Prologue
A/N: I'm back! And so is Drake. I promised a sequel and here's the introduction. You will notice it basically the ending from the past story but I added a few more details.
Raven's Point Of View.
It's been four and a half years since the demon Apollyon escaped from my father's domain to earth. Four and half years without hearing from him. During these years the Titans took their own paths. I went back with my mother and trained with her; I never knew what happened to the rest of them. During this year I was summoned by the Justice League, where I was offered a job; little did I know that it would reunite me with my old friends. Robin (now called Night wing) still wore his mask over his blue eyes, he was more built, mature, more like batman but not the same. Starfire, hadn't changed much. Expect now she wore the crown of her people on her head and she was less…ignorant than before. She was still her same old "Hugs" and "Friendship!" and bla bla bla. Cyborg had changed a lot, not attitude wise as much but his robot parts were more up to date, he had more weapons and other gadgets. Beast boy had changed a lot. He gotten taller, more mature. On the other hand he had kept his humor and kept making failed attempt to crack jokes. It's amazing the changes one has when they turn 18.
I had changed as well. My magic no longer required to be controlled by my emotion as it had been before. My mother taught me how to control my powers by will. It was a long and hard process but I finally was able to master it. I was more mature, my hair was kept short and physically I really hadn't changed much. I still wear my blue cape with the hood up. However, with my friends I will keep my hood down, with them I have no need to cover my face and look more intimidating.
The Justice League headquarters circled the earth's atmosphere at a slow speed. Its long hallways with wide windows that gave you the breath taking view of the earth and a close-up on the stars that shined from beyond. Walking these hallways you would often encounter with others from the League. Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, sometimes you would catch Batman walking down towards the main computer, and other times you would catch a glimpse of the speedy Flash. Aqua man of course rarely came seeing how he has a son and a queen and a whole Atlantian civilization to guard and lead. I've encounter with the Flash many times. Often he has tried to make a humorous conversation with me but it's failed.
I was settled by the main computer along with Cyborg and Martian Man hunter. Curiosity overcame me when I saw the Arkham prison file. I looked at all of the prison inmates, I found Two-Face, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Gator, Felix Faust, Scarecrow, Bane, The Riddler, Grundy, Killer Croc; it seemed that every villain in Gotham was there. But no sign of the Jokers. So I scrolled down the list a little more and found The Joker and Harley Quinn. Drake's parents! But where was he? I kept looking but found no records; I was about to click on the Jokers name when the sirens started to blast all over the watch tower. Closing the computer I used my powers to teleport to the main hall.
"What's going on?!" Beast boy called out.
"I don't know the systems being hacked! I can't figure out who it is though!" Cyborg yelled back.
"It's Joker" Martians calm voice echoed through my mind.
"What? But he's in Arkham isn't he?" I thought back.
"Appears that he broke out".
I was about reply when the giant screen flickered to life in the main hall. Superman flew up to the front; the screen went blank for a minute before turning black. A single light appeared and a laughter all too familiar rang across the speakers.
"The Justice League, oh we are going to have fun with you aren't we Harley?" Joker stepped into the light.
"Why yes pudding, especially with that BIG surprise Mr. Luther has planned." She smiled at the camera as she stepped into the light next to the Joker.
"What is Luther's plan?" Superman demanded.
"Now where is the fun in telling you that information?"
My heart stopped. I knew that voice; it was the voice from all those years ago. After all this time...My eyes snapped up to the screen and there I saw two familiar crimson eyes….Drake. He sounded even older. His mask was on; white make-up and dark circles around his eyes. His permanent smile was still in place. His dark hair was barely visible in the obscurity of the background. I drew a sharp breath as he stepped into the light, revealing how tall he had gotten, his more mature features; his hair had grown a little. He had changed his clothing though. He wore a tight black shirt, which was covered by a light zipper hoodie which looked like his old one just less loose. Purple on the outside, green on the inside. He still wore those skinny black jeans and converse. My eyes stayed glued on the screen; for a moment I forgot where I was and that I had others with me. All I could see was him. Just like before he was taken away to Gotham. My fingers slowly went up to my lips as I remember that day. He looked into my eyes with his grin set in place, only now it looked softer and less insane. He then said directly at me:
"Isn't that right…Raven?"
Whispers broke out in the room I glanced at my fellow Titans; of course they knew about my past with him but no one else did. Superman flew towards me and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"Raven what do you have to do with this?" Superman asked softly.
"I…" I started to say.
"We know him from four years ago Superman, he was terrorizing Jump City," Robin cut in for me.
I shot him a thankful glance, which he nodded to. I looked back to the screen to see Joker placing a hand on Drake's shoulder with an approving smile. Drake kept his eyes on me almost with an apologetic gaze but smirked instead.
"This has been fun, let's leave to make sure the information sinks in," Joker suddenly interrupted.
"Goodbye Nuisance league." Harley spoke in a high pitched manner.
"See you around…Raven". Drake winked and disappeared from the screen.
The Titans came to me side and beast boy placed his hand on my shoulder.
"You ok Raven?" He asked innocently.
"Fine." I replied in a neutral voice.
"Raven a word". The Batman said in his gruff voice.
"Yes sir."
With that I easily kept pace with Batman, knowing he would probably want answers to his questions. We arrived to his interrogation room.
"Why is Joker's son interested in you?"
"I…" I sighed knowing I couldn't lie to Batman. "I used to have feelings for him".
"Do you still have those feelings?"
"No".
"He's a joker you know that right? He cannot be trusted." Batman paused. "Tell no one about your past feelings only I, Martian and your former Titans can know understand?"
"Yes".
Hero and Villains don't belong with each other. If anyone found out well it could cause (not only for me but for him as well) a lot of problems. Problems like…
"Raven, so…who was that?" Said the most annoying voice I ever heard in my life behind me.
Supergirl.
