TaintedFlare: HAHAHAHA! POOR Raven didn't even know what was happening...
She's so oblivious sometimes *sigh* haha
Concolor44: Jinx? Um ... hey, look, you might try something a little less DAMAGING to get Raven's attention. Permanent scarring isn't really the best way to a girl's heart. Capiche?
haha! Yeah, Raven won't be too pleased xD
Disclaimer: As I told you on the first chapter, and the second chapter, I don't own teen titans. I do have the seasons on DVD though xD Titans GO!
Raven winced as Cyborg bandaged her leg up tight with the white bandage. "Why don't you go into your healing trance?"
"It's not something I can control." She frowned. "It only happens when my body's taken extreme damage." She pointed to her leg. "This is not extreme damage."
"I dunno Rae, you have seven stitches. How 'bout your healing energy?"
"Again, it doesn't work on me. You'll be able to take the stitches out tomorrow night, probably."
"Just keep your weight off it." He shrugged, looking at his handy work. "Stay here. I gotta comb through your hair for glass, but I need help."
As soon as the door had closed, leaving her on her own, she opened her hand, revealing the tiny little strip of crumpled paper. She glared at it suspiciously as she opened it up, reading the spidery handwriting.
"A phone number?" She asked out loud in disbelief. "What the hell did she give me a phone number for?"
"Rae?" Cyborg frowned, coming back into the room with Starfire, "Who you talkin' too?"
"No one." She muttered, screwing the paper back up in her palm and trying not to look guilty. Of course, Raven was a pro with poker faces.
"I see your leg is bandaged. You shall be well again in no time." Starfire smiled at her friend. "Cyborg has asked me to help with the removing of the glass from your hair."
"Just let us know if you feel anything in your scalp. With your healing time, we want to get it out quick, or we'll be cutting it out." Cyborg added as he passed Starfire a fine-toothed comb. "Star, you do the left. We'll meet in the middle."
Raven's mood darkened impressively, to say she was all ready pissed off. She hated people touching her, and she hated people playing with her hair. The only time she had ever let anyone mess with her hair was when her and Starfire had the 'girl bonding sessions' that had stayed fairly regular after the Puppet Master disaster.
Instead of brooding over how much she wanted to rip off Cyborg and Starfire's fingers, she turned her mind back onto the slip of paper still hidden in her hand, and trying to figure out exactly what Jinx had been trying to do back at the jewellery store. Raven didn't understand why Jinx had kissed her, and what the hell was with the phone number. Did she really expect Raven to get in touch with a villain they'd been fighting for years? For a moment, the idea of tracing Jinx through the number on the crime scanner looked inviting, until she realised it was probably a fake number or one of those cheap disposable mobile phones. Or a stolen one. Something that could be thrown out.
Or maybe it was a trap. They could be waiting for the Titans to try and find them through the number, only to come under attack from the entire Hive academy. So then what was with the kiss? She hadn't thought Jinx would swing that way, and now that she thought about it, it hadn't exactly been unpleasant...
The bottle of disinfectant Cyborg had been using on the Empath's wounds not too long ago exploded as Raven tore her thoughts back onto something else; anything else.
Cyborg jumped, before chuckling. "That your way of telling me I found some glass?"
Raven blushed, glad she was facing away from her two friends. "No. Sorry. It's just the whole..." She rushed to come up with some plausible excuse for her loss of control. "I was in a bad enough mood anyway, and you know how much I don't like to be touched."
"Touched by them." A voice giggled in her head, and it was an effort for Raven not to answer the emotion out loud.
"Um hum, just try not to destroy the medical equipment. It's expensive."
"Sorry." She muttered again, wishing she had some privacy to she could tell her emotions to shut the hell up.
"I know exactly what you want to say. I am in your head after all."
"I need to meditate." She groaned unhappily. "How much longer do I have to sit here?"
Just a short chapter but I'm bored, and trying to avoid revision. Poor Rae; first Jinx confuses the hell out of her, and then she has rampant emotions running round her head. I bet you can guess which one's decided to come play ;) Just in case someone got lost along the way, remember the episode Nevermore, season 1, where Raven has all those emotions inside her head? Well in my story, when Raven's powers go out of control due to stress or whatever, it's usually got something to do with the fact that one or more of her emotions other than Knowledge and Wisdom are talking to her. Only Raven can hear voices and not be crazy.
Annyywayyy please review. Tell me what you think. Can I improve? Of course I can, so how about you give me some tips on how.
