Just Don't Think
Unbalanced
As Raven walked to the kitchen after her usual morning meditation she began to let her thoughts wander. The first thing her mind zipped to was Divinia and her confession last night. The demoness glided into the common room her eyes glazed over with thought. It wasn't until she collided into the coach that she realized where her was. Shaking her head and cursing at her own stupidity she rubbed where her leg had hit the edge. She thanked the time for being so early that no one was up yet, or so she thought. Raven glanced around the room until her eyes stopped moving, focusing all attention on Divinia who was standing in the middle of the room staring at Raven with eyebrows raised and a grin on her face.
"So early morning staring contests are how you start your day," Divinia said not breaking eye contact with Raven. Raven frowned and looked elsewhere. Ignoring Divinia's grinning figure Raven walked into the kitchen. About to reach into the cupboard for her mug she noticed that there was food, everywhere. It was all perfectly laid out, perfectly prepared. Raven glanced back at Divinia who had just walked into the room. Divinia looked at it all.
"Did I ever mention I have way too much time on my hands?" she asked as she looked at the food. Raven shook her head noticing that the food was separated into five different areas: vegetarian in one, all meat in another, a single bowl of cereal in another one and a cup of coffee, and some unrecognizable substance in another. Aside from all the other food was a mug of steaming tea and a piece of toast, no butter. "I think I pay way to much attention to what people eat, then again I have no choice on that subject." Divinia smiled brightly and started to walk away. Raven mumbled thanks and grabbed the mug, taking in its warmth. She sipped it, and sat up straighter in her chair, suddenly wide-awake.
"Great Azar!" she exclaimed her eyes widened even more as the full force of the flavor enveloped her tongue. Divinia turned around her face startled, wondering what was wrong. "Where did you get this?" Raven asked. Divinia looked confused for a second. "Tea," Raven said answering Divinia's unasked question.
"Oh," Divinia paused for a second "well, I guess I just always have a handy supply of Azar's tea with me?" Divinia stated but it was more a question than anything else as her face turned to one of innocence.
"No one was allowed to drink the tea of Azar except the Azarathians. Your not Azarathian obviously, so how did you get the tea?" Raven was glaring at Divinia trying to see through the shell of innocence that covered her face. "Did you steal it?" Divinia looked at Raven as her face suddenly broke out into a smile.
"Are gods exempt from that rule? I was given that tea as an offering so don't worry about it. I don't steal unless of course its food." At this Raven looked at her hands that were now devoid of food. Raven glared at the goddess who now sat on the counter happily waving the piece of toast. The next second the toast was back in Raven's hand and Divinia was standing by the door about to go out but she turn around looking at Raven her face now free of any smile.
"Don't be so suspicious about everything. Everyone has faults even you." With that Divinia disappeared. Raven opened her mouth to say something but at that moment Robin walked through the door.
"Morning raven," Robin greeted her with a strange look on his face. "What? See a ghost?" he asked lightly as Raven remembered her mouth was still open.
"No, just a weird goddess." Raven said shaking her head as an image of last night flashed through her mind. "There's breakfast." Raven stated as she nodded to the counter. Robin's eyes followed her indication. Surprised he looked at the food.
"What did she want to miss the morning battle of breakfast?" Robin asked as he took the cereal bowl over to the table and began to read the paper. "There's training today." Robin said still reading the headlines.
"You want me to tell the team I suppose." Robin nodded. Raven walked out of the kitchen heading to her room. Once Robin was left alone he sighed, thinking. He wasn't sure how Divinia's presence was going to affect the team's performance and well, balance. So far it had always just been the five of them in this tower but now there was one more. He decided that the first step to be taken was to get Divinia settled into place. One thing that would help would be a permanent room. Deciding that the best place for her to stay would be on the third floor where Raven and Robin had their rooms. Raven wouldn't like it but she would get used to it. During his train of thought Robin failed to notice the others had already gotten up and were eating. They were noisy to be sure but they seemed… quieter this morning. 'It must be the fact that there is no reason to argue' robin thought as he got up and put his bowl in the dishwasher.
He had a couple of hours to kill since as usual the training would take place at ten. As he walked to his room he finally realized that someone was following him. He turned around and took a fighting stance but no one was there. Shaking his head he relaxed. Right then someone decided to tap his shoulder. Robin jumped; mad at himself for seeing that someone was behind him. Divinia giggled at the expression on Robins face, a mix between anger and surprise. His eyebrows were furrowed but his eyes were wide.
"What," robin said anger in his voice. Divinia just smiled at him not at all miffed by his tone.
"Want to go swimming?" She asked. For a second her normal outfit changed to a bathing suit indicating her question. "Everyone agreed since the weather is, well, perfect. Yes even Raven agreed to at least come outside. I think she just wants to keep an eye on me." Divinia said this with a smile. Robin had realized she smiled very often just like Starfire. There was something though that differed in their smiles. Starfire's was all innocence but Divinia's changed constantly. Sometimes it was mocking or sarcastic and sometimes it was kind and understanding. It was also her way of being immature even though Robin was positive that she wasn't at all immature when it came down to it but he guessed that sometimes it was easier to act young and carefree (or at least as young as she could be since in reality she was 122 years old). Robin wished he could smile like that but he could never just shrug everything off. Everything had to be analyzed. Actually he wished everyone could be so…. optimistic…no that wasn't it…. Relaxed was the word. He wondered how she did it.
"Raven agreed? She's actually coming outside swimming?" Robin asked in complete disbelief. 'Score' his mind silently cheered. 'I might actually get raven to do something with me… us.'
"Yup, now come on." Divinia urged as she took of down the hall.
Robin stood there for a minute after she left. She was going to upturn the balance of the tower, he just knew it.
First off: I am so sorry for not updating. It has been so hard finding time to write this but I have. I hate school right now since it is the thing that produces work so therefore must be evil. Anyways I am happy I finished this chapter even though I am not too thrilled with the product but what's done is done.
Second thing: thanks to those who reviewed or even read this. I hope more will review though. (Please do). Anything you would like to say say it. I respect all criticism (except pairing flames since those are just childish). Hmmm… now I've said too much, oh well.
Happy reading
