[The PCD clacks and the view shakes a bit, but finally centers on Horst's happy face. He's up on a roof, with four bottles of liquor and a chair.]

Right, you bunch of nutters, I'm going to sit up here and watch you all run about.

Tyki, you want a drink? I'm up here in the sane corner of the world.

[He stands, a little unsteadily. He has been drinking all night. He holds out a bottle.]

Good evening, Spatzi.

Ah. That'll depend on you, handsome.

[She walks to him slowly, as if he's the prey she's hunting. A flick of her wrist and the bottle flies out of his hand into hers.]

What poison did you choose for me then?

Vodka.

[This is not his Spatzi. He wonders how to ask what's changed, but he supposes he'll have to wait until she's back to normal.]

You gave Alice a scare.

Vodka? You should be ashamed, giving such strong alcohol to an underage girl like me... Bad vampire~.

[She brings the bottle to her red-painted lips and takes a long swig from it. It's unclear whether it's because of the alcohol suddenly burning its path down her throat or Horst's last sentence... but Raven's eyes go wide and she brings her free hand to her mouth, coughing slightly.]

...Alice?

[He nods, but decides not to elaborate on poor Alice.]

How underage are you, superhero?

[He should have. The memory of Alice is threaded with the last fidgments of Raven's good side. And those are still there, trapped deep within her.]

[As soon as he changes topic the lost look in her eyes vanishes. She makes a face.] Superhero? [She snorts and her eyes flash red.] Do I look like one of those dumb do-gooders? [She drinks some more before she adds in drawl.] Didn't come here to get insulted.

No. You came here to drink, mm? Cheers.

[She raises her bottle, nodding emphatically. She looks quite cool and sober on the outside.] Damn right. I came to... [Whereas she obviously isn't, not anymore.] Wait. I though I was here because you wanted to get me drunk to get me to tell you... something. Whatever. But Hell! How could you? You're smashed already...

[And she seems to be finding this extremely funny because she starts giggling. You didn't ever heard Raven giggle, Horst, hmm? Well here you go. Each sip of vodka she takes make her feel all warm and fuzzy.]

[He gives her a wary smile, and motions for her to sit down with him.]

What's the last thing you remember back home?

[Raven tilts her head but her smile widens at the wary expression he wears. She likes it when people fear her. After all, she's Trigon's daughter so it's only natural that they do.]

I was about to open the portal. The Prophecy was gonna be fulfilled. At last. [Another gulp of vodka before she finally sits down next to him.] Bloody Robin and his boyscouts... I guess this is all their fault.

[...So that's what changed.

He makes a mental note to pamper the hell out of his Raven at the end of the event.

You've been fighting Robin a while?

[She gives him a little impatient sigh.] You know I've been. Though it could have been different... If only he had accepted Slade's offer and become his apprentice. We could have fought side by side and... [A dreamy look.] I think I would have liked that.

But you can't change the past, huh?

...No. We can't.

[Hesitantly, he reaches out to tuck her hair behind her ear, looking for some sign of his Raven.]

[Raven doesn't seem to notice. Or maybe she just doesn't care.] I should have convinced him. Going into his mind and change the way he thought... But I kept hoping he'd come to it by himself. Scathe... He almost did. Stupid Boy Blunder... [Robin's real nickname is the "Boy Wonder" but it's far too flattering for her to use it.]

[She drinks some more before turning back to Horst a curious look on her face.] How did you make me by the way? I can't remember...

'Make you'? [He has a feeling he knows what she means.]

It was your idea. I needed.... Merlin wasn't enough, and you offered to help me.

[He looks at her wrist then, looking for the bracelet.]

My idea? Don't be ridiculous... [She gives a snort and her sneer is not a nice one. How dared he suggest she'd offered that?] I had no reason to let you have me at your mercy. [It's impossible for her to believe she'd trust him that much.] Besides we wouldn't have needed to form a full bond for you to be able to drink my blood! I only needed to have access to your mind. [And although she is not herself this week, what she says is the truth. A truth Raven has never told Horst before.] So I ask again, how did you manage to have me let you inside my mind? You "mesmerized" me or something like that?

[Her left wrist is hidden by the hem of her glove, as usual.]

[He just looks at her, baffled, touched, suddenly very worried. But all he does is shake his head.]

You told me it had to be that way. It's why I told you what I did. Mutual respect.

Mutual... Respect... [Again that lost look on her face. As if she's trying to remember something. But some part of her doesn't want her to. The demon side has the upper hand this week and it won't give it up that easily. Her look hardens again and she shakes her head in denial.]

The only one I owe respect to is my Master. Slade.

[She presses her right hand above her chest in allegiance. Then she takes the bottle in her left hand and raises it as if to toast. As she drinks, the bracelet slides slightly down her wrist and comes uncovered.]
