I woke up the next morning with Robin lying right next to me. He was snoring softly with his muscular arm wrapped around me. I slowly turned to face him completely without waking him up. He had the perfect face, so innocent. I lifted my lips to his cheek and pressed them lightly against his skin. He remained asleep, but smiled. While quietly getting out of bed, I hopped over to my bookshelf, trying to find any way to save myself and my friends. Going through book after book, hour after hour, Robin finally awoke with a yawn. I quickly stuffed the book I was currently reading back into its spot.
"Morning Raven," he said while he walked over to me. He quickly embraced me tightly and pulled my lips to his. Butterflies were set free into my stomach. After pulling away, he quietly walked out to the main hall where everyone was hanging out.
"You coming?" he asked.
"Sure, be out in a second," I answered while smiling.
He smiled back and left. As soon as he disappeared around the corner, I ripped the book off my shelf and flipped back to the page I was reading. I was on a lead and I had to find out where it was heading. After reading page after page, my eyes widened once I read the answer to myself. I gasped out of my meditating position and stumbled backwards and to the floor. I didn't understand, it couldn't happen, as wouldn't let it happen! I collapsed and curled myself up into a ball as I cried into my hands. My books never lied, they never did. They were hundreds of years old, and tradition could never be broken. I would never forgive myself if I let this happen. I would rather die than let this happen. After I composed myself, I slid the book under the bed to keep it hidden, hidden from my friends.
-1 Hour Later-
I was flying through Jump City with my friends, getting to our battle. Apparently, a stupid jailbird broke out of prison and 'fell' into some toxic waste, causing him to become an ugly, mutated monster. He was going crazy, destroying the city into pieces, killing everyone he came across. I was sick of the bastards doing these immature schemes, especially when they attacked the people of my home.
Once we reached the distraught scene, we attacked. I shot beams into his eyes while Beast Boy rammed him from behind as an ox, sending the monster flying into the air. I used my powers to electrocute him, but he merely absorbed them and threw my own energy back at me, hitting my head hard, causing me to see white. I felt myself fly back into a building and drop to the hard pavement, where my vision became fuzzy and dim. I vaguely saw Starfire shoot lasers out of her eyes at the monster with Cyborg and Robin using the Sonic Boom to officially drop him to the ground. I heard a thud as the ground trembled, then whispers around me. Then, my mind went blank.
I awoke to muffled voices above me, my vision blank, and my head nauseated. My body was completely numb and ached when I slightly moved my muscles. I groaned from the pain, making the voices go silent.
"I think she's coming around," I heard a squeaky voice say.
"Careful, she is really delicate right now," a masculine voice say cautiously.
"Raven..." a sweet voice said.
My eyelids slowly opened up and I saw a flood of light. Above my head was a white light and I was lying on a surgical table. I squinted my eyes as I looked around at the people standing before me.
My friends all moved back as I sat up, my hands supporting my weak back. The second I was fully upright, a wave of dizziness washed upon me and I fell back down on the table. I felt so sick.
"Raven, rest. It's okay, we're here, you're safe," Robin said.
"What happened, you know, at the fight?" I asked with vague memory from the event that took place.
"You were slammed really hard into a wall and were knocked out, and there's something else," Cyborg said while staring at the floor.
"What?! Tell me," I said with nervousness in my voice.
"I ran a scan over your body, you used to have black cells, your magical blood. The hit to your head must have discombobulated your memory and abilities because according to the scan, your cells are red," Cyborg said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said confused.
"Raven, you lost your powers, you are human now," Robin said slowly so I could take it in.
"What, NO! I can't be human! Are you sure that your scan was accurate,". I screeched in shock.
"There's only one way to prove our theory, use your powers," Robin said.
