Chapter 2
A Look To The Past
The Titans decided to spend a day with their new friends in the park.
"Over here!" Cyborg called out to Beast Boy, they were playing a game of foot ball with Robin and Nite Owl.
Beast Boy threw the ball, but it was caught by Nite Owl. He then threw it to Robin near the goal. "Touch Down!" Robin cried out high fiving Nite Owl.
"Why did I partner with you again?" Cyborg questioned BB.
Cutting to Starfire talking to Silk Spectre. "So, what girl stuff should we do first?" Starfire asks, "The braiding of hair, the shopping of clothes, the watching of chick flicks?"
"Heh, they all sound fun." replies Silk Spectre.
"Oh goody, then we shall do them all." says Starfire.
Raven leans over to Laurie's ear, "You just sold your soul to Hell." she informs her.
Beast Boy walks over to Dr. Manhattan, "Hey Doc, I just want to know how you got this way?"
Dr. Manhattan looks at him, he was always calm. He explains to him what happened. (Not going to tell the story, because you should already know it.)
The only one that wasn't joining the group in their fun was Rorschach, who was leaning on a tree. Raven notices and checks on him. "Hey, are you okay?" she asks.
"Fine." Rorschach answered.
Raven looked shy, "Oh, well I just thought something was wrong, since you weren't with the others." she explains to him.
Rorschach looks at her, "Should be digging up information." he says.
Raven grows confused, "Information on who?" She questions.
"Big Figure. One we're here for." Rorschach informs.
"Why are you looking for him?" She asks.
"Wanted. Broke out of prison. Big surprise." Rorschach mutters, "Slobs in justice system. Can't keep evil behind bars. Don't care."
"So you think he's here." Raven replies.
"Searched bars and clubs for information. Broke man's arm for good tip. Said he was in Jump City." Rorschach tells her.
"How could you hurt someone who did nothing?" Raven questioned in disbelief.
"He had choice. Don't give up information easy way. Give it up hard way." Rorschach informs her, "Either way, evil is punished." Rorschach turns and walks away.
Raven doesn't follow, she sits down by the tree and thinks about what he said. "Could he be right?" she thought to herself, until she heard a voice.
"Hello," the voice said.
Raven turned her head, "Oh, hi Adrian." she said to him.
"Would you care if I sat down?" he questioned.
Raven shook her head, "Go ahead."
Adrian sat down, "I couldn't help over hearing you two," he explains, "Rorschach didn't always think that way."
"What do mean?" she questioned.
Adrian looks at her and explains, "Rorschach was once a simple team player, never had any problems. But something bad must have happened to him, he seems insane now. We're affraid he might kill someone."
Raven grows a bit worried. "Why haven't you talk to him about it?" she asks.
"We've tried," he answers, "But he never tells."
"I think I know a way." Raven explains.
"It's best that you don't try." Adrian warns.
Raven stands up, "But don't you care if something may be wrong with him?" Raven questions him.
Adrian looks slowly away.
"Well I'm going to find out." she informs him as she walks away.
Later that night, the group of heros were in their beds, all except Raven. Rorschach did not go out that night, and Raven was prepared to find out what was wrong with him. She sneaks into Rorschach's room, he was still had his mask over his face. "Must not trust us." she thought to herself. She sneaks closer to him, she then places her hands carefully on his head. Her eyes go dark, she starts to hear a child crying. A vision of a little red haired boy appeared, an over weight woman in her underwear was slapping the boy. Raven starts to shake with every slap she see. "Mooooommmmmmmy, please stop." the boy begged. "SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" the woman screamed, slapping him harder. Tears started forming in Raven's eyes. She then hears Rorschach talking in his sleep, "mommy- please- stop." Rorschach says. Raven starts to see Rorschach in the vision. He was searching a house, she heard his thoughts, "No sign of little girl. Kidnapper must have moved her." She then saw him checking the cupbroads on the wall. There was knifes hanging inside, he then turns away and walks towards a wood burning oven. He opens the door and pull out a piece of cloth, he looks towards the window. There was two dogs outside fighting over a bone. The bone had something attached to it, "Oh... my g-g-god." Raven studders. The bone had a foot attached to it. She watched as he killed the dogs and the kidnapper. Streams of tears ran down the face of Raven.
"NOOOOOO!" Rorschach yells waking up. He looks at Raven, seeing Raven's eyes go from black to normal. "What did you do!" he yells grabbing her.
Raven start to sob.
Rorschach just looks at her for a few minutes, "You saw. Didn't you!" he yells at her.
Raven nods, still sobbing.
Rorschach lets her go and grabs his hat and coat, and leaves the room. The Titans were outside of the room after hearing the yelling. They hear Raven crying and check on her.
"Are you okay?" asks Robin.
Raven just nods.
"I told you, you shouldn't have tried." Adrian reminds her. "I'm sorry."
Raven is helped to back to her room, still crying. Hoping to forget what she has seen.
Please Review. Thanks.
