"Raven! Raven, wake up!" She sat bolt upright. Cold sweat dripped down her face, her fingers still burned from holding the rock. Her friends stood around her bed, looking very concerned.

"Friend Raven, you are alright?" Starfire asked, all but hiding behind Robin.

"How? The cliff, the lava, Slade-"

"Slade! What do you knowabout him?"

"Robin, calm down," Cyborg said, placing his hand firmly on Robin's shoulder to keep him from jumpnig onto Raven's bed.

"You mean, you don't know anything about him? Not about Red-X or-or T-t-terra, or anything?" A tear streamed down her cheek causing a few books to fly from their shelves. They just stared at her.

"All we know is that he has connections with the Hive, That he sent Jynx, Mammoth, and Gizmo. We just found out about him yesterday," Beast Boy explained quietly, sitting next to her, wiping the tear from her face, and then placing his hand lightly on her shoulder as she buried her face in her hands. She felt the roughness of her cuts against her cheeks.

"How did it not happen? I know it was real, I-"

"It seems as though it was just a...dream," Starfire suggested, interupting, almost scared, with tears in her eyes.

"It wasn't, i-i-it can't be. The pain, Slade, an-and Robin, but, Terra, none ofit happened? But it did, look at my hand!" She held out the hand that had suspended her and Starfire above the lava. BB jumped up off the bed in shock. There were cuts on her fingers and palm, the tips of her fingers were rubbed raw and scabbed. The Titans stared at her in amazement.

"How...from a dream?" BB muttered, wondering out loud.

"It wasn't a dream! I'm telling you, it's all real!" She clenched her fists in anger, shooting pain up her arm. Her pillow flew into the air and was torn to shreds, flinging feathers everywhere. "It's real, I was there, I saw it, I felt it!"

"Dude, I think Raven's finally snapped..." BB muttered to Cyborg.

"I'M NOT CRAZY! I SWEAR, IT WAS ALL REAL!" Raven shouted. A bookend from her shelf shot acroos the room and smashed against the opposite wall. Her window exploded, showering them all with bits of broken glass.

"Rae, calm down. Don't get mad at us, we just don't understand," Cyborg said.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand either"

"Perhaps what Raven describes is not a dream, but a vision," Starfire suggested, "The wisest of Tamaranians will sometimes fall into deep sleeps in which they see predictions of the future, sometimes they even have wounds from the happenings of the vision, like Raven does." Her voice faded as she was met with silence.

"WAit, your planet, Blackfire. Starfire, you have a sister right? An older sister?" Raven asked, raising her eys slightly.

"Yes I do." RAven wrapped her arms around her knees, shaking her head. "I try not to speak of her much, you see, she is not very kind. But you see, she is not like most Tamaranians, she has black hair, and her starbolts-"

"Are purple, not green," RAven whispered, and began to shake. Starfire sat down next to her, wrapping her arm around her friend's shivering shoulders. Raven leaned her head against Star's shoulder and began to sob, tears slipping down her pale face.

"I'm sorry Star, for letting you fall, for not holding on." Though she had no idea what her dark friend was talking about, she stroked Raven's hair.

"It is alright. Shhhhhhhh, calm down," Star whispered. Raven only sobbed harder, tears flowing freely from her amythest eyes. A statue in the corner melted and the books on the floor turned to dust
