Chapter 10
Last chapter Raven was being questioned by Martian Manhunter. Well first Batman; but I honestly put him in so Raven and him would have some interaction…but I digress. I love your reviews. Soo much. I can feel the love! Haha and considering the night I had last night I could really use some cheering up. So thank you to everyone who reviews my stories. n_n and I'm sure Klarion wouldn't like how the Light is talking either if he knew. Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
Zatana sat in her room, not sure what she was going to do. She had seen Raven and—though it probably didn't come to much of a big surprise—Raven, still wanted to kill her. Zatana didn't know what to do. She hugged her pillow.
"This is all Klarion's fault." She muttered, "If it wasn't for him I'd still have my father, and I'd still have Raven."
Zatana then laid down on her bed, and stared up at the ceiling. She sighed.
"By now she's probably already in Arkhem. Oh God, how am I supposed to help her if she's there?" she asked herself, she then sat up, "Maybe if I help her escape the league—no that's just stupid."
She then sat up and in her frustration threw her pillow at the door, which happened to open at that time to reveal Nightwing who moved to dodge the flying pillow.
"Woah, remind me to knock next time." He said, Zatana narrowed her eyes at him.
"How can you be so calm right now?" she asked, Nightwing shrugged.
"Why are you so worried, Raven's here. Safe and out of trouble." He said, Zatana huffed.
"Yeah, but the Justice League could be doing anything to her right now. And if the Light knows she's here; the moment she sets foot in Arkhem I know they'll kill her." She said, Nightwing walked over and sat down next to her.
"Relax, try to stay whelmed ok? The Justice League isn't doing anything to her, she's fine; and I'm sure they've already thought of that and are making a plan to keep her out of the light's reach." He said.
"And Klarion?" Zatana asked.
"Don't worry; with Dr. Fate around I doubt he'll show up. Besides he can't even get into—" Nightwing was interrupted by the sound of an alarm.
'Warning; Unauthorized entrance in the Watch Tower, Cell 2-B.' the alarm system said. Zatana and Nightwing looked at each other with concern. Cell 2-B was where Raven was held.

Raven found herself in a world of darkness, nothing but black. Raven groaned, she felt groggy and heavy.
'What did that alien do to me? I can't move.' she thought, she meant for it to come out in a loud shout, however it was more of a tried groan. 'Am I even still in that stupid cell? Or am I in Arkhem now or would that be Belle Reve?'
Suddenly Raven heard a loud crash and Raven's thoughts jumped to the sound, since she couldn't move or see anything it didn't do much good to try and see what was going on.
'Well this is just great, now if something serious is happening I'm screwed!' she growled, soon however she felt a presence near her.
'Oh crap. Am I gonna die here?' she thought, she tried to move however her body just refused to make the effort. Just then she felt arms around her and she was being lifted up. 'Ok, confused now.'
'Raven?' A voice said, though it was low, and very hard to hear. 'Raven, wake up.'
'Who is that? It sounds so familiar." Raven thought, she then felt a familiar pair of lips against hers. Raven instantly awoke, and found herself in Klarion's arms.
"Klarion!" Raven shouted happily, hugging Klarion. He smiled as the two embraced, he then let Raven down so she could stand. "I just knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
"Of course not." He said, then looked to the large glass window as Super-boy, Kid-flash, and Lagaan ran to them Klarion frowned then shattered the glass sending the shards for the Team members. Kid-flash managed to dodge the shards and ran up behind the two, tapping Raven on the shoulder. She turned.
"Yaknow you make it really hard to help out a friend." He said, Raven let out a hiss.
"Bite me speedy." She growled, Flash shrugged, then grabbed Raven and sped off. Klarion let out a growl.
"NO! You can't have her! Raven is mine!" he shouted fly off toward Kidflash.
"Hey let me go creep!" Raven hissed, struggling to get free of Kidflash, who was running as fast as he could to get away from Klarion who wasn't far behind.
"Yaknow I wouldn't struggle if I were you, I'm running faster than a standard vehicle if you fall now you'll get more than a few broken bones." He said, Raven glared eyes turning red.
"Then stop!" she shouted suddenly Kidflash tripped, sending Raven flying through the air. Raven let out a scream as she landed in Klarion's arms. Klarion smirked, and looked down at her as she let out a nervous laugh.
"Should I mention that I don't like being tossed around like a ragdoll?" she mumbled, Klarion shrugged, as Raven stood.
"You people are gonna pay for taking Raven away from me!" Klarion shouted, glaring at the three heroes. Lagaan ran at the two, inflating himself so that he could be a match for the couple.
"He's like a blowfish." Raven said sort of automatically. Klarion turned to her.
"You go find your cat; I'll take care of these, then we're outta here." He said, Raven nodded, then ran off to find Cherie.
"You're not going anywhere Witch-girl!" Lagaan shouted, then using his hydrokinesis broke one of the waterlines in the building and blocking the exit with a wall of water. Klarion growled.
"Beat it fish-boy!" he shouted throwing several fireballs in Lagaan's direction, they landed in a circle around him. Raven then ran off, to find Cherie, leaving Klarion to fight Super-boy, KidFlash, and Lagoon boy. Super-boy ran towards Klarion who flicked his wrist sending Super-boy flying backwards. Kidflash ran to help Lagaan who was stuck inside the flames.
"This is what you get for takin' Raven from me!" Klarion shouted as his hands began to glow and giant claw-like forms of energy generated around them. He then used them to grab Kidflash and Lagaan and pinning them to the ground.
~0~
"Now where could they have put Cherie?" Raven mumbled doing her best to sneak around. No doubt everyone would be heading toward Klarion, thus giving Raven time to find Cherie and get back to him.
"Cherie?" She shouted in a whisper, just because no one was around didn't mean no one was nearby. Raven walked around the corner and smacked into someone. Raven looked up to see a girl with red hair, Raven Jumped back ready in case the girl was there to apprehend her. The girl had red hair and what looked like to be a female version of Batman's outfit. The palm of Raven's hands began to glow with black fire.
"Who are you? Bat-brat?" She asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Try Batgirl, and I'm going to guess you're Raven. Zatana's friend." Batgirl said, putting her hands up ready to fight. The fire in Raven's hands subsided, and she balled her hands into a fist.
"She's not my friend!" She shouted, pulling her fist back and slugged Batgirl right in the face, sending her stumbling backward. Batgirl looked to Raven who's eyes were now glowing red.
"Look like I won't need magic to get rid of you, Bat-brat." She said with a slight smirk. Just then she heard a faint meowing sound. Raven turned to a door marked DO NOT OPEN.
"Cherie? You back there?" she asked, then heard a hiss. "Yep that's you."
"Alright Bat-brat I'm gonna let you off easy; since I need to get my cat." Raven then said, then used a spell to break open the door, where she found Cherie locked in a kennel.
"Hey next time why don't ya just set the place on fire, you'll be able to kill me in one blow!" Cherie hissed. Raven smiled.
"Good to see you too Cherie." She said, then unlocked the kennel so Cherie could jump out and onto her shoulders. Raven then turned to Batgirl, who was wide eyed.
"Well Bat-brat it's been fun; but my baby's facing three super sidekicks just so I can spring Cherie," Cherie hissed, "Cherie Curie, my bad. I'll be seein ya."
And with that Raven turned and ran back towards Klarion and his enemies. Batgirl ran after her.
"Get back here!" She shouted, Raven looked over her shoulder.
"Seriously? You're using that line? Sure let me just give myself up a second time!" She shouted back with a bit of a laugh. Cherie growled.
"Oh yeah I could just do that." Raven said, then snapped her fingers as a portal appeared in front of her, she then stopped, looking back at Batgirl.
"You be sure to tell Zatana that next time I show up I'm comin for her." She said then she and Cherie hopped through.
"This can't be good." Batgirl said, then went running to catch Raven.

"Man this is on angry witch-boy." Lagaan said, the trio was still fighting Klarion, who was growing angrier by the minute.
"Yeah well wouldn't you if the Justice League kidnapped your girlfriend?" Kidflash asked, doing his best to keep out of Klarion's reach.
"Girlfriend or not; it's time we end this." Super-boy shouted grabbing the closest thing he could find which so happened to be the table that was bolted down to the cell that Raven once occupied. He then threw it in Klarion's direction. When he went to block Klarion found Super-boy wasn't aiming for him.
"Teekl!" Klarion shouted when he realized just who(or what) Super-boy was aiming for. However just before the table landed on the small cat a much larger saber toothed black and white cat jumped in front of him. Teekl meowed, Cherie growled back.
"Oh some on! Enough talk already Cherie!" Raven shouted, walking up behind Klarion and the others. Klarion smirked. "Hey baby, I found Cherie."
"Oh great; now we have to deal with both of them." Super-boy growled, Raven narrowed her eyes at them, and readied herself to send Cherie to attack when Klarion put his hand on her shoulder.
"We'll deal with them later, right now I'm getting you out of here." He said, Raven opened her mouth to speak but said nothing.
"Let's go Cherie." She said instead, Cherie hissed at the three heroes then turned back into his smaller cat form and jumped into Raven's arms.
"See you later armadillo's unless we see you first." Klarion said, as a portal opened up behind the two. They then disappeared.
Lagaan face palmed.
"Neptune's beard! How could we have let them get away?" he shouted.
"Maybe because Klarion's violent sociopath?" Kidflash shouted.
"The League is not going to like this." Super-boy mumbled, just then Zatana, Nightwing, and Batgirl ran into the room.
"Where's Raven?" Zatana shouted, judging by the mess she could already figure.
"Klarion broke in and took her." Kidflash explained.
"How did he even get in here? No one should be able to get into the watch tower without proper excess." Batgirl said. Nightwing paused for a moment.
"This is not good. Not good at all." He said, "Let's clean this place up before the League comes back."

"So should I pick at the fact you kissed me to wake me up earlier? Or are we just going to leave it at that?" Raven asked once they arrived at Klarion's house.
"Let's not." Klarion said, "So what happened?"
Raven crossed her arms, and sat down on Klarion's bed.
"They tried to ask me questions about that Light thing you're involved with." She said. Klarion cocked an eyebrow.
"What'd you tell them?" he asked, sitting next to Raven.
"Nothing, until this Martian guy came in with Nabu." Raven said, Klarion frowned; Nabu was involved? Well duh of course he was, wherever Klarion went Nabu wasn't far behind to ruin his fun.
"The little creep read my mind; found out I didn't know anything about the Light. Then I was put in that cell and the rest is pretty fuzzy until you found me." Raven continued, once she finished explaining everything to Klarion he sighed. So nothing too bad had happened, it was then that Klarion realized just how relieved he was that The Light didn't want her apart of their group, and how thankful he was to have Raven back. Klarion then kissed Raven laying her down on the bed. When he broke a way he just laid there for a moment. Raven blushed, then something Nightwing had said earlier came to her mind.
"Klarion you love me right?" she asked hesitantly. Klarion sat up and cocked an eyebrow, Raven looked at his eyes and bit her lip. "It's just that; Something Nightwing said, it's bothering me a little."
"What'd they say?" Klarion asked giving Raven a questioning look.
"N-nothing important." Raven said, squirming a bit. Klarion frowned.
"Don't lie to me Raven. What'd they say to you?" he pressed, Raven could feel the sting of tears threatening her eyes.
"They said you didn't love me; that you only thought of me as property and you abandoned me." She said, she then placed her arm over her face to hide away a bit. Klarion frowned; he didn't like how the Justice League placed thoughts like that in his Raven's mind. He leaned forward and kissed her.
"Of course I love you Raven." He then said, then laid ontop of her for a moment, "And I never want to lose you again."
Raven smiled, feeling guilty about asking him that. Klarion loved her, and even if Zatana lied to her she had him, and that's all that mattered to her.
