Raven munched on her sandwich quietly, taking in what the three men around her were saying. Raven could feel her ears burning as she blanked out from the conversations and turned to see Petunia's rage full blue eyes staring at her before turning away in embarrassment. Raven felt, somehow, giddy at the thought of Petunia being jealous of her.

Raven watched one of the three males make goofy arm gestures and be laughed at. After escaping Petunia's flirting words, the man who had stood at the counter, about Raven's age, had come over to the table where Raven now sat, and introduced himself as Garfield.

Now Garfield, much to Raven's dismay, had slightly green hued skin and green hair with little animal crackers strung throughout his locks. So for the past half-hour, Raven had been resisting the urge to pluck those crackers right out of his hair and chuck them at him, but instead she just sat there and listened to the three men talk about food, clubs and whatever else it is that men like to talk about.

Raven looked towards the coffee cup shaped clock and almost dropped her sandwich at seeing the hour hand on the small black two and the slim minute hand on the five. 2:05 p.m. She gobbled down the rest of the sandwich and rushed up, graped her plates, mumbled a quick "Good Bye" and "Thank you" before hurrying of towards the front counter.

Raven strapped her black apron on again and placed her small red nametag on to her breast and went to serve the new and old customers of 'Barley's Coffee' and never noticed the pair of black/blue eyes that watched her almost every move, until their owner left the café.

6:27 P.M.

'Thank God' Raven thought, sweeping her way to the exit with the day's work of 12 hours and the small weight of a pay check, and quickly rushed off to the bus stop that would lead a bus to her that would bring her to her apartment building.

6:29 P.M.

Raven Thundered towards the big yellow rectangle that was now slowly leaving its stop. So she ran for all she was worth, her dark hair flying behind her in hopes of catching the bus. But did she make it? Oh no, the stupid thing just left, just like that, zoom bang boom. Raven slowly slowed into a stop. 'Dammit.' She silently cursed. A wet drip landed on her small, up tipped nose.

Raven groaned and looked up at the sky, gray, a cold, steely gray. Raven cracked her knuckles and picked up her black bag an: pretend, just for me, that she had it the whole time okay, just pretend that I had told you about it earlier okay? Please? and began her four mile walk home.

A bit later

Raven thrust her small silver key into the main apartment door, and breathed a, dry, breath while sweeping away her drenched hair from her eyes. She shut the door behind her, got her mail and made her way up the old smelly stairs to her small apartment, numbered 108.

At her room

A dry cough made Raven's stomach swell with anxiety. She shook her head and turned. "Ms. Horfed." Raven greeted her renter an if that's the right term, so sue me I still live with my parents, mumbles can't get very far with out a car. "How are you this fine day?" 'like I care.' The old Ms. Horfed nodded her steel gray head. "Raven. You know what day it is I hope." She asked clearly bored. 'What, is it my birthday?' "Yes, the third Friday of the month, rent day." Raven groaned at the prim lady, a clammy hand resting on her forehead.

Ms. Horfed coughed and blushed for the first time since little Jimmy had called her 'perty' and wrung her long bony hands together. Raven's dark and mysterious air, could do that to you. Ms. Horfed shook her head, "Actually, my dear Raven, there's…..something else." Raven's head snapped up, 'nonononono' Raven pleaded silently. "I, cough have to evict you. You'll be gone by Friday, next week. I am so very sorry." Ms. Horfed turned and left abruptly.

Raven stood there, at her old smelly door, and did absolutely nothing, she was being evicted, and she didn't have the money to rent another apartment room, Ms. Horfed's apartments were the cheapest she could find when she came to live in jump city. Dark tentacles of power began to form around Raven's feet and fingertips.

"Shit." Raven breathed, rushing into her small apartment and sat in a lotus position and began to meditate. Her powers were under a tight rein and hardly ever escaped, but on occasion did, and Raven know all to well what would happen if her powers and emotions the thing that drove her powers broke through. And the Azarathenian's had known the danger as well and had supplied her with a small, heavily magiced charm that dangled from Raven's right ear, but as every good thing has, it came with a price, she had to regularly meditate to power the charm that helped control her emotions and powers.

8:28

Raven slowly shook her head, and stood up from her mid-air lotus position, and set a determined look on her pale gray face, and set off toward Ms.Horfed's much larger apartment. Determined to find out why she was being evicted.

Other side of the building

Ms. Horfed sighed as she heard the sharp knocks on her wide wooden door. So, like any good, well respecting landlord would do when one of her renters was unhappy or needed help majority of the time she heaved herself up off of her nice cushy blue chair and shuffled over to the door, opened it and was, just a little bit, surprised at who she saw.

Soon, though, blinking herself out of her state, and nodded towards the man. "Good day, Mr. Wilson." The tall blond man nodded towards her. "So you've evicted her. Miss Raven I mean or so I've heard." He questioned softly. Ms.Horfed simply nodded again. "Yes, not to long ago." She stated, not at all concerned as of how he know about the eviction.

Wilson nodded, scrutinizing his plan; yes it should still work out.

Raven's POV

Raven breathed through her nose as she walked up the fourth set of stairs to reach Ms.Horfed's apartment, her words and actions tumbling through her head, she was determined to find out why she was being evicted.

Raven pounded on the wooden door that read 'Ms. Horfed' and waited, tapping her foot to an unheard beat. The door swung open, reviling an agitated looking Ms. Horfed.

"What?" She snapped. Raven was startled for a minute, the regained her composure. "I'd like to know why I'm being evicted." She told her coldly. Ms. Horfed nodded as she often does. "You're strange, supernatural. The others have been worried and concerned for their safety while you've been with us. That all?" Ms. Horfed asked raising a perfectly plucked eyebrow. Raven shook her head forcefully, quivering with rage. "No. That's all." She said spinning around and leaving.

Raven threw her clothes forcefully into her small leather suitcase, not caring that bathroom products were being flung through the air by small little black ravens. "How dare they." Raven muttered furiously. Furious at the injustice. How could they? "I'm just different." She mumbled, picking up the now discarded bathroom stuff, slung around the room by her mischievous magic had just dropped and went to play with the few dishes that she owned.

Raven groaned as she heard something shatter, sometimes she hated when her magic took a solid form. Helpful and time but what a nuisance.

8:49

Raven wiped the sweat from her brow, tired from all of the packing, and having to get rid of the annoying little magic ravens, so like most tired people do, she plopped down and began to read.

That was, until the door was pounded on. 'dammit' Raven growled, standing up and moving to the door.

"What?" she snapped. Opening the door quickly. There stood that stupid spiky haired boy from the café. He laughed at her words. Raven snorted and reeled through her mind, trying to remember his name…..ohhh yes, Richard. "Anyway couch." Richard began, breaking Raven's concentration. "Since we've been made friends." Raven rolled her eyes. "I was, well we were." He said stepping to the side, showing off the tall blond man, Tom and Garfield. "If you'd like to go to a club with us tonight?"

Raven blinked, thought it over, looked at her messy apartment and stepped away from the entrance allowing them passage into the small room. "Give me 5."
