Nny finally arrived back at the dirty little merchandise stand only to find that the owner wasn't there. However, he heard some strange rustling noises coming from the alley nearby. He very carefully walked over hiding behind the wall at the entrance of the alley. He peeked his head over just enough so he could see and sure enough, it was the grubby salesman sniffing up some manner of substance in a plastic baggy. He took no notice of Johnny.
"...Perfect…" Nny muttered quietly as he excitedly reached into his coat pockets and gripped the handles of his blades, a malicious grin now spreading across his face.
He quietly approached the man until he was but a few feet from the crouching drug addict. The man finally took notice that he was no longer alone and spun around to see Johnny smiling at him, his head tilted to the side. The man sighed and chuckled a little
"Hey…it's just the fruity guy from before…Look man I worked hard for this and am not sellin it...so get the hell out of here before I beat your scrawny ass-"
The man gasped, his bloodshot eyes widened as a blade whizzed by his head, cutting off most of his right ear. He felt the blood trickling down and finally felt the pain. He cried out clutching his ear and stumbled backwards a bit. He looked up to see a still smiling Nny approaching the man closer, he now had withdrawn his second blade which he held to his side. The blade shimmered brightly in the sunlight.
"W-wait! Hey man…L-let's talk about this...You want money? Drugs? I can get you whatever ya want…W-whatever ya want!"
The man was frantic, he backed up until he ran into a wall behind him…a dead end.
"Whatever I want?" Nny asked in a happy tone, still having that eerie smile spread across his face.
"Y-YES Anything! Just don't kill me!!"
Nny finally reached the man and ran his blade across the brick wall behind the man, causing a bone chilling screeching noise. The man trembled horribly as he slid down the wall, peering into Johnny's cold eyes.
"What I want…the only thing I want from you is for you…to suffer"
With that, Nny brought down his blade swiftly cutting off the man's left arm. The man Screamed and desperately tried to crawl away, but Nny slashed at the man once more now cutting off both arms. The Man lay there screaming and writhing around in the now giant pool of blood. Nny stepped on the man's chest, his face splattered in blood, he leaned closer to his face still speaking in that same eerie tone…
"Now since you gave me what I want, I won't kill you…however…I can't very well have you telling anyone who I am now can I? Being the good person I am…I shall help you…"
Nny broke out in manic laughter as the man just lay there eyes darting like mad….then there was nothing but screams…

"Damn where is he?" Raven thought to herself. She had been almost obsessively looking back over her shoulder waiting for Johnny. She truly wanted to believe that Johnny had kept his word, but the longer time passed, the more she felt that he hadn't.
"Hey Raven…"
Raven gasped being jerked out of her thoughts and turned back to face robin who was eyeing her with slight concern. She finally composed herself.
"Yes?"
"You've been staring back there ever since we left without Johnny…Why are you so worried?"
"Worried? I'm not worried, I'm just feeling…a little impatient, malls bore me, I could be doing something more productive right now so I want Nny to get back here so we can hurry up and go." Raven looked down at the ground, hoping Robin would buy her lame excuse.
Robin raised an eyebrow in slight disbelief, but decided he was probably over thinking it too much.
"sigh ok Raven whatever you say"
Robin turned away and began to leave when they heard screaming and sirens in the distance.
"It's coming from outside the mall! Quick Raven, We got to find the others and see what's wrong!"
Raven nodded and they both ran around the mall to find the others, Raven feeling overwhelming anxiety that the something wrong had to do with Johnny…
The titans ran outside and saw a large crowd, an ambulance and many police cars by an alley… the alley right next to where the cheap merchandise stand was. Raven's held her breath as they approached closer and closer to the alley.
"Oh God please Nny….Please tell me you didn't…"
Sadly, her hope was shattered when they finally layed eyes on the scene. It was a site of true horror.
The merchandise salesman…or what was left of him was horribly mangled. Both arms and legs were missing, his intestines were spilling out of him, he had shards of broken glass shoved in his eyes as well as everywhere else, he had plastic bags shoved deeply into his ears and worst of all...he was still alive…He was making sickening gurgling noises as blood spewed like running water out of his mouth.
The titans were all horrified…this was nothing like they had ever seen before.
"Damn, who could do something so sick?" Beast boy said making a face of disgust.
"…It's probably the guy we're looking for but…I didn't know he was THIS bad…if it was him, this guy truly is a monster."
All poor Starfire could do was look away covering her face with her hands, sobbing. Her Whole body shuddered.
Raven felt like she wanted to do the same but for other reasons…she knew that this was his doing. She felt hurt that he didn't keep his promise but also because she knew he was a murderer, but never knew what kind of murderer he was. She clenched her fists and just looked down not saying a word.
Robin had been watching her all this time and had grown even more suspicious. He decided to test her.
"…Raven…Johnny said he was going back to talk to this guy…Where is he now?"
Raven jerked her head up and stared at robin with wide eyes. She was completely taken aback by this question. She couldn't give an answer. Her reaction had confirmed Robin's suspicions.
"…What do you know about Johnny that we don't Raven? Come on. Spill it…"
Raven stared at him with desperate eyes, holding her breath…what was she supposed to do…
"Hey guys…the merchandise guy finally died. We couldn't get any information about the killer out of him, he just kept muttering those eyes."
Cyborg's statement now caused Raven to shake all over…she didn't how much more she could take…Cyborg and beast boy took notice, beast boy was the first to speak up.
"Hey Rave, what's wrong with you? I know it's a brutal scene and all but this is a strange way for you to act."
"Yeah what's going on between you two Robin?"
"Well Raven was just about to explain to us some very important information on a certain person that might help us with this case."
All eyes were on Raven, she closed her eyes and gripped her arm tightly as she began to open her mouth… Then, a sudden whooshing noise was heard behind them; Nny walked out of the convenience store across from the alley happily slurping on a brain freezy and held another freezy in his other hand. He finally took notice of the titans. They just stood there staring at each other for a bit when finally; the titans went over to Johnny.
"Where were you? Didn't you here the commotion going on outside?!" Beat boy exclaimed
"I was inside here getting brain freezies for myself and that merchandise guy, we had a long talk and finally came to an understanding and began to get along pretty well so I thought I'd grab us something, as for the commotion…well I figured that I'd best stay out of the way, I really dislike getting involved in bad situations."
"…Johnny…that guy is dead, he was murdered in the alley near the stand."
Johnny blinked and just stared at robin who was now eyeing him suspiciously.
"…Really?...That's odd…I just talked to him 15 minutes ago…how truly devastating…does anyone know who did it?"
"…we were hoping you could enlighten us on that."
"Me? What would I know?"
"Well seeing as you were right across the street where it happened, I'd imagine you would have heard something."
Nny thought for a little bit… "Nope, I didn't hear anything, sorry."
Robin continued pressing on questions so sure that anytime now Johnny would break, Raven just stared at Nny, hands clasped together and shaking for fear that he would be found out…finally after 15 minutes Robin breathed a deep sigh and gave in.
"Alright it seems that you didn't have anything to do with this incident…I'll let it go for now…Come on, let's head back to titan tower."
With that Robin turned around and started walking away with beast boy, Cyborg and Starfire. Raven Stood there dumbstruck unable to say anything or move. She was quickly snapped out of this state when she heard a sudden thud and turned to see that Johnny had fell to his knees.
"Nny?! Are you okay?! What's wrong?"
She kneeled by him seeing that he was breathing heavily but also…that he was giggling.
"Heh heh…damn I thought for sure that brat would find me out, it seems the boy is more naïve than I thought...Killing that guy…I haven't felt a rush like that in such a long time…I can still see that piece of shit's face begging me to stop." He continued to tremble in happiness, his face expressed not fear, pure joy. He seemed to take notice of Raven staring at him with a horrified face…
Raven couldn't believe how he was acting…surely he'd have some regret, some remorse in doing what he did but no…he just sat there…laughing…how could anyone human do such a thing and be so completely content with it?
"NNY! You…you promised…you promised me that you wouldn't kill anyone!!" She screamed at him her voice very shaky.
Johnny altogether stopped laughing and turned to look into raven's pleading eyes and spoke "You are still too young to understand, especially with your brainwashed knowledge of what you think is right and what is wrong. In this world, there a people who truly deserve to die, people like that bastard…no. death isn't good enough for them. They deserve to suffer, suffer until they can take no more and then suffer even more. I am simply doing what no one else can, I'm bringing my own justice to those who wrong me, who've made my existence nothing but a living hell. I'm breaking all human morals…and it feels fucking great."
Raven was speechless she couldn't believe what Johnny had just said. She was horrified but worst of all…she kind of agreed with him.
Suddenly, Raven got a call. It was from Robin. She looked back at Johnny and then hesitantly turned on her transmitter making sure it was on speaker mode,
"Yes?"
"Raven? Where have you guys been? We're already back at the tower."
"S-sorry I was talking with Johnny and I guess we lost track of time"
"Well hurry and got back here, we just got a call from someone who says that they can help us with the case we're working on, she says her name is Devi and she used to know the murderer."
Raven heard a gasp from behind her and turned to Johnny who had a panicked expression on his face
"…D-devi?"
