At the mall: They bought furniture and lots of it. Star used her super strength to carry it home. They painted Katie's room and put in the furniture they did each others nails (purple) and went to bed. Now it is morning.
light filtered through Katie's new green curtains. She sat up and stretched. She got out of bed and brushed her hair and teeth. Still in her pj's (purple cami an hot pink cheerleader shorts) she walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Everyone came in at the same time, just as she finished putting the plates on the counter. "Good morning! I made breakfast."
They came up and waited, cautious of her cooking.
"A bacon, cheese, ham, and sausage omelet for Robin," She handed it to him and his mouth started to water "Two extra large bacon, cheese, ham, and sausage omelets for Cyborg," The plate of food had the same effect on Cyborg.
"Oddly burnt pancakes with runny centers, covered in mustard for Starfire," Star's eyes shined as she took the food and began to shovel it in her mouth. "For Raven, two over-medium eggs, two slices of rye toast, and a strawberry crepe."
Raven took her plate and went back to her room to eat. "Then last but not least, tofu bacon and egg-less waffles for Beast Boy."
She handed Beast Boy his plate and picked up hers.
"Wow! this is really good!"
"you said it dude! that girl can cook!"
"This nourishment is delightful!"
Robin, Cy, and Star complimented her cooking.
"I'm glad you like it." Katie took a bit out of her vegi omelet and sat down next to Beast Boy. he grimaced slightly as she took a bite of egg.
"I think I forgot you aren't a vegetarian." he commented "No, I'm not. But I think red meats are nasty. I only eat chicken, turkey, and fish."
"Yeah, your like, half vegetarian."
"Yeah."
Everyone finished eating and put their dishes in the washer.
"I think I'm going to go talk to Raven." Katie said "Oh...okay."Beast Boy said. He was a little disappointed that she was not spending more time with him, but he knew that she would eventually. She had just had a huge change in her life and needed to adjust.
"I'll see you later and maybe we can go to dinner this evening." She suggested "That sounds great!" Katie walked down the hall and knocked on Ravens door. "Come in" the door slid open and Katie walked inside. The door slid closed behind her and she walked over to raven who was sitting on her bed reading. Katie sat down next to her, she took a breath and spoke "Raven, I need your help"
Raven put her book down and looked at Katie.
"I want to learn to use my powers, and I think you can help."
"Alright, but I need to know what powers you have first'
"I am not really sure. I always keep them bottled up. The only part I use is manipulating my natural barrier to gain trust and the like. You know what mean."
"Yes," raven turned so she was facing Katie "I can go into your mind and see what powers you have, but you need to let me."
"okay" Katie took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She felt Raven's blue soul slip into her head. She could not tell what Raven was seeing. Katie stayed very still and kept her mind blank. after a minute or two she felt Raven's consciousness pull out of her and slip back into her body. Katie opened her eyes to see Ravens wide ones.
"You have amazing abilities, but they can easily hurt someone."
"I know they can, that's why I make sure they aren't used." Katie looked at Raven "What can I do?"
"Well," raven began "You have many powers that seem to work separately. You can fly and when your powers are accessed, you glow. By many powers I mean one power that is multi-functional. " Raven got up and opened her curtains. "The only real time you are a danger is when you are afraid. Your power revolves around you glowing. One way it works is a light that surrounds something and can disintegrate it, no matter the density or size."
"Yes," said Katie "I had to use that once."
"Two other uses are the way Starfire shoots star bolts, or the way I move objects. Then the last way is tentacles of light that have no real substance can come from your hands or eyes and they can do anything within reason. They seem to be able to stretch out for a mile at their fullest power."
"Such as..." Katie asked "Such as normal tentacles, that would move things. Or they could shock someone in a way that could knock them out. They seem to have all of the uses your other forms of power have, only this is much stronger and is most dangerous. It is accessed by and overwhelming emotion such as anger."
"So it would not be accessed by happiness or joy?"
"no"
"That is good, I like to be able to feel those emotions without fear of hurting someone."
"Katie, I can help you no more then you can help yourself. I have done all I can. You just need to practice. Now that you know your abilities, you should be able to use them better. The only thing you need to do to use them now is to stop fearing them. Then you should be able to use them easily."
"thank you Raven. You have helped." Katie got up and headed for the door.
"Katie?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad you joined us."
"Thanks raven, me too."
