"Mind if I join you, Raven?" Starfire asked as she walked up to the other girl. Raven made no reply back. Raven jumped up in the sky and flew off. Starfire followed after her. They flew in the sky for some time and then Raven landed on the tallest roof top of the city, Starfire soon landed after her. The view was beautiful. The sun was setting and the sun touched the ocean, creating a red-orange streak in the sky. The clouds were gray and the scene looked like a beautiful painting. "Beautiful..." Starfire said as she eyed the scenery. They stayed silent as they looked out into the horizon.
Raven enjoyed the calm feeling. She only felt like that when Starfire and Renseia was around. But her connection with Renseia was different from her connection with Starfire. She couldn't quite put it into words but she knew there was a distinct difference between the two connections. Raven broke her gaze from the sunset and looked at Starfire. She observed the other girl. 'Still looks so innocent...' Raven thought to herself. Starfire's eyes were closed as she listened to the wind. Raven then turned her gaze back at the sun. Starfire walked closer to Raven and stood beside the now taller girl. She too closed her eyes and inhaled the fresh air.
"Raven?" Starfire whispered, her eyes still closed. She could feel the comforting warmth she always felt around Raven.
"Hmm?" Raven replied as she began to feel a familiar feeling, she was at peace.
"Remember when we watched the horror movies and you comforted me because I was really scared?" asked Starfire.
"Uh-huh." Raven said as she closed her eyes. She could also feel a comfortable, calming feeling spread through out her body.
"Remember I slept in your room that night?" asked Starfire. She wanted to let Raven remember their times together. She was hoping that remembering would help ease Raven's mind.
"Yeah... I was teasing you about being scared." said Raven. 'I'm letting myself remember.' Raven told herself.
"Remember when we went to the movies and then went to that pizza place?' asked Starfire. Raven nodded at her. "That was the same night you took me to your secret place.." Starfire said.
"Uh-huh..."
"You think things could go back to being like that again? Think we can be friends again?" Starfire asked, her voice filled with hope. 'Who knows maybe more someday...' Starfire added the last part in her mind. Raven turned head and looked at Starfire's eyes. She tried to turn away but she could not. She could Starfire's eyes shining, staring into her own. She walked towards Starfire, never breaking away from the looking at the other girls eyes, and stopped only a couple of feet away from the other girl. Raven gave Starfire a neutral look, but then Starfire looked into Raven's eyes and saw that they were filled with so many emotions. There were so many emotions and Starfire couldn't see what they where. 'Still so hard to figure out...' Starfire thought to herself. That was Raven for her. The girl never really talked about her feelings, and more than half the time Starfire didn't know what Raven was thinking. Starfire found confused and worried about what Raven was possibly thinking and what Raven must be feeling.
Minutes passed and the girls were still looking into each other's eyes, trying to determine what the other was feeling. Starfire could see the anger and the confusion in Raven's eyes. There was some thing else there but the anger clouded it. Raven could see the hope in Starfire's eyes glistening brightly. She could also see determination and also some confusion in the red headed aliens green orbs, however she noticed that the ray of joy that seemed to always surround Starfire was nonexistent. The usual perkiness wasn't in the girl's eyes. They looked lonely. 'I could see the loneliness and I can sense the emptiness...' Raven thought. Raven still hadn't answered the question.
"What are you feeling right now?" asked Raven as she gazed at Starfire.
"I feel safe." replied Starfire without any second thought as she looked back at Raven.
"Why safe?" Raven asked as she stepped closer towards Starfire.
"I always feel safe around you..." Starfire said as she took the courage to step forward, towards Raven.
"..." Raven stayed silent as she looked into Starfire's eyes and saw that the girl wasn't lying. She could see the sincerity in the other girls eyes. 'She's being honest... but what can this honesty mean?' Raven thought to herself.
"What are you feeling right now Raven?" Starfire asked, trying to get back on Raven's good side. She didn't want to just jump out and confess her love for the other girl because she was scared of how Raven would react. She also wanted to know what happened back then. She wanted to know why Raven abandoned her, even after Raven promised she's stay by Starfire's side. She also wanted to know why Raven was so angry. 'I want it to be like how it was back then...' Starfire thought in her head. 'If... no not if, WHEN things go back to normal, then I'll tell her.'
Raven gazed into Starfire's eyes, not knowing whether she should answer the question. All she did was look at Starfire. She could feel again. She remembered her talks with Renseia and how Renseia said that she should talk to Starfire to get her side of the story. 'Maybe Renseia was right.' thought Raven. 'No what the hell am I thinking? She hurt me once... if I let her in again she'll hurt me again. I don't know if I can take that pain.' Raven thought as she argued with herself. 'But...' Raven told herself. Since she could not break away from Starfire, she stared into Starfire's eyes, into Starfire's soul. She was hoping to see something there that she would disapprove, something that will make her angry, but Raven failed. The longer she stared into Stafire's green depths, the more her anger faded away.
"Confused..." said Raven as she took a step closer to Starfire. They stood only a couple of inches away from each other.
"What are you confused about?" asked Starfire as she looked up at Raven's partially covered face. Starfie reached behind Raven and pulled back her hood, giving her a clear view of Raven's face.
"Everything." Raven whispered.
"What do you mean?" Starfire whispered back.
Raven brought up her hand. She used her knuckles to caress Starfire's face. Starfire leaned into Raven's touch. Starfire could feel a spark spread throughout her whole body and she let out a small smile. Raven didn't fail to see Starfire's smile. Raven stroked Starfire's cheek and brought her hand down to Starfire's chin. She stared deep into Starfire's eyes, as if she was searching for some hint of imperfection. She could only see beautiful emerald jewels staring at her.
Raven opened her mouth and was about to reply but then their moment was yet again ruined when a big explosion occurerd beneath them. The turned their faces to look at where the explosion occured. They flew up in the sky, the look in their each other's eyes saying that they'll continue their 'Talk' later on. They headed for the smoke and landed in the center of it. They eyed their surroundings and quickly saw the cause of the destruction.
