Priestess Aishisu: Happy birthday to me…happy birthday to me…happy birthday dear Adularia, (that's my real name, by the way) happy birthday to me! ::Squeezes eyes shut and crosses fingers:: I wish for reviews! ::Opens eyes hopefully and grins:: My wish has been granted!

azarathian6000: UPDATE! update!UPDATE!plz

Priestess Aishisu: Thanks

raven2xhh: is the past raven gonna talk to the future raven? if so, how will she take it? poor cyborg!! so lonely!! and evanessance's lead singer is amy lee. i love evanessance!!
Raven Ann

Priestess Aishisu: Yes, I know who Amy Lee is, I just didn't think either of the Cyborgs would know. They don't particularly seem Evanescence-y…

RavenRulz14: Score! I really like this story! Update soon, or I will hunt you down, and MAKE you update...

Priestess Aishisu: I'm not afraid of you! ::Sticks out tongue:: But thanks anyway.

Raventhedarkgoddess: Excuse my lack of reveiws... I've been reading, but sometimes I forget to press the reveiw button... I'm quite a space-case sometimes.

Anyway, I love the story. You're a great writer! And I'm all out of things to say. So... I'll be waiting for an update.

Priestess Aishisu: Thanks. You're a great writer, too! :)

Raven A. Star: And the plot thickens. XD

I loved how Robin stuck Raven with the task to ask her future self if the Titans were still together. Classic.

And Cyborg from the present time, he finally realizes who the girl in the poster looks like. thumbs up I like! Please continue!

Priestess Aishisu: Well, he was the closest to her, and even Changeling suspected something was up…And who else to stick the task with, if no one else can do it?

DarkGoddessRaven: Good. hurry and update!!

so there is two raven's?

and my story help me is going to turn out to have Cyborg and Raven. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Priestess Aishisu: Yes, there is two Ravens. Cyborg/Raven? Yeah! Though it doesn't make a difference if I tell anybody, somebody just has to check my review page…

BlackStorm: Priestess Aishisu,
Wow, intense. Sorry I didn't review the last 2 or 3 chapters, I've been busy. Yes, Evanesence rules, and the singers' name is Amy Lee (don't ask me how I remember that, I just do). Awesome story so far, keep at it!

BlackStorm

Priestess Aishisu: As I told raven2xhh, I know who Amy Lee is, I just didn't think Cyborg would. I mean, really! Do you think he would?

samuraistar: Cool! Please keep at it! (tosses you black-for-Raven roses)

Priestess Aishisu: Thanks!

Kage-Oni-1: Big shocker for Cyborg. I doubt Raven and RAVEN are going to have a real heart to heart.

PS-STOP blinking after rading my reviews! NO disrespect, but these are some of my first reviews, so they're going to sound stupid.

Priestess Aishisu: Big shocker indeed. And they will, just not this chapter. Also, I blink after reading a lot of my reviews. It's nothing personal.

dark fire chain : awesome!

that was so freakin cool!
Evanescence rocks!!
Update soon please!

(i like exclamation i slelled that wrong sorry Marks!)

Priestess Aishisu: Thanks. Yeah, I noticed that you liked exclamation marks…And Evanescence does rock, doesn't it? It's my favorite band! ::Grins::

angelicdhampir2oo4: Wow.. Hey, this story rockz. However.. I'm a serious science buff, so I'm gonna be a little bit of a jerk.. please forgive me! You see, theoretically actual timetravel is impossible. Or at least, traveling back in time in your own universe. You see, for each movement or decision made, according to popular theorum, a universe is created. Essentially, a universe for every possibility, from raven being bright pink, to Cyborg having exactly one more piece of hair on his body than in another universe. Essentially, time travel is only possible through jumping into another universe altogether that spawned at another point. Basically, the diagram is like this-

Diagram a.1

this being the normal Titans time line, along with multiple possibilities. However, jumping backward in the same string of time is impossible. Time is linear. So basically, youd jump from Universe A to another spawned point, Universe B that hasn't developed as far as Universe A.

So uh.. thats how the time thing works. I probably didn't ecplain it to good, but thats the best I can do across the net. If anyone can explain it better than this and fix the mistakes I no doubt made, I'd appreciate it. In any case, this is one of my fave stories. Keep updating! And don't take my scientific neuroticness personal. it just happens!

Priestess Aishisu: My IQ is college-­­level at age thirteen, I am aware that time travel is impossible. So is being a green-skinned shape-shifter. And no, she didn't jump back along the same string of time, there is indeed a separate universe.
'Universe B,' as you described it, is separate from Universe A. If Raven decides quitting was a bad idea, that will not mean she never quit. When she returns to her time, the time with the past selves will continue to exist without change.
In fact, I wrote a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction about that on another site—because of one single person traveling back in time, that persons' own time stopped existing, and that person became separate from it, because his changes in the past made it that he was never born. Instead of not existing, he now belongs to no universe or time, and can freely live in the different time without fear of affecting the future he came from—because that future didn't exist anymore.
I needed to write a quartet to tie up all the lose ends.

Raven wondered what the consequences would be if she blew something up, though she decided against it in the end. She didn't like pacing or sitting around—it always resulted in remembering. And being in Titan's Tower didn't exactly serve to help.

Shutting her eyes both against tears and the sights around her, she got up. Singing and dancing were the only things which always served to get her mind off the Titans, and she had a concert coming up.

She took one step, then another. Her movements were tentative—singing and dancing were easier in an apartment than in Titan's Tower. Raising her arms gracefully, she spun once and stretched her leg to the side so a tiptoe touched the floor to the right of her. She spun again, skirt flaring out.

It's always so much easier to dance with music…she mused sadly, but pushed the thought out of her mind and focused on doing the ballet-like movements which she was actually capable of doing without thinking.

"Turn around," she sang, hardly aware that her lips were moving. "Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming 'round."

The words seemed less like sound and more like air, swirling around her body. She loved this song—it was the first she had ever heard on earth.

"Turn around
Every now and then I get
A little bit tired of listening
To the sound of my tears"

The movements were coming easier now, more gracefully. The lovely sound of her own voice eased the roar of her thoughts to a gentle hum.

She could get lost in this, and she always did. Her eyes were shut, hair and skirt swirling with her movements. She could hear the music of pianos and guitars as if it were real.

Raven had finished the entire song before she realized that she had company—a company of five applauding superheroes, to be specific.

◄§¥§►

He hadn't told them. He hadn't told anyone. The moment he realized who the girl on the poster looked like, Cyborg dashed into the nearest music store and sprinted to the counter.

Pointing to another picture of Raven (this time she was standing at the edge of a cliff in a periwinkle sundress, wind riffling her hair and skirt as she gazed out with a sad pensive expression. Superimposed behind the image was a close-up of her face and said expression) he gasped between breathless pants, "Who is that?"

The worker, a tall slender teenage girl with long hair and hazel eyes trimmed in thick black eyelashes, lifted a dark brow as if he should have known the answer already. "That's Raven. She's been famous all around the galaxy for a year."

Cyborg gaped. "Why haven't I heard of her, then?" he demanded. "There are pictures of her everywhere, but until a couple days ago no one ever mentioned her."

The girl shrugged. "She didn't want any pictures or news of her showing up in Jump City until at least a year after her first CD was released. Apparently she was one of those Titans. She's an amazing singer."

Cyborg felt slightly ill. At least I know there was nothing to worry about…she's perfectly happy without us. "Can I get any CDs?" he asked, wondering just how amazing a singer Raven was.

There again was that don't-you-know-anything expression. The girl pointed a long slender finger, and Cyborg turned to see three rows of massive shelves that were almost entirely empty. Only one was left.

"It has to be restocked every hour, even though the CDs all cost a minimum of twenty bucks," she informed him calmly.

"Fallen Angel is only here because all the songs are Evanescence songs, and some of them are sung with Amy Lee. You can buy it if you want. $49.95 because there are twenty-eight songs and six of them are music videos for DVD or computer."

Walking over, Cyborg picked up the CD case. Raven was standing on the cover, looking fairly similar to the way she had over a year before she left.

She was wearing what seemed to be a beautified version of an angel's gown—just black. The raven wings of her soul self stretched from her back, and everything about her was dark and ethereal. He could picture Evanescence's lead singer looking exactly like her, for he had seen several Evanescence CDs.

He smiled bitterly. Raven had loved Evanescence. She would be thrilled to sing with her. I guess she got everything she wanted—and here I was worried!

Going back to the counter, he pulled three twenty-dollar bills from his jeans pockets, staring at the cover as the girl counted out his change. He tucked it into his pockets without looking at it.

He started to leave, but stopped when his inhumanly (literally) keen hearing caught her words.

"You're a superhero," she said softly. "I'm sure you can get someone to give you a ticket to your girlfriend's concert. One of your friends might have one already."

Eyes wide, he spun around, but she was gone. Smiling suddenly, for what felt like the first time in years, he turned and left.
