I'm back! Sorry for the looooong wait. I'm not exaggerating about the Os. I didn't have time. Plus, the chapter is very long. But it was worth it I swear!

Disclaimer: Don't own anything… and never will. Sadly :(

Thank you so much for reviewing guys! Never expected someone to hear me out and actually review. I'm so happy *sobs*.

WARNING: Torture... alot of it. I made sure Beast Boy really suffered. It's an important part but with lots and lots of violence, maybe even abuse. If you want to skip it without missing anything important, just read the conversations that are between quotation marks ("" or '') other than that is a bloody mess. You hear me!

My opinion about the chapter: I'm simply PROUD of this chapter.

ENJOY! ;)

Chapter 6: Bloody Eyes

5 Feb, 12:48Pm
In the Sick Bay/Infirmary,
Rachel "Raven" Roth's Point Of View:

I opened my eyes to find myself in the medical room. I felt dizziness hit me and my eyes weren't focusing. When I was finally able to see clearly, I saw Starfire near my face.

"What are you doing?" I asked with my original tone.

When Starfire heard my voice, she jumped to the other corner of the room with an "EEP!". I raised an eyebrow while sitting up. I looked around again. I was at the medical room. Medical room? Something important happened in the medical room. Something…

I focused again on Starfire who was at the opposite corner, still trying to grasp what happened. I managed to ask her again, "What were you doing?"

Starfire shook her head quickly and blinked, "Apologizing to you, friend Raven." She put her hands up defensively, "I was merely changing the one-form of yours."

I looked at her with a 'What the heck are you saying' expression. I was tired and didn't have the energy to try to comprehend every word the Tamaranean princess was saying.

"Oh. I mean the 'uniform' as you earth people say."

I said, "Oh." But quickly realized what she meant, "WHAT?!" I looked down at myself; thankfully, my uniform was on except for the left sleeve. Phew! It didn't show anything. I put my sleeve on and glared at the alien girl, "Why?"

She nervously scratched the back of her head, "Friend Cyborg asked me to. He said something about the green substance I should not touch. You remember the incidents on which they occurred before the passing out of you, correct?" she said with a hopeful expression.

I stared at the bed, trying to recall the events, "I do remember that something happened but… I'm not really sure what."

She disappointedly averted her eyes, "Oh." She looked at me again, "I think I should tell you then. It is something about…" she paused, "friend Beast Boy."

My eyes widen as remembered every single thing that happened, "Oh no." I mumbled, quietly enough that she couldn't hear, "D-Don't tell me…" I mumbled loudly this time.

Starfire looked at me with rather a confused look, "I do not believe you recalled the incidents this quick. Did you?"

"Yes I did! And I wish I never! Don't tell me that we failed! Tell me we defeated the damn robot! Tell me Beast Boy is okay and in his room and woke up. Tell me…" I paused, looking at my palms, "Tell me why I can't feel my powers."

Starfire depressingly shook her head, "I am most sorry Raven. I cannot intend lying to you even if it means making you feel relieved." She got closer, "But friend Beast Boy has been taken, the mysterious robot did escape and it even shot something on you that friend Cyborg freaked over when he realized what it really was. He asked me to get a new uniform and so I did; then asked me to change it without touching the substance."

She pointed over a chair that had my other uniform at it. It was covered in a green substance. I closed my eyes and ran my hands through my hair. This was so much to handle but still, if Starfire had lied and I found out from Robin or Cyborg the truth things could be worse. Plus, Starfire can't really lie. She's always very nervous when she does so that an idiot could pick up she simply isn't telling the truth.

I exhaled heavily, "What did you guys do until now?"

Starfire blinked before asking, "About what?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Um… about Beast Boy?"

"Oh. Forgive me. Since you have been shot and Cyborg was in… as you say it 'rage mode'. I am very certain that they are doing their best about Beast Boy's situation." She assured with a smile, and headed to the door to call for the boys.

"I hope so." I mumbled quietly.

Once again, so many bad feelings. Aside from anger, I was really sad and anxious. I wished I could scream or yell but… I couldn't. I really hoped that the guys had concluded something… anything.

But what I saw and heard made me beyond mad.

I watched as Star opened the door, and found out that the guys were standing next to it. I could see that she was as surprised as me. She talked to them for some moments. I clenched a fist to the bed sheet as I figured they hadn't done anything about Beast Boy's situation.

The guys stepped into the room and Robin sat at the end of the bed; with his fake smile that I always hate and know. It always indicates that he either will about to lie, or will try to get away from a specific conversation.

Robin started, "So, Rav-"

But I cut him off before he fished his sentence. I knew he had so much to say though couldn't say at the moment. But I really wanted direct answers at that point, "Do you know where it took him?"

I didn't look at him but I could feel his shame, and so Star's and Cyborg's, "I'm sorry Raven. We still haven't done anything about Beast Boy. We were concerned for you and didn't have time to-"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Concerned for ME?! Why?! Was I in real danger? No! Was I wounded and couldn't stand up? No! Was I unconscious and couldn't breathe properly? No! Was I kidnapped? NO! THEN WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT?! Beast Boy was in Real. Danger. He was the one that had all of the above, not me! He was the one who might be suffering right now, not me! He was the one who deserved the concern, not me! I'm fine, in the tower and safe. He was wounded, unconscious, had trouble breathing, and away from the tower in an unknown place.

"Concerned for… WHAT?!" I yelled, "DO YOU EVEN REALIZE THAT BEAST BOY CAN BARELY EVEN STAND UP?!"

All what Robin did was sigh, then talk, "Raven, we need you in the fight. So we'll wait longer here. Cyborg will try to track down Beast Boy, just rest."

There was one thing that was really confusing me, but I couldn't ask about it. I was so disappointed that I couldn't handle any more bad information. But somehow, Robin spotted my confusion and knew why, "The substance that was shot at you disabled your powers… for now. That's why you need to rest until you regain your strength."

It wasn't much of a surprise for me; I concluded that when I saw the substance; I just wanted to make sure. Starfire, on the other hand, made the shocked reaction I was supposed to make, "What?" she yelled.

She and Robin kept whispering to each other. I honestly didn't care. I was thinking while closing my eyes, managing something in my head, "How long will it take me to regain my powers?" I asked Cyborg.

"Fifteen minutes… at least." He answered.

Great! Fifteen minutes isn't such a long time!

I forced a faint smile and looked at my friends, "Thanks for your care guys. And.. I'm sorry." I just wanted them to leave me alone.

I saw the guys giving confused looks at one another. But Starfire, she kept looking at me with a worried expression. I really hoped she doesn't figure out I was planning something.

Cyborg scratched the back of his head, "Um.. don't be apologetic ya' know."

I nodded weakly.

"Okaaay…" Robin said hesitatingly and turned to face the door to get outside with Cyborg, but looked at me again, "We'll be upstairs in the living room. C'mon Star." Robin gestured for his girlfriend who was still staring at me.

I lied heavily on the bed, closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

My plan wasn't a good one, neither I was excited to make. After fifteen minutes, I would get out of the tower to find Beast Boy. I was aware that it was dangerous to go on my own, but I can't sit here and do nothing while my teammate is like… who knows where!

I waited for the door to shut. When it finally did, I opened one eye to check that everything was good. I groaned heavily.

"I thought you were going to be with the guys." I said in an annoyed tone, shutting my eyes.

"So you are not asleep." I heard Starfire say slyly.

I shot straight up, waving my hand unbelievingly, "Do you think I'm gonna sleep when my teammate is-"

"Raven," she cut me. She was sitting in a chair beside the bed, "You were going to search for him on your own. Am I wrong?"

I was shocked that she knew I was planning something and knew what my plan was. Didn't expect that. My eyes were wide for a second then I averted them away from her, "No. You're not." I said quietly.

"Raven, do you think that going out alone would make a progress? You might be in danger and we cannot lose another Titan for the mission!"

I frowned, locking my eyes with hers, "You are not losing me! You don't even understand!"

"But I understand more than you do, Raven!" I stopped with a scandalized look. It was one of these rare moments when Starfire stood up to anyone; especially me, "You are acting like me when Robin is in great danger. You must think before doing anything! Or neither you, nor Beast Boy will be rescued."

I couldn't say that she didn't have a point. Since the past weeks, Jump City was a total mess. Robbers were everywhere and citizens were afraid for their homes. Being outside alone can never be a good idea; with or without powers.

Throughout the two years, I noticed that Starfire was progressing in her 'earthly talk'. She learned so much from Robin; sometimes she makes sarcastic remarks about a thing, or even says 'DUDE' like Beast Boy. It was hilarious at times, but annoying at others. Although Star was usually trying to be something else to blend in, Starfire will always be… Starfire. The happy, goofy, powerful princess who never betrays or leaves her friends no matter what. And who also makes the weird crazy food from her original planet.

I wanted to change the subject. Seeing that Starfire was right I couldn't bear being blamed, especially after the bad news I heard. I thought of something that might make her forget I ever said anything. My mind clicked as I got it.

"You're saying that I'm like you when your boyfriend's in peril?" I asked raising an eyebrow. It was slightly annoying.

Star blinked before smiling sheepishly, "Oh.. yes, actually."

I frowned this time, "Yes how?"

"The way you were concerned. I am really like this when it comes to Robin. You feel like… you can do anything to save him, even if it meant risking your life."

Great. Now I was compared to a girl crying for her lover. Just the thing I was missing.

It was quiet for a while. I couldn't really think of a respond to that. I really cared for the green boy but still, why? Why was he so important? Was it because he did something? I don't really remember him doing something for my sake. He annoys me all the time, and make the quiet peaceful scene a horrible noisy place. I often punish him, and he usually apologizes.

Come to think of it, he usually apologizes because he knows that he annoyed me or hurt me in any kind of way. But how many times did I hurt him and apologized? Never. Even today, when I realized the misunderstanding, I didn't say sorry once. All I did was talk about my dark side, a HUGE mistake that made everything worse. What was I thinking like that back then? A simple 'sorry' could've been way better. But no. Stupid Raven wanted to justify her situation before apologizing. Admitting it, yes, I was stupid back then.

And, here I was, regretting every single thing that happened, even blaming it all on me. If we hadn't had that dumb fight, Beast Boy could've been in the tower now; playing a video game with Cyborg, or annoying me with his corny jokes. It would be a normal free day. No fighting, no training; just a good time for finishing a book, or learning a new spell, or meditating, or merely sitting in the living room watching the boys fight over something stupid. Thanks to me; everything now was beyond our control. We didn't know where Beast Boy is. He might be suffering right now. He might be even dea-

Ugh! Not again! Don't think about that! He won't be. Don't say that word ever again! It was the word that led to this plight. It was the word that made him heartbroken. It was the word that could've been replaced by anything else, and made the day way better. Why did I even say that? Why didn't it come like: 'I wish you never entered my room', or 'I wish you were mature, idiot'?

I sighed. Maybe it wasn't the right time to confess my feelings about him. Maybe I would never get a chance with him. Why would he talk to someone that did this to him? To someone who wished for his demise, who completely shattered his heart? Why would he give a smile for a girl that never gave him one in return? Even if he forgave me, I would never forgive myself. It would always be awkward for me and I wouldn't give proper responds. All in all, our relationship would never return back to its normal state.

I laid flat on my back, staring at the ceiling, "Starfire. I wanna forget him."

"What?"

"I mean… I wanna forget my feelings for him."

"But you said.."

"I didn't say anything, okay? You were the one who was forcing me to admit it; even tho I wasn't completely sure." I said calmly.

She thought for a few moments, "But why the hasty decision?"

I sat straight again, "It's not hasty, and it's not a decision. I'm being ready to face Beast Boy after we get him back. We will never speak to each other again. I highly doubt it."

She huffed with a frown, "I am certain that you know this more than me, but I will say it: Beast Boy is a very nice guy. He will never do anything to bother anyone. If he does not talk to you, then you apologize for everything and it would be back to normal."

"And if it wouldn't? What if he replied harshly or coldly or joked about my dark side again, which I didn't forgive him for it until this moment by the way, or said that he doesn't wanna talk?"

"You're really afraid from his response Raven?" she smiled slyly.

I felt my cheecks redden, "No! I'm not afraid! I'm taking precautions." I paused, "Besides, it's not like I'm gonna ask him out!" I crossed my arms.

"We'll see about that." She mumbled quietly.

I gave her a glare.

She put her hands up defensively, "I-I mean no! You are not asking him out!"

"That's more like it."

5 Feb, 2:24Pm
A part in Jump City, an unknown place,
Garfield Mark Logan's (Beast Boy's) Point Of View:

"What… do… you want… from me…?" I asked, trying so badly to sound threatening, but it only came out as if I'm dying and asking for her help. I couldn't figure out what she meant by 'We're gonna have fun', but according to her tone, it wasn't something that would please me in any way. All I wanted to do was get out of here and get back to the tower where I could feel safe.

The teen didn't speak, but came closer to where I could see her full face. She had tan skin, her eyes narrowing and had an Asian hairstyle. Her hair was longer than Madam Rouge's, and her lips were covered in lipstick that matched her suit's color. Her facial looks didn't quietly match the foreign shape-shifter's, but I thought it was because of the long-time-no-see. However, she looked far younger than the Crazy foreign lady.

The red eyes that I've seen in the shadows were now normal black pupils. I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating, but it seemed pretty damn real to me.

The teen came closer, one hand on her hip, her smirk never left her face. I'll admit, she was beautiful, but her looks told me that she was up to no good.

I could see her pupils shifting from one place to another on my bruised body, as if she was examining me. Then her pupils froze and stared at the wound on my right side. And, once again, her pupils glowed.

I stiffed as I felt uncomfortable, and somewhat frightened. Being completely helpless, I wasn't sure of what she would do with me. I was certain by now that I'm kidnapped. But how? Why me? Where's my team? Who was she?

She kept staring at my wound with wide red glowing eyes. I wanted her to stop, but I was unable to speak properly, so I decided to groan and move my body. She blinked before focusing on me once again, now back to black pupils.

"It's about time you wake up. Welcome to the lab." She crossed her arms, "You might be wonderin' why you're here aren't you." She asked with a scornful voice. Actually, I was wondering, but I didn't reply. I just kept staring at her.

"I honestly didn't want to reveal my identity and secrets until the whole team attend the party." She laughed, "But seeing how weak you are, you probably won't survive before the Titans get here." She laughed again, with an echo following it.

I frowned, but remained silent. Minding her words was tiring, so I didn't really feel angry, I just wanted answers. Of course I couldn't say that I wasn't weak. I barely moved my body! But here where my questions started roaming in my mind, why? Why was I that weak? Sure, I had a wound, and tons of bruises, but that wasn't a huge problem compared to what I take in battles; and most importantly, my animal instincts heal my wounds faster than normal humans. It was as if something was spreading in my body.

The teen reached her belt, and grabbed a knife. I didn't make a reaction, just curious of what would happen next. My frown never left my face. I noticed that the knife had blood stains on it. I shivered as I saw her licking it.

As my team knows, I watch way too much TV, and there were a lot of scenes in movies where the bad guy catches the good guy and tortures him. I never really watched the torture part, afraid that I might end up getting nightmares, so I always miss the escape part. Sometimes Cy watches with me, and laughs when I get scared and ask to change the channel; which makes him tease me more by not doing so. I would close my eyes when I see blood and he would call me a chicken, or scaredy cat, or whatever. Sometimes I even get mad and decide to go to my room. After a couple of minutes, I would get back and see that the hero had escaped and was fine. Of course, since he was the hero.

The situation I was in reminded me of these scenes, though I wasn't sure if I would get out in one piece. I never imagined how it would be like to be tortured or held hostage. And here I was, living the unpleasant moment. It was uncomfortable, terrifying and un-expectable. And to make it even worse, a girl older than me was literally staring at my body from head to toe.

I looked disgustingly at her, and she returned it with an evil grin. The Asian teen walked more closely to the hard surface I was lying on, then sat at the left edge of it near my face. She crossed her legs, looked at the knife and started gently touching the wet part she just licked.

"This knife had killed more people than you could imagine." She mumbled without looking at me, "far more."

Okay, the first thought that came to my mind was 'Why's she telling me this?'. Did that mean I would be killed by it too? Or that she wanted to show me that she's far more evil than I thought? And, why would she kill too many people? Did she enjoy killing? That would be weird.

"The weapon belonged to my father," she continued, "And this weapon too." She took a pistol from her belt and held it to my face to be able to see it.

Again, why was she telling me? I now knew that she admired her lovely father but how would that help explain the situation? Ugh! So many questions!

"My father's the reason why you're here." She kept looking at the knife.

I hesitated, "How?" was all I could say.

She looked at me, this time, with a frown. It was as if I shouldn't ask this question. She kept staring at my eyes, then returned to her knife. The teen put the pistol back where it was and began to stand up to face me. I could feel that she was angry. Why? I had no idea.

She slowly lifted her arm, and quickly buried the knife on my left thigh. The pain was un-imaginable. I could feel my hot blood dripping like waterfalls. I screamed wild with pain, teeth clenching, hands balled into fists. I tried to squirm or move my body to ease the pain, but with no luck. I kept screaming then coughing. My eyes opened halfway to see the teen just smirking, with the same red bloody eyes. I slowly calmed down with harsh breaths. It was so hard to even breathe. Coughing weakly, I didn't open my eyes. The knife was still in my flesh.

"Maybe I should just leave it there." I heard her say calmly.

I could feel that she sat again in the same spot as before. Keeping my breath steady was becoming a harder task, trying to not feel pain was by far the worst thing. And she enjoyed it.
I ain't a 'knowing it all' about wounds or medical stuff, but I was sure that leaving the knife in me could be a real danger.

"A green freak like you shouldn't be asking questions, especially about my father."

I was still shutting my eyes, and was still trying to keep a steady breath. Her words didn't matter anymore. I wanted to focus on myself and attempted to keep calm enough in order not to unleash emotions that could tire me. Trying not to die was the best choice at that moment. Why would I get mad at her words? What would anger do? I couldn't move or morph.

"I'm The Woman In Red…" She paused.

'Great. Now she's going to narrate her life story! What else do I need? Oh right, we need lemonade too!' I thought sarcastically.

I decided to open my eyes. Sure, the info she was about to say was going to explain why the hell I was here. When I halfway opened them, I was greeted by a horrifying glare.

Caught off guard, I tried to morph quickly but whimpered when a sharp pain entered my chest. I completely forgot that my powers were disabled. I calmed myself down and looked again at her; her glare was still on her face.

I wanted to ask why or what. But my mouth didn't budge.

She closed her eyes, as if calming down, and said, "Even when you're going through hell, you only have to make a sarcastic remark?"

Wh-? What? How? Did she-? Did she just-?

"How did you-" coughing again. Darn it! My organs weren't responding!

"I have the ability to translate and understand people's thoughts. I'm able to hear you whenever I like. It's something that was given to me after the experiments." She explained as if it was the most obvious thing to say.

'So you hear me now?' I wanted to make sure that she wasn't messing with me.

"Yes"

Cool! She just made things easier for me.

She kept silent for a few minutes, then finally continued, "I loved my father deeply, and so my mother. We lived happily for years. Until…" she paused, "Until I was 17."

I frowned my brows. What might have happened when she was 17? And… what does my presence have anything to do with her family?

"It was an incident I can never forget. The day I returned home from high school. I saw my mom crying bitterly. I barged in, asking her many times what happened." The Woman In Red gripped on her arm, "SHE SAID THAT YOU TITANS KILLED MY FATHER!" At this point, my eyes widen, "I couldn't even believe that the famous heroes just killed an innocent citizen!" She gasped from the lack of breath.

I couldn't comprehend what I heard. Killed? We never kill. Innocent or guilty, we never kill. How? Who?

"And you will pay for what you have done!" she said with a harsh breath, standing up, "One. By. One."

She pulled a lever that was far from my sight. I gasped as I felt something powerful get inside me. Soon, I was shrieking. She was electrocuting me! I groaned hardly and screamed again. I could hear The Woman In Red laughing.

"YOU WILL REGRET THE DAY YOU EVEN EXISTED! THE DAY YOU MADE ME SUFFER! THE DAY YOU MADE ME A FILTHY ORPHAN!"

My organs were failing. I wanted to pass out and feel nothing, but all I felt was pain. I didn't even know what she was screaming about. I couldn't even hear my own screams. Soon enough, I heard a lever that left me shakily breathing. She turned off the electrocutions, but I was still aching.

I tried to open my eyes but instead I kept shaking with each breath. I felt both frozen and dying. All I wished was death in that moment.

I sensed a grapple by my hair. Tried to open my eyes again but weakness was spreading in me. I was just feeling her breath in my face. No movements. The lab was so quiet.

I felt a harder grip on my hair that made me grit my teeth in displeasure. Exhaustion sucks! I wished I could smack her or even talk to make her stop. My lungs didn't help, and my wounds' pains were spreading everywhere. I was aware that the more I stayed in that lab, the less chance I could make it out alive.

"Oh. Don't pass out young man. We didn't even begin yet." She gave a harder grip that was about to rip my fossils.

I groaned, 'Why am I so weak?' I managed to ask her mentally.

She let my hair go with a thud, "Why? The Trio-X-14 is spreading in your body. I sucked it in your blood. It might take days before its effect wears out."

'What is a Trio-X-14?'

"It stops your powers temporarily." I heard her say casually.

That explained why I couldn't morph. But the idea of this thing getting in my friends frightened me. It was such a powerful weapon against us.

I opened my eyes weakly but with a frown, and said with a harsh breath, "Don't you… use it against… my friends!"

I knew that this wouldn't help at all. What super villain would stop something when they're asked to? But I still needed to warn her.

The girl laughed bitterly for half a minute. When she caught her breath, "Why do you even care about them?" she asked, "They don't even care about you! It's been about three hours and they didn't show! If they really care they would've been here by now!"

"I… I don't care if they came." I said weakly, "And don't underestimate our leader. He's defeated far more villains than you can count." I finally coughed.

She laughed again, "I'm actually surprised that you could even speak! And I'm not talking about your stupid leader! I'm talking about you. No one even wants you!" I glared at her, still hardly convinced, "Besides, didn't one of them want you dead already?" she said slyly.

My eyes widen from the shock. She was taking about Raven! "H-How did you…?" I couldn't utter more than that.

She stood up and put a hand on her hip, she didn't face me, just looked at the wall in front of her, "I sent a spy in the tower. And thankfully it brought you."

She walked through the shadows, and grabbed a body by its masked face.

'RED X!' I screamed in my mind.

"No. A robot clone." She corrected.

She walked again through the shadows to grab another body by the back of its collar. This time, it was covered in blood, tied and without a mask.

"THIS. Is Red X."

My eyes widen by the horrific state the guy was in. His face was completely covered in blood. His suit was in a horrible condition. I didn't even know if he was still alive.

'H-He's dead?'

The girl nodded and let go of the body to let it drop lifelessly on the ground. She walked on it without hesitation towards something else.

My mind was racing with fear. The guy was really dead. She killed him.

"The robot had a camera and travelled in your ceiling. I heard and saw your conversations through it. And…" I heard her click a button.

A computer on the other side switched on. It had a video on it. I tilted my head to the other side so I can see what's going on.

Wait… this is Raven's room? She's sleeping? Wait again… I'm going in her room? Climbing on her bed? Oh wait. This is what happened in the morning!

Oh no… this IS what happened in the morning!

I didn't want to recall the events. It was so bad I gladly forgot. But now… this Red Woman was forcing me to remember.

As much as I didn't want to, I kept watching. I was sure that if I didn't watch or moved my head away from the screen, the teen would smack it back where it was.

I saw myself in the computer screen. It was the moment I realized that Raven wasn't breathing; then leaned slowly to do CPR. Raven quickly sat up, gasping.

I hugged her, "O thank God you're okay! You've scared me to death!"

I now realized how stupid I was for even entering her room. And… she really had the right to think I was kissing her. Why else would a guy be in her room, on her bed, and was about to make lip contact with her unless she woke up? Pervert or not; if I were in her place, I would've thought of that too. Averting my eyes, I felt guilt rushing in me. I was the reason for this whole mess.

After a minute I heard Raven, my eyes focused again on the screen, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING? WERE YOU KISSING ME WHILE I'M ASLEEP?"

I clenched my fists from the mental pain that was right there in that moment. It was the moment where I was happy, she was mad. I was thankful, she was disgusted. I thought I was helping her, she thought I was taking advantage of her.

I heard myself hesitate, "No I was just.."

And then she snapped again, "AND WHY THE HECK ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?"

I saw myself frown, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

I looked to the other side to see The Woman In Red crossing her arms, and watching the video with me… with… red eyes again. "C-Can you… stop the video now?" I hesitantly asked. I've had enough. Mental torture is far worse than the physical one.

But the red-eyed girl didn't respond. Instead, she got hold of my head and forced it to the right side again with her palm. She kept her force on my temple to the hard surface I was bound on. I struggled as I wanted to beg her to stop.

"Plea-"

"Well, I wasn't dead! Now get the hell out of here!" Raven again.

I stopped struggling; now awaiting my reaction.

"I-I'm sorry Raven" and I was getting out of the room.

"P-Please stop it!" I struggled again. I didn't want the part to come. I've had a nightmare about it. My physical pain was nothing compared to this. I closed my eyes, but felt the teen push harder. I opened my eyes again to not let my skull be crushed. My fists were balled, my chest was boiling, and before I could notice, I was tearing up.

"I'M SORRY THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT YOU!" I saw myself facing Raven again.

It was coming. It was coming. The part that had this whole day turn upside-down for me. I kept struggling again but with no luck. I wished I could disable my hearing sense.

"I NEVER ASKED YOU TO CARE ABOUT ME! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD, IDIOT!"

I stopped cold, motionless. Tears flooded while my eyes were vast. The teen let go of me and headed back to the computer, clicked a button, and stopped the video. I heard her laugh loudly.

"I never imagined that a hero would beg a thing from a 'bad guy'! It was hysterically funny!" she said while laughing.

I gritted my teeth. My eyes were still tearing and my body was shaking. I couldn't believe that a one can have pleasure in other's suffering. It was terrifying! She wasn't human! She couldn't feel! She didn't even know anything!

"And CRYING?! Do you call yourself a man?!"

I created the harshest glare I could manage to do. She returned it with a wide smirk. I really got mad.

"I'm not a man, but an animal. And if you really think you're capable of defeating me then why did you bound me and used the chemicals? You don't know anything! You never will!" I said while gritting my teeth. It was as if my physical pain had vanished at that moment.

The girl calmly ambled towards me, "You know, taking a second thought about it, I don't like the knife's spot."

Oh no.

I quivered unconsciously and my anger started to fade, now switching into a scared state. The knife was still inside me. Taking it off and putting it in another part of my body might drive me mad with pain. I couldn't handle another injury, especially since my animal instincts were off.

She laughed again. God! I would never forget this laugh. It always told that something bad would happen to me.

"Scared? Now that's more like it."

She didn't stop, now heading towards the opposite part of the bed. What shall I do now? Nothing. Just wait for my fate. I really needed my team to come, not just to rescue me but to capture her. I never saw her fighting skills before, but I guessed that she fought pretty well. It was clear that she was strong. She already killed the villain we tried to capture for years. Well, he wasn't exactly a villain. Sometimes he helped us, but he still steals things for his own good. Now he was dead, and I could tell that it was an awful way of dying.

Would I end up like him? Even before seeing my friends? Did they know I was here? And, if they knew, why didn't they come yet?

I trembled when I felt the knife vacate my flesh. I could feel the blood leaking everywhere. Whimpering loudly, closing my eyes, I tried to steady my breath. Damn! My physical pain returned, but from bad to worst! My wound's pain was un imaginable, and so were my leg's and bruises! But I knew that the bad part didn't come yet, the part where she dives the knife into me again.

"Now where should I put it?" she faked a confused tone, staring at my body.

As if I was going to answer that!

"Come to think of it…"

She didn't continue, but instantly took action. I heard her cutting something. Something such as fabric. Fabric? No it wasn't my clothes. I would've felt it. Wait…

I perked my head weakly, to see that she was cutting the bandage on my waist.

No, no please don't tell me…

Once she finished cutting it, she stared at my wound. It thankfully stopped bleeding, but it was still an open flesh. She threw the bandage to the other side of the room.

"…this thing in is irritating me." She finished.

The Woman In Red kneeled to be on the height level of my lesion. She sensed it gently and I moaned from the pain that hit me. She had long nails, I could sense. As much as I wanted to, I didn't want to beg her to stop. She would brag about how funny it was.

She kept circling my wound for like half a minute, probably enjoying the scene. I, on the other hand, kept whining with each touch on my graze. It was like a nightmare. No, it was a nightmare. Dying slowly is much painful than dying quickly. It feels like it will never end.

My eyes went vast when I felt one of her nails digging my flesh. I gasped and shrieked heavily. Caught off guard, she stopped. Gratefully, I took some breath. She apparently didn't mean that and was confused about my sudden distress. When she comprehended everything, she faced me with one of the most evil grins I've ever seen, and still again with glowing eyes.

She turned to my wound again, "Good idea." She murmured to herself.

The pain I witnessed after that could never be describable. She put a knife in me, pulled my hair, electrocuted me and nearly crushed my skull; but this by far was the worst thing ever. Maybe it was the fact that my skin was still rebuilding new tissues. I could sense her nails digging deeper and deeper in my lesion. Every time I try to scream, I sense a new kind of pain that makes me gag instead.

I couldn't keep myself from begging anymore, "STOP! S-STOP IT!"

But she didn't.

All she did was going further and further in me.

"Shit." I whispered with a moan.

My eyes were in tears and I was on the verge of crying out load. I could feel my blood flooding out of my body. She didn't hold back once, she just kept stabbing me deeper and further. F#cking strong nails! My sweat was rolling in beads down my face. I wished I blanked out from this horrible actuality, the scary part was, I knew I wouldn't.

She finally let her hand out and I gasped with throbbing harsh breaths, shaking like crazy. I was sobbing silently while feeling blood get out, both from my freshly dug wound and the corner of my mouth. If she wanted to kill me, why not already? Why did I have to suffer first? Why was she doing this? We never killed anyone!

I opened my eyes with difficulty. My tears were preventing me from seeing clearly. I blinked them away to see the teen's hand covered in blood. My blood. She stood up with red orbs. I gave a bloody cough with shaking breaths.

The torturous eyes returned to its original colour, and faced me with raising a brow, "That's weird. You're not as weak as I thought. You should've been dead by now that you've lost so much blood. I'm surprised you could handle all of that without passing out."

I closed my eyes and took a breath, then immediately coughed. Great! Now my lungs were failing too!

"Yummy blood." I heard her while closing my eyes. I already knew she was going to taste it. I gagged, "I never expected it to be red actually. I thought it was going to be ectoplasm or some disgusting liquid. Such a shame. You're a dumb ordinary human like me."

Wat wait wait… a dumb ordinary human like her? Okay, first of all: She wasn't an ordinary human. No human had glowing eyes. No human can read people's minds. No human would enjoy the seeing blood and hearing cries. No human was free from feelings like her. She simply wasn't ordinary.
Second of all: I ain't ordinary either. I can shape-shift. I can talk to animals. I was green. How could she call me ordinary?
Third of all: I'm nothing like her. She was a girl, I was a guy. She was a villain, I was a hero. She was a torturous, I was a savior. She had no feelings, I had plenty. She enjoyed seeing blood, I didn't. She could read people's minds, I couldn't. She had glowing red eyes from time to time, I didn't. I could shape-shift, she couldn't. I was a vegetarian, I don't think she was. All in all, we had nothing in common. We were nothing like each other. And I'm glad we weren't.

I didn't think of a response to that, knowing that I couldn't even talk. What's the point? Just let her brag about anything until this nightmare was over. If it was by fainting or dying, cool. If it was by my friends coming to rescue me, cooler. Actually, I didn't have a problem with dying; but it was the fact that my friends' pain will be greater than mine. I couldn't take my team's tears. Except Raven of course. She wouldn't cry for me. She never wanted me. She wished for it. Maybe even way before admitting it to my face.

I've had enough. I wanted answers to the questions that were roaming in my mind. I wanted to know who her father was. I wanted to know how she learned we killed him. She said her mother told her. I was sure it was a lie. If she didn't wanna answer, then I would make her. Annoying Raven mode: ON.

'I want answers.' I thought with frowning closed eyes.

The teen got a second before replying, "Why would I even answer yo-"

'What's your name?'

Although my eyes were shut, I could imagine her frowning at me. It ain't called 'annoying Raven mode' for nothing. This was the critical mode whenever I needed to get Raven mad, or when I wanted her to answer a specific question. I would keep talking and asking until she sighs and answers me. If she didn't want to, she would shut my mouth or sends me to another dimension.
I was using that now. But I got advantage of her powers. She couldn't shut my mouth because I wasn't even moving it.

"The Woman In Red" She said under her breath. She was angry.

'What's your real name?'

She pulled my hair once again, I made no reaction, "Where are you going with this?" she asked with a mad tone.

'What's your real name?' I repeated mentally.

She gripped harder, this time, my teeth clenched, "ANSWER ME!"

'What's your real name?' Man, I remember how fun this was to do. I smiled faintly as I heard her harsh breaths near my face. I wasn't gonna stop until she answered me.

She let go of my hair, "I guess there's no other way of escaping this, huh?" she said in a calm-furious tone.

'What's your real name?' I repeated.

"Umeko Daizo." She said.

I opened my eyes that went vast at that point. I couldn't believe what I heard. She was the daughter of the commander we defeated in Tokyo! Wait… but we never killed him either.

"You know my father, I see. He was a great commander who always protected us. UNTIL…"

"W-Wait…" I said loudly.

She raised an eyebrow, "You can talk despite everything you've been through? That's quite impressive."

I ignored her comment, "We never killed him!"

"YOU NEVER KILLED HIM? MY MOTHER TOLD ME-"

"YOUR MOTHER LIED!"

"MY MOTHER NEVER-"

"THEN WHO EVER TOLD HER LIED TO BOTH OF YOU!" I shouted then finally coughed.

"WHY WOULD I BELIEVE YOU?! THAT'S BULLSHIT!"

"He died… in jail." I said with harsh breaths. It was weird how I wanted to justify the team's situation so bad. Uehara really died, but after a month of being in prison. How come no one informed her that he was jailed? How come no one told her that he was a bad man? How come no one told her that Tokyo was going to be a mess if we hadn't stopped him? He was abusing Brushogun's powers. He had to be stopped. It wasn't our fault that he died!

"MY FATHER NEVER WENT TO PRISON!"

"Yes.. he DID!"

"NO!" She pulled the lever that unleashed electricity in me. My eyes went wide as I screamed wild with pain. My heart was beating crazy to cope with the abuse. My lungs weren't functioning. My watery eyes shifted toward Umeko to find her looking furiously at me. She was hard to convince. She just finds torturing me a solution. That was never the solution! I could never bring her father back!

She pulled the lever again where I was left trembling. My eyes were rolling. I felt myself finally close to fainting.

"Done bragging? Maybe not." I heard her say.

I felt something enter my wound again, this time, it was the knife. I gagged and shrieked. My blood was flooding like a waterfall. I heard the teen laugh. My nose and mouth were bleeding. I was very exhausted. My eyes weren't focusing anymore and my hearing sense was fading.

I took harsh breaths that made me cough heavily. I saw Umeko moving her mouth but I couldn't perceive what she was saying. Soon enough, I heard something faint that sounded like an explosion. I shifted my head slowly towards the sorce. I could barely see four figures that I immediately acknowledged. I smiled faintly, closing my eyes while tears flooding down from them.

I finally left this world.

End of Chapter 6

Yaaay! The team finally came!

10 reviews? Pleeeeease?

Wow. A long chapter. 8000 words baby! Let's go!
This might be the longest chapter I will ever make. I highly doubt that the next chapter will be longer. Forgive me, but I don't have time to write very often. My mother and brother don't let me use the laptop now. :(

Next chapter: Explaining the obscure bruises that pretty much came out of no where. They have a great story I swear. We'll also see why it took so long for the Titans to come. Of course they ain't for nothing. Oh, and Raven's reaction when she sees BB. Man, it will be goooood!

Plz R&R. Have a great day! :)
