Everyone was in their positions but, Damian and Raven. He had promised to pick her up but, he was late. She was waiting with her makeup on and her hair done. It has only been half an hour but, she was already freaking out. Would have left her, if he did it then he was failing the whole team not just her, maybe he went alone. Why was she so nervous? It was only a mission.
She heard the roar of an engine and flew to the exit, she was not very good at running with heels. Damian was entering the building when he saw her. Raven with a beautiful bun hold by two sticks. Her eyes had pink-eyed shadows to match her now pure white skin. Her dress was a thigh dark purple one with one long sleeve on one side and an uncovered shoulder on the other side. The gem in her forehead was cover with magic.
"How do I look?" Raven asked.
"You look fine," Damian said. At that point Raven felt like something was shattering inside her but, she did no expressed it. "I'm sorry I was late, I was looking for something"
Damian opened the box he had in his back pocket in there was a diamond neckless.
"Let's go we are late," She said as she was still mad but, she deep down like the surprise.
When they arrived Damian rushed to open Raven's door, she did not expect to be received with a shower of flashes. As they walked through the carpet and into the hall. Probably the paparazzi were talking about who this mysterious lady was. Talking about the devil...
"You look very handsome Mr. Wayne," She said in a snarky tone.
"Miss Lane, I did not spect to see you covering the gossip section. Don't you have an article to write about Superman rescuing a kitten?" Damian said.
"No, I'm covering for a friend. And who is this nice lady you have here?" Lois Lane said.
"I'm Rachel Roth, nice to meet you, Miss Lane. I hope to read a flattering article " Said Raven as she shook her hand.
"Of course, something in the lines of a mysterious lady has tamed the beast, the heir of Wayne Industries has found his beauty," Lois Lane said.
They were perplexed but before they answer anything they receive a call from Nightwing.
"Raven, Robin where are you?" Nightwing said through the intercommunicator.
"Do you excuse us a moment miss lane?" Said Damian walking away with Rachel. "We are in"
"The birds are on the nest, Support?"Nightwing said.
"We have eyes on you," Starfire said watching through a telescope.
"Gar ?" Nightwing said.
No answer.
"Maybe he turned into something small and lost the communicator," BlueBettle said.
"That's bad it means he is flying blind, let's hope for the best," Nightwing said.
"Damian I think we should act like a couple the press seems to think that and, if anyone asks later we will say we were on character," Raven said.
"I like it, it will be relaxing plus I love the idea of hiding in plain sight," Robin said.
They were chatting with people, drinking champagne, and feeding each other as Nightwing was preparing appetizers. everything was running smoothly.
"May I steal her for a minute," Said Damian interrupting Raven's conversation with a Fashion designer who was really interested in hiring a new model. "Let's dance sweetheart"
"What's the matter, Damian?" Raven said.
"Dance with me," He said.
"I don't know how ..." She said.
"Put your left hand on my shoulder and hold my right hand and move with me," Damian said as he held her waist and she grabbed his hand. He then pulled her closer and whisper "Tell me who do you see?"
"mmm Bill Gates, Elon Musk... Oh my is that Gal Gadot," Raven said.
"That's what they want you to see, focus look beyond the glam"
"There's a man with a big nose, and the bald way looks suspicious, Is that Luthor?" Raven Said.
"Oswald Covelpot aka Penguin, Victor Ssazzs Falconi's assassin and also Bandal Savage a known enemy of the JLA. Nightwing do you read me we need you at the hall" Damian said. "In half an hour the press will leave and in another half hour you'll see how the celebrities start leaving,"
Nightwing approached the couple with glasses of wine,
"Is that Penguin?" he said.
"We need you to cover Covelpot, we will follow Ssaazzs and Jaime will follow Savage we need to know what they are up to?" Damian said.
"No, focus on Palomino, we need to know why he wanted all these people in his house," Nightwing said.
Damian hated to admit it but he was right all circled around Palomino's and they need to know why. Two hours passed and the only ones left were the titans and the bad guys. Damian and Raven manage to overhear a conversation from Luthor.
"So, do you have it or not?" Luthor said.
"La Kriptonita, I have my friend but, it has its price. Your offer has to be good if you want it, If you excuse me I have a party to enjoy before we can talk business," Palomino said.
Luthor left mad and as he was leaving he saw the kid snooping around. Raven jump to Damian's lips and started kissing him passionately. Luthor looked the other way uncomfortable with the public demonstration of affection.
"Did it work ?" Raven said
"I think so, another one just in case? " Damian said
"Let's go we have a job to do," Raven said.
They intercept Palomino as he was talking to one of his henchmen.
"Mr. Palomino we heard you have a special kind of jewelry. I would like to discuss with you," Damian said.
"To my office let's talk in private," Palomino said. He by a matter of fact was intrigued by the young Wayne, his father would never treat with a drug dealer.
They entered a fancy office with a black oak desk and a living set with a three-person couch.
"Why do you want the rock, niño?" he said.
Damian started playing with Raven's necklace showing the gem to the drug dealer.
"I'm looking for something special for a ring, something no one else has or will have," Damian said and Raven was shocked by the confidence of his words.
"Don't waste my time kiddo, I'm talking about a full meteorite," Palomino said.
"I guess you'll have earrings to match darling. You are misinterpreting me Mr. Palomino a rock is only as valuable as it's rare. I don't care if we are talking about a mountain full of kryptonite I want it all," Damian said.
He laughed and said "Call me Esteban"
At that moment they were interrupted by the sound of machine guns, Raven and Damian tried to hide behind the couch since they were still undercover. Moments after a man opened the door, he had a Jackal mask. Raven remembered the man from her dreams as a full dog man with sharp teeth, but there was no doubt he was the man from her visions.
