The Old Man

Dawn, Kory and Rachel walked into the living room of the tower and introduced themselves.

In the living room of the tower, Dawn, Kory and Rachel introduced themselves. "I am Koriand'r of Tamaran," Kory says to the man in the middle of the room.

Rachel crosses her arms as she asks, "Who are you?".

"Oh, child, you have no idea" says the man to her

Rachel repeats her question, "Who are you?"

The man tells Rachel, "I have been called many things throughout my life"

I asked Rachel "How long have you lived"

He replied, "Since the days of Jesus Christ."

He places the coat that he had been wearing on the couch. He was wearing a blue coat. Navy blue was the color of the coat. The phantom stranger pondered the situation he had just been given. They were told to avoid going to see the Hellblazer, so he was charged with ensuring that does not happen. It was never easy for him to get along with people. "I want to know what you want", Rachel says

He says in a booming voice, "Do not go see Hellblazer.". Dawn and Kory murmur as Rachel appears to be growing angrier.

Rachel asks angrily, "There's no need for us not to see Hellblazer."

"And who asked you to tell us?" Dawn Asks

"I am not allowed to say" The Phantom Stranger Says

"Who?" Dawn asks the Phantom Stranger. When the phantom stranger declines to answer

Raven shouts, "Leave!" to the Phantom Stranger. Rachel looks to the other two women that are with her. Having heard what the Phantom Stranger said, she asks Dawn and Kory what she should do. Dawn advises her not to listen to Phantom Stranger and to go see Constantine instead. Kory counsels her not to listen to Phantom Stranger and to go see Constantine instead. Raven responds, "Thank you both.". As soon as the door to the medical bay opens, Garfield walks through it. "Garfield, What are you doing out of the medical bay" Raven asks Garfield.

"What day is it today?" Beast Boy asked out of breath

Raven walked over to him. She responded, "January 19th.".

Getting his breath back, he replies, "I have been gone for two days."

She hugs him and begins to cry "Oh beast boy"

"Is something wrong Rachel," Dawn asks

Rachel says, "I'm just having trouble coping with my emotions."

A smile spreads across Kory's face as she says, "We can tell"

Rachel asks, "What can you tell me?"

Kory replies, "That you are having trouble with your emotions."

"Well, it's been a long day" Rachel says, getting what they are saying.

"Are you sure it's that?" Kory asks.

Rachel says, "I'm quite certain"

Garfield wipes sweat from his brow as he says, "Rachel, I'm hot.". Rachel suggests that he go to his room and lie down. He asks his friend, "Are you coming?". As Rachel cleans up her friend by wiping the sweat off his body, she pulls out a towel. Nightwing will watch over Rachel's friend while she is away so she can solve his problem. He replied, "Okay.". It pained Rachel to see her friend suffering. Sure, she had a toughened exterior, but that was to ensure that she didn't show any emotion. As a child, she was taught that showing emotions made one weak. Rachel had sworn that she would behead the person who had done this to her friend the moment she learned that her friend was hurt. Despite her appearance, she was filled with emotion. As a matter of fact, she was emotionally wrecked. The Light and Dark sides of her were constantly at odds. Garfield and Kory had always made sure she was brought into the light. They provided her with a sense of normalcy.

Dawn asked, "This is going to be disastrous, isn't it?".

Rachel says defiantly, "Yes, but I gotta do this"

"Why do you have to do this" Dawn Asks "I mean, why does it have to be you"

"Since I am the only one who has the skills" Rachel replies.

As Kory looks at Rachel, she asks concernedly, "Are you thinking straight?"

"Yes, I am." Rachel replies. "Why do they keep asking me that?"

"Because you have been stressed lately," Kory notes

"Does that mean I'm unable to think," Rachel asks

Kory says, "It might impair your judgment."

Rachel asked pointedly, "Do you think my judgement is impaired?"

She says, "Um...."

Rachel Says Again, "Are you concerned about my judgment?"

Her response is, "Um..."

Rachel asks again, "Are you worried about my judgment? Tell me now."

As reluctantly as she can, she says "Yes.". As the argument is about to blow up the elevator doors open. "What are u doing here," She asks the man who walks through the door and looks and the mess that is going on

"What is happening?" asks the Man.

"Hello, Garth," Kory says without a hint of kindness.

The smile on Garth's face as he says, "Hello, Starfire."

Kory asks coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Garth asks, "What did I do to you?"

Starfire says coldly, "You gave a minor alcohol"

Garth defends himself by saying, "I forgot that you shouldn't give minors alcohol."

Star says "Ughh" as she looks at Rachel

"What is the matter?" Garth asks

Rachel, scowling at everyone, "We are just arguing about my state of mind"

Would you like me to mediate for you?" Garth asks if he can help.

"Of course," Rachel responds

Kory responds with a "no"

Dawn replies, "I suppose so"

Garth asks, "I would like to know everything from the beginning". Afterward, everyone recounts what happened over the past 52 hours. Raven talks about what happened during breakfast. Star then recounts waking up and Nightwing needing to check on Beast Boy because Rachel had asked him.

Rachel asked, "You're mad at me?"

Starfire replied, "I am not"

"Then why have you been acting that way" Rachel Asks

"What way?" Starfire Asks

"I don't know. I can't think" She Says

"Rachel, what's wrong?" Starfire Asks
