Olvidarás me
Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy all made their way to Raven's room. Despite the late hour the boys felt that Raven was the only one that could do anything about Tear and that Tear had to go. Robin banged his fist on Raven's door, he knew he would have to be firm in order to stand up to a not so pleased Raven and this was why he was over doing the mob leader act.
The gray door cracked open far enough for Raven to appear in the doorway, lilac hair somewhat messy, baggy black T-shirt that was leaning to the right too much exposing a white bra strap and shoulder, eyes set on Robin in a death glare. Unbeknown to the boys was that Raven had finally quieted Starfire down and had just fallen asleep. Awakening Raven once again made her very irritable and the death glare she gave Robin would have stopped anyone cold.
"What?" Raven snapped. She was not getting the sleep she wanted and was making that known.
Robin with a purpose became Robin please don't hurt me. "Umm…Me and the guys were thinking and eh…"
"Are you just going to stand there all night making noises or will you actually say something important?" Raven said leaning towards Robin who couldn't help but take a step back. Cyborg and Beast Boy followed suit even though they had Robin as a human shield between a pissed Raven and themselves.
"We want you to talk to Tear and get rid of him somehow." Robin told Raven.
Raven gave Robin a look that said that that was a very lame excuse for waking her up. "Why?" Raven asked.
"Well he's a killer, cold hearted killer, too secretive, arrogant, and a rapist. for a few reasons." Robin responded.
Raven thought for a moment. Having breakfast in bed was a nice perk, he was a treasure vault of demonic information, and he did have a way of making those few days pass easier. On the other hand he was arrogant, had embarrassed her publicly and privately numerous times and a very cold person overall. Robin's late point sent shivers down Raven's spine when she remembered the little incident she had had with him during her period. Though he never did anything to her Raven had been truly terrified by the experience though she hid it as usual.
"Fine." Raven replied before shutting her door. Raven's thinking was that she could do it in the morning once she had gotten some sleep.
The boys, feeling that they had accomplished something all, went to their rooms to get some rest themselves. Robin crawled into his bed, gave his clock, which read 3:00 AM, a glance, and proceeded to drift off into slumber land not noticing that his partner was for once not with him in bed.
Tear stood unalarmed as a Gate opened up on the wet Titan Tower roof. The purple and blue flames flickered in the rain as two figures came through it. One was an elderly looking man, his age clearly shown on his otherwise sharp features and baldhead. He was dressed in a proper suit and seemed quite unconcerned about his own clothes getting wet as he held an umbrella over the other person. In his other hand was a silver briefcase.
The other was a young woman clothed in white flowing robes. Her shoulder length golden locks and blue eyes were her most apparent feature save for the two wings attached to her shoulders, one on each side. The wings were large and folded as they were now, covered her entire back.
The Gate closed as the girl ran through the rain and embracing Tear.
"I've missed you father." The girl told Tear who hugged her back.
"I've missed you too, Maria." Said replied before kissing the top of her head.
The other man shook his head at the girl before calmly walking over and placing the umbrella over Tear and Maria.
"Good to see you too Jacob." Tear said to the older looking man.
"As it is to see you, my Lord." Jacob replied in a matter of fact voice.
Tear smiled a genuine smile. Jacob was his usual formal self despite all of the centuries the two had known each other.
"Well let's have a look at you Maria. It's been a while since I've seen you last." Tear said as he gently pried his daughter's arms away from his torso.
Maria took a few steps back and turned around a few times. She was sporting a new hairstyle with her hair in a high ponytail; her wings had gotten bigger, and she was taller. In fact everything had about her had grown as could be expected with the passage of time. A decade wasn't a great stretch of time but still long enough for some changes to have occurred. Tear could see that his daughter was beginning to develop her womanly curves and that he would soon have his hands full with keeping would be suitors at bay. Of course his name and reputation would help somewhat in that field but some beings would go to great lengths to just date an angel. They were, after all, the pinnacle of beauty on this plane.
"My how you have grown, Maria. You look more like your mother with each passing decade." Tear told his daughter who showed a tint of pink on her fair checks. "Come, let's get you out of the rain and into bed. You must be tired from the journey." Tear said motioning his daughter to follow him. Maria skipped next to her father and hung onto his arm as he led Jacob and her out of the rain into the Teen Tower.
"This will be your room. Jacob, you can take the one next door. Why don't you get ready for be Maria while I talk with Jacob?" Tear suggested to his daughter who whisked into her room quite happily.
"She's grown." Tear said to himself.
"Indeed sir, a decade does that. May I inquire as to what alias you are chosen this time?" Jacob asked.
"They call me Tear though they know my name."
Jacob raised an eyebrow for this was a most unusual situation if the habitants of the Tower knew his master's name.
"There are five of them, Robin; their leader, Starfire; his alien lover, Cyborg; a large half-human half-robot, Beast Boy; a shape shifter, and Raven. She is Di'Candra."
"So she is real after all." Jacob commented.
"You doubted?"
"Rumors suggested that she was just a girl, a Goth as it were, no more." Jacob explained.
"Her powers have yet to manifest in ways other than dark energy. She even has trouble controlling that source of power. Perhaps Maria could teach her how to properly use her powers. Dark energy is not all to different from light energy is it?"
"Only as much as different as home and here but she can teach her." Jacob replied.
"Good. Speaking of which, how is the home front and what prompted this sudden visit?" Tear asked.
"Your plot was uncovered. A coup was thrown and only a few stayed loyal to your image of Evil. Most have sided with Telir. The servants put up a defense while I got your daughter out. Having nowhere to go we tracked you down." Jacob said gravely.
"How long ago?" Tear asked urgently.
"The attack on your manor came 48 hours ago. That's how long it took us to find you with the directions you had given me. They can't be all that far behind if they followed us." Jacob told Tear.
"They won't have followed you. Telir would have used this swing in momentum to try and break the seals on the throne. With this much support my wards will not hold long. Once he has the Throne of Blood in his possession he will be the ruler of the Hells. I will be a rebel once more. I will need allies to stem the tides once Telir unleashes his forces to remake this part of the plane." Tear muttered half to Jacob and half to himself. Looking at Jacob Tear spoke swiftly, "Time will be short. Shore up wards and other defenses here. I'll go and to find support where I can. With luck they will track me down instead of Maria and I can battle unhindered. I'll keep in touch but should I skip a contact assume I've fallen. Should that happen get Maria someplace safe, wherever that may be."
"As you wish my lord. However I shall remind you of the fight you owe me." Jacob stated serious but ended with a light note in his voice.
"At the Pillars old friend, at the Pillars." Tear smiled while responding to the age-old joke between them. Then he vanished into darkness.
The clouds of last nights showers cleared and the sun shown in through Raven's windows onto her face. Not wanting to wake up Raven stayed half asleep while the rest of her thought over what Robin had told her last night. He did have some good points about Tear; he was a demon after all and coldly admitted to doing a lot of heinous crimes and that seemed a good reason to get rid of him. Naturally Robin's concern for Starfire came into play but Raven had her own reasons to keep the secretive figure around.
He was a wealth of knowledge she could tap into if she could only figure out how. Tear could tell Raven about herself and her tainted heritage, all Raven had to do was to find a way of getting the information out of him. Tear also had a way of making Raven feel important to him and Raven liked being important to someone. Tear may have just needed her for his political agenda but at least he treated her nicely, most of the time, and made her feel wanted. That was something that Raven had never felt before, the feeling of being needed and important. She had joined the Teen Titans in hope (as little as she afforded herself) to finding that feeling but she turned out as expected; an outcast in a group of outcasts. True, Raven was friends with the team but it wasn't the same. She was half demon and Raven was sure that if Tear, a full blood, went she would be next. She had the least control over her powers and was the Devil's own after.
In the end Raven decided to let Robin take care of his problem with Tear. Raven smiled wearily to herself, the thought of Robin, the team's short but very able leader, throwing out a 5,000 year old Demon would be difficult but Raven decided it would be even pay for all the girl things she had had to explain to Starfire.
Thinking of the redhead Raven remembered that Starfire had spent the night in her room. A quick reach back had Raven's hand smacking Starfire in the face which caused the rudely awaken girl to scream. Out of surprise Raven screamed as well, Star's sudden movement and noise scaring her.
Raven's bedside lamp exploded.
Starfire screamed again. Raven screamed again.
Her mirror shattered scattering glass everywhere. More screaming ensued. Fairly quickly everything in Raven's room was appeared to be destroyed and the doorway was filled with 5 faces looking at the two girls as they sat on Raven's bed clinging to each other.
A/N: Ok I know that this is short for the time I've been absent but I had to take a break lest I would have cracked myself. The end of the first quarter swung around the tests came fast and furious. Wednesday I had 3 tests alone. Well I've had my first school break (first in 8 bloody weeks) so I'm composed once more and you can expect regular updates. I've planned things out and for those of you that are piping about Robin and Star they will be fixed really quickly so stayed tuned. For those that wanted more action between Tear and Raven that is coming two but not for a pair of chapters or so. The title for this chapter is "You will forget me." I've notice no one notice my math error in Chapter 14. I had to which some dates to make things work out right because if things stayed how they were Tear would have never have fought in Broken Wall, he wasn't even born yet! And a HUGE THANKS to everyone for pushing this thing over the 60 mark! does little happy dance I'm done now. RR!
D-I-WaRrIa: You seem to be a regular reviewer and I appreciate that. Yes Robin is an idiot; he is just 16 after all. And Star, poor Star, she doesn't know how things are on our crazy planet and love is probably the craziest thing we have. So she feels she has to compete on Earth terms in order to get Robin and naturally BB and Cyborg aren't helping as you can see. Yeah Raven should follow her own advice but she's Raven, remember? She can't show emotion (or at least very little) or else things go BOOM! Look at her room now. And to your final question about the plot, here's a little known fact; in the movie Casablanca the writers didn't know what they were going to do for the last few scenes and wrote it all up on the spot. In other words I just sit down and type with a few vague scenes I want to get to. How I get there is anyone's guess.
BlackShield: Another faithful reviewer. Thanks for the review and hope the chapter(as terrible as it is) was worth the wait.
Terra Basher: As fore mentioned Robin and Star aren't being broken up and will be fixed really soon. They're my fav couple on the show.
Serena 10467: As posted on the summary Tear is my OC paired with Raven despite an age gap of 5001 years. That will all come to pass in time. I have a very (hopefully I can pull it off) fluffy scene planned. I just have to get there… I couldn't bring myself to break up Star and Robin so I guess Cyborg and BB can live. Besides I have plans for Cyborg… Could you please use capitals in your next review? I love getting them but it's a tad bit hard to read things that are all strung together. Thanks.
Mareigurl: Glad that you like the story, hope you keep reading and reviewing. This will sound stupid but what is Dante's Inferno?
Voltor: You're right; this is just the beginning...
