[David Lance POV] Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

I had no idea what was happening. All my life until now, I thought I had what I had, and that would remain, and now, all of a sudden, I have developed a new superpower. Just how much I didn't know about Black Bolt? And on that matter, was that power even connected to him in the first place?

Or was I a mix of more than one hero when it came to powers?

Hopefully not. The last thing I need is getting another power that will royally fuck me up; I have more than enough, with my voice being what nukes wished to be, for me to get another ridiculously destructive power.

[Aqualad - Kaldur'ahm POV]

"Is... he okay?" Kid Flash asked.

"He's concerned about this new... ability of his," Raven answered as Black Bolt continued to sit in total silence, tuning everyone out.

"Why? That power seemed exclusively beneficial," Kid Flash replied, tilting his head ever so slightly to the right as he looked at our leader, his eyes conveying how worried he was, and I couldn't blame him.

"I don't like agreeing with DoorDash over here, but he's right. That power seems to be exclusively beneficial," Artemis said as she crossed her arms, "So what's the big deal?"

"For a self-proclaimed genius, you are very dense sometimes, man," Robin sighed as he turned to face Kid Flash. "One of his powers has the power to level countries like it's nothing. Now make the connections."

"What does that have to... Oh, I see," Kid Flash muttered, finally realizing what our leader was thinking. What if I get another power like that one?

"And now I feel dumb," Artemis muttered under her breath. "Note to self, if you feel like agreeing with DoorDash, you are probably being dumb."

"Yep," Robin shot back with a grin.

I like that one. Sometimes, less is more when it comes to names.

Sighing, I turned around to grab a bottle of water from the vending machine in the middle of the hallway, only to see Raven walking toward me.

Forgetting about the water, I turned around and quickened my pace, but the footsteps behind me kept pace with mine. "Don't you dare!"

Suddenly, as I was about to press my pace even more, I felt my body freeze under the hold of Raven's magic. Caught with nowhere to hide, I felt as I was spun around by my captor, now finding myself face to face with Raven.

Seeing my hands were not bound by her magic, I signed, giving her a beaming eye smile. ~Why hello there!~

Raven narrowed her eyes on me. "Since when do you try to avoid me?"

~Me? I would never! I just wanted to stretch my legs, you know, go for a little walk, that's all,~ I replied with an innocence that would rival that of a Disney Princess.

"Uh-huh, sure," Raven said, not looking convinced in the slightest. "Try again."

I mentally cursed as I tried to come up with an answer that wouldn't incriminate myself. ~I was just thinking about tomorrow and how to improve the training session. You know, leader stuff.~

Raven stared at me for a few seconds, her face in a complete deadpan, before she finally sighed, shaking her head. "You're a terrible liar."

~I would never!~ I replied, channeling my inner drama queen to appear utterly offended, and by that, I mean I was channeling my inner Oliver Queen.

"Normally, I would trust you to manage this as I have done before. However, this time your concern feels different, so I will intervene," Raven replied, keeping her eyes on mine. "You have two options, you either talk with me about this, or I will put a curse on you that will make all fast-food you touch disappear. And yes, that includes hotdogs."

I gasped internally. ~You would never!~

There was no spell for such a thing; I mean, why would there be? Right?

"Try me," Raven replied, her eyes still boring into mine.

Well, she finally did it as she promised she would when I blackmailed her with her reading choices some time ago. She said she would find a way to blackmail me like I had blackmailed her, and she did. Bravo to her, bravo infuckingdeed. ~I recognize game when I see it, so you win; I will talk about this with you, but can you at least let me go? This is really uncomfortable.~

It felt really weird not being able to move at all.

Raven stared at me for a few more seconds before finally releasing me from her hold. "Very well."
