"Mom's special abilities? What are you talking about?" Ken's face was suddenly expressionless.

"I think it's time to tell you what happened to mom. Let's go to my room. It's getting cold out here." Raven nodded and the two teleported into Ken's room.

"I still can't believe your room looks better than mine." Ken smiled.

"Well, if you didn't leave your dirty unmentionables lying around..."

"Hey! I told you that one dropped out of the pile of laundry I was carrying!"

"Whatever. Anyway, take a seat. No, not on the bed, here." Ken gestured at a blank spot on his wall.

"Uh...Ken? There's nothing there."

"Give me a second...There we go. Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" A huge orb encompassed half of the wall Ken had gestured to. A few seconds later, two large, squashy armchairs were now in front of a fireplace in which a fire was crackling merrily. A small table that held a tray which contained nuts and small candies stood in between the chairs.

"Cool."

"Very. Anyway, have a seat." Raven and Ken sat adjacent to each other. Ken popped a few almonds into his mouth. Raven looked at the tray.

"You, err...got anything else?" Said Raven. "I'm allergic to nuts and I don't really like those candies that much."

With a wave of his hand, Ken created another table that contained small cakes and drinks.

"Much better, thanks. So what's this all about?"

"You remember what I told you about what happened to mom, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good.. This is going to be long, so I hope there is a snack on the tables you like." Ken poured himself a cup of cherry soda.

"Ah, that's good. Anyway, we had discovered Trigon's diabolical plan. We went to tell mom about it and she said she already knew."

"How'd she know?"

"I'll get to that. So, she arranged for us to be sent to grandma. Without us, Trigon didn't have the power required to take over Azarath. We were to be sent in special space pods which would cryogenically freeze us until we got to our destination. Trigon found this out and…well, maybe it's better if I show you this next part. Seeing as you can't do it, I need you to transfer some of your energy to me."

"O-ok." Ken's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he began chanting in a monotone voice.

"Node siem azar dinom fenba kento danta ziam notzim kira goba RA!" A dark, transparent circle appeared and slowly descended upon the siblings. AS soon as the circles touched them, Raven felt as though her body was being compressed and she found it hard to breath as they entered a dark void.

"Ken," She gasped "What's…hkk…going on?"

"Don't…talk." Ken said quietly. After a few seconds, Raven could breathe properly again as they reappeared in a small room. A lamppost was embedded into the middle of the floor that looked a 19th century road. An old man wearing a black suit and a bowler hat was sleeping as he leaned against the wall.

"Old man!" Ken called out. The old man quickly looked up at Ken and smiled.

"Ah, Ken. It has been a while…and…it can't be…Raven?" Raven looked at the old man.

"How do you know my name?"

"That's not important," Ken said quickly, "Gr—old man, what color is the portal that sends us back to…that time?"

"It is only visible to a certain eye. Look for the color gray."

"Thanks, old timer."

"Anytime, Ken. Take care, you two."

"Ken, what was all that about?" Who is that man?" Raven said with a confused look on her face.

"I'll tell you all that later, just stay still for a minute." Ken put his left hand on the back of Raven's head and his right hand on her forehead.

"Dirth Yee Neop." He said softly. Raven's eyes looked sharper for a second before reverting back to its normal look. She gasped as Ken took his hands off of her head.

"Ken, what did you do? I think you messed my vision up. I can see these colors around you." Ken smiled at her.

"We'll talk about that when we get back to the Tower. We have to hurry now. This is a complicated scry I'm maintaining. I might lose it if we spend any more time here. Follow me. "Quickly." Ken walked over to a dusty spot of the floor. He slowly extended his arm out and closed his hand around something. Raven stared at his hand and saw that he was now holding a doorknob.

"How'd you know that was there?"

"I can sense when a magic has been used. This door can only be opened by those with strong minds. Let's go." Ken turned the knob and a door appeared. He pushed it open and the siblings walked through it into an enormous room with large, glowing, blue circles littering the floor.

"Now…I need you. Raven, in this room, there are several…portals. The one we need has a gray aura around it. Find it and lead me to it."

"Ok." Raven looked around and spotted a gray aura immediately.

"I see it. It's near the top-right corner." Raven took Ken's hand and lead him over to a portal that was much smaller than the others. They both stepped into it and closed their eyes. Raven's muscles tightened. For the second time, she felt like her body was being compressed.

"Raven, keep your eyes closed until I say so. Now, we are going through a time portal."

"Just where are we going?"

" Now, when we get there, you need to avoid affecting anything. Even though we are invisible, it is essential that we not interact with anything. Horrible things happen to people who screw with time. Don't touch anything. Don't leave anything. Don't even breathe on anything."

"Ok, ok, I got it. Ken, can I ask you something?"

"Hurry up; we're almost there."

"Why does your voice sound so faint?"

"You know how our energy is connected to our life?"

"Yeah, if we use too much energy, you…die. Ken, just how much energy have you used?" Raven demanded.

"We're there." Raven felt the compressed feeling leaving her body as light began shining against here eyes.

"You can open your eyes now." Raven opened her eyes and gasped.

"Welcome home, Raven."
