Hi there people. Hope you enjoyed my last chapter. ;) So here's another installment.
The next day, Raven reflected upon the past day's experiences... She had gone to church, let God blast her father into oblivion (lol), and been released from bondage of her negative sides... What else had she missed out? She just seemed to have that nagging feeling that she had missed out an extremely important issue...
Just then, Beastboy popped out of nowhere and asked Raven, 'Yo dude. Are you really you? You actually went to church to get baptized or something?"
"Uhhh... yeah... I AM me." said Raven grudgingly as she tried to focus on what she missed out the previous day. Then it clicked. Beastboy had just given the answer to her unasked question without even knowing Beastboy.
With that, she gave Beastboy a hug and thanked him before scooting off to the church again. "Okay. It's official. The world has gone nuts. Cyborg cackling? Raven AND church?" thought Beastboy as he gave the look which seemed pretty constipated. ;)
Meanwhile, Raven had reached the church and gone to meet the pastor. As soon as she found him, she filled him in on everything that had happened in her life and what she actually was. The pastor just sat there and listened to her patiently. After Raven was done speaking, he said, "Well, so you are half-demon huh? But God managed to remove your demonic side? That's great but you want to be baptized? I'm not so sure about that. How about going home and thinking about it before you come again eh? Baptism is an outward expression of commitment to the Lord you know. :) So you might want to have a firm standing with God before you get baptized."
Upon listening to this, Raven saw the logic in the pastor's words and nodded her head before leaving for home. Meanwhile, in the shadows far away from the church, someone was watching Raven leave. And whoever or whatever that was did not have any good intentions towards Raven. After Raven was out of sight, the mystery person or creature stepped out of the shadows and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Upon reaching home, Raven found that all the Titans were waiting for her in the common room. It appeared that they had founded out something about her. Raven knew what they were thinking due her telepathy and raised an eyebrow. Robin was the first to speak, "Why didn't you tell us you were a Christian. We could have discussed about it."
Raven then heard that gentle voice in her head telling her not to argue but just sate her faith and leave amicably. Thus, Raven replied, "Robin, I know either Beastboy or Cyborg told you this. Now let me just say this: My faith is a personal thing which you have NO right to control." With that, Raven left to go to her room.
About an hour later, Raven heard a knock on her door. Raven looked up from the bible she was reading (she's reading Matthew by the way.) and called out, "If you're here to tell me not to believe in God and it's all a facade, drop it and leave me alone."
However, there was a muffled reply, "It is me, Starfire, my friend. I would just like to know what is this faith thing you were talking about. I have asked Robin, but he has refused to answer."
With that, Raven opened the door and let Starfire in. "So, tell me, what is this faith thing?" asked Starfire in an EXTREMELY innocent manner.
"Faith is believing in something that you can't see. But for me, faith is knowing that something that is true is always around but I can't see Him." replied Raven, smiling.
"But who is this him? Have you found a boyfriend?" asked Starfire, excited as she jumped up and down, "Oh! Glorious!"
"Uhhh... not exactly. But I do love Him very much as He loves me." Raven replied again, this time, smiling at Starfire's naive ness.
"Then who is this him, friend Raven?" enquired Starfire, getting more and more confused by the second.
"Well, this him is who we call God. He created everything that is around us. From the mountains to the valleys, from the rivers to the seas, from the skies to the space. Practically everything that we know, even the things that we DON'T know about." explained Raven. (finally)
"Then He must be extremely powerful..." said Starfire with awe, "I MUST meet Him."
"Well, extremely isn't even enough to measure His power. More like almighty. But if you're interested, I could let you meet Him, but not in any normal manner. Well, interested?" asked Raven.
"Glorious! Can we go meet this God now?" asked Starfire in a very excited manner.
"Well, not now. But I'll take you to meet God tomorrow." said Raven.
With that, Starfire flew out of the room (If you watched Teen Titans, you'll know in order fdor Starfire to fly, she needs to be happy/excited.) and Raven smiled at the fact that she had probably just received a new sister. Not in family ties, but by the blood of Christ.
Meanwhile, however, the same mysterious figure from the shadows watched the Titans tower and cursed Raven for getting Starfire interested in knowing God.
"Curse you Raven! You might have gotten one of your miserable friends to accept God, but there are still three others..." and the mysterious figure swept off into the dark recesses of the sewers.
Well, what do you think? Possible anti-Christ entry here. ;) Might be one of the Titans. Who knows? Please rate. Thanks. If you don't mind, add me to msn: for the usual, I'll thank the people who have encouraged me again: IGAF-kun, Travis Hicks, Liz-Sakura, Mystyre
Well, God bless! ;)
