"I need to lie down," you say as you stretch your back. "We won the matches and everything but I'm still sore all over."

"Alright," Robin says, "we'll be in Ops if you need us."

"Will do," you say as you round the corner.

"I... I could help with that," Raven offers sheepishly as she follows you. "Your soreness."

"Um... H-How so?" you ask, hoping her answer is "a massage."

"Don't get too excited," Raven says as she crosses her arms while smirking. "I just meant, I could use healing magic to ease the soreness."

"Oh," you say. "You know healing magics?"

"A few," she says.

"Well, it'd be rude to refuse," you say. "So I'll accept."

Raven flashes a smile before you and Raven continue towards your room. You open the door and let her enter first. Then once the door is closed, you move towards the bed, but then stop.

"I don't really know what to do next," you admit.

"Just sit on the bed," Raven chuckles.

You nod and sit on the edge of the bed. You find yourself surprisingly nervous being alone with Raven again, and this is after being in the same hotel room for a night.

"Just relax," she says as she gets on the bed.

She slides behind you as you take a deep breath.

"By the way, I was just wondering," she says as she slides right up behind you. "The Mind Link is gone but you didn't do anything to break it, did you?"

"It broke on its own," you say. "I made it like a chain, and any chain breaks when pulled far enough and hard enough. Pantha got on the jet, the jet took off, and the chain broke as easy as yarn."

"Wow, that's a pretty good trick," she says.

"Thank you. So what kind of healing magic were you preparing to use?"

"Empathic healing."

"Really? You know Empathic healing?"

"Well, I am an Empath," she points out.

"True, but assuming such is like you assuming that because I'm British I like afternoon tea."

"But you do like tea," Raven says, "we had some."

"No, I meant the meal," you chuckle, "the 'sit and have tea with sandwiches, scones and crumpets before dinner' thing."

"So, you don't like those?" she asks.

"Well, I'm not particularly fond of them," you say. "But my point is that I didn't want to assume something about you."

"In that case, I appreciate that," she says. "Now, where does it hurt exactly?"

"Um... I know I fell mostly on my shoulders," you say, "but just, all up and down my spine it's just sore."

"Alright," she says as she puts both hands on your shoulder blades. "Just relax, and let me feel it out."

You take another deep breath and feel Raven's hands press in a little deeper. You can feel her magic send a pulse through you, like radar or echolocation. You then feel this... soothing sensation. It isn't like having ice or heat applied, and it isn't a numbing agent at all, either. The pain subsides as Raven smooths her hands along your shoulders, then down your spine and to your lower back.

"Oh wow...!" you say with a feeling of complete relaxation. "That's incredible..."

"Thanks," Raven says with a bit of pain in her voice.

"Raven, are you alright?" you ask as you look back. "I didn't think Ravella hit you that hard."
