I apologize, anyhow—I haven't been able to read any of your reviews since I uploaded, I'm sorry. I would have loves to read your wonderful reviews regarding the chapter, they usually work as a pick me up to get through my school day…AH! STUPID SCHOOL! I swear Fanfiction is like a drug, I'm getting withdraws! I miss you guys!
Klarion-haha
Me-Mock me?
Klarion-You're misery is my entertainment
Me-Sadist…ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

Cherie Curie sat in a pretty well lit room, he had been taken and placed in a pet carrier—of all things! A Witch's familiar in a pet carrier, how degrading. Once he had been taken Cherie had decided to go into a trance, it would keep him from getting hurt, it also worked to sense where his master was and detect their magical aura from far away distances.

So from the moment Raven had lost her memories and was taken from him, he figured that trance would be a good way of waiting. He was very aware what was going on around him however, such as he heard the panic over Klarion the Witch-Boy kidnapping Raven, and though he didn't agree with the boy's methods, he knew it was only a matter of time until his master's memories returned to her.

"So watching this thing is going to help up find out if Raven's memories are back?" Captain Marvel asked, Martian Manhunter and Atom—who were both guarding the cat—nodded.

"Cool,"Marvel said kneeling down to look into the small cage Cherie was in "But how can he know if Raven's powers are back?"

"We do not know, it is not normal to familiar to sense memories." Manhunter said.

"Might be something for only human witch familiars, we really aren't sure." Atom said, "And since we can't exactly ask the thing it's more than likely going to stay that way."

"Huh…" Marvel said staring at the strange cat. Suddenly Cherie's eyes flew open, Marvel jumped back.

"Uh..guys…we might have a slight problem." He said, Manhunter and Atom stared as the cat rose to its feet in the cage. Cherie stared at the three heroes and then suddenly let out a loud howl.

"WE need to inform the others!" Manhunter said, "Raven's memories and powers have returned!"

When Klarion broke away he looked at Raven who stared back, suddenly Raven punched him in the chest sending him on his back. He looked up at Raven as she stood and glared.

"What the heck was that for!?" He shouted.

"Stockholm syndrome you jerk." She hissed, Klarion smirked, that was more Raven's attitude he stood and looked to Raven as she began to stretch, popping joints back into place.

"So do you remember?" he asked, Raven paused with her arms stretched above her head in an elegant fashion she looked to Klarion.

"Who are you again?" She said with a slight smirked, Klarion's eye twitched.

"Not, funny." He growled, then Raven smiled to him.

"I thought it was," She said to him sweetly then grabbed him by the tie, and kissed him back, "I've missed you!"

Klarion smirked evilly, "the feeling in mutual."

"Where's Cherie?" Raven asked out of the blue, Klarion pursed him lips, her familiar was on the Justice League's Watch Tower.

"Waiting for us to pick him up," Klarion cooed placing his arm around Raven's waist. Raven cocked an eyebrow.

"Where—oh wait I remember." She mumbled, then scowled at Klarion who gave a curious look.

"What—" Suddenly slapped him across the face, "OW! What was that for?!"

"It's your fault I even lost my memories in the first place!" she shouted, "You and your stupid fight with Dr. Fate—Nabu—whatever you call him!"

"I wanted the helmet." He mumbled, "And I think I've been slapped enough the past few days!"

"You're right Klarion, I'm sorry." Raven said moving in closer to the Witch-boy, "Come on let's go get my cat."

"Hey Zatanna, how are you holding up?" M'gaan asked Zatanna as she sat in the kitchen of the Cave. Zatanna looked up.

"It's been a week since Raven called me from wherever Klarion's holding her." (don't try to do the math in this story please.) she said, "What if Klarion's done something to her. With her memories gone, who knows what he could be telling her."

"Zatanna you have to relax. You know Raven better than anyone here, if Klarion kidnapped her she's going to fight him." M'gaan said. Zatanna nodded.

"But…you know…I kind of hope she gets her memories back." She mumbled, "I know that's horrible to say…but…"

"You're just tired Zatanna." M'gaan said, "You need rest, you won't be able to help Raven if you're exhausted."

Zatanna nodded when suddenly the alarm went off, the two ran to the front room of the cave to see that an explosion had gone off in the Tower.

~0~

"So much for subtly," Raven mumbled, Klarion cocked an eyebrow, "Just sayin, you really know how to make an entrance."

Klarion smirked, "Until we find Cherie Curie your powers will be weak, so stay close to me."

"Don't have to tell me twice." Raven said with a sly smirk, Klarion tried to hide the fact that he was blushing, but failed miserably. they then headed toward the place where they were sure the League was holding Cherie prisoner.

"Hold it right there!" Shouted a voice, the two paused and looked back to see Black Canary who stared surprised, "You."

"Yup, us." Raven said, as Klarion sent a fireball toward her. He then grabbed Raven by the arm and dragged her off to a different part of the tower.

"Why didn't you just kill her?" Raven asked, Klarion narrowed his eyes.

"The Light still needs them for their plans." He explained, Raven huffed.

"Of course." She muttered, suddenly Klarion opened a portal in front of them and went through. When they came out on the other side they were face to face with Cherie's imprisonment. Raven couldn't help but laugh.

"Well isn't this a funny predicament you're in Cherie." She said, Cherie growled. "Seriously, even now you're hissing about your name."

Cherie mewed and Raven unlocked the cage and Cherie jumped into her arms. Just then the doors to room opened, Klarion and Raven turned to see M'gaan and Zatanna, who had zetaed to the Tower.

"Raven…"Zatanna mumbled. Raven smirked as Cherie perched himself on her shoulders.

"That's my name don't wear it out…" She said, "What's up Mary?"

"Raven…you're…"

"Back to full strength now." Raven hissed, "No thanks to you."

Raven then threw her hands forward toward Zatanna and M'gaan blowing them back and pinning them to a wall.

"I love it when you're angry." Klarion said with a smirk. Raven smiled.

"I'm not angry…not yet." She said, the blasted the duo back, breaking through the wall. She then went to attack Zatanna but was stopped by Klarion.

"As much as I'd love to see you rip these losers apart, we have to go." He said, Raven let out a low growl but did as she was told. Klarion then opened a portal before stepping through portal Raven looked back at Zatanna.

"Kill ya later, Mary." She said, then she stepped through the portal and disappeared. Zatanna stared after them.

"This is bad…this is really bad…" She said.

When Klarion and Raven—and their familiars—returned to Klarion's home, Raven wrapped him into a hug and kissed his lips. Klarion's brows rose in surprise.

"What was that for?" He asked when she broke away, leaving a perfect black kissy mark on his face. Raven smiled slyly.

"Once again you've proved to me that you really do love me." She said, "Whether you say it or not."

Klarion pursed his lips, which he realized were now stained with Raven's black lipstick. He then wiped his lips and shrugged.

"I'm never going to get you to say it am I?" she asked, Klarion shook his head and smirked.

"Nope." He said and walked off, Raven stared after him and pouted.

"He could have at least pretended to give it some thought." She muttered. Then huffed and looked to Cherie. "Good to see ya again Cherie."

"Cherie…?" He growled. Raven groaned.

"Cherie Curie, there happy?" she asked. Cherie nodded then Raven looked into the direction Klarion went.

"Hey Cherie, you think I should be worried that Klarion never tells me he loves me?" she asked. Cherie meowed.

"Why are you asking me? How would I know?" He asked, Raven pouted.

"Well it's not like I have anyone else to ask." She said, "So I'm left to ask you."

"I wouldn't worry, Klarion is Klarion, you know this. He's going to act as he does." Cherie mewed rubbing himself against Raven's legs. "Best to just get over it."

"I suppose." Raven sighed as Klarion returned still trying to rid himself of Raven's lipstick.

"What is this crap?" he grumbled. Raven suppressed a laugh and went up to him.

"Makeup forever, from sophoria. It's supposed to be waterproof, and smudge proof yaknow?" She told him, Klarion scowled.

"This crap's gonna be on my face forever?!" He growled, Raven shook her head.

"Nah, olive oil can get it off." She said, Klarion grumbled.

"Oh joy."
