Chapter Two: Reprimands and Reminisces 2. (Raven's Perspective)
"Doctor Fate, what an honor," Robin beamed.
"Nothing good can come from this visit," I thought.
My heart sank when Garth walked into the room. I'd been caught up in a good book, and not kept up with my little love puppet's actions.
"Hello, Doctor…Fate," Garth slurred as if he was under a spell (which he was).
The gold and blue clad sorcerer turned immediately. He sensed the magic. I could tell.
"Garth?" he said suspiciously. My love nodded.
I grimaced when he took Garth into the infirmity, and locked the door by magic. I used a simple spell to eavesdrop.
"I know you're listening, Raven," the sorcerer said blandly. "I'll be talking to you soon enough." With those words, my spell ceased.
One hour later, in the common room.
"Titans, I have freed your teammate Garth from a spell he was under," Fate announced. "Raven, would you like to tell us why you ensorcelled this young man?"
"Not particularly," I growled.
"Very well," the interfering jerk shrugged. "Garth was under the influence of a very powerful love potion."
"That's why Garth changed his mind about Raven!" our brilliant leader exclaimed.
"It is also why he acts so out of it when she's not around," Cy continued.
"Wait!" a dozy Garth said. "Raven put a spell on me?"
"Way to keep up with the conversation, baby," I sneered at him.
"Friend Raven, did you do these terrible acts?" Starfire asked innocently. I felt a twinge of remorse. I really do like the little alien girl.
"Yes," I whispered. "I guess I don't handle rejection well."
"Raven is right to some extent, team," Garth sighed. "I could have handled the whole drama with us better."
"It doesn't assuage her guilt, though," Robin accused.
"No, it doesn't," glared Fate. "I will make a full report to the Justice League. You Titans must decide whether to defend Raven or turn her over the JLA." With that proclamation, the self absorbed tyrant left us.
"I'll make it easier," I shrugged. "I'll resign from the Titans."
"According to our bylaws, it may not be that simple," Cy said ominously.
It was decided that evening in the Tower. I would turn myself over to the JLA. Cy and Star would go along, but only for moral support. Garth, to his credit, also offered to come along, but the team decided against it. After all, his rights had been infringed upon.
I soon found myself in the company of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. Dr. Fate would bring the case against me.
"First of all, I wish to step down as a voting member for this trial. My friendship with Garth would keep me from being objective," Aquaman declared.
"Very well," Fate acknowledged. "Perhaps, Arthur, you should visit Garth. He was very upset when I left the Tower." The golden haired monarch nodded, and left.
Fate proceeded to tell my story. "Do you wish to challenge or correct any of the evidence told here, Raven?"
I wanted to suggest they do something vile with their evidence. I despised their self righteous morals. Instead, I just answered: "No."
"Then you acknowledge the truth of the accusations, knowing you're put your destiny in our hands?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Yes, I do."
"Then, Raven, wait in the room to our left. We will give you our judgment within the hour."
My version of Raven is not evil. She is selfish, and has social difficulties. Don't give up on my story, please. Raven and the story get better as I go.
Please, please review
