Raven's View

Well that was an interesting night. I wake up to the sound of Robin Dragging Cyborg to his room while they're both shouting at each other, something about losing someone? I didn't quite hear it due to the vast amounts of swearing, but I didn't need to be an empath to tell there was a lot of anger coming from them.

Raven is sat on a bench within the confines of the Jump City Cemetery, She is actually dressed in casual clothing, It represents her usual attire, a black jumper with a blue hood, black jeans and her pixie shoes, a large book is settled on her lap.

The Cemetery itself is built on a cliff overlooking the better part of the coast, nothing obscures the view, hence why Raven is here, it's peaceful and there are no distractions.

"Raven why are we here?"

Well very few.

I grit my teeth of frustration at Gar, I wonder the same thing expect I supplement the 'we' for 'you', I glare at him, but my more Joyful self can't help laughing at the face he's pulling. He's only here because he wanted to test the new Skin Spray, STAR labs had sent us and as I was the only one going he had to follow.

Instead of its usual Green Hue, Beast boy has the look of a normal Caucasian teenager; his hands were buried deep in the pockets of his jacket as he looked out to sea.

"You're just out here to look for Aqualad aren't yow" He stopped as Raven Telekinetically slapped the back of his head.

"Gar I am trying to read, go buy a game or something"

"Nah I already got that sorted" he smirks as he pulls something from his pocket and flicks it out to sea.

I really can't deal with him when he's like this, he grins at me and I know what he's brought with him the bane of my existence to date, a pocket gamestation. Which he pulls from the other pocket. I threaten to launch him out to sea if he starts to play on that thing he smirks and turns the volume up. He toying with me the little bastard. I close my book and walk further into the Cemetery.

Beast Boy doesn't notice and carries on engrossed in his game, Raven however continues to the centre of the cemetery where she settle down on a bench beneath one of the large trees. She notes a young man stood looking at one of the headstones but soon settles back down into her reading.

So intent was Raven in her reading, that she didn't notice the two teenagers coming up from behind her. Punching each other in the shoulder and nodding towards the purple haired beauty. One rushed forward and grabbed the book while the other grabbed hold of her arms and unable to help himself groped her.

Raven having been caught unawares did not register to use her powers but instead did what many young women in this situation would do she screamed, Her emotions were taking hold and as they did the tree began to shake covered within a black aura.

"Hey baby" the one who had grabbed her whispered in her ear "want to go somewhere private" His tongue snaked out licking against her earlobe

Oh god their going to kill me. Shut up We'll take 'em all on kick their asses. ENOUGH! I have to be calm get my emotions in check while getting rid of these two idiots, my mind whirls back to a video Cyborg and Beast Boy were watching some days ago. The girl in the movie was attacked like this. The one behind her stood in the perfect position for this.

Her foot lifts up and connects with the teenager's groin, He cries out in pain.

I never would have thought one of Beast Boy and Cyborg's dumb movies would have been helpful. He's now of the floor cradling himself. His Friend stares at mein disbelief which soon turns to anger

"You Stupid Bitch!"

WHAT DID HE CALL ME! Rage Bellows in my Head tearing at her restraints, I feel my face split as two more eyes form, My vision alters and then as I restrain Rage returns to normal. I hear a click, and he's brandishing a flick Knife. He threatens to cut me up and I'm still trying to hold my emotions together. He rushes towards me and then falls to the floor crying in pain and clutching his knee.

Above the mugger stands the young man who had been paying his respects. The wind picks up slightly blowing his long hair backwards. He places a foot on the mugger's chest while he picks up the flick knife. He spins it round a few times looking at it before closing it and placing it in his pocket. He looks up at Raven who steps back slightly.

I can't help but step back, what I can see of his eyes seem lifeless, His gaze bores through me, I almost feel that he can see into my Head and see my personal secrets but then his gaze returns to my attacker and I can't help but feel thankful.

His hand reaches down and grabs the mugger by his throat, the mugger gasps slightly as the grip tightens, he then cries out as the fist connects with his face, blood pours down from his nose. The young man stands up freeing the mugger from his grasp. He taps the mugger with his foot.

"Get out of here, and take your friend with you" He growls. He steps back and allows the mugger to make his way up. His friend has also gotten to his feet with nothing but revenge against Raven on his mind. He then stops as he sees the face of his accomplice splattered with his own blood. Both turn and hobble away as fast as they can.

I watch them leave I could stop them but considering what's just happened to them I think stopping them would be too much of course parts of me disagree.

I turn to thank my, well I suppose I should call him rescuer; he's stood there looking at me, my book's in his hand. He looks at it and then holds it out to me.

"I think the covers the only thing damaged, I could be wrong" A sad smile crosses his mouth.

Raven flicks through the book quickly and much to her relief, there is little damage to the book.

"I suppose I should thank you" her clam monotonous voice does not betray the fact that she had undergone a traumatic experience. An awkward pause seems to last for some time.

"Erm, My name's Sirus." He holds out his hand

"Raven" He lowers his hand when she doesn't take it.

"Interesting name" He smiles "Do you live nearby? Cause even though this is holy ground, it doesn't stop scum from mugging people."

I tell him I'm fine and that I have a friend nearby. Speaking of him where was he?

Across the graveyard Beast Boy collapses to his knees the pocket gamestation by him across the screen flashes the words, Loser and an image of Cyborg appears laughing.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Both Sirus and Raven look-up as the No continues.

"That would be my Friend" Raven sighs.

"It sounds like he's in trouble." Sirus suggests

"No he probably lost on his pocket Gamestation." Raven groaned as she looked back at where she had come from. "I should head over there"

"Are you sure your okay, I mean you just went through a traumatic experience"

Raven raised an eyebrow, "You don't know who I am do you?"

Sirus shook his head "Only that your name is Raven, should that mean something?"

An uncharacteristic chuckle left Raven's mouth, which she quickly stopped. "No I don't suppose it should, Thank you for help" She turned and walked towards where she had left Beast Boy. Leaving Sirus to watch her before he turned and made his way into the city neither aware of the figure watching them from the safety of the shadows.

"That's it my precious run along now I'll be catching up with you soon enough"
