Chapter 8: The Rose With Deadly Thorns

After he was done training Lucius was so dizzy he laid into Ravens lap, and she ran her fingers through his hair. After about five minutes he was asleep and she slept next to him holding his hand gently. Raven awoke to find him gone with a card left in her hand that had the ace of hearts on it. She giggled to herself and got up brushing off her cape then walking to the bathroom. She disrobed and got into the shower turning it on without looking and she screamed in pain at how hot the water was. "Who the hell takes a 105 degree shower!" She shouted to no one in particuler, quickly changing the temperature to a colder setting. Raven enjoyed the feel of the warm water flowing over her and stayed in there for about thirty minutes just enjoying the shower. She got out and wrapped a towel around her, walking twords her room she ran into Terra. "Hey Raven whats up?" Terra said smiling at her "Sleep good last night?" Raven smiled and looked at the lazy haunched figure of Beast boy who was now wrapped around Terra's waist. "Yeah but you probly had a more...exciting one." Raven said laughingly. "It's not like that Rae!" Beast boy said but to no avail as Raven had already gone to her room. "Its ok BB if she plays that card we can always bring up her and Lucius." Terra said not seeing the book flying to the back of her head from Ravens room.

Shiv woke up to Aedea's sweet voice and the smell of flowers. "Morning sleepy head! I hope you're hungry." She said brightly and kissed his cheek. She was wearing a red skin tight jumpsuit with red boots, her short black hair hung on the sides of her face. Shivs stomach growled as she said hungry "I guess thats a yes, I made some eggs and ham for you." she said as she handed him a plate. Shiv ate very neatly trying to impress his sister to his table manners. Aedea however was chowing down on her eggs and she almost swallowd her piece of ham whole. Shiv just laughed and followed suit, they both washed of the plates in the harbor and went back inside to find their little brother. "How are you little one? I havent seen you in forever!" Aedea said brightly and hugged him. "Just fine sister, I trust your flower shop i running well?" He said, happy that they were all back together again. "The flower shops a big success and I can finally buy all the things I need to live." Aedea said rustling his hair. Shiv sat down and remember the last time it was like this, about five years ago.

flashback

Aedea had made a big dinner to celebrate the success of thier last mission which had worn them all out. After dinner they all sat around and talked about what their plans were. "Well you might find it a little stupid..but I wanna run a flower shop." Aedea said to them both. Niether of them laughed if anything Shiv liked the idea, "Thats a great idea Aedea!" Shiv said and eating a helping of rice. "My dream is to have a software company in Tokyo that can finally harbor all my ideas." the smallest one said as he grabbed a sweet roll from the table. Aedea smiled knowing full well his dream was perfect for him, him bieng the one who made theyre weapons and gadgets. "Well i dont really have a dream as of yet..but I really want to find the one who killed father." they all nodded and went to eating the meal. Afterwords Shiv and Aedea walked to the roof and gazed at the night sky. The stars were so bright and they both loved bieng up there, the two of them were close and they wanted any chance to be together. "Its beautiful brother, I wonder which ones father?" Aedea said really showing her age of fourteen. Shiv walked up to her and hugged her from behind pointing at orions belt, "He's the middle one.. im sure of it."

Shiv was snapped out of his trance by a cry for help. It was coming from the street across from the warehouse in an alleyway. Aedea grabbed one of her smaller suitcases and headed out the door. "Hey sis, take no prisoners." Shiv said to her with a smile as she opened the suit case to pull out a precision rifle that had a telescopic scope on it. "Okay brother, i need to get my aim back anyway." she said as she raised the rifle to see a girl in the alley with a bunch of guys trying to rape her. She fired her silenced rifle at one of their heads wich caused it to explode, causing the others to panic. "Where the fu..." another ones chest was ripped open and he was blown about ten feet back. The girl looked on in horror as they all were cut down by an invisible force of death, taking off ones knees and hitting the other in the stomach. "GOD IT HURTS!!" the one who lost his legs screamed untill another round shot up his body making his head explode. The alleyway, now covered in blood and intrails, still held the girls who now soaked in blood and crying in sheer horror of the moment.

Lucius was on the roof top and was practicing his ninjitsu, hitting large rocks he had brought up and breaking them with clean cuts. He picked up a towel and wiped the sweat of his body, dressed in training pants and his gloves that were now in need of a good wash. He studied the sky for a bit before he heard the door open, standing in it there was Robin dressed in a silky type of red pants and a headband that read "fight". Robin walked over and Beast boy also was with him in black pants and a headband that read "Wolf". "Hey Lucius, me and Beast boy were wondering if you wanted to spare with us?" Robin said as he studied the rocks that had been cut by his chop. " Sure guys, ive been aching for a good fight since last week." Beast boy cringed still hung up on the blood thing. Lucius took his stance and Robin and Beast boy circled him. Robin ran at him and did a jump kick that was blocked by lucius's left arm, which pulled his leg and Robins chest was hit by lucius's right. Beast boy punched Lucius in the chest and kicked for his ribs but that was blocked by Lucius's arm and Beast boy was met with a hit to his forehead. Lucius smiled and flared his muscles, he liked the style they used but knew they had more up their sleeve. Robin did a quick three punches that were blocked but his leg suprised Lucius in the back of the knee. Beast boy was right behind him and he kicked Lucius in the back sending him forward over Robin. Lucius kicked the back of Robins head sending him into Beast boy hard. The both were dazed and said it was enough.

Starfire, Terra, and Jynx all were playing with Silky and talking about the boys. "Well Cyborg has been really loving to me and...we love each other." Jynx said blushing as she said love. Terra tickled Silky and she sighed in a "how romantic" tone, "Me and Beast boy are inseperable." she said dreamily. Starfire remebered all the things her and Robin had done together and she smiled, "Robin and I are extremly happy together." just then Raven walked in and was fixing two cups of tea, one for her and one for...! The girls all looked at each other with a shocked expression, were her and Lucius a real item! "I thought it was just they got along! Nothing that serious." Jynx said knowing raven had always kept her distance, even before she joined the titans. "Starfire, you know her best. What on earth's goin on here?" Terra asked dumbfounded. "i belive our friend Raven has finally found love." Starfire said gleefully not noticing Raven right behind her. "Starfire.." Jynx and Terra said pointing behind her and as soon as Starfire turned she saw Raven over her. "Raven um...how are you?" Starfire said noticing the cold piercing glare Raven was giving. "If any of you value life know this..laughter or cat calls will not be tolerated and if I catch wind of this getting to Beast boy. You wont like the result." Raven said with a sterness that all would freeze in. "You got it." they all said at once and Raven went back to normal. "I do like him a lot but im not ready yet alright." She said leaving them in shock because of her confession.

Aedea decided to go over and check on the girl and see if she needed help. Shiv and his brother both warned her but she wouldn't hear of it. "She's suffered a terrible ordeal abd humans aren't use to this thing hapaning." Aedea said resting her rifle on her shoulder and walking twords the alleyway. The girl was balling silently as she laid her head in her lap. "What if im next..I could die any second now and no one would know." she thought to herself as she heard some one approach her. "Are you alright?" she heard a sweet voice sing out to her. "Of course im not alright im in the middle of a bloody mess." she thought. The girl looked up and saw a girl about one year younger than her holding a large precision rifle. "Are you here to kill me too?" she said with not really fear but with wonderment. Aedea smiled "Of course not, I'm the one that saved you." The girl just looked at the wall across from her that was covered in the brains of the first shot. "I see." the girl said slowly passing out, Aedea bent down and picked her up. "Dont worry, we'll take good care of you little one."
