When I woke up, I saw I was in the sickbay. I tried to sit up, but found my arms and legs tied tightly together, restraining all movements. There were cuffs around my wrists as well, but what really got my attention was the glowing blue metal over my hands.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" I whispered. Nothing happened. I groaned. These were specially designed for blocking off my powers. I was utterly powerless now.

I could barely make out the sounds of voices coming from outside the door.

"Hello?" I called. I heard my voice echo down the halls, and knew it would carry to the main room. Instantly, it fell silent.

The door slid open to reveal a very bruised, limping Robin, followed by Cyborg, whos has bandages all over the human part if his head, Starfire who has a cast around her left arm, and finally Beast Boy, who had a black eye, a cast on his ankle, and even a neck brace. None of them looked too happy to see me.

Beast Boy growled at me and moved to stand in the corner, Cyborg crossed his arms and stared down at me, and Starfire 'Humphed' and turned her back to me. Robin walked to the side of my bed and glared down at me.

"Raven." He said in an cold voice.

"Robin" I said with a icy tone.

My eyes flickered around to look at the others. I knew what was going to happen now, but I still didnt want to accept it.

"I'm so sorry guys" I said with as much remorse that I could muster up. Which wasnt alot. In truth, I wasnt.

They pushed me to it.

They used me.

They hurt me.

I never felt my fathers influence slowly ease its way into my conscience.

'Aww c'mon Raven. You know you dont mean that. Just end them already' It whispered. I felt my face slip in a psychotic grin.

"Raven? Whats wrong?" Robin asked cautiously.

"Why, nothing at all dear Robin" I said with a sneer. Immediately, he started backing away. The other Titans moved forward and I saw Robin press a button on his belt. I screamed as the metal and cuffs started to burn. It felt like I was being branded.

My eyes burned red again and with a hellish scream, I tore the blue glowing metal apart.

Immediately, the Titans lunged for me, Cyborg holding a needle, Starfire moving to restrain my arms, and Beast Boy.. Beast Boy lunged for my throat.

His fangs were extending and his claws sharpening. His face elongated and grew green fur. His pupils dilated to mere dots, and hids eyes dyed into a never-ending black. The beast was present.

His sharpened teeth came ever so closer to my throat, but on instinct, I threw my arm up. I screamed in agony as he bit down on my arm. Blood began running down the wound and coated my leotard.

The beast's eyes widened and looked at the crimson stream. He back away as I curled around it. My demon was long forgotten now.

Rage replaced it, twice as strong as I was hit by the urge to kill this animal. My powers wrapped around the beast and began to close in around him.

I watched him thrash and snarl until my powers shielded him from view. He let out a piercing scream as my power got tighter and tighter.

Just as I was about to finish him, I was thrown to the side by a blue beam of light, and a green explosion. I flew across the sickbay and slammed into the steel walls  head first.

I sat up with a snarl and my second pair of red eyes opened. The Titans looked worried, but also enraged. I had hurt their friend. But they are too blind to see, that he hurt me first.

They were too blinded to see.
