Short Introductory Chapter, Don't worry the next one will be a hell of a lot longer.
The music was jumping wildly mixing with the sweat and excitement of the crowd, enjoying the rhythms control over their bodies. The Titans were celebrating their 5 year anniversary after Jump City's crime rate fell below 35% and of course after Slade, their nemesis, was defeated. They were letting themselves go with drink and music enjoying the fact that they had all the time in the world to celebrate since only low level crimes were left now. Starfire in particular was enjoying her Mai Tai and going on her 8th, while Robin was sticking to his Gin & Tonic. Robin had recently proposed and of course they were now openly showing each other affection, not so much an odd site for Starfire, but Robin, that's a whole other matter. Likewise Beast Boy and Terra had gotten together due to the return of her memories and of course her help in the eventual destruction of Slade. They were quite happy actually, their personalities messed wonderfully, and they were now sharing a full apartment complex within the tower in preparation for BB's inevitable proposal. They could be found at one of the far corners of the club, BB's head in Terra's lap as Terra's favorite animal, the Sea Otter. Cyborg, who had taken to drinking Crack Daniel's, as he called it, was now busily dating Jynx. She had come over after Brother Blood was defeated out of love for the Half Man wonder, having developed quite the addiction at the Hive Academy while he was known as Stone. Jynx having proved herself trust worthy was made a member of the Titans and has become highly valued, and her peppy attitude and energetic moves on the dance floor quickly took Cyborg's heart.......also her insane addiction to "NON" Tofu burgers but more or less the whole package.
However, for as much as the other Titan's enjoyed their happiness a Dark Girl in a corner, covered by a cloak, found no such love in her life. Not that she didn't have the love of her teammates, any of them would gladly sacrifice themselves for the other but it wasn't the same as the unconditional love one would have for their "mate".
As a member of the Titan's she was obliged to come with them to this festival of hormones, however, Raven truly was not enjoying herself. She wasn't one for anything that brought down the slightest bit of her control over her emotions, alcohol not withstanding since only one kind actually affected her and that was truly hard to come by. However, this didn't stop her from enjoying the sensation of "buzzing" through a nice Grey Goose martini, well multiples but still, it just took the edge off. So while the others danced their inhibitions away or drowned themselves in drink, she drank, never loosing her control over herself due to her mental training and her heritage, being the King of all evil's daughter had its perks after all.
She found herself daydreaming of day's past. Thinking on the times she had helped defeat Slade. Before Terra came back when BB had an obvious thing for her, and for that matter Cyborg without Jynx same conclusion. Mind you she wasn't angry at the girls, she had a friendly rivalry, but was still very much friends with them, but she couldn't help feel the slightest ping of jealousy. But they were all happy, and very happy at that. She was looking forward to Robin and Starfire's wedding, being the Maid of Honor and all made it all the more exciting not to mention she liked her dress a hell of a lot more then she was ready to admit, even with Starfire's obsession with pink and frilliness.
Raven was still alone, of course, she didn't exactly enjoy company. However, it wasn't because she was anti social but because if she didn't know the person she couldn't anticipate what they would say and there by set her emotions, and while her friends were those of destiny's sort, average people were not, so not dating was sort of a fore gone conclusion. Sometimes though, she wished she could just remove these damn powers, and the emotions that controlled them. It just made her so frustrated some times that she had to be on guard at all times, making sure she didn’t' go into a rage. Needless to say, rage was not joy or happiness, and not even Raven knew what would happen if she were to slip into to a state of actual joy or dare she think it "love". The results could be dramatically different that what she may think, but she couldn't know for certain until it happened and as far as she was concerned, it wouldn't.
Raven shook away the thoughts that had clouded her head; she couldn't believe that she had let her day dreaming get so far. She knew that with her friends recent luck with relationships she was feeling left out but slipping into to sulking day dreams about love for the 8th time today was a bit much...and at a club no less. A club where everyone was obviously trying to avoid her.
“Guess I can't really blame them, I probably do look like a major buzz kill at the moment." thought Raven out loud not noticing the gentlemen that had come up and sat down beside her.
"Now I wouldn't quite say that." said the dark stranger, locks blocking all but the tiniest glimpse of his emerald green eyes.
“GAH!!!” Squawked Raven thourghly jumping out of her skin in a ghostly apparition " you scared the living shit out of me damit."
" Sorry bout that..." said the stranger chuckling and smiling warmly at her.” Didn't mean to scare you, guess you were deeper in thought then...well I thought."
"What a warm laugh...And that smile...Gah I could melt right now...SHIT!! STOP IT RAVEN STOP IT NOW!!!" *Slap* *Slap* Raven toughly smacked herself trying to bring herself back from the dream she had slipped into.
The stranger, who now had a puzzled look on his face, asked " Ummm.......Don't suppose you'd mind telling me why you just slapped your self would you." adding an affectionate undertone.
"Tell me your name and you'll get your answer." snapped Raven, who had responded a little bit harder then she had meant too.
"Name's Gavin, pleasure to make your acquaintance Raven" said Gavin slightly chuckling" Sorry, the cloak and the Titan Comm. are a dead give away to who you are."
“What the hell is up with this guy? Why is he so friendly? AND WHY THE HELL AM I STARING AT HIS MOUTH." thought Raven questions running through her head at a mile a minute. *SLAP SLAP SLAP*
“You did it again." stated Gavin calmly giving her another bright smile “So would you do me the honor of explaining the whole slapping thing to me."
“Wow, what a great smile." thought Raven in awe almost not catching the slight warmth on her cheeks. “SHIT, why am I blushing, why am I embarrassed, that's it this guy has to GO RIGHT NOW!!"
“None of your business, Gavin" Sneered Raven trying her best to hide the on set of emotions coursing through her
“Hey now, I held up my par of the bargain, you owe Me." replied Gavin a comical smile going across the gorgeous face that was his.
“Get Lost" replied Raven struggling to keep herself from screaming at her inability to make the move she desperately wanted to move.
*sigh* Was that sadness or pity in his exhalation, wondered Raven briefly.
"Alright, well I'll let you bee then, but just in case you change you mind, here's my card." Gavin told her handing her a small piece of reflective plastic that said only the following.
GAVIN MCBAIN CEO & OWNER
TERRAN HEAVY INDUSTRIES
Jump City - Main Office 5-10
Gotham - Secondary Office
“Yeah, Whatever" Raven said staring at the card, as the only man to talk to her the entire night was walking away at her behest.
“Damit Raven, you liked him, really, why did you push him away, he even knew it, and probably liked you too." Raven thought clutching the card until it was scrunched into a ball. Before she could truly draw herself into a true state of depression however a new visitor appeared, this time into the form of a waitress.
“Miss, I have a bottle for you, from the gentleman who just left." the waitress said
The waitress then put down a tall bottle of Mead or Honey Wine, something that Raven had thought could not be found in Jump City. The drink, after all, was very popular within Raven's Bloodline, being the only drink that could actually get them drunk.
“This is one of our most expensive bottles. We only get one of theses every two years." stated the waitress “I must say that man has good taste. How did you ever snag such a man girl, let me in on your secret?"
Raven ignored the waitress, who was soon called away; instead she looked at the pure golden drink in front of her.
“How could he have known, there is no way, not even the Titans know?" she thought
Amazed by Gavin's gesture she sat up from her slouched, pouting position and looked around the club. Only to find something that shocked her more then anything in quite a while. Gavin was surrounded by women, literally, and it looked like he wasn't too comfortable in the situation.
“Poor man" thought Raven” I must admit he's too handsome for his own good."
Raven frowned slightly at her own thoughts, realizing she gave up what could have been a good thing. With this knew recollection she moved to drown her despair in her family's treat, the bottle of honey wine. Half noticing that Gavin had gotten away from the crowd of girls and moved towards the door leading out into the now cold climate.
