Desire

Chapter 15

Damian

She came into view from the bathroom, she stopped in the doorway wrapped in the white towel. I couldn't help but look at the exposed skin of her body, her legs looked completely different without the tights on. I starred until I saw her face turning red then I looked away. Why was I starring I've seen her legs before, like whenever we trained she would sometimes where shorts.

I stand up from the bed so that I could leave and get my thoughts under control. "There's one of my hoodies and a pair of joggers. I'm sorry I don't have much for you, I wasn't exactly planning on your visit."

"It's okay." She says walking to the bed.

"I'll step out for you." I tell her walking into the sitting area. I sat looking around waiting, on the little table I had some food and tea made for her since she's probably hungry and hasn't had her tea yet.

She appears from the bedroom doorway and I stand up immediately. I receive a confused look from her as she walks over to me. We both take a place on the uncomfortable couch that's there. Before I've even gotten the chance to tell her about the food and tea she places her head on my shoulder. I look down at her, the bruise on her face was still there. I was angered that she looked that way, but no matter she was still beautiful to me. I missed her and those amethyst eyes of hers.

After a while I take notice that's she's fallen asleep, I'm not mad either she needs to sleep so that her powers will restore and she will heal. I stood up from the couch and looked down at her, I leaned over to pick her up and I heard her hum in her sleep. I carry to my bed placing her on the side she loves the most. I pull the blanket over her body, kiss her forehead and leave the room.

I headed down the halls to find Lady Shiva.

"Master Damian, how is she?" Lady Shiva wasn't a heartless assassin like everyone else she cared especially knowing that I care for Raven more than anything.

"She's finally resting." She responded with a slight smile and nod of her head. "Let's reschedule that meeting." I tell her.

"On it already." She replied.

Since Lady Shiva was already on getting the meeting reschedule I went back to Raven. When I walk in the bedroom she isn't bed like how I left her. I search for her just to find her outside on the balcony meditating, I didn't say anything so that she was in silence, but she spoke up.

"I couldn't sleep, I had another dream about your mother." She lowered to the ground as she stopped meditating then stood up turning around to face me.

"Have you been having dreams since I've been gone?" I asked her.

"No, oddly enough. I really only have flashes of dreams most of them you're in." She clasped her hands together in front of her stomach.

"Did she say anything this time?" She shook her head no. When she shook I had finally noticed her hair had dried with very little curl, almost wave like and her hair was a little longer than when I last seen her. She looks back up at me and I can see the bruise on her cheek has started to disappear some. At least the sleep she got helped her bruises.

"No, she was just there silent." She said. "Damian I have to go back soon for the others."

"What even happened?" I asked her because I was curious as to who gave her those bruises.

"There's this person from the future who has been coming into the past to kill metahumans. He's too strong for just the team especially with the gadgets he uses since they're from the future." She's worried. "His name is Harvest."

"That's the only information you have on him?" I ask her. She steps forward closer to me.

"I don't know what we're going to do." She had fear in her eyes. She moved forward coming into my embrace.

I had to help the Titans in some way. I know I have to be here, but I can't lose the only real family and friends I've ever had. I especially don't want to see her gone.
