HIGH SCHOOL- DAMIRAE

Ch 11: A Sunday date?!

Raven's POV:

I finally woke up after a peaceful sleep. I surprisingly didn't have a nightmare last night. It was Sunday, so no school and no work. I lazily raised my head to look at the clock... Gosh it's 8 a.m.!  I slept too much!    Did Damian reach home safe after taunting me?  I don't even have his number. Why should I bother?       I started checking my phone..... Gosh! A text from an unknown number..... "Are you feeling better?"

I'm sure it was Damian! How in the world did he get my number?!  I replied with a "Yes, thanks" and then saved his number as "Unavoidable Brat."      I decided to meditate for some time, then go out for cycling around Gotham.   My breakfast was already on the table, with a note from Kori that read, "Have your breakfast and relax! I am going out for getting groceries and supplies. Then I'll hangout with Dick. If you need anything, please do call me immediately without hesitation!"

Seems like I got the whole day to myself. After meditating, I left for cycling. The whole Gotham has a gloomy aura, but still a lot better than Hell. The air brushed my face as I started off.  I noticed the burns on my hands almost healed. My powers are still there and works itself! But I decided not to think about it and continued.  Few people on streets, some with their children, some with their pet animals, some with their friends or lovers  having a good time.   As I continued riding with no direction fixed, I ended up in an alley with no people and tripped over some random rocks lying around.  Gosh! My knees were bleeding. It was paining too.  Damian was not wrong when he called me a careless idiot!

As there were no people anywhere near me, I decided to test my healing powers. I slowly placed my both hands on my left me and concentrated.  Oohhh! It's working!  I can use my healing powers when people aren't around!  But I decided not to heal the burns as it would be suspicious.  And I continued cycling.........

Damian's POV:

I couldn't sleep the entire night. That scene from the bloody Church played in my mind. That voice from the altar was Trigon's. And they're supposed to find a specific girl with powers to bring him to Earth?! What kind of powers does that girl have? They're gonna trace her with a minion of Trigon in a human body?!  If only I knew who was that girl. I hope whoever she is, wherever she is, she is doing her best to keep herself hidden in the best place possible!   Why on Earth is Mother involved?!

I woke up finally. I suddenly remembered about Rachel. I decided to text her. Finding someone's number is really a child's play for me. I saved it as 'Careless Kid'.   As I was on my way to the Batcave to train, I was stopped by Dick Grayson.   "Damian, we should talk."      "What is possibly so important that I have to talk to you?"        "You, Damian. You are important."       "That I know, I am."      "Not that! You always keep things to yourself. You train yourself to death but still that's not enough for you. You should not stress yourself."      "Who is stressing about what?!"

"Can you two stop shouting for fuck's sake?!" Someone appeared. It was Jason Todd! Tim Drake also came up behind him!  "Why are you all here?!" I blurted out.   "Since we all are here, let's enjoy together!" Grayson declared.     "Good idea, we can actually do that until and unless Jason and Damian start throwing fists," Tim said.    "So, movies or video games? What's for snacks? Decide fast. Later, I have a date with Kori."    Todd didn't even take a minute to think, "I'll go with video games! As for snacks.....Timmy?"      "Let's have nachos."     "I thought you would ask for a whole flask of coffee," I had to comment.     And so it started.... I had to bear it for 2 hours!!!  Jason's and Dick's continuous shouts and exclamations over a silly video game amplified my irritated mood...but in a good way,maybe?! What if we all had normal lives? I hate to admit but they are my brothers no matter what.
