I don't own the teen titans. Jackal belongs to my boyfriend Clawfoot. I want to thank my boyfriend for giving me some ideas and helping me get out of some of my writers block.
My name is James Venoc and I am a half demon. I used to be an antihero from where I from, Spellward. I am not good, but also not bad. I do love to cause trouble and help out the minor villains and heroes. My powers are starting to grow more and more; so is my darkness lately, enough where it caught some unwanted attention. I am on the run for my freedom, not from prosecution, but from a group of super criminals who are after me for my power and talents. They want to put my talents and powers to better use and didn't like the answer I gave them. They told me that I will join them willing or by force. I had to leave my home, though a part of me wants to take their offer but my couscous won't allow it because of the dark deeds they will have me do. I travel from city to city, stealing and robing to survive on the run but they always find me because of their connections… but I have one connection that is better: my best friend Jackal who is in Jump City. I contact him a few days ago to get in touch with him on how things are going and a place where we can meet but before we can agree on a place to meet up, I had to disconnect because the villains are trying to patch in on my signal. The darkness is growing in me every day, I hope I can get to Jump and Jackal in time before the darkness consumes me or the villains capture me.
Night falls on jump city when a fresh face arrives. A weary traveler with a sack over his shoulder, road dust covering him from head to toe. A black cloak fells over his muscular body to hide his appearance as if he is on the run from someone and doesn't want to be noticed. The figure, James Venoc is half demon what stands six feet tall. His ruby red eyes moves across the street, scanning and searching for hidden dangers, fingertips resting on the hilt of his swords as he scans. His jet-black locks coming around his rugged features making his gray skin tone look even darker. Underneath his cloths hides a set of clothes that are very badly ripped, shred, and torn from his travels and fighting his way to get to jump city to escape the group of people who want to capture him for his powers and abilities. Lucky for him that he is powerful enough to fight them off and to get away. The only reason why he travels to Jump City is to see his friend Jackal. Being roommates would be fine but he prefers to have his own place. Jackal and James relationship is very, very complex and can be very frail sometimes. The best word to describe is frenemies. Still, he knows that Jackal would never turn down a friend. James sighs as he wanders the streets of the city.
James walking the streets for a good while, before he pauses to rest. He unclips his water skin from his belt to drink whatever water is left. A woman screams behind him. James very quickly turns around in time to see a young woman in a blue cloak being thrown in his direction. Before he or she could react, their bodies collided and tumbled over and over on to each other as they rolled across the road until they are a big tangled mess of legs, arms and cloaks.
"Get off of me!" Spoke the woman, trying to untangle herself from him.
"You crashed into me! Easy with the legs and arms!" Replies James, both of them still a bit stunned from the impact. Still tangled, they stare at each other with shock, embarrassment and curiosity like they never seen another half demon before and the way their bodies are positioned and tangled. They are tangled in a very awkward position where they are afraid to move to get free in case they may touch something they should not touch. James does not mind being tangled with this woman but has a place to get to and more ground to cover. He starts to move to untangle himself but in the process, brush his hand against something he should not have, earning a kick from the cloaked woman.
"OW!"
"Watch your hands or else i will give you more than a kick!"
"I did not mean to touch you. I can't see where my hands are! I can cut us free."
"I don't know you or trust you."
"Have any better ideas?"
After a bit more bickering, touching and arguing, they finally free themselves. Both are a bit fluster and a bit turn on. As soon as the woman got free, she takes off in the direction where she came from. Curiosity moving to the forefront of his mind, James follows after her, easily keeping up. Sounds of fighting fill the air. Hands went to his belt and draw out his two swords. The woman freezes and turns around to face him with her hand cloaked in dark energy.
"I want to help." James speaks, lowering his blades into a less threatening pose.
A man appears behind her and grabs her. Jolt runs through her body freezing her body up, unable to move except her eyes. The man looks at James with a smirk.
"Let her go! Undo what you did to her right now!" hiss James as he flashes his sharp canines at the man. James knuckles are white as he grip his swords handles.
"I did not know that Raven had a boyfriend or interested in brooding guys. What the matter? Don't like me touching your girl? Well the name's Johnny Rancid, and I don't take orders from shits like you!" sneers Johnny Rancid as his fingers creeping across Raven's breasts, toying with her nipples through the cloth before creeping down to between her legs to stroke there a little bit. Raven lets out angered hisses and growls. She feels Johnny pulling the bottom of her leotard to expose her pale slit to the air before he dip one of his fingers in her, roughly pumping her a bit.
Raven is gritting her teeth. This can't be happening to her! Trying to wiggle her hip or doing anything to get him out of her but she can't move her body and what worse her body is responding to Johnny's sick touch! Raven looks at the stranger who in front of her, her violet eyes pleads him to help her before this sicko goes any farther.
James is boiling with anger on how Johnny is treating Raven, couldn't take it anymore and launched himself at the villain, twisting his body so that he manages to punch Johnny in the face, away from Raven's paralyzed form. The men are rolling on the ground, punching and kicking each other. They are tearing at each other clothes. Ruby eyes are glowing angry red and hissing like a pissed off animal, James give Johnny a powerful kick to send him flying eight feet away. Johnny back slams against the wall, knocking the wind out of him for a few seconds before he recovers and quickly gets to his feet, and not a second too soon or his skull would been crushed under James fist. James fist is bleeding, but didn't feel the pain or notice it. The villain is impressed with this man but also feels very threatened by him. Maybe he teased him a bit too much.
Johnny slams his fist in James' muscular abdomen. James doubles over in pain. The villain takes this time to pull out his guns and point them at James' head. Giant paws came out from James' shadow to seize the guns and try to point them in other places beside his head and other parts of his body that will kill him. The trigger is pull several times and James let out a roar in pain. Blood is rushing out of the wounds in his arms and legs. Fighting to stay conscious, the half demon wrestles the gun away and violently pistol whips Johnny until he appears to be knocked out. Looking down at the comatose villain, James turns his attention back to Raven. James weakly limps over to Raven, pulls the outfit back into place to cover her exposure and use the last of his magic he has left to unparalyze Raven instead of healing his wounds.
James starts ripping at the cloth at his pants and cloak to make bandages to help stop the bleeding, exposing more of his muscular toned body. Raven, after regaining control of her body, begins blushing a bit as she sees more of James body, before controlling her wandering thoughts and helping to secure and tie the bandages onto the wounds. James is weakened and woozy by the amount of blood he lost. But that not the worst of it, Johnny is already starting to stir! Johnny looks at Raven and the weaken James with a wicked smile as he rises up, spitting out some of the blood in his mouth as he begins to approach them with a gun in his hand. James quickly toss down a smoke screen with a flash bang built into it, so they could use get away. Johnny scream in pain as the light hurt his eyes covering them as he tries to keep his aim on where he last saw Raven and that interfering punk. Sliding under James arm for support, Raven half support and half carries James as they run for their lives and dodging bullets as Johnny is shooting at them through the thick smoke curtain. The two spell casters ran for a block and a half when they stop to rest. James is amazed on how strong this young woman is. When James and Raven thought they were in the clear; they were attacked by villains in black body suites and masks out of nowhere.
"Fuck, I thought I lost them! I will tell you what going on once we get to a safe location." said James as his eyes got wide with anger and fright as they barely dodge the attacks. The villains are trying to separate them since James can't move fast or well without her aid. They know he will be easy capture if they keep them separated long enough. Raven tries to stay close to James as much as she can. Raven blast the villains back, sending them all flying in different directions. She not is going to let them touch James; especially not after he saved her. Raven looks over at James, finding him semi-conscious and half struggling to stay alive. They have to get to the tower's sick bay but first she needs to alert her team.
"You are not getting away this time James. This time we going to corrupt you and the girl. " Purrs one of the villains as one of them pull out a syringe of dark liquid after she brush herself off. The other villains get to their feet quickly. Raven quickly pulls out her communicator.
"This is Raven! I have eight villains surrounding me and have an injured civilian who the villains are interested in. He lost a lot of blood and badly wounded. I am going to teleport him to sick bay. Be ready for our arrival!" said Raven.
Cyborg remembers hearing of a report of a new group of villains corrupting a group of unfortunate officers. The corrupted officers killed the others except one officer who survived by playing dead. The survivor said that they left with the villains. He hopes that Raven and the civilian will make it to the tower. The Titans race back to the tower to meet Raven and the civilian in the sick bay.
While trying to focus on her magic, Raven picks up James and tries to carry him but that is extremely hard to do if you have to carry someone bigger than you and dodging attacks. When she can't dodge the attacks anymore, she opened a portal to the Tower's sick bay under them. As Raven and James fall through the portal, a villain very quickly tosses a syringe of a dark unknown liquid at Raven. Raven's violet eyes got huge as the syringe hurls at her. The cloaked titan reflect the syringe with her cloak just in the nick of time but in the process, loss her communicator. A soft bed cushions their fall with Raven landing on top of James's naked chest with his strong muscular arms wrapped around her as he pass out from exhaustion and blood loss. Looking up, Raven quickly seals the portal behind her so the villains can't get in, before letting out a sigh of relief that they managed to escape. Returning her attention to her patient, she blushes slightly as she finds the predicament they are in. As much as she wants to break free from his grip but she don't want to disturb his wounds and she is exhausted herself. That means she has to stay in in arms covered in James' blood until he wake up or if her friends come to the sick bay. This isn't her night tonight!
Meanwhile in the reaches of Raven's mind, Nevermore, the emioclones are stirred up by the events that just taken place. They all are chattering among themselves as they look at James.
"Be happy Raven, you got your own giant teddy bear. He is cute! I think he likes you!" Giggles Pink Happy as she watches James cuddles with Raven like if she a soft silky Goth pale teddy bear.
"He is so big and strong. What if he may crush us on accident?" whines Gray timid as she looks at James muscular arms and how they pin Raven to his body.
"He is cute, and quite a fighter! He mopped the floor with Johnny! I will help out if his hands wander." Said Green Bravery.
Scarlet Passion is looking at James body with need and hunger as she rubbing her hands over her body. Yellow Knowledge is looking James over with interest. She curious what knowledge he holds and why he carry so many pouches on his belt along with metal weapons. Who was that group and what they want with James? All questions will be answered in the morning when James wakes up.
Raven flinches as she heard her Emoticlones replies, silencing them all in her mind. For now, all they needed was rest. Slowly, she felt her heavy eyelids begin to close, grateful for the embrace of sleep so she could block out the trouble of today, a tinge of peace in her heart being in this stranger's arms.
Feel free to give me feedback and ideas.
