Concern
Chapter 2: Concern
Raven jumped slightly when she heard the knocks again. She had forgotten all about the reason the stranger had left in the first place, distracted by her thoughts. The teenage girl, still in a sort of daze, ran to the door, opening it.
There in the doorway stood all the Titans. Short, spiky black haired Robin, looking through his black mask. Tall, skinny, red haired Starfire, hovering a few inches off the ground. Bulging blue Cyborg, his red eye and his normal eye both staring at her. And finally, short green spiky haired Beastboy, who was looking up at her with worry.
"Hey guys. What's wrong?" Raven asked, trying her best to hide the bracelet and ring the stranger had given her.
"Can we come in, Raven?" Starfire asked, her orange eyes glistening in the dim light that was flowing from Raven's room.
Raven was about to protest, but she figured she would have to let them in no matter what. 'If I don’t, they will get even more suspicious…and that’s the last thing I need right now' she thought, moving from the doorway so the 4 other Titans could enter her room.
After they entered, Raven shut the door and turned to face them. "So?" she asked, folding her arms over her chest.
"Raven…" Robin started, but was interrupted by Beastboy.
"You have been in your room for ages! The only reason you ever come out is to eat, and for missions, but now you're even missing those! What is wrong with you? What the heck did we do to you that makes you all depressed in your room!?"
Raven flinched at his yelling, looking down at the ground, feeling very guilty for how she had been acting for the last few weeks. She couldn’t tell them about the stranger, she just couldn’t. After the many attempts to tell them, she found her mouth couldn’t even talk about the stranger, not emotional, but something the stranger had done on their first encounter:
Raven had been walking around her room, pacing as she normally did after the many fights they had against Slade. Who was he? And who was the new thief he had hired?
After several moments, she heard something from deep within her dark room. Slowly walking toward her mirror, she stared into it. Her exact reflection stared back at her, but there was something strange about it. Something grabbed a hold of her waist, turning her around swiftly and bringing her body against someone's.
The stranger in front of her smirked, catching her lips in a kiss. She had been to surprised to respond, causing him to break the kiss rather quickly. The kiss had felt strange to her, since it was her first kiss. She stared up into the stranger's eyes, dark brown, such beautiful eyes…so captivating…
"I will visit you every night." The stranger said, his voice quiet, but comforting. It was a deep, rich tone, but seemed worn out, almost out of breath in a way. "But I cannot allow you to tell anyone about me until you remember." He said, holding up some sort of pendent that was hanging around his neck.
The pendent flashed for a moment, before Raven's body glowed yellow. After several minutes, the pendant stopped glowing and so did Raven. The stranger quickly stole another kiss from her, giving her time to respond, but only for a minute. He disappeared, along with his warmth…
Starfire waved a hand in front of Raven's face, causing the Azerath girl to snap out of her thoughts. "I'm sorry…I've just had a lot on my mind in the last few weeks…" she lied, coming up with the first excuse that came to mind.
Cyborg sighed, "Fine. I know there isn’t any more information we can get out of you."
Beastboy glared at him "Wait a minute! We have the right to know what is going on with her! We could help!" he yelled, his face turning a tinge of red because of his yelling and anger.
Raven looked up from the ground, glaring at him. "Look, I'm fine. I've just been thinking about…Azerath a lot lately… alright!?" she fumed, a little upset that they were so into her business. It really wasn’t their business, it was hers, and she didn’t have to tell them about the stranger.
Starfire grabbed Beastboy's wrist and dragged him out of the room. Cyborg slowly went to leave as well, followed by Robin who gave her one last sympathetic look before leaving. The door shut, the lights from the outside disappearing and leaving the teenage girl with nothing but her thoughts.
Raven sighed, walking over to her computer and moving the mouse to get out of the standby mode. Her screensaver showed up, a picture of the stranger that she had secretly took. She stared at the strangers picture, looking him up and down, searching through her mind to find the memories about him.
There was a certain part of her mind that had been blocked off for almost 3 years now, and chances are, it held the information about this stranger that she was looking for.
Raven stared at his tan body, well built. His spiky white hair, sticking out at weird angles. In the picture, he was wearing a long red cloak lined in gold, along with a dark blue, almost black kilt. Not to mention the amazing amount of jewelry the stranger wore. 'He must be very rich to have so much jewelry…' Raven thought, staring up to his face and looking at those eyes…those dark brown captivating eyes…for some reason, they always caught her attention first. Not the stranger's hair, his unusual clothes, but his eyes.
They looked so familiar…but from where? And why didn’t she remember? Had he erased her memories? If so, why? Had she done something or was there a threat toward them? There were so many questions she wanted to ask him, but she knew that he had left for the day. But maybe…he'd be back…
She stared at her dim reflection in the screen of the computer, seeing her face was one of a sad face. She missed him already… was this truly what love felt?
"Ahhhhhh!" Raven screamed, gripping her head. She had to stop, her head was pulsing in excruciating pain. "Dangit!" she yelled, furious at herself. That had been the second time that had happened. The first time her and the stranger had met, with that pendent, it must have done something to her. She couldn’t talk about him, she couldn’t even think too many questions about him without getting a pulsing headache.
"Why, stranger? Why stay so hidden? Why not show yourself to my friends? Why not let me search my mind to find my memories of you?" Raven asked to no one in particular. What was his problem? He does that and then makes it impossible for her to dwell on it.
A glint of gold glittered from the ground, catching Raven's eye. She bent down and picked it up, holding it in front of her and staring at it. The bracelet, his bracelet, with the strangers' name in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Why hieroglyphics? Why not English? Or even Azerathian, anything that she could decode.
Raven sighed, pushing the chair back and walking over to her bookcase. She scanned all the books in there, but there was nothing about Ancient Egypt.
She glared down at the ground in anger, her eyes catching hold of the book she had almost tripped over earlier. She picked it up and gasped at the title, "Egyptology". This wasn’t her book. Meaning the stranger had left it in her room before disappearing and reappearing behind her.
The Azerathian girl quickly ran over to her bed, jumping onto it and ignoring the creaks and protests her bed made. She grabbed a piece of paper from her bedside table and a pencil, copying down the hieroglyphics on the bracelet.
Raven smiled, flipping through the book, noticing several pictures of someone looking very similar to the stranger in it, but too excited to really pay attention. She found a page labeled 'Decoding Hieroglyphics' and quickly scanned over it.
About 1 hour later…
"I've got it!" Raven exclaimed, jumping off her bed and jumping up and down in joy. She had finally, after many feeble attempts, was able to decode the strangers name. She snatched up the paper and read the name, repeating it over and over again, like she would forget it. "Tozokuoh Bakura." She said at last, smiling down at the paper in her hand.
Raven placed the paper in the drawer in the bedside table, making sure to lock it. No one else could find it…no one. After placing the book safely under her bed, she bounded out of her room and into the Titans living room.
"Lets play some poker guys!" she exclaimed, smiling at them all. They all smiled and ran over to her, hugging the Azerathian girl and quickly setting up the poker game.
Only one Titan remained behind them, deep in her thoughts. Starfire silently floated over to Raven's room, opening the door and quickly looking around. Her eyes glowed a neon green, using her new found power of x-ray vision and scanning the room.
After several moments, she spotted something in the drawer. Using a small neon green blast from her hand, she was able to break the lock and open the door. She took the paper out and stared at the name written in both Egyptian hieroglyphics and English.
"Tozokuoh Bakura…" Starfire said breathlessly. "No…Raven…what are you doing?"
