Raven keeps to herself and she doesn't really care about this news.
Smoothte
she walks past you bored
Raven finds it difficult to be around other people most of the time due to her depression but, lately, she’s been trying to be more social because she wants to make some friends since she always feels lonely and she wants to make Beast Boy happy so, she smiles at everyone
Smoothte
she continues walking bored not interested
Raven looks at Starfire’s excitement and happiness and she looks back down at the floor As much as she wants to join in on the excitement, she just can’t and so she stays silent.
Smoothte
A new member we will discuss that later beast boy could barely contain his excitement. At this point Robin might as well have been talking to a wall regarding Raven. And before long she walked off to do her thing
She is standing by the window looking outside I'm actually quiet and reserved and I don't know how to deal with my emotions that's why I seem mean sometimes but deep down I just wish that people could understand me but sometimes I feel like I am more evil than good because of my dad but I try my hardest to use my powers for good but it is difficult sometimes
Smoothte
smooth te runs into her reading a bookwhat yah reading?
Raven looks up from her book, giving a slight smile and handing him the book. "Ah, just some old dark magic spell book that I found interesting." she continues reading her book and then looks back at him "Are you here to talk to me?"
Smoothte
No sorry I was just wondering what that was.
"Oh. It's just a dark magic spell book. It contains a lot of interesting spells that can be useful in certain situations." Raven continues reading her book. "Are you interested in dark magic?"
Smoothte
What even is in here tho
Raven thinks for a moment and then raises an eyebrow. "Well, there are a few different things in here. Some of the spells are for offense, while others are for defense. There are also some spells that can help you manipulate people's minds or give you extra strength." Raven looks down at her book, flipping through the pages. "It all depends on what you're looking for."
Smoothte
Like mind control?? That sounds like something th agoat would use
“Yeah, there are definitely some mind control spells in here. Although, I would advise against using them unless absolutely necessary. They can have some very negative consequences if not used properly.” Raven pauses for a moment before looking back up at him. “But yes, Goat could definitely use these spells.”
Smoothte
How does that work though? You’re a titan you shouldn’t be using magic on other titans
"Well, it's true that we Titans should try to get along without using magic on each other. But sometimes, it can be necessary to defend yourself or protect your friends. If someone is threatening to hurt us, then I won't hesitate to use whatever means necessary to protect them." Raven takes a moment to think before continuing. "If it were possible, I would never want to hurt anyone. But the truth is, sometimes we have no choice. We must do what we can to keep ourselves and those we love safe. Is that wrong?"
Smoothte
Of course it’s not wrong. I was actually thibk of u did mind control on somebody before. Who was it?
"Hm, that's a bit embarrassing. It was actually Blackfire. She had become possessed by a demon and was threatening to kill us all, so I had to do something." Raven blushes slightly. "I feel terrible for what I did, and I would never do it again unless there was absolutely no other choice. But at the time, I didn't know what else to do."
Smoothte
True but if the justice league thinks your ready for the team they’re gonna call you soon enough to help fight crime
Raven thinks for a moment before responding. "I understand that, but I still need time to prepare myself. It's not something that I can rush. If the Justice League wants me to join them, then I will eventually accept their offer. But right now, I still have a lot to learn and master." Raven takes a deep breath and continues reading her book.
Smoothte
Well smooth te needs to head out but call me if you need anything Raven even tell beast boy to reach out if he needs something
"Thank you Smoothte. I appreciate your concern and if I or Beast Boy ever need anything, we'll be sure to call you." Raven smiles softly and nods before returning her attention to her book.
Smoothte
*A few hours later raven is sitting alone on the balcony thinking about life and how its been treating her until she hears
Raven looks over at the door and sees Smoothte entering the room. She quickly looks away, hoping Smoothte hasn't noticed her sitting here. But it's too late. Smoothte walks over to her and sits beside her on the balcony. "Mind if I join you?"
Smoothte
Mind if I join you?*
"Sure, go ahead. What's on your mind?" Raven says with a hint of sarcasm but doesn't say anything further. She crosses her arms and stares at the ground.
Smoothte
Sometimes it helps to get some fresh air and step away from all the problems for a minute
Raven glances up at Smoothte and nods slightly. "That's fair. It's nice to take a step back and breathe for a minute. Sometimes life can be overwhelming." she says quietly while still staring at the ground
Smoothte
Indeed it can. But listen I’m aware you had a rough day today especially after meeting with Batman but remember you’re strong enough to get through this. You’ve gotten through worse than this we’ve all have
Raven looks up and smiles slightly. "Thanks Smoothte. It's nice to hear someone say that. Life hasn't been easy for me lately, but I'm trying to stay strong for myself and for the Titans. You guys mean a lot to me." she says quietly while still keeping her arms crossed
Smoothte
Want to come hang with the rest of the team at my place?
"Sure. Why not?" Raven stands up and stretches her arms. "I can use a little break from everything. Let's go."
Smoothte
Ok let me get my bike before you fall asleep on me here*
Raven glances over at Smoothte and chuckles softly. "No promises." She says jokingly while following him out of the building. "I'm not exactly known for being punctual."
Smoothte
I can drive you on my bike if you’d like
Raven thinks for a moment and then smiles softly. "That sounds fun. I've never ridden on a motorcycle before. Sure, why not? Let's do it."
Smoothte
Jump in the side car hop up front and hold on tight I’m gonna fly home real quick
Raven hops into the sidecar and buckles herself in before putting on her helmet. "Alright, let's go." She says calmly and confidently.
Smoothte
sips
Raven settles into the sidecar and holds onto Smoothte tightly as they drive off. She watches as the city moves by quickly beneath them and she feels the wind rushing through her hair. She closes her eyes and smiles, enjoying the thrill of the ride.
Smoothte
Your first time on a motorcycle huh?
"Yep. This is my first time." Raven replies as she grips onto Smoothte tightly. She is obviously a little nervous but she seems to be handling it well so far.
Smoothte
Do you trust me?
"Of course I trust you. Why wouldn't I?" Raven says as she relaxes and leans back slightly. She seems to have completely lost her fear and is now enjoying the ride, smiling from ear to ear. "You're a trustworthy person."
Smoothte
Trust me this is gonna be fun just lay back and watch the city go bythere are lights ahead Hold on he’s gonna fly
Raven nods and leans back in the sidecar, relaxing and watching the city go by through the lights ahead. As they start to take off, she feels a rush of adrenaline and her heart starts beating faster. She closes her eyes and smiles, holding onto Smoothte tightly as they soar through the sky.
Smoothte
soon enough they reach his house where Cyborg and starfire are hanging out hey guys check who decided to finally show up! Here let me help you out of the sidecar
Raven looks at Cyborg and Starfire and nods her head in greeting before speaking to Smoothte. "Thanks for the ride Smoothte. That was really fun. I never got to do something like that before." She smiles softly before climbing out of the sidecar and removing her helmet.
