Shopping for Goods
Two hours laterRaven levitated into the gym like a spirit that comes from the fog,her face hidden and her eyes nothing more that crystalised hate.She stood beside Robin,who didn't even notice her untill she called his name.
''Want to fight?'' She asked.
''Sure but…are you sure you want to challenge me?'' Robin answered,a bit surprised.Raven never trains with the team and usually doesn't use her body on a mission,unless she is forced to.
''Yes.I want to try.'' Raven said and removed her cape.She took the fighting posture.Robin shrugged and did the same.
Raven attacked him with full power but he easily blocked her kicks.He replied with his fists,and Raven couldn't dodge the blows but tried her best on neutralizing them.Somehow she managed to grab his arm and do the standard throwing over her shoulder,but he landed on his feet and rushed towards her,punching her in the chest.Raven flew a meter backwards and slammed against a wall.She fell to the ground and remained there.
''Raven!'' Robin screamed and ran towards her.He helped her get up.She was breathing shallow and shaking but she pushed him away and managed to walk away from him.
'I don't understand her.I really don't…' Robin said to himself as he watched Raven leave,still trying to breathe properly.
'Pain.Nothing suits me better than pain.It cleans me…oh,the beautiful pain!I should do this more often…to bring me to my senses and remind me who I am…' Raven opened the door to her room and collapsed on the bed.After some time she fell asleep.

A young boy stretched in the empty church.He was tall and slim,with perfect body proportions.His eyes were dreamy blue and matched his short hair.Shadows wrapped around him and formed a black T shirt,leather pants and army boots.
'Humans…so weak,so beautifuly perverted when they want to reach their goals…thank you christians!You proved to be perfect toys for me.The kids that summoned me…will be rewarded.' He waved his hand and kilometers away the students that were under his power all the time started to lose their mind.It wasn't long before their parents had to call the police to restrain them.Those who don't commit suicide will probably spend most of their lives in the asylum.He knew all that,being the lesser god of the cosmos.
'Raven…I know where you are.And you are mine.But the prophecies must be fulfilled,just for the sake of it.Ah,I've became so sensetive during the eons!I used to take what I wanted when I felt like it…'
He looked up.
'I changed Daddy.No one can stop me now.Nor you nor your pathetic son!You denied my reign when sonny boy spilled his blood a millennium ago.That was your first and last victory over me!'
Satan walked outside the curch and gazed upon the slum of Jump City.He smiled.
'Earth.Not much has changed since my last visit.I have time…so let's party like in the olden days.'
He laughed and went into the crowd.The smell of human flesh was driving him mad with lust.His time has come.

Raven woke up feeling quite well,and she was ready to go to the mall,to buy some ''normal'' clothes.She took all her money and it was a nice pile,almost 3000 dollars.She didn't really have a chance to spend it anywhere before.She ''borrowed'' a pair of jeans from Robin and decided to wear her junkie T shirt..
She walked through the city and nobody noticed who she really was.She wandered through the mall and barely managed to find a shop that will suit her needs.She bought a nice pair of booths,black jeans and a few T shirts with satanic symbols.On top of all that,a black leathered jacket with spikes on the shoulders and a matching pair of gloves.Feeling happy with her purchase she stopped at the cafe and ordered coffee(and she never drinks coffee).She carefully watched the customers.Especially the black metal fans.She noticed the way they walk and concluded that she will have to walk like that also if she wants to blend in tonight.Raven walked silently and carefully,while most metal fans walked like they were marching or something.
'This is kinda nice.Sitting here…drinking coffee and watching.' She looked at the nearby table where two guys were talking and smoking.She got a naughty idea.
''Hey guys!Anyone have a cigarette?'' She asked politely.
''Sure thing.Here.'' One of them gave her a Lucky Strike and lighted it for her.She inhaled the smoke and somehow managed not to cough.
''Thanks!'' Raven said with faked happiness and winked at the guy.
''Anytime for a girl as pretty as you.'' He flerted back.
Raven returned to her table and slowly started to smoke.But her brain was working overtime.
'I'm pretty?How come?I'm too skinny for my height and my tits are way smaller than Starfire's…and I'm too pale.But go figure…even I got praised.It feels nice.' She thought and allowed herself to smile.
A few minutes later she payed the bill and feeling a bit lightheaded from the nicotine went towards the port.It's the best place to teleport directly to her room,without anyone noticing that she was missing.
'A few more hours and I'll meet new people…maybe even…have sex.' Even Raven blushed at the thought,but she imagined what it would feel like.
'Change is good.' She concluded.
These old chapters really warm up my heart.R&R
