Chapter 3: Risks… and switches
"Why do you read so much?" Robin asked a peaceful Raven as she sat on her bed with 'Through the Looking Glass'.
"Because the world in books are nice to escape from so I don't have to acknowledge the real world." Raven said.
"What's so bad about the real world?" Robin asked curious.
Raven looked up from her book and gave him a look that said 'You really have to ask?'
"Ok, so the world is pretty shitty, there are still plenty of good things." Robin said.
"Maybe for those of you who can express how you feel." Raven said sourly. She didn't mean for it to come out like that but she got sick of people talking about how great things were when she couldn't show how good things were without something blowing up or someone getting hurt just for her feeling a tiny emotion.
"Yea, but as long as they have your powers, you can feel." Robin pointed out.
"Yes, but while they have my powers, I have no way of protecting myself and we're stuck here until I get them back." Raven said. She paused and lowered her book. She turned around so she was facing him and crossed her legs. "Speaking of my powers, I think I should go and get them back at some point…maybe tomorrow night?"
"No way are you going back there. You saw what they did to you last time…plus you have no powers and someone else of the team could end up getting hurt badly or captured." Robin said turning to face her.
"I wasn't suggesting anyone came with me…only I would go and it wouldn't really matter if I got caught." Raven said.
"Yes it would matter if you got caught. You're not going Raven and that's the end of it." Robin said.
"Fine. You never were one to take a risk." Raven said before getting up and walking over to the door.
Robin sprang up and put his hand on the door so that Raven couldn't open it. "Robin, move your hand. I'm going down to the kitchen to get a drink." Raven said. "Robin…MOVE IT!" She said. He didn't move it.
She tried opening the door but it was no use. Without her powers, she was weak and useless. "What do you mean I never take risks?" Robin asked.
"You just never do. You're too scared something might go wrong." Raven said.
"I took a risk rescuing you earlier today." Robin said.
"Not really. It wasn't a very big risk." Raven said.
She tried walking away and going back to sit on her bed but Robin slammed his hand on the wall preventing her from passing. "If you're not going to let me go and get a drink then I would at least like to go and sit on my bed." Raven said.
Robin pressed his body against her, forcing her against the wall. They were inches apart. Raven could feel his warm breath tickling her face. Robin could feel her chest moving faster as her heart began to beat faster. "This taking a risk to you?" He asked in a seductive voice. "Someone could walk in at any moment. We could be caught like this and I could risk loosing Starfire and the trust of the rest of the team."
Their faces were slowly inching closer; their lips were almost touching. They were about to kiss when a knocking on the door startled them. Robin breathed heavily before pushing himself off Raven using the wall. Raven still shocked by Robin's outburst, slowly walked over to her bed and sat down on it.
Robin walked over to the door and opened it to see Starfire smiling at him. "Our meal is ready and I volunteered to come and fetch both of you." She said, her smile not faltering once.
"Ok. Thanks Star. Come on Rae." Robin said.
"Uh, I'm not very hungry. I think I'll skip dinner." Raven said not meeting the Boy Wonder's gaze.
"You have to eat something."
"Like I said…I'm not hungry." Robin and Starfire left. Robin gave Raven a challenging look before shutting the door behind him.
Raven let out a deep breath, one that had been trying to escape. They had almost kissed. They were millimetres away. Their lips had been lightly touching. She shook her head…we were just been caught up in the moment…nothing happened and nothing and nothing ever will Raven!
Raven decided to meditate…her emotions were stirring in Nevermore. Raven entered her mind and saw all of her emotions gathered around her. "Omg! He almost kissed us!" Happy Raven started to jump up and down and squeal in delight.
"Almost…it may have just been the confined space and the heat of the moment so we must not get our hopes up!" Knowledge said.
"Look I don't know what you are all going on about. I don't like Robin in that way." Raven said to her emotions.
"No point in trying to hide it around here. We are you so we know what you feel!" Knowledge said.
"But I…" Raven trailed off.
"What is it?" Bravery asked.
"Something's in here that shouldn't be." Raven said.
"You mean me?" Raven turned around to see Raven2 standing right behind her.
"What are you doing here! Get out of my head!" Raven said angrily.
"Oh no…I don't think that will be happening any time soon. You see, I'm on a mission here and I don't intend to be leaving." Raven2 smirked.
"What mission! To find out my weakness. Well you've already done that!" Raven hissed at her alter ego.
"Htaraza noirtem sohtniz." Raven2 called out. Raven's entity and Raven2's both soared into the air. Raven2's had a strange red outline obviously signalling the evil that lay inside her. The birds flew into their opposite's bodies. Raven2 gasped. She looked down at the body she now possessed and smiled. "It worked."
Raven looked down at her body to see that it was now dressed in the revealing uniform Raven2 had donned. "What have you done to me!" Raven screamed at her.
"Simple…I've switched bodies with you." Raven2 said putting the evil grin across Raven's face.
All of Raven's emotions turned into the small birds with glowing red eyes that greet you when you enter Nevermore. "Now if you don't mind…GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Raven2 yelled at Raven and forced her out of the door which takes you out of Nevermore, with black energy. "How I remember all those dear times I used to spend here battling with my father." Raven2 said putting her hands on her hips. One of the birds flew onto her shoulder.
Raven landed with a thump on the floor of hers and Robin's bedroom. She got up quickly as she heard Robin and Starfire's voices outside the door, saying goodnight to each other. "I've got to get out of here. They can't see me like this!" Raven muttered to her self. She phased through the ground just as Robin entered the room. "Wonder where Raven is?" He asked himself.
Raven came to the surface of the street road. It was dark outside and no streetlamps were there to help light up the streets. Where could she go? She stood there pondering the thought when something grabbed hold of her and pushed her against a wall. "Hello there Raven."
"Get your filthy hands off me!" She said trying to get free of his grasp.
"Why would I be wanting to do that? You need to come home…to your new home." Robin2 said.
Raven2 cast the spell to give her back her powers. "God I feel so weak. She really hasn't learnt the full extent of her powers yet." She walked through the passage out and landed on the bed. She looked around and smiled at what she had achieved. She saw Robin sleeping on the bed on the other side of the room. This is gonna be fun She said before lying down on her bed with an evil smirk spread wide across her face before falling asleep.
