A large figure trudged into the room, its arms raised to its face in a feeble attempt to rub the sleep out of its eyes. As Cyborg looked around, he noticed the two teenagers sitting and meditating underneath the massive window.

"When did you guys wake up?" Cyborg asked. Mark's peace was shattered at the sound of Cyborg's booming voice and he returned to reality, opening his eyes quickly and standing up. His cheeks turned crimson as he checked his watch to reply.

"Uh, about..." He glanced at the time "two hours ago..." He said, almost as shocked as Cyborg.

"You guys were up at 6.30? damn..." He shrugged his massive shoulders and went to make some breakfast. Raven stood up slowly, and looked at Mark with her azure eyes.

"Well, that was...nice." She said shyly.

Mark averted his gaze, his black school shoes suddenly seemed terribly interesting. "Yeah, I enjoyed it. I think it really helped me. We should do it again... perhaps."

Raven gave a slight smile. It was hardly noticeable, but it was there, and it literally made Mark's day. His heart nearly burst out of his ribcage, pounding desperately against its bony prison.

"Yeah, we should." With that, Raven left for the solace of her bedroom.

"I can see you and Rae are gettin' close, but just be careful. She has been hurt before, and she doesn't trust anyone easily. You guys are so alike it's creepy, maybe that's why she has opened up to you so freely." Cyborg said, with one eye on the eggs he was preparing and the other on Mark.

Mark merely looked at him and nodded. He understood what it was like.

The morning passed without incident, which was a first for the Teen Titans. Perhaps Crow simply scared Slade. But that seems unlikely, as Slade doesn't scare easy, according to the Titans. He was planning something.

"You think they're your friends...you have nothing."

"You are pathetic, you will lose. Your power will overcome you and consume you."

Don't say that...

"He is NOTHING LIKE YOU!" It was that voice...

With a strained cough, Raven opened her eyes. Fire engulfed her vision, Blue Fire. It surrounded her, consuming her room with ferocity and relentless aggression. The fire was whipped into frenzy, a maelstrom of cataclysmic heat and destruction. Blue flames crept up the walls, peeling the paint upon it and ravaging her bookshelves filled with tomes of knowledge, her only solace. "No!" Was all she managed to say before smoke mingled with precious oxygen filled her lungs. Her hands shot up and grabbed her throat, desperately trying to ease the pain of every breath she took.

"Stop it! Get out of my HEAD!" She yelled as she shut her eyes desperately, attempting to extinguish the fire that raged in her mind.

There was no more sound, no more thick smoke restricting her access to oxygen, and no more heat melting her walls and burning her books. She opened her eyes slowly, and the flames were no more. It was dead quiet once again, just the way she enjoyed it most. Nothing was burnt; no damage had been done to her room. There was nothing that hinted to the fact that her room, and quite possibly the whole Tower, was up in flames just moments ago.

"Do you see what he will do? He will destroy you, and your friends. You are powerless to change his future." No… He won't do that… He's a friend now, a Titan.

"Terra was a Titan too. What did she do, Raven? What?" Terra was… She was… misguided. Mark is different.

"Ha! Listen to what you are saying! Do you really believe that?"

Did she?

Raven stood up and shook her head, her dark purple hair pulsating to the direction of her displacement, in an attempt to clear her thoughts of these visions. She walked to her door, her feet lightly striking the carpeted floor of her room. She placed her palm on the lock, and with a final glance around her room unlocked it. She stepped outside and proceeded to check the time, but the shrill cry of warning bells erupted around her and engulfed the rest of the Tower.
