I sat in deep meditation, my breath rising and falling evenly. Nothing existed except me. I was free. Nothing could touch me. Not my father, not the team, not Slade, no one. I was just me. Just Raven. I was-

Crash.

I opened my eyes. Something had broken. I heard nervous laughter coming from the corner. I looked over only to see Beast Boy standing guiltily next to a shattered crystal ball.

"You idiot!" I growled. "What are you doing in my room? Get out."

Then, he did something odd. He smiled, almost devilishly. He raised a single hand and rested it on my shoulder. All of a sudden, a dark red stain seeped through the sleeves of my cloak. My shoulder was shredded in four places, and where Beast Boy's hand had been, there was a shining claw, made of glistening knives.

Raven bolted awake, then gasped at the searing pain in her shoulder. She glanced at it, then drew in a breath.

There were four deep gashes in her pale flesh.
