[David Lance POV]
With an unsteady alliance set with Batman, I began to play my next steps to deal with the situation I had created.
Even though Batman had given his word, I had no assurance things would play out the way I wanted them to, aning I had to tread lightly and watch my every step.
Beyond that. There was still much to do, much to resolve, and little ti to do.
In fact, there was so little ti in my table that it was impossible to deal with the situation by myself.
I had the Lanterns to recruit, or what was left of them, and the Shazam situation.
Ideally, if I had the ti I would invest myself in dealing with each situation, but that wasn't the case, aning I had no choice but to break this task with Raven.
I would deal with the Lanterns, and she would deal with the Shazam situation.
While I honestly didn't want to break my path from Raven's so soon, I knew it was the only way to solve this situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
As much as I hated it, I needed to be pragmatic. Now more than ever, I had to stay focused and in control of my emotions, especially the ones that wanted to just be by her side.
I knew very well that any misstep could an disaster for not just myself, but everyone involved.
I owed this universe that much.
And in order for to pay that debt, I had to stay one step ahead of everything. This was the path ahead of , however perilous it may be.
~Raven, as much as I don't want to say this, we need to split up,~ I signed, my hands weaving through it all as I sighed. ~With how little ti we have, we have no choice but to do this.~
Raven snorted, rolling her eyes as she nodded before tackling into a hug. "As much as I don't want to say this? Look who beca a softy," she whispered into my ear before pulling away.
~You've been back in my life for two hours, and you're already trying to bully ?~ I asked with a playful smile.
"Soone has to keep you on your toes," Raven said with a smirk before turning away for so reason. "So, what's my part of this..."
Deciding not to push into whatever was happening, I began to explain. "Seeing you're better suited to deal with the Shazam situation, because well, you're a magic user yourself, you are to find the wizard and convince him to appoint a new Shazam."
At this, Raven turned. "That ans you're left to deal with the Lanterns, correct?"
I nodded, patting her on the head. "Smart girl, want a cookie?"
"I will bite you," Raven threatened.
"Kinky," The unmistakable voice of Lucifer startled us both, as we both jumped to our feet. "I leave you guys be for one hour and fifty-two minutes, and you're already this kinky? I'm starting to think I didn't need to intervene at all."
"It's friendly conversation, nothing more," Raven said calmly, or as calmly as she could pretend to be.
"Hm, yeah, no, let's quote yourself shall we?" Lucifer smirked, summoning a book nad, the quotes of a lovely Raven. "Oh dear David, soone has to keep you up your toes, curled toes. Wink wink."
"I NEVER SAID THAT!" Raven barked at him, blasting at the all-powerful being known as Lucifer with a beam of pure magic.
"And shooting at sure says you didn't, a very Arican approach," Lucifer chuckled, closing the book before dusting himself off from Raven's attack. "On another note, do you have any idea how hard it is to clean an Armani suit from magical residue? Next ti throw a teor or sothing less magical."
Taking a deep breath, I took a step forward and asked. "What are you doing here, Lucifer?"
"Well, I'm here to help of course!" Lucifer winked at us, snapping his fingers in order to summon a na tag to his suit, one that had his na. "So, what's my mission Captain?"
..
....
Oh God, he's being serious.
"I don't have a choice do I?" I asked.
"Smart boy, want a cookie?" Lucifer smirked.
If I ever et God, I will ask for the power to bitch slap Lucifer.
"Fine, if you want to help, help Raven solve the Shazam situation," I said, giving Lucifer a tired look.
"Aye ay nope, I thought I could use that phrase but it sounds wrong," Lucifer chuckled before turning his gaze back on . "Don't worry, I will see it through or my na isn't Lucifer Morningstar."
I suppose that's reassuring, after he doesn't lie.
"Thanks," I nodded, only to notice Raven stare at with a piercing look. "...What?"
Oh I had sent Lucifer with her I feel I will co to regret this at a later date, but that's a problem for future , present does not give enough fucks to deal with Lucifer for more than it absolutely required.
"I read your thoughts right now, and I must say, I am DEEPLY offended and horny, the last one is completely unrelated to your thoughts, that's just being a little rascal," Lucifer said, summoning a drink to his hand.
"You will pay for this," Raven muttered.
Future will, not present .
"Anywho, let's get moving, Windows 30 and Dark Tomato cutter are threats we need to take care of, and ti is of the essence!" Lucifer said, grabbing Raven by the arm. "Besides, Raven, we need to start talking about your lingerie arrangents, you really don't want your boyfriend seeing your everyday underwear unless he's into depression, and then again maybe he is but that's a topic for another ti!"
"David I will KILL YOU FOR THI-" And before Raven could finish her sentence, Lucifer teleported away with her, leaving to wonder how much future would suffer for this little mistake.
Oh well, no ti to ponder. I have a mission to complete.
