Her speech given and her lust sated for the moment, Raven decided to meditate a bit on the roof. It wasn't necessary, but why break a harmless habit? Besides, it helped clear her mind of her lust and let her plan things better. A good ruler doesn't think with her pussy ALL the time, after all. Raven wanted to make a city that the world would envy, not pity. ...or would it be a country? Well, whatever.
"Like Ah told that fanboy, this ain't a tourist attraction!" Raven heard Billie-Joe Numerous shout. "Get back on yohr ship and get outta here! I don't care how much ya'll pay me. Ah got a job to do!" Visitors? Well, this warrented Raven's attention indeed. Teleporting down, Raven patted Billie-Joe on her back.
"Now, now, Billie-Joe," Raven said, looking over the three. "Don't be so hostile. You're a guard, not a bouncer." "Hmm. Something is...off about these three. Especially the woman," she thought. She was detecting something...beyond mortal levels in this woman. "...so what brings members of the Justice League to my abode?" she asked, giving them a knowing look. She pegged the woman as Wonder Woman. The other two stumped her, but they were undoubtedly with the League.
The man smiled charmingly. "I think you've got us confused with someone else," he said. "I'm Winston Prince. This is my wife Margaret and my daughter Jean." Raven stared at him for a moment before whispering as softly as she could without moving her lips much. "I wish that I knew who these three were and I had the necessary defense against them."
Suddenly it all clicked. "The man is Batman. Bruce Wayne. Became Batman due to the death of his parents..." In fact, Raven seemed to learn more then she intended about each of them. She shook her head. She honestly didn't care that Martian Manhunter had a love of Oreo cookies. "Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. You of call people shouldn't try to underestimate me. Now, I'll ask again," Raven said, her voice taking a more insistent tone. "What do you want here? If you're interested in moving to New Azarath, I'll need to see passports. ...hmm. I think I need to a set up an immigration center." The last part was muttered under her breath as a sidenote.
Charming demeaner disappearing, Batman narrowed his eyes. "What are you up to?" he demanded. Wonder Woman held her hand out in front of him before he could do anything. "Calm down. This is an investigation, not an interrigation," she warned. J'onn, still in the form of a teenage girl, sighed. "We need to know your intentions, Raven. If you pose a danger to the rest of the world, it's the League's responsiblity to stop you. You know this."
Billie-Joe split into several copies. "Jus' try it, ya..." she began before Raven shot her a look that shut her up and made her reintergrate. "Excuse Billie-Joe. She's very passionate about her job," Raven explained. "As for what I'm up to, I thought I made it clear in my broadcast...which, might I add, I'm surprised you saw. Bored at the office, Bruce?" Chuckling, Raven shrugged. "Very well. I'll talk with you...but one at a time. Billie-Joe will keep you company and I truly wish that you are understanding about my conditions and accept them."
The three looked uncomfortable for a moment before they agreed. "Since you seem the most eager, Batman, you can ask first. Let's go inside. I'm sure J'onn here can keep tabs on you from here." Bruce Wayne followed Raven inside.
"Mistress! Mistress!" Yuri called, running up. "What's wrong, Yuri?" Raven asked, annoyed at being interrupted. "There another girl here. She say she cook!" Raven frowned. Another girl...? Oh! Oh shit, Raven completely forgot about Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload. Plasmus had turned into a cook, hadn't he? "Then there are two cooks," Raven replied. "Don't worry, you can be head chef. Now please leave. I'm trying to have a talk."
As soon as Yuri left, Raven found herself being grabbed and pinned against the wall. "What have you done to Robin?" Bruce growled.
