"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" A surprised Raven wakes up from her nap as she squints to have a better look on whoever yelled. After her vision starts to get better she finally got a good look at the blue haired girl who is holding a small cupcake.

"Ah, Powder, you didn't have to." Raven had a small smile plastered on her lips but didn't accept the cupcake, she had enough of those.

Before she left the uppercity, a small birthday party was thrown for her, sweet sixteen they say. "You go eat that for me." Continued Raven before grabbing her mask on the floor.

She was currently staying inside the basement to escape the rich people from the above, Raven has been going nonstop to the Last drop for exactly 10 months now and she made good friendship with Vander's adoptive children especially Violet.

"But me and Vi got it just for you! Claggor had to bake for this." Frowned Powder as guilt enters Raven's mind but she was already full. "If you eat that I'll be more happy, don't you want that?" Bribed Raven as Powder nods and took at bite at the small cupcake making the hybrid of a girl's heart ache.

She wonders if the 10 year old kid ever had cake for her birthday, it aches to see a kid enjoying at such a small desert.

"You like it?" Asked the birthday girl as Powder nods, a smile forming in every small bite, the little girl's smile soon died down when she noticed it was only the paper left.

"Don't worry maybe if I come back from a bounty I can sneak you a cupcake or more, anything for you." Smiled Raven as she took the wrapper from Powder's hands and threw it away at the trash just beside the sofa.

Raven looks at the wall clock and soon panicked, "Pow-pow I need to go, go tell your siblings that I have a bounty and uh... I'm needed there." She lied, she was suppose to meet Caitlyn and she was already 10 minutes late. With hurry she grabbed her metal wolf-mask and pats Powder's head before leaving the basement through the small hole on the roof which Violet said she will cover up soon.

The newly birthday girl jumps off the roof and run towards the bridge where some enforcers took notice of her.

"Shit." She cursed under her breath and took a different route, which was to cross the bridge from the above, not exactly the safest option but it's the only way that can help her cross the bridge without getting caught.

Trying to avoid all the slings that the enforcer are throwing at her, she got on top of the bridge and with little small space she ran as fast as she could trying to balance through the slim metal. Reaching the edge Raven halted stop before grabbing a smoke bomb on her cargo pants pocket.

Hesitating before throwing, she watched as the smoke bomb exploded into a thick black smoke and Raven slides down the bridge and quickly went towards the alley her stuff stays in.

Changing into her beige pants and a white shirt followed by corset that never once in her life did she liked wearing and neatly tied her hair. Spraying some perfume, she exits the small abandoned shop carefully, avoiding the enforcers running towards the commotion she started 10 minutes ago.

After a little more walking Raven rang the doorbell of the huge Kiramman's house and waited for a certain someone to come out. A maid came out of the door and opened the gate for Raven as she bowed to thank the old lady.

As she enter the house, a pissed Caitlyn was seen sitting on the comfortable sofa with Jayce.

Locking eyes with Raven, the newly come girl sent her a small smile and a nod at the male. "Be proud it's your birthday or I swear to the Lords I'll hit you." Threatened Caitlyn as Raven only snort before sitting in between the two friends.

"Wait— Why are you sweaty? And full of dirt?" Jayce asked as he points at Raven's unkept hair and sweaty face. The young girl automatically think of a lie. "Oh you know me, I had to go back and forth in the academy, birthday greets and stuff." Nervousness filled Raven's body as she avoid locking eyes with the two.

"But we were there the whole time before going here? Heimerdinger told us you left to do some business... Raven— What was that business?" It felt like Caitlyn is already connecting the dots. "Nothing suspicious I was just fixing some stuff, you know how much of a great builder I am." Raven saved herself from the situation and Caitlyn finally lets go of the subject.

An awkward silence suddenly surrounded the trio and Jayce being the oldest was the first one to clear his throat. "I'm planning on bringing Caitlyn to my apartment tomorrow, would you like to come?" Jayce looked at Raven who only nod.

"Yeah sure, I don't have any plans." Replied Raven.
