Chapter 5
Interlude
The sun was rising over the sleeping city,the morning treacherously came and stole Raven's chance of getting any sleep.It was around five when she finished meditating,but was still a bit shook up.She managed to remember parts of her dream;the emblem with the eye,rising above vast armys,the war itself,and a beautiful smile.
Never the less,the war looked like it was a scifi movie preview and the emblem was the only thing that seemed familiar to her.It was…almost demonic.It was an half opened eye with three thunder bolts.They were all pointed down.One in the middle and one on the left and right lower corner.The eye and the bolts were golden.The background was dark purple.
All royal colors.
Raven slowly started to undress in order to shower.The water was cold like ice,just as she liked it.Her body went numb from the cold and she started to scrub herself.For some reason she felt dirty,like she was watching something she didn't need to see.
A sudden wave of burning pain rushed through her and she almost screamed.She fell down and started to cry,with her last shred of discipline she coated the bathroom in black power,making a sound barrier.
The pain was gone.It dissappeared.Raven looked around.She wasn't attacked.Did her demon side attack the human in her?No.Her emotions were frozen.
Again,the feeling of epic events to come overwhelmed her,but this time she felt a trace of joy.

''Robin.'' Raven silently called the boy wonder.
''Morning Raven,had nice dreams?'' he asked,not stopping his training.He was hitting a large sack with his hands.His speed was remarkable.
''No.We need to talk.'' The stoic said,looking at him with even more serious look than usual.
''I'm listening.'' Robin said and stopped the exercise.If Raven looks so serious,it can't be something trivial.
''We should be more careful.I felt something…something bad is going to happen.We should be prepared.That's all.''
''Are you sure?'' he asked.Robin learned to trust Raven's visions and hunches.
''Absolutely.'' She simply said.
''Well…I can make the team train harder but I don't think it would be smart to freak them out.Let's keep this between us.''
''Agreed.Thank you for listening.'' The girl disappeared in darkness shaped as a raven.
Robin continued his training,now even more determined to reach perfection.Thats why he wakes up at five every morning,thats why he wears himself out in practice.Thank you,Batman.
A very sleepy Starfire just flew into the kitchen and mumbled a ''Good morning,friend'' to a Raven.The violet girl was drinking her herbal tea and reading newspapers.The stronger sister was preparing a healthy tamaranian breakfast.Raven lighted a cigarette and Cyborg just passed by and said his usuall ''It's not good for ya.''Beast Boy will be in bed for the next couple of hours.
The Titans were gathered and Robin gave them the new training schedule.All except Raven complained,but Robin was not to confuse.Despite the new spartanian training,Raven had a day off.And as usuall she changed her clothes and went to her favourite park.She found a good place under a tree and started reading her book.Except the Titans she didn't have any friends,her social life was dead.
The book was good,really good.But she couldn't help it.Tears started forming in her eyes and even if her emotions were frozen she couldn't stop.Luckily she had her sunglasses on.The pain she felt inside was the pain of a lonely person.Sure,she had great friends,but friends are friends and love is…non existant.
Raven never loved.
And who could love a half demon with defective emotions?
A exorcist perhaps?
No.Raven needs someone she can't find,someone like her.Again,she blessed her solitude and cursed her loneliness.
OK.R&R.A bit short I know but I just needed to write a Interlude.Next chap contains a sexual intercourse between Blackfire and Ensis,training and…just read it!
