As Raven headed home her thoughts were plagued by the pink haired sorceress; the kiss on the cheek took her by surprise but she wasn't mad, she was…jittery? No. Raven was never or will ever be jittery but here she is walking home, holding her cheek, fighting the urge to call her just to talk. Raven was thinking on her way home "Robin has Star and Cy has Bee…so why cant Jinx be for me?" but she has to shake the thoughts from her head.
The street lights were beginning to bend a little and she didn't want to make a scene. Raven walked past the gas station that was across the café, the place was still wreck but some how it seemed fitting.
Our first date was in a café across from a broken gas station…wait…it wasn't a date. Raven thought with a sense of nostalgia already.
"My God, I sound love sick already." She mumbled out loud to herself already in a haze.
AS Raven walked in to the tower she realized it was empty, not a person watching T.V. a little to loudly or any random explosions coming from some distant room. It was a welcome rarity, few times have all of the Titans but Raven been out at once without some lunatic trying to do something illegal. Raven hovered in front of the tea kettle, now lost in thought.
"Robin would be beyond pissed if I brought Jinx here…would Star keep him calm?" Raven thought. Raven was pondering this until the kettle screamed. The tea was bitter, 2 sugar cubes didn't help sweeten taste, by the time the tea was to her liking, the sorceress' brain was a buzz from the sugar.
"Wonder if this is how she feels all the time?" Raven thought out loud.
"Who's she?" Robin questioned, caching Raven by surprise.
"Just Jinx" Raven mumbled, not realizing she did so.
"Did I hear that right?" Robin asked, now playing detective.
"Hum, what did I say?" Raven asked, unaware that she answered a question.
"I think you said 'Lemiwinks' or 'Something's jinxed'." Robin confusedly said.
"I didn't say anything Robin…I don't know what you heard but I said nothing." Raven spoke as if he was a small lost child, shaking her head a little.
"Awesome, so find anything out?" Robin asked, changing the subject.
"A few things but nothing concrete." Raven spoke vaguely, hoping he got the hint.
"Like…?" Robin asked, finally interested in the conversation.
"I talked to someone who will speak to someone else and will take it-" Raven was cut off by her communicator ringing.
"Hey Raven…sorry about that, kinda surprised you." Jinx said sadly.
"Do you mind? I have to take this, Boy Wonder…it was a nice surprise." Raven spoke trying to be vague…but the sorceress' blush was making it hard for Robin not to pay attention to the conversation.
"You succumbed to my sexual advances didn't you? You're but putty in my hands." Jinx joked back in her hyper active state.
"I wouldn't go that far." said Raven, walking to her room away from wondering ears.
"Oh how far would you go?" Jinx's words were filled to the brim with sexual tension.
"How about we do something later?" Raven asked trying to not laugh at Jinx's childish advances that still somehow managed to work.
"If 'later' is tomorrow then we're good." Jinx demanded.
"So…yeah, when and where, I picked the last place so now it's your turn." Raven said uncertainly
"I am thinking lunch somewhere in the mall. That work with you?" Jinx asked.
"Yeah that's good. See yah when I see yah, Jinx." Raven said.
"So it's a date." Jinx said with a little too much enthusiasm.
"See you then." Raven said feeling another presence out side her door.
"See yah when I'm looking at yah." Jinx said.
Raven flipped the communicator shut and walked to her door. As it opened she saw Robin out side the door
Robin spoke as if Raven just committed heresy or something. "Who was that and what's going on?"
Raven tried to be calm but the mask was beginning to crack. "It was no one. Don't worry about it OK? It is and will remain handled."
Rabin looked Raven in the eye as if he was trying to see something. "You are aware that someone went to work on the chief of police right? Got both of his legs and one of his arms broken, he won't walk for a few weeks at the earliest."
Raven's eyes went wide. "You're kidding me. Who did it?" The words came out rushed and urgent.
"No clue, who ever did it snuck up on him or scared him so bad he is keeping his mouth shut." Said Robin as if it was the weather
"He wouldn't be trying to get them back would he?" Raven asked hoping Jinx didn't do this.
"I am counting on it, but honestly I thing it was the damn information broker we have been looking for." Robin said as he walked away.
Raven spent the rest of her day in deep meditation; her mind had grown not only restless but also moody. The vary fabric of Raven's psyche, which is already fragile with the constant pressure the many personalities it incases, was now bearing even more weight with the entire Jinx thing as well as the stress of catching this illusive information broker.
As Raven awoke she found that her things were haphazardly thrown around in her room almost as if a small tornado came by but Raven knew the cause; the dark pit in her stomach told her what she needed to know. The darkness that was both her blessing and curse seemed to be dwelling on her inability to not care. Not like with Terra, which is just one mild annoyance, she could put up with that, but the life and death feeling she had not to mention the odd feeling she had when it came to Jinx having a hand in the chief of police getting his comeuppance but that was not the problem at hand. Putting all of her things in their rightful place took priority at the moment; she could ask Jinx what happened when they saw one another for their little date.
One thing that caught her eye was an old book, the once blue cover faded until its red, almost pink, bindings were close to seen. One she read once but didn't quite like, the antagonist and protagonist were both lovers and mortal foes. The book held a odd meaning for her, it was one of her few possessions that were once her mothers, they knew more from trying to kill one another than anyone should yet still they looked past it all in a search for love…beside that they both died a violent death at each others hands, it was a nice love story.
As Raven got up to leave her communicator went off. The disruption was downtown. She heard the house come alive with lights and sound, Beast Boy was running with Terra close behind. She felt the car start and knew she had to move or they would know something was up. Ravens emotions were in a whirlwind, it was beyond dangerous for her to do anything involving her powers but she had to, Raven was a guardian of this city, she is not allowed to be weak, to be unable to fight for she was that fine line between anarchy and justice.
