~"STOP!"~

I jumped awake in my bed.

Ugh, what does this mean, why is this happening. I think this is the only dream I don't remember so vividly, but what's it about? Well I guess its time to start my first day of being 16 years old.

Since my hair won't be loose out until later, imma just do my edges and wrap my head to lay them til than. I put on an long sleave off the shoulder burgundy top with some black leggings and the boots I was gonna wear tonight.

I walk out of my room and into the hallway where I meet up with Cyborg walking down too.

"Hey there, little lady, looking good," Cyborg says smiling down at me.

"Looking good and feeling good dude," I said happily.

"Happy birthday D, specialty breakfast?" Cy asked.

"I'll be fine with whatever you make me," I said.

"That's great," he said.

"Why," I said.

"Cuz I kinda already made you a full meal," Cyborg said as the common room doors opened to reveal a plate of eggs and bacon with two slices of toast, two pancakes already dressed with syrup and two pieces of white bread, and cinnamon flavored waffles with white bread, and french toast with two sausages, and, you guessed it bread.

"Oh my god, you tryna make me fat aren't ya," I giggled.

"What can I say, I like my women thicc."

"No stop."

"What, I'm not lying."

"You know I got a fast metabolism, so even if you gave me lots of food, I'd be skinny in half an hour."

"Yeah, I know but I wanna enjoy the short time your wide around the edges, look I gave you lots of dry bread."

"Cuz the starch goes straight to your ass."

"Yep."

"Ya know, Cy, sometimes I honestly question your intentions, but thanks for the breakfast, even tho I'll probably end up putting most of it in the fridge, or back in the bread bag," I said siting at the table.

"Ha, well I try, so what the plan for today," Cyborg said taking a seat next to me.

"Well after I finish all this breakfast and bread I was gonna see if I could call my sisters, see how they're doing, after I guess I hadn't really thought of that but I wanna tell y'all my whole story not just the little things I always say, ya know," I said taking a bite of my eggs.

"Yeah, and than after the party," he asked.

"After the party, when everyone is asleep I'm gonna furfill my promise to you, to full extent," I said placing my hand on the back of his neck feeling the cold metal on one side and the warm skin on the other. I do this alot nowadays it only reminds me that under all that hard metal there's still flesh and bones.

"Full extent," he said looking me in the eye.

"We're going all the way, with no regrets," I said with a soft gaze.

"That's all I wanted to hear, now eat, you got a lot of food to go through," he chuckled.

"At least help me, you like eating more than anyone," I said offering him a fork.

"I'm not hungry, and this us your birthday breakfast, eat up," he sad leaving me alone with a tables worth of food.

~~~

After I finished eating my food and putting 6 pieces of bread back in the bag, and went back to my room. At this point it's about 10:55 am. I sit down on my bed and take my laptop with a purple covering and division sign in the middle, from out of my draw and open it up.

"Alright video call" I whisper to myself opening that application.

I scroll through the list of contacts until I reach the very bottom where the name 'L & M/home', there it is. I click on the contact and check the location and time it is in, at this point mother should be at work so it seems convenient. I click on the call button and hear the ring.

"Um... hello," I hear the slightly deeper voice of my 10 year old sister and the view of a wall.

"Layci, you don't have to hide, it's me," I said.

"Wait what," I hear as her face suddenly comes into view.

"Hey," I waved.

"Oh my god, Maya come quick," Laycia yelled into the distance

"What is it Laycia," the small voice of my 8 year old sister as she came into veiw.

"Look," Laycia gestured to the screen.

Maya looked at screen and her eyes visibly widened. "Chrissy that you?" Maya asked.

"Yeah, it's really me," I smiled.

"You made sure to call us on your birthday," Laycia smiled.

"Why wouldn't I, you guys are important to me, even if I leave you guys, I won't ever just let you fend for yourselves alone," I say.

"I guess than, Happy Birthday Divide," they say together.

"Thank you guys, so are you guys OK there?" I ask

"We manage," Laycia says.

"That's good," I respond, "hey is that a new scar on your cheek," I said pointing to a scar under her eye but closer to her hair line.

"No! I mean it's been there for a little bit," Laycia replied quickly.

"You better not be lying to me, I may not be with you right now but your still my little sisters, I can tell when something is off," I said.

"We're fine up here, Christian, we hope you have a great birthday," Maya says.

"Thanks Maya," I say.

"We better go before mother gets back and, you know, and that scar below your ear makes you look kinda bad ass," Laycia says.

"Right, anyway bye guys," I said touching it before hanging up. To be honest I didn't know that was there.

Doesn't seem like anything major is wrong, that or they're not telling me, I won't force them to spill their feelings to me but if there was something big going on I know they'll tell me. Maybe, it has been a while.

That was a pretty quick chat, it's only 11:09. I might as well talk to my brother. I walk up to my mirror and swipe my fingers around the edges.

"Hey," he said.

"Happy birthday to us," we say in unison before laughing.

"But really it's more your birthday than mine, your the one thats lived more than me," Chris says.

"Even if, if we have the same birthday it doesn't matter who's lived more, what matters is that we're celebrating another year of being alive, your soul could have missed me and you would have gone up to heaven, instead your soul made its way to my head and you still have a chance at life," I said.

Chris starting slowly clapping, "Well said," he said.

"I'm serious, I'll be able to get you out one day and when that day comes were celebrating all the birthdays you've missed," I said.

"Is that necessary," he asked.

"Not really but 16 birthdays is already a lot, and than there's puberty, your lucky I didn't get many pimples, but it's because I washed my faces like 3-4 times a day," I said.

"Yeah, you'd wash your face whenever you'd get slapped, and for like 10 minutes too," Chris said.

"You know, I can still get you out for a short time, now that I know that I can I don't wanna keep you cooped up in there for long," I said.

"Its okay really, I spent 16 years in here, it's actually quite homie despite everything being white and not having anything in here to entertain me, yeah you should get me out later," he said.

"Hmm, what about at the party, it would be fun, the team would meet you, others can meet you, you can live a little, and I can finally have fun with my little brother," I said.

"You know I'm actually taller than you," he said.

"But technically speaking I was born first," I said.

"Technically speaking my body was pushed out before you," he said.

"At least my body had a soul," I said.

"Well my body had a penis."

"Well my body can carry a child."

"Well my body provides the baby juice."

"What even the fuck is baby juice."

"What the fuck do you think."

"Semen."

"Oh look you have a brain."

"I would hope so or else you would have no housing."

"How did this happen," Chris said.

"I don't know but you never responded to me," I said.

"Oh right, I don't think it's a good idea to let me loose at the party, in your logic, it would be good for people to know who I am, but I think it's better to work on a way to get me out permanently, you were really drained last time," Chris said.

"Ok I understand, but I really want to spend our birthday physically together," I said.

"I do to but there's no other way to get me out that won't drain your powers," he said.

"Well maybe we can do it putting more stress on you rather than me, you did the spell to equalize our powers so if the stress is put more on you, you'll just gain back the energy you lost from the powersurge that allows you to pass through the mirror," I said.

"But than I'll be drained, even if I gain back some of the power it'll take the entire time I'm out of this mirror to gain it back and by then I would've already faded back into your head," he said.

"So basically there's no way to get you out for even the short amount of time without draining either one of our powers," I said.

"I guess so," Chris said.

"There is no guess, it's definitive, either a permanent solution or be weak for who knows how long," I said.

"Right, but we're smart, we'll find a way," he said.

"I know we will," I said.

"C Divide come here for a second," I hear the loud voice of my cybernetic boyfriend.

"Looks like I gotta go," I said turning the mirror back to the way it used to, watching my brother fade back to my head.

I walked down the hall and into the common room where the whole team is sitting there waiting for me.

"What's up guys," I said walking around to sit on the couch.

"We heard you have a story to tell us," said Robin.

"About your past," Starfire said on the other side of me.

"Oh yeah that," I said.

"We're all ears," Cyborg said scooting up beside me.

"I don't know where to start, anything really about my family contributes to how I became this," I said.

"Don't know where to start, start at the beginning," Beastboy said.

"Well I guess I should start with my great to the 7th power grandmother, who had magical abilities, no one knows how she got them but she was considered 'the one' and by that it meant she had control over the family and it was her responsibility to pass on this magical gene to her child, meaning she needed a mate, however that did not happen until her thirtys which is when the female fertility rate drops if a child us not conceived, but she was still able to have a child, that child being my great to the 6th power grandmother that fortunately got that magical gene but with her very normal father she had a lot more limitations to her abilities, and that trend continued where the heir to the magic would have less than before and it came to my great to the 4th power grandmother that ended up not having powers."

"Wait, why are they all females?" Beastboy asked.

"Because my mother's family only breed girls, my mother never had brothers," I said, "Anyways, after my great the 4th power grandmother didn't have powers it was the same for every new born baby after until it came to my mother, the only thing is, my mom didn't know who she had sex with, well she did know, my parents dated for years but it wasn't until my mom was 6 months pregnant that my father revealed his true identity," I paused, "Raven you know anyone with the demon name Annihilator? With dark melinated skin" I asked.

"Yeah, the Annihilator, he's a dangerous one, a powerful one too, one of the most human looking demons in the realm, so much so that he scopes out his victims without changing his appearance, why," Raven said.

"Because that's my dad," I said.

"Wait, but that means... your a half demon... like me," said Raven.

"Yeah, even with a monster literally within me nagging, I have that magical gene, you can tell from my eyes, the blue flakes, the cool color against warm colored eyes, my grand mothers had it and I do too, and y'all know I have 2 sisters, actually I think I told everyone but Robin, I don't even think I mentioned anything about my family to him."

"Well I feel loved," Robin said sarcastically.

"Yeah well I have 2 little sisters, I'm the oldest, one 10 and the other 8, and the 10 year old one has the gene, it's probably really weak if she hasn't discovered it yet, because I found out about my powers when I was 8. I know I have a lot of things to be thankful for being here but I wish I didn't leave my sister's alone with my mother," I said.

"Why, I mean I know you mother was kinda bad but to the point where you can't trust her alone?" Cyborg asked.

"Well obviously since I know all this my mother had to have told me meaning she was relatively good for a period of time, actually she only raised me up until I was 10 which is why I'm scared for my sister, when I turned 10 I felt older seeing as I was then double digits but my mom felt that way too, my mother started drinking alot more than she already did and she was very angry most of time, so for me and my at the time 5 year old sister it was do what she needs or get a beating, in a black family it's normal for a child to get a beating from time to time when they wouldn't do something or needed to be reminded of consequences or decipine but there would always be a certain extent it would go to until it turned into straight up abuse...... my mother unfortunately surpassed that, anything that would go wrong she would take it out on us, 2 years later my other little sister is born and things died down for a time because my mom isn't completely crazy and knows how to raise an infant but we knew it would start back up again eventually, and as soon as my little sister could do things on her own, like walk and feed herself which was 6 years old, things when back to the way it used to."

"Friend, if things were this terrible for you, how were you able to fight and take care of yourself," Starfire asked.

"Well unlike my sisters I kinda took advantage of my somewhat freedom while I was young, I took karate classes that I never stopped taking until I joined you guys, only i had to sneak out most of the time, and like I said I'm the oldest and with the way my mother was being I had to grow up real fast, think rationally, learn to cook, clean find a away to nourish my self and my sisters without my mother getting mad for sneaking food, and we managed quite well, accept for those times where... mother would... beat us for the simplest thing but we managed."

"Well it does kind of explain why you were kinda skinny when you came here," Robin said.

"What? I was not skinny," I said.

"Yeah you were, sure you had a little muscle on your bones, enough muscle to beat me at that, but if we can see the knobs of your bones and the outline of your kneecap, there had to have been something wrong," Robin said.

"Alright I'll admit that I didn't exactly eat the way I was supposed to with my fast metabolism and all, but I wasn't that bad, was I," I asked.

"Well, you were super excited to eat the morning after, and you definitely ate," Cyborg said.

"Alright I was kinda skinny, but that was how I was living for most of my life, it's hard to take care of my sisters and myself while trying to be good to avoid a punishment. I'm strong, a warrior, I pull through," I said.

"And we love you for it," said Starfire.

"Thanks, the reason I'm here now is because my mom struck that last nerve with me and I couldn't take it anymore, I warned my sisters, packed my bags and left, and I still feel bad about it."

"But your 10 year old sister has that magical gene and it obvious you trained yourself to do magic, why can she not do the same," Starfire asked.

"Well unless she didn't tell me, she hasn't discovered her powers yet, and I just know she has them, and her eyes are brown and have pale green flakes, the cool colour against warm colored eyes, for me my powers were a reason to keep going on living, cus I knew I got these powers for a certain reason, if there was no reason there would be powers given out to almost everybody with no soul purpose, and my sisters at a fragile age, she's already received the beatings," I said.

"Well it's only noon, you have time," Robin said.

"What are you saying," I asked.

"If you care that much, I think you should go see your sisters," Robin said.

"But that party starts at 8 and I can't fly that fast and I can only teleport a couple feet at a time," I said.

"Well you did fly here in the first place," Cyborg says.

"Which took several hours while carrying my bag and basically my whole closet, flying on mostly adrenaline," I said.

"Well," Starfire started, "maybe one of us could come with you and take over the flying if you come to an exhausted point."

"The only person I know that could last that long is you and I'm sure you planed at least a little something like I don't know getting me a cake," I said.

"Babe," Cyborg said putting his arm around me, "not even that we didn't do."

"So the plan was literally to waste time until we went to the party and than just go on with our life," I said.

"Basically," Robin said.

"Wow I thought my birthday was gonna be different than any other day, I thought I wasn't gonna hear Beastboy and Raven having sex in the middle of the night," I said chuckling.

"Wait aren't the walls sound proof," Raven says.

"Its hard for it to be sound proof if y'all are fucking against the door, y'all can't even walk 2 steps to make it to the bed," I said.

"Welp," Beastboy said looking down at himself in shame.

"At least you putting those condoms to good use," Cyborg said. At that statement both Beastboy and Raven looking up abruptly before looking at each other. "Right?!" Cyborg asked.

"Ummmm," Beastboy says.

"Beastboy you animal," I say.

"Ok Beastboy and Ravens sex life aside, by the way we need to talk, C Divide I'm sure Starfire is more than happy accompany you to visit your sisters," Robin said.

"Yes friend, I am how you say elated to join you to see your little sisters," Starfire said sweetly.

"I... well... ok, let's do it," I said.
