"I guess you could say i wish i had your powers if only for that moment to find out..Guess I'll never know though.." He continued "I would say i was normal..but your parents murdered and growing up in tights and a cape..it isn't exactly normal at all. That's part of why i love it here..with you guys..You know whats its like to be different..and here, none of that matters." He laid back on his bed, looking up and over at her, wondering if she would join him.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Character: Raven<br/>Location: Nightwing's Room<br/>Tag: Nightwing<br/>Time: Sunday morning</strong><br/><hr/><br/>She smiled as he tried to re-assure her. "Well ... alot of things change. Having an entire cities emotions poured into my head ... while certainly not pleasant, did give some perspective. Those people had powerful, primal emotions ... it was ... beautiful."<br/><br/>"Love ... lust ... desire ... attraction, all these things were kind of foreign to me; as powerful emotions for me ... are not always a good thing. It felt good buying that skimpy bikini ... felt good to feel sexy... to feel like I was the object of someone's desire. It was enlightening feeling the urge to give myself to someone so completely that it scared me. "<br/>She had a devious smile on her face. "You know... right now, I think I'm going to get up ... walk out that door and go tell that person how I feel ... even thought it terrifies me.  Because if I manage to feel like anyone of those people out there ... even for a moment, I'll be happy."<br/><br/>She pulled herself up and off the bed, pausing just as she was about to open the door. "Oh ... and it's never been about man or woman."<br/><br/>She knew Nightwing would notice she avoided answering his question about 'them', but she wasn't in a place to talk about that. Zatanna deserved better than a team-mate would would steal her boyfriend (or would be boyfriend ... after all everyone could see the writing on the wall); and with any luck Dove would have someone who wasn't so easily dissuaded from her path.
