Well, anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter! This chapter covers up 2 days- the day of the trial and the day afterwards.

Jake entered the court room.

"So...Jake, tell us- is it true you warned her against this type of magic?"Judge Harrison asked.

Jake sighed.

"Yes." he said.

"And, is it true she chose to ignore your warning?" Superman asked in turn.

"She did ignore it, sort of, at the beginning..." Jake allowed grudgingly.

He glanced at Ravenie who looked devastated. She had begun crying.

Then she glared at him with accusing eyes.

'I'm sorry' he thought at her helplessly 'I had to do this...it was our only way out!'

"Ravenie, how do you answer to that claim?" the judge asked her.

"Well...I would say that I DID ignore it in the start because I believed it was false, since I was going out with Timothy at the time, I believed Jake was was saying those things out of jealousy- to break me and Timmy apart- because, like you said, even now there's no evidence that he was the one who hypnotized me..." Ravenie said, loosing her temper a bit.

"So you believe Timothy Creak innocent?" theJudge asked her.

"Innocent- who knows? Worthy of investigation- yes." Ravenie said "I only know I was hypnotized- by whom I have no idea."

'No! No! What are you doing?' Jake sent her an urgent telepathic message.

"When you say you were going out with him..." Superman began but Ravenie interrupted him.

"It means, yes, I was going out with him but things didn't work out for us so I ended it. If he were to be found guilty I have nothing to do with that." Ravenie said simply.

"But I thought you were going out with Jake?" Superman asked, in a clear provocation.

"I was until SOMEONE decided to cheat on me." Ravenie said with a small sneer.

"Enough! That is really not important for this case!" Wonder Woman said sharply.

"Very well...Ravenie here's what I decide- since you WERE warned against this sort of magic and you chose to ignore it- you must have a consequence. Yet because you were hypnotized and didn't doanything purposely I let you go off easy. You have one month of house arrest. Next case!" Judge Harrison called.

Raveniecouldn't believe either what she was hearing or what she was seeing.

Anger at Jake's betrayal overcame her then.

"What was that about?" Jake came to her, he seemed a little pissed.

"What was WHAT about, sorry?" she asked him, glaring heavily at him.

"Why did all of a sudden you start defending Creak?" Jake asked her.

"Oh, I don't know, how come all of a sudden you were testifying AGAINST me?" Ravenie fired back.

"Look I had to Ravenie-" Jake began apologetically but Ravenie interrupted him.

"Oh, I know you had to, alright, I notcied how all of YOUR charges were cleared and YOU are let free, no, you know what Jake- just- just get away from me okay? I don't want to see you- not now- not ever, okay?"

"Ravenie it's not what you think-" Jake began alarmed.

"OF COURSE NOT!" she screamed, completely loosing her temper "I WOULD'VE NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D DO THAT TO ME JAKE! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!"

"Of course I do, Ravenie, I love you." Jake said gently.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" She screamed at him and shoved him aside when he attempted to wrap his arms around her.

"C'mon Ravenie, honey we need to leave now." Nightwing came up to his daughter, hugging her lightly "Let's go back home." and he gave Jake a death glare. Jake winced 'Why don't they let me explain?' he thought desperately.

"So that I an be trapped in there for a month like a mouse on a cage!" she yelled at Nightwing "I don't want that dad!"

He sighed.

"I know sweetie pie but we must do as the judge says- otherwise we could get into a whole lot more trouble." Nightwing said.

"Ravenie I-" Jake began but Nightwing cut across him.

"Stay away from my daughter!" he told Jake firmly "I swear, I don't care how close your parents are with me, I don't even care what Raven does to me but I swear if you get one step closer to her I'll make you sorry- very very sorry"

Jake watched helplessly as Nightwing, Ravenie and their family walked away from him...

Later that day...

"I can't believe Nightwing seriously said that about you!" Raven said angrily.

"Drop it mom" Jake mumbled miserably.

"No, seriously, Nightwing is going to hear me out on this one! Threatening my son! MY son! How dare he!" Raven fumed.

"Mom..." Jake said, trying to calm her down.

"He thinks just because he's Batmans apprentice- I'll show him- I-I!" Raven couldn't seem to calm down, Changeling came and wrapped his arms around his raging wife.

"Rae- love, drop it- it's best as Jake said." he told her.

Silently, he thought he'd have a talk with Nightwing himself.

At Night...

Jake lay miserably on his bed.

He had known all along that Ravenie would hate him for this but he hadn't anticipated this reaction. She hadn't even let him explain! He was sure she hated him now and it pained him very much to loose her- again.

Summer came in.

"Hey there traitor-boy, how are you doing?" she asked him quietly.

He threw a pillow at her, which she caught with her powers long before it touched her.

"Not funny." Jake told her- it sounded very much like a moan "Go away!"

"Look Jake," Summer said coming in "I know how you feel-"

"No you don't." he told her curtly "Nobody knows how much pain I'm in right now but me."

"Look Jake- we're teenagers okay? We fall in love easily- we have crushes all the time- and I know that at the end of one it really feels like the end of the world but it isn't Jake- it really isn't- look at me Jake- I really did think that Ryan was the one and look at me now- I got over him, Jake- I won't lie to you, it wasn't easy- but I got over him in the end." Summer said.

"Okay but this isn't like that Summer- I get what you're saying but this isn't like that- I really do love her- she is the only one for me." Jake said then sighed "But after today- who knows? She might as never talk to me again."

"Have you actually tried having somebody else? I don't know- tried new experiences? Another grilfriend besides Ravenie?" Summer asked him.

"Of course not" Jake said automatically "She's been my one and only love. You know that."

"Then how can you be sure you really know what love is?" Summer countered.

"I don't know, I just do." Jake said.

Summer sighed.

"Whatever, good night Jake." she said.

"Good night" he answered her.

Just then their mother came up.

"Okay guys, Summer, go to bed, you have school tomorrow and Jake, rest as well, tomorrow you start community service.

"I thought tomorrow was just my orientation?" Jake asked her.

"Yep. But still- we don't want to be late for that." Raven replied.

"Of course not, good night mom." Jake said.

"Good Night Jake." she said.

Summer also said good night and retired to her bedroom.

Jake tried to be positive about all this- it felt good to just be back home he guessed...

The next day...Orientation day

Jake entered the place where he was going to be doing community service.

It wasn't all that bad what he had to do.

He had to help clean out all garbage- but he'd already done that at home.

He had to help sort out recycling material. That was long but actually easy and fun.

He also had to help look after small children in a day-care.

Altogether it wasn't so bad.

"Thanks for volunteering." the principal of the daycare told him.

Jake said nothing. He was happy to be helping out but he hadn't actually volunteered for that and felt guilty for her praise.

"Here, just to get you settled- you'll be working with a partner for a while- Gina- could you come here please?" the principal asked her.

A girl came up to them. She had flaming red hair and big, round green eyes. The green eyes reminded Jake of Ravenie but he pushed that thought out his mind. If Ravenie could get over him then so could he. He was going to give his sister's advice a try.

"Let's get started" Gina said, taking Jake's hand.

"Bye Jake" his mom called " I'll come pick you up at 4:00 o'clock- be good okay?"

"Yes mom." he answered with a small wave.

"Are you actually Jacob Logan? The superhero kid?" Gina asked him amazed.

"Yep. That's me." Jake said proudly and trying to impress her. "Call me Jake, by the way." he added, raising his eyebrows a bit, flirting slightly.

"Wow. That's really- WOW. I've been a fan of yours in since like- forever." Gina said "Let's get started, shall we?"

"Lead the way." Jake said gallantly, making Gina giggle.

"Hey!" she protested lightly "You're not flirting with me, are you Mr.? Because you know...I have some pretty strict rules about boys who want to date me."

"Oh I don't know," Jake said teasingly and playing a bit with her hair, he then raised an eyeborw "Maybe?" he said.

She laughed.

"I'll risk your rules..." he said simply and grinning at her.

"But- someone as handsome and popular as you MUST have a girlfriend already..." Gina said, eyebrows raised.

"Nope. I had one but we broke up and after that I just have tons of fan-girls." Jake said, it pained him a little to speak that way about Ravenie but upon remembering her cold indifference with him he became angry once more and didn't care for her.

Gina laughed once again and the two spent a pretty enjoyable day.

Jake flirted with Gina often- it felt strange. He hadn't flirted purposely in like- years. Not with anyone who wasn't Ravenie. Jake had always known that he could have any girl from his old school and had never felt the need to flirt with any of them. Sure, he'd flirted with Ravenie before, when they were still just friends, trying to get her to hook up with with him, and he'd flirted with Ravenie nowadays whenever he felt like he needed but proper flirting with other girls? Nope. Not on years.

It actually felt pretty good and funny to be flirting so openly with Gina and for the rest of the day, Ravenie was mostly forgotten in laughter, jokes, and fun he was havig with Gina...

That Night...

Jake sighed contently.

He hadn't had painful thoughts all day, aside from ocassional pangs.

It seemed like he was completely blissed while he was with Gina.

She was smart, sweet, and funny and was, he could tell, very fond of him.

Since she had no super powers of her own she was easily impressed with anthing Jake did, somthing Jake had not managed in a girl for a while.

Ravenie knew his powers all too well and there wasn't anything he could do that impressed her anymore. The girls at the program had all had super powers as well so they were not impressed much.

Thinking of Ravenie again brought the usual pang of hurt and guilt to him. He'd been feeling it all day. And the day before. And the day before. And the day before. Ever since he'd been first asked to testify against her.

Instead he began thinking of Gina- his thoughts were more pleasant there.

She just wasn't the same as a certain Grayson girl but she was beautiful and she liked him. And he liked her- he guessed.

So he began to give his sister some credit and decided to try something new- after all- Ravenie HAD dated Creak for a while and- asides from sleeping with her while drunk once- he'd never had anything with Allison or any other girl. It was time to change that a bit.

And he fell into a deep slumber, already wishing for the next day so that he could see Gina again...

A/N: I know, sad chapter isn't it? Well, you guys'll hopefully forgive me.
