Nora's Big Mistake Ch. 30

Finally, even though she is shown perfectly capable in handling herself in close-quarters combat, Raven is still the most physically frail of the Titans. She lacks any of the peak physical-conditioning that someone like Robin possesses, and her durability is roughly on par with that of an average teenage girl. Thus she has to rely on keeping her distance from foes or creating shields to protect herself from damage, otherwise she will be quickly and easily be taken out of a fight.

Thanks in large part to her vast and versatile set of powers and skills, Raven is capable of handling herself at any range in combat, however she is most comfortable as mid to long range bombardment and support.

When a fight breaks out, Raven tends to hang back behind her team and use her magical abilities to either hurl large, heavy objects such as cars or boulders at enemies, or fling spells at them. She can even use her telekinesis to simply grab enemies and leave them hoisted in the air, or fling them around like rag dolls, causing immense damage while giving them no chance to retaliate, although she tends to only do the latter when sufficiently pushed.

She lacks in durability compared to the rest of her team, thus making close-quarters combat far riskier for her. Her spells and magic also tend to require some prep time, with her having to recite her incantation, Azarath Metrion Zinthos, in order to use them. This further incentivizes Raven to stay back and allow her teammates to draw enemy fire and give her the time she needs to utilize her powers.

That said, she is shown to be far from helpless whenever an enemy does close the distance to her, and can usually fend them off with finesse and technical skill. Her close-combat fighting style is also far more defensive compared to the rest of her team, with her usually opting to block or evade enemy attacks, then retaliate with kicks or open palm strikes.

Furthermore, she is shown to be able to use her Soul Self to augment her physical strikes, either increasing their raw power or adding slashing damage to them. While Raven is shown to be quite intelligent, she doesn't appear to have much of an apt for strategy or tactics in battle like her teammates Robin or Cyborg, instead opting to rely on brute force application of her powers to pummel enemies into submission.

Overall, Raven can be best described as the "jack-of-all trades" of her team, boasting a powerful, versatile set of abilities that allow her to be adept at whatever situation the Titans find themselves in, and serve as a valuable asset to her team.

Despite her relative fragility compared to the rest of her team, Raven boasts extremely powerful defensive capabilities, due to just how well her powers are geared towards defense. Her darkness shields are practically impenetrable, and allow her to tank almost any attack her enemies throw at her, provided she can see it coming.

They are also extremely versatile, as Raven can alter their size and shape to suit her needs, whether it be quick, small ones to block oncoming melee strikes, or a large, protective dome to shield herself from all angles of attack. If this isn't an option, or if an enemy gets too close to her, she also has the option of using flight/teleportation to create distance and reposition to a different angle of attack.

That said, her defense isn't flawless, as Raven only possesses average, or above-average reflexes, it is possible for her to be caught off guard by fast opponents, or with tricks she cannot see coming, such as when Robin managed to blind her with a flashbang. Red X was also able to take advantage of her limited reflexes by teleporting behind her darkness shield and leg sweeping her before she could react to the threat behind her.

This makes keeping her distance from enemies and staying behind her teammates an important part of her defense, as it most effectively allows her to see attacks coming and act accordingly.

As support, Raven is unmatched in her team, as her vast, versatile powers allow her to provide many useful benefits to her team. In that respect, when fighting villains, Raven very much functions as the "glue" that holds her team together and allows them to overcome almost any obstacle that obstructs the Titans from their goals.

Her darkness shields cannot only be used to defend herself, but also be used to protect her teammates from oncoming blows, or catch them in the air should they sustain a serious hit. She can use her telekinesis to cut off escape routes for her enemies, or use it to create restraints for them so that law enforcement can apprehend them. Her flight, ability to phase through walls, and empathic abilities all make her excellent at tracking and reconnoissance, rivaled only by Beast Boy. She can also use her Soul Self and teleportation to transport teammates (or anyone else she wishes) far more effectively than Cyborg can with his T-Car.

Finally, she is able to heal most injuries her teammates sustain and allow them to go back in battle far sooner than they otherwise could, however she only rarely uses this ability and is never shown using it in battle.

Here spells and incantations were the following:

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos": Main incantation and mantra commonly utilized by Raven to help focus, control and enhance her tremendous yet dangerous mystical powers, usually followed by projection of visible dark energy and any of a vast number of feats; if Raven is prevented from uttering this incantation, at times she apparently is unable to activate her powers; also used by Raven and others in meditation.

"Necronom Hezberek Mortix!": A form of wild, uncontrollable but incredibly powerful dark magic taught to Raven by Malchior disguised as Rorek.

"Hezberek Et Morine...Gost Wenthen Verbis Nex...Ind Obrium, Bis Pendrule...Paran Sic Cortis Rex!": An extremely potent spell taught by Malchior to Raven to revoke the binding enchantment that sealed him within Rorek's enchanted book; performed within a ring of open tomes and volumes while simultaneously gesturing over the spellbook that contains this spell, causing the books to shine with blinding white light which will enfold the one in mystical captivity and release him within seconds.

"Aldruon Enlenthranel Vosolen Lirus-nor!": A curse more ancient than Malchior himself used by Rorek to entrap him into his enchanted book by projecting a stream of white energy that overpowers Malchior's fiery breath and locked his entire being, body and soul, into the book, a lock neither Rorek's own magic over a millennia nor Raven's own powers before her training could unravel or bypass; Raven uses the same ten centuries later through her dark energy to again seal Malchior into the book.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Carazon Rakashas Enderez...Vaserix Endrien Azararth...Azarath, AZARATH!": An incantation utilized by Raven while sitting in a circle of magical sand from two flasks in her possession and a ring of lit candles around the circle, with bluish-white light pouring from the ring of sand and forming into a cylindrical barrier that reaches all the way to the ceiling of Raven's room, opening a swirling vortex-portal, which will bring Raven into a dimensional tunnel leading directly to Azarath, with this tunnel still susceptible to Trigon's attacks, though a magical seal will bar out all threats; Raven claimed even Trigon could not prevent her from "leaving", at least thus).

"The gem was born of evil's fire, the gem shall be his portal, he comes to claim, he comes to sire, the end of all things mortal": An incantation used by Raven to summon Trigon.

"Ciro...Enyawd...Vasarix...Zinthos...Metrion...Azarath!": A spell from a passage in one of Raven's spellbooks, which she believed would reverse the effects of the damaged mystic gem of the Master of Games, which had showed great chaos amongst the Titans by switching their powers and costumes with one another; however, instead it caused even more chaos by further changing all the Titans, including her, inciting such ire that Raven was forced to flee at speed in order to escape their rage-fueled clutches.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Kalazon Racashos Endarath...Vasirix Zendrien Azarath...Azarath!": A spell used by Raven, spoken while opening a mystic door in her bedroom in Titans Tower, leads at first into a white void, then into the dimension Azarath exists within.

She also had some mystical artifacts and magic books as follows:

Raven's mirror: Raven has a sinister-looking hand mirror, which is a portal into her own subconscious mind.

The Book of Azar: an ancient book from Azarath having some connection to the peacefully pacifist monk Azar, which came into Raven's possession and was carelessly used by Larry to fly around the living room of Titans Tower, to Raven's displeasure and her angry claims "The Book of Azar is not a toy."

Magical Lore: Raven possesses affinity for mysticism and occultism, and has numerous magical items of an occult nature and an extensive library dedicated to sorcery.

Spellbooks: She can also read runes, which is the written language of magic, and cast increasingly powerful spells inside certain spell books she has in her room. One of her large spell books even contained an extraordinarily strong "sorcerer" trapped within one of its pages; whom she was determined to work with and release into the real world.

Meanwhile, Starfire flew off towards the building nearby. Her real name was Koriand'r.

Starfire is said to be a very pretty girl. She is tall with bright orange skin, large green eyes with light-green scleras, and small rounded eyebrows. She has straight, shiny, waist-length, fiery-red hair with short bangs.

She had a average body, natural 34C breasts, tattoos of stars and a bird on her lower back, a lion symbol behind her ear and various piercings. She also had a 19.5 inch long cock.

Her uniform consists of a sleeveless violet crop top, a violet miniskirt, a silver belt, and thigh-high violet boots with silver soles and bands at the top. For armor, she wears a silver gorget with a round green gem embedded into it, silver gauntlets with green gems over the backs of her hands, and a silver armband on her upper right arm.

As a Tamaranean, she has alien physiology, which includes a long violet tongue and nine stomachs (possibly for storing food during meager times). She also seems to resemble some Japanese girls, inheriting similar eyebrows and very shiny hair.

She had the following powers:

Tamaranean physiology: All of Starfire's superpowers are native to her extraterrestrial species of the Tamaraeans. Though outwardly humanoid in appearance, she has several biological differences, like having nine stomachs, reddish hair and eyebrows, and very pale orange skin. All of her abilities are tied to her emotional state, and generally can only be triggered when a specific emotion is focused on; because of this, her powers can be weakened or compromised when she is in emotional turmoil, like when she lost her ability to fly due to depression.

Ultraviolet energy projection: As a result of being experimented on, Starfire can project incredibly powerful bright green-colored energy from her hands, activated by righteous fury. Her energy attacks produce both thermal energy and highly explosive results on contact. She can augment the effectiveness of her punches by surrounding her hands in energy, and she can also use this method to weld or carefully burn through obstacles with contact from her hands. A chiming sound is heard when using her star bolts.

Star bolts: Starfire mainly discharges circular bolts of pure radioactive energy, which are usually launched as thrown circular projectiles.

Light generation: Starfire can intentionally use her powers to illuminate a dark area.

Star bolt waves: She has also been shown to shoot this energy in the form of waves from her hands.

Star bolt shields: She can erect a strong defensive energy barrier and force-field around herself.

Star blasts: Starfire is also able to shoot her energy in the form of powerful and large blasts from her hands.

Laser-eye beams: After going through the Tamaranean version of puberty (a process referred to as the "Transformation"), Starfire gained the highly useful ability to emit beams of her bright green energy from her eyes. Though not as powerful as her regular star bolts, these beams can be fired continuously in a steady stream, are more precise in direction, and also give her the element of surprise for when her hands are restrained. They seem to be slightly larger than Blackfire's eye-beams.

Starfire's extremely strong and more destructive starbolt blast known as the big bang.

Faster-than-light flight: By feeling unbridled joy, Starfire can achieve wingless flight under her own willpower faster than light itself. In space, she can travel at nearly light speed, and her superhuman strength is not diminished when airborne.

Superhuman strength: Starfire is immensely strong. While the true extent is unknown, she is shown over four times stronger than Cyborg himself, she was seen effortlessly lifting with a single hand twice as much as what Cyborg struggled to with both hands. According to herself, is able to use her enhanced strength by using a feeling called boundless confidence.

Superhuman agility & Superhuman Reflexes: Starfire possesses highly advanced agility and reflexes. Her natural fighting skills are much greater when in conjunction with her superhuman reflexes, durability, and agility.

Superhuman stamina: Starfire can remain awake for long days at a time before tiring out.

Superhuman endurance: She has supreme physical endurance; she was capable of surviving the most severe of snowstorms, but eventually wears down her endurance.

Nigh-invulnerability: Like all of her kind, she is immune to most physical harm; capable of surviving a massively powerful explosion without taking much damage; as such she has bulletproof skin.

Radiation immunity: Starfire is naturally immune to high levels of radiation.

Space survival skills: Starfire can survive in the endless vacuum of outer space without the need of a spacesuit, as she can breathe and move normally in space.

Language assimilation: As a Tamaranean, Starfire can replicate all the acquired spoken knowledge of languages from other life-forms via lip contact; a process known as "the transfer of knowledge." To which, she gains as much fluency in the dialect and idioms as the target, but she still retains her natural accent grammar. Her current known languages are: Tamaranean (native), English (from Robin), Japanese (from a stranger), and Spanish (from a stranger).

Superhuman metabolism: Starfire has nine stomachs.

She had the following abilities:

Warrior skills: Due to the warlike nature of her homeworld, Starfire is well trained in the martial arts of hand-to-hand combat and unarmed combat.

Hand-to-hand combat: Although she is not as skillful as her older sister, Starfire is an expert in high-levels of Tamaranean martial arts, being skilled enough to take down numerous Gordanian soldiers while her upper body was bound. She is also skilled in various fighting styles of hand-to-hand combat, such as kickboxing.

Archery skills: She is also versed in some weaponry, using a short bow and arrow at one point with little effort like Speedy.

She had the following weaknesses:

Starfire, like many Tamaraneans, is allergic to metallic chromium. It gives her flu-like symptoms, and when she sneezes, she unleashes explosive star bolts out of her nose and mouth. Also, her powers are largely affected by how she feels, as Robin learns; if she is feeling down or confused, her abilities become severely diminished.

Like all Tamaraneans, she is not immune to her own energy blasts. Using her self-sustenance and resistance to extreme temperatures takes a lot of energy so she cannot survive forever in space. She also does need to breathe through her self-sustenance can delay that for a while.

Because of her naivety, it is easy for certain people to take advantage of or betray Starfire, where she is lured into a trap and almost eaten by a hungry alien. Although few have exploited it, Starfire's relationship with Robin can be counted sometimes as a weakness. Once, it was inadvertently exploited by Killer Moth when he wanted Robin to take Kitten to prom, which angered her beyond rational thought other than to protect Robin.

Like all Tamaraneans, Starfire's powers are controlled by her emotions. If she has certain feelings, she cannot use her powers. For example, when she was mad at Robin for offending her, she was unable to fly temporarily. Also, as Raven, she was unable to use star bolts or fly for a while because she could not feel the joy or anger needed to use them.

It is also shown despite being able to survive in the cold vacuum of space, Starfire is vulnerable to snowy climates and will succumb to their bitter temperatures over time.

In battle, Starfire is most comfortable as the the mid-range artillery of the team, a role she largely shares with Cyborg, although she also has the role of aerial assault/air superiority thanks to her ability to fly. When a fight breaks out, she tends to hang back and hurl star bolts at her enemies while airborne, making it even more difficult for enemies to attack her. When on the offensive, Starfire will often use her star bolts in conjunction with her flight to execute "bombing runs" where she will fly above enemies, blasting them with volleys of star bolts, then fly away back into safety. In addition, because of her flight and speed, Starfire excels at taking on airborne threats, allowing her to keep the skies clear for her teammates.

Whenever an enemy gets too close or the situation calls for it, Starfire also functions as a close-range bruiser thanks to her strength and durability, again, much like her teammate Cyborg. Her strength allows to deal devastating blows to villains, pummeling them into submission quite quickly, while her durability allows to tank whatever hits her enemies deal to her without much problem. Starfire is arguably the least tactical of the team. While by no means unintelligent, Starfire generally does not employ much strategy in battle outside of using her raw strength and firepower to obliterate enemies, when left to her own devices.

As support, Starfire is generally lacking, although she has some utilities that allow her to benefit her team. These generally stem from her flight, as she and Raven are the only two team members who are capable of flying naturally. She is often seen hurling her teammates at villains, allowing them to get close quickly and easily, or catching in mid air after they have sustained a serious blow. Arguably, Starfire's most important utility is her kind, bubbly personality and warm-hearted nature, which does wonders in keeping up the morale of her team and helping to dissolve potential disputes between its members. Whenever a teammates is upset, or feeling down, Starfire is usually the first one to give them emotional support, either by trying to cheer them up or resolve their problem. Without her caring, kind-hearted presence, the Teen Titans and their friendships are shown to completely fall apart. In that way, Starfire can be considered the "heart" of her team, always working to keep her friends together and helping to nurture healthy relationships between them.

Terra and Wonder Girl didn't feel like playing. They just wanted to make love with each other.

Terra's real name was Tara Markov. Terra was a thin girl with fair skin, big blue eyes, and black eyebrows. Her hair was straight, blonde, and waist-length. Just like Raven, she lacked eyelashes. Sometimes when using her powers, Terra's eyes and hands glowed a bright yellow.

She had an average body, natural 32DDD breasts, tattoos of two lines on left ring finger, and a 19.5 inch long cock.
