A/N: K so yesterday I updated "Obscure" and today I've decided to update this. I'm feeling rather creative all of a sudden...

Disclaimer: We've been through this already...I Do not own Teen Titans.

"I heard he's dead. Some motorcycle accident or something."

"No you snot brains he's in the hospital!"

"Would you guys shut up already? If you could read you would have noticed it's been all over the news."

"How did he end up in the hospital then?"

"He stole something really important from some dude, and they tried to whack him. But turns out he never died and they didn't realize so now he's there."

"Morons. He helped the Titans rescue Raven because Slade took her or something. Slade got mad, found him and kicked his butt all the way to the emergency room."

"How do YOU know all that? The news never mentioned the details."

"I'm a Titan too remember? Whatever Flash hears, I hear."

"Good point."

Jinx rolled her eyes. "I gotta go. Flash thinks I went to buy makeup."

"Did Red X do anything to you?" Robin asked as he sat with Raven in her room. Raven never let anyone in her room willingly, except for a select few people on certain occasions. This was obviously am important matter and Robin was glad she was willing to share her quarters with him.

"No. I was in some room, blindfolded. He talked to me for a while but he didn't touch me or anything."

"What about Slade?" Robin's voice hardened at the name.

"What about him?" Raven tried to avoid the question.

"Did he ever... touch you while he was keeping you hostage?" Robin tried to meet her eyes but she was purposely avoiding his gaze.

"Robin, it doesn't matter. I really need to meditate now so.." Raven tried to convince her masked leader.

Robin's eyes narrowed as she finally met his stare.

"He kissed you," Robin's voice said deadly quiet.

"H-how do you know that?" Raven looked away again.

"Our bond Raven."

"I thought you couldn't see into my mind like I could see into yours," Raven said slightly irritated.

"I couldn't. It just started happening when Slade took you. I didn't know what was happening at first, but then while you were in that room...it's like I could hear what was going on between Slade and Red X. You were thinking about Slade kissing you before that, and it just flashed in my head for a second," Robin sounded as if he were struggling to remain calm.

"It was nothing. It didn't mean anything," Raven said with finality in her voice. Robin could only nod, understanding that she would not speak further on the matter. He caught her hand on the mattress between them and squeezed it slightly. Raven looked at their hands and gave a brief squeeze as well, before Robin let go and walked out of her room.

"It didn't mean anything?" A cool voice rang out in the dark room. "Are you really so sure of that?"

Raven tugged her cloak around her tighter, that voice cent chills down her spine. She turned towards the sound, but made no move to retrieve the black and orange communicator.

"I have to meditate Slade. I don't have time for pointless conversations with you," Raven said in her monotone.

"Your meditation can wait," Slade said pointedly.

"What do you want? I meant what I said to Robin. I'm going to mediate now and I don't want to be disturbed," Raven said icily.

"You wouldn't like to hear what I want dear Raven," Slade said sinisterly. Raven barely suppressed a tremor at his words.

"I'm losing my patience Slade," Raven hissed.

"You're beginning to sound like Robin," Slade chuckled lowly.

Raven huffed but waited. Slade seemed content to let Raven wait as he tinkered with some devices. Finally, he spoke again.

"You might be interested to hear about a certain friend of yours named 'Jinx'."

"Jinx is not my friend," Raven said indifferently.

"Perhaps not, but she is a Titan. She is also working for Brother Blood. You children trust too easily. I would have thought you learned that with Terra," Slade said coldly before the line went silent. Raven's eyes narrowed at the mention of her once friend. She wasn't surprised to hear that Jinx was still working with the Hive 5, but she hadn't expected to hear it from Slade.

A/N: Jinx is a double agent! The plot thickens...
