Enjoy!


Between Garfield nibbling on her ear and the kitten licking her nose, Raven knew she wasn't getting any extra sleep this morning. In the two weeks since Seymour had left with Titans East, this had become her new alarm clock. It wasn't unpleasant, but they had just battled Doctor Light, Mad Mod, and Killer Moth at the same time yesterday and she was still just a bit tired from it. Gar had actually taken a pretty nasty hit from Doctor Light so she had to heal him after the battle, draining more of her energy. Sometimes it felt like her powers weren't as strong as they used to be, which was a ridiculous concept in and of itself since she had defeated a demonic warlord almost a year ago.

Raven sighed and gently grabbed the kitten. He mewed at her as she sat him down in his bed on the floor beside hers and Garfields'.

"Shush Felix, I'll feed you in a moment." She chided softly. The little black furball curled up and glared at Gar, who snickered.

Raven threw half a glare at her boyfriend. "Gar, don't tease the kitten unless you want him to scratch you again."

The shapeshifter rubbed the tip of his nose in remembrance. "Yeah yeah, okay."

Raven rolled onto her back and looked up at him expectantly. He smiled and kissed her. "Good morning beautiful."

She smiled and melted into his kiss. It had become something that she craved every morning when she woke up, his kiss and his touch lighting a fire in her body that was hard to put out. This morning it was particularly strong as she pulled him down on top of her and kissed him harder. Gar smiled again as he kept his lips locked with his beautiful girlfriend, shifting his weight as he leaned on the knee he placed between her legs near her own knees. He had figured out he could stay in that position longest to kiss her and hadn't missed an opportunity yet to use it.

Well, that was until Raven's legs wrapped around his and pulled him up tight between her legs.

He froze, noting that there was only two thins layers of clothing between his leg and her bottom half. She was hot and it startled him. He pulled back from her kisses and eyed her warily. Raven's breathing was heavy and slow as she looked back at him, a hungry look in her eyes.

"Hey Rae…" He asked tenderly, "Is there something you want?"

She nodded slowly and her eyes darted down towards her chest then back up at him. He smiled and started kissing her again, her lips just as hungry as her eyes. But he only kissed her a little bit this time before he started trailing his kisses across her cheek. When he reached her neck, he gave her a little nibble and she whimpered.

She's gotten so sensitive to my touch in the past couple of weeks. He thought with a chuckle as he nibbled his way down her neck and across her collar bone. One of his hands gently grabbed her shirt and started slowly pulling it up as he started kissing down her chest very slowly. He stopped pulling up at the very peak of her breasts, where one little tug would reveal all to him. He looked up to her. She was trembling and breathing heavier, but she still nodded at him. He leaned down and took her shirt in his mouth…

…and the communicator went off.


Robin stood in the common room surround by Titans East and his other friends. He was tapping his foot impatiently, wanting to know why Raven and Beast Boy hadn't come out to greet the others yet. No sooner than he huffed in irritation did the call go through.

"Raven, wh-"

"YOU HAD BETTER HAVE A DAMN FINE REASON TO INTERRUPT, ROBIN." A demonic and otherworldly voice roared out of the communicator as a billowing black shadow burst from the little yellow device. The darkness quickly engulfed the room, sending the other titans scrambling for cover. Multiple sets of demonic red eyes opened, encompassing the whole room in their glare. They focused on the trembling Boy Blunder. "IS IT SLADE? TRIGON? IS THE CITY FALLING APART? DO TELL, DEAR ROBIN, I'M DYING TO KNOW WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT!"

"N-now Raven, I-I didn't know y-you were preoccupied! I'm sorry! I just thought you'd like to k-know that the Titans East are here, back with Seymour!" He stammered as quickly as he could, looking for some kind of escape.

The sound of a very irritated sigh filled the air and the shadows started to recede back into the communicator.

"We'll be out in a minute." Raven snapped and cut the line.

For a moment, Robin stood stone-still. Then he sank slowly to his hands and knees, shaking hard. Cyborg popped his head up from behind the TV.

"Dude, it's cool if you get Raven mad enough to kill you, but leave the rest of us out of it."

Starfire climbed out of a cabinet, let Aqualad out of the refrigerator, and then turned to her boyfriend. "Robin, I believe it is most unwise to bother…Raven…when she is meditating in the morning."

"Right…meditating." Came the shaky response.


Raven snapped the communicator shut and threw it across the room. It bounced off a wall and the dresser before landing and rolling under the closet door. Garfield wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her head as sighed irritably again.

"Hey Rae, why don' you meditate for a couple of minutes? I'll talk to Felix about using the litterbox again."

Raven nodded silently and assumed her lotus position in the middle of the floor.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion…"

Gar glanced at his meditating girlfriend before he shifted into a green tomcat. He walked over towards Felix, who hadn't flinched the least bit at Raven's outburst. The kitten growled at him.

Oh shut up. The changeling snapped.

What do YOU want? The kitten growled regardless.

You messed on the floor again!

The kitten was silent, so Gar snatched him up and carried him over to the litter box in the corner of the room and dropped him in.

Use it and remember to use it! I showed you how, for crying out loud!

Felix spat and hissed at him, to which Garfield growled. You know, Raven wasn't happy that you didn't use it.

That got the little black furballs' attention. She was mad? He mewed.

Yeah and she fussed at ME for it. The green cat huffed before he turned his stare to the floating girl. Look…just use it, okay? It'll make her happy.

The kitten looked at the unnatural feline for a long moment before he started scratching around. Okay.


About fifteen minutes later, Raven and Beast Boy walked into the common room together. Bumblebee noticed immediately but didn't say anything. Raven had her hood down, which was unusual. She had also walked in with Beast Boy, which was even more unusual. Bee gave Cyborg a questioning glance, but he didn't notice.

"Mornin' you two. Are you…feeling better this morning, Raven?" Cyborg asked slyly.

"I would have been feeling great if it wasn't for someone." The young sorceress mumbled just under her breath. Bee, who had been sitting close enough to hear this comment, raised her eyebrows and watched Raven approach the kitchen, Beast Boy at her side. She pulled a penny out of her pocket and flicked it at Cyborg. It tinged off his head and he turned to see her gesturing confusedly at her fellow Titans.

"Watch this." Cy whispered. Turning to the kitchen. "Hey B, Raven, why don't ya'll make breakfast for our friends? It could like a welcome back and welcome to the team mini-party!"

The teen couple stopped next to the table and looked at each other. Beast Boy jerked his head at the kitchen. "You wanna?"

"Sure." Raven nodded, then looked over her shoulder. "Felix, go play for a bit while I cook."

There was small meow and the little black kitten jumped out of her hood onto her shoulder, where she took him gently and set him on the floor. He scampered off to the living room, where some of his toys were. The jingling of a ball sounded in the air.

The older members of Titans East all looked at one another while Más y Menos dashed off to play with the kitten. Aqualad, Speedy, and Bumblebee all took seats at the table near the kitchen and watched something that was unbelievable.

"Hey Rae, whatcha want this morning?" Beast Boy asked as he slipped on an apron that read Beast of a Cook as Raven put one on that said Four More, Quoth the Cook.

"How about we make eggs, waffles, and bacon? Something simple since there are more of us today?" Raven opened the fridge and pulled out a few cartons of eggs, milk, bacon, and waffle mix with her magic.

"We just had eggs yesterday." Gar said, turning the stove on.

"No, we had breakfast fajitas yesterday. We had vegan omelets the day before and eggs the day before that." Raven rolled her eyes as she set the ingredients down and started cracking eggs into a bowl that her boyfriend had set out for her.

Gar rolled his eyes as well as his arms shifted to multiple octopus limbs. He took the waffle mix and set about to making several batches in separate bowls at the same time. "Aren't you supposed to be allergic to chicken?"

"No Gar, I'm allergic to chicken feathers, not eggs."

"Riiiight." He rolled his eyes fakely, causing Raven to throw an eggshell at him. It bounced off his head but was snatched out of the air by a tentacle and tossed in the trashcan. He chuckled and flipped the radio on with a free limb.

"Okay, what the heck is going on? When did you two get so friendly?!"

Garfield and Raven turned to look at Bumblebee, who had stood up and was leaning forward on her hands staring at them in amazement. Speedy and Aqualad wore the same expression.

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Why wouldn't I be friendly with my boyfriend?"

Three jaws hit the table and struggled to find the words of disbelief that ran screaming through their minds. Raven dating Beast Boy?!

"How…when…?" Aqualad choked out.

"Since the party." Raven glanced at him, her eyebrow still raised. Garfield looked at her in surprise.

"You consider us to be together that long?"

She nodded as she looked at him. "I thought about it and that's what felt right. Does it bother you?"

"HECK NO IT DON'T!" He practically shouted.

Raven smiled. "Great. Now turn the radio up, there's a good song starting."

"Watch this." Cyborg whispered and nudged Bumblebee in the arm lightly.

The other Titans watched in silence as the couple sang along with the song in tandem, moving in almost perfect synchronization with each other as they cooked. And thus they sang.

My head is haunting me and my heart feels like a ghost

I need to feel something, cause I'm still so far from home

Cross your heart and hope to die

Promise me you'll never leave my side

Show me what I can't see when the spark in my eyes is gone

You got me on my knees, I'm your one man cult

Cross my heart and hope to die

Promise you I'll never leave your side

Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need

I promise you you're all I see

Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need

I'll never leave

So you can drag me through Hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

They paused to kiss just once before starting again.

Come sink into me and let me breathe you in

I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen

So dig two graves cause when you die

I swear I'll be leaving by your side

So you can drag me through Hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you

So you can drag me through Hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

I will follow you, I will follow you

So you can drag me through Hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

Even as the song faded from the radio, the couple hummed it quietly. Raven bumped shoulders with her lover, to which he responded by leaning over and kissing her cheek. Smiling, Raven lifted several platters of fresh eggs, bacon, and waffles with her magic and set them on the table. Más y Menos immediately popped up and started speaking rapidly in Spanish to Beast Boy.

"Woah, hold on guys, I can't listen that fast." He waved his hands. They repeated what they said and he nodded. "Okay, four crispy waffles with blueberries, coming up!'

"You speak Spanish, Gar?" Raven looked at him, surprised.

"I can't speak it very well but I understand enough of the language to translate from Guatemalan." He said as he as he set up more waffles. He looked over at Raven. "Go ahead and eat, Rae, I'm gonna make a tofu omelet."

She nodded and joined her friends.

A few minutes and several waffles later, Raven was sipping her glass of orange juice when Gar finally sat down next to her. She crinkled her nose in disgust at the smell. Noticing, Gar started wolfing it down as fast as he could.

He stopped at the last bite, his eyes darting to his girlfriend. She shook her head.

"No way Gar, you know I don't even like the smell of it."

"Aw come on Rae, just one little bite? This is ten times better than any other tofu I offer you!" He set the last bit down on her empty plate.

She sighed. "I'll think about it. Just go ahead and finish off the waffles, I know you want to."

He laughed and piled his plate high with waffles. Before he could start chowing down though, Bumblebee stopped him with a question.

"Say Beast Boy, where did you go on Valentine's night?"

All five original members of Titans Central froze for a moment before resuming their meals. Raven and Beast Boy pointedly did not answer or even look at Bumblebee, who was becoming more suspicious by the second. Cyborg tried, in vain, to change the topic to football, then video games, then the weather.

Bumblebee had just leaned forward to say something else when Raven sighed irritably. "Just drop it, Karen."

"So you two DID-"

"Drop. It. Now." Raven said coldly.

"No way in hell, girl. This is too serious." Karen slammed her hand on the table. "What if you're-"

"I'm not."

"You can't expect me to believe-"

"I'm an empath, Karen. I think I would know better than anyone."

"Yeah? Well we all thought you hated Beast Boy's guts and look at what's in front of me!"

"Karen, what you are suggesting is physiologically impossible for me!" Raven shouted, making the building shake.

Bumblebee froze. "Impossible?"

Raven rubbed her temples, face in her hands. "Yes, impossible. Half-demons are sterile. It's been proven for thousands of years by magicians stronger than me and scientists smarter than me in societies ten times more advanced than ours that half-demons cannot have children."

"Oh…that's what ya'll are talking about, huh?" Gar said quietly.

Raven's head sunk. "I'm sorry Gar, I wasn't going to tell you until we were older."

"No big deal, Rae, I can't have kids either."

Her head jerked up and she looked at him. "What?"

"My DNA is too unstable for that kind of thing. It's like going out into space and singing a song, hoping that someone will hear it one day."

"When were you going to tell me?" Raven asked quietly.

"When we were older." He chuckled.

Raven laughed mirthlessly and wrapped her arm around his. She leaned her head against his with a hopeless smile. "We're just two of a kind, aren't we?"

Garfield laughed. "Pretty much, Rae. That also explains why you went all 'mommy' on the kitten."

"Shush." Raven bumped her head against his, then glanced down at his single bite of tofu omelet. She shrugged and grabbed her fork. Spearing the gross smelling food item, she popped it in her mouth before she could smell it.

And then promptly emptied her stomach all over her boyfriend.


Raven sat with her head in her hands in the living room as far from the vomit covered table and carpet as best as she could. Garfield had to leave the room altogether and shower just to get the stench off of him.

"That was absolutely horrible." Raven whispered. Bumblebee put her hand on her friend's shoulder and glanced towards the kitchen, where Aqualad was using his hydrokinetic powers to wash the remaining vomit-covered items and dump the water deep into the drain.

"Raven…I know what you said…but are you sure?" Karen said quietly.

The indigo-haired sorceress shook her head. "It's impossible, Karen, but I will admit there is something wrong with me. Something has been off for a couple of weeks now."

"What happened to going to Nevermore for answers?" Cyborg asked as he walked up and handed her a glass of water.

"I haven't gotten around to it." Raven said defensively as she sipped her water and looked away.

"Raven…are you being…lazy?" Cy asked, bug-eyed.

She glared at him. "No. I just haven't done it yet. I haven't felt like it."

Karen raised an eyebrow. "Then what have you felt like lately?"

The Azarathian girl shrugged. "Just tired. My emotions have been a bit unstable but it's been nothing to worry about. Nothing has blown up, at least."

"Been using the bathroom a lot?"

Raven raised an eyebrow. "I drink tea and water, so I'm pretty regular."

"Nausea?"

"Only when I smell that nasty tofu."

"Food cravings?"

Raven turned her head and stared at her friend questioningly. "No? I've tried some of Gar's vegan meals, but that's it."

"Sensitive…" Karen looked at the boys as they all walked up then back at Raven, "Skin?"

Raven looked uncomfortable. "A bit, yeah."

"Why don't we take this conversation elsewhere?" Karen took Raven by the arm and escorted her from the room, an uneasy looking Starfire in tow as well.


Karen shut and locked the infirmary door after checking to make sure they weren't followed. She turned to Raven, hands on her hips. "Okay girl, when was your last dot?"

Raven blinked. "My what?"

"Last monthly?"

"I still have no idea what you're talking about."

"Your last period! When was it?!" Karen practically shouted.

Raven stared at her friend and spoke simply. "I don't have those."

The look on Bumblebee's face cannot be transcribed into words as she stood there staring at the girl in front of her.

"What do you mean you don't have those?! You're a girl, aren't you?!" She sputtered.

"Karen, I'm only half human. And for that matter, the humans I'm descended from are from a different dimension. While the base origins of these humans are from Earth, they evolved differently over the course of 500 years due to the dimension they came to inhabit. I've never had an appendix, to give you an example. Combine that physiology with the fact that the other half of me is demon and their radically different physiology…" Raven shrugged.

Karen was almost speechless as she turned to Starfire. "Did you know about this?"

"I am afraid so, friend Karen." Starfire said meekly. "I must be truthful as well…I do not suffer from this 'period' that you speak of."

"She's alien, a whole different species altogether." Raven pointed out.

Karen sighed and looked pretty upset, but she pulled herself together. "Alright, fine then. But you're still taking the test."

"Test?" Star and Raven said at the same time.

"Yep." Karen went to the small yellow cabinet marked 'Ladies' and opened it up. She rooted around for a moment (taking note of all the dust in there), before pulled out a little box. She opened it up and handed a pen-like object to Raven.

"And just what am I doing with this?" Raven looked the pen up and down, noting the small rod on one end.

"You gotta pee on it."

Raven froze and then slowly looked to the insect-based heroine in front of her. "I what?"

"You heard me!" Karen said as she pushed Raven into the restroom and shut the door.

"This is utterly pointless." She heard Raven said on the other side of the door.


Fifteen minutes later, Raven stomped towards the infirmary.

"Hold on Raven, wait!" Karen called out.

"No, this is pointless!" Raven spat. "I've taken your damned test four times already and each one said negative!"

"Come on Raven, there's just one more. The rest could have just expired cause they've been in the cabinet for so long." Karen said weakly.

The young sorceress inhaled and exhaled to calm herself down, but she couldn't keep the bitterness from her voice. "No. Taking all those tests just rubs salt in the wound that I will never be able to have a child of my own. Just leave it be."

"I'm sorry Raven…I didn't mean it like that." Karen sighed quietly.

Before Raven could say anything else, the klaxon started to blare.

INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT ALL HANDS TO THE MAIN ROOM

Raven, Starfire, and Bumblebee bolted from the room, flying at high speed down the hallways.

When they reached the main room, they found very sickening sight to behold. There were only six intruders, but they were far more deadly than the standard foes the Titan's usually faced.

Raven immediately noted the largest one, a massively muscled African-American man in a tank top and blue jeans, had her lover by the throat an easy four feet off the ground. He sneered, his four demonic eyes narrowing, and released the changeling. But the unconscious shapeshifter didn't hit the ground. Instead, in mid-drop he was kicked hard in the abdomen. The sound of crunching bones was followed swiftly by screeching metal as he was launched through the northern doors.

"GARFIELD!" Raven screamed.

"Ah, so she is here." Another African-American man with four eyes said. This one was in a suit and clearly the leader. "Kill the others and capture our dear sister."

"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" The sorceress screamed as she thrust her hands forward, her magic blasting the suited man away and then hitting the larger man in the back. He cried out in pain and Raven glanced around.

Robin and Speedy were constantly dodging a very tall and thin half demon with long hair and massive claws. He was just as fast as the two of them but didn't quite have the reflexes to catch either one. They were constantly hitting him with arrows and birdarangs, but they showed little effect.

Sloth, she thought.

Starfire and Cyborg had their projectile attacks locked in combat with a short, bald, and very fat half demon, his own dark magic keep keeping pace and even beginning to overpower the two powerful Titans. He was drooling and eyeballing Starfire like she was some sort of prime rib roast.

Gluttony.

Más y Menos went tumbling by, beating each other as only children could do. A half demon in a silvery blue skin-tight body suit was following them, a blade of dark magic in his hands as he laughed at the children whom he had enchanted. See-More blasted him from behind, causing him to cry out in pain.

Lust.

Bumblebee flew forward and began blasting the suit wearing demon, not letting him recover from Raven's attack. He managed to block and launch a few attacks of his own, but he simply couldn't keep up with Karen's speed.

Greed?

Aqualad, on the other hand, was having an issue with his half demon opponent. Said demon had shapeshifted into Aquaman, of all people. Torn between fighting what appeared to be a four eyed version of the person he looked up to the most and the four eyed version of the person he hated the most, the young Atlantian just couldn't keep his balance mentally at all.

Definitely Envy.

Raven turned her eyes back to the largest of the half demons. Wrath.

Her magic propelled her forward at a neck breaking speed as she gathered a huge amount of magic in her hand to strike Wrath. Mere seconds before she could hit him, he jumped to the side out of her way and snatched her by the throat. He didn't hesitate to drive his fist into Raven's stomach three times then once in the head, knock the breath from her lungs and knocking her out.

Wrath looked over his shoulder. "Hey Greed, I got her."

"Good work, now bring out Pride and we'll kill these pathetic fools." Greed called out, earning another blast on the back from Bumblebee.

Wrath turned back to the unconscious girl in his hands and focused on her intently. In mere seconds he was blasted away from Raven. Picking himself up, he saw that Raven's demonic eyes had opened and her cloak had turned the color of dried blood.

"Sister Pride." He nodded.

"For what purpose do you fools seek me?" Pride/Raven's voice was quiet but the sheer weight of power behind it stopped all combat in the room. Titans and demons alike separated.

"We're here to take you from the pathetic ingrates you reside with, return you to your full demonic glory and resurrect Trigon." Greed said, rubbing his head where a nasty burn from Bumblebee's energy stingers was oozing.

"Trigon is dead, slain by my own hands in a purified state of mind."

"We are aware of this sister, but we have found were his essence lies in a pocket dimension. With our power, we can restore him and he will reward us with more power."

"It would take you centuries to resurrect him and you do not have the lifespan for such an act."

"We are aware of this also, sister, which is why we came to you…"

"I do not care if Trigon returns. I am content with what I have."

The demons looked at each other uneasily. Raven's demon half was not only supposed to be the strongest amongst them, but the most evil as well. She should have jumped at the opportunity to take control of the body and return their father to glory. This…was not expected.

Wrath snorted. "Then we will take you by force."

"Is that so?" Pride/Raven sneered. "That's adorable, but you'll have to get past my guardian first."

Gluttony snorted. "These weaklings? I'll eat them before long. Especially the red-heads, they're so tasty!"

Pride/Raven's dark and mocking laughter filled the room, drowning out all other sound. Titan and demon alike stared at her until she stopped. She made as if wiping a tear away from her eyes, never minding the blood pouring down from her forehead where Wrath had struck her.

"Poor, stupid Gluttony. You never were the brightest of my brothers, just the one with the largest reserves of magic." She sneered again before turning to the destroyed doors nearby.

"BEAST! I SUMMON YOU! YOUR PACK NEEDS YOU! YOUR MATE NEEDS YOU!"

A low growl sounded from the hallway, followed by the crackling of bones. The growl got louder and louder, vibrating the very walls of the room. The sheer ferocity and feral madness that reverberated within the sound made the Titans retreat to the outer edges of the room. The demons didn't miss this and fell back into a defensive formation.

And then it stepped out of the shadows of the hallway.

Easily ten foot tall and twice the width of Wrath, the green furred creature was nothing less than a nightmarish mass of rippling muscles with claws like serrated knives, teeth like swords, and a murderous look in its feral eyes.

"What in the hells is that?" Envy gulped, suddenly feeling very small.

"This, dear brothers, is my guardian, my mate, my love, and the single most important thing to me in all of existence." Pride/Raven purred as the Beast stopped in front of her. It leaned down and sniffed her, giving the gash on her forehead a small lick. It immediately stopped bleeding and closed up, the healing factor in the Beast's saliva reacting with the wound. The Beast rubbed his head against Pride/Raven's head and made a soft noise that sounded like a snuffled woof.

"Yes my love, I am alright. I missed you as well." The demoness murmured softly. "Are your wounds healed?"

The Beast snuffle-woofed again, leaning over more as his head traveled down towards her stomach. He sniffed for a moment and then rubbed his head gently against her as he purred.

"So you know, hmm?" Pride/Raven smiled and rubbed his head. Another snuffled-woof and she laughed a little, this one soft. "You're right; I could hide it from Raven but not from you."

She turned her attention to the demons, which were standing and staring warily at this new opponent. The demoness took her mate's head and pulled it up to hers' to look him in the eye. "My love, these demons seek to take me from you and harm us. Will you kill them for me?"

The Beast turned his head slowly and looked at the demons, licking his protruding fangs. Wrath snorted.

"Enough of this bullshit! It's just an animal!" He roared before charging the verdant beast in front of him. The Beast met him with an open grapple and they locked hands, straining against each other. Wrath grinned and pulsed his power through his hands, seeking to make his opponent lose control and reason. The Beast seemed to snarl and smile at the same time as his bones crackled once more, his skin becoming tighter as it added and condensed more muscles onto his frame. Within minutes, Wrath was being bent over backwards, much to his horror.

"Oh, dear Wrath, I forgot to mention something. My mate and I are bonded. The more wrath you fill him with, the more it feeds me. The more powerful I become, the more the stronger our bond is. The stronger our bond is, the stronger my beast is." She laughed. "It's an amazing cycle, really. We could in theory, ascend to godhood at some point just from feeding each other in such a way."

"Where did this monster come from?" Wrath gasped as his back bones started to break.

"Remember the little green guy you kicked through the door a few minutes ago?"

Wrath suddenly remember his constant insulting of the changeling, telling him that he was weak and useless, a disgrace to anyone that had the ability to fight. He looked up into the eyes of the Beast and cursed.

"Oh, fuck."

The Beast snapped his head forward and ripped half of Wrath's face and all of this throat out with his jaws. Wrath dropped, dying as he hit the floor. Pride/Raven's guardian raised his head to the ceiling and howled his victory.

Now in a full state of bloodlust, he sprung towards the remaining demons, ripping Greed in half at the waist. Greed collapsed on the floor, reaching out for Sloth, the fastest of them. Sloth shook his head, opened a portal and vanished into it. Envy and Lust followed almost instantly, but Gluttony ran forward and began to blast his sister with all the energy he had stolen from Starfire and Cyborg, plus his own.

"You bitch! You were supposed to lead us to glory and all the power we could dream of!" He snarled, forcing his magic to its utmost limits to try to kill her.

The demoness, on the other hand, was barely fazed by the amount of magic she had to expel to counter his attack. She stood there smiling.

"What the fuck are you smiling for?!" Gluttony screeched. His half-sister pointed behind him and he turned just in time to see the back of the Beast's hand connect with his head. Blood covered the wall, as did chunks of flesh and bone from the demons head. Gluttony's corpse toppled to the ground, spurting blood.

The Beast growled, sniffing the air to make sure the surviving demons had left. Satisfied, he stomped over to his mate. She embraced him with a happy sigh.

"That was wonderful, my love."

The verdant animal wrapped his powerful arms around her, lifted her off the ground and set her gently on the counter. She smiled at him once more and cradled his head against her chest, his purrs sending a shiver of delight through her body.

"Um…Raven?" A small voice spoke up.

Pride/Raven looked up from petting her mate and saw the Titans standing on the far side of the room.

"I actually forgot you were here, to be honest." The demoness chuckled darkly, then pointedly stared at Bumblebee. "You can administer another test when we return to consciousness. My power will be too weak to hide it from Raven."

"Hide what?" Bumblebee asked shakily, looking around at all the blood in the room.

"The child in our womb, of course." She sighed. "I was going to hide it from her as long as possible, but these idiots had to show up and make me expend most of the power I had shielding the child from prying eyes such as yours."

"But…you said…and Beast Boy said…"

Two of the demonic eyes closed and Raven teetered to the side as Garfield began to shift back into his human form, albeit unconscious. She caught herself and looked Karen dead in the eye before she passed out. "My dear, anything can be done with magic if you're creative enough. And this was no accident."


Aw shit, who was expecting that?!-Foamy
