Chapter three

A love, a life.

Starfire came down stairs in her uniform ready for a day of fighting villains. "Hello Friend Raven!" Starfire said as she entered the kitchen. Raven Ignored her and walked past her into the living room.

"I was thinking that perhaps you and I could venture into the mall of shopping later today." Starfire said to raven following her into the living room. "I saw this new Shoe in Payless that I wish to buy. "

"Sure Star. Whatever." Raven said picking up a book that she had left on the coffee table.

{O_O} =^-^=

Jason teleported into his room soon after Raven had fallen asleep. He knew this wasn't… HER. He walked over to his bed and pulled off his mask. He held it in hands and thought for a moment, "Why did I steal this damn thing….."

"I Don't know Jason. Why do you do a lot of things?" His sister said behind him.

"Veronica….. I thought you were in Paris with mom….." He said without looking at her. She flipped her black hair behind her shoulder.

"One can only take so much of mom, I came back early. Any luck finding dad?" She asked.

"Ronnie, I stopped looking for him two years ago, He left…. He's good at hiding." Veronica came close to him and took the mask out of his hands.

"Ya know last year when one of my old friends emailed me that news story saying that the 'Famous' Red x suit had been stolen, I could only know it was you." She said as she looked the mask over, "Wow…. A great steal Jason. Last time you and I talked you said you were going to stop stealing things. What happened?"

"I missed the adrenaline… and Plus those anti-depressants stopped working." He said he still wouldn't look at her.

"Sweetie that is when you go to your psychiatrist and ask for new meds." She said trying to look into his Blue green eyes. But his black Hair hid them from her.

"What about you Ronnie? Ya still in the business of killing people?" Jason said snatching the mask out of her hand and throwing it on the bad. He pulled his shirt off and threw it down and walked towards the closet. Veronica stared at the multiple scars on his back.

"Jason…."

"They're scars they won't heal. I am sorry." Jason said pulling out a black button up shirt. He pulled it on and made quick work of buttoning it up.

"Yeah. I am still a hired gun." She said quietly as if ashamed.

"How in hell did this family get so messed up. I mean think about it. You're an assassin, our dad was abusive, and he left us…. Our mom Ran away to Paris….. You lived with her for the past two years and we talked twice. Jacob is dead." Jason said pulling out a black pair of pants, He pulled them over his Red x pants and pulled out his back pack. He put the shirt and the mask inside and made sure his shirt covered his Belt.

"I don't wanna talk about him."
