Chapter 2: my ignorance
"Damn. Damn Damn Damn Dammity Damn Damn!" She thought as she levitated across Jump City Park, still upset that she had blown her chance for a nice relaxing home to be in with people that wanted to help her. She knew that green little elfish boy only wanted to her to be safe and comfortable. Hmm, funny, no one ever cared for her at all. She had gotten through fifteen years of being alone and doing everything herself. She was now starting to get sick of being alone, it was nice at first but now it was just purely depressing.
While she floated across the grass, not making a sound, She saw a little girl crying next to the pond. As she began to approach behind her, a man came darting out of the bushes, waving some metal rod that looked painful. This man had obviously intoxicated himself to a full drunken angry state as he approached the little girl. "Little bitch! Trying to run away from me are you? I'll teach you to not run from your daddy!" He began to raise the steel rod back and then brought it down with tremendous force on the young girl's back. She screamed loud enough to raise the dead as her father continued to beat her again and again. Raven could not stand it anymore, she had been watching this whole ordeal from behind a fence and was really pissed. This scene had reminded her of Trigon and how he beat her and tried to destroy her. Raven's hands glowed death black with a furious energy throbbing, waiting to be released. " Azarath, Metrion Zinthos!" She yelled, as she blasted the drunken man from the helpless girl. He flew about twenty feet before crashing into the pond and getting soaked. Raven came over and knelt down by the little girl. She tried to get up and run, but her body was damaged badly. " Shh, it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." She cooed, being as gentle as possible with the frightened nine year old. As she looked over the girl's shoulder, she saw red splotches appearing on the tee shirt. "That bastard." She thought as she put her hands on the girl's wounds. Muttering to herself, the cuts and bruises began to disappear until she was completely healed. Raven looked down at the shocked child, who absolutely did NOT know what was going on and realized that her back didn't hurt anymore. " Thank you." She gasped in amazement, still trying to grasp everything that was happening. Raven, "What's your name?" the girl replied, "Silvia, what's yours?" " Raven,... Listen, you need to get back to your house and make sure your father doesn't get in until he's truly sorry for what he's done, okay?" The little girl nodded and then got up and walked out of the park. Raven looked across the lake to see the intoxicated man crawling out of the lake. The groundskeeper found his and carried him off, muttering about police and charges. Raven had a little party inside her head knowing she had stopped a child from being as helpless as she had been with her father. "You know, you would really look good as one of us." came a voice from behind her. She turned slowly to see the group of four she had met before. Raven, "Just how long have you been there?" Robin, "Long enough to know that you a true hero. A teen titan at least. If it is alright with you, we'd like you to be a member of our team." Raven, "But I chased you all away and threatened to crush you. How do you take me in after that?" The green one spoke, "Rae...Rav...Raven! that's it, you just helped a little girl from getting beaten to death. THEN, you healed her somehow I don't know. You showed that you're someone who cares for people as we do and that earns you a place in our team and home." The redheaded one with orangish skin spoke up then, "It is our wish that you come with us to our home, Please?" Raven looked around at the group. They seemed innocent enough, sort of like a family. A family of superheros. Raven, "Okay, I accept."
