Chapter two: Revelations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The salty water slowly made a small puddle, but unlike normal water it was not clear. It was an off magenta color. Small pebbles fell from a pile of debris into the small puddle making the liquid fly out onto the hot summer pavement. A moan came from the pile pleading for some one to come and save her life. "Help." Raven mumbled ignoring the pain from her many cracked ribs.
"Just a moment and I shall have you out." a male with sandy brown curly hair said (think Lestat). He quickly lifted the rubble off of Raven's small gentle form. Finally all pieces were off and she could stretch her hand over her body. She concentrated hard while she used her powers to heal herself. When she finished she looked up to her savior.
"Hello little one. May I ask what a gorgeous woman like you is doing under all of that?" he asked pointing to the large bits of metal and concrete. Raven let out a sigh as she stood up.
"I am Raven. Member of the elite fighting team, the Teen Titans. I was under that because I was fighting a demon my father sent after me, he got me mad so I destroyed a building killing him and wounding myself." Raven said in her monotone voice.
"Hello Teen Titan Raven. I am the- I am Lestat." he mumbled deciding for once not to give away his identity as a vampire.
"As in the Vampire Lestat? I know all about you. You claim to be a vampire and yet here you are wandering around in the day light. Explain the reason for that to me oh great one." Raven said sarcastically.
"I have recently taken the throne as King of the Vampires. My bride was killed recently (no offense to those who like Jesse, I just need it to be this way.). The King can go into daylight and so can the Queen. I do not know why but it has been that way for ever." Lestat said smirking at Raven's doubtful look.
"Can you really prove it? Well then show me. Prove to me that you are a vampire." Raven said disbelievingly. Lestat started to circle her, looking into her eyes while he could. He stopped in front of her and grabbed her hand. Slowly he brought it to his mouth, sinking the razor sharp fangs into the delicate cream skin. Blood openly poured from the wound and Lestat did his best to drink it all up. When the blood finally slowed he took her hand from his mouth and smiled.
"Do you believe me now?" he asked looking deeply into her eyes which were mere inches away. Raven broke contact and walked off with her back towards him.
"Maybe. You'll have to do better. I must be going now, my team mates must be worried sick. Fare well Lestat. Call me if you find some better proof." she called back, but as she looked there was no one in sight. She shrugged it off and took flight back to the place she called home. She landed on the roof of the Tower around seven minutes later. She walked to the door and opened it, glad that it was still unlocked. She floated down the stairs and into the open. She could not help but supress a giggle when she saw Starfire force feeding the boys her special made 'Pudding of Sadness.'
"Did you guys really miss me that much?" Raven asked sarcatically as she went to the kitchen cupboard and took out a tea bag. She put a kettle filled with water on the stove to boil then sat down across from Cyborg.
"Friend Raven, you are alive!" Starfire yelled flying into Raven and knocking her down with the force of the hug. Raven gasped and began to turn purple from lack of oxygen.
"Star, I think you'd better let go." Robin said laughing at Raven, whose face now matched her hair. Starfire opened her eyes and looked down at Raven.
"Oh, I am so sorry friend Raven! I was just so happy to see you well and alive." Starfire said happily letting go. Raven began to eagerly gasp trying to inhale as much air as possible.
"Thanks Starfire." Raven said in a soft scratchy voice. The kettle on the stove gave off an earsplitting yell. Raven got up and walked over, picking it up and pouring the hot water into her mug. She placed the tea bag inside and walked over, yet again, to the table.
"So Goth girl, where have you been?" Cyborg asked. Raven looked around the table, Starfire was watching her with wide eyes, Beast Boy was in an owl form with his head cocked to the side ready to listen, Cyborg was watching her intently, and Robin was doing his best to avoid her gaze.
"I was under a pile of rubbish. I arrived at the battle scene before you did. It was another one of my father's henchmen. I killed them by making a skyscaper fall on him and the dopplegangers. I didn't escape the debris so I was burried under the concrete and metal. You guys found my cloak. Which hurt when you pulled it off of my NECK! A man heard my cries of help and he saved me. I did the healing of course. That is what happened, happy?" Raven asked dully. Cyborg and Beast Boy nodded before they left to go play another video game.
"I am so sorry that we gave up on you friend Raven! When we saw that your cloak was covered in blood we were stricken with sadness. I know I could not go on. Please forgive me friend Raven!" Starfire said crying.
"It's ok Starfire. I am alive and well, no permanent harm was done." Raven said patting the girls sagging shoulder blades. Starfire looked up and nodded. She silently floated out to the living room to watch the argumant that had started between Beast Boy and Cyborg.
"It's good to have you back. We all missed you so much, no matter how badly we show it now." Robin said looking at the table.
"No worries Robin. I am fine and so is the team. You don't have to worry because Starfire will always be here." Raven said standing up and marching out of the room. Robin looked at her retreating back.
'What was that about?' Robin wondered as he watched her thin form walk away. 'Damn Raven looks good with out a cape!' he thought before he literally slapped himself. 'Thoughts like that are not allowed. She is your co-worker. Nothing else.' Robin thought. He stood up making the chair he was in tip over. "Raven, wait!" he called chasing after her.
"What do you want?" she asked not stopping. Robin rushed forward and grabbed her shoulder, she spun around glaring at him with cold unfeeling eyes.
"What was that about in the kitchen?" Robin asked. Raven lightly tapped her temple.
"I can read minds. Yours was open as a book. Now I realize that I'll never be as good as Starfire." Raven said with tears in her eyes.
"That was wrong of you to go through my mind like that. Hate to say it but this is the first time I have ever truly been disappointed in you Raven." Robin said before stalking off.
"I could not help it. I was weak and could not control whose thoughts entered my mind. It's not my fault!" Raven yelled falling to the ground by her bedroom door. Robin turned around and took in the sight of her pale trembling form.
"I'm sorry Raven. I shouldn't have said those things and it was mean of me to put one person over the other. Forgive me?" Robin asked with a small smirk.
"Always." Raven whispered looking up into his eyes. Robin's face inched closer to hers and just when his lips brushed hers Ravne turned into her shadow form "Maybe some other time Wonder Boy." Raven said before disappearing through the wal to her room. Robin smirked before heading back to the others.
'I'll get you yet my minx.' Robin thought as he walked back.
