Something Important/POV
New Place
Ravens POV Titans Tower (Starts just before they go to attack Dr. Light During the Episode Birthmark...I think thats the name at least)
I was watching Cyborg and Beastboy playing video games, out of pure boredness. Starfire was cheering them both on. Robin was across from me playing chess. Though he was watching the others too.
"Checkmate" I muttered to him as I saw he face look to the board to confirm his fears. "Pay up Robin." He reluctantly handed me fifty dollars. Oh how I love winning.
"Ha, smoked your butt again Grass Stain." Cyborg exclaimed. He looked at both of us, then at the money in my hand. "Beat Robin at chess again Rae?" I nodded, he shook his head laughing. "Better stop while your ahead Robin." He advised our leader.
"No I'll beat her someday." I looked at him for a second before going to the kitchen to make tea. I sat down as I waited for the water to boil.
"Dude, how can you she beats everyone at everything, I mean there's practice, stradegy she's as good as Robin. Then there's combat and leadership. Yet, during all this you have to wonder what we actually know about her." Beastboy said with an actual smart question to the other Titans, probably, while I will be planning his slow and painful death.
"Why does it matter?" I asked him.
"Well, how do we know your not evil or something?" Beastboy retorted, I winced slightly on the inside.
"Grass Stain, Dark Girl over there has saved your sorry butt many times. Along with ours, if she was evil she would have killed us by now."Cyborg told him, I smiled as my older brother figure defended me. "Besides Rae-Rae has a very pure heart, whether she knows it or not." I looked at him questionably for a second before shrugging it off. Nothing to worry about now I guess.
"Well how do we know that for sure though? I mean, she could be just playing us for suckers. She has never told us about her home, nothing from her past, oh and lets not forget where or how she got her powers. Or why she's emotionless all the time! Heck I don't even think we know when her birthday is!" He said yelling out some very true facts.
I stood up from my sitting position from before. Then when I was fully standing I yelled back. "Why do I need to tell you about my past? What if its to painful for me to even think about? What if I'm trying to protect you all from something more powerful than all the superheros and villians in the world combined? What if I was born with my powers huh? And why do you care when my birthday is? Its only a day I was born, it isn't important!" I finished my rant and took a deep breathe to calm down. I felt my rage die down along with my breathes. I opened my eyes to see the others staring at me in shock.
"Why?" No one answered, not because they had an answer, but because the alarm went off. And from the living room we could see Dr. Light stealing electricity. I took off without my team. Thus, avoiding having to carry anyone and avoiding questions.
Theres a place
That I know
Its not pretty there
And few have ever gone
We defeated Dr. Light fairly easy, because of me. Since he was afraid of me, I just made myself grow to a bigger size. I went straight to the tower, knowing that time and destiny weren't on my side tonight. I had told the others I just wanted to get home before tomorrow. They didn't understand what I meant, but I knew what it did.
~Ravens In Her Room~
My birthday was in about 45 minutes. Goodie, note the sarcasm. I didn't want to be on Earth 'celebrating' it either. I wanted to be in my comfort place, a place I knew by heart without a thought, my home of Azarath. It wouldn't be pretty there though, since Trigon The Terrible destroyed it. Few people know about it, and few still go there. I am one of those few.
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
There's a knock on my door. I went to open it. Instead of finding someone who was going to interogate me, there was no one. Instead of going back inside my lovely dark and warm room. I let my curiosity get the best of me. I walked out and ended up in front of the living room door. Musing that the other Titans would know who knocked on my door. I opened the door to nearly got a heart attack. They did a surprise birthday party for me. How the hell did they friggin' know my birthday was today. One name came to mind. Beastboy. I had transported underneath the floor so I could get away to compose myself and eavesdrop.
"I knew this wasn't a good idea." I heard Robin sigh.
"I do not understand friends, wouldn't friend Raven have been excited and happy to have the day of her birth recongized?" Starfire naively questioned.
"I don't know Star, but Grass Stain it was a bad idea, Robin is as usual right." I sighed again at Cyborgs words. I also felt Anger trying to coax me into killing Beastboy. I transported myself behind Beastboy and spoke.
"What did you think you could gain from learning what today is?" I asked him coldly.
"Your happiness?" Beastboy asked more than said. I rolled my eyes.
"Please Rae we did a lot of this for ya! Besides I have a pinyata shaped like Beastboy you know you want to hit it." Cyborg coaxed. It, however, wasn't enough.
"NO" I screamed and everything blew up.
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
"I try to push you all away for your own safety. But all you do is keep coming closer and closer, one day you'll get hurt. I don't want any of you to get hurt because of me. But you will. That's it I'm leaving for your own safety." I yelled at them, using my emotions, for once, to my advantage. I walked out of the room. Sadly, I was followed out by Robin.
"Come on Rae, what's wrong?" He asked me.
"Nothing"
"That's a lie. We have a bond remember? I can tell somethings bothering you. If its the party, I'm sorry. We thought you would have liked it. How is leaving going to keep us safe? You know about medicine and healing the best. Your the strongest on the team. The party was more of a way for us to show you how much we love you, I love you." I thought I heard him mutter at the last part. He, surprisingly, continued. "Please don't leave us Rae, don't leave me." He finished. I pretended to ignore the last few personal lines he said, and kept walking.
"Robin you understand me the best out of everyone. Please let me go. I need to go and remind myself of who I really am. Not the Raven you and the others know. The other side of me will come out eventually and I need to keep it under control." I told him.
"If you let me in I could help you better. But if you don't want to then at least stay. Please." I gave into his pleading.
"Fine I'll stay, but I'm not going to let any of you in." I said as I entered my room and closed the door.
Everyones got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
In my room I felt my dark side fighting against my lighter side. It hurt like hell. Unfortunately for me the alarm went off and I had to go save the city. We arrived at a factory and saw the last person, that I ever wanted to see. Slade. He taunted us at first, then started attacking. But he didn't aim his attacks on the others, just me. He had my fathers symbol on his mask, which made me dodge with so much more effort and power than usual. Eventually, though I had to teleport away using my soul self. Why did this have to happen? Why this year? Why not the in a few more years?
So we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
I'm worth just enough on the planet to be able to stand up for myself. I won't let anyone do this. Or help me, I'm the last hope this planet has, and Trigon knows it. I won't lose this fight. After though, will everyone treat me the same? Since in order for this to happen, I have to destroy the planet I have come to know as my home. Will they hate me? Love me? Or be to scared to be near me? It doesn't matter anymore. People deserve a chance at life, instead of having it destroyed.
Like a diamond
From black dust
Its hard to know
It can become
Like how a diamond that gives off beauty, Earth is the diamond of this solar system. It the diamond is tainted or stained, it becomes useless. No one here would think that the planet would be destroyed because of a teenage girl.
"Raven!" I heard Robin yell at me in alarm, breaking me from my reverie. I had just enough time to dodge a kick to my stomach. I growled quietly at Slade.
"Give up Raven. You'll only bring more pain upon yourself." Slade told me calmly. Knowing I would hear and possibly listen. To bad that I decided to leave my 'listen to bad guys' ears at home.
"Make me!" I shouted back and teleport to stand by my friends. I stood in front of them, though. Protecting them from his attacks. "Why don't you go back to hell?" I asked as I shouted at him.
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everyones got a darkside
"Give up!"
"I would rather die!" I can't give up on anyone, anymore. I am doing what I wanted to do. I wasn't letting my dark side interfer with this. My people of Azarah, reminded me who I was. But my friends showed me who I really was, inside and out. I kept fighting him, not letting a single punch hit myself. He suddenly created fire, but didn't aim it at me. He aimed it at my friends, teammates, my family. I quickly teleported in front of them and put a forcefield around us. Before I could attack him again, he grabbed me and gave me my 'message' infront of my friends. When he let go, I fell...into Robins arms. They took me back to the tower for some rest.
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
I woke up on the couch, the others looking over me. Worried. Do they love me? Why else would they care so much? I sat up, wincing slightly at the pain I had inside.
"Can we have an explanation now?"
"I guess. Did you hear the prophecy Slade said?" I asked, they nodded and I began my tragic and sad tale. That's why I'm not a picture perfect I guess. My life story gives away all the pain I've endured. I told them it, never stopping for a second. No one interupted me, for that I was thankful. When I was done, I could feel the tears in my eyes. I refused to let them fall though.
"God I'm sorry Rae," Robin said to me. He rubbed my shoulders comfortingly. I shrugged off his hand, it didn't matter, nothing would change.
"Doesn't matter, nothing will change. Nothing could have been done. Nothing will change. Ever." I muttered. Surprisingly, Cyborg pulled me into a hug. Something I expected not to have happened in my life time...for me.
"True, but we can change your future, Sunshine." He said grinning to me. I made a faint and barely noticeable smile, but a smile none the less.
"How do you propose to do that?" I asked.
"Simple, by kicking your dad's ass all the way the a different galaxy."
"Thanks guys."
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
~The End Part 1 &2~
I betrayed them. I betrayed my friends. I knocked them out. I gave them my powers. When I was walking to where I was supposed to unleash them though, they came in and tried to stop me. I still proceeded. As soon as I finished chanting, my world went black.
I woke up to where I belonged, I'm where I deserve to be. Hell. I destroyed the world, but gave me powers to my friends so they could save themselves. Imagine my shock when Robin found my nine year old self. I had run away from him, but he still caught me. We both got out of hell only to see my father trying to destroy everyone.
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me
When we got there we ended up running around dodging Trigon's attacks. However, with every attack Trigon used against us...Robin stayed beside me. Making sure I didn't get hit. One attack, however, finally hit the Titans. I ran over to Robin first to see if was okay. He didn't wake up. Enough was enough. I felt my powers rise within me again. I glared at my 'father' and faught him. I just hope I win and live...or die with Trigon. Either way Trigon won't be alive to see another die.
Oh
Everyones got a darkside
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
~The End Part 3~
The fight was painful and it was finally done. The others would have to be healed of course, but that wouldn't take long. I was currently standing in front of the window to Titans Tower over looking the city. Robin soon came up to me.
"Hey what's wrong?" He asked.
"Everything just doesn't seem real. I have freedom from my father. I'm not his portal anymore, and I'm free to express my emotions." I answered truthfully.
"That's good though isn't it?"
"Yeah better than I could have imagined."
"Good, so are you going to tell me what else is bothering you?" He inquired.
I sighed, "I should've known I couldn't hide that from you. So why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Save me. Got to hell for me."
"Because Raven, you may not know it but you are the most helpful person I know. From the day you were born people said you were evil. But you ignored them and kept fighting. Sure, you destroyed the world, but you saved it too." He answered looking at me in the eyes...I think.
"Fair enough, so now, why don't you tell me what's wrong."
"I don't know, Rae." He said nervously.
"Please" I said giving him puppy dog like eyes.
"Fine, I l-l..." instead of saying it though he kissed me. It was sweet, gentle, and loving. As we pulled away I stared at him wide-eyed. "I love you." He said. Those three simple words brought so much warmth to my heart.
"I love you too." I said before kissing him. We stayed like that til we heard.
"About time you two got together. I thought it would take longer. Take care of her, Rob." Cyborg said smiling at us.
"Dude, you saw this coming? I never would have thought that ice queen and workoholic leader would've gotten together." Beastboy shouted.
"I did not know this either friend Beastboy." Starfire said.
"Whatever." Robin and I said together before joining them.
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
The battle for Earth and the universe was over now. Robin and I would also, hopefully, get a happily ever after. My dark side is now gone. Forever.
