Ok, I'm skipping slightly now, this is during the episode "Prophecy". Hope ya'll don't mind:D (I hope Rven isn't too OCC.)
A black, humanoid shape flowed up through the newly finished roof of the building, eyes white and glowing in the diamond-shaped head. The darkness faded, replaced by a relatively small girl with a dark purple hood.
Her arms and legs covered in glowing red symbols.
As soon as she regained insight of her position, her eyes closed slowly as a weary groan escaped her bared teeth, slowly bending her arms to put her hands on the sides of her head. After a few seconds, she slowly began to shake her bowed head from side to side, whispering, more stressed than upset, under her breath.
"(No… No… It's hopeless…)" She took a few even steps forward, not caring where she was walking then turned on her heel. She repeated the exercise, her hands sliding over her cheeks to slowly rub her closed eyes with her fingertips. She turned again on the spot after a few steps and walked forward, her foot placement going gently off-centre as she tried to balance without seeing.
The top of her head bumped into something semi-soft. She lowered her hands quickly and lifted her head. Kyd Wykkyd raised his hand and gave her a little wave, grinning widely, rubbing his collarbone with his free hand.
She groaned quietly to herself, eyes rolling, as she put her left hand on his right arm and gently pushed him out of the way. He turned his head to follow her path, slightly puzzled, looking over her body at the glowing red marks. He walked backwards until level again, gently waving a hand in front of her face to say 'Yoo-hoo? Anyone there?'
"(Not now Wykkyd…)" She growled slightly, the boy starting to grind her nerves slightly as she turned around the other way. He frowned, slightly non-plussed at the way she was ignoring him. He jogged slightly to catch up with her, and then leant forward slightly to try to catch her eye. She shifted her vision to him, an audible growl escaping her bared teeth.
"Knock it off." She turned sharply round and started marching slightly, head down. Kyd Wykkyd, at this point, was concerned about her, so walked forward to catch her up and tapped her smartly on the shoulder.
"I said knock IT OFF!" She yelled savagely, whipping her head round to glare at him, growling loudly in her throat. Wykkyd leapt back, completely startled, putting his forearms up to shield his face. His moth dropped open slightly and his eyes widened as he saw her eyes.
Blood red, with two thin, blood red lines above them.
Raven immediately blinked, her eyes reverting to soft violet, feeling both slightly scared and guilty for snapping at him like that. She opened her mouth to say something to the shocked and puzzled boy, but all that came out was:
"(…I….)" She closed her eyes, frowning in annoyance and defeat, tilting her head down and shaking her head at the floor.
"(…I'm sorry.)" She whispered, turning her face away from him. She felt tears pricking the corners of her eyes, but, proud as she was, squeezed her eyes a little tighter, giving her head a tiny shake.
Wykkyd lowered his arms slowly, wondering both what had happened to make her act this way, and, more strongly, what he could do to make her feel better.
He decided. It was against every rule in the Villains' rulebook, but he didn't really think this would count.
Raven's eyes flickered open to sad slits, her gaze moving to her right shoulder. She saw Kyd Wykkyd's hand gently resting on it. She felt his arm and forearm go across the back of her neck and onto the other shoulder. She slowly tilted her head up and to the left, her face full of defeat and tears starting to well, to see Wykkyd with a tiny smile on his face, his eyes showing sympathy.
She found herself being slowly guided by the arm behind her shoulders to face Wykkyd square on. His smile widened ever so slightly, his free hand open to her. After a moment, Wykkyd's smile migrated to Raven, and a single tear ran down her cheek as she blinked. She closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly as Wykkyd pulled her next to him, his other arm wrapping round her shoulder underneath the one already there, his cloak draping round her like a shield.
After a pause, she raised her arms, her hands sliding around his waist to embrace him, moving her head up to rest on his shoulder, tilting her face away from him as she silently shed tears.
Normally, Raven would have mentally destroyed someone for even thinking of doing this, but now… this was just what she needed.
It was a few minutes before they moved from this position. She pulled back slowly and looked him in the face, a small smile on her face, her cheeks stained with the path of tears. He smiled back, head tilted slightly to one side.
"(…thanks…)" She said, bringing a hand up to wipe the remains of the tears away. His smile widened slightly as he inclined his head in a nod to her, showing his acknowledgement. He stepped back and away from her, his arms sliding off her shoulders and falling by his side. He gathered his cloak in one hand, bowed low, a smile on his face, and then span round, whipping his cloak round him and vanishing.
Raven stood a while, looking at the spot he'd vanished.
"…thanks."
