Enjoy!
Lucy tapped her chin thoughtfully.
Fairy Tail had held an Open House the day before, and they now had three new members (though she credited Romeo for Kozue, and to say Macao had been unhappy that Romeo had gone behind his back and taken a solo job would be a massive understatement.)
Kozue, Jack, and Ryder from the day before, as well as Jellal, Ultear, Meredy, and Romeo. Seven more than they had started out with, but…
Still not enough. They were in dire need of new members.
Bisca bit her lip as Laki asked how her night had been.
"It was great." She said with a blush. "I…um. I kind of went out on a date."
"With who?!" Laki demanded, eyes wide. She crossed her fingers behind her back, praying that it was who she hoped.
"As if you haven't guessed." Bisca whined, blushing even darker.
"I need you to say it!" Laki pleaded.
Neither girl noticed that the attention of everyone in the room was on them. Including the boy in question, who had been grabbing drinks for them.
"…Alzack."
The room erupted into loud cheering and laughter, people congratulating the pair as the two Westerners blushed fiercely.
Looking at each other, they sighed in resignation, deciding not to try to stop them.
Fairy Tail needed all the cheer it could get, these days.
Lahar sighed quietly as he watched the video lacrima aimed at one of the prisoner's cells.
Usually he would ignore this kind of thing, but this particular criminal was far too prideful to fake the intense worry and desperation he was exhibiting.
He stood up, planning to speak with the Council.
Something had to be done about this.
Five months later, Fairy Tail found itself with a visit from Lahar, captain of the Rune Knights.
"Sir?" Lucy asked warily, having been the one who had interacted with him most.
Ultear turned her head away from him. She didn't know if there was a warrant out for her arrest.
Jellal leaned back in his seat slightly, as if to get further away from the man with the power to take him back to prison. He hadn't done anything wrong!
"I'm not here for you, Fernandes." The dark-haired man said, reading the apprehensive expression on the former Wizard Saint and Council member's face. "Though I suppose what I came here for is related to your case."
"How so?" Macao asked suspiciously.
"I have another ex-prisoner waiting outside." Lahar explained. "He was freaking out due to worry because his animal companion, a snake named Cubellios, is missing."
Lucy gasped sharply, eyes widening as she recognized the name.
Lahar continued as if he hadn't heard her. "The late (here he ignored the bitter glares) Makarov Dreyar filed a report with the council a while ago about a young girl who had been cursed and transformed into a snake. We believe that this girl and Cubellios are one and the same, and…this girl is in Fairy Tail."
All was silent, until a glass shattered.
Everyone turned towards the bar, where a small girl with short purple hair had just dropped a glass that she had been cleaning. Her eyes were wide in absolute shock.
"What?" she asked breathlessly. "B-but I don't remember my time as a snake…"
With that, the door opened, and Cobra walked in.
He had been waiting to hear her voice.
"Cubellios." He whispered, looking relieved and hopeful.
"Kinana is her human name." Lucy told him, seeing that the girl in question was still too much in shock to answer.
"It doesn't matter." Cobra said, acknowledging the familiar blonde but otherwise ignoring her. "She's still alive."
Lahar sighed as the pair stared at each other, though it was obvious that the girl still didn't quite know what to make of the whole thing. He turned to Macao Conbolt, who he understood was the current guild master.
"The Council has agreed to release him into Fairy Tail's custody…"
Five hours of intense discussion later (part of which was conducted in private in the master's office), Fairy Tail gained another member.
Raven glanced up as she heard a commotion outside the coffee shop she was resting in.
She frowned as she saw a man in a black mask (cliché as it was) attack another.
'Don't get involved, Raven.' She told herself, before looking back down at her newspaper.
Her resolve lasted all of eight seconds before she was flying out of the shop.
"Leave him alone." She told the attacked in a monotone, causing the man to pause mid-strike.
"Or what?" he leered, looking her up and down. "You'll punish me?"
Raven's eyes flashed in anger and disgust at the blatant disrespect. She raised a hand, summoning a black orb using her powers.
The orb let loose a tendril, and suddenly the man was in the air, held captive in a black sphere. His eyes widened and he tried to get out, but to no avail.
"Madam?" a voice came from behind her.
She turned to see one of the Rune Knights behind her, and she blinked. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, would you mind releasing him so that we can take him into custody?" the man asked, and with a sigh Raven complied. "Thank you for your help. Have a nice day."
With that, the man was placed in cuffs and taken away.
Raven shook her head in annoyance.
Thanks for the help? She didn't help him do anything, she did his job for him!
A moment later she sighed, annoyance ebbing away.
Apparently no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get away from her days with the Teen Titans, chasing criminals and saving the world.
After years of being a hero, saving lives left and right, she could no longer stand by when someone was in need of help.
Later that night, she recalled the newspaper that she had been reading before the attack.
There was an article about a magic guild called Fairy Tail, and from the rumors that she'd heard, it was the perfect place for unusual and eccentric people. They also had a reputation of going against the Council (which Raven was wary of) and doing what was right even if they got in trouble for it.
Maybe it would be worth checking out…
Two weeks later, after extensively researching the guild, Raven became a Fairy Tail mage. Her guild mark was dark purple and on her right thigh (AN: opposite to where Mirajane, Lisanna, and Juvia have theirs.)
Please review!
We'll say that Raven is sixteen years old here, so she'll be about 23 after the time-skip.
For those of you familiar with her, this is fairly soon after the whole Trigon thing. During the battle she was sent into a portal and, so far, hasn't been able to go back to her own world. Probably a good thing, considering how many times the Earth is destroyed in the DC comics. So, yeah, it's not likely that the other Teen Titans will be coming into the story.
