Chapter Three

Raven slept a restless sleep that night. She couldn't forgive herself for causing the girl pain, but that wasn't the only thing that kept her up. That note. She couldn't help feeling the letter had been sincere. She could feel something darker coming. But the sun came up and those feelings dispersed. Instead she was left exhausted and still depressed over what had happened.

Raven forced herself out of her bed early in the morning. No one was up and about. They probably wouldn't be for another hour or two. She went up to the roof after fixing herself a cup of herbal tea to meditate and watch the sunrise. It was relaxing, but she was still apprehensive. She wanted to make sure Nikki was alright. She had done all the healing she could after the surgeon had removed the bullet. That was another reason she was so exhausted. Usually Raven could do with out a nights sleep for a while, but not now. She had overworked herself.

After trying to meditate, and failing, she went back inside to find everyone was still asleep. No surprise there.

Raven wandered aimlessly around the tower. She walked down to the bottom of the tower and had started on her way back up when she heard a knock at the door.

Raven looked at the door in bewilderment. It was still very early and most people used the doorbell. Curious, Raven opened the door.

It was the priest from the other night. He was wearing the same clothes he had been that night. He had a light smile on his face and bags under his eyes.

"Hello." He greeted warmly.

"Hello?" Raven said still not understanding the situation.

"I hope I didn't wake you," Brother Curry said softly.

"No, you didn't. What are you doing here…"

"Curry. Stephen Curry. I just wanted to thank you for saving my life last night. I am truly grateful.

Raven's spirit was warmed a little, knowing she did something good. "I was happy to help, I just wish…" Raven trailed off.

"None the less, I am still grateful. It would be my honor if you would take this gift." he said removing a small box from his robes.

Raven was baffled. No one she'd saved had ever given her a gift. Let alone thank her. This was very different from what she was used to.

Raven took the box. Brother Curry waited for her to open it. Raven gave him one last look and opened the box. Inside was a simple necklace. A small red jewel at the end of a thin, delicate, silver chain. It was actually pretty. Raven looked up to thank the man and give it back, but he was gone.

***

Raven tried to find Brother Curry, but couldn't. Instead, she decided to wear it as a reminder to be more careful. She wore it to always remember Nikki, and to make sure a similar situation never happened.

Once the rest of the Titans had woken up, Cyborg drove them to the hospital and tried to visit Nikki, but her mother didn't want them to. Raven's head sunk at the news of the mothers detests. They all started on their way back home. That's when trouble began.

They received an alarm from a nearby bank and rushed off to stop the perpetrator. They arrived earlier than they would have, but found it void of all life, money strewn all over the floor. The Titans cautiously walked through investigating silently when there was an explosion outside. They rushed out to find that the T-Car had been destroyed. As Cyborg cried over his car, the others kept a look out.

Beast Boy spotted movement on one of the roofs. He turned into a small bird and silently alerted the rest of the team by flying by them before moving over to where he had seen something. He landed on the roof above an alley and glanced down. Nothing. He continued searching the cracks of the city's buildings while the other Titans did their own investigations. Starfire joined Beast Boy in the skies while Cyborg used his technology to scan the area of any life. He couldn't find anything. Robin went back inside the bank to gather evidence.

Raven sighted a ten dollar bill blowing across a street and walked towards it. It silently swept itself back behind a building. Raven walked the opposite way that the money was blowing. That led her to a small alley. A dead end. Raven stood there for a moment, analyzing everything. Seeing nothing, she turned around to head back only to find Cinderblock standing in her way. Raven quickly reached for her communicator.

Robin and Cyborg answered first. "What's up?" Cyborg asked.

"Cinderblock," Raven replied before being forced to close it from dodging a giant trash can that Cinderblock had picked up and thrown at her.

Raven levitated to Cinderblock's height and tried to push him backwards into the street with her magic. She managed to make him retreat a couple of steps before he got a hold of a car and threw it towards her. Raven focused on the flying car and caught it midair and threw it back at the giant. It did little to no damage, but the other Titans were arriving.

Starfire threw star bolts while Cyborg blasted away with his sonic cannon. Robin threw mini explosives, all this causing the giant rock to stumble and fall. He quickly got back up and Beast Boy challenged him by turning into a T-Rex and tackling him back to the ground. Beast Boy was easily brushed aside, crushing a few cars on the side of the road. Cinderblock was already back up and taking all the Titans attention. Raven was about to join when all their communicators went off. More trouble.

"Let's hurry and wrap this up. Looks like it might be a long day." Robin said.

Raven sighed. She was exhausted, but quickly helped her friends restrain cinderblock for the police to take him away. They quickly rushed off to the next trouble site, hoping they weren't to late.

They weren't. Well, actually they were, but they were just the common thieves and the police already had it under control. After making sure everything really was under control, the Titans left for home.

Raven immediately went to her room. Beast Boy noticed and chased after her.

"Hey," He said putting a hand on her shoulder. She stopped. "Everything okay?"

"I just need some sleep is all." Raven said softly.

"You know we don't blame you, right?"

"For what?"

"For what happened. To the girl."

Raven nodded and walked away. She fell asleep as soon as she hit her bed.

Hoped you enjoyed that. next chapter will be much more interesting. later!
