New chapter is here folks and I hope everyone is ready for the new chapter. Yes like I said in the last chapter this will take place during the Trigon arc. However, there will be some differences between the arc and the story. All which will be revealed as the story goes along. To my friend Wolf2 who helped me with the story. Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it. Also for those who got it right on who the girl was fighting in the last chapter, good job, and hope you like your cookie. I don't own anything of Teen Titans just my OC. Now, let's get started with the story and enjoy everyone.
Mission
Jump City
It's eight in the morning and Raven is in her room meditating. She tried to get some sleep since she got back to the tower last night. However, no matter how many times she closed her eyes and tried to dream she couldn't. Everytime she did she kept thinking about today.
How today is her birthday, how she was told when she was born what she would do when she's older, and how no matter what she does it will happen.
Still, so far nothing has happened since midnight. So if things continue going like this without any problems then this day will pass. If she just stays in her room and meditates then nothing bad will happen. That's all she can do is hope and pray this day will end without incident.
"Just 16 more hours and I'll be home free."
Raven looks at her clock hoping time can move faster. Oh how she would do anything to have the power to accelerate time. It would come in handy, especially for this day.
She then hears a knock on her door. She gets up and hears Robin's voice calling out to her.
"Raven, you awake?"
Raven opens the door and sees her friend. "Yes Robin?"
"We were thinking of going out for some breakfast," says Robin. "You want to come?"
Raven shook her head. "No thanks."
"Are you sure?" replied Robin again as he tries a different approach. "This new restaurant just opened up and they serve some of the best waffles in the world."
Oh that got to her. If there is one thing Raven loves other than her books, meditating, her friends, and life itself is waffles. But, with 16 hours left before this day is over she couldn't risk going out. Not even if the waffles are indeed the bet in the world.
"Sorry Robin, but um I'm not feeling well," replies Raven with a fake cough hoping it will convince her friend.
Robin however didn't seem convinced. "Are you sure? Do you want Cyborg to take a look at you?"
"No no I just need to get some sleep don't worry," says Raven not wanting to concern her friend. "I'll be fine just go and maybe bring me back some waffles?"
Robin smiles and nods his head. "Okay, well get some rest Raven and we'll see you later in the day."
Once she saw her friend is gone she closed the door and walks towards her bed. She then falls face first on her bed and lets out a loud groan.
She uses her powers to levitate her clock and takes a look at it. "Only 15 hours and 58 minutes to go before this day is over."
Meanwhile
Back in Chicago the young girl from last night is walking down the streets heading towards a nearby church. She didn't want to go out, especially since its cold and there's a lot of snow, and because she didn't bring anything warm to wear.
She makes her way inside and sees it's full of people. That doesn't surprise her since today is Sunday and that's usually when the church is full of people. So she makes her way to the back and goes towards the confessionals. She goes inside and begins speaking to the priest.
"What's up padre?" When she didn't get a response she tries again, more politely. "Hello father, I am here to confess."
With that she got a response. "What are you here to confess about my child?"
The girl lets out a small sigh and responds. "Well, last night I killed an Onryō spirit last night, I killed her evil little boy who meowed like a cat, and I may have accidentally caused some damage on the property…oh and I kicked a guy in the balls earlier today."
A groan came out from the priest when he heard what the girl did. "Why did you kick a man in the groin my child?"
"Because he was going to eat the last few waffles," the girl's expression and tone became serious. "I love waffles more than life itself."
"Yes I know Anna," says the priest knowing how the girl acts around waffles. "That still shouldn't give you the right to kick someone."
"What if I told you he called me a bitch?"
"Language Anna!" says the priest raising his voice before calming down. "I mean, you're in church Anna. You can't say those things and act disrespectful in the house of the Lord."
Anna rolls her eyes in annoyance. "I know that, but hey if you go through what I go through every day. If you did then you would understand why I forget how to act here."
The priest lets out another sigh again. "Anyways, I'll send your report to the Vatican. In the meantime the Pope wants to speak to you."
Anna's expression changes with what the priest said. "Why would he want to talk to me? I thought I wasn't allowed to see him until he has something important for me."
The priest pulls away the screen. "Then you know what this means."
The priest pulls a lever and the wall behind the two opens. He walks in with Anna walking behind him. They soon make it down and they see three priests working on an exorcist on an older woman. They ignore it and continue walking down the hall until they come across a large door.
"The Pope will be speaking to you through video chat," explained the priest which disappointed Anna a bit.
"Of course, I guess I shouldn't have thought he would want to meet me in person," says Anna in a sarcastic tone.
"He can't just leave the Vatican without the people knowing about it," replied the priest. "But, whatever he needs you to do must be really important."
The priest leaves Anna to enter the room alone. She opens it and sees several ministers inside praying. In the middle of the room on a large plasma screen the Pope appears. Anna makes her way towards the center of the room where the Priest greets her.
"Welcome my child," spoke the Priest in English with an Italian accent. "It is good to see you. Although I am sure you wish we could meet in person."
Anna bows in respect. "It is still good to finally meet you you're holiness."
The Pope motions for her to come closer. Once she was close enough she kneels down and waits to hear why she has been summoned.
"I heard of all the things you've done since you have arrived, one year ago today," said the Pope with a small smile on his face. "In that one year you have done so much good in the world. You have saved many lives. You have fought through so many challenges, and yet I sense you are still unhappy. Why is that?"
Anna lifts her up towards the Pope and sighs. "I think we both know why I'm not happy."
The Pope nods, understanding the girl's unhappiness. "Perhaps, this mission will change all of that."
Anna looks up at the pope wondering where she is off to. "So, what am I hunting? Is it ghosts? More monsters? Oh please tell me it's not another demonic or witch cult? I don't want to have to save another dumb teenager with a camera from a bunch of possessed witches."
"No no nothing like that," the Pope shows an image on the screen. "I think you recognize this symbol?"
Anna sees it and her expression becomes serious. She gets up and approaches the screen. "So, the time has come huh? I didn't think it would come so soon."
The Pope nods his head. "The messenger has been sent and once the message has been delivered then the end will begin. We can't prevent the message from being delivered, however there is one thing we can do."
"And what's that?" Anna asked wondering what the Pope wants her to do.
"We need you to kill the Gem."
For those who have seen the Teen Titan series, especially the Trigon Arc, then you know who the messenger is, and why Raven is locked in her room. For those who don't know don't worry you will find out as the story moves on. I hope you all like the introduction of Anna.
More will be revealed about her as the story goes on and I think you'll like what happens when you do find out. Please leave some reviews and let me know what you thought of the chapter. If you didn't like it then don't leave a flame review please. Take care and see you all next time.
