NOTE: Some people were guessing that the reason Raven had collapsed was becuase of her new powers. Actually (im sooo sorry i hadnt written it clear enough) she collapsed because that week (since it was her mother's aniversey or her death) she hadnt been getting sleep at all, as well as eating any food. And by not getting sleep and nutrients, its possible that you may collapse out of lack of energy. Sorry again for making that unclear! Forgive me!
Raven had woken up without any change of a normal day. Though this time everyone was beginning to act like their normal selves. Crow would come out of his room more often. Flacon's pranks were taking affect, Raven was eating and sleeping with ease again, and Dove's happy laughter filled the house with energy.
As Raven was walking to the front entrance of her school, she noticed Richard's group sitting on the stoop, though there was no Richard. She looked more into the group to see Kory and Terra talking and Victor was arm wrestling Garfield, while others were just sitting. But no Richard.
That gave her a little hope into thinking he might be sick and not come to school today. That usually never happened, but it was worth the hope.
Raven looked back at the group to see Kory and Garfield waving vigorously at her. She cocked an eyebrow and slowly waved back, walking into the high school.
Raven walked to her locker and opened it, dumping her usual books and contents into it.
Shutting her locker she let out a squeal dropping her books all over the floor. Richard was standing behind the door of the locker, and his view was visible when she shut it.
"Jeez, Richard, what do you want?" Raven bent down to pick up her books.
He stepped forward, invading her personal bubble. "Nothin', just wanted to say hey." He smirked.
Raven rolled her eyes and stood back up, noticing how close they were when she did.
"Whatever, now get out of my line of view." She demanded harshly and side stepped him before she strode to her classroom.
Richard chuckled and turned around to follow her.
But when he turned around, Raven was right in front of him, staring at him with a determined look on her face.
"No." She said with a stern voice. "Richard, I've had enough of you bullying. Stop it. Now that you know who my brother is, you'll finally listen to me."
Richard stared at her wide-eyed.
Raven glared for another second or two and turned around, stomping to her next class.
Richard stuffed his hands in his pockets and went to meet his group.
Raven came to lunch a little late today; as it was the only time she could drop off some books at the library.
She walked over to her usual table to see Garfield banging his head against the table; his tray already pushed aside.
Raven sat next to him and watched as he lifted his head to bang it against the table again, but she grabbed his nape before he did.
Garfield let out a yelp of surprise, "Oh, Raven, it's just you." He sighed in relief.
"Why, what'd you do this time?" Raven asked taking out her bag of chips.
"I…sorta...kinda…threw all my meat at the principal." Garfield laid his head on the table looking stressed.
Raven looked at him skeptically, "And does he know this?"
Garfield blinked, "Well... no."
"Then what's the matter?"
"If I get in trouble one more time my aunt is seriously going to kill me!" Garfield yelled.
Raven rolled her eyes.
"Oh, hello friends!" Garfield and Raven heard from behind them.
They turned to see Kory behind them, a huge bowl of something in her hands.
"What's that, Kor?" Garfield asked.
"Oh, it is the traditional pudding from my country to celebrate the becoming of friends that I have told Raven about yesterday."
Kory plopped the bowl in front of Raven and Garfield and took a seat next to Raven.
Raven and Garfield regarded the pudding closely, it wasn't moving. In fact, it was sort of crusty looking. Usually when pudding or jello was 'plopped', it at least jiggled. But no, this one was special.
Kory took the clear lid off, "Please, try some!"
Raven and Garfield exchanged placid looks and grabbed a spoon. They've eaten worse.
The 2 groups had one more day to finish their project; it was due the next. After school, the 2 groups decided to meet at the science lab. Victor's group was now only a little ahead of Richard's, Kory's questions were getting harder to explain.
"Alright Gar, just add chemical no.45 to the solution from no.56 and vitamin e. You think you could do that?" Raven asked without looking up from her math homework. "Good, because I have to use the restroom." Raven left without even waiting for an answer.
Garfield eyed the colorful liquids in front of him. It would be so much easier if he actually knew which chemical was which… Darting his eyes between each chemical, Richard saw his uneasiness.
"Hey Logan, green plus purple." Richard smirked. He didn't know why, but since a few days ago, Richard has been noticing Raven more often. He loved science, well, the class anyway, because it gave him a good reason to study her. Not study her like he was in love with her, but really study with her. Richard had forgotten the amazing yet natural color of her eyes. How pale her skin really was, and even the way her stoic face seemed to lighten up slightly when she would talk. In this case, she would be talking about science. While Richard was 'studying', it seemed her words actually got into his head and stuck, thus teaching him what he needed to know about the science project they were working on.
Garfield looked from Richard to the chemicals. Sure enough, there was the purple and green sitting right in front of him.
With a sheepish look on his face, he thanked Richard.
"Ugh..." Terra banged her head against her Current Events book.
Kory was asking more questions, and they weren't getting anywhere since it was Kory's turn to do the project.
"Please, why would it affect the solution if I added this chemical?" Kory pondered aloud.
"Kory, please! No more questions. You're hurtin' my brain, man." Victor sighed and held his head in his hands.
Kory looked from Victor to Terra and pouted; yet following her directions silently.
The group watched as the chemical she added turned into a summer sky blue.
"Oh! That is most interesting. It reminds me much of Richard's eyes!" Kory gushed.
Without hesitation Kory grabbed the vile of the new azure chemical and turned around, jogging over to Richard's table.
Raven had returned fast enough to see the reaction of the chemicals Garfield combined turning a light hue of yellow.
Garfield drooped down to eye level of the liquid in the vile, letting out a sigh of amazement.
"Isn't it weird how such dark colors can be added to make an even lighter color?" Garfield asked in amazement.
Richard looked at Raven, knowing she'd have the answer.
"Garfield, the reason that happens is because the reservoirs within the chemical color-" Raven started but was cut off with hand to her mouth.
"Don't. Just don't." Garfield sighed shaking his head no.
Raven narrowed her eyes at the feeling of his hand over her mouth. He quickly got the message and snapped his hand back.
As Raven was recovering from her encounter, Garfield lifted the chemical to eye level so he won't have an aching back the next morning. Richard turned his head to Kory's table as he heard her say his name.
Raven also heard the happy squeal and looked towards her with annoyed eyes. Garfield followed Raven's eyes until he was fully turned around.
"Kory-"
But it was too late.
Victor's POV
I heard Raven walk back into the room from wherever she went as Kory started to add the mixture together without a word, she was probably a little angry with Terra and I for not explaining. I just wanted to get this thing over with.
Our group watched the mixture turn a cool looking blue. Kory said it matched Richard's eyes perfectly, so she picked up the vile and jogged to Richard's table to compare.
I tried to stop her, to tell her to be careful but she was just one of those people who didn't hear anything once their head was filled with weird girly things ranging from fluffy pink stuffed animals to pretty skies.
"Its ok, enjoy the silence of stupid questions." Terra piped up from hitting her head against her book.
I looked towards her and chuckled nodding an agreement.
Right when we were in slight nirvana, we heard someone yell 'Kory' but was cut off at the sound of glass breaking.
I turned around to see Kory and Garfield facing each other, yet they were staring at the ground. Both of them had the same expression on their face, extreme shock.
Terra and I exchanged worried glances and walked towards the scene at the same time Raven and Richard briskly walked around the table.
The 6 of us were all staring at the two chemicals that had fallen to the ground.
The two chemicals amazingly didn't even mix yet, though they were slowly inching towards each other. It was weird to watch, because the logic of it was all wrong. The liquids shouldn't have been moving at all, unless the school itself was uneven. And even if it was, the liquids would be moving in one direction, not moving towards each other. I watched as they were still inching towards each other like magnets, only a few centimeters away from colliding. Glass remains scattered the floor, but no one was watching to see if they had stepped in any. I knew they were all wondering the same thing I was.
"I might just be uneducated or something, but are the liquids even allowed to do that?" Terra asked, breaking the tension.
"It's…its going against the laws of physics." Raven mumbled in total awe.
"You think maybe we're directly over some inch deep trench?" Garfield asked.
"We might, but even if we were it wouldn't take effect because of the evening of cement when they built this school." I answered.
"Did we not add chemicals worthy of being magnetic?" Kory asked, this time her question didn't seem so out of place.
"No. But…shouldn't we try and block their collision?" Richard wondered.
The group was quiet; no one had any idea, including me.
Normal POV
The group was still for the last second. None of them knew that this would be the last time they would be the same. All of their lives would be changed forever, never to return to their normal teenaged selves, and they didn't even know it yet.
Liquids collided, making each eye in it's small audience widen.
Everyone stepped back as the collision of these two chemicals created some sort of system to regenerate the liquid into quickly filtering the room's air into a fog-like area.
The clouds started to rise to the top, making the teens cough and choke from lack of clean oxygen.
Richard quickly grabbed a cloth from a drawer and covered his nose, starting to breathe in the oxygen coming from the cloth. Holding it to his nose with one hand, he grabbed a handful of cloths and crawled over to the other teens handing them one.
Once their lungs were filled with better air, they got the strength to open the windows and swat away the fog.
The group cautiously took off the rag from their face and watched the fog disperse as it floated to the sky.
"Is it... is it ok to breathe correctly?" Kory asked cautiously, turning towards Richard to see him nod.
The whole group let out the air they were holding in, thanking they were saved.
"Wow." Raven looked to Richard who was now cleaning off his pants from crawling on the floor. "Who knew our Richard was actually a quick thinker." She smirked.
Richard narrowed his eyes; "This is no time to be joking, Raven."
Raven widened her eyes with shock. 'He…he actually said my name without saying it like it was a curse. He said it…correctly.'
Her shock quickly disappeared as he began to bark out orders again.
"We'll just have to tell Mrs. O'Reily it spilled, nothing big. We should all go home and start tomorrow all over again. At least this time we know exactly what to do."
To Raven's astonishment, everyone nodded their head and followed him out the door.
Kory and Richard were walking home again, except this time it was in total silence.
Richard had to admit that Raven, though her way of wording was slightly ruder, was right. He was being a quick thinker, something that never happened to him.
He knew his thinking was quite delayed, as well as his reflexes being slow. But today his head snapped while his body sprang to action. Richard didn't even realize what he was doing until he felt that he could breathe clearly again.
Soon enough Kory's house appeared and he waved goodbye half-heartily. Though Kory did the same, they were both thinking about the concoction they inhaled a while before.
Kory started to feel a lot weaker after they left school, and even weaker when Richard and her were walking home. As she walked through the door, she got extremely dizzy, and just managed to stumble her way to her room.
Terra felt a little heavier than usual walking into her house. Not heavy as in, weight. Heavy as if she was holding a huge boulder on her shoulders.
She had managed to sneak into her house as usual. Let's just say she didn't have a wonderful relationship with her parents.
It was now getting late, and she grabbed some food to eat in her room. After the incident all she felt like doing was being lazy and lay on her bed all day.
"Oh, Austin Power's is on." Terra put her food down on her bed and turned off the lights for the full theatre affect.
Shutting the curtains, she took one last look at the setting sun. Her room had the perfect view of the sun when it would set in the afternoon over the mountains.
It was now perfectly dark and her food was ready.
Half way through the movie Terra totally forgot about her half eaten sandwich and on the edge of her bed.
"Wow, I LOVE this movie!" Terra giggled as a commercial came on.
Remembering her sandwich she turned around and grabbed it. As she bite into it, her muscles tightened immensely, making her drop her sandwich and grab at her neck.
Terra spit out the sandwich, but she was still choking. This wasn't making sense, usually once people spit out the food they were choking on everything would be ok. But she had already spit out the food, and was still choking to death.
Terra stood up slowly and staggered to the bathroom, falling every once in a while.
She barely made it to the bathroom before she collapsed onto the floor. Her muscles tightened even more and she could barely move. Closing her eyes tight in pain.
"What's...happening..." She breathed out.
Terra pushed herself to her hands and knees she opened her eyes to see yellow glowing light on the floor.
She looked around with difficulty for the source but couldn't see anything. The glowing yellow light increased from the corner of her eye.
Terra looked back down to see her hands glowing immensely. With sudden fear, pushing away the pain, she stood up quickly and looked in the mirror.
A piercing scream was let out as Terra stared at herself. Her eyes and hands were glowing a bright yellow lightening the room.
A sudden large bolt of light came from her glowing hands as she continued to scream and she felt her hands sling to the ground. It was as if her hands and the earth were magnets.
Once she summoned enough strength, she ripped her hands from the earth, the scream sounding more like Bloody Mary. Terra felt the ground begin to shake as an earthquake decided to occur. But she couldn't help but feel a connection with the earthquake, and felt as if she had started it herself.
"Yeah!" Garfield chuckled, shooting a fist into the air.
After school had let out and Crow dropped him off, he ran straight to check his email. It turns out that Garfield had sent in a couple of his jokes to a local comedy club. Surprisingly he got in and was to leave to the club in an hour.
He was now getting ready, giddy as ever. Garfield would chuckle and recite a line, then laugh at his own lame joke.
Tying the tie to his outfit, he grabbed his jacket.
A sudden pain filled heat ran over his body making him drop to his knees. But almost as quickly as it came, it disappeared.
Garfield freaked out a little, "What the hell was that?"
Shaking it off as nervousness her grabbed his jacket and slipped it on. As he checked to see how he looked a burning sensation stopped him in his tracks.
It was now only a sharp pain on his chin. Looking in the mirror he saw the skin on his chin start to bubble.
Garfield's eyes widened and felt the bubbling of his skin continue and spread throughout his whole entire body. A heating sensation following it a second later.
Garfield squirmed and fell to his knees ripping off his clothes and scratching at his skin. It felt as if it were stretching and shrinking one after another.
Drooping his head down towards the floor he grabbed the carpet under his hands and squeezed, waiting for the pain to subdue.
Clenching his eyes in agony it now felt as if his molars and nails on his hands and feet were being stretched all the way to China.
A climax of pain entered his body followed by tremendous heat as he stood on his knees, arched his back, threw his head back and flexed his clawed hands, letting out the loudest scream he could as he felt the earth shake from under him.
But instead of a piercing scream, the loudest roar of a lion came from the saber-toothed boy on the floor.
"Hello? Is anyone home?" Kory asked as she walked in through the door.
Nobody answered, and she was feeling awfully drowsy.
Kory ran up the stairs, accidentally stumbling on the last step but continued to her room.
Now she felt like she had absolutely no energy left and plopped onto her bed without even taking her shoes off.
Placing her hands under head for support she drifted off to sleep almost immediately.
A few hours passed without anyone waking her up. But Kory woke up with a start as she felt the ground shake slightly.
"That must be what they call… an earthquake." She mumbled to assure herself that everything was fine.
The ground shook again and she sat up.
As if sitting up was a cue, her body began to ache as if she had just ran from her home country to her room and back.
Kory looked towards her hands looking for the source for her burning which was now spreading from her fingertips to her knuckles.
"What is this?" She questioned loudly.
Trying to get out of bed to wash her hands with ice water she collapsed because of lack of energy and rolled on the floor, landing on her stomach.
One second later she heard the loud knocks from her door.
"KEEP QUIET IN THERE YOU TROQ, I'M TRYING TO DO MY HOMEWORK!" Her sister yelled.
Kory narrowed her eyes at the door. She was laying in agony on the floor and her sister didn't even have the decency to check to see if she had fallen! She even called her a name her sister had given her before they even moved here. 'TROQ' stood for 'The Ruler Of Queers.' Kory had a lot of guy friends from Holland before her family moved, and her sister made fun of her for it. Kory was always those kinda of people who would be more hurt by someone insulting her friends, than if the person insulted her. Her sister was always pushing her around and treating her like dirt.
Kory felt her eyes and hands light on fire, but it suddenly felt right. Instead of the burning she felt from her hands, they only felt warm. Her body didn't ache; in fact she felt completely restored.
Her eyes narrowed to tiny slits as she growled, "I truly hate you."
With the riotous fury burning within her heart, a sudden blinding green light shot from her narrowed eyes and hit her door.
Kory forgot all hate and widened her eyes, getting up from her position on the floor. She ran to the now scorched door and ran a hand over it, thanking her sister for leaving right after she yelled at her.
"What… has happened to me?" She asked totally mortified.
After Victor got home he ran downstairs to the basement and grabbed his toolbox, ready to get to work.
Victor's secret past time was working on his new car. It was almost done, but he needed tighten the door hinges.
It was a normal car, except for the fact that he had made it himself. Victor even painted it with different designs of his liking.
Ever since his parents started to show more affection for their eldest son, Victor began to work on his 'baby'.
Victor got giddy and laughed heartily, "I should be done soon!"
'What the hell?' Some screws on the car were beginning to come loose. What scared him was that they were doing it simultaneously.
Almost immediately after this realization a sharp pain indulged him, making his drop to the floor and squirm.
Victor screamed for help, forgetting that he had added a layer of soundproof wall to the basement so his family wouldn't be able to hear him.
The pain was so immense, his vision started to get blurry, and before he knew it he had passed out.
Two hours later he woke up as he felt the earth shake slightly. Though he wasn't alarmed, because it was California.
"Was it…was it all a dream?" He asked aloud rubbing his temple.
Victor hadn't opened his eyes yet, because he didn't notice until now the words 'BATTERY RECHARGED' blinking in his head.
Opening his eyes he looked around to see everything as if he were a security camera. To the side of his vision were blinking green lights with words underneath telling him he was alive.
Surprisingly, he knew all the codes he was looking at. Victor looked at a brown box and thought to zoom in on it.
Automatically, like a camera, his vision zoomed in on the box, reading the words on it and repeating it better in a computer within his mind.
Victor chuckled and shook his head. "I must be dreaming. I feel like I'm a person inside a robot."
He looked down at his body to see swirls of blue colored technology. Victor rubbed it against the cement floor, and sure enough, sparks flew from the friction.
"That's weird, that actually felt real." Victor stood up and turned around, letting out a girly scream.
"MY BABY!" His baby was no more. Parts were scattered everywhere and some of larger parts were just plain missing.
"Oh, this had better be a dream!" Victor gritted his teeth and clenched his robotic hands into a fist.
Something felt different. Victor felt more weight on one hand than the other when he closed his hands and gripped it into a fist.
He held up both of his hands and compared for difference.
On Victor's left robotic hand he saw a rather large ring that he noticed famous rappers wore. Examining it, he saw a small button in the middle o the design on the ring.
"Hmm…I wonder." Victor tried to press it but his metal finger was too large. Without thinking a small door opened at the tip of his finger and let out a pointed rod.
Victor eyed it for a second, then shrugged and used it. He was beginning to like this dream robotic body.
As he pressed the button another pain erupted in his stomach making him double over, but not collapse. It wasn't as rancid as the other transformation, and he could take it.
Clenching his teeth he watched as the metal on his body began to replace itself with skin in an organized and neat manner.
After what seemed to be a million years, which in reality was only two minutes, he was back to his original self.
Again, he compared both of his hands. They were made of skin and flexed like a normal human.
Victor examined the rest of his body, everything was normal. Looking towards his car he sighed to see it still in horrible ruins.
One thing he noticed didn't change was the expensive looking ring on his finger. Victor examined it over, though it was a little harder without the machines in his vision to help. The ring looked as if it were stuck to his skin.
Looking closer, he saw a drop of blood drip from the base of the ring, and a little scar surrounding the skin where the ring lay.
"This is definitely weird." Victor thought, but dismissed it as more of his dream and left the basement to go to sleep.
If he had looked harder, he would have noticed the small droplets of blood drying and leaving a permanent stain from where he had collapsed and went through his first transformation.
