Chapter 3
The limo drove up the long driveway and finally reached Wayne Manner. Raven got out of the car and looked up at the fantastic mansion, and shook her head in disbelief.
"What's wrong," Bruce asked.
"Nothing," Raven declared, "This is amazing."
"Well.. It's home," they both smiled. The walked up tons of steps, and Raven was surprised at how the elder man could do it with what seemed no problem. They got to tremendous double doors, which opened upon their arrival. They walked in, and Bruce gently ordered someone to make some snacks. "Are you hungry?" Bruce asked, and Raven shook her head, trying not to seem too eager. Then carried on to the kitchen, where small sandwiches and drinks were already placed on the table. The both sat down and started to eat.
After Raven had filled up a little, she began to remember where and how she got there. Questions began to arise in her mind. Why did he drop the charges? Why did he bring me here? Then she finally asked, "How do you know me?"
Bruce, looked over the rim of his glasses at her, as he finished chewing. He placed the rest of the sandwich down and leaned back in his chair.
"How do I not know you? You are Raven! You are a Titan!," Raven looked down and nibble a bit on the half eaten sandwich, "aren't you?", Bruce finished now staring hard at her.
"No," Raven said, still not looking at him, "not anymore."
"Oh, what happened?
"Nothing."
"Oh really, because this," Bruce looked her up and down, "This is not nothing."
"What do you car-.. Look we had a difference of opinion, and things just didn't work out."
"Ok, fair enough. Look-"
"Umm.. Thank you for the hospitality Mr. Wayne, but its time for me to go."
"Raven I did not mean to offend you. You are welcome to go whenever you please. But I have a proposition for you. If you come and work for my company, you can stay here as long as you like. That way, you can get back on your feet." Raven looked at him wide-eyed. She could not believe what she heard.
"Why are you doing this?"
"You saved many cities and people all over the world when you were with the Titans; it's the least I can do."
"But I don't know anything about business."
"You're a very smart girl, a survivor. You'll be ok. "
"Thank you," she said with a giant smiled on her face.
"You start tomorrow," Bruce turned and walked away. Someone came and took Raven to her room. She showered, and then laid in her very own bed for the first time in a year.
Coming Up Next: Time has passed, and Raven has been working for Wayne Enterprises and living at the manor for a while. But what she discovers underneath the manner shocks her! Exciting one coming up so stay tuned!
