                                              Raven jumped back to reality, her heart beats going over 140bpm. Beast Boy quickly awoken, and supported her back.
                          "Rae! Are you okay?!" Beast Boy questions his body shaking from the unexpected wake up.
                          "I am... Where..." she tried her best to talk, but words won't come out.
                          "You're in the tower, the nursery." Garfield said, calming down.
                          "It's an infirmary Beast Boy." Raven said with her usual monotonous voice.
                          Beast boy hugged her, and let out a sigh. "You're back." he said in relief.
                          "Yeah... Can you?..." he quickly let go and scratched his head.
                          "Yeah... Sorry jeh..."
                          The team entered the room, all greeting Raven. After that day, Raven's personality was normal, and unfortunately for Beast Boy, she doesn't remember the kiss. 
                          The next day, a team training session was planned by Robin, like he usually does when no one expects one. As lame as it seemed, the team accepted, and heading training.
                          "Star, you're first." Robin said with a stop watch in his hand. "Go!"
                          Starfire dashed around the course, taking a time of 9 minutes, 42 seconds.
                          "Not bad. Beast Boy, you're next!" Robin shouted.
                          "You gots it bro." Beast Boy also did an amazing time, 9 minutes, 52 seconds.
                          "You've improved a lot. Cyborg."
                          "On it!" Cyborg well... He did a nice time, 11 min, 12 secs.
                          "You need more cardio." Robin said raising an eyebrow.
                          "It's not easy to carry 20 pounds of metal per body part..." Cyborg said catching his breath.
                          "Okay. Now, Raven, go ahead."
                          "Okay." Raven also dashed through the course, but somthing seemed off.
                          She stopped half way, and took a rest. Robin stopped the watch, and got close.
                          "You okay Raven?" He asked.
                          "Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine... Just need,a little more... Arh!!" Raven let out a scream, and started twisting on the floor.
                          "Raven!" the rest of the team shouted, approaching her.
                          "Stay... Away... Arh!!" the voice of a demon mixed with hers, as her eyes turned red. "Azerath, Mantiz, Xeriom." 
                          Her body stopped moving, and there was silence. Until a red portal opened just some yards away, and a man in a red hood came out of it, also fainting. The team took both into the infirmary, and diagnosed them.
                          "They seem to be both from Azerath... White skin, almost same height, even their vitals." Cyborg said whilst looking at the graphs.
                          "Who's that guy?" Beast Boy asked, somehow feeling a bit uneasy.
                          "Don't know, we'll ask when they wake up, everyone out." Robin commanded, and so the team left.
                          "Raven... Raven... Raven..." the voices inside her head intensified.
                          "Michael!"
"Raven!"
                          Both of them wake up at the same time, then looking at each other. Their expressions changed, like if they saw a ghost.
                          "This..." Raven started.
                          "Can't be..." He followed.
                          They both submerge into a deep hug, like if they found themselves after a catastrophe, and they wouldn't let go. 
                          It feels so unreal. He's alive. She's alive.
                          We are alive.
