p dir="ltr"But considering Beast Boy was standing right there, with a speech bubble over his head saying, 'help me, please!' I think I had a reason to flip./p
p dir="ltr""He appeared a few minutes ago," Dick told us, as Raven was looking at the Beast Boy lookalike, too. "I don't know where he came from, though, so we can't send him back there."/p
p dir="ltr""He came out of my head," I told them. "I made him in my mind to annoy Raven, and she threw him through a tear in my thoughts. He must've been created physically then."/p
p dir="ltr""But if he was able to manifest in the physical realm, other things could wander out, as well," Raven said in her monotone voice. "Try to unmake him, Morrigan." His eyes grew and the speech bubble read, 'WHAT?!' I shrugged apologetically and envisioned him disassembling, and sure enough, he started melting into the ground. It took a couple minutes, but he melted away completely, leaving no trace./p
p dir="ltr""We need to start my training soon, Raven. No one needs the more dangerous stuff in my head getting out," I whispered, yet in the silent room, I felt like I was shouting. She nodded, along with Dick. That's when I realized, the three of us were the only people in the room. I glared at Dick and he raised his hands innocently, knowing exactly why I was glaring./p
p dir="ltr""Nigma went to go eat, which reminds me I need to go tell him you're back, and Crane went to make you a 'cocktail for when you woke up,' was his words." He then opened the door to go find Edward and Johnathan and left me alone with Raven./p
p dir="ltr""What kind of 'dangerous stuff' do you think about?" she asked me. I just showed her my arms and told her about my anger issues. Like the Hulk, I'm always angry, but most times I can quell the rage. It got out of control a few years ago, and I attacked a stupid bitch who'd been bullying me for years./p
p dir="ltr"Said stupid bitch ended up in the hospital with two cracked ribs, a shattered arm, and a broken leg. I spent ten months in juvenile hall that year. The judge told me I got off easy, and that if she'd been in worse shape it wouldn't have been juvie I had gone to./p
p dir="ltr""You have to learn to control your emotions, if your powers are anything like mine," Raven said./p
p dir="ltr""One of the reasons I had to go was so I could get anger management courses everyday. I have a pretty good grip on my anger, but my depression, not so much," I told her. "Anyway, let's go before- "/p
p dir="ltr"*CRASH, BANG*/p
p dir="ltr" "Before they kill each other?" Raven said, smirking slightly. I just nodded then stood up, shaking my head. We exited Edward's room and I saw Dick fly into the wall. Raven tried to jump into action but I stopped her./p
p dir="ltr" "Watch for right now, then jump in if he needs help," I said. She backed off a bit and we sat on the floor watching the show-I mean fight between Dick and…IVY?! Well, shit. I guess it's time for me to leave. "Raven, dear, would you help me get out?" I asked, turning toward her. She pulled me up with her, then flew straight into the fray./p
p dir="ltr" "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she shouted, picking up the nearest vine and throwing it through the window. She then preceded to jump in front of Dick, put up an energy shield, pick him up, and fly out the now-broken window. I thought of following her, but Ivy rode a vine out the window, so I figured I should check on Edward and Johnathan./p
p dir="ltr" So I went up to the good doctor's lab, and Johnathan was just leaning over his table, mixing something. "Have you seen Edward?" I asked him./p
p dir="ltr" "No, he said he was heading back to his room. I gave him something for you," he said without turning around./p
p dir="ltr" "You have no idea what just happened, do you?"/p
p dir="ltr" He turned toward me and said, "What are you talking about?" /p
p dir="ltr" "Well, Pamela just broke into your home, and ran Richard and Raven out, and I came up here to find you and Edward. I haven't seen him since me and Raven 'left,' so to speak," I informed him. "And Richard said you were mixing up a cocktail for me…?"/p
p dir="ltr" "Yes, I gave it to-" he started, but was interrupted by a knock at his door. "Come in."/p
p dir="ltr" In stepped Edward, looking worse for the wear. Edward stumbled over to a chair and flopped down. He then handed me a vial of black goo with the instructions to drink it. I looked over at Johnathan who was waiting patiently with a pen poised over his clipboard. Then I shrugged and drank it./p
p dir="ltr"Let me say this now, I don't advocate drinking things random men give you, but then again my whole life is 'do as I say, not as I do,' so…yeah./p
p dir="ltr" The first thing I noticed, besides the taste (strawberries and chocolate, surprisingly), was the feeling of not being in control of my body. Like I was having an out-of-body experience. 'Johnathan, what the hell have you done to me?' I thought and tried to say, but no part of my body was responding. Edward stood up and came towards my body. He snapped his fingers in front of my face, and got no reaction so he sat back down./p
p dir="ltr" "Nothing," came his muffled voice, almost as if he was speaking through cotton and lead. He kept talking to Edward, but I couldn't make out anything they were saying./p
p dir="ltr" 'Guys,' I tried to say, 'what's going on? Can either of you even hear me?' No sound came from my lips, even though lips did in fact move. Edward was the first to see them move. After being poked repeatedly by Edward Johnathan moved over to my body and said, "could you repeat that?" I growled, repeating what I tried to say, with a few...embellishments. Yet this time, no part of my body moved./p
p dir="ltr" "Good to know she's as gullible as ever," Edward said. 'Wait, what?'/p
p dir="ltr" "However easily manipulated she may be, she is of no consequence to us now," Johnathan replied, as I felt hands on my shoulders and a prick on my neck. "Take her back home, where she belongs," and away he looks, taking whatever ideals I had of my current world with him./p
