A.E.: Last chappy…amazing isn't it? Sorry about not getting the ninth chapter up until today. I was grounded again. I got a detention… heehee and it was not my fault!!! For those of you who read my poem and left a message…THANK YOU!!!! I will be writing more of it if possible. That is I'll post it tonight if I can get my contacts out. I just got them yesterday!!! And I look sooooo different…
Raven: I'll get this over with, before she rambles to death. A.E. does not own any of the Teen Titans blah blah blah. Done.
Cyborg: Onward!
A.E.: Huh?
I finally reached the bottom of the staircase, but I didn't
want to be there just yet. I didn't want to face everyone, I didn't want to retell the story, I didn't want to remember. I didn't want to see so many people cheer, because they had been saved, but seven lives had been taken. Those seven people that had done so much for them, so much for the city. Those seven people, they were only things that went with her past life. Her life as a Titan, but now that that had died, they have also, they went with my life. All the memories gone. All the stupid fights, the disgusting food, the pushing to train harder. That was all gone. Gone. Starfire, BeastBoy, Terra, Cyborg, Aqualad, Speedy, and Robin. Gone, they were gone.
Without them I am nothing. I'm not Raven anymore, the telekinetic sorceress and the youngest Titan, is dead. I'm now Raven Roth, a normal girl, from a different planet (A/N: heehee, not very normal, l.o.l,) with normal friends and nothing more. This is who I am now.
"Raven!" Lacy and my other normal friends ran to me and hugged me tightly, as if I was a valuable person to them.
"Raven, what happened?" Bruce and the other original members of the JLA strode over.
"Everything, and so much more," I replied quietly, Bruce looked behind me.
"And the other Titans?" he asked grimly, already knowing the answer.
"Dead," I spat out, and started sobbing. The ground shaked violently, and we all knew. The explosion had destroyed the city. Not a single particle was floating or flying from my sobbing.
"It's not your fault Raven," Lexi tried to comfort me.
"Yes it is, I didn't fight hard enough, maybe if-" I blamed myself, but Jinx cut in.
"Raven, it is not your fault. Slade is manipulating, and evil. He found you weakness," Jinx told me softly.
"Robin, and my…friends," I stated in a hushed voice.
"Yes, now you need to get some rest, Lantern and I are just about to put the barrier over the city, after that I'll take you to the flat," Jinx told me."Okay," I agreed weakly. Jinx recited a charm while Lantern got ready to form a barrier. My thoughts drifted after that.
'They're gone. They're really gone. Now who do I have? All of Jump City and Gotham, but that's still not enough. Nothing is ever going to be enough. Nothing. I need to put them in the past, I need to put them in them in the back of my mind. That's what I need to do,' I thought coming back to reality as Jinx took my arm and led me to the flat. There was cheering and celebrating, and some teens were partying in the street. I couldn't believe it, we were safe, but at the same time I was dead.
When we finally reached the flat, I was suddenly ready to drop and sleep for a couple of years.
"Come on Raven, you need a lot of rest," Jinx said once again taking my arm and led me to my room, "Now get some rest, don't even think about what's happened today." Jinx told me soothingly and left closing my door softly.
I changed into a silk pajama gown and laid in my bed. Just as fast as my energy was drained it regained itself. I laid in bed, tossing trying to find a comfortable position. When I realized I couldn't fall a sleep, I got out of bed and walked to my bookcase. I ran my fingers over the spines of the books and shivered, most of the books had been purchased as gifts from the Titans and fans, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.
I looked straight at the object and realized what it was, it was the scrape-book. I carefully picked it up and sat on my bed. I ran my fingers over the front cover and opened the book to the fifth section, Robin's. I flipped through the pictures I stopped at one picture, it was movie night and Star had rented a boring documentary over something, and I feel a sleep and ended up laying draped over a sleeping Robin. I actually smiled for a moment and stopped myself, I turned the page and found a letter from Robin.
Dear Raven,
Hey… I'm really not sure what to write, but I guess I'll just go with what's in my heart. Let's see one more year and we'll have to throw you a Sweet Sixteen. That thought probably makes you sick to your stomach. I might as well stop avoiding the subject. Let's see… Raven, there's something I need to tell you. I…I think I love you. Every morning the sun doesn't start shining until I see your face. I've only seen you smile once or twice, but that is one good reason to keep on living. When you spend all that time in your room it makes me think that you don't care about us, but I'll trust you forever. I don't care that you keep secrets from me, I just care about you. Maybe after you read this we could talk. Maybe after we talk we could go out, or something Maybe we could do that if the Titans stay together. We've been having trouble about arguing while you're in your room, but I know we can pull through this, with your help that is, we always do.
With love,
Your Boy Wonder
'And you were so wrong about that, Boy Wonder,' I thought, laying on my bed, clutching the scrape-book close to my chest.
'Maybe the Titans could have stayed together if I hadbeen there. Maybe we could have talked and then gone on that
date. Maybe we could have stayed together if I had been there.
Maybe someday we can be together again someday...' were my
last thoughts before sleep took me.
'Maybe someday isn't to far away…'
