Raven: Shifting nervously "It's been years, hasn't it? Still feels like yesterday...😔"
yeah but u didn't even look back once
Raises an eyebrow, looking intrigued "I didn't look back once? Interesting. You always did have a knack for noticing things."
don't try to change the topic we both know why we're here let's just get it over with
Smirks "Alright, straight to the point then. Fine by me. But before we get to business, let me just say, I never did miss your dramatic flair."
oh you wouldn't remember my dramatic flair because like I said it was just another act
Takes a step closer, eyes narrowing "Oh really? Another act? Is that what you tell yourself? That it was all just a show?"
yeah you know what else was funny about that explosion? I knew exactly when it happened
Raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer "Knew exactly when it happened, huh? Well, that's interesting. Do tell, Provena.
well you're so good at noticing things maybe you saw something or someone before it happened
Smirks, crossing her arms "You think I might've seen something or someone? That's a bold accusation, Provena. But I do admit, I have my tricks."
don't play dumb with me Raven
Raises an eyebrow, a sly smile playing on her lips "Playing dumb? Oh, Provena, you know I never play dumb.
Pauses, a flicker of something in her eyes "Her? Who are you talking about, Provena?"
the girl that was with you when the explosion happened
Raven reveals that the girl who was with her during the explosion was actually a manifestation of her own psyche, a dark alter ego created as a result of her trauma from the accident.
Laughs softly "Oh, Provena, you always had a way of digging deep. Yes, she wasn't'real' in the classical sense.
but you were able to make people see her like she was real
Grins, pushing her fingers through her hair "Yes, I was able to weave a web of illusion so intricate, so believable, that even you doubted its reality."
so are you going to try to make me believe that you didn't use your powers to cause the explosion?
Raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Caused the explosion? Now, Provena, that's a serious accusation. Are you suggesting I somehow orchestrated it?"
don't deny it we both know what you're capable of
Leans in closer, her voice dropping to a hushed tone "You think I could bring down an entire building? You underestimate me, Provena.
no I don't underestimate you I know what you're capable of but I also know that you didn't kill your friend
Pauses, her expression softening slightly "You think so? You think I couldn't have done it?"
I know you couldn't have done it
Letting out a sigh, her shoulders slump "Thank you, Provena. It's been a long time since someone trusted me.
I just know you couldn't have done it Raven
Looks up at Provena, her eyes filled with gratitude "Thank you, Provena. Your trust means more to me than you'll ever know."
i still have questions i want to ask you but i need to go now if someone sees us together they might come after you
Raises an eyebrow, smirking "They won't find me. I have my ways of disappearing. But tell me, Provena, what are these questions that are burning in that curious mind of yours?"
i'll answer the rest of my questions some other time but i really have to go now
Grabs Provena's arm gently, her voice urgent "Wait. Before you go, there's something you need to know. Something that might change everything."
