Beast Boy held out his hand and helped Raven up. Being very weak, she fell to the couch. For a moment, she wasn't sure what to do.

"Raven? You are alright I hope?"Starfire asked softly. Starfire! That was it, she had seen it too. With no explanation whatsoever, Raven forced herself to stand, concentrated her emotions, and brought her huge black claw from the ground(authors note:you know, the one she always uses, wasnt exactly sure how to describe it...)The claw grabbed her and Starfire. In the darkness, Star watched Raven's eyes, the only thing she could see in the darkness.

"Star, you have to understand that I don't want to do this, but I have to," whispered Raven's low, now almost hoarse, voice. Starfire felt a blackness engulf her that she could hardly comprehend. Cold, silnce, and unbearable dark. She wanted so much to scream, but couldn't seem to find her voice. Raven struggled to keep her powers from becoming dangerous, but strong enough to bring the memory back. She couldn't keep it steady for long, so the black shapes quickly dissapeared. Raven landed and stumbled back onto the couch again, but Starfire made no effort at all to stand. She let herself fall to her knees and looked up at Raven. The dark girl just nodded, the others stared. Robin reached out to lay a hand on her shoulder, but seeing him, she drew back.

"Star, what's wrong," he asked quietly. In the air of the tower, the others knew that he feared her answer, and so did they.

"We saw his face," they could hardly hear her whisper, "Raven used her power to removed Slade's mask." Robin started twitching with a look that he might hurt her if she didn't tell.

"Who was it?" BB asked. Robin didn't trust himself to speak.

"It was-" they all leaned in closer, "it was Robin. Well, it looked like Robin, except older." There was silence, no one seemed even to be breathing. Robin's knees became weak and he had to regain his balance with the arm of the couch. He buried his face in his hands.

"Robin, what is wrong? You were not Slade too, were you?" Starfire whispered, slowly levitating off the ground so her feet were a few inches from the ground.

"Not me, but-why didn't I see this before!" He turned to leave, to lock himself away withall of his Slade information and spend hours making it all make sense. As he opened the door, the handle turned black and pulled it shut again. Raven stood still, walking over to him would rob her of the little energy she had. Even now she held BB's arm to keep herself upright.

"What didn't you see? You can't hide all this from us again!" BB spoke the words that Raven whispered to him. She couldn't seem to make her voice cooperate with her, she knew there was no way she could be heard across the room.

"I know, I just need some time to make sure first, just give me some time to make everything fit together."

"Robin please-" but Starfire's begs were interupted. Raven had had enough. She hovered a few inches from the ground and her eyes glowed black. "She reached out with a black claw and grabbed him by the fron t of his uniform.

Tell us, no more secrets, not about Slade." Her voice was deep. Robin tried to escape the clutches of her magic, but couldn't.

"I can't!" Blackness seeped around him, crawling up him slowly. He struggled harder as a swirling black hole formed above his head. Starfire screamed, the others stared in horror.

"Raven stop!" Beast Boy yelled, trying to grab her arm, but she rose further off the ground. She raised him closer and closer to the dark abyss, he could feel it pulling at him.

"He-he-he's my brother! My older brother!" There was silence as they stared at him. The dark shapes dissapeared as Raven fell to the ground. She landed on her feet, but couldn't keep her balance. She stumbled backwards. BB moved to catch her, but he was too slow. She feel backwards out the window and plummeted toward the island.

Bwahahahahahahaha, cliff hanger! Review, and I shall consider making another chapter. just kidding, i guess ill make another chapter anyway. what do you think of Slade, yes, no? it was gonna be his father, but my friend thought that would sound too Star Wars, so i changed it. for the better? or not? if not, i might change it back, but you must tell me these things
