8 uncle Luci
OC POV
⇥It had been a month and a half since the whole 'fiasco', everything was going fine. So far there's been only been a mission a few patrols. Lying on the bed, sitting upright, I was reading how to The Colour Purple. It had honestly made me cry a few times, I heard a knock from the door. I rubbed the stitching on the bottom hem of my pj's, of which I still haven't changed out of.
"Come in," I said
"Morning," Damina said.
"Hey, Dames. What's up?" I ask
"Need another book suggestion," he said.
"Gone Girl, it's a mystery novel?" I said.
He shakes his head. I get up and head over to my various collection of novels. Throughout the time Damian has spent hear, we've been trading and burrowing books. I look scan through the labels, that were organised through authors names.
"G, g, Gillian Flynn," I said and take out the book.
"So, how's the colour purple going?" He says about the book he allowed me to borrow.
"It, it made me cry," I say, with a dash of embarrassment.
He just chuckles "I knew you would like it, Pennyworth gave it to me but it's not to my liking, it's, emotional,"
"Well, you'll like this one. It's a mystery one, gave me chills. Let's see if you can solve it, detective," I say
"I'm sure I will," he says smiling and heads off.
I flop onto my bed and hear my phone vibrate. It was in the private section. I've made my phone contacts into two sections. One section of contacts to vibrate and call when others weren't near my phone, and contacts that could vibrate anytime.
😈Uncle Luci 👿: hey kid, want to come to visit?
Oc🦄: sure! Which earth?
😈Luci 👿: Earth 666
Oc🦄: Okiee!
I hop out and change into a blue singlet, flowy jeaned pants a blue jacket. I tied up my black boots and grab my necklace.
I head on out and pass the living room with the rest of the team -besides Damian- were.
"Kori, I'm going out. I won't be here for a day or two. Visiting a friend. Contact me if you guys if a mission or something comes up. No questions asked, Bye!" I say.
"Um, okay?" Kori says.
I head off, I enter down an ally way and put my hands on the wall. My eyes start to glow to speak an ancient language.
(Grant me access) I say
The bricks begin to fall off and reveal a glowing light. I step in, and as I enter the bricks go back into their normal positions.

Damian's POV
The book that she gave me was pretty good. I must say that it took me a few chapters until I figured what happened to the wife. Well, I had two other suspicions as well. I was already halfway through the book. Val and I have grown closer to her, I had these weird feelings as well when I was around her. I liked talking to her, and when we swapped books we would usually talk about it which was honestly boring, but the fact that Val was there and how she spoke of how fond she was of the books kept me captivated. I knocked at her door, no answer. I opened the door but no Val, I looked around to only see her book open on the page she was in. I walked around the tower but no sign of her. I went into Starfire's room, to ask.
"Starfire, do you know where Val is?" I ask
"Oh, she said she was visiting a friend. She will back in a day or two," she says putting down her hairbrush.
"Oh," I say with disappointed.
"You, you like her. Don't you?" Starfire says
"What?! No! She's, she's just a friend. You shouldn't jump to such conclusions Starfire," I cross my arms and blush a little.
"You know, it's okay if you don't understand these feelings. Dick and I were very close friends and we found out that we were more-"
"I don't need your romantic experiences if my obnoxious brother Grayson," I say.
"If that's what you say," she says and then I walk out.

OC POV
I call Luci, it was 4:30 in the afternoon on this earth.
"Luci, um where do I meet you?"
["Kid, I'll text you the address,"]
I got the address and headed for the directions, a nightclub, called Lux. Seriously. For the guys who ruled hell and locked it up, he really had no better name to call it. Lux meaning light in Latin. I wait outside the club with a bunch of people in the line, and text Luci. A security guard with sunglasses looks at me.
"Kid, aren't you a little too young for this place?" he said.
"Oh, no I'm just waiting for my uncle," I say. Luci then walks out and talks to the security guard.
"Uncle Luci," I say
"Hey kid," he says wearing a suit.
"That's your uncle?" the security guard asks.
"Yes, got a problem?" Luci asks a bit firmly.
"Uh, no, no," he says nervously.
"Let's go," Luci says.
Luci wasn't my actual uncle, I just called him that, although he kinda acted like one. We walked down a street to a cafe.
"So how are? How old are you? 13?" he asks with his hands in his pockets.
"I've been good, I've turned fourteen," I say.
"Anything interesting happens with the um, that group you joined?" he says
"It's called the titans Luci, and well a month and a half ago a demon named Trigon came to attack earth and take control it," I say
"Oh, I know Trigon. He's a prick," Uncle Luci laughs.
"So, why did you open a club?" I ask.
"Eh, got bored of hell," he says.
I just laugh "Don't blame ya, oh were here," I point out.

Damian POV
I tapped my foot on the floor while sitting down. It's six at night, Val should be home. No. Starfire said she would be gone for a day or two. Great, she's gone and I'm stuck with these imbeciles. I get a knock from my door.
"What?" I say
The door opens to be 'witch girl'.
"What do you want," I ask
"Starfire says to come down, Nightwing is here," she says.
Great now Grayson is here.
~~~~~~~~~~~
OC POV
I and Luci walked back to the ally. We had a good time, Uncle Luci bought me a brownie and we talked. "See you kid, visit again," he said and opened the portal
"Will do take care," I said and walked in. I had been gone for a day on this earth, time worked differently between each earth. It was currently morning here as I looked at the sky. Walking back to the tower I scrolled down my texts.
9 unread messages
Dami: Starfire says you're gone for a day or two, is she correct?
Dami: So it is
Dami: I just want to say that when you get back can we talk about the books. I managed to figure it out by the way
Dami: Are you getting back any time soon?
Dami: My annoying brother Nightwing is here. Great
Dami: We're going on a mission with him
Dami: We brought some other 'kid' home
Dami: She's got too much attitude, don't like her
Dami: Are coming home now? We've got many things to discuss
I enter the tower to see Starfire.
"Hey, Kori," I wave
"oh, your back. Excellent, We've got a new team member. Her name is Terra, her room is two rooms from yours," she says
"Yeah, I've been informed," I say
"How as your trip?" she asks
"Good, I'm going to my room," I say.
I pass by the lounge room where I see Gar, Jamie and Rachel. Gar has had his arms spread on the couch looking up with Jamie by his side and Rachel opposite them in the corner reading a book.
"She's so pretty," Gar says.
"Dude, I think your lovestruck," Jamie says
"Hey guys," I say.
"Oh, mysterioso have you met the new girl yet?" Jamie says
"No, not yet," I say
"So how was your trip?" Rachel says
"Good, where's Damian?"
"He's training, again," Jamie says
I head to my room where I see a girl with short blonde hair and in a suit that was black and orange.
"Oh, hey. I believe we haven't met yet," I say
"Yeah, obviously. I'm Terra, heard you're the girl without a name," she says
"Yeah, they call me Val cause of my hero name, or you can call me whatever you like,"
"So so you have a name?" She asks
"Maybe or maybe not, Gar, Jamie and Damian are all trying to figure out my name," I say
"Oh, so what's your hero name?" she asks crossing arms
"Valkyrie," I say. I observe her, something is off. I can tell by her position, her shoulders are in constant discomfort, and her tone doesn't sound sincere, scared, shy or any emotion that should be felt to joining a new team.
"So, do you have any clothes to change into?" I ask
"No, Raven's clothes are a bit big and too gothic," she says
"You seem my size, and I have better taste in fashion. You can try mine and if anything fits you can borrow until we buy some new ones," I say
"Sure," she shrugs
We walk in and I enter my walk-in closet. She observes my room.
"Nice room," I hear her say.
"Thanks," I reply.
I got out a black off-shoulder cotton long sleeve shirt and checkered leggings for her. I walk out and she was sitting on my bed.
"Um, try this," I pass for her. She goes into my walk-in wardrobe and comes out.
"This is nice," she says.
"Great, well I'll give you pj's later," I say. She sits on the bed next to me.
"So what do you think of the rest of the teammates?" I say.
"Honestly, greeny is annoying," she says
I laugh "Don't blame ya, but he's nice,"
She just smiles "Raven, is um creepy,"
"Well, if you get to know her she's nice, what about Jamie and Damian?"
"Well Jamie is okay but still annoys me cause I guess he's Gar's friend, Damian doesn't seem he likes me, he's a prick,"
"Well what about me, be honest I don't mind," I say
"You, you seem okay," she says
"You sure, be honest with me seriously," I say
"I told you, you're alright," she says
Me and her walk out and part ways, I walk a room to see Dick. "Oh hey Dick," I say
"Hey, um, you. What did Damian call you? Val was it?" he says
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" I ask
"Hive, brother blood," he says
"Oh I've heard of them, I'm going to see Damian bye!" I skip out.
"Um, Bye?"
I make way to the training room, to see Damian Training as usual. As he finishes I clap.
"Val, your back!" He part gushes. "Why haven't you answered my texts?"
"Sorry," I smile. he grabs my hand and we head to his room.
"Um, sit on my bed I'm just going to take a shower and change," he says.
I wait silently on the bed hugging a pillow. Ten minutes later I see Damian come out with a black shirt and grey jeans. "So, um, I assume you've met out new teammate," he says
I nod "I don't like her, I've tried to find info but a per usual no info from Kori nor Grayson," he says
"Agreed," I go to the door and lock it. "Damian, something is off about her. I can tell by the way she talks, and well everything. She's not a good actress," I say a little softly.
"Finally, someone who I can see eye to eye with," he smirks and sits on the table with a computer. "I've tried getting files on her but nothing, all I know she has powers to move rocks and earth to her bidding," he says putting up the files.
"Let me try," I say, he gets off and I sit with him hovering me while leaning on the seat. I tapped away through the titan's profiles but nothing, so I put on my program I made. "There," I say.
"I knew you could do it," he smiles, and blush slightly.
"This program isn't fully finished, so it may not be the full story. I could only get her early life," I say. "Full name: Tara Markov was a child when her powers emerged. She's somewhat European ethnicity. Markov's parents freaked out and thought she was possessed by evil. She was abandoned and forced to live on the streets, eating out of dumpsters. With the spread of the word, many saw her as a witch and demon-possessed child. They would torture her in front of crowds. One day someone resued her, unknown, Dammit. Trigger word: witch," I say.
"We've got another witch girl," he says and I elbow him.
"What was that for?" he asks rubbing his body to where his rib was located.
"Don't say that," I say
"What?" he says, I just roll my eyes.
"Come on, let's make lunch," I grab his hand.
