And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But
I've got to get a move on with my life
Her body was following her mind's thoughts. She flew for an hour when she recognized the city, the cave, the man that was dying. It was him. The dark lord, the one with masked eyes, black cape, black hair. The girl ran towards him and kneeled at his side. He was destroyed, seriously hurt. She placed her cold thin fingers on his wounds as a blue aura flourished from them. He opened his eyes slowly; he placed a weak but big hand on her face thankfully.
"You are an angel" he said with a thin voice.
"Bruce, you need to rest… I reduced most of them, but you are really feeble." She answered back.
"You know who I am? You know I am…Raven? What are you dong here?" he said realizing it was her.
"Batman, you need to rest, seriously talking." She said firmly as he helped him to stand up. He lay on the bed of the medical wing of his mansion. Raven then cleaned the rest of the wounds with one of her potions and then covered them with bandages.
"You still didn't answer my question Raven… why are you doing here?" he asked again
"I… you kind of… called me… telepathy, you know…" she said nervously
"And where's the rest of the team?"
"I…" She stuttered but decided to tell him the truth; his eyes were pushing her to do so "I left the team… I quitted".
Batman felt her stressing so he decided they will talk about that later… he was really tired. Raven sat on a chair next to him and she fell asleep, after all, she was tired too.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The next morning she woke up and found herself sitting on a wooden chair, covered with a heavy blanket, next to an empty bed. She then remembered her trip to Gotham city… and Batman's accident… where the hell is he? Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"Hey, you finally woke up!" Batman said as he entered the room "Thanks for what you did for me last night… I would not be here if it wasn't for you, thanks." He handed her a big cup of hot herbal tea.
"You're welcome… I'm glad you're ok now"
"Raven… about you leaving the team… Robin called me last night. He said a member of his team was missing… I guess that's you. He was very worried… you should tell them you're here" the dark knight told her wisely.
"Please, don't tell him I'm here… Please! I can't return… not now… or ever!" she said with her eyes full of tears, her voice was desperate.
"Fine, if you don't want to I won't tell them, but I will tell him that you're fine, ok?"
"Ok B—"
"Call me Bruce"
"Ok, Bruce, do you think I can stay here? Just for a little while until I can go back to Azarath" she asked him timidly.
"Hmm… Robin isn't it?" he asked her back sympathetically.
She just stared at the floor blankly, a tear streamed down her cheek.
"Anyway, I—I'm leaving…" she stood up and approached the door, but Bruce grabbed her arm.
"You aren't going anywhere young lady, or else, I'm telling Richard. You will stay here as long as you wish for to and need to." He told her and then touched the tip of her noise with one of his finger which caused her to smile.
"I—I can help you around… maybe fight on your side…"
"I think it's a wonderful idea of yours Raven" he concluded smiling at her.
Several months passed by. Raven and Batman became great comrades and best friends, she became known as Moon Shadow, and left the old Raven behind, buried in her heart, as well as the titans.
Raven was combing her long purple hair. Today it was Bruce's Birthday, and he had organized a party. A very important and elegant one I should say. She was wearing a blue velvet dress, it reached her knees. Her hair fell perfectly and fitted her slim figure. Someone knocked on her door.
"Are you ready Rae?" Bruce asked
"Yeah, sure" she replied "I'm coming". Bruce was waiting for her downstairs. She went down the stairs and blushed slightly when she saw him staring at her.
"Wow, Rae, you look beautiful!" she blushed even more.
"Thanks" she said shyly.
"Um… Rae… I have a little present for you" he told her as he took a small red velvet box from his pocket and opened it. "Will you be my girl tonight Rae?" he asked her as a beautiful diamond ring was revealed.
"Bruce… you're amaz— "her lips were interrupted by his. Raven felt a rare tickle in her stomach. A new sensation invaded her body; love was flourishing again within her. She kissed him back. They finally broke away from the kiss for some air. They hugged and kissed again when suddenly the door flung open. Five people were staring surprised, not believing what they were seeing.
