Raven was once again the cage banging the glass.
'I swear I am going to rip your head clean of your shoulders if you don't let me out NOW!' Raven yelled at Beast Boy. He shivered slightly under her death glare. She growled before kicking at the glass.
'No point trying Rae, you can't break through it.' James smirked as he walked over to the cage.
'I'll break you when I get out of this god forsaken thing!' Raven snapped. James just laughed before turning to his mother as she entered the room with Starfire and Gerry. They were holding the things that they hoped would occupy Raven from before.
'How you planning on getting those in there?' Robin frowned.
'Teleport.' Arella spoke as she made the objects disappear and then reappear behind Raven.
She stopped banging and kicking the glass and turned to look at the books, toys and teddies on the floor.
'Let's hope this works.' Beast Boy whispered. They all stared at Raven as she just simply looked at the stuff. She giggled before continuing to bang on the glass.
A disappointed sigh left their lips.
'Well it was worth a shot.' Cyborg shrugged.
'Don't give up yet. She'll get bored and will eventually start mooching through the stuff.' Arella smiled.
----------------------------------
They waited well over an hour before Raven got fed up with trying to smash the glass. She frowned as she turned to look at the stuff on the floor. Raven plopped down on the floor in front of the toys.
'Told you so.' Arella grinned. They all smiled before finally relaxing.
'So, who wants a drink?' Gerry piped up. They all nodded and with that, Gerry left the room to grab drinks and food.
After rummaging through the toys, she finally picked out a colouring book and some pencils. She moved away from the pile of toys and placed the colouring book in front of her. She then lay on her stomach, propped up on one elbow, and began to flick through the book to find a picture she likes. Raven eventually picked out a picture that had a bird flying off into the sunset, over the ocean, with a rose in its beak. She smiled slightly before opening the coloured pencils and tipping them out onto the floor. She picked up a blue pencil and began to colour in the ocean.
Robin marvelled at how calm she actually looked. It hadn't taken him long to notice the small smile on her face either.
'How's she doing?' Gerry asked, walking back into the room with a tray full of drinks and snacks.
'Okay…for now.' Arella said as she chewed on her tongue. Indeed, Raven did actually feel calm until she saw her brother out of the corner of her eye. She quickly turned her head to look at him. James gasped as he looked at her emotionless face. Her stare quickly turned to a deathly glare.
'James, move away.' Arella spoke with a serious tone. James quickly nodded as he ran over to a chair that was by Starfire. Raven scowled before turning back to her picture and continued to colour.
After a few minutes of silence and watching Raven, they decided to grab a bite to eat. Gerry passed out the packets of w
hat seemed to be crisps and their drinks.
'So…is it safe…for us to…go in there with…Raven…as long as…James isn't with us?' Beast Boy asked between stuffing his face with food.
'I'm not sure; I wouldn't want to risk any of you getting hurt.' Arella sighed.
'Well, we have to find out eventually.' Cyborg smiled.
'Yes, friend Cyborg is correct.' Starfire beamed.
'Yeah, you can't lock her up in this every year.' Robin said as he turned to look at Arella.
'Aren't you going to give Rae and food?' Cyborg raised an eyebrow as he noticed that Raven didn't have any food or drink.
'Oh, right.' Gerry laughed as he stepped up to the door of the cage with some food and a drink in hand.
'Wait, no!' Arella said, jumping forward.
'I can just teleport it in there.' Arella smiled.
'And risk turning it into mush? I don't think so, I'll be fine. Just close the door behind me.' Gerry grinned before unlocking the door and entering the cage.
Raven turned her head to look at her father as he walked over to her.
'I brought you some food and something to drink.' Gerry smiled at his daughter. Raven just looked at her father as he placed it down next to her. With the look that was on her face, nobody knew what she was going to do next. She looked so innocent. They weren't sure is she was going to try and rip her dad to pieces or just return to colouring.
'You okay now?' Gerry asked his daughter. Raven just carried on staring at him with wide eyes. It made Gerry feel very uncomfortable and Raven could sense it. She took another glance at her food before turning back to her colouring book. Gerry gave a sigh of relief before exiting the glass cage.
'Daddy, how come she didn't even attempt to rip your throat out?' James frowned.
'Exactly, I don't know.' Gerry said, looking back at his daughter.
'Maybe she's only vicious around James.' Beast Boy shrugged.
'No, it's not that. Come one, she wants to destroy Azerath and everything in it.' Arella scrunched up her face.
They sat chatting for a bit until Raven crawled up to the glass and pressed the picture up against it. She looked at everyone with big innocent eyes. Raven had coloured the picture in really neatly and even signed it at the bottom.
'That's pretty Rae.' Robin smiled. She mouthed a thank you before picking up her food. She sat crossed legged, facing everyone, and began to nibble at her food.
'Why is she so calm?' Beast Boy asked, out of the blue.
'I have no idea. Normally every year she's going ballistic no matter what.' Arella smiled.
'Well, she has been doing that but she's being kinda nice and innocent right now don't ya think?' Cyborg grinned.
'True.' Arella said before taking a sip of her drink.
After Raven had finished her food and drink, she sat looking at everyone.
'What are you planning?' Arella whispered. No one in the room heard her but Raven seemed to. Her eyes diverted straight to her mothers. Raven smiled and raised her eyebrow ever so slightly. Raven knew that she couldn't get past her mother. Arella seemed to know what Raven was thinking just by looking at her.
'Don't even try it.' Arella growled causing everyone to look at her and then at Raven. Raven noticed this and put an innocent look back on her face.
'Don't let that look fool you, she's planning something.' Arella informed them. Raven stuck her bottom lip out slightly as she placed her palm onto the glass.
'I think Raven should be okay for now, we should really be checking out on the damage she's done.' Robin looked at Arella as he spoke. She nodded in agreement.
'BB stay and watch Raven, we'll be back soon.' Robin placed a hand on his friend's shoulder before leaving the room with the others.
Even though Raven was locked in a glass cage, he still felt nervous.
'Why are you so scared? I won't hurt you.' Raven smiled softly. Beast Boy looked at her warily before smiling back.
'I'm kinda lonely in here.' Raven grinned. She was trying to lure BB into her game. He raised his eyebrow at her before responding.
'I don't know what you're trying to do but I'm not going to fall for it.' Beast Boy said as he folded his arms.
'You sure about that?' Raven smirked.
Two chapters in one day! Man, I'm on a roll. YAY! Review please. What do you think Raven's gonna do next? I have an idea but I would love to hear your suggestions.
