[Raven / Rachel Roth - POV]
[Young Justice]
After leaving Dr. Kent and the others behind, I went to collect the other ingredients I had left in my room before starting to prepare them for the spell. Once I had all the ingredients in my possession, I opened a portal to a desolate area where I would have the room and peace of mind to prepare everything correctly.
What I was about to do wasn't easy. It would be, without a doubt, the hardest spell I had ever attempted to use in all my life. It needed careful preparation and perfection at every turn, as I had to draw symbols and runes in the blood of Teekl, all while chanting in ancient long forgotten tongues.
But even if it felt impossible, I would not fail him, not again.
Using my magic, I began to draw the symbols around the area, chanting the long-forgotten arcane words in the order it was required. Once I was done with the sigils and the runes, I channeled my mana into the spell, lighting the runes and sigils in a dark red tone.
Now, all I had to do was keep channeling my mana into the symbols until the portal opens.
"Hm, a rather crude method of traveling, but I suppose it will do," A voice said, coming from behind me.
An enemy? A friend?
It didn't matter; either way, if I moved, everything I had done, every step I had taken until now would be for nothing; if I stopped now... no... NO!
"Relax, I honestly mean no harm," The unknown man chuckled before walking into view. "The name is Lucifer Morningstar, and yes, the pleasure is all yours."
Lucifer Morningstar...
He was the devil.
.....
What did I just say?
Did... did he just bewitch me?
"Now let's talk first-date arrangements," Lucifer said, index finger pressed upon his lips. "Let's see. It would be your first date, so... something overly cliche... Hmm... Chocolate-covered strawberries and a romantic stroll down the river? Or maybe a night out on the town? What's your budget?"
I stared at Lucifer in disbelief. Before deciding, it would be best to simply ignore him, even if he could will me out of existence. "Thanks for the help, but I need to bring David back, and I can't waste my time with you."
"Hmm, a low budget, you say?" Lucifer said, ignoring my words and continuing with his own agenda as he followed me through the portal. "Worry not, I have plenty of money, and I'm overly invested in this, so no limits."
"Could we change the subject?" I asked as calmly as possible.
"Like lingerie arrangements?" Lucifer asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"No!" I almost shouted. My magic going out of control for a brief moment as I lost hold of my emotions.
"I assure you, I am an expert in lingerie," Lucifer said, his face now more serious, looking almost insulted at my reaction. "I can make sure without an ounce of doubt that your future boyfriend is titillated by whatever you choose as your outfit."
I stared at him, my eyebrow twitching in disbelief. How did I even get into this mess?
"But I suppose we can change the subject to something else," Lucifer continued, a small smirk forming on his lips.
"Thanks," I muttered with a sigh.
"Waxing arrangements?" Lucifer suggested nonchalantly.
"WE HAVEN'T EVEN GONE ON OUR FIRST DATE YET!" I exclaimed exasperatedly, my voice echoing throughout the portal.
"Oh, so that means there will be a first date," Lucifer said, a satisfied smirk on his face. "I suppose I should start looking for that lingerie now, then. Better be prepared for any development."
I want to die.
