A/N I don't own Teen Titans. I was surprised by the number of people who read this already.


"Father will be pleased. They make for entertaining toys." I looked absently over to where the other leaders were crying, begging to be left free. Their cries only fueled the fire of hatred burning inside me. Snarling I shoved the doctor forward again, not at all concerned he would run away. They all tried it and it all ended the same way. Burning in Hell. Fools.

"We have to get there first," I answered softly. Already I had been attacked by a few shadowy things the monks had conjured. Of course that really hadn't helped them any as I just took control of the things and let them loose inside the cage. Shadows and fire were my stronger points. And making people insane. I grinned wickedly, leaning closer to the man in front of me. "You see them Dr.? See how they cry so piteously for their lives when the lower monks worked to save the children first? That's the problem with you higher ups. You don't give a damn about anyone but yourselves."

"What are you going to do to them?" the man asked, turning to glare at me. I shrugged, idly twirling the sword in my hand.

"Give them over to Father. I have you my dear Dr. You who ruined my life. Tell me, did you ever expect me to come back?"

"It had crossed my mind once, when there were whispers of a whole town burned in flames. Of course that could have been the cause of any uncontrollable demi-Demon." He spat the words in my face. I grinned. Oh yes that had been me. Stupid fools thought I was Satan and tried to kill me.

"So that's what I am hum? An uncontrollable demi-Demon? I suppose that could be true considering I like to watch people squirm as their minds are eaten away by their own imagination." The man shivered with fear at my darker, more threatening tone. I laughed with delight at the sweat trickling down his face, the wild heart beating in his chest. "Oh no my dear Dr. I have something special planned for you. Something very special indeed." The man's face turned a shade paler.

"They're at it again," my darker side groaned with annoyance. I looked at the monks in the circle then down at my sword. Grinning I motioned one of the fire ghosts over.

"Hold him," I commanded, handing over the Dr. The ghost said nothing, merely calling over its buddies to help. My feet took me over to the fiery cage, the walls not touching me as I stepped through them.

"Is there anything else you fools can do?" I asked, surprising the lot of them. Nervously they turned to me, faces pale and covered in sweat. "It's utterly pointless you know. I control the shadows and fire. You have nothing to throw at me." I spat the words, the sword in my hand springing to life. Everyone mumbled nervously as I jabbed the flaming blade at them.

"W-we have t-this!" a small voice squeaked. A young child ran forward, holding a vial of water. I blinked. Holy water? Then the laugh erupted from my throat.

"Child even that can't affect me," I chuckled, smiling with delight. I bent to his level, crazy grin in place. "I'm not possessed at all. It's a part of my heritage." The boy's eyes got wide and I stood back up, turning to the monks. "You begged for your lives while this child was within your mists, innocent and still pure from your stupid teachings. It is not within the human nature to cancel violence from their lives. Yes I'll admit some of the violence is done in stupid cause but it's only a part of who we are. So take your pacifist ways and shove." I bent back down, gently grasping the boy's shoulder. He squeaked with alarm. "I'm going to send you far away from here child. There I want you to start a new life. Do what you will but I suggest you give up these worthless ways." I spat the words again.

"Why are you sending the child away and not us?" a voice snapped out. I closed my eyes and made the boy disappear in a whirl of shadows. "What has he got that we don't?" The voices started rising. I stood slowly, keeping my head bowed.

"SILENCE! You incompetent fools!" I snarled, opening my eyes, all four of them. They shut up instantly. I stalked forward, growl constantly rumbling from my throat. "You call yourselves peaceful. Yet when faced with the fact I've sent a child away you become violent. In the light of your own impending doom you've forgotten your teachings. I'll tell you what the child has that you don't. He has the chance to live, to change his ways! You fools are too old for that to happen now! Even if you say you were to change it would be there! In the back of your mind! Sooner or later you would revert, breaking your word!" I was breathing hard and nearly about ready to go on a rampage. Think girl think! Ah yes, these men were going to Father. The Dr. was mine though, all mine. "No more talking for the remainder of this trip. When we reach the end you may talk, to beg for your pitiful lives at the feet of Trigon." Still growling I walked back out of the cage.

"To a degree even you are kind Zaven," the man said as I walked up. I shooed the ghosts away as everyone started walking again. "What possesses you to do such a thing for a child?"

"You're the cause of it Dr. The cause of my pain. You and someone else. But for now I'll be content with torturing you." I jabbed my sword into the small of the man's back, making him stumble forward. He started walking, probably edged on by the burning sensation. I was glad he had shut the hell up.

Flashback

"Uh huh?" I mumbled, waking up slightly. The warm body that had been beside me when I fell asleep was gone. "Raben? Raben where are you?" I could sense her, just outside my line of sight but that didn't process in my groggy brain. A sob escaped my lips as tears started forming. "Raben? Raben come out pwease!" I started crying.

"She'll no longer talk to you girl," a sick voice filled with hatred snarled in my ear. I gasped in fear as arms wrapped around my waist. The scream erupted from my throat before I could think what was going on.

"Raben!"

Stubbornly I shook my head. That had been years ago but I could still remember every detail clearly. Every single fucking detail. Nothing had hurt worse than that night and I doubted anything else could. Unless of course the same thing were to happen all over again. If it did I would end up killing someone. Of course, I was going to do the same with Dr. but that was going to take a little bit of time.

"She left you know, for Earth," the man ahead of me said suddenly. I snarled and jabbed at his back. "A long time ago. What makes you think you'll find her there?"

"Because I've promised to. And I don't break a promise Dr."
