I do not own anything of Teen Titans, just my OC and plot revolving around the world created by DC.
Chapter 3: One Last Day
Big thanks to Darkest Nightmare's Dread for reviewing!
I am attempting to do a lot of things with this story, there are so many different ideas I have going on in my head.
After I post the chapter of Raven meeting her sister, I will post the cover that I drew. It is a work in progress but it will evolve along with this story.
Let me know how you like it, or even if you hate it. All things, good and bad, better me as a writer.
(One last kiss, before I go; dry your tears it is time to let you go. One last kiss...Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever; because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever...
For whatever reason, this song popped into my head as I wrote the title for this chapter, Forever by Papa Roach)
Raven had decided to barricade herself in her room for the safety of the others. She would not be able to handle if she hurt one of them while she was listening to this voice in her head. Without meditation her powers were running amuck within her. She's "slightly" more irritable, and her emotions are not so easily hidden. Normally about this time, Raven would be out in the living room listening to the annoying thoughts of her friends, reading some kind of novel, watching Beast Boy (a short, spiky haired, green boy with an annoyingly high voice) and Cyborg (a half man, half robot boy) play annoyingly loud video games, or meditating in the sunlight coming through the window. She missed those things, though she couldn't even imagine for that to be possible, but she know she couldn't be around them today; at least not until tonight at 3am when she could finally meditate, all would be as it should.
[You worry way too much, sister. You are stronger than you think. Nothing will happen to them even if you had not barricaded yourself within your place of dwelling. But tell me, why is it that you care for these 'humans' and alien so much?]
{'They are my friends. They took me in and accepted me even if they don't understand me, and I know that it's not just because of the powers that I possess. They treat me as their equal instead of the 'weird goth chick' that most of the other humans think when they see me. They are good people. I would be willing to die for any one of them and I know the same could be said if they were asked.}
[I did not know you longed for such acceptance, silly since I am able to feel your emotions. Why is it that you need acceptance from the people around you? You are unhappy?]
{I used to be. I had no family except father. People, children mostly, made fun of the way I dressed, the way I looked, how I acted. I hated these humans. They were judgmental and hurtful. They didn't see a child, raised in a different environment, and gifted with powers. They saw a child that was different, not "normal", or what they considered as such. The thoughts that I heard hurt. It was hard for me to keep my powers in check as it was, since I was so young, but then I had to hear such hurtful things and it would cause me to spiral into madness with uncontrollable power. Yes I was miserable before the Titans.}
[I remember now… the time you speak of. I wanted to be there for you. To hold you close and tell you that everything was going to be alright. It wasn't until you found the Titans that I was eased, knowing that you had found a glint of happiness, and you were no longer threatened with the power that was flowing through your core. Never fear, sister. I will be with you soon enough.]
Raven felt so overwhelmed with love and she was suddenly lifted into the air by her powers.
[I have always been with you but now, physically. My love for my little sister has never and will never falter. Our bond will only grow from this. This is our destiny.]
"Thank you." Raven said almost in tears. This was the first time in her entire life that she felt like there was nothing in the world that could possibly make her unhappy. This was the first time she ever felt complete and unwavering love. Though she could not see her sister, she knew that she was smiling at her. Raven's heart felt elated. She couldn't bring herself out of the air even if she wanted to, this emotion was too strong for even her to control.
'So this is the power of the love of family…'
