ravenrogue19--la mort means death.

azarathangel-you measured...? (coughs in hand) "Nerd!" NO! I didn't say anything! hehe...poor innocent bystanders...that cookie hurt FYI, so no more throwing! PS: Mutant pickles? why?

"Your...his sister? He never mentioned a sister..."

"I'm not supposed to be here...if my parents find out...they'll...well...just listen," she crouched down beside them and whispered, "E-mail is a huge mutant that was created by a man named Slade. His one purpose is to destroy you all so that Slade can be free of a demon that brought him back from the dead," she stopped.

"Trigon? But...how do you know this?" Raven whispered back. The police were waiting patiently.

"I see things...many things...go East. There you'll find E-mail. He will not expect you; I hope. Please avenge my brother..."

"Wait! I recognize you...though your hair and skin are different..." Robin said.

"You've known me for a while now...I must go. Extreme punishment awaits me...goodbye. Remember, East, One AM. Check your e-mail..." Caelum Ruberum slipped away into the crowd.

"Wait!" Raven yelled, still clutching her arm.

"Listen kids, if you want him to lie there and rot--" the cop began, then abruptly stopped as Raven looked at him, eyes glowing white.

"Raven!" Robin quickly lunged to covered her face with his hands. "You don't need to--" he was thrown to the ground as she jumped first to her feet, then into the air, flying away. "Raven!" Many people gasped and an uproar broke out. "Raven!"

"She...was a Teen Titan...?" the cop asked. "We thought they died..."

"You thought wrong." Robin pulled Benji up and carried him to the ambulance. "It's to late..."

Later that night

"No. He just doesn't understand...He wants to--"

"Come on--"

"But can't. We have to go find E-mail--"

"We don't kill--"

"I have to avenge Benji. I have to get rid of Slade's creation--"

"What if this Caelum girl is lying? She could just be another one of Slade's minions trying to trick us into leaving the city so he can take over--"

"The Titans are gone, Robin. We died remember?"

"Come on Raven! Slade knows we're not dead! There's no point in hiding anymore! We can come back! It'll be just like old times--"

"I like school. I don't want to fight crime!"

"Trigon is not going to get you--"

"I don't expect him--"

"Guys, just shut up!" Cyborg slammed the door open and marched into Raven's room. "I can hear you from the basement!"

"Sorry Cyborg..." Robin frowned at Raven. "He isn't alive. He isn't real. Cealum Ruberum was lying. She's just trying to trick you, just like Slade did. You are safe, but you won't be if you go back to school. If Slade has sent E-mail out to kill us, you'll be safer at the Tower. Don't go back to school Raven. Just ignore it. Pretend Benji was never part of your life; pretend he never died; pretend it never happened." he left.

"I'll just go..." Raven fell onto her bed the moment Cyborg closed the door. Nothing blew up, nothing even shook.

"My friend," she frowned and tried to find her mirror, "I will never, ever," she opened a drawer and pulled it out, "forget." she let the demonic bird claws pull her into her mind.
