Chapter6:

Aftermath

The feeling of hangeover was much worse than she expected.She couldn't focus and it was like someone filled her head with sticky slime that made her brain slow and messed with her sight.It seemed that the room was spinning.Barely suppressing nausea she showered (it helped a bit) and cleaned herself.Dressed and ready to face the Titans she slowly walked outside her room.The Tower was suprisingly quiet.There was no one in the living room.Even the TV was turned off.She mumbled something to herself and still not getting anything went for the fridge.There was a note attached to the door.She recognized Cyborgs handwriting.

''Dear Raven!

You were sleeping so we didn't wanna wake you.We kinda figured you don't want to go with us to see the Grand Canyon.Luv ya,see ya!''

''But I always wanted to see the Canyon.'' She muttered to herself and sighted.Hunger kicked in so she opened the fridge and searched for food that was still eatable.She foung a piece of cheese and some raw steaks.The frying pan was already in her hand and she started to prepare the meat but it seemed her body had a mind of it's own.

'So red and juicy…soft…delicious…mmmmmm…'

''Do I dare to do it?It's been so long since then…'' She reconsidered her rewaken urge and after a minute she sank her teeth into the raw steak.They became a bit longer and sharper,like in predatorial animals.She sat on the couch and turned the TV on.With contempt she watched a series about some teenagers and their trivial lives.A few minutes later she finished her meal and went to the roof.The fresh air cleared up her head and it seemed to her that the booze is finally leaving her system.She stretched and yawned.The power in her started to stir as she slowly levitated.

''Everything I try to do,or change,turns to shit.'' She started to talk as she watched a pair of seagulls fighting over a cadaver on the rocks beneath her.

''I went to far last night…I allowed myself to think that I can find a soulmate among the confused ones.Stupid teens…how could I've been so foolish?They are only children that think they have power,that they understand things beyond this world…and I,I am true.And I am alone.Lonely.So lonely…''

She started to meditate in order to calm herself.A hour passed and when she opened her eyes she knew that there is no way she would give up.

'I need to be more careful.Slow down a bit…but I will go out tonight.To a caffe.And I will have a good time.'

Blackfire watched her money dissappear like dust in the wind.Her suit was destroyed and she spent a half of the money just to find a scientist who could make her a new one.The materials and the work she payed devoured the rest.She was back where she started.Without money,a place to stay and almost hungry.

She looked around the bar and saw a couple of aliens that looked rich.But they were sorrounded by their servants so thievery was out of the question.

''Shit.'' She whispered in english and tasted bitterness.

'This isn't working out anymore.I remember when I had power,money…and a harem of finest males.Things changed.I didn't…' She poured a glass of powerful alcohol down her throat and walked out into the night.She was cold.Walking down the streets of this ugly city she felt despair rising in her heart.She could easily picture herself lying in the corner of some alley,with veins full of some obscure drug,waiting for death and her rusty scythe.

''Sister.'' She spoke and felt a sting of jealousy

'You got it made.A warm home and a bright future…and me?What about ME,sister!' Blackfire's eyes flashed purple and she pictured herself living her sisters life.Suddenly she felt empty,and defeated.Starfire was stronger.

She was about to open the door of her rented apartment when it hit her.

Earth.

She smiled and started packing.

Sorry for the shortness but I'm in a hurry and I'm still setting the stage.Oh,there will be no fight between the sisters.I hope you will read and review.
