What Happened?
"Dude! Why'd you stop me? You said yourself that we needed to find out what happened" Beast Boy demanded as soon as Robin entered their mutilated living room. The rest of the Titans had stopped picking up debris and looked at their leader and the changeling.
"She just woke up and needs time to relax and heal herself" Robin replied looking BB squarely in the eyes. "The last thing anyone would want is someone pestering them for answers when they just woke up from serious injuries and being in a coma. Let Raven talk when she's ready."
"Just drop it B" Cyborg advised him.
BB looked reluctant to release the topic but mumbled"Fine."
"Good. Right now we have to get this place cleaned up."
Raven rubbed her eyes as she sat up in her bed. Her body still throbbed and ached but at least not as much as the day before. Besides, she was used to having pain worse than this anyways. After showering she changed into a clean costume and checked her reflection. Except for the fact that she was paler than usual and had a cut across her cheek the damage from the incident was mostly covered by her costume. The last thing she wanted the Titans to do was pity her because she was wounded. Yet she also noted that the cut on her face had hardly even begun to heal which meant that her energy reserves must still be depleted.
She knew that she didn't have enough energy to materialize or even float to the kitchen and so instead she pulled up her hood and took the long way: walking.
By the time she got to the kitchen the other Titans were already assembled around a makeshift table. Raven was taken aback by the state of the room. She hadn't expected that everything would be... obliterated.
"Morning, Raven" Robin said as though everything was as it normally should be.
"Morning" Raven replied in a low mumble.
"Good morning friend" Starfire beamed. "Are you feeling better this morning"
"Yes."
"We ordered breakfast out today and we got you some herbal tea" Cyborg said putting a large bag of bagels in front of her.
"Thanks" she said as she grabbed the herbal tea and a bagel and sat down at the table. There was a pause in which no one said anything but ate their food. "I did all this." Raven said quietly.
"Don't worry about it" Robin told her. "Bruce said he'd have this place fixed up for us as a present for keeping Jump City safe."
"Oh."
"I can't wait! A whole new set of computers and videogame systems just waiting for me" Cyborg said excitedly.
"Yup, and we even get a whole new movie corner!" BB exclaimed as he ate his tofu causing bits of it to go flying everywhere.
Raven knew they were trying to cheer her up but didn't feel much better. Instead she pushed her plate away and stood up. "I need to meditate," she told them as she got up and then exited the room. Raven made her way back to her sanctuary. Wishing that she had just skipped breakfast, but knew that if she had the rest of the Titans would pester her all day about her well being, and that was the last thing she wanted.
Raven stepped into her room closing the door securely behind her and sealed her room with a magic spell so no one could get in. Then she sat in the middle of the room, legs crossed, breathing even, and looked into the mirror that held the portal into her mind. Raven closed her eyes and when she opened them she was in Nevermore with Intelligence standing in front of her.
"What happened?" Raven demanded.
Intelligence stepped forward and answered. "Your emotions got out of control due to the loosing of certain memories."
"Tell me something I don't know," Raven snapped. "Like how did they get loose and where are those memories now? Those memories couldn't have just leaked out."
"I know. As for where your memories are now they are sealed back in your spell. However, I'm not exactly sure how they were released. Obviously none of us could have gotten to them. Only you know the way to disable that warding spell. Instead, I believe an outside force triggered the loosening of your memories," answered Intelligence a matter-of-factly.
"An outside force?" Raven asked, alarmed.
"Yes. It was quite strange actually," Intelligence told her as she led Raven to her memory banks. "While you were in your comatose state I knew you would want an explanation so I checked your memory banks."
"And what did you find?" Raven asked monotonously.
"I believe it was triggered by a scream," Intelligence told her.
"Impossible," Raven said. "I didn't hear a scream and no one was in the tower with me."
"That's because the scream was telepathically communicated with a lot of force."
"But I still should have heard it."
"True," Intelligence agreed. "But at the exact same moment as the scream began those memories escaped and so you were probably too overwhelmed by that to even recognize the scream."
"Have you identified the sender?" Raven asked quietly.
"No," Intelligence said uneasily. "Your mind is only able to record what you see and hear in the physical world, not what is mentally thought."
Raven stood in silence for a few moments before addressing Intelligence once more. "Keep up the investigation and see if you are able to identify the sender."
Intelligence nodded and Raven materialized back into her room panting for breath. The trip to and from Nevcrmore had taken more out of her than she had thought it would, and so she plopped onto her bed. As she stared up at the ceiling she couldn't help but wonder who the sender had been to release those memories that she had so carefully locked away.
