A/N: I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time, finals are over though and I have a bit of free time on my hands. I posted this on my livejournal a while back, but forgot about it. I thought I would see how y'all receive it. I'm focusing more on Raven's healing powers with this one, as I've rarely seen fics where she gets to experiment with them.

Chapter One

Raven cast a final glance around her to make sure the blinds were closed before teleporting herself out of her office in a swirl of dark power and arriving in the supply closet of what she hoped to be Memorial Bay hospital. She straightened her white lab coat she wore over her blue pantsuit and brushed a silky black curl behind her shoulders. She reached for the small badge identifying her as Dr. Rachel Roth and slipped it in her pocket out of sight.

She placed her stethoscope around her neck and allowed her empathy powers to sense if anybody was making their rounds. It was a late Friday afternoon, however, and she expected the hospital to be lonely for the coming weekend. She couldn't be too careful though, she didn't want to be caught.

Sensing nobody in the corridor she slipped out of the supply closet and began to walk down the corridor of the oncology ward of Memorial Bay hospital. Her powers drew her to a door near the end of the ward. She knocked gently on the closed door and let herself in, closing the door behind her. There was only a single person in the room, she lay on the hospital bed; eyes closed in sleep.

She looked young, probably no older than Raven herself, and she was twenty-seven. She walked around the woman, finally stopping beside her. She took the woman's hand in her own and studied her. She was pretty; around her head was a colorful scarf that Raven knew was hiding her baldness from chemotherapy treatments. Slowly the woman blinked her eyes open.

"Hello," Raven said.

"Hi, who are you?" The woman on the hospital bed asked, her voice was filled with emotion and pain, barely managing to come above a whisper. This woman was dying.

"I'm a doctor, may I heal you?" Raven asked. The woman smiled grimly.

"I wish you could. All the doctors have already tried and failed. I'm going home tomorrow. I'm going to spend my last few weeks with my family." The woman's voice cracked as she said this. "I'm not going to be able to see my baby daughter grow up."

"What's your name?" Raven asked.

"Megan. Megan Johnson."

"How old is your daughter?" She asked. Megan smiled softly.

"She's three years old, her name is Alyssa." The woman said.

"Megan, I'm not like most doctors. I can heal you. May I?" Raven asked. Megan gripped her hand tightly at her words.

"Are you the angel?" She asked desperately.

"That's only what the media calls me I'm afraid. I'm no angel. May I?" She asked again.

"Yes, please." Megan pleaded.

"Close your eyes." Raven instructed and instantly Megan's eyes shut. "This won't hurt, just relax." She continued.

She set her free hand on Megan's forehead, her other hand still clasped tightly in the woman's hand. She summoned her healing powers and allowed them to travel into Megan gradually; slowly flowing more power into her. A familiar blue aura filled the room as she worked. She felt Megan relax as her healing powers wiped away all the pain as they destroyed cancer cells that were focused around her spine and in her bones. Raven's powers erased all evidence of cancer cells, carefully making sure that not a single cancer cell was left. After a few minutes she was done.

"You can open your eyes now." Raven announced. Megan opened her eyes and immediately tears began to well up. Raven was instantly concerned before Megan said,

"I can't feel the pain anymore."

"Well, I should hope not, the cancer is gone. It's best if you keep resting for another week or so, to allow your body to adjust to the healing." Raven advised.

"Yes. Yes, thank you. Thank you so much." Megan whispered; her voice filled with thanks and emotion.

"You're welcome. And I have just a small request for you."

"Anything."

"Please don't describe me to the media or to the police. They'll probably figure out I was here, but I would appreciate it if you helped me keep my identity safe. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to heal other people in need."

"Yes. All right, thank you. Thank you." Raven smiled ever so slightly and began to walk backwards out of the hospital room before turning and leaving the room. "God bless you, angel." Megan whispered as the door shut and she closed her eyes and slept with a smile on her face.

Outside in the hallway Raven could hear running footsteps as the doctor on call realized Megan Johnson's medical status had changed. Before she could be seen she disappeared in another swirl of black power to reappear in her bedroom, safely hundreds of miles away from Memorial Bay hospital.

Night had fallen over the city when Raven arrived in her home again. She shrugged off her white lab coat and draped it over a chair. Her hands were trembling ever so slightly. That healing had taken more out of her than she originally thought. Cancer was always difficult to heal, any disease was really. She sat down on her bed and took a few minutes to regain her strength. Though the healings weakened her momentarily, it was a small price to pay to give someone a second chance at life or spare them the pain of surgery or broken bones.

After a few minutes she stood and walked out of her bedroom. She wanted to make sure Danielle was in bed, Gretta had probably already tucked her in, but she stopped outside Danielle's room just the same and peeked inside to make sure her daughter was asleep.

Her four year old daughter was sleeping, her ebony hair splayed across the pillow, small hands hugging a doll to her chest.

"I just checked on her, Ms. Roth," a whispered voice behind her said. Raven nodded, and after a few moments, closed the door.

"It's late, Gretta, you should be in bed yourself." Raven chided. Gretta was the woman who had been Danielle's live in nanny since she was a few weeks old.

"I thought you might be feeling a little ill, I have some tea waiting for you." Gretta said and beckoned Raven downstairs into the kitchen where there were indeed two cups of tea waiting for them. They sat at the table and sipped their tea for a while before Gretta asked, "So, what miracle should I be expecting to hear on the news tomorrow?"

Gretta knew all about Raven's escapades as 'the angel'. Raven knew the elderly woman wouldn't tell anyone though. Partially because she had been employed nearly five years with many chances to gain the attention of the media, and had refrained, and partially because Gretta herself had been healed by Raven. To this day she no longer had trouble with arthritis pain. Gretta was also the sole person besides the titans themselves who knew about Raven's former life as a teen titan.

"Cancer patient over at Memorial Bay hospital." Raven replied.

"Cancer patient? Well in that case," Gretta began and poured Raven another cup of tea. "I know those healings give you headaches." She continued.

"Thanks, Gretta." And the two sat in silence and drank their tea.

That's it so far, I think I know where I want the story to go, so if you like it, review please and let me know.

Edit: thanks to RobRae5000 for catching a typo, it's fixed.
