Katie's training was hard for everyone but Katie. They would throw everything they could at her and send her through the obstacle course. However, whatever they did,she defeated it with almost no effort at all. The only thing that slightly challenged her, was when Raven attacked her.

Raven's powers were closer to a demon's so they had a certain determination in them, but Katie still won easily each time.

"Ok," Beast Boy huffed "I don't think that training her this way will do anything."

"Yeah dude! She could kick all our butt's with her eyes closed!" Cyborg said, "Now, excuse me, but I really need to go recharge." He trudged off to the tower

"Wow! really? I feel great!" Katie said hovering above Beast Boy.

"Katie," Raven floated over to her "We aren't challenging you at all, this is supposed to be challenging. The only thing I can think to do now is research."

"How will research help me train?" Katie asked touching down so she was standing.

"I mean, we need to find out more about others like you, children of the Omen. If we can, we might learn more about your powers and that way, even if we can't challenge you, you will know more about yourself and where you came from."

"But...How will that help me. I don't get how reading will help me." Katie insisted.

"You need to understand this, all that training is, is gaining an understanding of what you can do. Because you are so powerful, training you physically will do nothing. So instead we need to give you an understanding of your powers some other way." Raven looked at her, trying to see if Katie understood

"Oh, so... training in books and training in obstical courses accomplish the same thing? Well then why doesn't everyone have their head in a book?"Katie was still puzzling over things

"Because," Raven started walking back to the tower "Not everyone will have books about themselves, the way I do."

Katie followed her and they were quite as they walked to Raven's room.

Katie was thinking over how everything made sense. Raven's mind was thinking over which books will have information that will be helpful to them.

In Raven's room they walked over to the large bookshelf. Raven skimmed over the titles, pulling out a book every now and then. After the entire book case was looked over Raven sat the seven books she had pulled out on her bed.

she handed one to Katie, and picked up one herself.

"Here, I need you to look for information. depending on the book, what we need will be a subcategory of demon and then under Omen. Or, if it is a book on demons, it will be a subcategory of Omen."

Raven began flipping through the books, finding what she needed and then reading instantly.

Katie opened her book and looked at the table of contents. She opened the book to the section on demons and then found the subcategory for Omen. Then she skimmed and found the part about their children.

'Because the Omen are a dying race, there are not many children left in the universe. Commonlyy, when an Omen finds a planet with compatable females, they willattemptt to sire many children.'

Katie paused, "Raven?"

"Yes?" Raven kept her eyes on the book

"Are Omen always boys?"

"Raven glanced up, "No, but if a female is born, she is normally killed quickly. Female Omen can pass on more power then male Omen."

"Oh," Katie looked back down and kept reading

'When a child is born, they will not show any sign of power until their fifth year of life. Children of Omen have many possibilities for power that are not restricted by their father. The types of power follow a very regular pattern. They are as follows in order of weakest to strongest power:

The ability to master any weapon easily. 13 out of 20 children have only this power.

The ability to fly. A very general power that 19 out of 20 children have.

The ability to shoot light from their hands and eyes. 9 out of 20 children have this power.

The ability to move objects with light. 11 out of 20 children have this power.

The ability to disintegrate objects with light. 5 out of 20 children have this power.

Having all of the above abilities. 3 out of 25 children have this power.

The most powerful of the children have all of said abilities that are stronger by 100 fold and they have identical of light that can support any weight and can do almost anything one can imagine. 1 out of every 1550 children will have this power.'

Katie stopped reading.

"Raven?"

"Yes?" Raven looked up

"You need to read this last part right here." Katie handed the book to Raven and pointed.

She watched Ravens face that betrayed no emotion.

"This is good," Raven said, putting the book aside "We need to see Robin."


They brought robin to the training room and Raven handed each of them one of Robin's poles.

"Robin, I want you to attack Katie as hard as you can." Raven said

"We already did this, she will win." robin said. Katie just stood there looking down at the pole in her hands skeptically.

"This time she isn't going to use he normal power, We saw something in a book and need to test it." Raven said, stepping back.

Robin huffed a sigh but got into stance. Then he started attacking. Katie reacted by raising her own pole and she blocked all of his blows. Then you could almost hear the click in her head as she blocked his attacks. Suddenly she was able to see his moves coming and calculate exactly where he would be open. She was all over him, and he was being bumped again and again by Katie's restrained blows from her fists, feet, and pole. Robin was put on the defensive and then the fight was over, Robin was on his back with her foot on his throat.

"Whoa," He said, taking her hand and getting up. His eyes lighted up at the challenge.

He grabbed two training samurai swords and threw one to her.

Then Robin pounced on Katie attacking again. this time, the fight was even shorter. and once again, Robin was disarmed and on his back.

Every weapon they tried, Katie beat him until he was down in under a minute.

"I give up." He huffed and sat down

Katie smiled. She was excited at her new found power.

Raven stepped forward, a tiny smile on her face.

"lets get back to our books and see if there is anything else."

Katie smiled and flew off after her.


Katie picked up a new book and skimmed through until she found more about Omen. She read it thoroughly, but it only held things they knew already.

She picked up an new book and the same was true for that one. She lifted the last book, about demons, and opened it to the section on Omen. She found the part about the children and began to read.

'children of Omen can be very powerful. Powers are inherited in every case, the strength varying. There are rare cases where an Omen will mate with a female who somehow passes on nearly 99% of all power to the child. In these cases, the child is able to turn into an Omen through certain unspecified means. The way to identify these women is very challenging. they are always the same as other women of their race physically, but have a slight genetic mutation that makes them different. It is assumed that the way these women get this alteration in their genetic makeup is that they my have a slight trace of demon or Omen in them. In such a way as that they might be the eighth generation of a family with one demon or Omen blood relative. normally the only way to identify these women are their eyes. Their eye color will change with no pattern or reason.'

Katie stared at these words. A memory from her early childhood flew into her head. she remembered a young girl asking her what color her eyes were and her moms eyes. Katie remembered very well that when she thought hard, she did not know what color her mothers eyes were. She kept on remembering a different time when she saw her mother's eyes, and each time she thought they were a different color. She read the last sentence on the subject.

'However, there is no way to guarantee that the child of these women will be such powerful beings, though female children are always less common and more powerful then males.'

"Raven, read the last paragraph of this page." Katie handed the book to Raven

Raven's eyes went across the page again and again as she read. She looked up at Katie.

"This is really interesting, what can you tell me about your mother?"

"I don't know which color her eyes were." Katie said

Raven nodded, "I think we've done enough research."
