Merry christmas!

In Donna's room...
"Connor wake up it's Christmas morning!" Donna squealed with excitement. After no response she poked him hard in his side. "What?" He mumbled. "It's Christmas morning, get your ass up or I'll carry you downstairs myself."   "Five more minutes." He mumbled.  "C'mon!" Donna persisted. "Fine!"   "Hurry up, we don't want Kori finding out you spent the night in my room, she'll get the wrong idea."   "Okay, okay. Knowing her she'll probably go to Damian and Raven's room first."     "Yeah, we're lucky we haven't been caught yet." Donna agreed.  

In Kori and Dick's room...

"Morning sunshine!" Dick said, softly tapping Kori's shoulder. Kori opened her eyes slowly, suddenly sitting up in realisation. "Merry Christmas babe."  "Merry Christmas!" She replied, her face lighting up.  "I need to prepare the turkey, do you mind getting breakfast ready?" Dick asked.  "Sure thing, I can make some french toast, it's one of my specialties."   "Sounds great. Should we let everyone get up in their own time?"   "But I love waking them up and bagging on their doors!"   "Kori, they are nearly grown up."   "Alright I'll let them off this year."   Dick laughed at his girlfriends motherly Behavior towards her teammates.

In Jaime's room...
Jaime's pov:

Garfield stayed in my room last night, he drank a lot of eggnog and is a lightweight.  He held his head and sighed.  "How's your hangover?" I asked.  "It's not a hangover, I just drank some eggnog." He denied.  "Bro, your a lightweight, you got drunk after drinking just two small bottles of beer."    "That was over a year ago when I was younger! And two bottles of beer is a normal amount of intake of alcohol to get drunk."  He replied. He really doesn't like the fact he isn't good with alcohol. "Whatever you say."   "Wait is it Christmas morning?" He asked.  "Oh year I completely forgot, merry Christmas!"   "Merry Christmas bro. I'm so looking forward to Christmas dinner."    "Even though you'll have to have a veggie roast?"   "Fake Turkey is just as good as real turkey!"   "How would you know? Your a vegetarian."   "Last year Kori got my Christmas dinner mixed up with Raven's, remember?"   "Oh shit, that was rough, sorry that happened."   "It's fine. I'm going to be the first one downstairs, you coming?"

Raven's pov:

Me and Damian came back from meeting with Constantine and Zatanna again. She taught me some basic spells to use against evil spirits, in my case, Dad. As I am not very good at remembering a lot of details, Damian told me he would help me remember and practice how they went. My goal is to master the first basic spells for my next meeting with Zatanna in a couple days, but I probably won't get much practice in today as it is Christmas Day. I really hope we can keep doing these lessons in secret and not get caught, we can't afford to have any distractions, I have a feeling it won't be long before I will use this magic for real against my father. There's a lot of work to be done, but I've felt my power and it is very strong, I need to take control of it to have a fighting chance. My father does not know what I'm up to. He may be able to mess with my head but he is oblivious to me accessing my power. He doesn't even realise how much power I actually have.  I've learnt to shut him out so most of the time I can't hear him communicating with me, but I still feel him trying to fight it and sometimes I feel physical pain. We are planning to inform the Titans and the Justice League nearer the time when I have had enough lessons. After we get changed into our night wear we'll go downstairs and have a great day as if nothing happened.

Two hours later....
Kori's pov:

Me and Dick are cooking Christmas dinner, well Dick's doing most of it but there is a lot to do so I'm helping him out. Everyone opened their presents and were very happy they got what they wanted, especially Damian who got some tear gas. Donna and Jaime are setting up the table, and also arguing about where they wanted to sit. It's been four years now, and they're still arguing about where to sit.
Finally, dinners ready!   "Guys dinners ready!" I announced followed by a lot of footsteps coming to the kitchen. They looked really hungry, am I the only one who noticed how much food teenagers eat? It's like their body weight in food. I specifically remembered to put Garfield's dinner on a different plate because I really don't want to get his vegetarian roast mixed up again with the other dinners, poor boy.
"Donna, are you going to eat all of that?" Connor asked.  "Of course I am! Keep your eyes to yourself."     "You can have some of mine if you want, I can't eat all of it." Raven said.  "Don't mind if I do, thanks Rae." Connor replied with his mouth full.  "What did I say about manners?" Dick asked.  "Sorry."    "Damian, you wanna pull a cracker with me?" Garfield asked.  "Alright, but don't put your hand on the middle part."  "How did yo -"  "You think I didn't notice? I can see a cheat miles away."  Damian interrupted.  "Fine, I won't cheat, but please give me the toy inside?"   "You can have the damn toy."  it surprises me that Garfield is nearly sixteen, he acts like a nine year old. But compared to Damian, everyone seems immature, he has a conscience of a forty year old man.

After stuffing our faces with dinner and Christmas pudding and mince pies, we watched some tv while Damian and Raven went off to train in the training room. How can they even move after eating so much food? They have been training together a lot lately, it's weird because I feel like something is a bit off with them, but I can't put my finger on it. I don't want to question them because it could be nothing and even if something was going on it probably isn't my business or they would of said something. Every time I ask them about their frequent training sessions they brush it off, but I guess it's fine that they are training more than usual. I shouldn't assume they are hiding something just because I've noticed them acting a bit different, I'm just a bit worried that's all. I'll talk to Dick about it later, he may of noticed something too, Damian's his brother after all.
"Guys, you wanna try out my new Xbox?"  Connor asked.  "Sure!" Jaime replied. "Can we play call of duty?" Garfield asked. "Ok."  "Alright, I'm down. What about you Donna?"
"I'm not into violent video games, so no thanks, I'm going to read my new Twilight books. See you around."  Donna said before getting up and going to her room. Shortly after the boys got up and left too,  to play their video games, leaving me and Dick with the tv to ourselves. "Anything you want to watch?" I asked.  "I don't mind, you pick." Dick said. "There is an anime series called Haikyu which I've been wanting to watch." I suggested.  "Oh that's the volleyball one, I've been wanting to watch that too."    "You like anime?"   "I love anime."    "You are full of surprises Dick, I didn't know that about you."    "Don't tell Damian, he will never let me live that down."   "Your secret is safe with me."   I'm just pleased that I'm not the only one who loves anime, I think it's great. After the fifth episode, Dick came in with some hot chocolate and blankets.  "It's cold in here." He stated.  "I know, maybe the heating is playing up."     "I'll be your heating." He joked pulling me in for a hug. I laughed, grabbing my hot chocolate and taking a sip.

Damian's pov:

"You have to move your arm this way or the spell won't be effective." I stated.   "Oh yeah, I'll try again." Raven replied, correcting her use of arm movements and coordination. "It worked!"   Raven exclaimed.  "Well done."   "Thanks for your help Damian."   "I want to help you learn to control your power and reach your capabilities. So if observing the lessons and helping you undertake them is what I can do to help you improve then that's what I'll do."  "Your right. I haven't even reached the surface of my full potential so if I want a chance to put an end to my fathers torment then I'll have to train hard but I think I can do it."      "Raven, your far stronger than you think, I know you can get there." She has so much potential. She needs to train a lot and learn to use her magic in spells as well as control the power as a weapon itself but it's not impossible. I don't know how strong her father is but I've seen his power, he can ultimately destroy the world and that might not even be him at his strongest. I'm not sure it will even be a fair match, not even the Justice League could take him down. But I have to believe in her because she hasn't reached her full strength yet and she is our only hope to eliminate him.

Meanwhile in Tamaran...

"What did you call us for princess?"

Blackfire smiled sinisterly.  "Prepare yourselves, we are going to earth to annihilate my sister, and this time, no one can stop me..."
