Dark Angel-Chapter 3: Only the Darkness

Life has no meaning.

There's no tunnel at the end of it, no golden gates, no God.

There's only darkness. Meaningless, and darkness.

How can anyone know what it's like to die? How can you describe the cold, numbing feeling that crawls through your skin, freezing it? What words can you use to show how you can feel your own heart slow and stop?

There had been a few moments that all I could think of was, this is it.

Then, just as the pain became so powerful it reached a whole new level of definition, I blacked out.

There was no tunnel. No clouds. No heaven. Just... happy endings. Different ways my life could have gone. I watched, as lifetime after lifetime spanned out in front of me. I could have married Starfire. I could have had four kids with names like the planets and bright green eyes. That wasn't all, though. I watched as new scenarios spread from just tiny accidents. I saw how one little brush against Raven could have led to a lifetime with the dark, beautiful Gothic by my side, sharing everything together. I saw how a wrong turn on the R-Cycle could have led to a girl with dark eyes and a dancing smile.

I saw many things. And I was happy. I could have just watched, until I faded away and I'd really be gone. I could have had that peace.

But then something happened. Something tugged at me, telling me I had to go back. But I couldn't. I had to stay. I had too.

My soul depended on it.

Somehow, though, the force succeeded and before I knew it the darkness was wrapping itself around me, pulling me back.

When everything cleared, I was on the roof of the T-Tower, staring down at Starfire.

I don't know what happened. All I knew was that she was the reason I was back. She was the reason I would now never rest.

All I felt was the raw anger; more powerful than anything I had ever felt. I felt like howling, like crying; it was all gone. Now there were only shadows.

I began pulling the alien princess back, determined to make her suffer. It was then that I heard it.

How could you do this Robin? How could you do this to Star?

Raven.

I paused, and looked up to see the witch standing there, as though frozen. Raven...

In the end, I couldn't stop it. I threw Starfire over the edge and gladly watched her die. She was luckier than she thought. She could now have the rest I was denied.

Now, I follow the gothic of the team, watch her vain attempts to try and pick up the pieces of her life.

Raven is the only one who can understand. Cyborg, Beast Boy... neither have the ability to see me. The knowledge to hear me. They will go on with their lives.

I will follow Raven for the rest of her life. And when she goes, when she dies as nothing more than a heap of rags in a dark alley, then I will really be lost.

Lost, with nothing but the darkness.
