A/N:a bit of Raven ooc, but i pretty much explained why in one of the chapters through a character. And if you're still confused, Raven and Razor have gotten together (duh) and are slowly changing one another in the way the act. PS: Sorry if I took so late to update lately. Been moving.
"And this place is…?" Razor asked as he tried to rub himself warm. He, like the other Lythians, was too stubborn to change out of his usual wardrobe and thus, he suffered the consequence of cold weather. "This is Central Mall. The only mall in Jump City and closest one in thirty miles." Raven answered her boyfriend in her usual monotone voice. "Time to do a little shoppin." Cyborg clapped his hands together and started to rub them like he was getting ready to do some heavy liftin. "For?" He hated it when the Dark Knight gave him one word questions, much less, one or two word answers. "Christmas. Duh!" Beast Boy shouted out.
"And Christmas is…never mind. Forget I asked." "You'll find out soon enough." The metal Titan smirked. They all proceeded into the large building and stared around at the wondrous sight. "Time to go. Everyone split up and see what all you find. Rayz, you're with Rae, just in case you blow your top." "Whatever." Next thing he knew, he was being dragged by a small hand.
"All I want you to do is relax." Darien instructed the Man of Steel. They were in the Batcave, Superman was laid out on a table with Darien beside him. Nightwing, Batgirl, Batman and Robin were watching with awe as a miracle in front of them was about to take place. A strand of white energy started to flow from Darien and spread out over the paralyzed hero. From there, Superman was lifted off the table by the strand and encased in a light. For a few seconds he stayed there and when it was all over, he lowered down to the table as the light disappeared.
"How's your legs?" The Light Knight asked. Everyone watched curiously as Superman slowly moved a leg. "Incredible!" Batgirl blurted out. "Hmm" Batman barely spoke a word. Superman sat up and brought his legs off the table. Recklessly he hopped off the table and stumbled but was caught by the half-breed, "Seems like you'll need to get used to walking again."
Two hours, five "You've gotta be kidding me", Four "Someone just shoot me", and one "Don't even think about it!", Raven and Razor were sitting on a bench in the food court. Bags were piled around as Cyborg and Beast Boy approached them with bags of their own. "So, how'd it go?" Beast Boy asked everyone. "It was interesting." Raven commented. "Interesting?" "She had me try a few things on." Razor growled. "I needed a model and he volunteered." "Volunteers aren't forced with a thermal blade." "Well, you refused to listen to Starfire when she said to leave all of your weapons behind, not just the sword. And if you wouldn't leave it on your shoulder I wouldn't have grabbed it." Horrid images of Razor in a pink button up shirt posing for a psycho Raven holding a thermal saber flooded in their minds. This of course made Beast Boy and Cyborg shake with fright.
"Can we go now?" The Dark Knight asked impatiently. "Not just yet, we still got the Arcade." "Arcade?" "You'll see what I'm talking about." The large Titan couldn't believe that Razor didn't know what the Arcade was! Then again, it really wasn't a surprise. After about five minutes of walking, the group appeared at the Arcade. "Welcome to paradise." The small Titan alerted as they walked through. "Ah, my type of game. Area 51, one of the greatest ever. Yo Rayz, come check it out." The young McKlan cocked an eyebrow, "I shoot a gun all the time. A game with a fake one isn't exactly thrilling." "So you're gunna chicken out?" "What was that?!" "You heard me! Chicken! A white feathered chicken that runs when something higher up in the food chain is by!" "You want to end up in a ditch?" "Big threat coming from a little man."
With a growl, Razor grabbed the plastic gun and inserted a coin. "Now you're talkin!" Cy cheered as he grabbed his gun and inserted his coin. "Boys." Raven said in a disgusted tone. Needless to say, it was very interesting. Both were indeed skilled marksmen and fast with a gun. People would be more amazed if they saw under Razor's sunglasses to find out he was blind in his right eye since he was holding his gun in his right hand. Someone who's handicapped like that you'd think he'd miss a bit. But alas, he rarely missed. Just like his competitor. A large crowd surrounded the two as their scores were unbelievably high. Especially for someone who hasn't died yet.
"Give it up Rayz. You ain't going to win." "Lying is bad for the soul Cy." "Ouch, was that your machinegun power-up?" "Cocky aren't we? Heh, you can have it. We'll see who's accuracy is better than who's in the end." "Hey, that's not fair. You know I'll fire a few shots even after the guy is dead!" "Not my problem." "Yeah yeah." "Dude! When is this going to end!" Beast Boy cried out. His question was shortly answered, "Dammit!" Cy slammed the gun down as he got a game over.Less then a week later, Razor and Darien were soaring through the air, both tired from the days work. "Damn, for once I wish the battle is in our favor." The young one eyed knight cursed his luck. "That'll be the day. There's Mark." Darien pointed to the park as his partner gave a small nod. With that, the two landed on the ground in front of Mark and Kyre, the two themselves look like they went through hell and back. "You two ok?" Kyre stroke his white beard as he went into thought. "Aye, we are." "Did you find anything?" "No, not a clue."
"Hmm, I was just thinking." Mark spoke up. "I heard from Batman that they have a space station up in space that they used to use." "And?" Kyre looked at the eldest McKlan. "Well, I was just thinking. They said they quit using it after their team was killed and Blackfire said her ship was shot down in space around this planet." "Do you think?" "It's a possibility." "Then we know where he is." Darien leaned back on a tree. Silence struck the group as they all started estimate their current position and events. People walked back and stared at them with curiosity. For it wasn't everyday that you'd get to see a sight like that.
"Only me and Razor can enter space and survive." Mark said. "My armor has been modified to allow me to fly in space." Darien blurted out. "Maybe, but your suit's magical capabilities doesn't provide you with air naturally." "Well, we do have the water amulet, and that suit provides its' wearer with oxygen." "That capability only kicks in when the suit is submerged in water." "We'll send you two in space while me and Darien borrow a ship to join you two." Kyre butted in. "We need to prepare ourselves before we launch our attack." Razor spoke up for the first time since they arrived.
"Aye, you are right. Repair whatever needs to be repaired on your armors and stock up on ammo. We'll bring that station down." Everyone was in agreement, this might be their final battle and they need to be prepared for the worse. "We might as well get back before the others get worried." Said Darien.
The four entered the tower, lights were turned off and not a single noise could be heard, the recipe for danger. Swords were drawn and everyone's guard went up. Cautiously they stepped through the tower and checked behind doors one at a time. "Sense that?" Darien asked Razor, "Yeah. Coming from the living room." The four rushed as fast as their legs could take them toward the living room. As they came near, wings lifted, claws extended and aura appeared.
"Surprise!" Four voices shouted out. They were baffled. Everyone wasn't wearing their normal crime fighting attire, but, wore something to match the holiday. Red, green, white. Well, everyone except Raven who was wearing her usual leotard and cloak. Behind them was a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments and lights, boxes wrapped in colored paper with designs sat underneath it. "Merry Christmas friends!" Starfire ran over to Kyre and gave him a spine shattering hug.
Half an hour had passed as laughter broke out from the bottom. Everyone was enjoying the other's company, that is, everyone except Razor who was on the rooftop. The wind blew hard as night as now covering the city like a blanket. Snow drifted to the ground in impossible numbers. Raven approached him silently, her mind was questioning every possibility on why he wasn't down there with the others.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked. "Nothing really." "Then why are you up here?" "I really don't celebrate." "Any reason why not?" "It's just that, I've never had time to celebrate. Being so busy and all. Stopping to laugh and joke around with your friends to me is pointless." "Maybe, but it reminds us that we're alive." "Sometimes it hurts when I'm reminded that I'm alive. Sometimes I wish I fell in battle two years ago with everyone else." "People come, people go. You can't blame yourself for the past. But you can blame yourself if you your future because of the past." He turned around to face her, "I know. But with a past like mine its…"
Her finger covered his lips, "No need for you to dwell on it. You can't change it no matter how much you hate it. But you can make up for it by living a life in the future that you missed out on in the past." "Raven." Her arm reached above him, in her hand was a strange plant. "Know what that is?" "A plant?" "It's a mistle toe." "And?" "On Christmas, if your under a mistle toe with someone you must kiss them." As her last words finished, he leaned down and gave her a slow kiss. As if it was second nature, she dropped the mistle toe and wrapped her arms around him to kiss him back.
