Prologue
All was peaceful in the titans tower, everyone was asleep, everyone except Raven. She tossed and turned restlessly trying to sleep. Her dark blankets rippled as her body rolled around in discomfit. Eventually she gave up this fruitless task and floated to the middle of her room to meditate. She breathed deeply as she chanted her mantra azarath metrion zinthos over and over again calming herself. Suddenly her pale face twisted as she bent over in agony falling to the floor. Her cape swirled around her as she hit the ground. She felt white hot pain spreading through her body and she couldn't move a muscle. She lay there paralyzed, unable to scream…..
Robin woke up sweating after a terrible nightmare. He had dreamt that Raven was in excruciating pain. Jumping out of bed he quickly pulled on his red, green and yellow uniform and weapons before hurrying out of his room. He rushed down the dawn-lit corridor telling himself this is silly, she's probably fine. Since when do you have prophetic dreams anyway? Ignoring this he reached Raven's door. He hesitated, knowing she didn't like people in her room. However he remembered his awful dream and opened the door………..
Raven couldn't move; she lay there rigid on the floor suffering and unable to stop the pain. The pain was incredible, she had never felt this much pain ever before. Suddenly she heard the sound of feet thumping against the floor, they were coming this way, whoever they were. She heard them stop, just outside her door and willed them to come in. Slowly the door opened and light poured in. Through the light raven could just see this bright red, before she fainted.
