Chapter 5

Pushing herself up off the ground, Raven managed to finally gain stability after a few moments of drunken stumbling and wobbling. Groaning slightly, she rubbed her head, feeling a cool breeze on the side of it. She pulled back her hand to notice blood now covering her hand. "Great." She muttered.

Suddenly remembering what had happened moments ago, she feverishly lifted up her top and saw a large hand print bruise nicely painted on her skin. "Oh, that's so much better."

"Raven! Raven!" She turned around to see a frantic Starfire, with a slightly worried Terra, running towards her. She quickly scanned around her, a little late in reaction timing really, to see if there was any sign of Robin. As expected, he was nowhere.

"Are you alright Raven?" Starfire said, pulling Raven from her trance.

"Yea, we've been looking for you for ages now." Jinx said.

"When they say ages, they mean the past 10 minutes." Flash said, emerging from the street, which the alleyway led from.

"You weren't picking up your communicator. Something happen or something?" Bumblebee asked.

"No, I just was overcome by a sudden feeling of faintness. Nothing to worry about. Just passed out I suppose." She didn't know why she lied about her little one to one with Robin, but it just didn't feel like the right thing to do to tell them. Maybe she'd just tell Starfire later. "We should get back to base." Hesitantly, not knowing whether to believe what had just come out of her mouth, the others nodded and gathered round Raven as she enveloped them in black aura.

"Geez Raven, I had heard how fucked up your head was but this is just mental." You'd think that he would be gentle and not try to mess anything up when inside the girl he 'once' loved's head, but then again, this is Robin we're talking about. He didn't care that his clumpy metal boots would leave Raven with the biggest migraine later on. Nor did he care that his mere presence in her head was causing her emotions inside to flare and spiral as they arrival of him awoke them from their slumber, Raven having locked most of her emotions away in protection since Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg's betrayal of her and Starfire.

You'd think he'd be lost, just like Cyborg and Beast Boy were those many years ago. Yet, Robin knew Raven like the back of his hand, knew where she would hide things, knew where she'd be most vulnerable, and knew that place which she had locked those precious things away since his betrayal. He chuckled slightly as he walked, things around him seeming to darken even more so than they already were. It amused him in a sick way to see how twisted her head was, he had always known of the hell that was inside of her head, and this made her all the more appealing to his bad nature.

Finally, after walking for so long, he came across one of those stone arches Beast Boy and Cyborg had told him about.

He stepped forward and the world around him changed. He had expected something bright and happy, blossom trees in full bloom and a pink-cloaked Raven to spring in front of him, some his two teammates had warned him of. Then he thought back to how much darker his ex-comrade's head had gotten and he knew that this part of her mind would not look like it had once unless things returned to how they were. "Well that sure ain't gonna happen sweetheart." He knew she couldn't hear him but he had a feeling that his words would be stored away somewhere in her complex mind.

He walked forward a bit more along the now grey path, looking around at the dead and wilting trees, the black crows and skeletal creatures scurrying around on the floor. "Robin?" He whizzed around hearing a timid and fearful voice. He already knew who it was. "Oh, it's you." She said.

"Who'd you expect?" Robin asked.

"The other you." She turned away and began to leave.

"Wait!" He called after her and she stopped. He smirked and walked towards her. "So you're the happy-go-lucky version of Raven then?"

"I used to be. But not anymore."

"Still you can help me."

"No I can't. You are evil him and I refuse to help a traitor." She spat the last word at him, something which he definitely didn't expect.

"But I asked you so nicely." He said, a sick sweet tune in his voice.

"Firstly you didn't ask and your hold over Raven will not take advantage of me!" She turned away again, her greyish pink cloak swirling around as she turned.

He grabbed hold her arm tightly and pulled her back towards him. "You will help me!"

She looked up at him and, without warning, let out a terrible shrieking noise, causing him to let go of her and allowing her to vanish. "Oh no." He knew that the human Raven will have heard that and there was nothing he could do now but work faster!

She hit the palm of her hand against her head as if trying to get something out. She shook it slightly and the feeling passed. A sharp ringing noise had suddenly occurred in Raven's head causing her to black out slightly. Something was wrong but she didn't know what.

Once they had returned to base, Raven had gone to her room desperate to try and piece together what had happened. So far she had worked out that her and Robin had exchanged less than pleasant words and she had been shoved against a wall. Anything else though was a complete mystery to her. Sighing heavily, she removed her hood and ran her hand through her hair. It was matted and sticky from dry blood from the wound on the side of her head. She removed her clothing and chucked it on the floor.

Grabbing her towel from the heap of stuff on the floor, she went into the en-suite bathroom she had managed to snag from Flash, sealing off his entrance to it from his room.

She let the water run for a bit before stepping into the shower and washing. She watched as the blood rinsed from her hair to the bottom of the tub and looked down at the swollen and not blistered mark on her stomach. She poked it and winced in pain. It would be a beautiful multi-coloured bruise within a few hours and the blisters would turn to scabs knowing her luck.

She got out of the shower having freshened up and looked in the tall broken mirror on the wall. She observed herself to see if there was any other damage other that her stomach, head and the expected gashes to the face. Turning around she noticed a bruised mark just over the tattoo of the raven on the bottom of her back. Must have been from being shoved in the wall she thought.

She dried herself off using the towel and went and got the clothes she had chucked on the floor. She filled the bathtub at the bottom of the shower and washed her clothes using what little soap she had. They might be in a war-like situation but she saw no reason to have to wear clothes infested with the parasites which were Robin's germs. Leaving them to dry in the bathroom which was the warmest place, she went back into her room and lay back on the bed, the towel firmly wrapped around her to stop any perving men whose favourite colours happened to coincide with fire walking in on her naked.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was determined something was wrong but she couldn't think what. She would lie here until she had worked it out. "For fuck sake! What have I ever done to you! Well not all of you being Raven but you stupid emotions personally! Huh!"

Raven sat bolt upright. That was Robin's voice. She looked around the room but he wasn't there. She got up hesitantly and peered down the hallway. Nope, no one. Picking up her com she rang Starfire. "Is everything alright?" She asked when Starfire picked up. "Everything's fine Raven. Are you all right?" She asked, suspecting something had gone on in that alleyway which Raven wasn't telling them.

"Yea, just checking was all." Raven laughed a bit then shut off the communicator.

"FUCKING HELL!"

There it was again. He sounded like he was right behind her. She shut her eyes and she saw him. He wasn't in the base, he was in nevermore, the place she had shut off for so long. He was in her head!
