Author's Note: This is loosely based on the book, 'Foreign Affairs' by Alison Lurie. I changed it to match the character's personalities, and surroundings, etc. Also, there are no powers, no alias.
Summary: A novelist on writer's block travels to the famous Jump City to get inspiration. And a high school teacher who is still getting over an ex girlfriend ends up being a tourist in the same city. What could happen when their destinies entwine and they meet. Modern AU; BBRae, hints of other pairings.
Disclaimer: I, TheBlindRaven, do not own the Teen Titans, nor the novel 'Foreign Affairs' of which its plot I have took the idea from. I gain no money from this whatsoever, so stop bugging.
Rachel Roth made her way through the inexperienced travelers blocking the aisle, found her seat which the ticket assigned her and prayed that no one had occupied it's companion. She put her duffel bag in the compartment above her head, and her backpack in the chair besides her. She took out her memory foam airplane pillow, her cotton blanket and her book to which she had bought specifically to entertain her during the flight.
She called one of the airplane attendants, and asked for tea.
She sighed to herself, thinking where would she be if obeyed her father and gave him what he wanted. Perhaps not in a airplane, where a bulky, sweaty man was breathing briskly behind her or where the magazines were the airline's brand. Perhaps she would not be headed to a city where she might not get what she is looking for, and it may be a waste of time, money and effort. Perhaps she would be with a man her father planned for her to get married with, and she would pretend to fall in love. Where only she would secretly do as her father orders, and invade the man's mind, and home. Find his deepest fears, insecurities and report back to him.
Her train of thought ceased to a stop by a light tap on the shoulder, and an equally light Excuse me, ma'am. The flight attendant whose fair hair was nicely done in an up-do, gave Rachel time to unclasp the plastic, little table on the back side of the chair. First she handed over a little container filled with packs of different sugars, then a steaming hot cup of water. Lastly, she showed Raven the varieties of teas they had in stock, and Rachel chose Earl Grey.
She made herself feel temporarily at home by taking of her shoes and tucking them underneath her seat, wrapped the blanket around herself, and buckled up.
When Rachel flips the first few pages of her book, a low rumbling noise surrounds her ears. She looks out the window, and sees that the plane is running swiftly, (as the trees and bushes and lights pass by fast) and is ready to take off. Truly, and personally, it's one of her favorite moments: when they lift off. To know that you are disconnected from the Earth makes her feel alone. And she prefers to be alone, then with obnoxious people; which occupies 90% of the world's population.
She reads, and she awaits for an adventure she doesn't know quite yet about.
Author's Note: Disappointingly short, but why would I give you a lot of information on only the first chapter? If people show interest, I will continue. Until then.
