Welcome to ch.1 of......I don't want to be in Love!
Yes I got the idea from the song by Good Charlotte.
I own nothing!
Rae's P.O.V:
It is a cold night as I sit on the edge of Titan's Tower. I look out into the darkness, looking for an answer to my problems. I have unusual feelings for the leader of the Teen Titans, Robin. I also can still feel my father presence, even though over a year ago I defeated him. I also feel that someone is trying to either kill him or.....free him. I hate emotions and 'feelings', they disgust me.
I am Raven Roth, daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the bringer of Hell on Earth, the Destroyer. I am the power-fullest member of the Teen Titans, a group of teens with abilities, who devote their lives to protect the citizens of Jump City and the world. I am a half-demon sorceress, who if mad, can destroy the world with a flick of my hand. I hate my life, and certain people's too [Beast Boy, Terra, Slade, Trigon etc.].
After a while on the roof I go inside. It is midnight and no one is awake except me. I need to train physically. I train when everyone is asleep so they don't I can fight. I walk to my room and change into some training clothes [black shorts and a purple top that shows off my stomach and the tattoo of a raven with 4 slanted, red eyes on my back]. I transport to the training room and turn on some music. The song 'In the End'by Linkin Park turns on and surrounds me in the music. [I suggest listening to the song while reading]
When the song starts I attack the punching bag, though I hum and sing in some parts.
Instrumental
It starts with one thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, that time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away
Its so unreal, didn't look out below, watch your time go out the window
Trying to hold on,but I didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go, I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart.
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of time when..
I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all, in the end it doesn't even matter.
One thing, I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard in spite of the way you were mocking me, acting like was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far. Things aren't the way they were before, you wouldn't even recognize me anymore not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me in the end.
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time...
I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all, in the end it doesn't even matter.
By now I was letting out energy, anger and frustration. I was on the floor, viciously punch and ripping me 5 punching bag. Me anger grew with everything the song reminded me of, but I still love the song.
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I could go...
Before I could continue, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I grabbed the hand, twisted it, and threw the person into the wall without matting. I heard a grunt as the person hit the wall. When I looked at the person, I found my leader and crush, unconscious and bleeding from the head. I went over to the still form and transported us to the medical bay in the tower. I picked him up in dark magic and lay him gently laid him down on a bed. I put my hands over the wound in his head and surround my hands in blue healing magic. I healed his head and absorbed his pain so he wouldn't feel pain when he woke up. I felt a lot of pain and soreness.
He was slowly waking up as I was done healing him. He looked confused at my pain filled face.
"Rae are you okay? What happened," he asked walking over to me. He helped me over to the bed he was previously in.
"You snuck up behind me in the training room, I threw you against a concrete wall, head injury, I healed you and absorbed your pain," I summed up. I could feel understanding waves come off of him.
"I just need to rest," I state in monotone before transporting to my room. I fall on the black and purple bed, all energy leaving me. I fell asleep not seeing Robin come in the room to talk to me.
I slowly woke up, feeling warm. I cuddle into the warm pillow beside me. The pillow feels hard and is moving. My eyes instant shoot open and I jump from the bed, landing on my feet on the floor. There in the bed was a waking Robin, his arms trying to find, where I previously was. He grunted before waking. He looked at me and blushed a bright scarlet red.
"Why are you in my room, in my bed," I growl. I feel his shock and afraidness of this situation.
"I came to talk to you after you transported from the med. bay and I found you laying on the side of your bed asleep. I put you under the covers, but when I walk away I tripped and fell on the other side of the bed. I was so tired, I accidentally fell asleep," Robin explained. I could tell he was telling the truth.
"Fine go," I growl, pointing to the door. He was instant out f the bed and walking towards the door. He quickly leaves the room and runs away, like Beast Boy. I am getting dressed when the siren goes off. 'Oh great,' I think to my self. I finish getting dressed and go to the living room.
"What's up," Cyborg asks, following me into the room.
"There is an intruder in the tower," Robin answers, blushing when he looked at me. Before anyone could speak again the power went off. The tower went into shut-down mode, nothing could get in, nothing could get out. We were stuck in the tower, with an intruder, and the power was out. I have really bad luck.
"Titans stay together," Robin yells as we all go our separate ways. We all paired up, Me and Robin, Beast Boy and Starfire, Cyborg went alone because he knows the tower the best. Robin and I stayed in the living room while the others went to different rooms. I started to search the tower for a new aura. I found it, it was brown. Cyborg's aura was blue, Starfire's was pink, Beast Boy's was green, Robin's was red and mine is black. The bad thing is, the brown aura is in this room, with Robin and I.
'The intruder is behind us,' I inform Robin through our mental connection.
'When I say 'go' attack him,' he instructs. Oh great, we are fighting an enemy we have no knowledge of, this will turn out badly.
"Go," Robin yells. I pick the intruder up in dark magic and start to crush him. The weird thing is, I was enjoying causing this man pain.
"Raven stop," Robin yells in worry. I slowly let the man fall to the floor. I start to look him over. He was wearing a Roman outfit, he had on glasses and had wings on his shoes. He fit the description of Hermes, the messenger of the Greek Gods, perfectly. He was losing consciousness slowly, man I must be getting stronger.
"Hermes," I question in monotone. He looked up at me and analyzed me like I did him.
"Yes my name is Hermes, I am the messenger of the Gods. You must be Raven, the daughter of Trigon the Terrible. I have nothing except respect and gratitude for you," Hermes states. I feel my blood run cold at my 'father's' name.
"Yes, I am Raven Arella Roth. Why are you here," I question. I feel Robin's frustration for he can't see.
"Zeus needs the Teen Titans to protect Persephone. She is one of many of Zeus's daughters, but Demeter's only child. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring, her mother the Goddess of the Four Seasons," explains/pleads Hermes.
"Why would we help you," Demands Robin as he steps in front of me. I can sense his anger.
"You must be the rude leader Robin. I was not talking to you, I was talking to the power-fullest being in this universe. You have no right to speak to me ingrate," Hermes lectures, disgust laced in his light voice. Robin steps to the side, glaring where he thinks Hermes is.
"Why would they want mortals to protect Persephone," I question in monotone.
"Almost none of you are mortal. You became a full demon when you defeated your father, you are the only one who is not nearly mortal, you are immortal now. Robin is the only one who is fully mortal, Cyborg will last longer due to being half-robot, Starfire is an alien, and Beast Boy is a not fully developed species of animal-human," Hermes explains with detail. I am in shock, I am a full-fledged demon! That means I have all of Trigon's powers and strength, all the abilities of a sorceress, every power of every demon that ever existed, and control over every element. I am the power-fullest being in the universe at the moment, even more power-fuller than one one the Greek Gods. I can feel my hair grow to mid-back, the color turning a darker shade of violet with midnight black highlights.
Both Hermes and Robin back away till they reach the wall. My eyes were probally glowing a bright red. I calm my self down and relax.
"We will protect Persephone and stay in Olympus," I agree.
"Good, I'll be back in a week to take the Teen Titans to Olympus," Hermes explains.
"Ok, Thank You," I reply. He bows before me as a symbol of respect. After a moment of silence the power comes back on.
"I need to train," I comment before transporting to the park. It was probably around midnight. I transported Robin's Ipod to my hand. I sat on a bench and turned on some music. The song 'Earth, Wind, Fire and Air' by the Hex Girls came up next. I decided to train with this song.
Earth, wind, fire and air. We may look bad but we don't care, we ride the wind, we feel the fire, to love the earth is our one desire.
Love the earth, it's only fair. It is one big earth that we must share. We love the earth with all our fire, it's in our souls, our one desire.
Earth, Wind, Fire, and air, we may look bad but we don't care. We ride the wind, we feel the fire, to love the earth is our one desire, to love the earth is our one desire
Nature is a precious gift, if you make your spirits lift, Love the earth with all your fire, it's in your soul, your one desire
Earth, Wind, Fire and Air, we may look bad but we don't care, we ride the wind, we feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire, to love the earth...is our one desire.
As the song ended I surrounded myself in fire before shooting it into the air where it quietly exploded like fireworks. I was quite proud of my self. I then went to 'playlists' on the menu. He had a play-list for each titan, mine had the most songs. Under my play-list he had the songs 'Angel of Darkness', 'Lips of an Angel', 'Do you Believe in Magic', 'We are', 'Not Meant to be', 'Whenever, Wherever', 'Story of a Girl', 'Black Horse and a Cherry Tree', 'Rush, '....To be Loved', 'Getting Away with Murder', 'Never again', 'Everybody's Fool', 'Bring me to Life', 'Every time we touch', 'Pain', 'Animal I've become', 'One girl Revolution', and 'In the End'. All these songs, I realize, reflect who I am, how Robin feels towards me, and what I would listen to. Dear God, Robin is obsessed with me like he was with Slade. This was getting creepy.
I decide on practicing some more. I put on the song 'Rush' by Aly & A.j.
Into your head, into your mind, out of your soul, race through your veins. You can't escape, you can't escape.
Into your life, into your dreams, out of the dark sunlight again. You can't explain, you can't explain.
Can you feel it, can you feel it? Rushing through your hair, rushing through your head. Can you feel it, can you feel it?
Don't let anyone tell you your life is over. Be every color that you are, into the rush now, you don't even know how. Know it all before you'll try.
More than you land spinning around, lifting your feet right off the ground. You can't believe this is happening now......
After that I pay attention to what I was doing. Black and red magic was flying smoothly around me. I noticed every thing except the black magic, would wrap around me and protect me. 'This is different, the magic is protecting me,' I think to my self. I look at the time on the ipod, it is 3:49 am. I transported Robin's ipod to his room. I transported my self to the kitchen, no longer needing sleep. I put my hood down, I never put it down all day yesterday.
I made some herbal tea with my powers and sat on the couch. The sun was just rising and it was so bright. I sat in the comforting silence drinking tea and relaxing. My magic has never been so cooperative. Soon Robin walked in the room and made his usual coffee. After his coffee is done, he sits besides me on the couch. We finish our drinks in silence. So the silence becomes awkard and tense.
"If you need to say or ask something, you can," I inform he, breaking the silence.
"Can you control your new and power-fuller powers," Robin asks quickly.
"Yes, I practiced with them yesterday and I am in perfect control," I reply slightly offended.
"I need you to prove it," He challenges.
"Fine," I state in monotone. I grab his arm and transport us to the roof. He is in a state of shock when we reach the roof.
"Fight me, try to kill me," I command. He looks wary and shy.
"Do it Robin or I will leave the Teen Titans," I threaten. He instantly is in a battle stance. I transport him his belt of gagets and weapons.
"Fight," I anounce. He charges at me with speed, I just stand there. I decide not to fight him. When he comes in a 2 foot range, red magic shoots out of me and pushes him to the other side of the huge roof. The magic is not done with him though. It punches him and weakens him. I command the red magic to return to me, it does. I then surround his body, except his head, in water from the ocean below. I then cover his head in water. I wait till he starts to thrash to let him go. I drop him on the floor as he coughs and chokes. I could tell I won.
"The magic protected you on it's own didn't it," Robin asks. I shake my, now hooded head, yes. We then go down to the living room where the rest of the team was.
"What was y'all doin' up there," Cyborg asks, pausing the video game.
"I was fighting ans beating Robin," I answer in monotone. They all looked shocked, except Robin who was sulleningly walking towards the door to the hall way.
"Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, I want you 3 to fight me 1 against 3," I instruct/demand.
"Are you sure Friend Raven," Starfire asks unsure and warily.
"Yes," I comfirm. I transport us all to the power training room [they have one to fight with powers and one to fight physically]. They go on one side of the huge room as I go to the other.
"Go," Robin yells. They all charge at me. My magic instead of defending me, attacks them viciously. They lose quickly, all of them unconscious or to weakened to fight anymore. During the entire fight I just stood there with my arms crossed. I called my magic in when I could tell they lost. I sent blue magic out that healed them, their pain did not come though, to me or them.
We all went to the living because Robin had to tell them about us going to Olympus and leaving Jump City and Titan's Tower to Titans East.
"We are going to Olympus, the home of the ancient Greek Gods, to protect Zeus's and Demeter's daughter Persephone," I explain instead of Robin sense Hermes addressed and told me most of it.
"Okay, another vacation," yells Beast Boy immaturely.
"I can deal," Cyborg approves.
"Another culture to study? Oh joyous, I shall make the Pudding of Joyousness," Starfire squeals happily. We all make excuses and run from the room. We all went to our rooms to pack for the trip. In 6 more days, we would be in the godly city of Olympus.
Well there was ch.1 of 'I don't Want to be in Love'.
I highly suggest listing to the the songs while reading. Most of the songs I picked, I like.
Well leave a comment if you feel like it!
