"It's so cold…" she whispered.

Raven lay on her mattress, shivering. The temperature in her room had dropped and she had not been provided with any kind of blanket. Her teeth chattered and she was curled in a fetal position. She was unable to recall how much time had passed since she'd been in the asylum.

She wasn't able to recall why she had been checked in at all.

It had taken every last bit of her willpower to forget all over again. This was the norm for her. She no longer questioned Henry's harshness toward her. The only thing keeping her from defying him was the shock collar around her neck.

But she couldn't find a reason to defy him or anyone else for that matter in the first place. She simply did as she was told.

Her door opened minutes later and Henry walked in. As usual, he unlocked the chain around her ankle.

Raven stood up, walking out of her room toward the cafeteria. Henry followed close behind, not saying a word to her.

Once she arrived, she received her tray of food and water and sat down. Her eyes were dull as she stared at the casserole in front of her. Elliot no longer sat with her. She had requested that he leave her alone and after several minutes of him trying to remind her of who she was, he had given up and decided to leave.

Her heart was empty as well as her mind. She chanted her silent mantra in her head to prevent herself from jumping to delusional thoughts.

She no longer saw color. Her world was black and white. Nothing made her feel alive anymore. She was unable to feel sad about it since she couldn't recall what it felt like to be alive.

Raven ate her food slowly, unable to taste the mixture of the rice and vegetables. She rarely finished her food and often pushed the tray away after 3 bites.

This time was no different. She slid the steel tray across the table and watched as one of the patients took the tray to salvage off the remains. She mumbled something in her native language and stood up.

She met the dark eyes of Elliot, whom had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall. He stared at her intently.

The sorceress blinked slowly before turning her attention toward the bathroom area and walking toward it.

Once she was inside, she studied herself in the mirror. Her body had taken on a sickly gray color and her eyes, which once held the color of a deep amethyst, were now dull and appeared lifeless. Her reflection appeared to be scowling at her.

Why are you acting like this?

Raven sighed. "I don't know what you mean. I've always been this way."

Liar. You KNOW why.

"I have no memories outside this asylum," she answered dully.

You and I both know you do.

"That's your delusion, not mine."

You have a family who cares about you.

"I have no family."

There's someone out there who loves you.

"I, myself, don't even know what love is."

Yes you do, because you love them too.

"It's always been me, and that's how it's going to stay."

Robin. Think of Robin. Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, anybody.

"Those names do not mean anything to me."

There was a pause. Kilowatt.

Raven stared at her reflection for a long moment, not batting an eye. "I don't recall anyone with that name."

Before Raven could listen to any kind of response, she swiftly turned away and walked back out into the cafeteria.

Her eyes met Henry's and with a swift head movement, she understood it was time to go back to her room.

She walked up to him slowly and he led her back to her quarters. She expected him to chain her up and leave as usual, but she felt something was off.

Once Henry was inside with her, he turned around and locked the door.

Raven's eyes widened slightly, unsure of his actions.

Henry turned around slowly, his gray eyes filled with lust. "You don't remember anything, do you?" His tone was condescending.

Raven didn't answer, as she was still confused as why he had locked himself inside with her.

His eyes traveled down her body slowly and in that moment, Raven understood.

She took a step back and glared at him. "Don't touch me," she growled. It had been a while since Raven had felt any type of emotion. She could feel her heart beating in her chest.

Henry took a threatening step toward her. "I'm going to do more than just that, don't you worry," he said darkly.

Raven shook her head. "No. I won't let you," she said shakily.

He smirked. "It's not like you have a choice…" he pulled the remote out his pocket. "If you even think about using your powers or trying to resist, I'm going to shock the life out of you."

"You might as well kill me now," she breathed. "I'd rather die."

"But where's the fun in that?"

He lunged for her and grabbed the bust line of her dress. Raven yelped in fear and tried pushing him away. "No!" she screamed.

He didn't bother silencing her. He pushed her roughly against the wall, placing his arm above her neck as he started lifting the bottom of her dress.

"No! I don't want this!"

"Go ahead and keep screaming…it won't do you any good." He started unbuttoning his uniform.

Raven's eyes glowed white and she bared her teeth at him. " I SAID NO." Her voice became demonic and she attempted to take hold of the mattress nearby in order to throw it at him. However, before she could concentrate, she felt the familiar shock course through her veins.

She screamed in agony and he let her fall to the floor as she writhed in pain. She closed her eyes and just before she passed out from the pain, it stopped.

Henry stood over her, amusement in his eyes. "I didn't want to…but you were asking for it. You'll be a good girl now, right?"

Raven felt tears stream down her cheeks. She couldn't fight him. There was no one she could call to for help.

She shuttered as he felt his hands on her again.

She closed her eyes and sobbed silently as Henry continued to touch her.

He knew he was dreaming, but he couldn't stop the pain in his heart as he watched Raven sitting alone in a white room. He had called out to her several times but she ignored him.

"It's about what you saw, isn't it?" he asked.

Raven didn't acknowledge him. She stared passed him, her eyes lifeless.

"Raven, listen to me! I'm sorry! Truly, sincerely, sorry!"

For the first time, Raven finally made eye contact with him.

Kilowatt gazed into her eyes longingly, waiting for a reply, or any type of acknowledgement.

He watched in horror as a single tear slid down her cheek.

"Raven…"

He felt his eyes open and he sat up in his seat. He was back on the T-ship. He was seated in his own area on the ship with Victor controlling everything. He noticed Robin typing furiously into the monitor in front of him.

It was dark and he turned his mic on. "Hey, Vic?"

Victor had his back to him and he spoke into his mic, "Hey, finally awake, huh?"

"Yeah…um, where are we?"

Cyborg checked the monitor to his right. "We're not too far outside of Manhattan. We should be there in another hour or so."

He nodded. "Sounds good…"

Richard came on the other end. "Is everything okay?

"Worried," Kilowatt replied quietly.

"We all are," Richard commented. "But we'll be there as soon as we can. We'll save her."

Charlie sighed. "We have to."

Victor spoke, "Alright, relax you two. Don't stress yourselves out now. We need all the energy we can muster right now."

Richard nodded. "We don't know what's in store for us when we arrive."

"Would they hurt her up there?" Charlie asked cautiously.

There was a few moments of silence before Richard answered, "I'm not sure…but I'm not ruling out the possibility entirely."

Charles groaned, balling his hands into fists. "What have I done…"

"Hey man, don't blame yourself. You weren't the only one who left her behind," Vic murmured.

The 3 men didn't speak the rest of the trip.

By the time they arrived, it was early evening. Victor landed the ship a nearby field just on the outskirts of the city.

Cyborg stepped out, stretching. "We made it," he said solemnly.

Richard nodded. "It's…been a while."

Charles stepped out, feeling something spark inside him. He gasped a little, surprised at the feeling.

The former Robin turned to him. "Is everything okay?"

"I don't know," Charlie answered. "I just…felt something. I can't explain it."

Victor shrugged and pulled out his phone to call Gar.

Richard nodded. "You must be anxious is all," he suggested.

"Y-yeah…" he felt the feeling in his head become more apparent. He closed his eyes and tried to ignore the feeling.

Victor had a short conversation with Garfield about their arrival before hanging up and walking up to the 2 men. "Ya'll ready to find this place?"

Richard looked toward the city. "I know where it is."

Victor didn't say anything as he went toward the cargo area and opened it. It revealed all of their bags as well as his T-car in the large ship. "I guess that means you drive then, right?"

Richard nodded.

Kilowatt stared into the city, now understanding the unusual feeling in his head. It wasn't just a headache or his anxiety. No, he could feel that there was something wrong. Raven needed their help, his help.

Richard turned the car on and called out to Kilowatt, "Are you coming?"

He turned around, concern in his eyes. "Raven's in trouble."

Richard's eyes furrowed beneath his mask. "How do you know?"

Charles took off in a sprint toward the vehicle. "I just know, we have to hurry," he said through gritted teeth.

Victor sat in the passenger seat, worried about Charles' sudden outburst.

As soon as Charles was inside, Richard took off and drove quickly toward the city.

Charles was doing his best to calm himself. "She's…I can…feel how scared she is," he admitted.

Victor looked at through the rearview mirror. "You said that you communicated with her before…not only can you hear her, but you can always sense her feelings…"

Richard glanced at him. "Is there any way you can tell her we're on our way?"

Kilowatt shook his head. "There's something blocking that…guys, I'm terrified right now."

"Calm down," Richard said. "We'll find her. We'll save her."

"We have to…" Charles whispered.
