Statue
-BeastBoysPOV-
What happened the previous night played across Mar'i's red canopy. Starfires smile, the bundle dropping, Ravens face.
My thoughts of last night as to this silent morning had changed very little. I had failed as a husband and as a father in a matter of seconds, regardless, I'm still a father.
Mar'i's my daughter. She's always been my daughter, I haven't realized it before but she is. And Raven, Ravens her mom, Cyborg the almost-as-funny-as-dad uncle, Starfire- Starfire is... She's...Mar'i will have to decide that.
Raven, my thought voice changed from optimist to despair, will she?...Raven...
The sun shined in my eyes. Forcing me to start my day.
-CyborgsPOV-
"Victoria's...gone?"
"She was weak and gave away." Starfire flicked her hand.
"Okay." I acknowledged, pushing my fingers through a basket I was weaving which made it collapse onto itself. The room went still. She got skittish. "Aren't you going to cry? Mourn? Be angry?" The back of her icey fingers grazed across my forehead. "No," I exclaimed, looking into her eyes, "I'm done with emotions." I watched for her reaction. "Especially after what you did to Donna, that was the last straw."
She bent down to eye level, her hand now on my head like a dog. She was smirking. We kept our gaze for a moment longer.
-RavensPOV-
Bruce stared at me with his light blue eyes. I couldn't sense what he was feeling. I didn't want to sense his emotions.
"Raven." Slade nodded towards me. I warned you, and looked what happened, he thought, not directly towards me but I'm allowed to be a little sneaky with reading minds sometimes, aren't I?
-SladePOV-
"I know it's my fault." She looked me in the eye. "I could've made it so I was sent to Russia years ago, or Japan, maybe even to Atlantis. I could've sent her to another dimension, I could've sent us to another dimension." She shook her head slowly, looking down. "I don't know why I didn't, and now I can't." She squeezed her hands into a fist.
I leaned forward, pressing and interlocking my hands together. "What do you mean you can't?" It came out a little more edgy then intended.
"I can't." She turned her head away and spoke quietly. "My powers..." She glared at us through wet eyes. "They're gone."
"Non-sense. They're stunted. They're not gone." I argued and leaned back into my chair.
"This has happened before, Raven." Bruce added calmly. "You've beaten it before. You can and will do it again."
"And what if I dont want too?! This plan we're having wont work! She's too strong! Its my fault he died and now its my fault she died. im causing everyones deaths! I'm a murderer!" She was yelling, crying out. "Kill me! Kill me now!" She collapsed onto her knees, holding her flushed face. She kept begging, silently crying there in front of us. "I can't cause Garfield's death too."
Bruce and I looked at eachother, both of us in a state of shock. We've never seen Raven like this. The closest I've seen her like this is when Dick died, and then there was that moment afterwards...
Starfire really did a beating on Raven.
It was back when the world was a little okay. There was different teams and different sides. The Justice league, the Teen Titans, Birds of Prey. Those were the good guys, the bad guys, we had all sorts of things that always failed. Groups, groups of villains never work out, that's why I was always alone. That's why I always got away.
On the other hand, groups of heroes always seemed to work out for the best. They get out together or stay together, die together. Brave fools.
The one time I joined a team and it caused Dick Grayson's death and the most powerful alien to rise and take over, that's what I get for joining a team. A hell planet with no one cracking jokes.
