Red X and Raven teleported into the highly secured museum to find a rare gemstone that was able to give the user the ability to turn invisible; it was all Red X's idea. Now that Raven was "back", crimes could turn dangerous and "fun", like Red X wanted, and Raven desired that as well. Red X has affected her, big time.
With only half of the control of her powers, which she had been practicing with the help of Red X, she covered the security cameras with black magic, and immediately Red X sprung into action. Getting the gem was top priority at this moment; nothing else mattered.
Raven had developed a plan for herself, even if Red X was not aware of it. She wondered if she ever had a knack of creating plans before her memory left her.
The plan consisted of meeting one of the Teen Titans that Red X was so not fond of, preferably Robin, seeing as he knew so much about Red X, and possibly herself. All she needed now was to give him, and him only, an "invitation" of some sort.
"Come on." Red X hissed. Raven teleported herself out of there, as well as Red X who mimicked her.
They lodged at the roof a few blocks away from the museum. "Nice job." Red X acknowledged. Raven only nodded. Without even sensing it, she was acting like herself more and more as time passed by. "Let's move, shall we?" Red X stated. Red X turned to leave, until Raven interrupted him.
"I'll be there later. There's something I have to do." She stated simply. Red X hesitatingly nodded, and left with a push of a button.
Raven concentrated. With all the tapes of her and the Teen Titans Red X had (and she did not want to know why he had those tapes in the first place) she found out her powers consisted of a mantra, and her emotions could not be shown for some reason or the other, but she needed more.
Raven teleported away, only knowing half her powers.
The Teen Titans were currently at the museum where Red X and Raven were only half an hour ago.
"Chief Jones, what's the status?" Robin asked the Chief as his other teammates were searching the area.
"It's a wonder how the thief got away with the Indiscernible Gem of Egypt. The culprits were now even shown on security cameras! As if something was covering it."
"Was anything covering it?"
"No… but hold on. A fellow security guard watching the tapes came back to his post to see a flicker of black, outlined in white. Come to think of it, it looked a lot like your teammate's power. Raven's right? Where is she by the way?" The chief asked, munching on a donut.
Robin could only thank the Gods when Beast Boy came over and told him that he could find no clues that could lead to the criminal.
Starfire searched for any clues to who performed this crime, until a swirl of black energy surrounded her and took her down to the ground, the energy covering her mouth to prevent any screams.
"Starfire?" Robin asked as he wondered what happened to his alien friend.
Starfire was raised from the ground on the top if a building. She quickly searched her surroundings until her eyes landed on her Goth friend. Raven was donned in a black leather body suit, made for females, and steel armor covered her shoulder blades, chest area and legs.
"Starfire, hey!" Raven said with much difficulty. Being nice was going to be the death of her.
"Friend Raven! You have returned!" Starfire flew forward quickly and grasped her friend in bone-crushing hug before Raven could dodge it. "Oh we have missed you so very much! I must inform you; we all were very worried for you…" Starfire said in one breath as Raven starting to turn a bit blue.
"Star… fire…" Starfire looked at her friend and could clearly see that she needed air.
"Oh forgive me Friend Raven. I do not know my own strength." Starfire apologized, and looked away after letting go of her.
"Starfire… I need a few questions answered." Raven said, fingering a small ball held in the secret pockets of the suit.
"Of course Friend Raven. But should we not meet our friends. I am sure they are awaiting out arrival."
"Later, but first… this is a little test. How do I control my flying abilities?" Raven asked, just hoping she knew. Apparently, she was secretive before.
"Oh. That is an easy question Friend Raven. You had told me long ago, when the Puppet King trapped our friend's bodies in mere puppets. In order to control your flying abilities, you…" and the conversation continued from there, with Raven asking questions on how to control her powers, and Starfire answering them, not having a clue as to why Raven insisted on "testing" her, as she had explained.
"Thanks Star." Raven said once all her questions were answered.
"Friend Raven, please, why must you know? Do you not already understand your own powers?"
"Oh yea, I do…" Raven said, picking up the sleeping gas placed in the ball. "Now." She whispered to herself, and threw a ball to Starfire and teleported away.
How was that? Please review.
