Little Mermaid
I can Survive
Thank you to all who reviewed
Raven kept swimming. She knew one place she might be safe. Atlantis. She was chased by a shark but got away. That's one reason why she didn't like the ocean. She was glad she didn't need air. Given that she breathed underwater. She ran into Aqualad on the way. Well more like swam. He turned to her and saw her there. He was not facing her. He wondered why she was down here and asked her.
"Slade was after me and this was the only safe place I could find in my position. I was heading to Atlantis."
"That's where I was going. How do you know where it is?" he asked her.
"I had to help you, remember."
"Oh yeah."
They swam there together. He showed her that they rebuilt it. So she didn't have hide around the ruins. He showed her a place to stay. Which was his apartment when he was down there. He used it when he had to help the city. He showed her everything that was interesting in the utopia. She loved it. She thanked him and him left her look around more while he went to the surface. Raven was happy. She didn't need to worry about being found. She made a friend when she was in the market area. She had met her when she was at the fruit stand. They had an interesting conversation. She was asked why she had a fishtail. She said there weren't many mermaids in Atlantis. Raven told her that she was cursed like this. Whenever she touched water.
"Don't hear that everyday. I'm Crystal." she said introducing herself.
"Raven. I'll take these." she said picking up a bag of sea apples.
Crystal told her from when she tasted a normal apple these were sweeter and more tart. Raven decided to get another bag. Crystal had no more work and went with Raven. They an interesting conversation about the surface. Crystal had once been there and Raven lived there so they had much in common. They had gone shopping. Raven could only get shirts. Crystal got a few outfits and they went to lunch. They had so much fun. Crystal told Raven she went to the Atlantis highschool. Raven decided to sign up for it. Might as well. Nothing else to do. An actual normal life sort of. A life aquatic. She was there only two days and had two more friends. It was Crystal, Raven, Jessica, and Elle. They did everything together. In fact Raven had more fun with them then she did the Titans. She wondered if she shouold stay or not. A normal life. No villans to fight. No more of Beast Boys jokes. No more of Star's cooking. No more taking orders. And no more brotherly protection. She could learn to like it. A week later she forgot a bit about the surface world. It seemed her life underwater was replacing her surface memory. She didn't expect to stay so long but she was having so much fun. Her. Raven.
Titans Tower
Robin was pacing on the floor. Where could she be. She wouldn't just leave wiithout telling someone oor leaving a note. Something just was not right. There was no sign of her. He than noticed a peice of orange metal on the carpet. He knew that meant one thing . Slade. He told the team and showed them the peice of metal. Speedy was piiiissed.
Everyone was like him only not as much. Then Cyborg noticed a hair on the floor. He analized it on his arm and found it to be Raven's. He said Slade must've chased her. They found more clues which led them to the bay. They figured out she went into the ocean. 'She had to go there.' thought Robin.
Atlantis
Raven was having the time of her life. She had her own little world. Her own, aquatic, normal, and fun world. Well as normal you can get being a mermaid. She could survive life under the sea. She can survive.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
kept thinkin I could never live
without you by my side, but then I
spent so many nights thinkin how
you did me wrong, and I grew strong,
and I learned how to get along,
And so you're back, from outer space,
I just walked in to find you here with
that sad look upon your face, I shouldve
changed that stupid lock, I shouldve
made you leave your key, if I had
known for just one second youd
be back to bother me,
Oh now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now, cause
youre not welcome anymore,
Werent you the one who tried
to hurt me with goodbye, did
you think Id crumble, did you
think Id lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive,
Oh as long as I know how
to love, I know Ill stay alive,
Ive got all my life to live;
Ive got all my love to give,
Ill survive, I will survive,
Hey, Hey!
(musical)
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart, just trying
hard to mend the pieces of
my broken heart, and I spent
oh so many nights just feelin'
sorry for myself, I used to cry,
but now I hold my head up high,
and you see me, somebody new,
Im not that chained up little
person still in love with you,
and so you felt like droppin in, and
just expect me to be free, but now
Im savin all my lovin for
