OOC: Another chapter up. I'm on a roll... victory dance Yeah, well this one isn't the longest, bear with me folks please...

Night. Raven's head ran wild with thoughts about Mirage as she laid on her bed. The Tower was quiet, everyone had gone to sleep- not even wanting to talk about the incident together. It was too disturbing for them, to see such power in such a small girl.

Raven could remember watching her brother pick her up and carry her home, his eyes focusing on the path before him, not looking or replying when anyone said his name. He had disappeared, probably to the roof and the Titans didn't want to disturb him.

Why didn't Raven like him like the others? Starfire was fond of him greatly and the guys treated him like a brother. But Raven...

He was the perfect guy, so many would say. Handsome, sincere, considerate, intelligent, caring, so much more. But still...

She needed something to make her relax. The only thing she could think of was meditation. Closing her eyes, she began to murmur into the shadows of her room. "Azarath Metreon Zinthos..."

A flame flickered in her view and she shuddered. She couldn't meditate. Not here. It reminded her of the vision. Sweeping up her cloak, she pulled it on and slipped to the door.

Opening it, she found herself face to face with none other than Logan. Surprise struck her but didn't show upon her face, the hood blocking out the narrowed expression touching her features.

"The bathroom is down the hall," she said softly, watching him carefully.

"Raven..."

He looked so different from the joker who hung out with the guys. He had the same solemn, fearful look to his eyes.

"You are close to my sister...correct?

"Mirage is my friend, Logan." Raven was surprised at how quickly she came to say that.

"Raven..."

"Logan? What's wrong?"

"Raven..."

Her eyes widened and she reached out a hand to steady Logan. His eyes were slightly wild, his mouth shut in a firm line, skin pale. Raven stared at him- he looked as if he was struggling over something.

"Don't trust her," he finally managed. It was surprising how steady his voice was.

"Who? Mirage? Why? What's going on, Logan?"

"She is different than you think..."

"What?"

"There are thinks about her you don't want to know."

"Logan..."

"Remember this, Raven. The truth can be just as deceiving as a lie." Reaching out, her pressed the button to close the door, making Raven fly back into her room to prevent being stuck. She quickly moved to open the door once more, but something held her back. This was Logan's problem, he probably just had a nightmare.

Still shaking slightly from the odd encounter, Raven slipped into her bed and stared into space.

Mirage was different, that she knew. But so was she. Why did Logan expect her to break their frendship over what he said? Worry bit at her. What if...

What if Logan was right?

What if Mirage was different? She had lied before...no... she hadn't. She had told the truth or else said nothing, allowing Raven and the others' minds to fool themselves, weaving a tangle of lies thicker than she could weave. It was a horrid trick, but smart.

What did she have to hide?

Raven alreday knew she was immortal. But what other knowledge or power did Mirage have that she had to keep so hidden?

She bit her lip. Whatever it was, Mirage was strange.

But who said strange was bad?

What are you doing here?

That is none of your concern.

Yes it is. You are my sister.

Logan closed his eyes. Mirage did this frequently, flickered into his mind. He could feel her illusion spreading from her bedroom to his until he could clearly see her standing at the foot of his bed. He stared at her. There was one thing different from this Mirage to the real. This Mirage had two silver eyes, not a blank white one.

Why do you do this to me, sister?

Logan. You are disrupting my business again.

Your business is to hurt my friends?

The voice coming from the girl, the voice flickering in his head did not reply.

It is necessary.

You said the same thing before, Mirage. And look what happened to you.

I am normal, brother. Perfectly normal.

No, you're not, sister. Not at all.

Why do you do this?

What? Keep you from doing what you will?

No. Insult me so.

I thought that's what siblings do.

Her eyes flashed, suddenly there was flame between them that instantly disappeared. He was annoying her, he knew it. When she became angry, the illusions changed, making her create things that shouldn't be there.

Careful, Mirage. You wouldn't want to lose your temper.

The figure's eyes narrowed.

Stay away from this, Logan. This is necessary.

It is not necessary, and you know it! It is your own greed that will kill the people I love!

They will not die.

But they will wish they could. You will hurt them, Mirage. I know it. Don't bother lying.

She'll be alright.

Logan closed his eyes, shaking his head until the vision seemed to fade away. He was somewhat strong against mirage's powers, even if she was not strong against his. He could destroy her illusions in his mind, but she could not escape his pain. Yet still, she had more power.

She could see his deepest desires... Being immortal and her illusions were nothing compared to what else. She could manipulate the mind, see into the very black hearts of people. Yet, was that even a unnatural gift? Or was it simply her human soul lurking in the shadows of her immortality...

I told you not to lie, sister. Do not attempt to fool me anymore.

Keeping his eyes shut firmly, he closed his mind to his twin. As a twin, their powers only increased natural Twin gifts, such as slight telepathy. They could have a conversation without seeing one another. It was convenient, but difficult.

Within twenty minutes he was asleep- obviously tired from the day, though his twin was not. Staring at the ceiling, anger flared through her. A pale hand reached up and out towards a wall in the direction of Logan's room. He would pay. As he slept, a nightmare crossed his mind, making him roll over and begin to sweat, muttering in his sleep. A soft smile of satisfaction crossed her lips, one of the few she ever had.

"Brother, you fail to realize I am invincible." Her voice softly touched the night air. "Nothing can stop me, Logan, my dear brother. Nothing. Not even you."
