X-Riaa- Um...Slade is after her? And plus, Cyborg was looking at the stairs. There is no other way off the roof other than flying, jumping or scaling down the building. Wouldn't anyone want an answer?
Hensel & Gretel- Um... I honestly don't even know what you're talking about...
Raziel's Messenger- Thanks for the review, and I sure hope I live up to that expectation!
Raven pulled up to Titans Tower. It was well past dawn and she was exhausted. Beast Boy slept in the seat next to her, snoring lightly. She shook him softly to wake him up before getting out of the car. The morning air was cold against her skin as she entered the tower. The front door hardly closed before Beast Boy turned into a dog and fell back asleep on the floor. Raven ignored him and made her way to the living room. She sat down on the couch exhausted. Her plan was to make tea and wait up for Robin but she fell asleep accidently.
Robin came down the stairs quietly and laughed. He scooped Raven into his arms and carried her up to her room. With all the grace of an acrobat, Robin balanced on one foot and pushed her door open with his other one. He placed her on her bed easily and kissed her hand gently. He was tucking her in when the movement around her caused her to sit up suddenly, smacking her head into his.
"Sorry," Raven muttered, rubbing her forehead.
"No problem," Robin laughed it off, kissing her softly, "How was a long mission with Beast Boy?"
Raven groaned dramatically and Robin laughed again. He sat down on her bed and put his feet up, placing his arm around her shoulder, "Find anything?"
"Nothing, but we did get an old boot and an umbrella thrown at us. Apparently we should have stopped at two in the morning. People don't like getting woken up," Raven responded. It was a sign of how well Robin knew her that he didn't laugh. Instead he pulled her under him, kissing her romantically.
Robin glanced at the clock on her bookshelf across them, "It's almost six in the morning, I should get back downstairs."
Raven nodded and frowned, He always leaves after kissing me, she thought to herself.
Robin kissed her forehead before leaving. Raven leaned back on her pillow and closed her eyes. It seemed like she was only asleep for a minute when Mikako poked her in the shoulder.
"What?!" Raven yelled annoyed.
"Starfire and I are going shopping! Do you want to come?" Mikako said. Her constant joy was really starting to get on Raven's nerves.
"No."
Mikako looked shocked, "But it's the a small town shop right on the end of the city!" Her words became so close together that Raven couldn't figure out what she was saying.
"FINE" Raven interrupted her, "I'll go if you just shut up." Raven walked out of her room to be pulled by Starfire.
"Friend! I am most glad you have agreed to join me on the trips of shopping! I am most positive you will enjoy yourself!" Starfire chatted loudly the whole way there.
When they finally arrived at the shopping area, Starfire and Mikako were overjoyed. Unfortunatly for them, Robin called Starfire's communicator as soon as they arrived.
"Starfire, you have a call from Tameran. They said they were just checking in but I figured you would want to know," Robin explained.
Starfire apologized before she flew back to the Tower at lights speed. Raven watched her fly off before turning around to realize Mikako was nowhere in sight. Raven sighed, she really hated having to look after people. She was babysitting a teenager.
Raven flew by the stores trying to find her, glancing into every one of them. Mikako couldn't have gotten far. Raven happened to have very good hearing, which came in hand because a guy up the path called out,
"Look at that girl walking up there!"
Raven ran over to see Mikako balancing gracefully between a wooden beam that connected two buildings. She had to be at least five stories up and the beam was only a few inches wide. Raven watched in shock for a second as Mikako cart wheeled across the beam and continued to walk across on her hands. Finally she stood up smiling, back on two feet. Raven watched in amusement, is she can do all that, she's not going to fall…and even if she did, I'd fly to catch her before she hit the ground… Before Raven even finished thinking that, Mikako stood up straight, holding her arms out to both sides, and just fell back, the body descending towards the ground. Raven flew forward but was too far behind people to get anywhere. She waited, expecting to hear screams or at least the sound of her body hitting pavement, but no such sound came. Raven looked around and found Mikako standing on a nearby picnic table bowing.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" She laughed as people applauded.
Raven stared at her. She just saw her falling on the other side of the courtyard, how did she land unharmed, on the other side?
