Ryu awoke and pulled herself up into a sitting position noticing it was dark outside, but Raven was sitting there meditating and Beastboy was playing video games. She coughed slightly to make herself known in the room. This caused Raven to wheel around and Beastboy to pause his game as he also turned around. "Where are the others?" she asked quietly.
"Asleep," Beastboy said.
"Good," she said as she looked at Raven, noting the look in her eyes, "You can only repeat some of these facts to Robin and the others you two because they need to think that Zarbon is the enemy Raven it's actually necessary that we keep that fact that my brother's not in his right state of mind, because they'll hold back and that could prove deadly for you and the other titans." Ryu said.
"What do you mean not in the right state of mind?" Beastboy asked.
"Let me start from the beginning of this story right after we left from your planet. Zarbon was placed under watch on my father's wishes for six long months. From what my sources gather he was brainwashed or something along the lines of that and has become a killing machine. You see without the crystals that are placed on our heads we are susceptible to mind attacks and you see only we can take them of on our free will." Ryu paused letting it sink in.
"So where do you fit in all of this?" Raven asked.
"Well that's the where you come in as well Raven, cause during those six months I was sent away on mission after mission, and when I finally arrived back on the home planet I discovered this had happened. Let's make this known now they kept me in his memories, but tried to delete you out of it. Well see love for a powerful emotion I guess and he keeps on having recurring dreams about you. I tried to make him remember but our father found out recently and sent Zarbon to kill me."
"But he failed," Raven said.
"Exactly, and father probably wants me dead at his feet so Zarbon is probably heading to back to Earth with the DX group, to back him up."
"The who?" Beastboy questioned.
"A rowdy bunch of womanizing freaks which my brother uses at bodyguards and calls friends."
"And why does he need bodyguards?" Beastboy asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"What he didn't tell you Raven," Ryu said with a frown, Raven shook her head. "Our father is sole ruler of Raith and Zarbon is sole heir to the throne, Zarbon is stronger than them combined but still they're just there for show mostly and to 'protect' him." Ryu said. "Remember when back 2 years ago when I said he was a flirt that was the DX's doing. Plus it was because he had over 90 fiancées in his entire life time but he killed everyone of them for some reason or another." Ryu winced as the dull ache that had subsided in her ribs flared up again.
Beastboy noticed this and got up trying to help her lie down. Ryu saw the movement and slowly moved her hand slightly but her fingernails grew at least to times until they were like claws. Beastboy sat back down almost immediately.
"Is there any way to get him back to normal?" Raven questioned.
This time Ryu shrugged and glanced down at her nails, "Look Raven there's always away to get a persons memory back it's like amnesia in a way, except were going to have to force the memories in this time I just don't know how to yet but I'll figure it out."
Beastboy finally mustered up all his courage and said, "Get some rest you'll need it before Robin comes and starts trying to scan your memory for any tidbit of information that can be used to our advantage." Ryu looked at him for a minute, before nodding slightly and lying back down. This satisfied Beastboy and he soon left the room.
Raven knew for some reason Ryu had wanted to talk to her so she stayed for a little while longer till they heard Beastboy's door slide to a close.
Ryu looked at Raven out of the corner of her eye, "2 things Raven before you go number 1 don't you have the power to heal things." She said with a small smile.
Raven blushed slightly but under her hood you couldn't see it, "Yeah actually I do but it was mostly Robin's idea that you should sort of stay like that. He doesn't trust you."
Ryu shrugged, "His loss being in a position like this puts me on the edge and I'm quicker to strike and less time to think more or less. Plus I hate being in a position like this." Raven walked over and placed her hand over Ryu's chest, her hand glowed white for a second before Ryu felt the pain vanish. "Thanks Raven." Raven turned to leave and as she was walking out the door Ryu, spoke again, "He was supposed to kill me Raven that was his orders just like he was supposed to kill you, but he didn't Raven."
"What do you mean?" Raven said as she turned around.
"When we began to fight I realized that he was holding back and when I decided I could take no more I realized that there was still a lot of energy in my body and I knew that he knew it to. He let me go, to warn you I don't know but Raven there's still some memories, I guess that's what I'm trying to say is that there's a chance that it will be easier for us to figure out a way to counter the brainwashing."
Raven nodded and slowly turned and headed back to her room.
