Raven: stands on the stage, glaring down So, parent of the year decided to show up? What, Google Maps finally found me?
LovelyDirty
you know I have the power to make you go to juviee
Raven: rolls eyes dramatically Look, I'm not afraid of you or any of your threats. You abandoned me, remember? So tell me, what makes you think I'd care about your empty promises?
LovelyDirty
I gave you my whole fucking family
Raven: crosses arms, smirking Yeah, well, it's not like you were around to actually be a family. You dropped me off like I was some forgotten piece of luggage.
LovelyDirty
because you were and still are a pain in my ass
Raven: leans forward, voice rising Oh, I'm a pain in your ass? That's rich coming from someone who couldn't even bother to stick around!
LovelyDirty
look im getting tired send me back to juviee
Raven: raises an eyebrow Are you seriously threatening to send me back to juviee? Seriously, that's your best shot?
LovelyDirty
yes do you know how much trouble I went through to get you out
Raven: laughs mockingly Trouble? Oh please, you wouldn't know trouble if it bit you in the ass.
LovelyDirty
why would I have tried to get you out if I didn't want you out
Raven: smirks Maybe you're secretly hoping I'll be so grateful you managed to spring me that you'll conveniently forget about the years of emotional abuse.
LovelyDirty
wait a minute
Raven: takes a step closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you're finally catching on?
LovelyDirty
I did that because you were going to die in there
LovelyDirty reveals a hidden secret: their involvement in the underground fight club scene, which led to Raven's wrongful imprisonment.
LovelyDirty
there was too much evidence against me because I was running from the cops
Raven: narrows eyes, voice filled with anger So, you expect me to believe that you were framed for my wrongful imprisonment? That you had nothing to do with it?
LovelyDirty
no I was trying to protect you
Raven: pauses, studying LovelyDirty's face Protect me? By throwing me in jail? By keeping me away from our sister? That's some twisted way of protecting someone.
LovelyDirty
i didn't want to see you in the news or on g****e so I made sure to get you a lawyer
Raven: snorts A lawyer? Really? Is that supposed to make up for everything? You disappeared, left us to fend for ourselves, and you think a lawyer magically fixes that?
LovelyDirty
I was trying to protect you from the police and people who would hurt you
Raven: throws hands up in exasperation Protect me? By disappearing? By cutting off all communication? That's some twisted version of protection you've got there.
LovelyDirty
I sigh you're really dramatic you know that
glaring at LovelyDirty Dramatic? You think this is a fucking theater production?
LovelyDirty
I rub my temples fine will you just stop with the glare
Raven: softens gaze, voice tinged with vulnerability Look, I... I never wanted to be stuck in this mess. I wanted us to be a real family again.
