FORBIDDEN
Raven was alone. She had tried to clear the events of the last few days out of her head with some aimless flying. As the cool, crisp, midnight air flew through her short, deep purple hair; she found herself thinking about her so called "father" Trigon, and Slade, his pawn in the game that he had played with the lives of the entire world.
Slade…
What actually happened to him? Did he retrieve the life that he so longed for? And the most important question of all, would he return?
He had played with her emotions so much, thinking of him now almost hurt. She landed on a soft patch of ground on the outskirts of the city. Her usual feelings of peace in her seclusion were nowhere to be found, however. She was plagued with a sadness… a loneliness… a longing… but for what?
Her communicator shattered the stillness and disrupted her train of thought. She sighed, and answered the blaring call.
"Raven? Where the hell are you? We need you here, like… NOW!"
Beast Boy's usually chirpy voice just wasn't there.
"What's the situation Beast Boy?"
"It's Slade. He's back."
