Cyber Punk 4
It was all white hot yellow, blinding and painful, and it was all Jason could do to hold onto consciousness. Through the spots dancing in his vision, he could see Raven in the center of it all, head thrown back and eyes the red of blood and rage. It was so hard to reconcile the demonic young woman in front of him with his partner of a year, but Jason forced himself to accept them as the same, knowing that if he couldn't, no one could.
"Rae," he whispered. She didn't so much as turn that blood-soaked gaze in his direction.
"Rae," he tried again, louder. She twitched, but showed no other reaction.
"Raven!" he shouted, crawling towards her. Her eyes snapped to him, locking onto his form as she snarled.
Lightning played over his partner's form as Jason forced his body to move towards her. He ignored the lightning that snaked out from her to crackle, whip-like, over his head.
"Raven," he hissed, his eyes meeting hers.
"Raven," he called as his hand grabbed her ankle. Her eyes blazed as the lightning swirled around them both.
He used her body to pull his own upright, standing with his arms wrapped around her as her power cowed everyone else in the Titans. "Raven," he crooned in her ear. "Raven, Raven, Raven," he chanted, a mantra.
He watched as her eyes stopped glowing crimson, returning to their normal state, and the lightning simply faded away. He held her as her power sank back into her slender frame and the others pulled themselves upright. He squeezed her hand tight in his own as the boss congratulated her on conquering her powers, on being the first elemental type to do so and on paving the way for future elemental types to do the same.
He kissed her because they both wanted him to.
