Angel of DarknessRobinxRaven

Chapter One

            Nothing but darkness surrounded me but the dark and lonesome darkness that I had grown up with that darkness had long left me the day I defeated my father. This darkness that surrounded me now was warm and welcoming it was my darkness my own haven away from the world. I was in deep meditation not to control my powers like before I no longer needed to keep my emotions in check. Since the demon king's downfall I was set free of my chains I was free as the ravens that filled the blue sky. Mediation was my escape a method to help clear my head and figure things out as well as to help my stressed body and mind.

Through the vast darkness that surrounded me a soft male voice reached my ears." Raven, may I come in?"

Without opening my eyes I knew who the voice belonged to, Spiderman better known as the nosey photographer for the Daily Bugle Peter Parker, not moving from my butterfly mediation position in mid air I replied. "Why ask if you are already in my room?"

I could sense the shock coming off of him. So you thought just because I can't see you this very second I wouldn't figure out you were already in my room. A faint smile tugged at my lips at the thought. The young superhero fidgeted for a moment before finding his voice once more. "Sorry it's just you haven't replied to Star's letters or calls and she's gotten all worked up about it. Can you just call her back she's your friend and she really wishes for you to be at her side tomorrow."

My mind wondered to all those letters and voicemails left on my phone from the Tamarian Princess. We were friends yes but I still didn't think it was right for me to attend such an important day. Not because I didn't care for her, no that was not the reason for my hesitation and avoidance of her letters and calls the real reason behind my sudden disappearance into the dark depths was because of my last conversation with Kory. I had hurt her and have yet to apologize even though she seems to have already forgotten my words.

Setting a tray of fruits and snacks on the table I sat down across from my old teammate. We'd just recently gotten in touch again after I finally settle down in the city my mother had first called home, Gotham City. I thought it would be a fresh start instead of returning to Jump City. I found a nice cozy home in the suburbs away from the loud city life. Popping a grape into my mouth I stared at the fiery red head. "How have you been Kory?"

Like always she instantly light up with a smile that could be seen from the sky excitement mixed with childlike awe coated every last word. "Oh my dear friend Raven you won't believe the wonderful things that have come across me. Since your departure from the team I have learned what sorrow and misery mean but I've also learned the true meaning of love. Robin has taught me much about the love."

My heart ached at the mention of Robin and love in one sentence but I didn't allow myself to show it instead I forced myself to smile. "So Robin finally made his move and asked you to be his girlfriend?" It came out like a question than a statement.

"Yes and no." The young hero replied back. "At first yes he asked to take me out a few times but there was no spark not the spark that we both sought out. Then one day Flash stopped by and told us he ran into you. When Robin heard your name his entire soul lifted never had he been so happy with me."

Her words couldn't be true even if they were I could never accept them. "Kory enough, do not continue any further."

Her green eyes filled with confusion at my words. "But Raven you must go to him fix the broken between the two." The alien princess stared right into my violet eyes with those bright green orbs of hers. We were supposed to be here talking about her new love with a certain New York hero yet here we were talking about another hero one I wished to forget. One who haunted my dreams every night that I didn't need to discuss him any further with anyone even my old teammate, his true love.
