A/N:

I'm gonna explain why her hair was long right now. very first few sentences. It just had to wait. And I guess that since everyone thinks that my story should be in the comics, I moved it. PS I have read the comics, but they were the ones from the 80's and 90's.

"She must've lied," Robin pushed onward. He couldn't stop at the speed he was going if he tried, so he just kept moving faster. "I know her hair didn't grow since this morning. Slade must've come for her. It's the only explanation. But why didn't she tell us? And I know she wasn't wearing her leotard when I-"

"Chill man, the girl can freeze reality. I'm sure she had plenty of time to change." Cyborg said from the T-car.

"NO!" Raven was still running. She would never give in. "Get away from me!"

"It's stupid to run, Raven. You should just accept your fate. It's really that simple." Slade walked behind her. There was no way out of the volcano. She was just wasting her energy.

"Get away from me!" she screamed as Slade closed in on her.

"Accept your fate!" he yelled grabbing her arms.

"Never!" she pushed him away.

"You are a fool to try Raven!" Slade simply reached out and grabbed her again.

"Leave me alone!" Raven was much to impatient now. She flew high into the air and summoned her soul-self. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she whispered. A black shadow of a raven flew out of her.

"No! Stop!" Slade ran up the side of the volcano and flipped to the nearest rock.

Raven controlled herself. She led her soul-self toward Titans Tower. But before she reached it she saw Robin on the R-cycle. She forced her soul toward him.

"Raven!" he yelled as he saw her. She began to return to the volcano. He was following close behind her. He was also talking on his communicator.

"Stop!" yelled a distant voice. Raven was aware of being shaken. Slade had gotten to her and was trying to force her to break her connection with her soul.

"Never!" whispered her unconscious body. "Just a little farther Robin," she whispered.

"No!" Slade grabbed Raven by her arms and threw her. She remained in contact with her soul-self no longer. "You will do as I tell you and destroy this planet now! Open the portal!"

"Never! Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she flew into the air away from him and released her soul once again. Quickly she found Robin. He had apparently not been looking during her absence because he did not seem confused; just concerned.

"You must..." Slade's voice faded in and out of Raven's mind.

'Focus on Robin!' she told herself mentally. 'Don't let him distract you again!'

"Raven," the voice of Slade was to strong. Raven forced her soul toward the volcano. Robin must find her. She needed him to help. Slade could not win.

Suddenly Raven fell. She hit the ground so hard she thought she would die, but instead, she opened her eyes and watched as Robin attacked Slade with all his strength. Slade hit him square in the stomach.

As Raven watched, her head tilted slightly from left to right. Once or twice she caught herself staring at a rock formation in the shape of a human. But no rock could resemble a human, unless of course it was, "Terra!" Raven whispered to herself, then she drifted into a blank sleep.
