Every Window Shattered

Raven walked the darkened halls of Titans Tower, observing what she'd done. Suddenly, everything flooded back to her. Exactly what had happened.

Raven entered the kitchen, carefully stepping around some spilled food. She peered over the counter, the same counter she had silently crept around earlier that day, and saw Cyborg. He was slumped on the floor, a kitchen knife thrust deep into his neck.

Raven hadn't felt quite like herself for the past few days. She had a strange presence within her, something that made her think and act differently. It hadn't bothered her in the least.

She gently opened the door to Starfire's bedroom and went inside. The alien girl was stretched across her round bed, her face pressed into a small purple book. It was a diary. A small bowl of caramel filed chocolates sat next to her. Raven picked up one of the candies and placed it on her tongue. A bittersweet flavor filled her mouth and she swallowed. Poison, but she immune.

She left the bedroom and headed to the room in which they held the evidence. The strange presence was still there, but she didn't dwell on it long.

Raven entered the evidence room and looked around. She saw Robin, curled in a tight ball in the corner. A bleak frost lay over him, as if he had been frozen then and there. She left, the strange presence following her.

Nothing in the building had been moved or broken. Everything was in its proper place. Still, it felt as if she were walking through a ruin, destroyed and now lonely.

Raven came to her own door. Lying outside of her room was Beast Boy.  His eyes, still open, were wide and afraid. Where his heart had been there was an openly bleeding wound. She glanced down at him quickly then turned away.

Raven walked the darkened hallways of Titans Tower, observing what she'd done. Suddenly, she threw her head back and laughed for a long, long time.
