Hey all, I'm soooo sorry this took so long to get, and that's it not very long. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
"Raven, where would you like to go first?" Starfire rambled excitedly, "We could look at clothes, or shoes, or hair accessories, or go to the court of food, or-"
"Star, why don't we…uh…look around and see if anything…catches our eye?" Raven suggested, wanting stop before she got the mall's entire inventory. The two had just walked in, having flown from the tower. They were standing in front of a huge fountain. People were sitting and walking and chatting everywhere. Raven was already starting to feel uncomfortable.
"That is a splendid idea! Please to the left or right?" Starfire exclaimed. 'Jeez, could this place have any more options?' Raven thought with annoyance. "Um, to the right." She said, choosing the first thing that came to her mind.
A group of 15 and 16 year old boys approved of her decision, happy to get a closer look at the two girls. They stood to the right of the fountain, leaning against the wall. The group started hooting and whistling as the two passed by. Due to the areas crowd the teen super heroes had to walk a mere four feet from the obnoxious group.
'Animals.' Raven thought, shaking her heading but deciding to leave it alone. She would just end up losing it, she might hurt someone. 'They're just a bunch of nit-witted jerks that can't possibly think-' but her thoughts were interrupted with a loud shriek.
She whipped around to find one of the boys yelling and waving his arms over his head. Something was kept swooping down on his head and hitting it hard. The other boys looked sympathetic, but there was no way they were getting involved. Starfire stood still watching the scene with great confusion. The previous behavior of the boys was something she had never experienced, and seemed to think this was just another strange action of the teenage earthling.
What ever was attacking him was showing no weakness or slowing. After about a minute of watching the boy's dark brown hair be beat repeatedly, Raven used her power to encircle the assailant.
It turned out to be nothing more than a parakeet. She reached out to its mind, whispering calming things to it. The bird instantly calmed. Which was odd, as usually there was the confusion of a sudden voice talking in your head that freaked anyone, animal or person, out.
She pulled the energy ball towards her. Still the animal wasn't at all frazzled. When it was inches from her, she let the shield disappear and held out her hand. To her surprise, the bird actually stood on her palm.
She then motioned to Starfire, and the two climbed the stairs up to the top floor. Raven opened a window with her magic. All through the trip, Raven kept eye contact with the little parakeet. She put her hand outside the window, yet it stayed put, transfixed.
It seemed, familiar. Odd, as she never a particular fondness for a parakeet. She shook her head. 'Time to go little guy' she whispered in his head. Somehow she knew it was a he.
It looked at her once more then hopped off to the windowsill. Raven closed the window. The bird watched her all the way. She was starting to get creeped out. She shut the window, turned her back, and walked away with Starfire. "Star, how about that shop. I like that necklace."
Raven walked away, again unaware of a certain green animal watching her.
Again, I'm very sorry it took me so long for something so pathetic. Oh well, you can always tell me to hurry up, or that you loved it, or whatever in a review. Hint, hint. Well hope you liked it. First few weeks of school, ya' know. After I get it all under control my updates shouldn't be so far apart. Love to all my reviewers!
