Hey everyone! I'm back and back in action! I got me some meds and now im better than ever! Ok so where were we?...
Chapter 14: Fun?
"Great." Raven muttered to herself, beginning to regret her answer. What did I just do? She heaved a huge sigh and resumed her endless journey back to the safe confines of her room. She finally reached the outer limits of her room. As the door swished open and she immediately felt a wave of dark relief wash over her calm features. She closed her eyes and a small smile tugged at the outer limits of her lips. A poised, elegant smile that no one would ever be good enough to see.
The darkness always calmed her. Though Beast boy may call her weird and creepy, it was a fact that the darkness sometimes seemed like the only relief from her troubled and tiresome life of crime-fighting. Though there were many other things, like meditating and reading, they seemed more like preoccupants. She couldn't bring herself to understand how darkness had gotten such a bad reputation in the eyes of her friends. Perhaps other than Robin, it seemed like the others were, almost afraid of it. She could always see that anxious look in Cyborg's eye, though he may not fess up to it. Beastboy always seemed disgusted by the darkness, for as soon as he entered any room he hastily made for the light switch. And Starfire, she seemed to naïve, though Raven knew she was far from that, to even mention anything even remotely pertaining to the dark shadows that Raven felt so comforted by.
Now Raven, although liking the darkness much more, did not hate the light, Far from it. Light seemed like an acceptable companion for when she was reading and doing many of her other daily tasks. However, the light always seemed like a short-term fix. She would always do the task at hand and then shut off the lights when she finished. The light seemed only capable of being solely at the power of her own hand. She would create the faux light in a room of the titan's tower, then she could easily kill it with the slightest flick of her finger tips. Though there was the natural light from the sun, which Raven also felt comforted by, to an extent, there was just something about the darkness that completely her so sweetly. If only everyone could view things this way.
Raven snapped out of her drawn out thoughts and sat at her ancient-looking vanity. She gazed at herself in the mirror. She saw a tired looking girl that seemed as if she had given-up on feeling all together. This girl in the mirror didn't even resemble Raven, or so she had thought. She sighed as she was drawn back into her thoughts.
She had always wanted to be a normal teenager. Although many teenagers would argue that they weren't normal and that they had problems much like herself, she knew that they would never understand. Although she did find some comfort in the clique known as the 'goth kids,' she knew that although they knew much of her despair, they could never fully understand as well. She even wanted to be one of them, but her powers brought a hinder that even the strongest sorcerer couldn't break. She was unable to feel, and this fact brought about a reality to her that was so harsh and demanding that she could barely stand even being. She was so envious of others, even to the point of doing something about it. However, she knew that not even the darkest, most powerful magic could do anything to fix her. But the other, more outspoken side of her mind had to chime in. Why should she have to fix herself just to please other people? I mean she was from Azarath, she wasn't human. So why should she have to change her personality and interests to be justifiable to a race of people that she didn't belong to in the slightest bit? The answer was, she didn't. She didn't have to change herself just to fit in. This reply, though just recently showing itself in her thoughts, was apparent everyday she kept her calm, dark exterior. She kept her face emotionless and her hobbies quiet and withdrawn because she knew that she didn't need to prove anything to anyone. She saved the citizens of Jump City on a daily basis, and if that wasn't good enough for them, then she didn't know what was. Somehow she still felt a sense of want, however. Just for one day to be one of them. To be just a normal Joe walking down the streets, stopping to buy a newspaper or feeding the birds in the park. Just for one day, she wanted to feel like them, she wanted to feel. But then her motto popped up in her head and ended any other depressing thoughts, 'Just get through this day.'
She rose from her comfortable velvet seat of her old vanity and lay on her bed. She felt a small sense of happiness to finally be included in Starfire's activities she deemed "fun," yet she also felt a sense of dread. Ever since Raven was a child, anytime she did anything that was the essence of fun, something bad and terrible lingered just after the activity was to be completed. Raven closed her eyes tight, blocking the horrible memories of her past, and began to concentrate on her breathing. She felt each smooth breath as it filled her lungs and expanded her chest, and exited, compressing her slender frame once again. Although during her mediation sessions, she always found it easier to concentrate when chanting her mantra, tonight she found it easy to slip into a dream-filled slumber while concentrating on the rising and falling of her own chest.
All seemed quiet in the Titan's Tower. Raven's companions had also induced themselves in a peaceful doze. As the sun slowly rose, the serene rays collided with the warm metal frame of the T shaped tower standing motionlessly in the bay of Jump City. As the placid beams of the sun filed through the windows, warming the innards of the tower it hit a single source of resistance, stemming from a room towards the top of the tower. Raven's thick dark drapes, imprisoned the darkness in her room. Shunning the glimmering rays of the sun away from her compound and urging them to seek another room to fill its warmth with. However, a small leak in the curtains allowed a single strand of light to barge in, whipping itself right across Raven's right eye. She furrowed her brow in anger and opened it slightly to see what was causing her discomfort. She immediately shut it when the relentless gleam of light pierced her slightly blood shot eye.
"Ugh." She groaned, resembling an adolescent requesting his mom to give him five more minutes after rousing him from a deep sleep. She sat up in her bed, her thin blankets falling easily from her upper-body. She turned and glared at the small gap in her curtains that was just destined to be placed exactly so, in order to stir her from her pleasant sleep. She angrily revived her rested legs and stomped over to her curtains, roughly sewing up the gap and hindering the light from entering her dim territory ever again. She took a long breath, attempting to subdue the anger that was rising inside her. It would be foolish to get so worked up over such a small inconvenience, even if it had woken her from a highly valued slumber. She shook her head, and with it, all the negative thoughts that had so easily escaped her barrier.
She walked silently over to her door, exiting her room and heading for her bathroom that Robin had given her for her own use. He was always unsure of what to say whenever Raven asked him why he had given her her own bathroom. He usually said something about her being a girl and quickly changed the subject. She knew the real reason of course, for he had given Starfire her own as well, but she just liked the blush creep on his cheeks and him scrambling for words when he normally always knew the right thing to say. She chuckled internally as she reached the door to her private lavatory. She flicked on the lights, wincing slightly as their cruel, unforgiving rays perforated her eyesight temporarily. She blinked several times to mend her blinded eyes, successfully doing so after about a million winks.
She seized an over-sized, fluffy, white towel, and turned the hot water knob on her shower. She turned the cold water knob slightly less, wanting a hotter shower. As she began to undress she glanced around her wash-white, bleached bathroom. Although she liked the darkness, and decorating her room just so, she always like the bathroom to resemble a sterilized and efficiently sanitized domain that seemed incapable of getting even the slightest bit of mold or mildew. She finished peeling off her leotard and hopped into the scolding heat of the water. She instantly felt calmed and slightly hazy as the water washed away the stains from the previous day.
The steamed escaped from its forced prison as Raven pulled back the glass door, revealing her dripping wet, towel-clad body. She began to dry herself off and squeegee her hair, letting the water leisurely drip down a drenched strand and plummet down towards the fuzzy white rug where it would eventually dry up and die. Raven breathed in the steam, letting the heat clear her senses as she folded the towel to cover her body. She concentrated and teleported to her room, unwilling to let anyone see her so exposed.
She ceased her powers in the middle of her room, letting her towel drop and swiping a clean leotard from her endless supply in her closet. She dressed hurriedly, although knowing that no one was there, she was always paranoid about exposing her body, even when she was alone. Although she did wear a revealing costume, it still somehow felt wrong to her. She pulled the fresh leotard over her chest and pulled her arms through the sleeves, completing the task by zipping the back up to her neck. She pulled on her boots and spied her cloak, that must have unfastened itself somehow deep within her REM cycle. Though she doesn't usually wear it when she sleeps, she had forgotten to remove it the night before, which she doesn't often to either.
She breathed and closed her eyes once, admiring the darkness which plagued her room one last time before the unbeknownst events of her day were about to unfold.
She walked out of her room, slightly annoyed how the change of atmosphere from the hall to her room could be so shocking. She walked down the empty, undecorated corridor, making plans to decorate the hallway that she would never follow through with.
Her soft footsteps eventually brought her to the tower's main room, where most of the action would go on for the day, for Robin Beast boy and Cyborg at least. The thought of Starfire and her going out today, still afflicted her mind. Though she might have a good time, it was most certain than not that she would not enjoy herself even the slightest. With Starfire it was always the happy, everyone-loves-me stores, which made Raven feel slightly nauseated. It never ceased to amaze her how different her and Starfire really were. Yet they could still be close friends, which made the unsettling feeling of their differences slightly less.
Raven made for her usual routine of heating a pot of water to steep her herbal tea in, but she stopped. Maybe I should actually eat something; I mean I do have more patience on a full stomach. She thought gingerly as the spot in the cupboard where her mug and box of tea bags normally stood were filled once again with the items. She walked over to the refrigerator, where, normally fungus was growing, ready to take over the entire tower. However, Starfire and Robin's recent trip to the grocery store and Beastboy's recent loss to a bet in where he must clean out the kitchen if lost left the refrigerator sparkling clean and fully stocked. Raven pilfered an apple, a slice of bread and some strawberry flavored jam. She mechanically made her toast and inhaled the meal quickly, forgetting how hungry she actually was.
She was busy doing her dishes, disinclined to leave her dirty dishes the only ones present in the sink, when she was interrupted by a loud, irritating voice.
"Hello friend!" Starfire exclaimed joyously.
Raven merely nodded, neither turning to acknowledge her, nor reply to her merry greeting.
"Are you not thrilled for our trip to 'the mall of shopping' today?!" Starfire asked, unsure of her choice of words. Although she knew English to a "t," her many years spent on her home planet of Tamaran had left her with little knowledge of the "earth culture."
"Yeah, thrilled." Raven replied, hiding her sarcasm, though she knew Starfire would not pick it up anyways.
"Oh glorious! Shall we proceed then?" She responded, more of a demand than a request as she took hold of Raven forearm and practically drug her out of the tower and into the city.
"What about the others?" Raven asked, out of breath from struggling to break free from Starfire's vice grip.
"I have already informed them, they would like to meet us for lunch later." Starfire said, unaware that Raven was attempting to disentangle herself from her strong hold.
They arrived a few minutes later at the huge mall. Many people were taking advantage of the beautiful day and out and about with their friends and family. A few people looked up in the sky at the flying heroes, some pointing and awing and a few others showing their children and having them wave and smile. Raven looked away in embarrassment; she didn't like to be looked at in that way. She didn't like to be considered different, though she had to face facts that she indeed was far different from them.
They landed softly near the outskirts of the malls entrance. Starfire released her clench on Raven; she in turn flexed her wrist and fingers, trying to get a small amount of feeling back in her arm.
"Oh, where shall we go first friend Raven?!" Starfire gasped, jumping up and down in excitement.
"How about the book store?" Raven offered, just to see what Starfire's reply would be.
She had an expression on her face that showed amusement, as if Raven was joking, but then it turned serious and showed of extreme discomfort. "Oh, well, yes, yes I agree friend, off to the store of books!" She answered, placing her cheerful expression on her exterior. And off they went, however to not attract too much attention they walked instead of flew, although they still did get some amazed stares.
They entered the store that reeked of old dried parchment and dust. Raven inhaled the familiar scent gladly, while Starfire crinkled her nose in disgust. Raven turned to Starfire, not sure where she should go next. She knew that Starfire's point in planning this outing was for them to have fun together, to find some activity they had in common. She debated on whether she should help Starfire, who also stood in uncomfortable silence, or walk off to her favorite section of the store. She sighed, letting her conscience get the best of her.
"So what do you like to read?" Raven asked, actually interested in her answer. This might actually be the time where Raven can learn more about her alien comrade.
"Um, I am not certain, I don't own many earth books." Starfire responded, receiving a weird look from the cashier running the store.
"Well let's see..." Raven said aloud, trying to think of the categories she might have interest in. "We could try psychology." Raven said, leading Starfire over to the thick shelves teaming with books of every sort.
Starfire picked up a random one and opened it up, eyes scanning across the pages. "Raven, what is a Sigmund Freud?" She asked, extremely puzzled by the book.
"Ok maybe not psychology." Raven decided, taking the book and replacing it on the shelf. "How about fantasy." She thought aloud, walking to the other side of the small store.
Starfire selected a book and began reading it. Raven raised an eyebrow, for it seemed that Starfire was interested in it so far. A few minutes later, Starfire looked up confused as before.
"Friend, what is a unicorn? Is this a creature on this planet that I have not heard of before?" She asked.
Raven merely sighed and took the book from Starfire and put it back on the shelf as well. "Well we could try graphic novels." Raven suggested, trying to be patient, but slowly realizing that it was going to be tremendously hard to find something in common with the alien girl. Raven lead her over to the graphic novels section and picked up a manga and handed it to her.
"This book has pictures in it!" Starfire said, excitedly.
"Mmhmm." Raven said, rubbing her temples as she felt a headache coming one.
Suddenly Starfire's bell-like laughter rang through out the entire store. "This girl, Kagome, tells this dog boy to sit! And he must do it because of the necklace he wears!" She shook with laughter flipping through the pages with excitement.
"Well, I think we found the section for you." Raven said in amusement, walking to her own favorite section, the horror novels, and leaving Starfire to read every single graphic novel that the book store owned.
Raven smiled slightly, knowing that Starfire and her bond just grew immensely. She couldn't believe it. Her and Starfire. Starfire seemed too cheery and peppy to have any interest in books, yet she never ceased to amaze her, as she had thought earlier.
Raven was broken out of her pleasant thoughts when a book seemed to fly out right out from the shelf it was stationed on and dropped down by her feet, showing the black type on its beige, slightly ruffled pages. Raven looked down at the book and looked around warily. She heard Starfire's laugh ring out again, knowing that it wasn't her trying to play a joke on her, not that she would even dare. Raven resumed her walk to her section, yet vigilant as ever. She picked out what seemed to be a good read and began to flip through the pages in apparent interest. All the while she was focusing her hearing on anything she could pick up in her general vicinity. She heard the drumming of the cashier's fingers on the counter in boredom, Starfire's laughter, a child crying for his mother outside of the store, but nothing else seemed to tip her off into thinking that someone else was there. Although she had thought it was impossible to think that the book had fallen by itself, it seemed to be glued into the shelf with the other books, she decided that she ought to give it the benefit of the doubt and ignore her troubling thoughts that perhaps Red-X was on the prowl again.
She read a few more pages from the book she had and decided that it would be a 'buyer.' She turned back to where she had just come from, ready to get Starfire, pay for their things, and leave, when she noticed something. The book she had left lying open on the floor was back on the shelf, however it was only half on and was teetering on the edge, ready to plummet to the ground once again. I didn't touch that book. Raven thought, staring at the swaying book. Before it could fall she reached out and pushed it all the way in, perfecting the jam-packed shelf of books once again. She breathed in annoyance, but decided that it was just best to leave this haunted store before more weird stuff began to plague her. Raven dragged Starfire away from her section, carrying about 20 graphic novels in her hand, intent on buying all of them. Raven paid for her horror novel first, not attempting politeness on the plainly jaded cashier. Who would not want to work here? Being surrounded by the best literature in the world. It was beyond her.
Starfire then pushed all her 20 graphic novels onto the counter. "How much, good sir?" She asked, pulling out a huge wad of cash from her left boot.
"For you it's a discount." He smiled and leaned over the counter a little closer to Starfire. Raven rolled her eyes and scowled, loud enough for them both to hear.
"Oh, why thank you." She replied, flashing her 100- watt smile and handed him a 50 dollar bill. He shoved Starfire's novels into a huge bag and handed it to her, purposely clasping onto the bag just long enough to slightly graze her hand. Raven saw this and scowled even louder.
"So I don't see many girls in here." He started, flirty with the oblivious Starfire.
Raven stared at the sight in disbelief. She was in this bookstore almost everyday, and while she occasionally chatted with a few of his other co workers, she had despised this pathetic excuse for a man since the day he had become employed there. The only time she went out was either to her poetry café, or here. She often saw many other women frequent the shop as well, a few of them even seemed nice enough that she had gotten to know them. I think what he meant to say was there weren't many beautiful girls that come here. She thought, wrinkling her nose in disgust at the 40 year old man, attempting to flirt with a girl who had just recently entered her womanhood. Raven had had enough of this jerk, and was determined to do something about it.
"Starfire, come on, let's go." She chose to say, as she took hold of Starfire's arm and pulled lightly.
"Thank you." She managed to say before Raven dragged her completely out of the store.
Raven took one last look to see the man giving her a death defying glare, which she returned with delight. "Ok, so what's next?" She couldn't believe what she was saying. Starfire would either pick Claire's or Forever 21, she knew her well enough to know this.
"Well, I was thinking Claire's," She looked at Raven's face, and could plainly see discomfort, "but you would not want to accompany me there."
Raven was thankful for the ending Starfire had put on, but she just felt plain guilty. Starfire had gone into the book store with her, even though Raven could easily see that she had not wanted to. I'm sure I can last 20 minutes in a girly store. She decided. "No, it's okay, we can go there, I don't mind."
"Glorious!" Starfire exclaimed, barely containing her enthusiasm as the escalator slowly ascended.
As soon as they entered the store Raven's eyesight was blinded by cute plush animals, heart shaped jewelry, and an overall tone of her least favorite color, pink. Raven looked interested in the necklace section to please Starfire as she rushed about, taking in every pink toned heart.
Raven glanced over the selection of hair accessories. She eyed a package of scrunchies, completely displaying the rainbow spectrum. She swallowed hard to keep her breakfast down. She then moved onto the hair ties that came with faux blonde hair attachments. She looked over them in amazement, thinking of how she would look with her violet hair up in a pony tail, with a waterfall of blonde entangled within it. She shook the disturbing image from her mind, smiling ever so slightly.
Raven was suddenly interrupted by a calmed Starfire. Raven eyed her warily, her posture seem to resemble someone who was discomforted. Starfire had her hands behind her back and eyed the ground, toeing at the pink and purple tiles. "Um, Raven?" She said looking into her eyes, but then looking away a few seconds later.
"Yes?" Raven asked, completely weirded out by Starfire's strange withdrawn behavior.
"Well, I have been on this planet for some time now. I have seen many people become close friends. They call it the best friends. And, well I was wondering, if maybe…" She trailed off, revealing her hands and the tiny charm bracelet she held in them. Raven immediately recognized it as a 'Best friends bracelet.' "Maybe, perhaps we could be the best friends?"
Raven eyed the bracelet. She had never been asked such a serious question, especially by Starfire. She had always thought that Starfire had no interest in her and only been nice because they were team mates. I guess I was wrong. She thought as her vision became slightly blurry. She blinked several times, showing her emotions could be especially lethal here. Raven slowly reached out and took the bracelet from Starfire's hands. It was a heart, broken into two pieces, one half of the heart for each of them. Raven eyes glanced across the completed heart and it read "Best Friends Forever." She leisurely ran her fingers over the heart and unfastened one of the bracelets from the packaging. She secured the metal clasp around her wrist. "Sure Starfire, I'd love to." She could see Starfire present the biggest, happiest smile that Raven had ever seen her demonstrate. She flew into Raven, enveloping her into a bone-crushing hug.
"Glorious." Was all she could say.
"Um, but one thing Starfire." Raven said in-between gasps for air.
"Yes?"
"No hugs." Raven breathed her last bit of air.
"Oh, yes." Starfire released her immediately, blushing enormously. She giggled and rushed off to go pay for the bracelet. Leaving Raven in her thoughts.
Raven brought up her arm so the bracelet dangled in front of her line of sight. It jingled slightly from the movement and Raven could see a blurry reflection of herself in the shinny metal. Though she could not be certain, she thought she saw the tired reflection of the girl she had seen in the mirror previously this morning change into a content, less sorrowful girl. She slowly let a smile creep on her lips, not making any attempt to hide it from the rest of the world. She brought her arm down and watched as Starfire approached her, clasping her half of the bracelet onto her wrist as Raven had done. She saw Raven's smile and grinned back.
They left the store that Raven no longer felt uncomfortable in. The duo went to a few more stores. Hot Topic, where Starfire and Raven tried on the Halloween costumes. Forever 21, where Starfire modeled some clothes and tried to get Raven to try some as well. And the Body Shop, where they both equally found interest and picked up bottles of herb scented lotions and fragrant body spray.
"Hey there you guys are!" They were finally interrupted by a frazzled looking Beastboy. "We've been looking all over for you!" He pulled out his communicator and called Cyborg and Robin. "You were supposed to meet us for lunch, remember?"
Starfire and Raven looked at each other. "Sorry, guess we got carried away." Raven monotoned, Starfire giggling in her hand behind her.
"Well, come on then." Beastboy replied, apparently to lazy to demand a certifiable answer.
Both the girls drew up their many bags and followed Beastboy to the Pizza Shop, where the other two team members were supposedly waiting. Though the girls had many bags, they both knew that they now had something that money could never buy.
"Finally! I'm Starving!" Cyborg exclaimed as soon as he saw Beastboy with Starfire and Raven lagging behind him.
"Why did not you just consume the pizza with out us?" Starfire asked, sitting down next to Robin and sitting her bags in such a way that they would stay up, while leaning against the leg of the table.
"Robin made us wait." Cyborg said, glaring at Robin.
"Hey, it was a team outing, so I thought we should all be here." Robin defending himself, raising his hands in protest.
"Well, we're all here now, so let's eat." Raven said, feeling her stomach empty once again.
The team consumed their fill, which consisted of 9 pizzas. Three vegetarian specials, four meat specials, one mustard, peppermint, and anchovy, and one half cheese half pepperoni which Robin and Raven ate.
While Starfire was acting as the referee in the eating contest between Cyborg and Beastboy, Raven and Robin sat quietly watching the spectacular event. As Raven finished her first slice she made a grab for the last one. Her hand collided with a gloved one as they both dueled for the last slice of their pizza.
"Oh sorry, you go ahead and have it." Robin said, withdrawing his hand.
"No no, it's ok, you go ahead." Raven replied withdrawing her hand as well.
"No really, you wanted it first." Robin said, determined to try extra hard to be nice to her.
"Here dudes, I can fix this." Beastboy interrupted. With a face like a vacuum he inhaled the last slice of pizza, leaving one empty pan and two angry glares. "What? I said I could fix it!" He said as he resumed ingesting his own veggie pizza.
"Friends, do you desire a slice of mine?" Starfire interjected, waving a slice of what looked like a piece of mutilated, year old pizza in their faces.
"Uh, no that's okay Starfire." Robin replied as Raven fanned the air around her, attempting to keep her already eaten pizza down.
"Very well." She said, swallowing the slice in her hand in one bite. A wave of nausea descended upon Raven and Robin merely furrowed his nose in disgust.
Raven sat in her seat, taking in everything. The beautiful day, the cheerful people around her, her friends. She couldn't believe how lucky she was. And despite the earlier nagging feeling of not wanting to go out with Starfire, well, it had vanished, just like the empty position needed of someone to be her best friend. She felt happy and content watching Beastboy cry over losing yet another bet while Cyborg rubbed it in his face. She felt jovial while surveying Starfire finishing her last slice of repulsive pizza. She felt at peace with the unsettling feeling of how to act around Robin. She felt all her dismal feelings evanescence into her mind-built barrier, where she hoped that they would never escape again.
As the titan's finished up their meal they all decided to catch a flick. It would help burn up what was left of their beautiful day. They all decided to let Beastboy pick the movie, since he would get so worked up if anyone else even remotely opposed his ideas. He picked a horror film, which suited Raven just fine, but sparked a nervous anxiety in the rest. As the motion picture commenced Raven could not concentrate on the movie. Though it was visually thrilling and suspenseful enough to suit her well, she could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. This feeling followed her through out the movie and the trip home, where she soon found out that her feeling was justified.
"Someone broke into the tower!" Cyborg exclaimed angrily in disbelief. "How! I have every high tech security measurement on the market, and a few that aren't!"
"Titan's split up, search the tower." Robin barked the order, and everyone was off to their rooms, starting in the place they thought was most valuable to them.
Raven teleported up to her room in a panic. Just when everything was going so right! She thought, her dark thoughts beginning to over take her once more. She found her door to be ripped from its hinges, yet everything seemed to be in place. She gazed over her room warily and vigilant, ready for the villain to shoot out from behind her curtains. As her eyes continue to gaze around her dwelling she found one thing to be out of place. A single red rose laying on her vanity.
