Ordinary Life- Chapter 13

Rating: M

Pairing: Raven/Jinx

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I had a different story idea I had to get out of my head. And I had to get my xbox addiction under control again...

Don't own anything related to Teen Titans. Pointless to sue, don't got money.

Enjoy! ^^

Raven pulled her motorcycle to a stop besides a tree. They were well into the forest so no one would see them, but she had stopped them right before getting to the clearing she had picked out. She had asked Terra to set the basket and blanket up before she had to go to night classes, and the blonde had been all over helping, wanting nothing more then to see her friend smile again. Raven was sure that by the end of the night, the rest of her friends would know and she would be teased beyond belief the next time they got together.

She is well worth any teasing I would get, well and truly worth it, She thought with a smile, watching as Jinx got off the bike and looked around. She got off as well, and gently grabbed the metahuman's hand.

Jinx looked at their hands, feeling a sense of safety at the sight, as well as a feeling of being home at the gentle and soft touch.

"Everything is set up a little further in. I didn't want to ruin the area with the wheels on my bike." Raven said, smiling charmingly before guiding Jinx into the clearing.

Jinx was sure her jaw was touching the ground... probably again. The clearing was a big semi-inclosed circle. There was a spot were a few trees could have been, but were not. Instead it gave a clear view of the river bed, and even some of the buildings from the city. Oddly enough, it was facing west, and Jinx was sure they would be here to watch the sun set. Looking around more, she noticed that a blanket had been laid out under the shade of a tree, and a basket was resting in the middle.

Raven lead her over, and they sat down facing each other. The mage smiled as she pulled out several plates, and a nice sized container; that looked to hold some fruit. A second, containing sandwiches followed, along with a bottle of sparkling cider and two Champion flutes. Jinx smiled at the sight, and almost giggled when Raven pulled out a bag of chips.

The Demoness shrugged, grinning like a child, "No picnic is complete without chips." She said as way of explanation. When she caught Jinx looking at the cider, she smiled playfully, "You just have to figure that one out on your own."

"What, don't want me getting drunk?" Jinx asked playfully, her smile turning into a smirk.

Raven smiled, "Maybe one day... But only if you turn out to be a happy drunk and love cuddling."

They both laughed, and Raven went about making two plates with a sandwich each, small hand full of chips, and some fruit. She handed one of them to Jinx, and then poured them a glass of the Cider. The two sat and talked, it was about trivial things; how the bar was doing, about Nik and Raven's friends from the Titans. Raven asked about what Jinx had been up to the past few years. She hid her surprise well, when she found out about the account that Jinx had set up, and that she was doing online schooling so that she could work and not have to worry about getting to class on time.

When they were both done with the food, Raven moved to rest against the tree behind her. She motioned Jinx to come sit next to her, and hid her surprise when the metahuman moved closer and made her open her legs so she could rest between them. They sat facing the gape in the trees, Jinx resting against the mage. Raven had her left arm wrapped around Jinx's waist, while the right was resting gently around her shoulders. They were both quiet as they watched the sun set, and when the stars started showing, Raven used her magic to have small flames float around above their heads.

Jinx smiled at the sight, leaning her head back against a strong shoulder, and stroking over the arm wrapped loosely around her neck.

"Raven?" She asked, after several minutes of just looking at the stars.

"Hm?" Raven responded, her eyes closed as she enjoyed being with her crush.

"In your past... There were conversations that were blurred..." Jinx said, tilting her head slightly to look up at the woman behind her in silent question.

Raven chuckled, "I'm a half breed... When I defeated my father, the head priestess from the temple came and visited me. She said that since I over came my fathers influence... She was now allowed to tell me the other half of my heritage. I am half demon... and half something else."

"Something else?" Jinx asked, her finger catching the edge of the tattoo that adorned Raven's wrist. She pulled the arm away from her, and gently traced the letters that made up the word. She couldn't understand what it said, but the writing looked beyond beautiful to her.

"My mother never talked of her childhood. She claims that she doesn't remember anything from before she turned seven. The priestess explained to me why that was. My mother is an angel."

"Seriously?" Jinx asked, moving to sit up so she could face the woman behind her.

Raven nodded, "She doesn't know it though... Her powers were locked away to protect her. At the time, people were after her family for her. She has a lot of power, and they wanted to use it to rule the world. Because of this, she doesn't remember anything from before she was seven, which is when they erased her memories and moved to Earth. The monks and priestess' were told of this when I was born. They decided to wait and see what happened with my father, before telling me that I am half angel... At the time I was pissed, which is why the memory is blurred. Since then, I have come to accept it as a part of me."

"So... I really shouldn't piss you off then, huh?" Jinx asked

Raven smiled, "I could never be mad at you. And I'm not saying that to be charming. I mean I truly can not be mad at you..."

"Really? Why?" The metahuman asked, her thumb tracing the tattoo lightly.

"You are tracing the reason why." The mage said. She took a deep breath, preparing for any sort of out come from what she was about to say, "I learned that with my dual heritage, that I was sadly enough subjected to having a soul mate. After the Priestess told me this, the tattoos on my arms appeared. One is the name of my soul mate, and the other is a blurred vision of when they would finally accept me, or well, where we would be, when they accept me."

Jinx sat in silence after that, looking down at the arm she had been holding through out the whole conversation. She moved to rest against Raven again, her head laying back on the strong shoulder. Raven didn't try and talk, which she was grateful for at the moment. Her thoughts were all over the place, memories came to the front of her mind, and she started seeing them in a different light.

She now understood why Raven had been so willing to let her into her house, how she had acted, her total relaxed state when she was near her. The words she said, the emotions she showed, everything was blinking in front of her eyes and she couldn't stop them. And after several minutes of thought, she realized she didn't want them to stop. She finally understood what she had been feeling all along.

With a smile, she tilted her head, reached back with one hand, and pulled Raven into a gentle kiss. Her hand rested on the back of the mage's neck, her fingers barely touching the tips of her hair. The arms around her tightened, and Jinx felt completely safe wrapped in them.

When they pulled a part, Jinx smiled, "Can we take this slow?" She asked softly.

"We can go as slow as you want. I am in no rush, and I will never force you into anything." Raven whispered, smiling.

Jinx nodded, "Can we go home?" She asked.

Raven smiled, "Miss Nova?" She asked teasingly.

"Damn right I do!" Jinx shouted playfully, getting to her feet.

Raven got to her feet as well and used her powers to pick everything up. When she was done, she lead Jinx back to her bike, and they drove to Raven's house. While Raven parked in the garage, Jinx hopped off the bike and ran into the living room.

She opened the back door, shouting "NOVA!" out happily.

The wolf bounded over to the door and pounced on the woman, licking at her face happily. The two rolled around on the ground, barks and shrieks coming from them. Raven watched the sight, glad to see her pet happy again. When they were done playing, Jinx moved to sit on the couch... Or well, she flopped onto Raven's lap. She wrapped her arms tightly around the older woman and kissed her deeply. They kissed for several minutes before Jinx made herself comfortable and fell asleep.

Raven couldn't contain the smile she had on her face, and held Jinx tightly as she stood. She moved down the hall, into her bedroom, and placed the sleeping metahuman on her bed. She changed into a tank top and sweat pants, before crawling into the bed next to her girl. Pulling the blankets over them, she kissed Jinx on the forehead and held the woman close as she followed her into sleep.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long... Things have been hectic lately. I'm sorry for any mistakes I missed, I wanted to post this chapter before heading to work...

Hope you enjoyed! ^^
