Ch 1-Gothem

The sun was shinning bright in the sky with the birds chirping. People were waking down the street going shopping or to lunch. On a corner of Broadway Dr. there was a café called Black Feathers. Inside there were tables, a stage in the back, bookshelves, and sofas. The walls in the sides were painted white and the walls at the front and the back were painted blue. The carpet was a mixture of red and black. Pictures of mountains, animals, and meadows were hung on the walls. The whole atmosphere was very calm and relaxing.

A woman with black wavy hair, brown with a tinge of gray eyes, wearing a red short sleeved shirt, and wore black pants and shoes was behind the counter. Another woman with long purple hair, athemyst with a tinge of blue eyes, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and wore blue pants and shoes was cleaning the tables.

"Raven," said the woman behind the counter.

"Yeah, Karen," said Raven.

"There's this benefit that is happening in the next week and I think that we should go," said Karen.

"Really," said Raven.

"Yeah, the benefit is to help kids from other countries to have a better education and get medical care," Karen explained.

"Who's running it?" asked Raven.

"Bruce Wayne and his son Richard Grayson," said Karen.

"Is there any other reason why you want to go," Raven said with a sly smile

"What are you talking about? I thought it would be a good idea for us to donate some money," Karen said defensively.

"Then it has nothing to with the fact that Victor Stone will be there," Raven said.

"Of course not! I really want to help the children out. It has nothing to do with the Mechanical Technician,' Karen said defensively.

"If you say so," Raven said.

"How did you know Victor was going to be there anyways?"

"The simple fact that he's Richard's best friend and that they always attend benefits together."

"Oh! Right, I knew that."

"Of course you did."

"Shut up."

Raven could only laugh at her friend. It was fun to tease her about this. Karen has had a crush on Victor since she first read about him in the Bludhaven Times magazine. They've known each other since they were in elementary school.

Raven turned the sign to "open." People came in for their lunch break before they had to get back to work. They were kept very busy during the lunch rush. After lunchtime was over everything started to slow down for their café. They were happy for the relaxation they had from the busy lunch rush.

"Why must lunch always be busy?" asked Karen while she was wiping tables.

"Because everyone wants a quick bite before they have to work again," Raven replied.

"Man my feet hurt," complained Karen.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have worn heels."

"They went with my outfit."

"You do know you didn't have to wear it right"

"Whatever, I can wear whatever I want."

"Then stop complaining."

"Do you always have to be right?"

"No, I don't always have to."

"Fine! You're right ok."

Raven shook her head. "What time is that benefit thing anyways?"

"It starts at 8:00 on Saturday," Karen said.

They locked up the café at 5:00. Walking towards Karen's red Hybrid they drove to their apartment. The apartment was about five blocks away from their café. They were both pretty beat when they got home. Going to their rooms they changed out of their work clothes and relaxed for a little bit.

Karen was busy reading one of her many Bludhaven Times magazines that had Victor Stone in it. She enjoyed working on her car when she had spare time and found Victor very informative on the subject. Her whole room was basically a shrine to him. Raven continuously teased her about it, but she didn't care. She wished to meet him at this upcoming benefit.

Raven spent her time meditating. Working always took her energy away and needed much relaxation. Her muscles were tensed and her focus was becoming strained. She chanted her incantation silently and emptied her mind. She floated in mid-air. It was like her own world that was always at peace. The scenery was pitch black with floating rocks everywhere. There was no color at all. Very depressing with just black sky and grey rocks. Once she was done Raven headed to the kitchen and made herself some herbal tea.
