Chapter 2
Answered Questions
(With the Titans)
The Titans were still in awe of Exile. Beastboy and Starfire were the first to regain their senses and started asking question after question, leaving Exile very little time to respond.
“DUDE! Is that your real hair color!” Beastboy yelled.
Exile winced at the green boy’s sudden outburst and bit out:
“Yes it is, although I don’t see why it is all that amazing to you, being as you have green skin!” Then he thought to himself, ‘He’s an idiot…but he is kind of funny, I shouldn’t tell him that though, because he’ll just come back and bug me some more.’
“Oh yeah…I forgot.” Beastboy laughed nervously, and decided that it would be best if he hid in a corner for a while.
As Beastboy cowered away, Starfire stepped up to try to get all of her questions out in one breath.
“What is your favorite food? Color? Where are you from? Will you be my friend?”
She started to gasp for air, when Exile looked at the other Titans and asked:
“Is she always like this?”
The others nodded in response.
‘Man, is this girl nuts! Although she does seem to be a decent companion, she looks out for herself and her friends. But she isn’t human; I’ll have to ask later. But for now I’ll humor her.’
“Meat and potatoes, black and silver, I don’t remember where I’m originally from, and sure I’ll be your friend, but I must ask, why? You barely even know me, and you’re trusting me as a friend.”
“Had it not been for you, Friend Exile, Friend Raven would not be with us right now.” She quickly replied, failing to contain her excitement of having a new friend.
“One more thing. Don’t call me ‘Friend Exile’, I don’t like it. Just Ex will do, since were on friendly terms.” He replied sternly, and added in a kinder voice, “Before I answer any more questions, you must give me your names, so I know who to address.”
Robin stepped up.
“I’m Robin, and to my left is Cyborg, the overactive girl in front of you is Starfire, and the green one that is hiding in the corner is Beastboy.” Robin thought for a second and added, “And Raven is the one that you saved from what seemed to be a certain death situation.”
Exile just nodded, he could sense the sadness in the room skyrocket at the memory of the event. He decided to change the topic quickly to lighten the mood somewhat. “Are there any more questions that you would like to ask me?”
Beastboy just shook his head quickly and left to return to his game. Starfire thought of a question, but quickly postponed it because this wasn’t the time or place to ask that. Cyborg thought for a second, and a question hit him, “How and why did you save Raven?”
“Wow, that question came out faster then I though it would. But to answer you simply, I cannot answer it right now, although I will explain my motives after I have spoken with Raven.” Cyborg was a little annoyed with Exile’s secrecy, but let it go because he promised to explain the situation later. He sat down next to Beastboy and grabbed a controller, and the tournament was back on.
‘This Cyborg seems to be a very strong ally, and also is more concerned about his friends lives rather then his own. An excellent trait to have, but it is also his greatest weakness as well as his very strength in battle. He also doesn’t trust and respect anyone who doesn’t deserve it, and doesn’t expect others to be different; he will be a great ally to have.’
Finally it was Robin’s turn to ask a few questions. He thought for a moment, searching for an appropriate question. Then one hit him.
“I can tell from your looks that you aren’t human, so what exactly are you, and what exactly can you do?” He asked with the sound of authority in his voice laced with a bit of curiosity.
‘Robin is the only one with no unnatural powers, but he seems to be able to hold his ground along with the others. The others have a deep respect for him, and they consider him their leader. Despite all this, he has a dark past and that is intertwined with mystery. He also can be a little obsessive, which will either bring him victory, or bring him defeat; it all depends on him when the time comes.’
Exile grinned, as he was about to reveal what he actually was to the teen in front of him, but before he could even utter a word, another voice spoke up.
“He is a demon, a dog demon if I’m not mistaken, but as to the extent of his abilities, I am unsure.”
He quickly turned his head to the origin of the voice. There stood Raven, a slight smile on her face at the teens’ reaction to her intrusion.
He smirked at the voice’s origin, and gave a quick nod to her, ‘How did I know that she would find out about my heritage first? It doesn’t seem to bother her about what I am.’
“She’s right. I am a demon, which should explain my hair, eyes, and ears.” He replied. “But as for my abilities, that will have to wait until tomorrow, because it looks like you all need some time to take it in, and rest.”
They were about to turn and leave when Beastboy’s voice stopped them. “I know this might be a little personal, but you aren’t an evil demon from Hell, bent on world destruction, are you?” His voice was had traces of fear in it, along with the hope that his statement wouldn’t be true.
Exile shook his head and stated:
“No, that is a common misconception about demons. Sure, there are bad demons that are like that, but not all of them are. Most just want to live their lives with little or no trouble, and raise a family. And I am one of the types that can co-exist with humans, so I am of no danger to you. But I have been to Hell, although my stay was very brief.”
The Titans stopped and stared at Exile, begging him to continue with their eyes.
“I suppose you want me to elaborate on that last part, don’t you?”
They nodded in unison.
“Thought so. Well, here goes nothing. A long time ago, my brother and I got into one of our arguments. For us, it was routine, but to any onlookers it was a fierce battle. But this time, he got carried away, and made a mistake, costing me my life.
“Because of my heritage, I was sent to Hell. The next thing that I knew, I was surrounded by fire, and a countless number of souls being tormented. But the only thing that had my attention was the fire. One of my abilities is that I can absorb fire into my body, and what better challenge then to absorb all of Hell’s flames?
“As I began the process though, Satan himself came at me. He ripped a portal to the living world and shoved me through, saying: ‘I will not have my fire be absorbed by the likes of you, from this day foreword, when you come into my domain, I shall send you right back, you shall live forever on Earth.’ Then he added in an even more evil voice: ‘Have fun being in exile for all eternity!’
Now you know the true reason behind my name, all other questions will have to wait until tomorrow. Get some rest, you have a long day ahead.” They nodded, and turned to walk out of the room.
As he was exiting the room, Robin glanced over his shoulder and saw Raven standing firm as the others left.
“Ex, you are welcome to stay for the night. Raven will show you to a room after you two are done sorting things out. Goodnight.” He left, leaving a confused Raven in his wake.
Raven turned to Exile, searching for an answer.
He said softly “I told them that you would have some questions for me, so they wouldn’t try to stop you when you did eventually come to me.”
She nodded, and begun to think of how to word her questions.
“First of all, I need to know why you saved me.” She stated firmly.
He thought for a moment before answering.
“I honestly don’t know why I saved you, other then the fact that my instincts were telling me that I needed you. I have yet to figure out what they meant, it could be anything from me needing your aid in breaking my curse of being in exile, or it could be…” His voice trailed off at the end, but her eyes were begging him to continue.
“What else could it be?” She asked curiously.
“Or…it could be telling me that I need you to be with me, because you are the only one that can truly understand me, and I am the only one that can help you to conquer you past.” After he finished, they both blushed a deep crimson color.
After a few moments Raven shook her head in shame.
“That can’t be true. No one would ever want to be with a worthless half demon like me…” Her words almost were too soft for even him to hear, but any other words were now being cut off by an onslaught of tears. He couldn’t help but give into his instincts, and rushed over to her side.
“How the hell could you believe that to be true, that no one would want to be with you just because you’re a half demon? You are very beautiful Raven, and don’t let the fact of your father being a worthless piece of trash get in the way of what you truly want in your life.” Before she could respond, he scooped her into his embrace, and started purring softly to calm her.
(Raven’s perspective)
‘Don’t let the fact of your father being a worthless piece of trash get in the way of what you truly want in your life.’
That sentence is playing over and over in my head. Is there any truth behind what he is saying? Am I not a worthless half demon? It can’t be, everyone I’ve ever cared for, ended up betraying me in some form or another.
But it seems so true coming out of his mouth. Maybe there is someone in this realm that truly cares about me, and maybe he is the one who is holding me in his arms. This is the first time I have ever been held like this by a man, and I feel like nothing can hurt me while I’m here with him.
I’m not going to question his reasoning for embracing me like this just yet. I want to keep feeling this feeling of safety and warmth by being in his arms, this just feels so right, I don’t want it to ever stop. My tears have long since stopped; they were replaced by the feeling of contentment. ‘Wait, what’s that rumbling I feel? It’s coming from…Ex? Is he purring?’ I giggled at the thought.
(Exile’s Perspective)
After a while of holding her in my arms, I noticed that she never once rejected my touch. She did the exact opposite; she actually leaned into my embrace. Soon I felt all of the sadness in her body slowly leave her as it was being replaced by happiness and contentment. Then she did something I didn’t expect her to ever do, she giggled. I reached my hand up to her face to turn it so I can look into her eyes.
“What’s so funny?” I asked curiously.
“You were purring” She replied with a grin on her face.
I blushed, and she laughed even harder. She buried her face into my chest in a futile attempt to hide her laughter. Once when her laughter died down, I was able to talk again.
“I think any other questions can wait until tomorrow, we should probably get to bed.” Then I felt her shake her head into my chest. “What’s wrong?”
“I have one more question I need to ask you before I show you to your room.” I nodded for her to continue. She took a deep breath and said, “What do the Kanji symbols on your chest mean?” She asked, trying to hide her immense curiosity.
I gave a quick laugh before saying,
“This one” as I pointed to the left symbol, “means loyalty, this is one trait that I wish everyone had. And this one” gesturing to the right, “means blood, and blood is the fluid of life, not to mention a variety of other things.”
(Raven’s perspective)
“Wow.” My mouth dropped open in wonder. ‘I can’t wait until tomorrow, then I get to learn more about him and his past, and maybe I’ll share my past with him.’
I finally remembered where I was and snapped back to reality.
“They have deeper meaning then I thought.”
He only nodded in response and I continued, “It is getting really late, we should go to sleep.”
He nodded once again, and added, “You need to show me where I’m sleeping tonight.”
I just smiled and said, “That’s right, follow me, the only empty room with a bed and a bathroom is right next to mine.”
As we reached my door, I thought ‘I still have yet to thank him for saving my life, hmmm…what should I do? I know! But I better do it before I lose my nerve.’
With that last thought, I turned around and quickly stood on the tips of my toes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“I just wanted to thank you for saving my life, and for showing me that there are people out there that don’t just see me for being a half demon. Your room is right over there.” I pointed to a door ten feet away, “I hope you don’t mind sleeping in the cold, the heater is broken in that room, and we haven’t fixed it yet.”
He smiled as he turned around and responded, “That’s actually no problem at all. I love sleeping in the cold.”
He gave one last smile at me before we parted ways, and slid into our own deep slumbers.
