(A/N: So yeah, this chapter is pretty short. :( But don't worry, I'll post the next chapter tomorrow or even sooner if you guys want it that way! :) Oh and just a question, since this story will now take a different track from the previous chapter, would you want like a sort of crime-solving story for the Teen Titans? I had plans to make one (but with a lighter and more comedic, Pushing Daisies-esque approach) but only if you guys are up for it. Or maybe they become a crime-solving team based on different shows, and they can't get back to their own show until they solve a certain crime. Haha what do you guys think? Well anyway, it's just a thought. Tell me if it sounds interesting :)) Or if you'll read something like that.
Oh well, on to the replies!
ahsokalo: Thank you! And yeah I already replied to your PM, but yes thank you for being awesome and I hope you are doing well too! :)
acrobats they tumble : Thank you huhu you make my heart swell. You are just amazing as always! :)
Rhetorical-Questions : Thank you! And don't worry, you'll get your wish at the end of this chapter. Hihi ;)
TheBeatles141 : Thank you! And you never know, there might be a serial killer on the loose in your neighborhood. Hihi. :)) Just kidding. Only time will tell but I must warn you, it's not who you'd expect! And it's amazing, you're a Beatles fan! I am too huhu I just love them :(( I actually attribute Maxwell's Silver Hammer to this story. I'm not sure if you get the connection but yeah :))
Jinx : I think I know who you think the killer is, and.. well.. As what Raven will learn in the following chapters, not everything is as straightforward as they are in the textbooks. Things are far more complicated than what they seem to be, and it will only be revealed in the next chapters. And well, I keep on doing these dark-themed stories because I believe that these characters are pretty complex, and have different facets, that we can explore. Which is pretty much in line with DCs upcoming Forever Evil Event. Hihi. People's motivations have always been something that has fascinated me. Why do people do certain things? What makes a person evil or not? And the goal of Number 1 Zero is to actually make you question who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Well of course, that will be further pursued with the next chapter and the upcoming sequel but yeah. Sorry I digressed, but I hope that cleared things up! :)
TheDreamChaser : Huhu thank you and I love you too! I hope you enjoy this story as well!
And now, on to our chilling story! Tell me if you want the update sooner! :)
(1): Oh and btw, this now mentions the name of Dr. Will Graham from the series Hannibal. Just a little background (and he's actually sort of the same character from The Red Dragon.) He's a teacher at the BAU Headquarters in Quantico. He has the gift of pure empathy, which is sort of similar to Raven's powers. But the difference with him is that he uses it to catch killers, and sometimes he can't distinguish himself or his emotions from the killers. So in this story, the FBI invites Raven to maybe help him understand his powers of empathy, and to learn a bit of crime-solving as well. Here's an image of what he looks like, because he's played by the handsome Hugh Dancy (just take out the spaces) you can ask me questions if anything else isn't clear.

THE (UN)KNOWN SUBJECT
A Teen Titans Fanfiction
Chapter 2: Hatefuck
"If I put my hands around your wrists And there will be no tenderness
Would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth
Would you bite them?
So many things that I would do
If I had my way with you.
No tenderness
And there will be no tenderness
No tenderness
I will show no mercy for you
You have no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask
Love me mercilessly
Love me mercilessly"
- The Bravery
"So Rae, what did you do in Quantico?" Cyborg asked as he took a big bite of his slice of pizza. He sat beside the scowling Robin, whose arm was still around his girlfriend, Starfire.
Raven noticed that her leader was gazing intensely at her, and her heart was racing with assumptions as to why he was looking at her in that way. But she pushed all those fears aside when she finally looked at Cyborg to answer his question.
"They had a investigator there that is an empath just like me. His name is Will Graham. (1) They thought that we could help each other use our gifts to be able to catch killers and keep our sanity intact. So I attend his classes and learned more about profiling while I taught him how to separate himself from the unsubs. It's been a great learning experience, and I'm glad to be able to help him out too." She explained as she took a sip of her coke.
"So.. you spend most of your time there.. with this Mr. Graham, right?" Robin asked through clenched teeth.
"Yeah. I help him out through his other problems as well. He's hopelessly in love with one of his colleagues, and I'm trying to help him sort out his feelings." She replied, instantly picking up what her leader was insinuating, and shooting down the thought at once. Why does he even care? He's already got a hot supermodel girlfriend right beside him. She thought bitterly to herself. And it wasn't like she told them about her fellow male classmate whom she spent the most time with while she was in Quantico.
"That's cool! It's like you're in Criminal Minds!" Beastboy said excitedly.
Raven let out a soft chuckle at the comment. "You're actually right for once. What we learn there is pretty much what they do on that show."
"Oh glorious! Will you become an investigator over there after your classes are over, Friend Raven?" Starfire asked innocently. She was oblivious to how her boyfriend instantly tensed at the comment.
"I don't know Star. I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I'd have to leave the team if that is what I chose." The dark empath replied sullenly. She certainly didn't want to leave the team, but the couple in front of her was making it harder for her to stay.
"Well, whatever your decision Rae, you know we support you a hundred percent." Cyborg said, with a tinge of sadness in his voice.
"Yeah, you should have seen how badass you were out there! I didn't understand half of the things that you were saying, but you were awesome! Even the detective was impressed with you. It's like you're really cut out for this kind of work." Beastboy added.
Robin suddenly slammed his fist down the table, and stood up angrily. "If you're all done with lunch, we have to get back to the Tower. We still have training to do, including you Raven." With that he stormed out of the restaurant, with Starfire trailing behind him.
Raven was simply shocked by the Boy Wonder's sudden behavior. Cyborg simply placed a hand on her shoulder as he explained, "I'm sorry about Robin. I don't know what's happened to him, but ever since you left, he's been acting like a giant douchebag. I sometimes feel bad for Star, since she has to take the brunt of his anger. We've all tried talking to him, but nothing's changed."
Raven said nothing but simply gazed outside, wondering what was going on his mind, and secretly fearing what it could be.
It was late at night when Raven found herself standing outside of Robin's door. She had to make sure that they were the only ones awake when she did this. Every fiber of her being was screaming in fear of what could happen next. But she took a deep breath to try to still her nerves. Mustering up all of her courage, she knocked on the steel door with his name on it.
She only had to knock once before the door swished open, revealing the Boy Wonder. Before she could even get a word out, he placed his hand at the back of her head and kissed her with so much passion that Raven could not recover from her shock. He pressed her body close to his own as his arm snaked to the small of her back. He pulled her small body into his room, as his door closed, effectively sealing them off to the outside world.
