A/N: well it is here the fore last chapter…I would kindly ask people who are too sensitive to not read this, the mentioned theme is not a pleasing thing so if you don't want to read it either leave the chapter or skip it. Actually the M rating is out because of this…

P.S.: Know that it is short…

IX. Broken picture


Everyone stared shell shocked at the blood covered Adonis when Brendan floated up to his body, glare never lessening while mixed with disgust.

"Pitiful, you are lucky that I'm no ripping you to peaches you filthy scum." he growled while Rea landed by the three children.

"Phoenix Logan, I hope you know how much you scared us at home." she said while giving a disapproving look at Onyx who tried not to flinch.

"Hey Rea, long time not seen." Tech said as he hurried over finally catching the other's attention.

"Ricky, it is really since long ago." she replied with a smile while hugging her friend briefly. "Would you mind keeping one eye on the two girls till I get Brendan calmed down?"

"Sure thing, would do the same, but I1m not planning to be bitten, your bro has one hell of sharp canines." Rea only laughed before making her way over to her twin who was still glaring at the helpless man in front of him.

Meanwhile had also Rubin flown over to get her brother as quick as possible while the past Titans stared at the scene. Robin and Cyborg had immediately recogrinaised the little girl, she was the one whom Slade wanted so badly to posses. They were also shocked at the intense cruelty with which Brendan had handled Adonis and it looked like the same went for Storm who seemed to have forgotten that the other was currently not in a happy mood.

"Brendan Mark Logan, what do you think you are doing!" Stormfire asked outraged as he walked up to his ex-tem mate whom turned around glaring at him.

"Just taking care of something which you should be holding in place, but oh I nearly forgot you great leaders don't mind to have loss on your side." Brendan said with a mocking smirk on his lips.

"How dare you…" Storm growled while the other only shrugged.

"What, isn't it the truth or tell me now Storen'r wouldn't you even sacrifice your own siblings to get what you want just like your bastard of a father did with my mother?" Brendan asked, taking a step closer to the other. Sensing that it would not be a for kids suitable conversation had Tech already put specially made earplugs in to the ears of the youngest ones.

"I would never do such a thing! Beside that is my father a great leader and a honorable person." Storm snapped, hands surrounded by dark blue starbolts.

"Friend Robin, why is Friend Beast Boy's and Friend Raven's son so mean to our son?" Star asked, but Robin didn't answer, he didn't need to be an empath to feel the hatred emitting from the teen at the sight of the son of that man whom betrayed his mother's trust and friendship like that.

"This is certainly not good." They heard suddenly a female voice before they eyes fell on an older looking Jinx hurrying in they direction with past Raven and Beast Boy.

"Oh really, then tell me only one thing why was for him the fact more important to be the one catching Slade and not letting murder him for that what he dared doing to her…THAT BASTARD KIDNAPPED MY MOTHER IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST MONTH OF HER PREGNANCY AND CUT MY SISTER OUT OF HER WOMB!" Brendan screamed letting everyone's blood run cold, when suddenly Beast appeared laying a hand on his son's shoulder as they stood back to back.

"Brendan, that is enough now." he said in a calm tone.

"Dad…" exclaimed the twins when they also noticed now they mother who was holding Phoenix whom still tried to figure out why she couldn't hear a word.

"W…what…" Beast Boy exclaimed before glaring at Robin, his hand grasping Raven's.

"Uh…"

"Robin…you will let that bastard do that to Raven and then even SAVE HIM!" Beast Boy snapped, feeling the Beast rage inside of him.

"Friends…" Star started, but her daughter shook her head.

"I told you that you wouldn't like to know." Vic said sadly as he stood there with his family, waiting for Beast to calm Brendan down while Rubin quickly grabbed her brother and ragged him to the others before he got hurt.

"And here I thought the worst thing is that because of the damned potion Slade will inject in to my eyes and I lose the power to see demons in they human forms will be the worst." Beast Boy continued, his hand never leaving Raven's who was staring at her older self who nodded sadly while tightening her grip around her daughter who snuggled up to her mother, sensing her discomfort.

"You guys were told that the future is dark and we tried to keep the mistakes a secret leading up to this very day, but we should have known better." replied older Raven as she watched the rest of her family approaching while behind the sun started setting. After getting the devices from the kids ears turned she again back to the past Titans.

"I will now send you back in to your time, but will not take the memories way. It will be now up to you to decide which path you will be walking." Raven told them while the past Titans exchanged glances, they knew what went wrong and what needed to be stopped before happening, but the truth had wounded they trust in the other. "Stand there in a group, I will open a portal under you." the group nodded and soon disappeared.

"Well then, we should head back to Garidant, everyone is already on edge thanks to you." Beast said to his daughter while signaling to his son that he should follow.

"Sorry for causing trouble." Phoenix said sadly she knew that even thought today had held many fun things that there were also many bad happenings.

Both Beast and Raven nodded as later opened a portal to the demonic dimension sending they three children through before turning around.

"Jinx, you and Diane can stay for a few days with the rest of your family." Raven replied to her friend who nodded, taking a step closer to her family knowing that her friend felt that she now needed them after the horrible reminder as to what happened three years ago just as Raven needed her family.


Meanwhile in the past again were he Titans standing inside the Ops room, a heavy silence wrapped around them. No one knew what they could say, Star wanted to fly over to Raven and comfort her, but she didn't know what to say to cheer her up, Cyborg felt himself being torn in two parts Beast Boy was his best mate and Raven was like a little sister to him and then something so disgusting like that happens to them an Robin will make it even worse, yes though still Robin was also good friend who was even thought somewhat stuck up still tried to be there for them and to protect them just like in that time they had those mini bombs in they bloodstream. Robin on he other hand felt still disgusted by himself, oh he was such a great leader, a leader who lets such things happen to his team. He was a disappointment end he really didn't need any sort of empathic powers or to even look up to know that the dark truth they future selves tried to hide from them had damaged the teams trust in to each other. From today on he would need to try hard to at least smoother the damage and fight even harder to hold they group together from breaking apart now in a third future.

On the other side of the room had Beast Boy still his arms protectively around a shaking Raven, trying to calm her before something exploded, but he wouldn't blame her if she lost control, she had every right to do so. He felt the Beast inside of him trash around in bloody furry at the thought of someone daring to hurt they chosen mate and cub. He would later after Raven gets to bed go out and allow himself a little Slade hunt. He may not like the taste of meat, but he will certainly enjoy the taste of Slade's warm blood and guts in his mouth after he finally found him an took care about the man.

No one hurt what was his and could get away with it, he would also deal later with Robin if he dares to get annoying again.
