Okays peeps. Not going to say much. Here's the story.
Disclaimer: The Teen Titans I do not own.
The cloaked figure of the old woman that Star had just seen walked quietly down the streets of Gothem. Things were going just as they should have. She had to be sure that all the events played through, or else all would perish. Now all she had to do was find a way to keep Star from saying anything to her former self, or her daughter. She knew that Star was there when she had been talking to Jace. Even if she didn't already know it would happen, she would have known that she was there. She could feel her. What bothered her was how close Star had come to ruining everything. If it wasn't for the future Star finally telling her what had happened, Raven might not have been able to stop all of the nonsense. Star had come precariously close to unraveling everything that should happen. Raven thought back on the episode that had just transpired.
"Who are you!" rage pumped through the high girly voice. Raven turned around slowly, and even slower, she pushed back the hood of her cloak.
"Hello Star…I had forgotten how persistent you used to be before the Titans broke up."
Raven's cool violet eyes stared calmly into Starfire's wide, shocked jade green eyes.
"Ra – Raven?"
Raven gave a slight smile.
"What has happened to you…why do you look so…so much older?"
"It's what sixteen years does to you."
"But… how did you suddenly gain sixteen years?"
"I didn't Star. I am the Raven of the future. I am the Raven that Crow knows. Tell me…when were you planning on telling me that you had saw me talking to Jace? Why didn't you tell me sooner that he was here? I know you knew. Your future self told me. It does disappoint me that you never told me sooner, but late is better than never, huh?"
Star's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"How do I know that you are really Raven? You could be some robot that Slade built to fool me."
"Then tell me, how did I know about Jace or Crow. I can promise you that Slade won't know about Crow for a while, unless things are carried out the way they're supposed to."
Star's narrowed eyes turned to hard slits.
"What do you mean by that?"
Raven looked a bit upset that she let that slip, but then shook it off.
"I'm sorry old friend, but I can't tell you right now. Events must take place as they're supposed to. Just trust me. I need you to keep quiet about this until things calm down."
"Calm down?"
"Just trust me… if not me then, at least trust my past self… I won't allow any major harm to come…"
As the future Raven spoke, she faded quietly into the shadows.
Indeed, Raven had just escaped a narrow spot… and she knew that it wasn't over yet either. Raven gave a shuddering sigh that reverberated all around the silent alley. Raven suddenly stopped. There was someone near…and who ever it was wanted harm done to her. Raven turned slightly, just in time to see a hand with blackened armor strike out to her head and knocked her out in a single blow, and then Raven knew no more.
Hatred101: Well…how did you like it? yes no… hay peeps, I'm sorry that it took me so long to update…long story… even longer than this one. That's another thing, this story is nearly finished, just to let y'all know… there should only be about 7, 8 more chaps total… sorry it's taking so long…
