50% Pain

All actions have consequences.

I blasted him with a pure beam of energy, knocking him back.

He tried to squash me but I shifted away, flew up to his face, and shut his eyes with my magic. Then I shot a beam again and this time he couldn't fight back. I repeatedly hit him again and again, taking all my anger out on Rage, strangely enough. Then I made a giant ball of light and slammed it down on him in addition to the mighty explosion that followed. I descended to the ground and with the others cheering for me. I let them out and they all came and hugged me. And I didn't hate it. It was nice to have a hug.

Rage fell to the ground and was on her knees at my feet.

What is she begging for mercy after that embarrassing defeat? No she's not.

"Fine. You win." She stood up and faced me.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Robin threatened. Rage ignored him.

"But all the people you've harmed. All of the people you hurt and tortured with your problems. Won't take it anymore."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Their pain is now your pain." Then she turned into a red bolt and jumped from Titan to Titan. Taking all of the pain and worry I put on them from this whole thing, and gave it to me. I felt it all surging through my body. All of this pain was too much. I couldn't even stand when I went back to normal. The others walked to me.

"Ouch...that felt like I was being electrocuted. Not like...I know what it feels like..." Beast boy said.

I'm done. I'm just so done. All of this stupid crap. I'm so done with it all. I just want to go home. So I laid down on my back.

"What are you doing?" Cyborg asked.
"Sending us back out."

In the Real World...

With a loud(ish) zap the others we zapped right into the position they were in before they went into my mind as if nothing happened and no time had passed. They broke their hands as I sat up in the snow.

We all stared at each other. Then I plopped back down on my back and started laughing and making snow angels. Not my style but I don't care.

They all looked at each other, confused, they joined me. We are all laughing and just having fun. When we finally stopped laughing I asked a question.

"Guys, should we go back home?"
"Nah. Let's just stay here for the night and leave in the morning." Robin said.
"Yeah! Let's make snowmen!" Beast Boy suggested

We all got up and I rolled the biggest ball for the snowman. Beast Boy and Cyborg made the middle ball and Star made the head. Robin collected sticks and pebbles for the face and arms.

I stuck them on and we stepped back to look at our creation.

Then his head fell off.

100% Reason to Remember the Name

-----------

It's been 5 months since my demon came out. Every month on the last day it feels like somebody was stabbing me. Which is that pain that Rage was talking about. I haven't told anybody. I don't want them to feel bad. Feel like it's their fault.

"Checkmate."
"Aww Raven. Again? I need to get better at this game." Cyborg said. I've been trying to make up lost time. It's just like noting really happened. Except in battle, where my powers are stronger and I'm kicking so much butt that crime fighting is easy now.

Nothing too serious anymore. Mostly villains like Mumbo and and Control Freak. A few new ones have popped up here and there, but still. Minor threats. I've visited the Titans East and filled them in on what happened. They wished that they could have helped but I told them not to worry about it. I'm fine now anyways.

I flew home as quick as I could because today is  the last day of the month and the sun is going down. It always happens after the sun goes down. I got home just in time. I sat down on my bed and waited for it to happen. And it did. I laid on the bed, out of breath, groping my body making sure that none of those were actually real. Then,
"Hello Raven."
"Hi Trigon."
"You can't suppress it forever Raven."
"Yes I can. Your power diminishes every time I meditate. Soon you will have no power over me anymore."
"I will come back and destroy you."
"Okay." I said sarcastically. I got up and left my room.

This whole conversation keeps happening every once in a while.

He talks to me, I contradict him, I piss him off, then cut him off. That simple.

This is normal now. I honestly don't care as long as my friends are safe.

Sometimes I wish I could just forget him entirely. I know that that's not an option though.  It's just something I have to live with like I did before.
