Raven sat in her room, alone in the dark, staring out in the darkness. Thanks to her demonic eyes, she could see the dark room perfectly. She stayed unmoving, she searched and searched but could not find any emotion inside herself. Ever since she chased her and caged her emotions on the beach, she felt hollow.
'Is that what I wanted? Not to feel anything.' Raven said. She looked down at her palm, and used her power to obtain her sword. Her sheathe started to float towards her and she grabbed it in midair. She unsheathed her sword and ran the blade on her forearm. Blood spilled on her bed, and Raven felt nothing. 'Is this what I am now? What I'm supposed to be? Just an empty vessel?' Raven thought. She then got up off her bed and headed to the one place she knew where she could make herself feel.

Starfire awoke and found herself in the tower's infirmary. She tried to get up but she felt sharp pains all over her body. She laid back down and tried to remember what happened. She remembered fighting a mutant alone. She defeated the mutant but she was already badly beaten. What she didn't know was that she fought a demon and not a mutant. She then remembered a dream she had about Raven and it put a smile on her face. The trio entered the room and greeted Starfire. They all agreed to not say anything to Starfire yet, until they were absolutely sure.
"Hi" Starfire whispered, she felt a sharp pain in her body.
"Hey... you shouldn't be talking so much." Nightingale said as she approached Starfire.
"You need anything" Alkaline asked.
Starfire whispered a very faint "no" as she stared out the window. The trio left her so that she could rest, telling her to just call on any of them if she needed anything. Starfire thought about the dream she had of Raven rescuing her and smiled.

Starfire was able to get out of bed after a few days of just sitting on her bed, thinking about Raven. Her room mates advised her to stay out of trouble and just stay clear of fighting since her wounds haven't completely cleared up yet. Starfire had nothing to do since she was also excused from training session so she decided to take a stroll down the city and just go sight seeing. She rarely had time to do so since she was always out fighting crime or training with the others.
Starfire put on her civilian clothes and flew towards the city. She landed on the shore and decided to walk the rest of the time. She went to the park first to view the children playing, then she decided to go get lunch at a nearby restaurant. She headed for the beach around the after noon and spent her time meditating there. She found it rather hard to meditate since all she thought about was her dream of seeing Raven. She let out a heavy sigh and decided if she was going to think about Raven, she might as well think about Raven in their secret spot. She got up and flew towards the end of the city.
She landed near the bushes of the spot and headed for the clearing ahead. As soon as she got into the clearing, she saw a girl bathing in the waterfall. Starfire concluded that this was the same girl she had seen from a few nights ago. The girl had her back turned on Starfire and had her pile of discarded clothes on the grass. Starfire watched with awe as the woman with black hair ran her fingers through her hair. The girl slightly turned her head and revealed her face to Starfire. Starfire couldn't believe her eyes. The hair color had change and her eyes were now black. But her actions and the way she talked... Starfire couldn't believe it, it was Raven.
"Raven..." Starfire whispered. Raven took a deep dive and then arose from the water.
"Hello Starfire" Raven said with a tone that carried no expression. She got arose from the waters, revealing her naked form to Starfire, who was too shocked to move. Starfire blushed when she saw Raven's beautiful body. Raven picked up her clothes and dressed slowly in front of Starfire. She put on her silk red thong and her matching bra, and then put on her tight black jeans. She bent down and picked up a large red long sleeve button up shirt and put it on. She didn't bother buttoning up the shirt as she walked towards Starfire. She stopped after she was only a couple of yards away from Starfire. Starfire noticed the change Raven had made on the outside and the inside. Raven had grown a little less then a head taller then Starfire. Her eyes and her hair were now black. What changed most though, was her eyes. Starfire used to look into them and see passion in them. Now all she could see from Ravens eyes were her reflection.
"Raven? How can this be" Starfire said a she approached Raven.
"Half demon half angel remember" Raven stated with the same tone in her voice. "I age slower then humans... but what about you" Raven asked.
"I'm an alien..." Starfire never broke her gaze from Raven. She began to take in the changes in Raven, both inside and out. She gazed at Raven intensely. She noted that this was in fact Raven, it wasn't a dream, Raven was standing in front of her... all flesh and bones. Starfire broke into tears and ran towards the soaked Raven. "Raven..." Starfire whispered as she took the now taller Raven in her arms. Raven kept her arms at her side and didn't return the hug. "I have missed you so..." Starfire whispered as her tears fell on Raven's chest. 'I have to resist her... but being near her again...' Raven told herself as she felt her emotions fighting for freedom. Just as Starfire was about to let go of Raven, Raven slipped her arm around Starfire's waist. She then used her free hand to Starfire's face. She gently caressed Starfire's cheek and let her finger roam down Starfire's chin. She used her finger to lift Starfire's face, letting Starfire look into her eyes. Starfire saw some thing there, she saw love in Raven's eyes. What she saw was quickly replaced by the same emptiness that she had seen before. 'She has changed.. so much... she is no longer the same Raven.' Starfire thought as she cried. Starfire was about to release Raven but then Raven embraced Starfire, she stroked Starfire's hair as Starfire cried.
"Starfire..." Raven whispered in Starfire's ear. Suddenly Raven broke their embrace and stepped away from Starfire. She then quickly vanished from Starfire's sight. She gazed at the spot where Raven stood.
"Oh Raven what has happpened to you" Starfire said as she flew home in tears.
