Robin stepped forward and said, "I will fight you, and I will beat you" "So sure of ourselves are we?" I turned to the Titans and said, "I probably should have done this with beast boy" I drew my sword and fiddled with the handle a little. The sword glowed slightly but stopped. "The blade has been dulled, it will still bruise and possible break bones but it won't cut." Robin got his Bo staff and walked over to the center of the mat. I stared him down and then crouched low. Cyborg looked at a stopwatch and shouted "Go!" Robin leapt at me with surprising agility but I simply jumped into the air again and drew my sword. When I landed I had to duck quickly as his staff soared by my head. I slashed the sword sideways and rolled away form another one of his blows. He circled me looking for an opening. I wasn't planning on giving him one. Another nod from Cy and I was flipping the switch again, but this time the blade was surrounded in blue lightning. Robin looked a little less confident and a little more wary. I pointed the blade and squeezed the handle and lightning shot from the tip of the blade. It scorched where Robin had been standing. But Robin was gone and he was up and jumping over me. He slashed downward and caught me in the shoulder. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Raven cringe. My shoulder was screaming but I ignored it as I slashed to where I knew Robin would be and grinned slightly when I heard a yelp as Soulfire struck him in the ribs. He went down gasping for air. I dropped my blade to my side and said, "Do you yield?" He slowly but surely nodded his head as I sheathed my sword and helped him up. Cy's mouth had more than hit the floor. The Titans were staring at me. Robin had a look. I turned to Star and asked if she would like to fight me next. She slowly shook her head.
Raven looked at me and started to walk towards me. I grabbed the hilt of my sword when she held up a hand. She laid a hand on my head. I felt a presence ask for entrance into my mind. Out of a stupid thought I granted it. I could feel Raven sifting through my emotions and memories. When she came to the one about my parents I heard her gasp slightly. Then I let the pulsing of the Weirstone show through my thoughts and she quickly retreated. She gasped and stumbled away from me. The Titans looked at me with a curious look. Raven suddenly grabbed my hand and teleported us both to her room. She shoved me onto her bed and gave me a glaring look. Then she continued to stand and said "Who are you? I want the truth. Where you are from, who you are and what you are." I stood up and she warily glared at me as I opened my palm. She gasped when a small ball of fire appeared. I quickly extinguished it. She covered her mouth with her hand and opened her mouth to say something but I held up a hand. I returned to sitting on the bed and patted the spot next to me with my hand. She slowly came over and sat down next to me. I then launched into my history, "I, Maxwell Knight, was born in a small town in called Trinity, Ohio. When I was born and my parents discovered my powers, I was quickly sent to doctors around the globe. They found hope in Jessamine Longbranch. She said she could remove the "abnormality". So she gave me surgery and then I had to take this medicine for the rest of my life. Then one day I decided to stop taking it. That was the day it all started. I was walking down the hallway at when someone suddenly screamed and I turned to see what it was. They were staring and pointing at me. I ran to bathroom and looked in the mirror to find myself steaming. My clothes started to smoke and then my backpack caught on fire. I ran to the swim room and jumped into the pool. Some tall guy came running after me and fished me out of the water. He called himself Hastings and he took me to this guy's garage where an old guy with a beard started to treat me. He called him self Nick Snowbeard. Then this really tall kid who called himself Jack Swift ran up and gave me a once over. He had a wicked looking sword. Then I was taken in since my parents adopted me and given one of the seven great blades", I paused and unsheathed Soulfire. It seemed to glow wickedly in the darkness of the room. I flicked the switch and electricity crackled along its length. I turned it off and sheathed it again. I continued, "I then went to New York and ended up living on the streets. There Mike found me and I had another family. I helped Knight Industries but have never revealed my powers to anyone, until now.". When I finished, she had her head down and she had a concentrated look on her face. Suddenly Raven looked up at me and I could see tears forming. She suddenly grabbed me, opened her door and threw me out. I hit the opposite wall, barely missing Beast Boy and Terra, who had just turned the corner. They looked down at me shocked and while Terra helped me up, Beast Boy turned and looked at Raven's now closed door. I practically yelled at Raven's door, "What the hell was that for?" Beast Boy then turned to me and asked, "What was that about about?" I turned to him with a confused expression of my own and said, " I have no idea" I then turned and approached my room, opened the door and collapsed on my bed. I undressed and set Soulfire in its case. I then went and took a long, hot shower. When I got out I set my ipod on its player and started to play Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson. I let the words wash over me. "I miss the sound of your voice , and I miss the rush of your skin, and I miss the still of the silence , as you breathe out and I breathe in " Raven began to run through my mind and there was no stopping it. "So come on, get higher, loosen my lips, faith and desire in the swing of your hips, just pull me down hard, and drown me in love" I was slowly falling on the bed as I realized that I was slowly falling for Raven. Just then there was a knock on the door. I turned toward the door as I finished getting dressed, "Who is it?" I called. "Its Robin, open up, we need to talk" I slowly approached the door and opened it slightly. "I am not talking to you so leave me alone." He tried to push his way in but I easily held my own. He looked at me and said, "If we don't talk i'll break down your door and force you to talk." I simply shrugged and told him to wait a sec. I then closed the door and got Soulfire. I the opened the door and shut it behind me. I drew Soulfire and flicked the switch. The sword crackled to life, zapping a couple lights out. He took a step back and I said, " Now what was this about breaking down my door?" He simply looked at me and shook his head. "Nothing, now put the sword down before you hurt someone." I nodded and shut it off. I turned around to see a glaring Raven storm back into her room. I turned back to see a confused looking Robin slowly walking off. I made a choice and slowly went to Raven's door I raised my hand and knocked.
Raven's POV
I stormed back into my room and sat down on my bed to meditate. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos." But it was no use. I collapsed on to my bed and was just about to let sleep take hold when I heard a knock on the door. "Raven, can I talk to you?" It was him. Didn't he take a hint. I wanted to be left alone. I slid the door open slightly and had to stop myself when I saw him standing there. He had a concerned look and I heard happy yell "He is SO cute! Look at the way his muscles stand out and look at the way his arms flex!" I mentally told her to shut up. I looked at him as he said, "Hey, I just want to talk. Thats all, I promise." I decided to test it out and slowly opened the door to allow him entrance. He slowly walked in and I stared him down. I could feel his emotions and they were a raging storm of sadness and depression mixed with, was that...love, and concern and worry and it was bad enough to give me a slight headache. I thought to my self, 'This is one troubled person'. I caught myself feeling sorry for him. He turned to me and the sadness and longing I felt radiating off of him, it hit me like a ton of bricks. He slowly opened his mouth to say something and I knew I was in for a long night.
