Now on with the story….

Chapter 3.

Deal or no Deal?

"Who the hell…"

"Don't worry. I am not here to hurt you….yet." And with that a man steps out of the shadows. He is tall with a muscular build. He is in a body suit of some kind and has an orange and black mask. "I have come to offer you an apprenticeship. I will make you the best"

"Haven't you heard? I am already the best soldier. How could you possible make me better?" I implore

'You have no idea who I am, do you? I am the best. Simply that. No one can truly defeat me." He gloated

"You haven't fought me yet have you? I don't need you. I am on my own journey and if you interfere I will kill you." I finished.

"Think what you will. But remember my offer. If you refuse again, I will kill you" And he disappeared.

I started again towards Jump City again. I must meet her. She has entered my brain and I must know who she is.

"Hey Raven! What is the matter? Come on out and talk." BB Shouted

"I am busy. Leave ma alone" I yells back

I am still preparing for him. I still am unsure about him. What is he going to do? How is he supposed to change things? Will I be ready? Will I know him? All these questions are shooting through my brain. I guess it is time to consult my emotions.

"Hello Rea-Rea! Long time no sees!" screamed Happy

"Welcome Raven. What brings you here?" Asked Wisdom

"She can't help herself. She is stupid." Sneered rude.

"Shut up, all of you. What is with these visions of mine? Who is this guy?" I asked

"Look inside yourself and you will find the answers." Wisdom riddled.

I am tired of riddles! Tell me or I will get angry." I answered

"Look, if we knew, you would know." Knowledge stated, "Truth is we don't know".

"Then what the hell use are you!" I yelled.

"To help keep you in check, remember." Knowledge said.

"Whatever, see you later."

"BYE-BYE REA-REA!" Happy yelled

"Bye"

"Friend Raven, come out and speak with us. We are worried about you." Star implored

"Fine! I'll get out. But I don't want to talk about it." I said.

I go to the roof to meditate. I need to process all the information. The answer is inside of me. What could that mean?

"Are you the one…..who called me? Why are you searching for me?" a voice said.

"Who are you?" I ask

"I am SGT Faust, a soldier. I was called to this place. Who are you?"

"I am Raven of the Teen Titans. I don't know. You and I are some how linked." I answered

"Hey raven what are you doing….up…..here?" BB asked as he bust out onto the roof, "who are you?"
