Raven knew she was a lucky woman for many reasons. She lived through falling into Heksville's gravity storm without any form of protection. Not only did she live, she came back stronger, obtaining her raven that gave her power over gravity. And, let me tell you, unaided flight is a blessing in and of itself. But nothing she had ever experienced made Raven feel as lucky as she did right now.
Raven watched from her perch on a nearby building as Kat sang a beautiful song that made absolutely no sense. But the dress. Oh gods, that dress could stop a man's heart. Or a woman's. Or even a Nevi's, and they didn't even have hearts. Raven so desperately wanted to fly down there and cave in the skull of every soldier staring at Kat like that, but she couldn't because a) there was a plan to stick to, and b) she was looking at Kat the same way.
"Hey! She's the Gravity Queen!"
Raven grinned and cracked her knuckles. Showtime.
The pair of Shifters sat on Kat's bed and sighed, enjoying the sweet taste of life one learns to appreciate after a near-death experience. They tasted it a lot.
"Well hey, at least we got the photos."
"Yeah, I guess."
Silence. Uncomfortable.
"You know, you look amazing in that dress."
"Really?"
"Stunning."
It came out almost reverent, but Raven didn't care. It was true. Kat looked at her for possibly the longest moment of her life, then grabbed her and threw her up into a standing position.
"Kat? What was th-" Raven started, but stopped when she turned around to see Kat laying back on the bed, eyes boring directly into Raven's. And her dress was much lower now. Not low enough to expose anything, but Raven's mind still short-circuited at the sight.
"You know Raven," Kat purred (ha) as she drew Raven in with the motion of a finger. "I am happy to have you back."
Raven was floating in the air above Kat's prone form. She was drifting closer and closer to Kat.
"So."
Their noses were touching.
"Very."
Their noses were pressed against each other.
"Happy."
It was said directly into her lips.
Raven was the luckiest woman alive.
