Saturday - 7:15 PM - North Blüdhaven Art Gallery - Blüdhaven, USA

~Rachel's (Raven's) P.O.V.~

The opening was a hit. Hundreds of people were gathered into one building to see amazing works of art. Sophie and I were wearing our best dresses. Sophie's was a red halter top, short and tight. There are small slits in the sides of the dress. Her outfit is topped off with red pumps and a golden clutch that matches the golden clip holding her auburn hair to one side.

My dress is tight, short, and strapless. There's a silver belt that surrounds me at the waist. My stilettos are purple, like my dress, and I have a cutch of the some shade. mmy hair is curled to perfection, the purple rests on my shoulders, which is lighter than the purple of my dress.

We were enjoying the paintings, the sculptures, and every other work of art in the place. Drinks and appetizers were available at the small bar in the back. Neither of us are quite 21 yet, but that doesn't stop us. Sophie, the master at flirting, was able to make the bartender believe that we left our ID's at home and that, in fact, we were 21. About an hour into the opening and it begins to rain. The raindrops hitting the roof was like music, louder than the music already playing.

I was at the bar, sipping my wine, savoring the taste as I watches as Sophie flirts with some random guy there.

"Now which one are you staring at? The guy or the girl?" I hear a voice say.

I turns toward the voice, it was the bartender speaking. "The girl." responds, realizing how that sounds, I add, "She's my roommate. She's trying to 'show me how it's done.'" I say, adding air quotes.

"I see." He says, looking at my drink, he asks, "Wanna another glass?"

"Hmm?" I look through my clutch, finding money.

"It's on me. Don't worry." He says with a smile.

"Thank you." I slide the glass towards him.

"No problem." He says with a wink. I blush and tuck a piece of hair behind my right ear. "So you from here?" He asks.

"No. New York." I respond.

"That's a shame. I was going to ask for your number."

I'm shocked. I didnt even try and he's interested. I haven't been on a date since Beast Boy and I broke up four years ago. I dont know why we dated. We were complete opposites, why would it ever work.

"You can still ask for it though." Suddenly, Sophie puts her arm around me. "I'm sure we'll be Blüdhaven sometime in the future, and if so, Rachel here will need someone to show her around." She says.

"Well in that case, Rachel, can I have your number?" He asks, leaning on the top of the bar, looking into my eyes with his deep green eyes.

I smile. "Of course." I grab a napkin and ask for a pen. I write me number down and slide the napkin in his direction "Oh, what's your name? You never told me."

The bartender grabs the napkin and pulls his phone out. A moment later, I get a text. I take my phone out of my clutch. Jason the text reads.

"Well it was nice to meet you Jason. I'll be sure to call you if I'm ever in Blüdhaven."

"I look forward to it." He winks at me and I blush.

"Okie dokie Rae." Sophie starts walking away.

"Let's head out. There's a club about two blocks from here that I'm dying to go to." Sophie locks her arm with mine as we walk away from the bar.

"Sounds good." I say.

We're about ten feet from the entrance when a loud bang disrupts the party. Three men wearing ski masks are stabding at the door. All with guns, but one of them has his up in the air. My heart begins to race.
