Our Demons
You know how movies always have the hero battle themselves to truly realize who they are on the inside
Well when it happened to us we never expected it to happen the way it did
It was a sunny day at Titan Tower but what was unusual was that their wasn't any crimes and hadn't been for the last 6 hours and we were all relaxing in our own ways,
Cyborg was barbequing on the roof while Starfire was swimming in the water with Robin; he actually looked happy for once as he swam and dived with Starfire, his mask still on his face, and his spiky black hair plastered to his forehead, Starfire's fanning itself in the air as she flew up and did cannonballs into the water,
I had taken the form of osprey and I was flying around, letting my bright green feathers absorb and refract the bright yellow of the sunshine, I was diving into the water and changing into a dolphin and doing tricks and when I got tired I'd turn into a raven and sit on the edge of Raven's chair and rest as she red her books and watched as the rest of us did stuff, but I kept trying to convince her to come out and have some fun with us.
I knew that she would never agree to do anything with us, but it wasn't because she didn't want to, it was because she was afraid to,
She was afraid that if she let her emotions get out of control, she would hurt us on accident, I knew this because I'd seen her when she was vulnerable and I've been in her head, I've also seen just how powerful she really is, I've seen her take on opponents bigger than she was…. And that's why I loved her.
I could never tell her how I felt, cause I knew that she would never believe it cause ever since Malchior fucked with her feelings she believes that she's an unlovable monster, but I will never let that stop me.
(A couple of hours later)
"We' red Raven go" asked Starfire her arms around Robin's waist her chin on his shoulder
"Yeah, do you think she's hungry" Robin asked
"I think she went to her room when the sun went down, something about having a headache" I said biting into a tofu dog and munching
"Hey let's go get her" Cyborg said flipping his four steaks on the grill onto a plate
"Yeah" everybody agreed… except me, I knew that she didn't like people in her room
"Uh guys maybe we shouldn't" but by the time I got the words out they were already out
"Crap" I muttered as I ran after them trying to get there as fast as I could, but I didn't get there fast enough, I could hear things getting thrown around, I heard her shout
"NNNNNNnooooooooo" and then the sound of something breaking
"Shit shit shit" I repeated but before I could get to the door I felt something like a gust of wind surround me and start to spin around me like a mini tornado before it exploded like an explosion in every direction.
"What the hell…." But before I could say anything I felt a pair of arms surround me and pull me into a hug, I looked up and realized that it was Raven, and that it was Raven's arms around me, I had never realized how much muscle she had or how good she smelled, or how big her beautiful amethyst eyes were, I looked into them and felt my self fall in,
Raven must have realized what she was doing, cause she immediately stepped back and blushed a deep red almost crimson, she put her hood over her head and asked me
"Are you okay, feeling anything weird?" she asked looking at her feet
"I felt something earlier…." I started
"Like a gust of wind" she said real quickly
"Yeah why?" I asked puzzled over why she's be worried about air
"Damn that means that you're involved to then" she said getting angry
"Come on I need to tell everybody what just happened" she said sounding…. Scared
I couldn't help but ask
"Raven is this dangerous, like life ending dangerous"
She just looked at me and nodded
"Crap"
There's never a good ending to a day at this tower.
