I'm in the middle of my exams, but heck. I felt like writing this anyway. ;) lol. Well, please read and rate again. ;) Oh yeah, for those who have been flaming me, CONSTRUCTIVE flames only. I don't need people discouraging me you know. Anyway, raven teaches Starfire something about miracles and how God is a God of miracles. So yeah. Hope you enjoy. ;)


The next morning, the first thought which came to Raven's mind when she woke up was, "Great! Another good day! Now... to look for Starfire."

With that, she freshened herself up and went around the Titans tower looking for Starfire. First, she looked in Starfire's room, and then checked to see if she was with Robin (hint hint). Then, she went to the kitchen and found Starfire there, trying to cook... "...What the heck is that!" exclaimed Raven from behind Starfire.

With a fright, Starfire threw the pot of mysterious substance up and would have landed on Raven if she hadn't caught it with her telekinesis in time. Then, Raven saw some of the substance had dripped onto the floor and burned a small hole through the floor. Raven looked at the hole incredulously, pointed at it and asked Starfire, "Really, what's THAT?"

"Oh! It is a Tamaranian sweet. I wanted to make a batch for our dear friends, friend Raven." quipped Starfire happily.

Raven looked at the hole again and asked Starfire, "Ooookay... What exactly are the ingredients in that 'sweet'?"

"Oh! Earth didn't have the actual ingredients, so I improvised! It's made a dung, mud, mustard, cheese, milk, tea, coffee..." Starfire stopped halfway as she saw Raven look VERY green and smiled sheepishly.

Then, Raven composed herself and told Starfire, "Never mind. How about I bring you to church to meet God now."

"OH! GLORIOUS! But... we need to have breakfast!" Starfire said.

"That's okay. We'll grab a bite as we pass by the shops." With that, the two girls went off.

Just as both of them were about to leave the tower, Raven felt a dark presence in the around her. Starfire then saw Raven's expression, and asked her what happened. Raven just replied, "It's nothing... it's kind of complicated. I'll explain to you another day..."

With that, they set off to get to the church. "Hmm... that can't be Trigon," mused Raven, "But why does that dark presence feel so familiar?"

Soon after, both of the girls reached the church and Raven went into the pastor's "office". Just then, the pastor looked up and smiled at Raven, "Hi! So you want to be baptized?"

With a jump, Raven realized that given yesterday's excitement, she hadn't considered baptism. Feeling embarrassed, Raven told the pastor the truth. Upon hearing what Raven had to say, he smiled and told her, "Don't worry Raven. You are in God's family, baptism is just to let others know your commitment to God and it's just something like a pledge (right?). But I'm happy that you managed to tell a friend about Jesus."

Raven just smiled to herself and asked the pastor if he could tell her how to speak to Starfire about God and how to get her to believe in Him. The pastor just smiled and told her, "pray about it first and let God speak through you. God will speak through you when Starfire's heart is ready."

With that, Raven thanked the pastor and left. As she headed over to Starfire, she saw her gulping down the mustard they had bought. Raven smiled at this and walked over. "Hey. It's time to go." Raven informed Starfire.

"But where is this God you told me about, friend Raven?" inquired Starfire.

"Well, let's go and I'll show you." smiled Raven.

Raven then led Starfire to a park. There, she pointed at a tree which was blooming with flowers and asked Starfire, "Tell me, what you see in that tree?"

"Why do you ask about this, friend Raven?" asked Starfire, puzzled.

"Just tell me." Raven replied simply.

"Well, I see a flower and some leaves... OOO! I see some butterflies as well!" exclaimed Starfire, excited.

"Right, now, let me ask you. Each of these are beautiful and unlike you have ever seen right?" asked Raven and Starfire nodded, "Have you heard of miracles?"

"Oh yes!" cried Starfire, finally understanding something in this conversation.

"Did you know that each of these is a miracle? Where do the trees and flowers start from?" asked Raven.

"Friend Raven, they came from a seed. Did you not know this?" enquired Starfire.

"Yes. I know. And let me ask: What does the young of a butterfly look like?" asked Raven again.

"A green worm thing." answered Starfire, confused again.

"Good. Now, tell me. How big a seed and how big is the tree? And how beautiful is the caterpillar?" Raven asked yet again.

"A seed is small and a tree is large. A caterpillar is... ugly?" said Starfire.

"Now look at it this way. How can such a small and easily-destructible seed become a big and strong tree? And how is it that an ugly green worm(caterpillar isn't a worm but oh well. )can become a beautiful creature?" asked Raven, answering Starfire's unspoken questions.

Starfire then had a small "revelation". So, it was a miracle after all! Miracles were happening all the time. The rains, the sun, the moon, the plants, the trees, life, death, birth, love... Each of these and much more was a miracle each!

Raven then let Starfire digest all the information and continued, "You know how the entire universe was created? God made it. It was NOT from some big bang. God created EVERYTHING! Right now, do you believe that everything we have now is from chance? Is the proper alignment of the planets just from chance? Is the continuous perfect orbiting all from chance? Were we all here by chance only?"

Starfire was extremely blown away after hearing all these. "Friend Raven," started Starfire, "It's very amazing. Let's go home. I need to think about all of this..."

---Later That Night---

There was a knock on the door and Starfire entered and cried to Raven, "Raven! I was so scared!"

Then she collapsed on the floor crying. Raven just stood there bewildered. Raven then asked what had happened but Starfire was too shaken to speak. Thus Raven searched through Starfire's RECENT memories. Even though they were jumbled up, she managed to get some information:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire was in her room musing about what she had learnt that day when a menacing voice snarled from nowhere, "If you EVER accept God into your life, you are a fool!"

"Wh-ho-o a-are you?" stammered Starfire, feeling fearful.

"It's not your business! That stupid, idiotic, Raven was fooled into thinking God existed! You'd better not accept God or else!" snarled the menacing voice again and it verbally abused God's name before it faded away, not before telling Starfire that she was such a fool for trusting Raven.

Then, Starfire ran to Raven's room...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A strangled sob woke Raven from her trance. Now Raven had a suspicion who that was. All she needed to do was check. "Starfire, I know it was frightening. But I need you to come with me to your room."

With that, Starfire meekly followed Raven into her (Starfire) own room. Raven then did a mental search of the room and mentally searched Starfire's memories of the demonic voice again. It confirmed her suspicions. "Anti-Christ..." whispered Raven under her breath...

Starfire just stared at Raven and heard her say the word 'Anti-Christ' and she immediately understood what had happened. And she was very afraid.


Hey there! Hope you like the cliffhanger. Starfire hasn't accepted God. So she's afraid. That might have been a spoiler. Oh well, please read and rate. Hope God touched you through this. ;)

God Bless!
