Chapter 9. Big Sister

"Ngghh… Where am I?" asked Raven as her eyes flickered opened. She gazed at the ceiling and found it a slight different color then the one in her room. She slowly sat up and grabbed her stomach with her hand. It hurt allot! The reasons were unknown to her. She quickly dropped dead on her back once feeling too much pain.

"Ok Raven, you can do this!" she yelled in her mind. That moment she tried to levitate her way up but it was to no avail. Her powers, didn't show a sign of existence.

"Oh great, now what's wrong? I didn't watch ANY FUCKING HORROR MOVIES!" she yelled at the empty air in the room. She closed her eyes once again and sighed. The strange sound of a poof filled her ears and she opened her eyes again to find the source.

She scanned the bright red room and found a little girl about 3 feet standing in the middle, with a big grin on her face. Raven ignored the pain and tried to speak.

"Who are you?" she tried to ask nicely, but squweented in a painful tone. Karai giggled and ran up to the bed like a bullet.

"My name is Karai!" she exclaimed in an excited and cheerful voice. "And you are my big sister now!"

Raven looked at the little girl strangely and puzzled. The fact of being in an unknown place and how you got there was strange, but being a sister to a person you never met is constantly weird.

"Big sister?" asked Raven confused. Karai nodded and teleported on the bed. Sitting on her knees by Raven, Karai scanned the empathy carefully.

"Wait a second, you're the one who brought me here!" exclaimed Raven. Karai suddenly jumped away and smiled.

"Yes, I have big sister. Don't you like it here?" she replied. Raven scanned the hotel room and tried sitting up again. More pain blew through her body as she attempted to sit up, but she didn't give up. Karai looked at Ravens painful face and lost expression.

"Does it hurt?" asked Karai concerned. Raven finally sat up and nodded in reply. Karai slowly crawled over to Raven and looked at her pale face.

"You're beautiful," whispered Karai, loud enough for Raven to hear. Suddenly Raven shrugged and blushed from the comment.

"Thank" she replied softly. From the look on Ravens face Karai understood the pain she caused her earlier. She really didn't want to drain her of her powers, but she had to.

"You know I can fix your stomach big sister" said Karai giving Raven a warm smile. Raven looked completely blank.

"How?" she retorted asking. Karai moved closer and placed her hands over Ravens stomach.

"You know, you should really close your eyes to relax" muttered Karai. Raven didn't believe her but she complied any way. She gently laid back and closed her eyes. Breathing heavily she tried to relax.

Karai placed her hands over Ravens stomach and light white energy waves started to descend from Ravens stomach in to Karai's hands. The energy kept rising until one moment it stopped and vanished. Raven slowly opened her eyes in disbelief and smiled. She quickly sat up and looked at Karai.

"I-It does not hurt" she muttered weakly sitting up. Karai grinned wider and blushed.

"I told you" panted Karai happily. Raven gave her a warm smile. Karai's face turned redder by the second as Raven continued to look at her. That moment, the room door shot opened. Raven jerked her head to the source in the door way. Shock raced through her systems as she laid her eyes upon the figure she fought. She quickly raced to her feet and pushed Karai behind her for protection.

"Karai, stay behind me" she said gaining combat stance. Karai giggled and took of for Gar in the door way.

"Big brother you were right!" she exclaimed charging at him, after she ran up to him she stopped and gazed in to his eyes. After a moment she lost expression and stood straight as a soldier.

"Did you drain her?" asked Gar looking at the puzzled empath. Karai nodded and smiled.

"Good…now, I don't want to see you with her until things are resolved" he gave an order and stood up straight.

"Big brother, but why?" she asked confused. Gar gave her a death glare telling her to get out of the room. Karai looked at his face and quickly teleported out of the place. Gar looked at Raven and chuckled.

"Welcome" he muttered and closed the door behind him. Ravens eyes shot open and she quickly ran to the door, slamming her fist with full force she tried knocking it down, but it didn't work.

"Hey let me out of here!" she yelled furiously hitting the door with her wrist. "Hey, you hear me…let me go!" she yelled. After realizing and giving up, she sat down by the door and brought her knees to her chest. The position she was sitting in brought her memories from long ago. They were painful memories at state, but she couldn't push them back. Loosing Beast Boy was the hardest experience to ever be faced in her life. She sighed stressfully and buried her face in to her knees, with crystal tears slowly forming in her eyes. "Oh Beast Boy, I miss you so much" she said through small sobs. "I just wish you could come back to me"

Gar was sitting by the door and listening to what she was saying. Her words shocked him completely. He didn't know what to do. IT was all just too much to take in. He slowly changed his pose in which one Raven was sitting, and listened to her steady breathing through the door. "Raven, I will come back to you, and we'll be together for ever…I promise" he said gently tracing the warmth of Ravens body from the other side. That moment he quickly rose to his feet and descended in to the kitchen.

"Big brother, why are you acting so strangely?" asked Karai as she climbed a tall chair and sat down, looking at him. Gar sighed and grabbed a glass from the kitchen table.

"I don't know" he replied as he turned the fossit and pored some drinking water in to the crystal glass.

"I think he's acting this way because of my big sister! Yes…that's why!" exclaimed Karais mind. Karai suddenly giggled in delight and started kicking her feet again.

"Big brother…it's about big sister huh?" she asked with a grin. That moment the drinking glass in Gars hands shattered and fell on the floor. Gar gasped and quickly jumped away.

"Damn!" he exclaimed looking at his bloody hand. Karai quickly jumped of the chair and ran up to him.

"Big brother are you ok?" she asked with a horrified look on her face. Gar grinned and bent over to pick up the broken glass. Every shard he collected, reminded him of the emotions he collected for Raven in the past. Every shard meant something, a new emotion at state. It was painful, and it still was the way the edge of the glass cut.

"I'm alright…" he said sternly and dropped the broken shards in the garbage. Karai vigorously hugged him by the leg.

"Big brother…I'm afraid of your actions…" she said in to the fabric of his pants. Gar pulled her away and gave her puzzled look. Sight of fear dripped from his gaze at her, and he tried to make an okay expression, but failed to do so.

"What do you mean?" he asked her worriedly. Karai shrugged.

"Big brother…I think that your actions for revenge are just too much. So what if Robin kicked you of the team, there is no point in taking vengeance for that" she muttered softly. Gar took her in his hands and hugged her lovingly.

"Karai…what you say is true, but, when that happened, its like…well…when I leave to work how do you feel?" he asked her in a proving fact. Karai became puzzled.

"Sad, depressed and lonely…" she replied weakly. Gar chuckled.

"That's the way I feel, but for me it was worse," he said frankly. Karai grinned.

"Alright big brother, I understand…" she said and pulled away. Gar stood up and went in to his room, closing the door tight behind him. Karai followed him and stopped waiting for him to come out.

"Big brother…" she exclaimed to get his attention.

"Yah?" came Gars voice from behind the door. Karai gave her self thumbs up.

"Can I help you with your tasks?" she asked, hoping for him to agree.

"Maybe later Karai, Robin is no fool, he will call reinforcements when he is over powered, and when he does, that is when you'll be helping me!" he yelled from behind the door. That moment the door of the room opened, and Gar stepped out, in previous uniform. Karai giggled and stormed of in to the kitchen.

"Big brother, you think your girl friend is hungry!" she asked from the kitchen. Gar tightened his belt, blushing like crazy.

"Uhh…I think she is," he muttered under his breath and walked in to the kitchen. "Make her something to eat…I'm going on a hunt," he added and pulled the scarf over his face. Karai took out some pots and dishes, grinning at him she winked and continued doing her started tasks. Gar descended in to the living room that time; afterwards he picked up the bow staff of the sofa and placed it in his belt.

"Karai…you might be right, but I still got to do this…for me…for Raven…for the both of us…" he thought and leapt out of an opened window. That moment the darkness of the night consumed his image and he was gone.

15 Minutes Later

"Big sister… are you awake?" asked Karai as she gently knocked on the door of Ravens hotel room. There was nothing but mere silence creeping all over. Karai gulped loudly and shook of the feeling of fear.

"Big sister I'm coming in…" she muttered and walked through the door, with a silver platter that had random cooked foods on it. Karai slowly and cautiously approached the bed, trying not to make any noise. As soon as she saw Ravens sleeping face, she approached the table and quietly placed the platter on the table. A moment passed and Karai crawled on to Ravens bed, looking at the empath with awe.

"Big brother was right…you are beautiful…" she whispered lightly and scoot up a bit closer. That moment Ravens one eye opened and she looked at Karai, not moving a muscle. With Ravens face half buried in to the pillow, it was hard for Karai to notice. Karai gently lied down by Raven and placed Ravens arm over her self, for more of family comfort. Raven noticed such action and embraced Karai closer to her self, feeling the girls warmth. Karai just gave in, not wanting to know anything else except that her little family pact of Gar and her has just received a new member. Raven smiled lightly looking at Karai, and feeling the girls presence was the best moment she ever experienced after Gars departure.

"Beast Boy, you are closer then I realize…" she whispered and closed her eyes, falling in to deep slumber, with another being in her hands.
