Hey, everybody! Guess what, I'm not dead! Yes, here's chapter 6 and I've started writing chapter 7 so expect that within the next month or so. Also, school will be out in 3 weeks and I'll have more time then to write. Yay! So, anyway, here you go! Oh, and yes, I know that they lyrics don't really connect to the chapter this time. This is really more of a transitional chapter.

You won't try for me not now
She had just finished unpacking the last of her things. It had been a week since she had moved to Coast City. Two since she quit the Titans.e left Jump because people were starting to notice Rachel Roth and it wouldn't have been long before people started asking questions about where she came from. Also, there were too many memories from her times with the Titans. When she arrived, she ran across the difficulty of finding a job. She wanted to be an artist but she knew that there was a possibility that she would become famous and she didn't want to deal with forging a background for herself. So she looked through the help wanted ads and found one as a person who took inventory at a grocery store. (A/N: Anyone know what they're called?) It only payed $10/hour. Not that much more than minimum wage, and with only 10 hours a week, she would be living very frugally, but at least she would never be famous for it. Just as she finished smashing the last box, her doorbell rang. Curious, she reached out with her telepathic powers. Surprisingly, she found nothing. So, she went to the door and opened it thinking that the mailman had just left a package at the wrong address. The last thing she remembered before blacking out, though, was, "Hello, puddin'!" and a fist flying towards her face.
When Raven finally came to, she discovered that she was alone in a dark room and firmly tied to a chair. She tried to use her powers but they didn't work. "Oh, don't bother trying to use your powers. I injected some kind of chemical compound into you. Don't really know what the side effects are but they block your powers and that's good enough for me. 'Wait...' she thought, 'that voice..it sounds so familiar.' All of a sudden a spotlight appeared, and a guy with white face paint, green hair and a bright, red smile stepped into it. "Hello, little birdie."
Review time!
Nightingale. the . Boss: Thank you for the nice reviews! And if you want to know who kardiak is, it's a giant heart creature and if you want to know more watch the Teen Titans episode Spellbound.
Mr. Atrocious: Thank you for the (sarcastic) constructive criticism. I didn't talk about how Raven was a successful business woman because it wasn't necessary to the plot of the story. I'm sorry if it doesn't seem like I'm very involved but I'm very busy so I work on this whenever I can but I don't have a lot of extra time to.
SaphireDragon15: Don't worry, this story is definitely not BBXTerra. I prefer BBXRae. :)
Nkcandygirl: Thank you! :)
