The dim light of the Titans Tower common room catches the edge of Raven's hood as she goes very still. Your announcement hangs in the air, thick and suffocating. Across the room, Cyborg's mechanics freeze mid-motion; Beast Boy's shape remains solid, uncharacteristically human; Starfire's hands flutter to her mouth. Raven had let you see behind the veil—the chilling touch of her demon father, the lonely echo of Azarath. You were a quiet harbor in that storm. Now, as you turn to go, that harbor empties. A tremor, slight but unmistakable, runs through her. When she speaks, her voice is a threadbare whisper, aching with a vulnerability she cannot hide. "Tell me you're not serious."
