Fan Fiction ❯ A Raven's Feelings ❯ The Boy From Heliopolos ( Chapter 2 )

Ch. 2: The Boy from Heliopolis
It was gloomy the next day… as fast as it was sunny. Skai rested peacefully, alive thankfully. The titans took turns checking up on him to see if he would come to, soon. They just couldn’t believe he had survived such pain, but he didn’t seem he was from this planet. It must be some planet that of course, different in many ways and probably in some, similar.
The titans just went about their business, Beastboy and Cyborg were playing video games but only to be found quiet so they wouldn’t disturb the sleeping stranger and were actually cooperating with each other. Starfire had dragged Robin to the mall, possibly to shop for some clothes. Raven, the silent one of the whole group was reading a book whilst the boys play their little racing game.
Raven looked up from her book to check the time. It was 1:00 p.m. She closed her book as it was her turn to check up on the slumbering boy. She made her way to the medical room without disturbing Beastboy and Cyborg. She entered the room to find Skai on his bed sleeping.
He looked like he was in a deep sleep, which relaxed her because she didn’t want to be the first one to talk to him; she isn’t a socialist after all especially with a person she barely knew. She put her hand on his forehead to see if he developed any fever. He felt fine. Raven turned to the door about leave until a voice caught her attention “Where are you going?” She turned around and to her surprise; Skai was awake, sitting down.
“Please stay… I want… to know where I am…” he said softly. Unable to speak, the goth girl nodded and pulled a chair near his bed; he was harmless because of his current state. Up close, the shadows of his black hair with those silver streaks were hiding his eyes as though trying to hide the loneliness that showed in them.
“You’re in the Titans Tower, in Jump City.”
“….My name is Skai Hitari of Heliopolis. What is your name, miss?”
“My name is Raven.”
“That’s a beautiful name. So… intriguing…”
Raven blushed. It was very rare for someone to compliment her at all, about anything. She kept a straight face and started to interrogate him.
“Um… so where is this Heliopolis?”
“In a near by galaxy.”
