Chapter 5
"Kory, I know this is a really stupid question, but why do you still love me?" Raven asked, as Star helped her to climb back into bed.
"I will always love you, Raven. No matter what you do. No matter what wrongs you may commit, I will always love you." Starfire vowed.
"That's not what I'm asking, Koriand'r. I'm asking why? Why do you still love me? Answer me that. Please, just answer me that."
"I still love you because you have done nothing wrong. You are still the same Raven of Azarath I knew four years ago."
"No I'm not. I'm not the same person you fell in love with, and you know it."
"That is not true. You are still Raven, the woman I love, no matter how much you may have changed on the outside. Now, please try to get some rest. I shall be right here when you awaken."
"Why me? Why not Robin? You know he loved you, probably still does, for that matter."
"I do not love Robin, I love YOU. Now please my love, try to sleep."
And the sorceress did just that. She turned over in bed, and fell fast asleep.
"Koriand'r, please make the pain go away! Please!" Raven begged.
Koriand'r watched in horror as Raven's body began to transform. Raven's skin began to turn from its pale color to red. Her limbs began to lengthen, and she acquired a second set of eyes just above the first. Finally the sorceress fully transformed.
"How long? How long did it take me to transform?" Raven asked weakly.
Starfire looked at Raven's clock. "Half an hour."
"Half an hour? It felt like an eternity." Raven said.
"This does not make sense. Why did it take you half an hour to transform? It normally takes you only a minute." Starfire wondered.
"No idea." Raven said as she stood and began to walk to the door. She began to sway dizzily before collapsing to the bedroom floor. "I guess I'm too weak to stand on my own." she said as Star hurried to her side.
"No, you are not weak. You are just dizzy, that is all." Star knelt and lifted the empath, holding her close to her body.
"Star, why am I still in pain?"
"I do not know, Raven. Perhaps it is because your body is still recovering."
"Got anymore of that Tamaranean ale?"
"Yes. But I think I know something that may work even more quickly than the ale."
"Oh, and what might that be, Koriand'r?" Raven inquired.
"Tamaranean acupressure. Now please try to remain still." she then laid the empath/demon on the bed, and began to gently press her long fingers into the girl's skin.
"Ow! Koriand'r what are you do-?" Raven's query stopped as the pain ceased.
"Better?" Starfire asked hopefully.
"Much. Thanks."
"I welcome you. There are few problems that Tamaranean acupressure will not solve." Koriand'r informed.
"Star, let's go get something to eat?" Raven suggested, sitting up.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea!" Star exclaimed joyfully.
The two women began to leave the room. "Starfire, I need to sit down." Raven said urgently, as they entered the living room.
"Certainly, Raven." Star said, leading her to the couch, which the empath quickly sat herself upon to keep from hitting the floor before passing out.
"Koriand'r, what happened?" Raven inquired after regaining consciousness.
"You fainted, Raven." Star told her.
"Why?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out." Robin answered, butting in.
"Yeah, Ray, you just passed out." Cyborg said.
"You were just sitting on the couch and then..." BB did an imitation of a fainting fit, trying to make their current problem as comical as possible. No one found his little act at all amusing.
"I know," a small feminine voice said from the corner.
"You know what, Terra?" Robin asked.
"I know why the demon fainted."
"Oh, and why was that?"
"Because Robin, I poisoned her. I poisoned her when I stabbed her."
"Why? Why would you do such a terrible thing?" Starfire demanded.
"Because, I was told to."
"By whom?"
"Well that's an easy question to answer, Star. I was told to do so by my boss, I believe the demon knows him well. You know Slade, don't you demon?"
"You work for HIM!"
"Yes demon, I work for Slade. And he wants to see you right about now!" as soon as the word "now" escaped Terra's lips Raven and Starfire vanished from the Tower to reappear somewhere else completely. Converting /tmp/php6yukez to /dev/stdout
