Chapter 16: Memories are the most powerful weapon.

Raven sat in her block room, alone and cold. There was no windows, no heating, just nothing. She wished she was back at Titans tower, in her own body, in her own room, in her own life. She wondered how Starfire was coping being stuck in her body. 'Probably loving the fact that she gets to be with Robin every day.' Raven thought. 'ROBIN!' She had forgotten about him. She wondered if he had noticed the differences and saw how different Starfire acted from herself. No doubt her voice would be higher than Raven's monotone voice. And no doubt, her word order would be obscure. She only hoped the Titans realised that it was someone else and not Raven before it was too late. SLAM! Slade slammed the door open making slight crumbs of the stone ceiling crumble off and hit the hard, cold floor. He walked right up to Raven's face and lifted her by the collar of her outfit so that she was mere inches away from Slade's mask. "Seems your little friends are a lot smarter than they let on." He spat at her.

"Only just figured that out?" She said cheekily back. The only way in which she would be able to not give Slade the pleasure of knowing she feared him, was to speak to him with as little respect as he gave to her.

"You better not have any little tricks up your sleeves or you're going to wish you never met me." He said.

"Well first off, I don't have any sleeves on this stupid uniform you make Starfire wear and second, you've used that line quite a lot on me." She said.

Slade brought his hand up to her face and hit her hard around the cheek. She winced from the pain. "Don't speak to me ever like that again!" He said in a dangerously low voice, Raven though being the stubborn chick she was not taking any orders from anyone retorted back with, "Or what, you gonna hit me again." He punched her in the stomach. He let go of her and she dropped to the ground clutching her stomach.

He bent down close to her and whispered in his deadly tone again, "I'll do much worse than hit you my dear. You forget that I know all your secrets. I know your fears, your desires and so on, all of which have been fed to me by your dear father." Raven looked up at him and the mention of her father. "Forgot about your father didn't you. Well hopefully that's put you back in your place." Slade stood up and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut again.

Raven began to cough and splutter blood. The mention of her father hadn't scared her, only given her hope. If Starfire and Raven had basically switched lives around, then Raven was sure that Starfire would soon be receiving the nightmares and visions that Raven had been getting of her father. That would make Starfire weak. Raven knew the alien girl would not be able to cope with them. Raven's twisted smile appeared on the alien girl's face. She began to cough again though but the smile still remained on her face. Blood was splattered on the orange toned skin but Raven did not care. The bleeding inside would soon subside.

Starfire sat on Raven's bed. 'Raven and my sister are very alike. They both like to live in dark places. They both like to destroy people's lives. They both like to steal things from other people. And most of all, they are both evil!' Starfire thought to herself. KNOCK. KNOCK. Starfire was stirred from her thoughts and drifted over to the door. Robin was stood there. "Hey Raven."

"Yes, hello Robin. How may I help you?" Starfire replied.

"Uh, I was just wondering if we could finish the conversation that we were having the other day." Starfire's face looked confused. "You know the one about your planet and stuff. It's just you promised we would and all." Robin said. There was a plan behind this to see if there were things that only Raven knew were said. If not then they knew there was an impostor.

"So what would you like to know about my past?" Starfire asked.

"Well, we got up to the part where your father was summoned by your mother." Robin said sitting opposite Starfire.

"Well yes, well he was summoned and then he and my mother fell in love." Starfire said hesitantly.

"I thought you said that he kidnapped your mother, forced her to marry him and then raped her." Robin said.

"Oh yes. I was simply thinking off a story I have read. Yes a story. Well anyway, he raped her and then I was born. My mother and father stayed together for my sake. When I was 13, I decided to come to earth to learn the earthly ways and there. Now we are here. That is the end of my story." Starfire smiled. Robin put on a fake smile, knowing full well that wasn't Raven's past as she had already told him it. Slade slammed his fist on the desk in front of him from where he was watching Starfire's every move. "Stupid alien girl! I can't send her to do anything right!" Slade said hissing.

"I'll see you at dinner. I need to go and train." Robin said quickly getting up. He gave Starfire a quick peck on the cheek, not wanting to stay with her for too long, then rushed off down to the main room. Starfire remained in Raven's room and decided to have a shower before dinner.

"Bumblebee, I need you to take Starfire out somewhere." Robin said quickly after assembling everyone around.

"What? So it is Starfire! I KNEW IT!" Beast Boy screamed.

"Shut up!" Cyborg said hitting him on the head. Beast Boy changed into a mouse so that he couldn't make anymore-loud noises.

"Sure but where should I take her?" Bumblebee asked.

"I don't know. Take her shopping." Bumblebee winced at the mention of doing something so annoying. It was no wonder that Raven and Bumblebee had bonded so well.

"What are we gonna do though?" Cyborg asked Robin.

"We're gonna look through Raven's books, see if there's any kind of spell which can change them back." Robin said. Cyborg and Beast Boy nodded. Bumblebee went off to Raven's room. She knocked and Starfire opened the door wearing a towel wrapped around her and her hair hanging above her shoulders, dripping with water. "Hey Rae. Do you wanna go to the mall with me?" Bumblebee said flinching at the thought of her asking this.

"Yes! I would love to! I must just get ready." Starfire said before disappearing and reappearing in a pair of Raven's black cords, a purple top and some boots. They went off and left the tower, Bumblebee showing anger as she left the tower door. Cyborg blew a kiss at her. She smiled and shut the door. As soon as they saw them take flight, the boys rushed up to Raven's room and began to look through her spell books.

"I found one!" Beast Boy screamed after 2 hours of searching. "We can't do it until the end of the month though. Wait, that's tomorrow. We can do it tomorrow night."

Robin and Cyborg nodded. They quickly put all the books back on the shelf and hurried down to the main room.

Raven laid her head down on the concrete surface. She curled up into a ball and fell asleep. She dreamed of her vision. Except she wasn't acting it out like she usually was. Instead she was looking upon it. It must have been because of her mind still being there but not her body.

Starfire meanwhile on the opposite side of town was experiencing the full vision. It acted out just as Raven had had to act it out every night, every time she closed her eyes. She sat up in the bed sweat dripping from her forehead. Starfire fell back down and tried shutting her eyes again. The vision simply acted out again. The alien girl sat back up in bed and wrapped the covers around her. She began to rock back and forth, as an insane person at an insane asylum would, her eyes wide from fear. She reached over to the drawer in which her communicator for Slade was being kept and flipped the top open. "Master Slade, I do not wish to fore take in this any longer." Starfire trembled at him words that he said next.

"You will foolish girl. We have come to far to ruin it now. If you ruin this for me then I will make your life the living hell." The communicator beeped off and Starfire retuned to her state that she was in mere seconds ago.

The following day Starfire avoided the rest of the titans, which they were glad of. That night they all grouped on the roof while Starfire was in her room.

"Everyone ready?" Robin asked.

They all nodded in unison. "Let's get started then. Beast Boy." Beast Boy stepped forward and began to speak from the book. It was written in French.

L'esprit et l'âme ne sont pas à sa place, Vous pas anot à à la maison. Se retourner à la maison. Vivre votre

vie, pas quelqu'un d'autre.

Mind and soul are not in place,

You not are not at home.

Return home.

Live your life, not someone else's.

Robin stepped forward with one of Starfire's belongings and another belonging to Raven. He dropped them on to the book where Beast Boy slammed it shut, crushing the two belongings. They waited patiently. "LOOK!" Cyborg said, pointing to the sky. Speeding its way towards them was purple entity. Then the door burst open where yellow entity appeared. They hit each other then speeded off again. The purple one darted down the titan's hallway, through Raven's door and into her body. Raven's eyes shot open and she gasped for air. The titans followed the purple entity down to Raven's room. Robin kicked the door open to see Raven as herself sitting upright on the bed gasping for air. "Raven?" He asked. "I'm back." She said heavily. Robin ran over to her side and pulled her into a tight hug. She closed her eyes at his touch. She was back. She was home. She was safe.

The yellow entity darted through the alleyways in the city. It sped into a building and through a concrete door and into the body of Starfire. The door slammed open to reveal a furious Slade. "STARFIRE?" He roared.

"I am here. But how?" Starfire said. Slade stormed over to her and hit her hard around the face, knocking her to the floor. She began to cry. "I'll think of ways in which I will deal with you later." He stormed back out of the room, leaving a crying Starfire.

Slade raged his way down the passageways. "We'll just have to go to plan B!" He flipped open his communicator. "Master, send forth Plan B. she has failed us." He flipped it back down and stormed off, his anger calming slightly as he prepared for their attack.

Enjoy it? well thats it for now. until next time
