"How bad is it?" Raven spoke in her monotone voice to the woman dressed in white who stood before her.
The doctor gave a sad sigh. "Your body is slowly deteriorating, and has been doing so for some time. My guess is, because of your healing powers you didn't notice it sooner. The cause is still undetermined, so I'd like you come back for some more tests..."
Raven interrupted the woman. "No, I already have an idea of the cause. There is no need for the tests." Raven could tell the doctor wanted to question her, but instead remained silent. "How long do you estimate I have?"
"So you already know it's fatal, then?" The doctor wasn't expecting an answer, the question was really more of a comment. She continued, "Well, with a normal person, I would give it weeks. But with your powers, I could not even begin to guess. It could be months or even years. I'll look into finding something to help you with the information I've already gathered."
Raven thanked the doctor, neither her voice nor face betraying any hint of emotion, and left the building.
She knew the cause of her 'illness' was Anger. But for once she had no idea what, if anything, she could do. Meditating would help, but Raven doubted she could stop Anger without releasing her from her fragile prison.
Raven, instead of bothering looking for a cure that didn't exist, took her sudden shortening of life as a sign. She decided to make what time she had left something she could look back on her last months or years with a happy heart. Raven smiled grimly at the irony of her words.
A/N: Sorry for the shortness of the chapters! Hopefully they'll get longer. Ideas and suggestions are very much appreciated!
