'Why does it hurt to see you?'

Raven had just come down for their departure when she heard it, that voice in the back of her head and she felt the stairs beneath her vanish and she was falling. She didn't know what happened, only that Robin was the one who caught her and held her close while she tried to recover. When she woke, she was surrounded by the Titans West and East. She quietly got up, and then she sparked, everything around her exploded, including Robin and the other Titans.

"No!" Raven covered her ears, screaming as lightning sparked from every part of her body and was starting to scorch things. "STOP!" she screamed, collapsing to her knees. Her nails began to dig into her scalp and she could feel the pain. She screamed so loudly that she sent off waves of energy that blasted back several of the Titans, but Robin held fast. He struggled to reach her, and when he did, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "R-Robin!"

"Hush, Raven. It's all going to be okay, just trust me, Raven." Robin held her to his heart and he felt it snap as he heard her scream again. He didn't dare cry.

Raven's grip tightened and she suddenly began to cough, blood dripping from her lips and off her chin. She coughed until she was vomitting up blood.

'Why do I love you?'
