DamiRae: Bad Omens

Since when?

"Raven I ... I really like you, I have for a long time. I don't know if we are ever going to come out of this one but, I needed to take it out of my chest" Said Damian.

There was a long felt short silence. Her naked back was pushed against his bare chest, his arms were surrounding her. She still shivered. Raven took a deep breath and said.

"Since when? Don't tell me, Oh since the first time I saw you. Because I'll know you will be lying"   

"No, But, quite close. Do you remember the first time we talk? not a simple greeting or a presentation. the first time we truly talked." Said Damian.

She did.

Damian walked through the black corridors, the smell of incense told him he was in fact on the right path. Out there in the backyard was Raven meditating in mid-air with her legs closed and a purple glow surrounded her body.

" I think, I must thank you for healing me," Said Damian.

"Uum you are welcome," Said Raven.

"I felt you watching over my life, snooping on my memories and, I didn't like it," Damian said. 

"I'm an Empath, more than watching, I felt it," She said. 

"Then you know I shouldn't be here, I don't belong here,  I'm not a normal boy I was created to be the ultimate weapon, to be the head of the league of assassins. you have no idea what is to be ..." 

"Raise by a demon" Raven Interrupt. " what do you even know about me? "

An abrupt silence.

"What was it? with the shape of a man but, he was not one. with red skin and eyes of fire" Damian Said.

"It was only a nightmare," She said.

"No, I could almost feel it. it was real".

She stopped levitating and her expression of little annoyance was turned into a full frown.

"Who are you to judge me? Just stay away from me son of the demon" Said Raven as she left through a portal. 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"it was a rough start," Raven said.

"Yes, but I knew you could understand me all I have gone through, with my father, my heritage, my destiny," Said Damian.

"You are not destined to be a demon neither am I," said Raven

"So what do you say? what is your answer?" Said Damian. He was trying to hide it, his usual Pokerface won't do it this, his palms were sweaty and his heart always cold was running at a hundred miles per hour. 

"I already knew," said Raven.

"You knew?" he said.

"Yes, Do you remember why I decided to stay with the titans?" Raven said "You fought against Ras the only family you knew, the person you love and lost, more in the world to defend me. I knew it was not only the mission when you told me that I belong with the titans, that I belong. You always treat me differently you pretend I'm nothing more than a colleague but, you are not very good at pretending. When Deathstroke send me a message pretending it was you I knew something was off, maybe everyone else thought it was just your usual self but, you were never that cold with me"

She turned around and look him straight on his face, his green eyes were open like plates and she could feel that his heart was still racing in his chest.
