"This can't be happening!" Raven exclaimed, feeling a headache coming on. It had been only minutes since she almost dismembered her friend, she had fled to her room in sheer terror. Terror of what she had done, and what her friends would do.
She grasped her head in pain as she felt her emotions take over a nearby lamp on her desk. With the sharp sound of shattering glass Raven began to feel more weak by the second. She knew what she had to do but she was still hesitant about it. She needed to get away from her friends, not to protect herself, but to protect them from her. She felt as though she didn't have any other choice. Normally she never ran from her problems, the only time she had was to escape the wrath of her father.
"I have to go, to protect my friends." Raven said, reassuring herself. She began to walk towards the door eager to leave as soon as possible. A harsh knock from her door made her recoil into a dark corner.
The person on the other side of the door didn't wait to answer and opened the door. Of course, it was Robin.
"Raven, what happened?" Robin asked harshly, obviously questioning her about her episode with Beastboy.
"I don't know." Raven said immediately, still withdrawn in her corner.
"Well you have to, I need to know what happened." Robin said softer this time.
"Is Beastboy all right?" Raven asked, changing the subject.
"He's fine, just a bump on the head and a sore back." Robin replied, playing along to hopefully get back to the topic of her.
"I'm sorry, it was just…It was…I lost control." Raven replied weakly, grasping her head as she felt sorrow trying to escape.
"Are you all right?" Robin asked, taking a few steps towards her.
"I'm fine." Raven replied, throwing her hands forward to prevent Robin from coming any closer. He immediately halted and starred at her, longing to know why she was acting the way.
"Raven, I'm going to find out what's going an whether you tell me or not. So why don't you just tell me and save me the time and the trouble." Robin spoke with a tone so sincere that Raven almost told him all about her horrible past and her destiny…almost. Instead she just looked down at her feet, not knowing how to reply. "Fine." Robin sighed and headed towards her door. Suddenly he stopped and turned when he heard Raven's desperate voice.
"Wait!." Raven exclaimed. Robin's sincere tone had broken her down. She at least wanted to know why she was leaving, even if they didn't know. "I can't tell you much, you probably wouldn't understand unless you saw."
Robin turned and smiled. Even if she couldn't tell him much, some was better than none.
"Wait, that's it." Raven exclaimed in realization. She instantly went to her bookcase and began to sift through volumes of works.
"What's it?" Robin asked, eyeing her as she searched through her books.
"I can't tell you, but I can show you. With a spell I have." Raven clarified as she came back to him with a dust covered volume.
Robin gazed at the book, the title was in a different language as he guessed the rest of the book was, and as Raven held the book and flipped through the pages he saw it was filled with spells and incantations. "Are you sure about this?" Robin said, hesitation clearly expressed on his face.
Raven looked into his masked eyes. "It's the only way you could understand. She walked over to her alter filled with ceremonial items and withdrew two white candles and a vile of some unknown blue substance. She sat down cross-legged on her floor and motioned for the Boy Wonder to join her. He followed and, copying her motions, sat down cross-legged opposite her. She lit the two candles and placed them beside Robin and her, making a circle. She then uncorked the vile and poured the blue liquid on top of each flaming candle. In turn, the flame turned and eerie blue and released a equally eerie blue smoke which hazily filled the room.
Raven starred at Robin as her eyes turned white. A black lightning bolt appeared out of Raven's chakra jewel on her forehead and zapped straight into Robin's head. He tipped backwards and lay with his back on the ground witnessing Raven's past, present, and future as he drifted into unconsciousness.
Raven rose up from the ground. "Now's my chance." She said to herself as she turned to face the wall facing the city. Although she hated the idea of someone left alone in her room, she knew that Robin and her belongings would be safe. Enveloping herself in her dark energy, she exited her room, leaving her Titan's communicator next to Robin. She didn't know where she would go, but for her friends sake, anywhere was better than here.
