This is Gonna Be A Long Road
After a couple of hours of crying on the roof and looking into an unknown future the young brunette mage remained unmoving, mimicking a corpse that has been resting for many centuries. Her mind was assaulted by even more visions. Visions of a possible end and a new beginning. She knew not how these visions came to her but she always knew deep in her heart that she was slightly attracted to the auburn alien woman. The sight of her beautiful golden skin that seemed softer than a newborn's own. The Long wavy sea of red that cascaded down the perfectly sculpted body with wonderful large round breast and whose rear was perfectly round. Despite all this physical beauty, the beauty of Kory's personality made the lonely woman just blush at the slightest smiles she's seen. The warm and sunny expression she worn during times of joy and the cold hard determination she made whenever her friends were in danger. Just the memory of those soft sweet lips made her weak at the knees and made her have butterflies in her stomach. No matter how much she should be hating the woman now she could not bring herself to do so. This is why she preferred to be alone and kept her emotions in check.
Finally rising from her prison of confusion, though not entirely, the young woman gave one last gaze at the night sky and ventured into the Titans Tower. As she walked she could feel the various emotions coming from each room as she passed by. From Gar's room, she could feel cheeriness and joy coming from the self-proclaimed jokester. Moving on she could feel the constant humming of machine emanating from Victor's room. She could feel the hidden fear of being despised by others beneath the cover of joy and happiness as well but she continued on not willing to further explore the hidden pain. Her feet then took her to Roy's room where the mage caught the wave of darkness coming from the heavy use of drugs and alcohol. The man seemed alright on the surface but like Victor she could feel the presence of a dark passenger everyone walked with. Further into her walk she found the rest of the rooms empty due to possibility of being out of their rooms or being off the island. This place was huge but held a lot of dark secrets many brought with them from their past.
Nearing the main hall, she stumbled upon Dick's room and found the presence of another whom she knew off for no one on earth had a fire nor brightness emitting brighter than ten suns. Raven sighed in content as she enjoyed in basking in the heat from this emotional sun. She felt joy, warmth, happiness, care, and something so foreign to her she never stopped to think about it. She felt…peace. The empathy leaned against the wall with her left shoulder but something broke her from her reverie. She felt the sudden jolt uncertainty and a little of anger coming from within. She could sense a silent tension growing between the two lovers but they seemed lost in how to remedy it. Love was there but this uncertainty caused great friction that it led her to have a sudden headache due to a premonition of the two splitting in a heated argument. In the vision Kory greeted Dick with a kiss, who kissed back, but had told the alien woman they had to talk. From the looks of it they were in a tropical area under the night sky with Kory in a white bikini and Dick in red shorts. She could not hear what they were saying but from what she saw it began quiet but soon escalated into heated arguing resulting with Kory in tears as Dick walked away. Another vision hit her with the two in passionate sex. She could not understand why but the scenery showed of an alley in an unknown city. The two made load moans and lewd grunts as Dick thrusted himself into the alien. The vision changed once more and the two were alone. She could hear Kory asking Dick if he still loved her. He shook his head no and replied that their false flicker of reignited love was nothing but lust. Kory nodded and replied to him by saying that their love must have always been lust then. Just as the visions started they finished with quickly leaving Raven out of breath.
"Hey pretty birdie! How are you today?" Kara inquired while reading a book and drinking hot chocolate. The blonde wore blue skinny jeans with a black top and white shoes. It was silent between the two and the young kryptonian was slightly getting agitated but soon her reply came. "If you must know I have a terrible headache not because of any alcohol but caused by my powers. Happy now?" "Very" Kara said returning her full attention to the book in front of her while Raven sat on the chair next to the blonde. The mage rested her head on the table in hopes that the cool wood would bring some comfort to her aching head. "A penny for your thoughts little birdie?" Kara gave a sideways glance towards the mystic. "I can have premonitions, visions of the future in a way, and they are formed by the emotions of people. I can already feel a friction building in their relationship." Came a muffle as a reply from the mage. Unknown to them, the orange skin red head walked into the kitchen wearing a purple crop top and blue booty shorts. The tight shirt hugged her muscled upper body and the shorts hugged her ass and hips firmly. She gave her usual greetings to her friends by a quick kiss on the cheek but when she came to Raven, the two stared daggers at each other with neither letting down nor willing to avert their eyes away from each either until the other gave up. "I see your still here." Kory quipped at her enemy. "Yes. I. Still. Am." Raven clipped sharply with venom dripping from each word. Indigo locked with emerald. Celestial flame did battle with supernatural fire. The air around them froze leaving the other inhabitants in the kitchen waiting for what was about to happen. The orange goddess walked up to the silent specter staring her down with all her hate making the other at the ready should any attack be initiated, though what happened next, the pale sorceress was not expecting it. Nor was anything else. Kory pinned Raven to the table and claimed the silent one's lips. Kory's large breast pressed against Raven's slightly smaller one's as she tried to push back the very much stronger woman. The sorceress arms were pinned down by one big hand as the other pressed on Raven's hips. The hand traced up as the kiss deepened becoming sloppier before it stopped to caress a soft cheek. After some time from the unsuspecting assault the orange princess pulled back to lick her lips with a big grin on her face leaving a flustered and heavily panting quiet pale brunette. The grin became wider from the sight before her. "Your lips still taste horrible but seeing you like this…just leaves a triumphant feeling in my heart." Koriand'r winked as she left to make herself a late night snack. Raven, finally catching her breath, glared at the alien woman in a sight of red as she launched herself at the woman with a cocked fist ready to strike down but changed to hold the woman by the back of the head pulling the tall woman down for a heated kiss. The sorceress hopped and wrapped her legs around the orange female's waste as the goddess held Raven closely by having her hands placed on said woman's rear.
The two were stuck in the kiss and free hands wandered around searching for skin to touch and feel. The two broke apart but their faces were only centimeters away from each other. They looked into one another's eyes before they rested their foreheads against the other. "I can get used to this Rae." Kory kissed Raven's lips briefly who agreed by kissing back. The sorceress broke the kiss and extended her leg down to get down only to be denied by the other keeping the leg wrapped around the waist. "No. Stay wrapped around me." The princess whispered into the mage's ear who shivered by the warm breath. She nipped at the pale woman's ear and carried her to the living room were they took residence next to a shocked geomancer. "Wait! What about Dick? You're supposed to-""shhh. I will talk to you more in private but for now… I just want to know a little more about you." Kory chuckled as she stared into blue shy eyes. The mage blushed, which made the taller woman laugh a bit more, but her uncertainty made her question why the woman was doing this. The warrior princess replied by saying she was interested in knowing more about the lonely woman's likes, dislikes, and getting a better idea of the mage. After a while Raven started sharing more about herself such as a brief history, not very much in depth, and giving the princess the likes and dislikes. She told the princess some stories of her past such as when she was growing up or just healing others in the E.R. The other females asked if they could join the conversation before Raven gave them the go ahead to sit next to them. Kory kept Raven in a firm but comfortable hold as she listened with all her heart to the mage's stories. When asked about her hostility towards the empathy when she first arrived in the tower the auburn woman apologized because she had told them it was for Raven's ear's only. Donna snapped her fingers of not having any gossip to talk about but the girls settled on having gossip talks on the issue between Kory and Raven. The orange and pale women rolled their eyes as the others in the group started making up ideas as to why Kory was like that in the first place.
Soon after, Kory and Raven were walking down the beach with Kory's hands behind her back and Raven had her arms folded across her chest. "So you wanna tell why you attacked me Kory?" the empathy asked. It was quiet between the two for a brief moment but then Kory gave her answer. "I attacked you because I had a dream some time ago and so did Dick. In my dream I dreamt that you stole Dick from me and you and he both got married. I was left on the side lines while you two had a very wonderful life but…when I kissed you…I must apologize for saying you have horrible tasting lips but… your lips taste like the sweetest of honey and they're so soft I could just keep kissing them till the end of time." Kory paused to look at the empath who she stood very close to with an arm around Raven's waist and a hand caressing a cheek while looking into indigo eyes. "Then I had another dream. The one I had before waking up. Well two actually." She continued. "My first dream I had was that Dick and I had a beautiful child. Hair black as the night sky. Skin as orange and tanned like my own. Eyes of the brightest of emeralds but held a cold hard steel like her fathers. It made me happy to have this dream but…somehow my heart knew this would not be." Raven had an arched eyebrow as she wondered what Kory was going to say next. Her heart was pounding as she felt the nervousness and anxiety of what would be the princess's next choice of words. Her own eye's held fear, hope, sadness, joy, but most of all uncertainty. The tall woman gave a butterfly kiss to ease the empath's nerves if just a little as she looked into the storm of emotions in the eyes belonging to a gentle soul. "I dreamed that we were under a tree with you resting your head upon my breast as you caressed my belly as it bore our unborn child. I will never forget the haunting joyous laugh as you told me that you were excited about me caring the baby since you carried our first two." With that, Raven broke down in tears as she found out that this woman whom she barely knew but her heart yearned for had the same dream as she did. Kory kissed Raven's eyes in hopes of stopping the flow of tears. The empath shook her head as she told the taller woman that the tears she shed were not of sorrow nor hate but of complete joy and happiness something she would later tell her friend was a rare thing for it to happen. Kory nodded in understanding and kept the smaller woman close to her heart. "For now I wish to start off slow. I am still with Dick but I do not think it would be much longer as the rift between us is getting much larger now. He is always away in Gotham. Seems to have a growing hate towards extraterrestrial beings and always seems to be more focused on his work than me. It's hurting my heart Raven. Please believe me when I say I am not using you as Rebound as they say but I would love for you and I to get to know each other so that I may live the dream I want." The princess pleaded to her new friend. "Know this Kory. My emotions are held under lock and key and are not to be messed with. I know you will never mistreat me because I can sense that you are the kind of person that likes to spoil those close to your heart but…I will wait for you princess Koriand'r of Tamaran. I will wait for however long this life gives me and I will keep waiting for you in the next life." Raven promised with a kiss. Kory deepened the kiss as tears ran down her face before breaking it once more. "I thank you Raven, though I promise not to keep you waiting for that long. Why not we have our friendship like Zena and Gabrielle hmm?" Kory suggested. Raven cracked up at Kory's suggestion but liked the idea. "You mean like how they say that they're just friends when everyone else thinks they're lovers? That could work but you're already with a man so…yeah probably not gonna happen." Raven said while trying to stifle her laugh. "Indeed I do have a man for now but later on I will make it work." Kory said with determination in her voice. Raven stopped laughing and told the orange woman she will hold her up to it with a firm expression.
The two walked back into the tower after a walk in the beach under a blue moon. The two had been outside for a long while enjoying simple small talk and each other's company. When they walked back in they noticed everyone else had gone off to bed. The two night owls had forgotten that Dick was still in bed when Kory left to make herself a snack and never returned oops. "So…friends" the empathy asked. "For now." Kory said before bidding farewell to the sorceress. When the princess left Raven's pager was going off alerting her that she had to go back to work due to an emergency. She disappeared in a puff of smoke giving the illusion no one had been there. When the mage appeared in NYU hospital E.R. room she noticed many of the stuff running around trying to tend to many people who were bleeding from unnatural wounds caused by what looked to be claw marks. "What the hell happened?" she whispered looking all around her to notice she was standing in a pool of blood. This was going to be a long road ahead of her but she would make the best of it.
