As Starfire left the boy's swanky, lavish appartment, she suddenly found herself cornered by
three men wielding guns.
"Give us any money or jewelry you have!"
Demanded a short, fat, balding man.
Starfire quickly dug through her pockets, in search of spare change,
a peice of tamaranian crystal jewelry or something.
All she could find were some mints and a fly, which quickly flew out of her pocket.
She hadn't been to work in awhile so she didn't have any money.
The three men cocked their guns and pointed them at her.
"What did we fucking say? Give us your fucking money and jewelry."
Starfire searched her pockets again, yet still found nothing.
As she spoke, her voice trembled
"I... I do not have any money."
The men were getting irritated.
Just as they each pulled their guns' triggers and fired at her, she noticed the bullets had stopped
in mid-air and were shrouded in a black forcefield.
Before the girl could even blink, the bullets had fallen to the ground and shattered against
the pavement.
She looked to the sky and noticed a large raven approaching.
As the large, black bird landed, the fly that had flown out of Starfire's pocket
flew over towards the bird and landed on it's back.
The bird looked over at Starfire, then looked up and glared at the fly.
Starfire extended her hand towards the bird, but the bird simply
brushed her off and flew away.
The fly tapped the bird with it's tiny wing and spoke "shouldn't we go with her? maybe she needs
our help."
The raven responded "if she needed our help, she wouldn't have
abandoned us in the first place."
"If you hated her so much, why did you insist we stop and help her?"
The fly insisted.
The raven did not respond, it simply continued to fly away.
Starfire looked over at the men. Their faces were
pale white. They looked like they had just seen a ghost.
She figured it'd be best to run before they came to.
She flew into the air, towards the tower at the center of the harbor.
As she walked up, towards her room, she heard a noise
eminating from one of the rooms.
She located the sound and traced it up to Raven's room.
But how could that be if Raven was nowhere to be found and NOONE was allowed
in her room?
As she loomed closer, she heard laughing, emintating from the room.
She peeked through a crack in the door. She couldn't see
much but was able to make out a tall boy, with spikey hair.
He was in a funny position, moving back and forth as if he were stretching.
She continued to watch him and upon further inspection, noticed a few
tufts of dark purple hair fall off the bed.
Just then, a face emerged from underneath the boy.
She looked vaguely familiar.
She had angry eyes, coated in black eyeliner, which had actually
began to bleed off onto her cheeks. And...that red jewel on her forehead.
"Raven!" Starfire thought to herself. "But who is this boy?"
She closed the door and walked away from the room.
