"Raven! Hold the building up!" The Boy Wonder screamed.

Raven ignited her powers from her fingertips. A black shield came forth which held the building, and stopped the debris from hitting the citizens. Cinderblock was on a rampage and somehow the fight had lead into a mall. This had brought destruction to some of the building's pillars causing the ceiling to slowly collapse. The main priority was to evacuate civilians, while Cyborg and Beast Boy held off Cinderblock.

Starfire quickly followed suit of her friend. She flew next to Raven, holding the ceiling with her monstrous strength while the rest evacuated the mall goers.

"This is most disturbing." The Tamaranian spoke "I thought that the 'going to the mall' would be most enjoyable…" Starfire said struggling to push up the ceiling.

"Nothing about the mall is fun Starfire…" Raven said in her usual monotone manner. However she was struggling under the weight of debris. The weight only increased with time and she can see the tiny cracks form in her shield. She held back her panic, knowing that once she did her powers would surely cause harm to the mall inhabitants. Unlike Starfire, who had her super strength, Raven held everything based on will and concentration. Concentration that was slowly dwindling as people screamed past her.

"Friend Raven, I do not think I can hold on much longer…" Starfire said as drops of sweat dripped down her orange skin.

"Starfire, just a little longer-"Raven sentence was cut short when her shield gave out and debris started landing on her. After that it all went blank.

Raven knew she was awake. She heard rustling around her and heavy clanks. The smell of fresh linen and alcohol filled the room. By her guess she was in the infirmary. Raven tried not to frown at the thought of needing medical attention. Why was she there?

Raven tried to think back; yes, debris had fallen on her. She was holding up a ceiling and her concentration gave out. Then after that everything went blank. However, she should have healed by now from whatever injuries she obtained. Raven finally frowned, why didn't her demon powers kick in when she needed them the most? Raven got up and swung her legs on the edge of the medical bed. She tried opening her eyes but found that she couldn't. Her hand reached her face only to find a fabric wrapped around her eyes. Raven grimaced, what happened?

"Rae!" She heard a voice that could be no other than Cyborg.

She felt a strong hand on her shoulder. Cyborg was worried, extremely worried. His emotions hit her like a ton of bricks and she felt sorry for herself. Feeling sorry for herself was not an emotion she like to dwindle on, especially when the emotions were not her own. She scowled, why the hell was Cyborg so worried?

"Friend Raven, you are awake!" She heard Starfire voice chime in, not hearing her footsteps. That woman barely walked. "I am so happy to see that you are awake" She kept her cheery disposition but something in her voice said something was wrong.

Soon she heard slight dragging of feet that she figured belonged to Beast Boy. However, he did not greet her, feeling a strong wave of regret coming from the green trickster. Afterwards, she heard strong assured footsteps that creeped up right beside her. It must be Robin she thought and she relaxed a little from that fact. He would tell her a straight forward answer. Robin's hand reach up to her other shoulder and give a tight squeeze.

"How are you doing Raven?" Robin asked.

Raven sighed a bored sigh "I am fine. I rather be released, my power will heal my wounds." Raven touched the gauze that was wrapped around her face. "Get this device off my face. I will go to my room and meditate."

"Raven…" Cyborg spoke up" I don't think that's a good idea…do you remember that happened?"

Raven felt herself roll her eyes out of instinct "Cinderblock."

"He did a number on the building. You and Starfire were holding it up. But you guys were no longer able to hold it and-"

Robin cut in "You got hit with the debris and were seriously injured."

Raven held her breath keeping her emotions at bay. For some reason, tension and frustration were radiating off of Cyborg and Robin.

"Well…you were knocked on the head pretty bad…." Cyborg started "Beast Boy was the one who pulled you out of the rubble…"

She felt everyone's gaze turn to what she thought was Beast Boy's general direction. Beast Boy stood quiet and she heard the faint shuffles of his feet. The shuffle was so unsure. Not something she would have expected from her green friend. He would normally gloat at the thought that he had saved her. Her face remained neutral not sure what to think. All she wanted was to get the bandages off her face and return to her room. No injury could be enough for her to be stuck in the infirmary. And why the hell did she need bandages?

"Fine, but I would like to remove the bandages."

"Raven…" Cyborg let go of her shoulder and let out a sigh. Cyborg turned to face her and adjusted the gauze carefully. Raven heard rustling and soon she felt something cold press against her face. She heard the snipping of scissors as Cyborg carefully cut it open. Raven felt relieved, the darn thing was getting itchy.

"Don't open your eyes just yet…" Cyborg instructed. She did as she was told, not daring to open her eyes. Cyborg dipped a cotton ball in blue liquid and proceeded to wipe Raven's eyes. He frowned at the slight trials of blood that plagued the corners of her eyes. She winced at the feeling not quite used to the cold. "You can open them"

Raven slowly opened her eyes hoping to see the worried faces of her friends. What she got instead was nothing. Absolutely nothing. No faces. No room. No light. Just complete darkness that resembled the very pits of hell. She gave a slight frown feeling herself blink. What kind of dark magic was this? She heard a light bulb explode in the distance.

"Raven, calm down…" Cyborg try to calm her using a soothing voice. The next thing she knew she felt something drip into her eyes. She held them shut feeling tears run down her face from the burning sensation. She blinked the tears away. "I'm going to run a test…" Cyborg tried to say as comforting as possible.

Cyborg grabbed a light and flashed it into Raven's eyes. He did not see her amethyst orbs dilate or retract. That was indeed something to cause alarm. Cyborg held his breath and tried to keep his emotions in check. If his empathic little sister sense his panic, the whole tower would explode. "Do you see anything?"

"No." She said deadpan

"Perceive any light?"

"No…."

Cyborg shut off the flashlight and held his breath. He was worried about this. The knock to Raven's head from the debris was bad enough. Beast Boy had to sniff Raven out of the rubble. What he got out of the concrete and steel was a very unconscious Raven. Her head was bleeding profusely and she had not responded to any of their ministration to wake her up. From a quick examine her eyes looked bloodshot.

They rushed her to the infirmary giving her quick medical attention. The wound in her head was healed about two hours after she arrived. However he was more afraid were the area she obtained the wound instead wound itself. The bloodshot eyes only strengthen his theory but he had hoped he wasn't right. He looked at Robin who had his arms crossed against his chest. Cyborg was trying to hold back from yelling at the guy.

He stared at the remainder of his team who bowed their head in defeat. They all hoped it wouldn't come to this.

"Raven, I'm afraid..." Cyborg tried to swallow "You...sorta...became blind."
