Dark Thought

My name is Raven. I made a choice to work for a man called Slade. In return for working for him, he gave me the one thing I'd always wanted. He gave me control. The control I needed for my powers. I am going to do terrible things. I will hurt people and I will destroy many lives. I will do this all for control.

But I have the one thing that a person who does evil, shouldn't have. I have a conscience. My heart is heavy with guilt for the thought of hurting innocent people. My mind is tortured with confusion. It's rattled with riddles and question that should be easy to answer, but aren't.

I watch have watched the videos of the Teen Titans, and seen what they do. I've seen the people who are grateful to them, and who except them no matter what their differences are. The question is could they accept me even if I worked for Slade, or would they reject me because of it.

I want to be one of those people who do something without having so much guilt inside of them. The only problem is that I made a decision to do evil. I made the decision to hurt those who do not deserve it. I have also hurt the ones who tried to help me and who do what's right.

I must find a way to fix the wrong that I have done. I must find a way out of Slade's control, even if it means losing mine. I must and will do what is right, no matter the cost. For I know that I could not live with the wrong that I would do to this city. Even if it meant death is involved. Better to go down without the death of others on my shoulders, than with it on it.

I look up at Slade and gave him a nod, then walked out for the battle that was soon to come. In the end I hope that it would be for the good of this city and the world. I also hope that by doing this, my sins would be lifted and hope for a better life would come from it.

I came to the place where I would start my battle. While waiting for Slade, I formed a quick plan in my mind. Slade came in and stood by me. He then lifted an item that looked like a remote control with a variety of colored buttons. Pushing the blue one, we lifted up into the city, smoke rising around us.

We came out of the ground, and I looked at the people near us. They had all stopped what they were doing, and stared at us while we were rising. Next Slade pushed another button that was red this time, which released three of his strongest henchmen. Cinderblock, Plasmas, and Overload came out around us.

Knowing some of their weaknesses, gave me a little bit of the upper hand. The one person, who would give me the hardest time, was Slade. He seemed the most complicated person, for I had yet to learn of his weakness. I prayed the Titans would come soon, for I would definitely need their help.

Time was running out, for soon I am about to go into the toughest battle of my life. I looked at Slade, then the other three. I felt a small twinge of fear start to rise through my body. My heart soon started to gain acceleration, and my breath became short. Truth be told, I was worried about the fight, and what would come after it.

Slade turned to me and said, "It is time Raven, to prove your power to the world and to me. Go out there and destroy anything that moves!"

I nodded and checked to make sure my hood was up and then I flew into the sky. Ready for the future and what was to come of it.
