Raven: Hey…
Naruto: Yo!
Raven: So, remember you said we could see each other again in a couple of days?
Naruto: Yeah, what's up?
Raven: Well, do you want to meet up later?
Naruto: Um, sure, that's sounds great, where?
Raven: Same diner, same time.
Naruto: Sure thing, I'll be there at eight o'clock.
Raven: Alright…
Date Night: Take two.
Raven was walking up the stairs to the diner, she wasn't furious anymore about this, in fact quite intrigued by the boy she met a couple of days ago, Though the date had been ended rather quickly due to their professions.
The blonde was already sitting in the diner, and smiling as she came to the door. He got up, opened the door for her, and smiled. "See, already starting off better eh?"
"Better." She agreed as she walked over to the table they had tried to have date at last night.
There, she was felt her cheeks become warm, because he already had her herbal tea ready. The two took their seat, and the blonde snapped his fingers. "I hope you don't mind the bandages on my face, it's funny what a being with no logical way of living can do to a half demon eh?"
"Tell me about it, we got Slade for that one." Raven pointed out as she crossed her arms.
"Oh, Slade Wilson, oh, he's one bad mamajama." Naruto joked as he took a seat across from her. "Took on the League of Shadows by himself, pretty much bats when it comes to preparations, and has a sweet claymore." Naruto commented as he rubbed his chin.
"Sounds like you have a crush on him…" Raven rolled her eyes, but watched as the blonde smiled.
"So…can't blame a guy for liking one's style choice. Though his fault is that he keeps picking on you guys, I'd like a round or two with him." Naruto said as he put both hands behind his head.
"Sounds like you like to fight." Raven stoically said as she sipped her tea. "I prefer peace."
"Well, yeah don't get me wrong I love fighting, but I believe in friendly competitions more or less. It's just, you know…" Naruto sighed. "I made it awkward, didn't I?"
"No, if you're talking about nature, then I understand completely. Sometimes I just blast stuff in the training room to take the edge off." Raven replied as took another sip of her tea. "Strange…"
"Hmm?" Naruto hummed.
"This tea tastes a little different than yesterday, tastes a little bit more…sweet." Raven commented as she took another drink.
"Oh, that's because I made it." Naruto told her as he a shy smile on his face. "Ayame and I go way back. I lived in Jump City until I was nine. That's when I began to master my warp ability, soon I could go anywhere with it, even the moon." Naruto said as talked about his warp ability.
"You've been to the moon?" Raven asked as she had to hear this story.
"Yeah, but briefly. I forgot that the little facing the sun is hot…way hot." Naruto said as he looked at Raven's eyes, but broke contact immediately.
"So, how old are you?" Raven inquired.
"Seventeen in October, you?" Naruto returned the question.
"Sixteen." Raven answered as she took another sip of tea.
"Cool…um, you hungry?" Naruto nervously questioned as he looked around.
"I could grab a bite yes." Naruto got up from the table, and walked over to the counter before jumping over it.
"isn't Ayame here today?" Raven questioned out of curiosity.
"What 'ya kidding me, this place is closed on Sunday." Naruto chuckled. "I just so happen to have a spare set of keys."
"So, she does know about us having a repeat of her date, here right?" Naruto nodded as he blushed slightly.
"Oh of course, just if I don't use too much and clean up." Naruto answered as he turned the stove on.
"Interesting family." Raven said as she took another sip of her tea.
"Did your friends drag you back here?" Naruto questioned as he looked in the cupboards.
"Actually…I wanted to see you again." Raven replied with a heavy blush, but watched as Naruto almost dropped the pots and pans he had gotten out.
"Oh, um, really?" Naruto nervously inquired as he set up the kitchen.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Raven asked. "Did I say something the last time?"
"Oh, you, n-no-no-no. I'm just, well, want to truth?" Naruto nervously spoke as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Okay, shoot." Raven answered.
"This is actually, my very first date, well take two anyway." Naruto explained as he got out a couple of steaks. "Usually right about now I'd get a call from Bats or Flash."
"Well…if it's any consolation to you, this is actually a great date so far." Naruto smiled at Raven's compliment, and almost giggled himself.
"Well if you don't bring your A-game, then you can't be successful. Supes taught me that, along with Bats. So, how do you like your steak?" Naruto questioned as he began to flip them over in the pan.
"Rare." Raven answered.
"Oh, me too!" Naruto told her. "I got some mash potatoes, and rice on too, sound good?"
"Sounds lovely." Raven smiled as she took another sip of tea, only discovering it was empty.
Naruto noticed this, and smiled. "Hey want to see another good power of mine?"
"If it involves tea, I'm all down for it." Raven answered.
The blonde pointed at the pitcher on the counter where the herbal tea was, and lifted the tea out of it. The girl watched, her mouth hanging slightly open as he topped her glass. The blonde sighed as he relaxed, and smelled the air, and smiled as he flopped the steaks down onto plates.
He grabbed liberal portions of mash potatoes, and rice. The blonde walked over to her, and held the plates up as he bent down and served her plate first.
"Dinner is'a served." Naruto mocked a French accent as he took his seat in front of Raven.
The two began to dig in, Raven eyes widened at the taste of the steak, and looked at him. "This is good."
"Thanks, it's an old Ichiraku family recipe, along with our noodles." Naruto pointed out as he took a bite of his steak.
The two smiled at each other, before Naruto finally took a drink of his tea and sighed. "You know what's interesting, this is actually going perfec-wait…you hear the buzzing noise?"
Raven groaned. "Yes…"
"Crap." Naruto stammered as he got up, and went over to the stove and turned it off.
He reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone, it was Barry. "Go for Fox."
"Hey man I hate to interrupt you, but yeah, um apparently, the joker is robbing a bank, he's carrying kryptonite, and well…" Naruto rolled his eyes as he listened to Barry. "He also has back up…"
"Fine, fine I'll be there in a few minutes. Need to clean up my sisters' kitchen." Naruto said as he clicked his phone, before taking a deep breath, and nearly crushing the device in his hand. "Going so well…"
"Yeah, I'll be right there." Raven got off her phone too, before looking at her barely eaten meal. She smiled slightly, before looking at Naruto.
"Beast Boy got his leg broken, and well they need me to heal him. Sounds like you got a more serious matter on your hands." Raven spoke as she got up.
"Yeah, Joker is back in the game it seems. Unfortunately, I guess this where our date ends." Naruto smiled and started to wash dishes.
"Well, you can see me again if you like. I love the steak by the way, you can really cook." Raven complimented as she watched stop his cleaning.
She noticed he had a warm smile on his face, before looking at her as flames danced around his body and revealed his true form. The blonde turned to her, before handing her a to go box. "I would love to see you again."
"Yes, but next time we'll do a date in the day time…away from diners and the likes." Raven explained as she bumped Naruto out of the way, which made him look at her strangely. "I'll get your dishes, but you owe a great date next time around."
"Sure, that's a promise." Naruto smiled as they both locked eyes with one another.
He broke eye contact, before stammering. "I should go, if Barry gets one of his legs broken again I won't hear the end of it."
"Whose Barry by the way?" Raven inquired.
"The Flash, and let me tell you something, guy is a total prankster." Naruto chuckled. "But, not as good as me."
"Well…wait until you meet my team, and you'll say a different thing." Raven commented.
"I'll pick you up next week, Titan Tower?" Naruto asked as he began to walk away.
"Sure, you can come inside and get me if you like." Raven offered as she started to wash the dishes.
"Not a problem, Raven-chan." Naruto blurted out, before slamming both of his hands over his mouth.
"What did you just say?" Raven eyed him.
"Oh nothing, got to go!" Naruto yelled as he warped out of the kitchen.
Leaving Raven by herself with the dishes, before she smiled and walked over to the table and looked around before stealing his mash potatoes, and rice. She had a thought about stealing hi steak as well, but decided against it.
Instead she put it in the fridge with her magic, and noticed the pitcher of herbal tea. She walked over to it, and took a drink out of it. "If I'm going to clean this place a little, might as well treat myself to his tea." She chuckled to herself a little.
