A/N: I apologize, everyone who was enjoying my work, for my long hiatus. My work and my life have been... chaotic, to say the least. I'm averaging 100 hours a pay period these days, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, I'm almost always too tired to do any writing. Even my Roleplaying, which I do on a few sites, has been cut off. Still, I've been getting reviews for this story, even with it's obvious hiatus, and it's made me want to continue it.

On another note, I felt I should mention a few things:

1) Raven's Emotions. I was slightly annoyed during the cartoon with them, the colors were almost perfect, expect Timid and Knowledge should have switched cloaks. I bet you all are asking my reasoning, no? It's DC Continuity. There is already an established color/emotion status quo, thanks to the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum introduced in the Green Lantern story. And aside from Timid (Fear) being Grey and Knowledge (Logic, often represented as grey and bland) being Yellow. Happy, which can be considered Raven's affection, is pink, the color of Love. Bravery could easily be considered the aspect representing Raven determination and will, and is Green. The Red of Rage is obvious, of course. And Rude, being orange, is the most appropriate representation of Greed. Not to mention Raven herself has a blue cloak, and she's been stated many times as being a being full of Hope. And her White Cloak represents Life, a new start for her. As such, I will be switching their cloaks within my story, to uphold Continuity.

2) Names. As you've probably noticed, I'm using not only their codenames, but their real names as well. Many only familiar with the cartoon will not know the other names, so I'll list them here.

Nightwing: Richard Grayson

Starfire: Koriand'r

Changeling: Garfield Logan

Cyborg: Victor Stone

Raven: Raven Roth

Terra: Tara Markov

Kid Flash: Wally West

Gizmo: Micron O'Jeneus

Mammoth: Baran Flinders

Now, on with the story:

Groggily, Jinx came back to the land of the living. One arm covering her eyes, the other holding the edge of the warm comforter, she lay there, trying to gain her bearings. Okay, think Jinx. Last night, we got to the club, started dancing, got into a drinking contest with Bottomless Billy... oh, that's what happened. Note to self, don't try to out-drink a man the size of Baran. Over an hour passed before she finally gathered the will to open her eyes, and at least another ten before her eyes could see without her getting that stabby feeling in her brain. The first thing she noticed was that she wasn't in her room. Okay, I didn't make it back to the base. The second, was that the surroundings were eerily familiar.

Oh, crap! I'm in the frickin' T-Tower. Don't panick... you haven't done anything wrong. Well, except bringing a building down on he-who-must-not-be-named, but that douche deserved it! Rambling, Rambling! Calm, centre, focus... breath... Taking in a deep breath, Jinx started coughing because of the sheer dryness her throat was suffering from. "Bad.. Augh! Bad idea." After the coughing had finally settled, Jinx sighed. The hell happened last night?

The trademark 'whoosh' of the door opening sounded then, causing Jinx's head to swing- far too quickly for her own good- in that direction. She winced from the pain, making her unable to glimpse the figure who walked in. "I see you are awake. Good." Oh, great. It was Raven, just what Jinx needed. "I brought you some herbal tea. I am told it this particular blend is a good remedy for a hangover." Jinx finally managed to open her eyes, looking directly into the azure color of the other woman's own. "Judging from the chaos in your emotions, you have a rather bad one this afternoon."

Jinx blinked twice before it dawned on her. "Afternoon!? How long have I slept?" Throwing the covers off and jumping out of the bed, Jinx wasn't ready for the sudden pain and lack of balance simultaneously hitting her. The result: She barreled right into Raven, spilling the tea over them and landing both in a... compromising position. "S-sorry!" Jinx yelled. "But seriously, I should get going, I've already overstayed my welcome." Rising up, she was about to run out of the door when Raven grabbed her hand. "Not like that. I am not going to let people think we are terrible hosts. Get in the shower, I'll bring you a change of clothes."

And with that, Raven walked out of the room. Leaving a very confused Jinx. Until the hexcaster felt the warm damp all over her back. "Oh... the tea. Riiiiiight. Shower it is."

As soon as she heard the water turn on, Raven started on the walk to the Tower's laundry room. She knew Jinx wouldn't share her own taste in clothing, and doubted that the harbinger of unlikelyhoods would appreciate Starfire's bubbly attire, either. Luckily for her, there was another girl in the tower, once more. The familiar swooshing sound of the Ops doorways sounded as the sorceress entered their all in one living quarters.

"Tara, could I talk to you?" Raven simply stated before again walking out of the Ops Center. Tara looked up, eying each of the other Titans for opinions. And judging by their expressions, this was a common thing for Raven to do. So, she stood, and quickly followed the demi-demoness out of the room. Finding her standing in front of Tara's own room. "I'm sorry to bother you, Tara. I... accidentally spilt tea on Jinx, so she needs a change of clothes. She'd appreciate your taste more than mine or Kori's." Raven smiled nervously at Terra, knowing this seemed out of character.

Terra, though, simply smiled and dragged the dark titan into her room. "I'll fetch something light for wearing around the tower. You plan on washing her actual clothes, right?"

Jinx was in heaven. The tower's plumbing must be impressive if they got such incredible pressure in all the rooms, she thought with a sigh as the water melted away all woes and worries, calming the hexgirl. A knock on the door brought her out of her revelry, though. "Yes?" She called out from the shower, figuring it was Raven. A rather obvious thing, as the girl in question responded. "Shall I leave the change of clothes out here, or do you mind me coming in?" Jinx laughed at the shy girl. "We're both girls, Raven, don't be shy."

The door opened, flooding steam into the room beyond as Raven stepped inside, quickly going over the room before stopping her gaze dead on Jinx's silhouette. So lithe... She could make out ever curve and crevice on her body thanks to her naturally enhanced vision, and it was a captivating sight. She had not even realized she was staring before Jinx piped up. "I know I'm captivating, but staring is rude, Rae." That got the dark titan's attention, and she quickly set the clothes down and ran towards the doorway, stopping only to speak. "We'll be having dinner soon, if you want to join us, you are welcome." Then she bolted from the door, thankful that the shower's glass doors prevented Jinx from seeing the bright red blush on her face.

On the other side of the door, Jinx too, was blushing. Oh my... Is Raven attracted to me? Could... could that dream have actually been a vision? I haven't had one since... since the HIVE Five captured Wally. That was it. She had a vision about her own ideal future, and Raven was a key part. But the rest of the dream was... cryptic. She'd have to meditate on it.

When Jinx did not arrive for the meal, Raven began to worry. The woman had been severely intoxicated, and her body would need nutrients soon. So, grabbing a plate of the vegetarian spread Changeling had made this evening, she went into the living quarters and knocked twice on Jinx's door. No answer came, and that increased Raven's worry. She used her power to unlock the door, and entered to find Jinx... meditating.

It was odd, seeing the normally rambunctious and hyper-active woman, sitting crossed legged on the floor, still as a stone. What's more, a strong aura surrounded her, something Raven knew from experience only came when one has reached a true state of meditation, where one's awareness no longer existed solely within this plane. Smiling slightly, Raven set the food down in front of the woman and moved to her own room, feeling a meditation session would do her good, as well.

Jinx, meanwhile, was walking down her own path within Samsara. She watched how her choices over the last few years have steered her towards a good thing. She could see a light far into the distance, a brightness she'd never seen before in meditation. It was a good omen. All around her, she saw them. People she had met, people she would meet. She saw the strings of fate weaving all of them together, and thanks to her own powers, she could even divine some of the meanings. She smiled, happy with the meditation's results, even if she could not divine the meaning of her vision.

Her eyes opened as her awareness returned to her body. The first thing she noted with the platter of vegetables and fruit in front of her, which was not there when she sat down for her meditation. "She brought me food?" Raven's aura still lingered on the platter, which told her who brought it. The thought that Raven took the time to bring her food made her heart flutter a bit. Even after switching to the side of heroes, Jinx rarely received kind actions. It was a heartwarming thing for her, this simple act.

Meanwhile, with the other magic user in the tower, we see a similar sight to what Raven walked in on when she checked upon Jinx. Raven floated a few inches off of her floor, crossed legs and hands at her knees, slowly repeating her mantra, one word for each inhale and exhale. She, too, was in a deep meditative state, though for her, her awareness was within her own being, not walking amidst the fabric of destiny. She needed to talk to her emotions. However, the moment she entered Nevermore, she was approached by the grey cloaked aspect of Knowledge. "We need to talk, Mistress."

"This is unexpected, Knowledge. You've never been so forceful." Raven nodded to the emotion, if you could call her logical side that. Still, if the logic-based aspect saw a need for this, she would listen. "What's on your mind?" The grey-cloaked aspect seemed apprehensive for a bit, before she nodded and looked into the distance, seemingly lost for a bit, before turning back. "I've... We've come to a bit of a consensus, Mistress. We believe... our time has come." Raven looked at Knowledge confusingly. "What do you mean?"

Knowledge smiled at her. "We've... that is to say, myself and the other emotions, have always known we would one day become only a hindrance to you. And we all agreed, that when that time comes, we'd ask you take us back. We want nothing but the best for you, Mistress, and right now, that means making you whole again." Placing one hand on Raven's shoulder as comfort, she continued. "We will not act without your consent, Mistress, just know we all believe this is what is best for you. Take time to think on it, and let us know your decision when you are ready."

Raven was so stunned by the aspect's words that she lost contact with Nevermore, falling from her levitated position and hitting the ground as her meditation was broken. She just sat there, awe struck. Her emotions were willing to... become one again. But is that what she wanted? Even as they were now, she could feel emotion. It just wasn't as strongly. Would she be able to handle her full emotions?
