Ch 8 Part 3
Raven stood on line at her gate. She didn't see Beast boy, but she sensed him on the plane. She felt a little nervous, but she wanted to be here for him. She had a hard time explaining to Robin why she felt she needed to go, but she told him the only thing that made sense to her. 'He needs a friend right now.' She just hoped that Beast boy felt the same.
'Sometimes he's unpredictable but that's what makes him more intriguing,' said Knowledge.
'You know what also makes him intriguing, those eyes, those ears, his fangs, and of course his tight as-"
'Lust! Quit it, this isn't about that,' said Raven. 'He's always been there and the last thing I'm going to do is throw myself at my boyfriend when he's going through something difficult in his life.'
'She's right lust. You should no better,' said Love.
"Um, excuse me young lady," said a male voice. "Ticket please."
"Oh uh sorry," she said as she handed it to him, he scanned it, and gave it back to her as she walked into the hallway leading to the plane. 'He definitely won't recognize me with Cyborg's holographic ring on. Her hair was raven black, and her skin was white. Her blue t-shirt and black capris made her look like any other teenage girl. Even her eyes were a normal blue.
Walking down the aisle of the plane, she looked for her seat, which was the first row behind first class in the aisle seat. 'Gee the boy wonder couldn't even get me first class. Well it is short notice and why am I even talking about this with myself. I have to find Beast boy.' She concentrated, took a deep breath, and reached for him with her mind. 'He's in first class. How come I didn't see him? Wait, he's probably wearing a holographic ring to.'
"Hey hot stuff, it looks like we're going to spend the whole flight together," said a male voice.
Raven looked up to see a guy about her age with bulky, bulging muscles wearing a muscle shirt and tight blue jeans. The sight of him made her sick. "Oh joy," she said with all the sarcasm she could muster as she walked out of her seat to let him in.
"I bought the middle and window seat, so I'd have room for my muscles," he smiled. "I can tell you like them babe," he said as he scooted closer to her.
She almost threw up in her mouth, but her attention turned elsewhere as everyone was told to buckle up. She sighed. 'I guess I'll have to find him later,' said Raven as she buckled her seatbelt.
"When the seat belt sign goes off, I'm all yours babe. We have enough room to make out."
'Why does every perverted guy think I want sex?' She sighed. "Look I'm not interested in you in any way. I have a boyfriend."
He laughed. "That's what they all say before they meet me."
"Well I'm not as stupid and gullible as the other girls you spend your time with," she said as she took out a book from her bag and began to read.
As the plane took off, Raven closed her book and set it in her lap as she concentrated on getting through lift off. She felt a hand squeeze her thigh and looked to see the guy smirking at her. "Don't worry babe, I'll protect you."
She could feel her rage wanting to rip this guy's heart out and show it to him. Since she wouldn't let Rage do that, she did the next best thing. She looked around to see everyone on the plane doing their own thing as she turned back to face the piece of garbage and punched him in the face, knocking him out. She placed a pillow behind his head and a blanket over his body. She saw the seat belt sign go off and got up from her seat to find Beast boy.
Before she could draw the curtain to first class, the plane began to shake. Raven looked to the stewardess. 'What's going on?' she thought.
"Attention passengers buckle up, we're going to crash!"
