Well, what do you think? I hope you are enjoying it so far.
CH 2 Where? What? Why?
CH 2
There was a knock on the door that caused the two girls to jump off the bed landing with a loud 'oomph' on the floor. Exchanging glances they sighed in annoyance and got to their feet once more. They had currently been submerged in a series they had been watching on Netflix called 'Totally Spies.' Even though they knew spies didn't really work that way, they still found the show intriguing on their childish side.
Two women poked their heads in through the crack of the door. Red hair hung down on the indigo hair under her. "Hello my bungorf." Starfire floated into the room followed by Raven. She landed in front of her daughter, arms open.
"I missed you Knorfka." Mar'i hugged her mother allowing her mother's arms to tighten just enough for a proper loving hug.
After Rayonna broke away from her hug with Raven, she looked up at her mother. "I got glued and trapped in my bed covers." She sarcastically grinned.
"What?" Raven curiously asked knowing nothing good was going to come out of this.
"Yup." Plopping back on her bed, Mar'I stared up at her Aunt Raven with a-you-better-believe-it expression while Starfire continued to stroke her daughter's hair. "Oh and you might not want to go into the kitchen." Her disgusted expression said everything.
"What exactly happened this weekend?" Now Raven was even more worried to go anywhere else even in the tower.
"You left the tower to a bunch of teens." Ray gave her mother a 'duh' expression. "What did you think would happen?"
"We were hoping, maybe, some of the cleaning would be done." Starfire innocently gave a hopeful grin at the two girls. The two teens exchanged brief glances before busting out in sarcastic laughter. However, the mothers did not find this amusing and stared at both teens sternly until they realized they weren't getting anywhere.
"We did in fact clean." The two locked arms while Mar'I continued. "But you left us with three other teens, all of which are boys. I may have a C in math but you get my point."
"Then I suppose I am proud of you two." Mar'I smiled at her mother's praise towards their effort in an attempt to keep their home clean.
"After this weekend I can't wait for school tomorrow." Ray sighed allowing her self to sprawl out on the bed comfortably secured in her cloak.
Starfire and Raven exchanged sad glances before informing the girls of their new arrangements. "About that." Looking down at Mar'I, Starfire was unsure if this really was the best idea.
"You won't be going to school anymore." Raven sighed backing up to avoid contact from the girls.
Despite Mar'I's slacking in an attempt for good grades, she did in fact enjoy the place and the people. At school she was popular and had friends that didn't know who she really was. Having that opportunity was her only way to actually meet other people, boys specifically, and go to parties. Rayonna, even though she excelled in all her studies and found the information boring, enjoyed every last bit of her time just being a teen, especially the pranks she pulled. She was a straight A student, teachers weren't going to rat her out. Mar'I and Ray were a tag team. They did everything together even had the same group of friends.
Two heads and four hands exploded towards the ceiling, metaphorically of course, as they both stared bug eyed at their parents. "WHAT?!" Both girls exclaimed.
"And you won't be leaving the tower. At least not without one of us." Raven continued sternly.
"You are to tell us at all times where you are going and what you are doing. There will also be no communication with the outside world." Starfire ordered in her motherly tone.
"Are you for real?" Ray cocked her head and raised an eyebrow at her mother. Her mother nodded with her stern expression. "What's going on?"
"Just some of the precautions." Mar'i exchanged a quizzical expression with her mother who maintained her stern motherly expression where you-either-do-it-my-way-or-there-will-be-consequences.
"And everyone else agrees so don't try to go off and trick one of us." Raven raised an eyebrow at Rayonna as she slumped back with a sheepish smile. The same kind of smile Changeling had that made Raven's heart melt every time.
"We're being held captive in our own home!" Dramatically grabbing her head, Mar'i fell back on the bed, turning on her side to hide away her face.
There was another knock on the door as Jinx poked her head in. "Did you tell them?" She asked staring at the two distraught teens on the bed. The two women didn't even need to answer. "So, how are my two favorite nieces?" A greeting smile crossed her face.
"Fine, if you consider totally destroying our LIVES FINE!" Mar'I huffed as her eyes flashed purple. Ray stared at her cousin with curiosity. Usually Mar'I was the well behaved one. Taking a deep breath she was able to control her anger once more before putting on a fake accepting smile of the whole situation. "I'm fine, thank you."
"Hey Auntie Jinx." Ray allowed Jinx to come in and hug her.
"You two don't call either of us the auntie." Starfire pouted in a mature teasing way.
"Because Auntie is for the ones we love the most." Mar'I hugged her Auntie. "And the ones that don't share new life crushing information." She sent a scowl at Raven who only rolled her eyes. "We're glad most of all to have you back." Jinx widely grinned at the two girls smiling lovingly at her.
"Yeah," She sighed with a smile. "What did they do now?"
"So many, many, things." Strongly emphasizing many and still maintaining a smile showed just how irritated Rayonna was with her twin cousins.
"Well, we already ate dinner so we are sleeping in here." Standing up, the black haired teen began to usher out her aunts and mother.
"Oh we ate already too so we will be off too bed now. Had an eventful weekend." Starfire sighed as the door was slammed into her face. Raven and Starfire sighed heavily turning towards Jinx.
"I better go say goodnight to my boys." With a smile Jinx hurried off down the hall leaving Raven and Starfire contemplating everything that had just fallen upon them in one weekend.
"Well, goodnight Star." Raven waved and headed down the hall to her and Changeling's room.
"Goodnight friend Raven." Floating lightly above the floor, Star left for her own room with Nightwing to receive some well deserved rest.
Inside the room the two girls pressed their ears to the door to be sure no one was around to hear any plans. Mar'i was the first to turn around to Ray with a wide smile biting down on her lower lip her eyes squished together with content. Ray smiled deviously at her cousin.
"We aren't really going to bed, are we?" A curious grin crossed the grey girl's face. Mar'I shook her head happily maintaining her excited expression holding out her phone. "Awesome," The two girls began ecstatically jumping around holding hands.
The text read 'Party at my place 9pm to whenever we all pass out or the cops show up. Bring Ray ;),Trent' a squeal escaped their mouths and they quickly placed a hand on each other's mouth placing their other finger to their own lips.
"We'll leave in 30 minutes and then it will be 9 making us fashionably late." Mar'i tried to contain her excitement but instead ended up flying along the ceiling.
"That gives us plenty of time for everyone to fall asleep." Ray floated up to her friend on the ceiling. "We have to be quiet."

Thirty minutes later they were sneaking out of Mar'I's window. Both were capable of levitating and flying so this was a piece of cake for them. They wore slim jeans with a loose yet stylish top. Making one last peak over her shoulder from the window, Ray followed Mar'I out soon flying over their little island and landing on the streets of their city. Walking along the streets was a better option so not to draw attention once they arrived at the party.
The house could be heard a block away. They both exchanged exited glances and squeals as they quickly ran to the flashing lights and loud music. While the party raged on, both found themselves a bit hesitant as they stood just outside the door.
"The whole school has to be here." Rayonna breathed staring up at the large doors leading into the school party.
"Well, not going to get anywhere out her." Mar'I winked with a sly grin and knocked on the door. The minute felt like an hour before the door opened.
"Mar'I, Ray, I'm sooo glad you could make it!" A tall blonde haired boy practically yelled just so he could be heard over the noise while still dancing too the pop music. "Well don't just stand there, come in." He ushered. Anxious looks were exchanged as they followed the boy into the house of crazy. The house was huge, but there were so many people the girls were surprised the house was still standing. A lot of these boys were seniors in high school.
"Yeah a lot of these people are my brother's friends." Trent yelled back at them over his shoulder. They were led to the kitchen where he handed them two cups filled with drinks. "So, ready for that math exam Tuesday?" He casually asked Mar'I who was still examining the contents of her cup unaware anyone was even talking to her.
"Is this alcohol?" Ray asked dipping her finger in and then tasting the liquid.
"My brother got it for me." He deviously ginned as if he were the big shot. "Well come on, lets dance."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They danced for well over an hour before both girls found themselves resting on the couch. Their excitement had been diminishing as time passed. It seemed that every thirty minutes more people came and the crazier it got. An uneasy feeling began to set in Rayonna's stomach.
Mar'I turned at the feeling of an elbow in her side. She examined Ray who gave her the look saying –lets-get-out-of-here. A brief glance around and she responded back with a nod. They got up, but before they could leave they saw flashing red and blue lights outside of the house. Immediately their hearts fell into the pits of their stomachs.
"Run!" Someone screamed while pointing outside to the police.
Instantly everyone stopped and processed what was going on. It only took a matter of seconds before everyone began trampling each other just to escape the home. During the rush of it all Mar'I felt a pinch on the back of her neck. She turned to Rayonna who seemed to be holding her neck as well. Police began storming into the house. Taking the back door, they bolted out and flew up into the sky.
A shock traveled down their bodies. Unable to control their powers they fell down and hit the ground with a bone shattering thud. Both girls were sprawled out unconscious.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Woah, what?" Rayonna groaned and rubbed her eyes only to be stopped by the inability to move her right arm. Looking down she saw it in a sling over her shoulder. "Crap," She groaned in annoyance.
"Well it's about damn time." Mar'I jumped down from the bunk above Ray only to stumble over on her left side.
"You broke your foot?" Her purple and green eyes examined the girls foot that was disgustedly swollen and purple. "But I thought-"
Mar'I held up a hand to her friends face cutting her off. "I thought you could heal your self?" She pointed at the arm that rested in a sling supported by her shoulder.
"Where are we?" After finally processing the injuries, now where they were was more important. After about a moment and seeing the hall of cells it finally clicked causing her to narrow her eyes. "Shit,"
"Shit indeed my friend. Luckily there the officer had a sling and put your arm in it. I faked off my foot." Hobbling over to the punk Ray sat on; she plopped down raising her leg up high. "My neck still hurts." She whined.
"Same, and there is a bump. Think something bit us?" Ray asked curiously feeling around her bump on the back of her neck.
Her hand scanned over the strange bump protruding from her neck. It wasn't large, perfectly invisible when her hair was down, but the pain was enormous. Ray looked on the back of Mar'I's neck to see if her pump could lend any clues. It was just a regular big bite, but why did it hurt so much and send an electrical shock down their body?
"You two," They turned too the officer who was ushering them to come forward with his finger. "You get one phone call to call a parent." As he flipped through his papers in his clip board Mar'I and Ray exchanged nervous glances.
"Your dad," Mar'I whispered tiling her head towards the officer who wasn't even paying attention.
"You're kidding right?" The girl arched an eyebrow with a stale face. "If I call him then Mom finds out and if Mom finds out then we are both dead. Call your Mom." She suggested.
"Hah, Mom tells dad everything and if dad finds out then we're both dead too. Come on, uncle Gar can keep a secret and handle this." Emerald eyes pleaded as she attempted the puppy dog face.
Rolling her eyes she gave in. "Fine," Rayonna sighed dryly. "Officer, I know who I am going to call."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The phone rang causing Gar to grown and roll over to his night stand. Lazily reaching over he managed to grab the correct device and placed it to his ear. "Hello?" He yawned checking over to see Raven still sleeping.
"Hey Dad," The voice on the other line greeted with a nervous laugh.
"Rayonna?" Gar leaned further up finally fully awakening. Raven shifted slightly and he lowered his voice. "What's up?"
"Hah, funny story, you are totally going to laugh, but you should make sure that you are away from Mom." She added.
Gar sighed and slipped out of the covers slowly getting to his feet. A groan escaped Raven forcing him to hold his breath. She sighed and pulled the covers up closer then fell silent again. Like a shadow he slipped out into the hall.
"What's wrong, where are you?" He anxiously asked.
"Well that's the funny part." She fell silent for a moment. "Mar'i and I are in jail."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Well?" Mar'I ran from the bunk while Rayonna was placed back in the cell. "Is he coming? What happened?"
She sighed "Dad's coming." Her voice was dry.
"What's wrong then?" Greens eyes examined the grey girl.
"I just had to call my dad and tell him I was in jail for going to a party!" Her eyes narrowed, similar to her Mother's when she was unhappy, showing a dry expression.
"Right," Mar'i sheepishly grinned while limping back over to the bunk.
"He should be here soo-"
"You two," The officer called at the two girls while Gar stood next to the man with his arms crossed and a disappointed frown.
"What happened to you two?" Gar asked as they walked and limped past him towards the exit.
"We fell," Ray explained.
"From what?" He curiously examined the girls with his goofy confused expression.
"From the sky," Mar'I added pushing the doors open and heading towards the Titan's car. "So does anyone else besides you know?"
They all buckled up. "Nope," He turned the keys starting the engine and driving off. "Why aren't you two healing?"
"Our powers aren't working and apparently neither is our ability to heal. Ray dislocated her shoulder and I think I broke my ankle, though the pain is somewhat tolerable." She explained quietly avoiding eye contact in the back seat.
"Well, since this is our secret, you still need to do training tomorrow. Nightwing's orders and I expect you both to be there." From the back seat they both caught Gar's eyes from the rear view mirror and sighed heavily.
I have a friend that's going through a rough time right now and it really bothers me I can't help. What should I do?
well have a nice day
