(A/N: Random, yes I know, I just thought I should do this incase sometime I would get an idea that I couldn't put in my stories, or that I couldn't put into a bigger story, so yea… welcome to The Lunchbox.
This chapter is about Raven thinking about her relationship with Terra… pre Aftershock)
It didn't bother me. It never bothered me. Well, it sometimes bothered me. But I would never lead anyone to believe that it did. Never. The setting sun cast beautiful reds, yellows, oranges, pinks, and purples across the Jump City skyline. The colors blended together so easily, they faded into the color next to them, next to them like they belonged to each other.
If only that were true in all cases. That colors would blend so beautifully in everything. If everything just blended, like places, things, and people. Especially people. Like if the biggest and loudest of cities and the luscious, fertile valley's of a meadow would blend.
Like black and yellow, if they would blend, not clash. I knew I was asking the universe too much if I could get yellow and black to blend nicely. If you blend yellow and black together, you get a weird, murky color. And that is how it is with her and me. It's murky, and it always was, and always will be.
She blew into our lives like a hurricane, making quick friends with all the other titans, even stealing Beast Boy's heart. Maybe that was why we were murky. She was my polar opposite, she was fun, I wasn't, I was quiet, and she was loud and playful. She is yellow, and I am black.
What bothered me was that, everyone liked her more. And I knew they said that I was their friend, but… I knew in the back of their heads, they enjoyed her company more. The way she made them laugh, the way she made them smile, the way she had gained their trust so quickly.
As I stared out over Jump City Bay, and levitated a foot above the ground, as the sound of the waves lapping up onto the rocks, the peacefulness of the gulls calling overhead, the peace and quiet of no one bothering me, I felt lonely.
What confused me the most was that, I was jealous of her. I was jealous of her relationships with all of the titans. But, from some unknown reason, I was jealous of her relationship with Beast Boy. After trying to convince myself that I had no feelings for him, that I had no feelings for anyone, I was proved wrong. I did have feelings for the green prankster.
I inhaled deeply. Terra. Could she be trusted? I didn't want to think that I could right away like the other Titans did. Robin knows better, well he should know better. For all we know, Terra could be a spy and working for Slade. I shook my head, if she was, she was going to pay. She would pay dearly for using the Titans like that.
Suddenly she heard laughing from the stairs and heard the creaking of the door. "Oh, sorry Raven, we didn't know you were up here." Her giggling voice piped up from behind me. I sighed. Like hell you did. I cracked my eyes open, amethyst glaring into blue.
"It's fine. I was just leaving anyway." I said monotonously, just like everything else. No emotions, no pain, that's how I looked at it, but when she came around, my perspective on things changed.
"Oh, okay, thanks Rae." Beast Boy said and smiled at me, walking Terra over to the edge of the Tower. I came across like I hated the name, but I had a secret liking to it. It made me happy when he said it, but again, not like I'd lead anyone to believe. Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll fall. A voice in the back of my head said.
I turned to walk down into the deep corridors of the Tower. But before I entered he spoke. "I owe you one Raven." I smile tugged at my lips. All you owe me Beast Boy is some of your time. I thought.
"Me too Rae, I owe you one." Her voice squeaked out. My eyes narrowed and the smile that threatened to spread vanished. You don't owe me anything Terra.
"Don't call me Rae." I muttered and that was the last thing I said before I phased out and reappeared in the common room of Titans Tower. I heard a gasp as when I tended to do this, I tended to scare and surprise people.
"Friend Raven! Did you have a nice meditation?" Starfire asked me happily as her hands were folded in front of her chest, hope in her eyes.
I nodded. "Yes. It was nice. Thanks Starfire." I said and floated an inch above the floor; the tips of my toes every so often would touch the carpeted floor. I floated towards the couch were I had left my book. As I turned the side of the couch, I noticed something that wasn't by my book when I left it.
I peered at it curiously, but when I realized what it was I narrowed my eyes. Sitting on top of my book, sat a rock, no bigger then my fist, wrapped in a yellow ribbon, tied in a bow at the top, a little piece of paper was taped to the ribbon. Truce? Was written in someone's handwriting across the front of the rock. I snatched the rock from its perch and pulled the note off. I crumbled it with my hands and tossed it on the floor.
I then used my powers to pick up the rock and cover it in a black aura. I phased it through the window and let if fly out into Jump City Bay. I could tell the other Titans were staring at me as I did so, but I didn't care, let them see. Let them think I was a bigger freak then I already was. I let out a deep breath as I picked up my book and sat down, opening to the page where I left off.
As I did so, I happened to notice the yellow ribbon lying crumbled on the floor. I quickly shifted my eyes back to the book. No Terra. There would never really be an honest "truce". You would always be yellow, and I would be black. When put together, we will always be murky.
Always.
(A/N: That was a quick, very short little blurb about Raven and Terra… anyway, I hope you review and tell me what you think! Tell me if you liked it, and tell me what you want to see next! Or if I should continue! Lol Swn)
