Chapter 6
(A/N: I'd like to say thank you for all your positive reviews! And if you guys haven't noticed…this is a pretty long flashback. It's because this is a crucial explanation of how and why Raven's the girlfriend of Wally West)
Friday night had finally arrived and Raven sat sulkily as Cassie applied her makeup. "This feels disgusting"
"I know it does but when it's done you can apologize to Wally and talk with Robin"
"I was talking about the makeup"
"Oh"
"Though now that you mention it I feel like a skunk about this whole double date"
"Well, at least you won't smell like a skunk" Cassie laughed as she sprayed Raven generously with white musk perfume.
"C'mon Rae!" a voice outside her window called
Cassie rushed to the window and was shocked to find Robin looking back at her just as shocked. "Raaaaveeen….Robin sez to hurry…" Cassie said shakily not really believing that when Raven said she lived next door to Robin she meant right next to him. Raven rushed to her side "Yeah! I'll be done soon!" Raven hollered back
"Bet you wish he'd never draw his drapes!" Cassie smirked
"Oh, shut up"
"Hey, Raven" Donna smiled "and Cassie…are you coming too?"
"Haha! No way I'm just here for support" Cassie laughed nudging Raven with her elbow
"C'mon you two I'm driving" Donna prodded pushing Raven and Robin into the car
"So this is your first date Raven?" Donna asked smiling sweetly
"Yes" Raven said meekly
"Aww, she's bashful" Robin teased
"Knock it off Grayson!" Donna ordered smiling
"Yes, mam. I can tell when I'm out numbered"
Raven sat in the back silently.
"Wow! Had I known you were dressing up I would have worn a tie" Wally smiled
"Yeah well don't get too used to it. As soon as this date's done I'm back to potato sacks and slacks"
"Be still my heart"
Raven smiled in spite of herself and looped her arm through his.
"So you gonna buy the tickets or shall I?"
"Me? What happened to all that female equal rights thing?" Wally said mockingly his hand over his forehead in distress
"Major loss of brownie points"
"Okay, then I'll pay for the tickets and get you a brownie after dinner"
"I'm don't like chocolate"
"Then why even call it brownie points? Call it vanilla cupcake points or something…"
"And more brow-vanilla cupcake points down the drain"
"Help me out here, man I'm sinking fast" Wally begged Robin who was buying tickets in front of them
"Sorry, dude you're just going to hope for the best, Rae is real hard to please" Robin laughed
The movie was everything the trailers promise it'd be…it was exciting, funny…it was the kind of movie that even if you desperately wanted to go the bathroom you'd prefer to hold "it" in but Raven could hardly focus on the movie. "I sure am cold" she said to herself and looked at Robin imploringly. His eyes never left the screen as he said "You should have brought a jacket you know how cold it gets in the theatre" Raven made a face but it was useless since Robin wasn't even paying attention to her. She felt a soft material cover her shoulders and turn to look at Wally who had taken off his jacket and given it to her. "Thank you" Raven blushed pulling the jacket tighter around her. All of a sudden Death stroke (Slade Wilson) the bad guy of the movie's face loomed taking up the whole screen…in shock Raven grabbed both her armrests which were surprisingly warm she look down to see she had grabbed both Robin and Wally's hands…they looked at her amused by her sudden show of fear…she blushed deeply partly because she got so scared easily and partly because she was caught between two really great guys. She let go as quick as lighting and gripped her knees and made herself as small as possible not toughing Robin on her left or Wally sitting on her right.
