As Robin struggled for dominance over her body, She tried to picture all the things important to her. Her parents, her sister, and even Daniel. She had to get control of herself, or everything she'd ever been would go up in smoke.

"What is it?" Daniel asked him.
"Something--" Marcus frowned. "I don't quite know. But I feel something strange. We'd better tread carefully, my young friend."
