Chapter 14
Last chapter Lita revealed herself to the Team, Klarion ran into a Raven look alike, and Abra thought about what he did to the Bleak Family…but mostly KLARION RAN INTO A RAVEN LOOK ALIKE! What's going to happen? How did she come back? And what's going on with the Light? Hmmm? Guess we'll find out won't we? ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
"So wait; you're saying you knew a girl who looked like me, sounded like me, and has the same name as me?" Raven asked. Klarion nodded; this woman that looked almost exactly like Raven Blu, his past lover(except older now), had bumped into him while he was walking down the street. He was shocked by how alike the two seemed, the only difference was; this Raven didn't seem to have the same aura for magic as the woman he once loved.
"Yes." He mumbled, the Raven look alike laughed.
"There is just no-way; I think I'd remembering meeting a guy with hair like yours." She said, then reached for Klarion's hair. Klarion looked to the ground a little embarrassed.
"It wouldn't be the first time Raven—uh you—forgot about me." He mumbled. Raven cocked an eyebrow.
"Do you really expect me to believe this, uh Klarion right?" she asked, Klarion nodded.
"Of course I do Raven, you and I…we—"
"Raven!" shouted a girl with long blonde hair as she ran up to the duo. Raven perked.
"Hey Mary! About time you got here." She asked, "Oh this is uh, Klarion."
Klarion looked at the girl named Mary, but said nothing. Mary gave him a look then looked back to Raven.
"Uhm, ok." She said and grabbed Raven's hand, "Raven come on time to go."
Before the two girls left the Raven look alike turned to Klarion and gave him a hug; making the Witch-boy (or man as the case may be) blush. She then gave him a wink.
"I hope you find your friend Klarion." She said, then ran off. Leaving Klarion feeling a mixture of emotions; sadness, hope, and a bit of anger. He was also wondering if it was just coincidence that he ran into a woman that looked like Raven—if she was older—or was it fate? He scoffed, he was never really one for fate. He looked down to Teekl who stared at the duo.
"I don't know about this." He mewed. Klarion shook his head.
"Nonsense; it has to be her, perhaps my necromancy just took longer than normal." He mumbled, then stood, "Come Teekl—we should get home."

"Dad!" Lita's voice shouted as she embraced Klarion when he got home. Klarion laughed a bit.
"Hello Lita." He mumbled then sniffed, "What's burning?"
"Oh that…well, Uncle Abra and I tried a new recipe and well…" Lita mumbled, "Let's just say it didn't end well this time."
Teekl sneezed and looked up at Lita and mewed. Lita look back down at him and stuck her tongue out.
"You can't even cook so there." She said, then heard her father began to laugh. Lita looked back at her father, while Abra poked his head out from the kitchen.
"Uhm dad?" Lita mumbled Klarion stood up straight and looked to his daughter who looked extremely confused.
"It's nothing Lita…" He said with a smile, Lita cocked her head to the side.
"Uh, ok…so dad about Halloween…?" She began, Klarion waved his hand as he headed to the living room.
"Yes, yes; you may go out and have some fun with your little friends." He said, Lita jumped up and flew over to her father.
"Do you really mean that dad? Really?" she asked, Klarion nodded.
"Yes; I suppose it's time I let you go out and have some fun." He said, then felt Lita give him another hug.
"Thank you daddy! Oh I'm just so happy; my friends invited me to this costume party, and I really wanted to go yaknow?" She said as she began to ramble, Klarion smiled as he saw his daughter get excited about being able to go out on Halloween, and watched as she flew off.
"Oh Lita! You're aunt is coming in next week don't forget." He called, then looked to Abra who was shrinking back into the kitchen, and frowned.
"Clean up this mess." He hissed then went about his business.

"Costume shopping with the girls from the Team?" Lita mumbled the next day at school, she had just told Impulse and Garfield that her father allowed her to go out and they explained to her that Batgirl, bumble bee—a member she had yet to meet—and Wonder-girl were going costume shopping together and had told the boys to tell Lita.
"Yeah, Bumble Bee wanted to meet you and they all agreed that'd be the perfect time." Garfield said, Impulse nodded.
"So Batgirl told us to tell you they were doing that today." He said, "You think you'll be able to?"
"I think I might be able to; yaknow I'm so excited. My first real Halloween." Lita said happily as she retrieved her books from her locker.
"How'd you get your dad to let you go?" Garfield asked. Lita shrugged.
"I don't know he just came home yesterday in a super good mood; the next thing I know he says it's time he lets me have some fun." She said as she shut her locker only to jump when she saw an unwelcomed familiar face.
"What's this I hear about a party?" Jordana asked glaring down at Lita.
"It's nothing Jordana—leave it alone. You're not even invited." Impulse said, Jordana smirked as she stood up straight and folded her arms in front of her chest.
"Oh? Well I also heard that Jackson's going." She said, Lita looked back at Garfield and Impulse.
"Hey don't look at me, he invited himself." Garfield said, Lita then smiled at Jordana.
"I think it'd be great if you came." She said sweetly, much to their surprise. Jordana gave her a look as if gaging whether she was being serious or trying to be sarcastic. Impulse and Garfield looked to each other then back to Lita.
"What?"
"Well yes—I've never been to a party before, and I don't think Roger's friend would mind the extra people. You and Jackson Bullock should go as a pair." Lita said smiling ever so sweetly. Jordana went to say something, but instead closed her mouth and turned.
"Alright then." She mumbled and walked off. Impulse and Garfield looked to Lita.
"Lita are you insane?" Garfield asked, Lita gave him a look.
"Insanity runs in my family Garfield, don't joke about that." She said, "And if Jackson Bullock is going to be there wouldn't be easy to keep him busy with Jordana?"
The two looked at each other; that was pretty brilliant. Lita giggled as the two gave her weird looks.
"So I look forward to going with Wonder-girl and the others." She said, and the two walked to class.

Meanwhile not far from the school Klarion was looking for the woman who looked and acted like Raven Blu. Finally he found her at a little boutique with her blonde haired friend he watched from the window with Teekl who meowed.
"Stalking is for human's and sparkling vampires*" Klarion mumbled, "I'm trying to talk to her, there's nothing wrong with that."
Inside the Boutique Raven's blonde friend Mary nudged her and pointed to the window.
"Isn't that the guy you were talking to yesterday?" She asked, Raven looked over, "I think he's stalking you."
"I doubt that; he said we knew each other or he knew a girl that looked like me." Raven said. Her friend gagged.
"That's creepy."
"I think it's cute, I think I'm going to talk to him maybe get to know him a little." Raven said.
"Do whatever you want girl. I'm goin home." Mary said then left. Raven followed until she saw Klarion who was pretending to look at the items in the window.
"Are you following me sir?" She asked, Klarion jumped a bit and looked over to her.
"Why not? You're worth following." He said trying act smooth. Raven gave a disapproving smirk and laughed.
"Ok; that was creepy." She said then grabbed Klarion by the hand, "Come on since you're so bent on talking to me."
She ended up dragging him to a small café the same one from when Raven Blu was alive. Klarion heart sank as memories of her came flooding back. She brought him here when he taught her how to teleport, and when Nabu made her lose her memory.
"What's wrong?" Raven asked, Klarion snapped out of his thoughts.
"Nothing." He mumbled. She shrugged.
"Alright so talk; how do you know me?" She asked, Klarion looked down at his lap where Teekl now laid purring.
"I already told you that." He said. Raven rolled her eyes and pushed her hair behind her ears.
"Yeah I know but do you really expect me to believe that? I mean come on what I just magically forgot all about that stuff." She scoffed, Klarion's gaze shifted.
"You used to believe in magic." he mumbled Raven smiled.
"Oh I do; but that's a little far-fetched even for me." She said, Klarion sighed then a thought came to his mind.
"I can prove it to you." He said, Raven's brow rose in interest.
"Oh? How?" she asked, Klarion smirked and stood, holding out his hand for her.
"Come with me and I'll show you." He said. Teekl meowed as Raven hesitated for a moment; she then took his hand and Klarion opened a portal as the two stepped through.

"I-I don't know about this," Lita said as she hid inside one of the changing rooms in a costume store. She was with the girls that were on the Team; Bumble Bee, Wonder-girl, and Batgirl. Or since they were in public, Karen Beecher, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Barbra Gordon.
"Come on Lita the whole fun in dressing up is to jump out of your comfort zone. Show us." Barbra said, Lita's face turned beet red as she sighed and stepped out to show her in a skimpy witch's costume that exposed her belly and a lot of cleavage.
"I-it's too skimpy. D-do I have to wear this?" She stuttered covering her exposed area. Barbra and Karen smirked.
"It looks awesome on you though." Barbra said.
"I-I don't know about this; nothing I read about dressing up online said anything about this." Lita said, suddenly the changing room door next to them opened up.
"Hey if you've got it flaunt it." Cassandra said wearing nothing but a corset that resembled Wonder-Woman's. Lita's face turned even redder as she gawked at the scantily dressed girl.
"Th-that may be f-for someone like you…but I don't have a body l-like yours." She stuttered, trying not to stare while Hatter laughed. Cassandra stood next to Lita and dipped to her level.
"What are you talking about?" she asked. Lita's eye darted nervously about the room until she couldn't take anymore and she fainted.
"Geeze; hard to believe you're the one behind Jinx." Karen said, "You're such a nervous person."
"Yeah how does that work anyway?" Barbra asked. Lita sat up still blushing slightly as Hatter jumped down from her perch on shelf and meowed.
"O-oh that? I feed off of Hatter's natural instincts." She said, Hatter meowed.
"So then that whole flirting with Impulse?" Karen asked, Lita blushed.
"Th-that was Hatter; I could n-never openly flirt with someone. It's just embarrassing." She said, Barbra smirked.
"So then who do you like?" she asked, Lita looked up at the bat-brat as she stood.
"Uhm I'm sorry?" she asked genuinely confused. The girls all grinned.
"You know who do you wanna go out with?" Karen asked. Cassandra crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Yeah we all know you've been around Beast-boy and Impulse a lot, you even go to school with them, and they both have a crush on you." She said, Lita blushed.
"Th-they do?" she mumbled, the girls noded.
"Hello? Can't you tell?" Cassandra asked, Lita shook her head.
"They kept your secret identity for you and protected you just the other day. How could you not tell?" Barbra asked.
"I'm still getting used to having human friends offline. I wouldn't know if someone liked me—well except Jackson bullock, but he's scary and so open about it." Lita said, Hatter meowed as she climbed onto Lita's shoulders, "Even you knew?! Hatter!"
"Wow Lita you're so oblivious aren't you?" Karen asked, Lita nodded, "That's so adorable."
"Hm, uhm can I change now?" Lita asked.
"Yeah, hey how bout a sexy kitty?" Barbra teased, Hatter growled as Lita placed her hand on her cat's head.
"I don't think I should have to translate how wrong that is." She said smiling a bit. The girls then burst into collective laughter, only to get yelled at by the clerk and laugh even harder.
So that was that; I hoped you liked this chapter, I really wanted to do this part with the girls. Lita's such a nervous nelly. Wow that was bad. Haha anyhow what'd you think? I look forward to your reviews. Ja-ne!
