"RAVEN!! Come on! Let's go practice with your powers!" my brother yelled as he walked into my room
"How did you even get into my apartment?!" I asked angrily
"You gave me a key, like three weeks after you moved here" Barry reminded me
Oh yeah
"Come on Rave. You need to practice your powers" Barry insisted
"Fine, give me five minutes to get dressed" I said
"Deal"
------
"So, do you always test out powers here?" I joked
Barry, the gang and I were at the airfield where we first tested out my flight. Once Wells and Cisco found out that Barry and I were coming here to work with my powers, they insisted on coming with us. Caitlin said that she had to come with us, just to make sure none of us got too hurt.
"So Rave, what can you do with you magic?" Wells asked
"I have elemental and light manipulation, healing- myself as well as others. But I don't know the full extent of my powers" I said
"Interesting, how long have you had these powers?" Wells asked
"For as long as I can remember, I think I was born with these powers" I said
"Really?" Cisco asked
"Yeah, it's why I was never adopted when I was at the orphanage. I put two and two together so I ran away and... we all know how that ended" I explained
"Well let's see how your powers are against a metahuman" Barry said cockily
"Let's" I said
Barry and I fought for a while. He kept barely dodging the balls of fire and ice I threw at him. Barry made no attacks, he just kept dodging mine. I thought of my wings. They could give me the upper hand. I let my wings out and jumped into the air.
"No fair!" Barry said into his earpiece
"I need to practice using my powers while airborne" I defended as I threw some ice towards my brother
Barry wasn't fast enough and his shoulder got clipped with the ice. I flew over to my brother, to make sure he was alright.
"You okay Barry?" I asked as I landed next to my brother
"I'll be fine" Barry said
I rolled my eyes and rested my hand on his hurt shoulder. I closed my eyes and concentrated on Barry's wound healing. I opened my eyes and Barry's wound was almost perfectly healed.
"I could've done that" Barry said, referring to his super healing
I smiled at my little brother and we walked back to where the others were.
"So, who wants ice cream?" I asked as Barry and I approached everyone
"I'm in" Barry and Cisco chorused
"Caitlin? Dr Wells?" I asked
"I'm going to have to rain check" Dr Wells said
I looked over to Caitlin.
"Sure, I'll come" Caitlin said with a small smile
"Let's go then" I said beaming
-------
Barry, Cisco, Caitlin and I were sitting in a ice cream parlour, having fun. We were talking about the most random things and I was having the most fun I've had in awhile.
"Hey, we noticed something today" Cisco said as we ate our ice cream
"What?" Barry asked
"Raven, your wings looked like a dark silver. When we first saw them, they were a bright silver. Are you feeling okay?" Caitlin asked me
"Yeah, I feel fine" I answered honestly
"Promise you'll tell us if anything changes?" Barry asked
"I promise"
After a while the four of us went our separate ways and we all went home. When I got to my apartment, the door was open. I pulled the gun out from my purse. I never leave home without, or my badge and handcuffs. I went into my apartment, looking for the intruder. I didn't have to look long. Snart and Mick were sitting on my couch.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" I asked, pointing my gun at the two of them
"Little Bird, nice to see you again" Mick said, standing up from the couch.
I turned the safety off as Mick took a step closer to me.
"Would you really shoot me Little Bird?" Mick asked
"You'll get the same answer she gave me Mick" Snart said, not taking his eyes off of me
"We protected you Raven" Mick said, seeming a little hurt that I would actually shoot him
"You took turned your backs on me. Let me go to juvie. Neither of you visited me or tried to break me out. I don't care what you did for me" I said, still pointing my gun at Mick
"We were family once" Snart said
"Family doesn't abandon each other" I said angrily
"The cop is your family now?" Snart asked as he picked up the picture of Barry, Joe and Iris
"Yeah" I said
"You're not going to let us out of here without a fight, right?" Snart asked, but he already knew the answer
"You know I can't Snart" I said
Next thing I knew, Mick had knocked me out.
-----
"Rave! are you okay?" Barry asked as he and Iris got in my apartment
"Yeah, I'll be fine" I said, sitting up from my living room floor
"There's a note. What happened last night?" Iris asked as she picked up a piece of paper from my kitchen counter
"Got a lovely little visit from Snart and Mick" I said, touching the small bruise on my jaw from where Mick hit me
"Did they hurt you?" Iris asked
I raised my eyebrow at her
"You're not going to be alone today" Iris said
"I have work. I won't be alone, good chances are that I'll be with your dad most of the day" I said before walking to my room to get dressed for the day.
Today is going to be a long day.
