Chapter 6
He really loved Terra. She knew that just telling him that he had a child was going to ruin Terra and Garfield's relationship. And as much as she didn't give a rat's ass about Terra she loved Garfield too much and she wanted him to be happy. She decided she wouldn't tell him just yet. But she knew it was her duty as a mother to have her daughter meet her father and vice versa.
She watched as he gave Terra one last kiss and turned back to the elevator doors, pressing the button and walking inside as the doors opened. Just before the doors completely shut Garfield caught glimpse of a dark figure in the hallway. He felt as if his heart was about burst. He really hoped Raven hadn't seen him kiss Terra. That would ruin his chances of ever having even a platonic relationship with her, let alone a romantic one. He didn't want to hurt anyone. He loved Terra, but it was nowhere near the love he felt for Raven. He truly realized that when he kissed her. He hadn't noticed before but whenever he kissed Terra he didn't feel that spark that he did with Raven. Those fireworks. Like a first kiss.
He shook his head and tried to focus on the task at hand. Once the elevator doors opened his eyes went wide. There stood a tall, lean man. His dark bangs covered most of his face, revealing slivers of bright blue eyes. He wore tight black everything.
A black choker clung tightly to his long neck. His feet were bare and dirty. He looked at Garfield with a crazed excited look in his eyes.
"W-who are you?" Garfield stammered out, backing into the elevator a bit more.
"Me?" The man asked pointing to himself, an arrogant smirk on his dirty, pale face.
"Y-yeah." He choked out.
"I'm…" he looked up and put his index finger to his chin, making a "think" face. "The messenger." He said after a while.
"What's your message?" Garfield asked warily.
"I'm here to tell a little black bird she is gonna need to take a little trip over to my boss's place. He has something to discuss with her."
Raven, Garfield thought, starting to panic. What did he want with her? What were his true intentions?
"So do you happen to know where I could find them?" The man asked cocking his head to the side.
"No." he said firmly, trying to sound convincing and threatening.
"Well," The man pulled a short black stick out of his dark jacket's breast pocket. "I don't think you're telling the truth. I already know where they are."
Garfield just stared at him, his stance crouched, prepared to attack. He watched the man slowly start to make a circle motion with his hand. The stick got longer and longer, sharper and sharper. It grew until it was in the shape of a spear.
Garfield's eyes grew wider.
"Relax. I'm not going to kill you. Right now I just came here to tell you about the meeting with my boss. Tell the raven that she has until the November seventh. If she isn't there then that's when people will start dying. Until then make sure she's ready. We'll be waiting."
With that he jumped high up into the sky and over the water that surrounded the tower and landed on a high building in the city, jumping from building to building. He was jumping impossibly high and far. The elevator doors closed. He hadn't realized the conversation was so short.
Garfield stood there, still in the elevator, shocked. He looked around him. There was a huge dent in the ground.
He shakily reached an arm out and pressed the up button on the elevator panel.
As the elevator went up, Garfield thought about what he said. Why did he want Raven? What did his "boss" want with her? Who was this "boss"?
His shock slowly turned to anger. Who does he think he is?! He has no right to blast into my home and threaten my family's life!
His thoughts drifted back to Raven…and Ruby. He vowed that he'd protect them no matter what. He loved Raven and he felt strangely protective when it came to Ruby. Right then he decided he was going to go by his feelings.
