Characters: Raven (Rook) / Malchior /Kyd Wykkyd, Beast Boy
Raven, despite whatever she claims to her friends, is Not Okay. There is Something Off about her, and it's driving Beast Boy up the wall. For weeks now, she has disappeared at all kinds of hours and when she returns, she is exhausted. He peeks his head out of his door sometimes as she glides past his room heading to her own and he watches her sway.
She hasn't coughed, sneezed, or come down with a fever though she sometimes appears drunk on air. When it seems she's getting better, she'll disappear for a day and come back staggering. He's getting desperate enough just to corner her and find out what's going on but some part doesn't want to know.
He's afraid to know.

There is Something Wrong with Raven and she can feel it. When Raven has a hard day, she goes to her room and without thinking, heads to her closet, pulls open the doors and
She doesn't know what happens next.
She'll wake up about a day later feeling like she's going through withdrawal. From what she does not know but she doesn't want ask.
She's afraid too.

Rook knows there's Something Not Right with her though she doesn't know what. She is never truly awake until she has one hand of Kyd's and one of Malchior's in her grasp as she leads them to their room. However, Something calls to her and before the dawn comes she goes.
Then she disappears again.
Rook knows what is wrong in her hearts of hearts. But the rest of her doesn't; she is afraid as well.

Raven is Sick. Rook is the Sickness.
Malchior thinks he might know the cure.
(He isn't afraid. But he should be.)
