Chapter 10: Lust

Down in the lower levels of the Tower, the unconscious Bumble Bee and Zatanna were housed in seperate containment cells and sealed tight, but as an added measure, they included power-canceling collars. StarMouse was currently on Robin's shoulder squeaking and sniffing around, but mostly nuzzling the side of his head tenderly. Robin let out a small smile towards the soft orange mouse which caused him to blush slightly. Beast Boy had traveled quietly to both Raven, and Drake's room to check on their occupants. From what he was able to hear, they were both doing fine, just exhausted from shouting and yelling non-stop. He didn't dare use his usual strategy of evasdropping by sneaking into their rooms in the shape of an ant for fear that the spell they were under would cause them to notice him immediately.

That just left their "guest".

The Jinx imposter sat in one of the interrogation rooms which held two metal chairs and a solid metal table, currently she was cuffed to a small ring in the center of the table. She sat staring at the two way mirror with a lustful stare, a small smile on her face. Occasionally she would glance at the video camera at the upper corner of the room, where she knew she was being watched. Currently the four boys, plus StarMouse were watching from an observing room with different video feeds going into the different cells. The main one in focus was the Jinx doppleganger.

Robin kept his eyes on the moniter that led to the imposters cell, he was looking for any sort of tell, or weakness he could exploit when he questioned her. So far she was still, besides glancing back and forth between the mirror and the camera. Other then that she didn't show any emotion or movement.

The others in the room with him were just as stoic.

Beast Boy was leaning against the wall deep in thought, while Drake sat on one of the tables leaning his head against the wall swinging his legs back and forth. The most concerning memeber at this point was Cyborg. He too had his arms crossed over his massive metalic chest staring down at the moniter of the fake Jinx, no emotion on his face but a deep scowl. This unnerved Beast Boy the most. The last time he saw Cyborg like this was when he went pure robot with the chip in his head. He didn't like it then and he didn't like it now.

Finally Beast Boy had to break the silence. "So go through it one more time. What the hell is she?" Beast Boy asked.

Robin didn't turn to face him when he answered. "She is a living imbodiment of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Lust." He answered.

Even if Beast Boy knew what that meant he still had to ask. "Look I know what the Seven Sins are, I've seen the movie, but what does that have to do with her? And why is one of them in our tower making our friends go all psycho?" No one seemed to have an answer for that.

Except one.

"Think of it as just stretching their legs." came a british accent by the door of the observing room. The king of Demons Landon walked into the center of the semi-circle the Titans formed. "Hello boys." He turned to Drake. "This is what I needed to talk to you about, but you were too busy in butterfly net territory."

Drake shrugged. "Still am. Now do you want to tell us what the hell is going on, or are you just gonna stand there and look pretty?"

Landon smirked. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful darling." Landon walked over to the moniter looking down the interrogation rooms occupant and let out a small snort. "So this is Lust? How cliche." Landon turned to the others. "Well to start, you need to know that when I became king of the pit there was a lot of cleaning up I had to do, this you already know. What you didn't know was that one of my projects was cleaning up the mess Trigon had made during his tenure, and this includes his followers on earth."

"Trigon had followers?" Robin asked.

"Of course. How else did you think Raven was brought into this world? A ritual was performed by his followers to allow Trigon access into this world for a short time, and while he was here he had a one night stand with Raven's mother, Arella. Against her will of course. She was under the impression she was going to be the bride of the all powerful demon king. Well we all know how well that went."

The oxygen in the room was gone. They had known that Trigon was Raven's father, but the particulars as to how that happened were unknown to them and they didn't care either way. Plus once they defeated Trigon they never wanted to think about the four-eyed demon again.

Landon let that register for a moment before continuing. "Not long after that, she was found by the monks of Azarath and yada yada yada here we are now. I apologize though for being the one to tell you this, but you have to know for what I am about to tell you. After Raven was conceived and then born, Trigon's loyalists searched for the child. However since dimensional hoping is foreign to most, they never found her. Once she came into this world his followers were told to leave her be until the time her destiny was to be fullfilled."

The room got even more tense once the incident was brought up.

Picking up on this Drake turned to Landon. "It seems that's a sensitive subject here so you might wanna skip to the end."

Landon nodded. "Well the rest you already know. What you don't know is that Trigon fathered thousands of children throughout hundreds of different dimensions trying to get the right candidate for the job. And lucky you, it was your own darling Raven."

Once again the boys couldn't speak. Thousands of children? And the one that just happened to be his portal was their best friend?

"You still haven't gotten to the part about the Seven Sins." Cyborg said sternly. Not once had he looked away from the moniter of the fake Jinx.

"I'm getting to that. See once Trigon fell his followers returned. Trigon can't be killed only contained and weakend. Raven beat him back so bad there was no way he would come back to this world, not at full power at least. However there are always ways for someone as devious as Trigon to get what he wants. You remember I mentioned he fathered thousands of children over different dimensions? Well seven of them had a particular place in his heart. Care to guess which ones?"

Robin whiped his head over to stare at Landon so fast, StarMouse almost fell off. "So wait, Trigon birthed the Seven Sins?" asked Robin.

"Yes and no. You see the Sins are as old as time itself, maybe older, Trigon just gave them bodies. However the Monks of Azarath locked them away, and if they were ever released they would be able to free their father from his prison. That is where I came in. Ever since I was made King, Trigon's followers have been trying to replicate the ritual that brought ol' four-eyes into this world for his booty call. However the spell is unique. It will call the king of demons which happens to be me, however that all changed a few weeks ago.

"My associates and I discovered a ritual performed and I wasn't summoned, but one of the Seven Sins was. Since then we have been trying to stop the followers of Trigon from releasing any more of the spawn, and we are doing a very piss poor job of it." He turned to the moniter. "Obviously."

It wasn't quiet for as long this time around. "How many have escaped?" Drake asked.

"By my count, four. Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and now Lust." Landon pointed with his thumb at the screen behind him. "By the way with Lust here what has been happening?" Everyone in the observation room got awkwardly quiet. Landon looked at each of them one by one. "Don't make me read your minds now. I want the deets."

With everyone still uncomfortably silent Drake spoke keeping in to the bare bones. "The Titan girls were attacking us with intense desire."

"Well except for Starfire." Robin motioned to the orange mouse on his shoulder. "She tried to literally kill my friend."

Landon seemed more interested in the fact that there was a mouse on Robin's shoulder. "That mouse is Starfire?" StarMouse squeaked while nodding her head up and down.

"Why now?" Drake asked hoping to change the subject. "Why have people been trying to summon the Seven Sins all of a sudden?"

Landon took his eyes of StarMouse. "This is the part you might not like. To be honest it started accidently. Seeing as how Raven is Trigon's chosen, this whole mess didn't start until she started to give in to her demonic heritage, which was when Carnus attempted to kill her." Landon heard a low growl coming form Beast Boy's chest, which for some reason he found amusing. Ah Young love.

"So where does that leave us?" Drake asked.

"Now we need to know where the other sins are planning on being released," Landon turned to the screen again, "and we have the perfect interrogation subject."

Drake stood up from the table he sat on and approached the demon. "You know how to interrogate something that isn't even a demon?"

Landon scoffed. "Please I was Carnus's finest student in the art of torture and interrogation. Besides, her feminine wiles wont work on me. You know, no soul and all."

"Dosen't mean she'll talk." Drake said crossing his arms.

Robin stepped foreward. "I was taught by the Batman himself in the art of getting the truth out." He had a slight smirk on his face as he began to stroke StarMouse on her little fuzzy head.

Landon rolled his eyes. "Please. I give you four seconds before she has you drolling over that adorable mouse on your shoulder. You being human and all."

Robin was about to argue back, but Landon actually gave him an idea.

Lust-Jinx began to tap impatiently on the table in front of her, you'd think she would be cold still in her lingerie from before, but she found the goosebumps that decorated her skin made it better to tease her captors. She wondered which one it would be? Maybe the Boy Wonder? That could be fun, but he was such a prude. Maybe the Robot? He had a lot of angst in his mind that she could play with. Maybe the Knight? Ooh the fun she could have with him. She giggled with delight on the edge of her seat waiting for when her plaything came through the door.

FInally she heard the click and creak of the door slowly opening and revealed her guest for the evening, she was honestly suprised to see who was walking in. Her stunned pink eyes met the brilliant emerald of the team goofball.

Beast Boy put on straight face as he took a seat from the ancient being in front of him. Lust-Jinx smirked at him.

"I have to admit, I was not expecting this. I was expecting the Boy Wonder or the Knight. To be honest I wanted the Knight, he has some juicy stuff in that pretty head of his." She leaned on the table making sure her pale breasts were staring him in the face. "May I ask why they sent you?"

Beast Boy cleared his throat, doing his best to keep his eyes locked with hers. Even if she wasn't the opbject of his desire they were still boobs damn it. "They think I may have an immunity to your power."

She tilted her head in genuine confusion while licking her teeth. "And why is that?"

Beast Boy noticed her confusion got more confident. "Well, when our friend was turned into a mouse she was released from your spell. Robin was able to deduce the reason is because animals don't feel Lust, at least not in the sense that humans do. So in short my animal instincts are protecting me from your power."

Lust-Jinx raised her brows in genuine admiration for the changeling. "I have to admit that it is pretty clever of you. So how about we put that theory to the test then." Her eyes flashed from a pink to violet then she slowly became the women of Beast Boy's desire. Lust took the shape of his friend and teammate Raven, complete with the a jade green corset she had worn when she had tried to seduce Beast Boy earlier. To her utter shock he was holding on quite well. He barely flinched when she changed shape, but she had more cards to play.

"Hmm how about we try something more familier." Lust-Raven then shifted again. Still as Raven but dressed in her signature blue cloak and black leotard. Beast Boy held on though, keeping a straight face and arms crossed, but Lust was good. "How about..." She shifted again, still in Raven form, but now her hair was longer and her cloak and leotard was a pure white, just as she was when she defeated her father. "...this."

Beast Boy gulped visibly enough that she knew she hit the nail on the head. To be honest he loved this look on Raven. Her hair longer with her cloak a snow white. He often fantasized about her looking like this and the doppleganger in front of him knew this, which just proved a theory the boys in the observation room had been working on. "So you can read minds then huh?"

She clicked her tounge in thought. "Yes and no. If you were to think of a number between 1 and 10, I couldn't tell you what it was. But I can see the object of your bodies desires."

Beast Boy raised a brow slightly at one particular part of her comment. "You mean 'what my heart desires'?"

Lust-Raven giggled. "No. Lust is about the body wants. You know 'Sins of the flesh' and all that. Again this puts you at an advantage because animals aren't concerned about what the body wants, they are driven by a need. The need to eat, sleep, mate. That kind of thing."

Beast Boy once again flinched, but this time he wasn't to happy about being called an animal. "So this is the grand master plan then huh? Make our friends go psycho with lust, then what, make them kill us if we say no?"

Once again Lust-Raven giggled, but it was going more towards a laugh. "You humans are so funny. You see, my brothers and I don't have to do much for people to 'go crazy' as you put it. You see everyone suffers from Lust, Greed, Laziness, Wrath and so on to some degree, we just remove the roadblocks people put up in their minds. The things that make them say 'they can't', we remove and replace with, 'why not'? What's hilarious is that you humans just have to have someone to blame when things go wrong." Her voice got whinney as she spoke in a mocking pout. "Oh the devil made me do it. Oh it's just how I am. I can never change. Blah blah blah. You see we may be the imbodiment of your sins, but we have never forced anyone to do anything, and It's been that way since your kind took the first bite of the fruit, and it will be that way till the last human takes It's final breath." Beast Boy seemed genuinely interested in what this entitiy was telling him. Seeing the interest in his eyes she tilted her head looking him over curiously. "You are quite a wonder Mr. Logan."

Beast Boy faught to keep his stoic expression, committed not to buy into her flattery. "How do you figure?"

Lust-Raven looked into his eyes thoughtfully. Beast Boy was aware she was reading his mind but he didn't know how to kick her out. "You care so much for my sister. Just a common demon, and you care about her more then anything in this world. How curious."

Beast Boy fought to keep his body language neutral, but he hated how this thing referred to his friend as her sister. "She isn't your sister. She's ours."

Lust-Raven saw this and she squealed in delight. "Oh wow. You got it bad don't you? You don't see her as a sister and you know it. Can't hide it from me, Mr. Logan. Don't missunderstand, Lust isn't a bad thing after all."

"I beg to differ." Beast Boy responded quickly.

She tilted her head in a flirtasious manner. Beast Boy had to continuely remind himself that this wasn't the real Raven, and so his heart needed to stop fluttering at her teasing gestures. "Lust is fleeting and short lived. Love, real love lasts forever. Love helps people become better people, it is warm and comes with open arms and an open heart. Lust is nothing more then an open appetite."

Lust-Raven searched his eyes again. "Hm you actually believe that? Interesting."

Beast Boy wanted to get passed this. "What are you planning?" he asked in a snarl.

Lust-Raven laughed again. "Why do I have to be planning anything? Can't a girl have fun once in a while? And believe me..." she shifted again, but this time she took the form of Terra. "...I am having so much fun." She leaned back in her chair, the cuff taunt on her wrists. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret, because I think you are just so cute." She shifted again but this time into Starfire. "There is no plan. There never has been a plan. You see our father can be released once all of us have been set free from our cages. Once we're out it dosen't matter what we do. The doors have been opened so the locks that keep my father bound are broken." She shifted again into Kole. "Once we walk among you we can do whatever we want. We can chose to serve our father, or go forth and cause chaos in his name. Me personally. I like the chaos idea."

Beast Boy let all of this sink in. It was sick. She was toying with people because it was fun for her. "Where's Jinx?" he asked finally.

Lust-Kole scrunched her face in thought before changing into Jinx again. "Hmmm last I saw her, she was bleeding in a ditch not far from the Titans North tower."

Beast Boy's sharp ears picked up the yell of his best friend coming from the obervation room, causing Lust-Jinx to do a mock pout. "Awe did I say something wrong?" The next thing either of them knew, Cyborg burst through the door and leapt for the doppleganger. He grabbed her by her neck and pinned her against the wall, ripping the cuffs off of the table.

"CY!" Beast Boy shouted getting to his feet, but was stunned to see Cyborg's sonic cannon aimed right between his eyes. Beast Boy shut his mouth and sat back down, then Cyborg aimed his cannon at the imposter.

"Where. Is. She?" he growled over the hum of his weapon.

She grinned. "Like I said, in a ditch somewhere by her tower." Cyborg dropped the fake Jinx and stormed out of the room.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Cyborg felt a bubbling rage in the pit of his robotic stomach. Once he knew this wasn't Jinx he just got angrier with each second, especially after humiliating him in front of Sarah. He was tired of his friends getting hurt, tired of them dying, tired of demons. He often considered himself a respecter of life, especially being a hero, but these things didn't deserve to live in his opinion. He was ready to slaughter every single one of them, if it meant keeping his family safe, his respect for life waning each day they still lived.

He headed for the stairwell that would lead him to the T-ship. At least that was the plan until his leader stood in his way. Seeing his friend tare out of there he leapt into action, but first gave StarMouse to Drake.

"Cyborg you can't go now!" Robin shouted.

Cyborg glared at the Boy Wonder noticing that StarMouse was gone. "Get out of my way Robin." Cyborg made an attempt to move past him but Robin didn't budge. "Get out of my way." He growled through his teeth.

"Cyborg you leave now we'll be down a man and we can't afford that right now."

With one massive hand Cyborg pushed Robin against the wall, he didn't mean to shove him hard but the sound of slight cracking from the back of Robin's head made him feel bad...for a second. "I am going to find her."

"No I am!" Cyborg turned to see Landon already on his phone. "I sent a search party to look for your friend. They should have something to report in a matter of minutes."

Cyborg stood their stunned for a second but quickly came back. "No I've got to find her." He turned again to leave but froze as he was surrounded by black smoke. He felt the familiar cold sensation he would feel when Raven would teleport them. The darkness wrapping around him then before he could blink his world began to swirl in a mixture of black and white colors. Teleporting always made him feel like he was on a rollarcoaste ride, the way his stomach dropped and the landings were always rough.

He hit the ground, which was now loose soil and twigs, with a thud on one knee before lifting his head to look at his surroundings. He was deep in a dark forest that he had never been to before, but through the trees he could see the familiar look of a T shaped tower standing in the middle of the forest. Above him he could hear wooshing sounds going through the tops of the trees causing leaves, pincones and loose branches to fall with a clink on his body armor. Looking up he could see clouds of black smoke flying through the trees at amazing speed. He couldn't count how many clouds he saw but they flew in every direction and seemed to be searching for something.

Cyborg was too busy looking at the smoke to see Landon standing next to him. He jumped from being startled. "What the hell did you do?"

"I teleported us by the Titan North tower. That is were Sin slut said she would be yes?"

"Well yeah," Cyborg looked up at the smoke, "are those demons?"

Landon looked up at the individual clouds of smoke. "Those loyal to me yes." One of the clouds flew towards them and began to fly around Landon specifically. Cyborg could hear soft whispering coming from the cloud that sent a chill down his robotic spine. The cloud flew away and Landon turned to Cyborg.

"This way." Landon began to walk in a direction to the right of the clearing they were standing, but Cyborg broke out in a run following the cloud that was flying away.

"Please be ok." he whispered. She needed to be ok. Wait? Where is this coming from? He hadn't given Jinx a second thought since his time undercover at the H.I.V.E academy, now all of the sudden he was running through the woods to find her? Maybe it was because Wally didn't have his powers to watch over her? Yeah thats it. He was just being a good friend thats all. Cyborg tore through the forest, running through thick bushes and fallen logs, not caring what was in his way and finally came to a clearing with a bunch of black clouds circling around one spot. There was a small ditch underneath the cloud and what he saw in the center of the ditch made his heart stop...if he had one.

The blackness of the forest hid the girl, which Cyborg thought was odd since her moonlight skin woud have shown up even in the darkness of the trees. Cyborg had to change his robotic eye into It's nightvision mode to see her. Jinx lay in the center of the ditch, unconsious and unmoving. Without a second of hesitation Cyborg leapt into the ditch and ran to her side and began to scan her with his eqiupment while his eyes looked her over from the outside.

Her lip was split, and both of her eyes were black. Her hair was disheveled, no longer the horn like look he was used to, but now it was matted over her face with blood causing her hair to stick to her skin. Continuing to examine her he could see her arm was broken and at least her right leg as well, her clothes were ripped, torn and covered with her blood. Finally her internal scan was comeplete and Cyborg paled.

Sure enough her left arm and right leg were broken, and she had lost a lot of blood. A few of her organs seemed to have been shredded and ripped apart...and her heart wasn't beating.

"NO!" he shouted. He grapped her head and gently turned it to face him. "Jinx," he said softly, "come on. Wake up." She made no movement. No sound.

"Cyborg." Cyborg turned around to see Landon standing there, his minions flying around him causing his dark trenchcoat to flap about in the wind. "I'm sorry-"

"NO! Not like this!" Cyborg pulled some of the armor off of his arm and ripped out a few wires that crackled with electricity. Landon stood back watching curiously as the robotic teen struggled to save his friend. Cyborg let out a yell as he put the two wires against the sorceresses chest. Her body convulsed for a moment, arching on her back, before falling limp again.

No pulse.

Landon reached out his powers allowing them to flow over the girl. He could detect no signs of life, and yet the soul hadn't left her body. Odd.

Shocked her again. And again. And again. And again.

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGG." Cyborg put as much of his energy into this final zap sending the volts into the girls body in a disperate attempt to start her heart. Her body once again convulsed against the electric shock, but once it was finished she, again, was motionless.

For a few seconds.

She let out a series of small coughs causing Landon to stare in complete shock at what he was seeing. He couldn't feel anything from the girl, and now she was breathing?

Cyborg held her face close to his. "Jinx? Jinx?" She wasn't moving again but she was letting out shallow breaths. "Landon you have to-" He was interrupted when he saw a stream of black smoke leave Landon's hand and shove itself into the girls mouth. She arched her back, excepting the black smoke before falling onto her back again.

Cyborg looked at him with a worried look. "Relax. This will keep her heart beating while I teleport us back to your tower." Cyborg nodded in understanding as Landon wrapped them in his own smoke and teleported them back to Cyborg's tower.

XXXXXXXX

Beast Boy scrambled off of the chair only to be kicked in the chest. he stumbled backwards but the triped over the chair crashing to the ground. Looking at his assailant he could see Lust-Jinx standing over him, still cuffed, and smiling. Beast Boy attempted to get back up but he was forced back down with a boot down on his chest.

Lust had shifted back into Raven and had the heel of her boot pressing him down against the floor. She sighed shaking her head. "Humans. Such silly predictable creatures."

"Hey!" Lust-Raven looked up to see Drake standing there. He held the blade he carried in a forward grip fighting stance.

Lust-Raven scoffed. "You think a piece of a blade made from angel blood is going to do anything against me?"

Drake shrugged. "Maybe not, but at least It's pointy." Drake charged at the Raven look-a-like with the blade still in the forward grip position an attempt to stab entity. She dodged most of the blows but the ones that connected burned her horribly. She stepped back upon realising that his blade can indeed hurt her, but she had one more trick to spring on the Knight.

She shifted once again but this time Beast Boy didn't recognize the women but Drake did. Drake nearly dropped the blade looking at the new shape the entity had taken.

"Drake who is that?" Beast Boy asked as he got to his feet.

The new women turned her aqua blue eyes to him. "I'm his first, and only love Garfield."

The women was elegant and beautiful leaving Beast Boys mouth hanging open.

Drake fell in love with her? he thought. Whoa.

She was just a few hairs shorter then Drake, who stood at 6'1, she had a slender build with a slight set of curves. She wore a long crystal-blue dress that left her shoulders bare with a slight hint of cleavage. Her torso was covered with a cyrstallized bodice along with translucent, powder blue sleeves. At the bottom of her dress by the right leg was a knee-high slit that showed off her elegant legs as she walked. Her platinum blonde hair was braided tightly and matched her pale skin very well. There was a light dusting of purple make-up over her eyes with her soft lips colored a light pink. Attached to her bodice was a long clear cape that was decorated with snowflakes.

She folded her hands in front of her and stared at the two boys, but mostly at Drake. Drake gripping the blade tighter in anger.

"You...bitch..." he growled, reffering to Lust of course.

"Now now Drake. You'll want to watch your language in front of a Queen." Lust said.

"Dude she's a queen too?" Beast Boy gaped.

"Oh yes my dear friend." Lust began to walk towards Drake ignoring the changeling. "And she loved him. With everything she had she loved him." Drake didn't budge as Lust was mere inches from his face. Beast Boy, unsure of what to do, just moved to the side yet still had his animal instincts ready to strike if he had to.

Lust moved so her nose was barely touch Drake's. "You loved her too. Such a sweet tale, except for the whole happily ever after part, when you abandoned her." Lust took delight in seeing Drake flinch at the image in front of him. He knew this wasn't the women he loved and yet after all these years here she was...not only just a dream.

Beast Boy could feel his animal instincts kicking in. "Drake thats not-" There was a force of energy that pushed Beast Boy away and slammed him into the wall. Beast Boy slid to the ground in pain, unable to help Drake now.

Drake moved backwards into the wall behind him as Lust boxed him in.

"Drake, you don't have to be alone anymore. We can finally be together, just like we've always wanted." Their bodies were now pressed against each other, her lips just about touching his. She brought her hands to his face and caressed his cheeks gently, not realizing her mistake.

Drake smiled at her as he placed his forehead on hers, tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry Elsa," Lust gasped when she felt the blade enter her stomach, "but I have to let you go." Drake wrapped his arm around Lust-Elsa's waist and lowered her to the floor, his blade still placed inside her body. Lust-Elsa took a few more shuddered breaths before the life left her eyes, then the vessel began to wither in his arms. Fresh tears began to fall freely from Drake's face as he watched the image of the women he loved wither into a heap of nothing. Strange, they didn't evaporate this time.

Drake didn't even notice Landon come back into the interrogation room.

Landon looked down at the dead women in Drake's arms, then to Beast Boy. "What'd I miss?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Beast Boy and Robin were sitting on the floor against the wall just outside Drake's room. Beast Boy was deep in thought while Robin held a ice pack to the back of his head. After Lust was killed Landon began to use his powers to search their souls to see if they were still tainted with Lusts influence. Bumble Bee and Zatanna were clear, and so was StarMouse obviously. He and Drake were now in his room checking over Kole. Landon reappeared from his room a few minutes later, without Drake.

"How's Kole?" Robin asked.

"She's clean." Landon answered simply.

"So our theory is probably true then." Robin thought.

"Well technically we wont know for sure until they wake up. Shall we check on miss Raven?"

"What about Drake?" Beast Boy asked.

"He is going to stay with darling Kole until she wakes up." Landon procedded towards the stairs with Robin and Beast Boy getting to their feet to follow.

"Who was that last women Lust turned into?" Beast Boy asked as they followed. "Drake called her, Elsa?"

Landon was quiet a moment as he ascended the stairs. "The story is not mine to tell, but from what I can tell you is that she was a queen from a long time ago who was gifted with incredible power over ice and snow. So you still have hope broccoli, opposites do attract."

Beast Boy glared at the back of Landon's head. "What happened to her?" Robin asked.

"As I said before," they exited the stairwell and entered the hall where Raven's room was located, "It's not my tale to tell." Landon looked down the hallway realizing he didn't know where the girls room was. Beast Boy and Robin walked in front of him and headed for the girls room. Once they got to her door, Beast Boy got a nervous look.

"Heh. Forgot that I had to crush this." he motioned at the broken door panel.

Landon got a funny look on his face looking at the door, like he was looking for something. "You locked her in there right?" he asked.

Beast Boy looked at him worridly. "Yeah?"

Landon got concerned then pushed the palm of his hand against the door. A blast of black energy blew the door off of the wall and he entered the girls room. Beast Boy and Robin were right behind him, remembering that no one was allowed in her room. Although looking into the room that threat left their minds.

It was empty.

"Raven?!" Robin yelled. The two boys started to search for her as Landon looked around trying to sense her presence.

"Is there any way out of this room besides the door?" he asked sternly.

"The tower was on lock down so even if she wanted to she couldn't get out. And she's powerless so she couldn't phase anywhere." Robin answered after searching under her bed.

Beast Boy was searching her drawers causing Landon to smirk. "I doubt she's hidding in her panty drawer."

"I'm looking for her meditation mirror?" Beast Boy bit back.

Both Robin and Landon looked confused. "Her what?"

Beast Boy pulled out an antique gothic looking mirror. "She uses this to meditate sometimes. It's supposed to be a portal to her mind."

Robin was still confused but Landon scrambled out of the way. "Put that thing away before you hurt yourself!" He shouted.

Beast Boy ignored him and looked at the mirror oddly.

It was blank.

He couldn't even see his own reflection, it looked like a black piece of paper was placed over the glass. After scratching at the glass to make sure nothing was on it he came to the conclusion that it wasn't working, but he handed it to Landon to check.

Landon turned it over in his hands handling it delicately. The last thing he wanted was to vacation in Raven's mind. Finally he responded, "I feel no magic coming off of this thing." and hurridly gave it back to Beast Boy.

At first the shapeshifter was worried but then he remembered Raven was powerless so it must have effected the mirror to her mind as well.

The group then heard a beeping noise coming from Robin's communicater. Thinking it was Cyborg, or Raven he grabbed it flipping it open. He wasn't expecting to see who was on the other side.

"Terra?" Beast Boy and Landon looked over his shoulder and sure enough the screen was filled with the blue eyed blonde.

"Dude you gave her a communicater?" Beast Boy asked to Robin. It sounded much harsher then he intended it to be in front of the former Titan, but he was to aggitated at the moment to care.

"It's a dummy comunicater that will only work for ten hours at a time. For emergencies." Robin turned to the girl on the screen. "Terra what's wrong?"

"Hey...um..." she started. She sounded like she was whispering and was looking around nervously. "Is Raven with you guys?"

The confusion level in the room was getting higher at the odd question. "Why?" Beast Boy asked. Again harsher then he intended.

Terra looked around to make sure she couldn't be heard where ever she was. "I...I think she might be in trouble."

Jump City. One hour ago.

After Terra had rested at the hotel she went about the city. Nothing to exciting happened to her that day, to be honest it was just another day as a normal girl. Window shopping, Fruit Smoothie, hit on by random obnoxious guys, the usual. She thought back to her time as a Titan. Sure she was working for a villain at the time, but there was never a dull moment.

The bus back towards her hotel was rather empty, she never took it often so she wasn't sure if this was unusual, but she didn't mind. The quiet gave her a chance to think and reflect. She leaned her head against the window of the bus, casually looking over at the other passenger. A gothic looking young man that reminded her of trips to Hot Topic, but she wasn't one to judge. Their eyes met and they exchanged a small smile and nod but that was the most of their enteraction. The bus slowed down at the next stop and let another passenger on. A rather skrawny looking young man with flat black hair and pale skin. He was dressed in a black hoodie with the hood drawn up, but once he got on the bus he pulled his hood down. She paid him no mind at least until the gothic kid announced his presence by calling his name.

"Adonis! It's been a while man."

The one called Adonis smiled at the gothic young man. "J.T. Good to see ya bud." The two greeted each other with a fist bump as Adnois took a seat across from J.T. and the bus pulled away. Terra kept her head leaned against the window. Huh? Adonis? That sounds familiar. She shrugged it off as the two boys talked.

"So what are you up to these days?" The one called J.T. asked. "I almost didn't recognize you without your 'super suit'."

Adnois scoffed. "Your one to talk. Besides I don't need that thing anymore."

J.T. tilted his head in confusion. "Really? I remember you were always trying to find the newest and baddest toys for that thing. So what you outgrew it, or something?"

Adnois had a wicked smile spread across his pale face. "Something like that." Terra couldn't help but hear the slight darkness creep it's way into the scrawny kids voice. It unnerved her and judging by the look on his companions face, he was unsettled by it as well. "You wanna know what I've been up too?" Adonis asked.

"Yeah sure." J.T. answered. He wasn't visibly shaken by this Adonis, but Terra could hear it in his voice. Besides Adnois seemed like the kind of guy to boast about his occomplishments. Whether J.T. wanted to hear them or not.

"Well I dumped the whole suit thing and adopted a new form of adrenaline rush. The other night I bagged me a girl from the High School. What's it called? Murry something?"

"Murakami?" J.T. guessed

"That's it!" Adnois let out a laugh which made Terra freeze. Her old high school.

"So wait you," J.T. leaned towards Adonis so the bus driver couldn't hear them, but Terra still could, "raped a High School kid?" Terra could hear the slight disgust in J.T.s voice, however Adnois either didn't hear it or didn't care.

"Yeah man. And she was one sweet piece of tail let me tell ya. Ashley Trevor was her name." Terra's heart stopped. She knew Ashley, well not personally, but she was a cheerleader and super popular so everyone knew who she was.

Adonis continued on boasting about his crime against the girl which made Terra sick to her stomach. He left out a few details of course but the one that caught her attention the most was how he dressed her up to look like one of the Titans.

"You did what?" J.T. asked still clearly disgusted but Adonis simply ignored it.

"You heard me." Adnois laughed.

J.T. sat there stunned for a moment. "Huh I didn't think that was your thing?"

"You know neither did I, but I met this guy and he...well helped me overcome some hurdles, so to speak."

"Oh yeah, who?"

"Ah you wouldn't believe me even if I told ya. But he helped gain the confidence I needed to take what I want." J.T. nodded noticing the bus was coming to a stop. As soon as it did though Adnois stood up. "Well man this is my stop."

"Alright bud. Hey one more question. Which Titan chick did you fantasize about?"

Adonis got a look in his eyes as if he was thinking about the last cheeseburger he ate. "That tasty witch. And if all goes well tonight...I'll get another taste." Adnois didn't say anymore as he got off the bus.

Terra subtely stood and got off the bus through the door that was closer to the back of the bus. Hitting the pavement she saw Adonis make his way down the street in the direction of a few warehouses and labs.

Her mind raced with thoughts of what she just overheard. It seemed like a something out of a movie, or a story told by a stranger. This sort of thing didn't happen to people you know, it just dosen't. And what he did to Ashely, it was just sick. Thinking back though Terra admitted the cheerleader did kind of look like Raven, that alone must have been enough to put her on this sick freaks radar. As she followed him, remembering her training in stealth, she wondered where he was headed and what his plan was. Either way he admitted to a crime now she could report him, either to the Titans or the cops it didn't really matter, she just wanted to make sure no one got harmed while she had him in her sights.

Finally Adonis stopped in front of an abandoned labratory turned warehouse. Terra moved into a nearby allyway, and got to one knee, making sure she wouldn't be in his eye level if he turned around, and peered around the corner. Adonis stood there, with his hands in his sweater pockets, looking around and pacing in small circles. He seemed to be waiting for someone. Terra took this chance to take out the communicater Robin had given her and type the code to contact him.

Adonis shuffled his feet as he waited. To be honest he was impatient as hell, but the "lessons" he learned while the demon Marik was in his head, taught him to wait. He was promised his prize and he was going to deliver, that much was sure.

Suddenly the temperature dropped, causing Adonis to pulled the draw strings on his hoodie to keep him warm.

"Ah slightly early I see." Adnois was met with the demon Marik. He was dressed the same as he met him before, with the leather biker pants, boots, and a brown leather jacket. His dirty blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, his dead eyes looking over the scrawny kid.

"What can I say," Adonis responded, "I'm as exicted as a school girl." Adonis let the corner of his lip curl upwards in a dark smirk.

"Wait this is the idiot whose gonna get our sister over the line." Adonis searched for the source of the voice which sounded like a child. His eyes fell on a kid at Mariks side. He looked like he was about eight years old, dressed in a red sweater with a comb over of brown hair...and he was missing his right arm. Adonis jumped at the sight of the armless kid but what scared him was the dark stare the kid was giving him.

"Don't underestimate him, Greed." Marik said addressing the kid. "I've been inside him mind and I've seen the depravity in there. It is just want we need."

"He is correct." Adonis turned to the third member of this group. The sight of the third man was equally, if not more disturbing. He was a bald man dressed in a white tank top, and was thin. Extremely thin. In fact if this man hadn't spoken, Adonis could have sworn that this was nothing more then a halloween decoration. "I can feel the hunger coming from inside him."

Marik turned to Adonis. "How silly of me. Adonis this is Greed," he gestured to the boy, "and this is Gluttony." He gestured to the bone thin man.

Adonis raised a brow. "Like the Seven Sins?" He looked over to Gluttony. "Shouldn't you be super fat or something?"

Gluttony chuckled. "A common missconception. With humans It's all about fast food, fast women, fast cars, eat, sex, and toys, but it's never enough. No matter how much they shove down their gullets, figuratively and literally, they are always starving, and as such, so am I."

Adnois couldn't help the hairs that stood up at the sound of this creature in front of him but his curiousity turned him to the boy. "And why is Greed a kid?"

Greed narrowed his eyes, not happy about his choice in vessels. "This boys parents let their greed consume them. He was surprised when he saw them before he saw his housekeepers. They were so consumed with material possessions they were willing to give up their sons right arm for the chance at wealth and prestiage."

Adonis shuddered. Marik stood between them and gestured to each of them. "These gentleman are counting on you, Adonis. Tonight is the night."

Adonis forgot about the two beings and smiled thinking of his assignment for that evening.

"Why don't we get this show on the road? Why do we need all those military guys surrounding the lab?" Greed whined again.

Marik looked down at him. "I have been studying these Titans for some time now, Carnus even longer, and the one thing he told me is to never underestimate them. For our little venture tonight I had my best possessers take charge of some of the finest military personal in southern California. They will be standing gaurd while Adonis here has his way with your sister." Marik paused a moment. "And don't worry about the little blonde who is watching us from above."

All four of them looked upwards to the roof above them. Sure enough a young lady with blonde hair and blue eyes had been spying on them.

"Did you get all the information you needed?" Marik asked her.

Terra froze when she saw all their eyes on her. She knew she had nowhere to go, but she still turned around and ran towards the ladder she had climbed to get a better look and listen to their conversation. She turned around only to run into a hulking man dressed in military grade camoflauge uniform complete with cap, combat boots, and side arm. The only thing off about him was his pitch black eyes.

Terra struggled against the soldiers grip as he took her to the other four. He had her hands pinned behind her back and was only holding them together with one hand while he carried her communicater with the other. His grip was incredible on the former Titans wrists, no matter how much she fought they would not loosen.

Marik approached Terra looking her over. "Looks like we have a spy." He grabbed her chin in his hand forcing her to look at him. "A rather attractive spy." She growled at him and wrenched her face out of his hand.

Adnois looked her over. "Hey I know her, she was on the bus with me earlier."

Marik ignored him seeing as how this information didn't help. He looked at the possessed soldier who handed the communicater. He took the yellow device curiously but noticed the T on the front.

"Ah, a Teen Titan I see." He pointed his finger at her. "You and your friends have been a thorn in my side for some time."

Terra glared at him, her hair over her face from her thrashing. "That's how we do."

The biker nodded. "Question. Are there any more of your teammates hiding in the wings?" Terra simply glared, not saying a thing. The biker sighed in frustration dropping the communicater and stomping on it under his boot. "I could easily slip into your mind and find out, but I have a schedule to keep. So are any of your team mates around?" Once again she was quiet. He sighed again then turned to the skeletal man. "Do me a favor and get rid of her please."

The thin man nodded then looked into Terra's eyes. Marik reached into his coat and pulled out a small container of bleach and handed it to Gluttany.

Terra couldn't look away from the thin man's eyes and she suddenly found herself very hungry. Very, very, very hungry, as if she hadn't eaten in days. She felt her stomach get tight with hunger so much so that she curled over in discomfort. She looked up at Gluttony and then the container of bleach in his hand. She knew she shouldn't drink it, but she was just so...hungry. Gluttony approached her with the bleach in an attempt to give it to her.

Suddenly the solider behind her released his grip and with a scream jerked his head backwards. A thick cloud of black smoke errupted from his mouth and was flowing towards a man that stood behind them. He held a small cylinder like object in his hand that the black demon cloud was flowing into and once finished the man pocketed the cylinder then with a flick of his wrist both he and Terra vanished.

Not before sending a wink to Marik.

Adonis looked over the area in confusion. "Marik what the hell was that?!"

Marik narrowed his eyes in anger then turned to those with him. "You two make yourselves scarce, and you," he turned to Adonis, "get ready to earn your keep." The two Sins vanished while Adonis got a wicked grin on his face.
