Here's the next chapter:)
Niol
Raven woke up in her bed under the silky, violet covers of her bed. She sighed and closed her eyes again, savoring her last moments in her warm, cozy covers, or "soft sleeping device", as Starfire referred to as her bed. The first thing-or person-that came to Raven's mind then was the darkest jail member, Robin.
Raven groaned and, eyes still tightly shut, rolled over and stopped her alarm clock before it could beep its head off at her.
Raven yawned and stumbled out of bed, pulling her bath robe off its hanger. Taking in the lilac scent of her freshly-aired purple robe, she headed for her bathroom. 'A shower,' she thought deftly. 'That's what I need, to clear my mind, empty my thoughts, get my mind off of Robin-AAAAAAGH!' Raven stepped into the bathtub rather forcefully and began to take a shower. When she was finished, she stepped out of the lavender soap-scented bathroom wrapped in her purple bath robe and changed into a loose purple t-shirt, a black-and-silver belt, black sweatpants and black boots with black socks. Reaching for her black zip-up hoodie, she headed down for breakfast, following the scent of eggs, buttered toast, bacon and orange juice with her nose.
Jinx, meanwhile, lay in her pink and black bed, fingering the lace on her pink nightgown, thinking about a certain red-headed speedster in the jail cell on the floor beneath her. She rolled out of her covers, mumbling something about having to ask Raven about meditation, and chose her outfit for the day-pink tank top, a black miniskirt, pink-and-black-striped stockings, a black-and-pink belt, black boots and a black hoodie that she would naturally leave unzipped and the hood off. She stepped into the shower and came back out with a minty aroma drifting about her and pulled her outfit on absent-mindedly. As she zipped her boots up, her thoughts wandered to Flash again. 'Great,' she thought sarcastically, 'I'm officially obsessed with my rival, Flash.' Pausing to apply a thin layer of clear lip gloss to her pale lips, Jinx tied her hair up into the two pigtails she normally wore and made her way down to the main floor, following the breakfast scent with her delicate nose. On the way down, Jinx ran into Raven. The two murmured their greetings and went into the kitchen to find Demille Rouge, Slade's undercover spy, cooking their breakfast rather cheerfully.
Jinx's and Raven's eyes were about to pop out of their pale faces.
"Demille? W-what are you doing here?" Jinx stammered. Demille looked up, her short black hair swishing as she moved her graceful neck. "Ah, Jinx, Raven, so nice to see you two again," Demille smirked, which was her way of smiling warmly. "I have finally succeeded een zeh poizoning of Bruce Wayne, and he eez now in an izolated jail cell from zeh other prizonerz." Demille slurred in her Amazonian accent. Demille had gone into the extremes and became the "fiance" of Bruce Wayne, leader of the cops. "Oh Demille, how nice it is to see you again!" Raven cooed forcefully. Demille smiled. "Ah, how nize of you, Raven. Would you and Jinx like to know how I have managed to poizon Bruce?" Raven and Jinx looked at each other, grimaced and did all they could to nod politely. Demille was a nice person, at least, nice in her own terms, and they didn't want her to have her mood swing. Demille set down a plate of perfectly-browned toast with a perfect slice of butter on top.
FLASHBACK
Demille walked, hips slightly swaying, as she advanced on Bruce. In her hands on a tray were two glasses of red wine, the glass on the right containing a strong sleeping poison. She came to Bruce only to see him in a sad mood, his head in his hands, collapsed in his over-stuffed armchair.
Demille approached him and sat beside him. "Vhy, Bruce, vhat eez zeh matter?" she purred.
Bruce paused to gaze at her Amazonian beauty before replying. "I have tried to call Richard for a long time, but he has neither anwered his phone nor has he replied to any of my calls." He paused for breath. "I hope the Assassins have not gotten him and his friends."
Demille, or "Flora", as Bruce and Richard knew her as, shook her head sympathetically. She raised the glass of wine with poison to Bruce's hand. "Vhat you need eez some vine." Bruce nodded gratefully and took the glass. Not long after he downed the whole glass did he fall over and into a deep, drugged sleep.
END FLASHBACK
"...Wow," Raven and Jinx said at the same time after they heard Demille's story. "That was very.,..daring of you," Jinx said, this time not so forcefully. Demille smiled yet again. "Vhy thank you," she said.
Meanwhile, Starfire was just getting up. She sat up in her pink and white covers and bed, deeply inhaling the delishis (sp?) scent of fried eggs, orange juice, buttered toast and bacon. "I smell something quite delectable!" she said out loud. She stretched her arms out widely and yawned a bear yawn. "I shall get up and do the showering and the dressing! Then, I shall join my friends in the breaking of the fast!" she said to no one in particular, and jumped out of her bed. With a certain Speedy on her mind, she slipped in her bathtub, using a flowery scent of soap this time, then came out with a pink towel. She walked over to her closet and pulled her outfit out, which consisted of pink knee-high boots, a pink miniskirt, a pink t-shirt and too much makeup. She hesitated before also slipping on a pink-beaded necklace with a matching bracelet. Grabbing her favorite black waist-length unhooded cloak, she headed out of her room, also tying a pink sash around her slim waist.
When she saw Demille, she did not hesitate to pull the unexpecting Amazonian into abone-crushing welcome-back hug.
"Oh, Demille, how nice it is to see you again!" Starfire cried joyously.
Demille grimaced. "Ah...nize to see you too, Starfire," Demille managed. Raven stopped Starfire from breaking Demille's bones just in time.
Terra woke up and instantly opened her bright blue eyes. 'Time to start another day,' she thought. Hearing Demille's voice, Terra's eyes bulged and she dove out of bed into the shower. She decided hastily to use the vanilla-scented soap and rubbed it into her tanned smooth skin.After rinsing out the soap, she dove out of thew shower, through a blue towel, and into her outfit- a black t-shirt with a 'T' on the frontprinted in yellow, black sneakers with yellow socks, a blue headband, blue gloves and brown shorts. Placing a black armband on the upper half of her right arm, she followed the voices and smells down to the main floor.
Bee also was waking up. Hearing the voice of Demille, her big brown eyes opened even wider and she lept expertly out of her bed. 'Oh crap,' she thought. She slapped some citrus-scented soap onto her brown skin. After drying off, she dove headfirst into a black-and-yellow-striped t-shirt, black tight-fitting capris, yellow boots, black armbands, a yellow-and-black belt and a yellow headband. Checking her reflection and adding a little bit ofbrown lip gloss to her lips, she raceddownto the main room, only to see the other girlscrowded around Demille Rouge. "Rouge! You're back! Well all right!" Bee said joyously and joined in the small throng of her four other friends around Demille asthey listened to Demille explain how she took down the mighty Bruce for the umpteenth time.
Slade watched the girls crowded around Demille on the security camera that was placed in the main room. His eyes-or eye-softened at the peaceful scene. Then, he shook his head violently. 'Bad thoughts for a villain Slade, bad thoughts,' he chided himself.
Meanwhile, the prisoners weren't faring too well on starvation.
Just then, Demille walked in with Raven at her side. "So, boyz,you are zeh fearless yet feared cops I have heard so much about? And now you are here taken down by a few girlz?" Demille snorted and smirked. "Pathetic."
Robin's eyes widened. "Flora?" he asked. Flora, or Demille as he learned now, looked at him and scoffed.
Robin frowned at the emotionless look on Raven's face as Demille kept taunting the boys. 'Why won't she do anything?' Robin asked himself. Raven's eyes traveled to his and held his gaze for a moment. Robin saw...pity? sorrow?...in her eyes before she turned away and went off to talk with the others.
Robin didn't like the look on Raven's face...
A/N: oh yea I rock! It'll be awhile before my next chapter is up...
