Welp, like two of you gave your opinions so I have decided to agree with you and keep this story OC X Jinx, though I may still throw in some very minor Raven X OC moments but nothing serious. Anyway, to this chapter! Now that I'm done for the most part of shaping Grim's character I've decided that it was time to get on with the actual plot, therefore I'm going to place this chapter in the episode Nevermore. So! Get along and get reading!
We come to Jump City at night as the Titans are fighting Doctor Light. He was laughing as he was blasting away the Titans until Grim slammed down from above and cracked the ground.
"Hello Doctor." He said in a deep running voice as he made a move to grab the villain. Doctor Light ducked and pressed his hands directly onto Grim's eyes and full power blasted him in the eyes causing an explosion that sent them both flying back as Grim roared in pain.
As Grim stumbled around unable to see the Titans continued to fight Doctor Light until he hurt Raven and she lost control of her powers and attacked him ruthlessly. Grim regained his sight and saw her attacking him with her demonic expression.
Grim ran and stood before Doctor Light and Raven as was continuing to act terrifying and using fear as a weapon.
"Raven! Stop!" Yelled Grim but she ignored him and knocked him to the side.
"That's it! Sorry Raven!" He yelled grabbing her shoulders and turning her towards him as his eyes glowed bright red and his face contorted into a rage filled expression. He let out a monstrous scream that instantly scared Raven back to her senses.
"What...? I'm sorry, I need to go." She said and she disappeared and left the Titans to wonder what had happened. Doctor light began to get up and Grim snarled at him and the poor man collapsed.
Later Beastboy walked to Ravens room and was about knock on the door but hesitated before Cyborg and Grim came up behind him.
"You gonna knock or not?" Asked Grim as he reached to knock on the door... And it fell into the room.
"Uh... Oops? I didn't think I used that much strength." He said as they walked in.
They found the room empty and Beastboy began to explore the room and neared a mirror on a stand.
"Beast, I know the novelty of exploring your crush's room but you really should leave Raven's stuff alone." Said Grim.
"What? I can't hurt to just look?" Said Beastboy as he reached for the mirror.
Grim closed his hand around Beastboy's wrist and shook his head.
"You realize that Raven uses magic? The most unpredictable and dangerous force in the known universe? The same thing that could release demons and other nasties? Don't. Touch. Anything." Said Grim pulling Beastboy back from the mirror and he began to move him and Cyborg out of Raven's room until he slipped on an old robe that was on the floor and he landed hard on his back, shaking the room and causing the mirror to fall from the stand and slam into his forehead.
He began to roar loud enough for the entire tower to hear as the mirror began to glow and the room flashed and Grim was gone.
"Uh, Grim?" Asked Beastboy. Starfire, Raven, and Robin all rushed to the room to find the two trouble makers.
"What happened? Why did Grim yell so loudly?" Asked Robin.
"And why are you in my room!?" Growled Raven.
"We wanted to see what was wrong with you, then Grim tried to make us leave, then he fell and disappeared!" Beastboy Rambled as Raven picked up the mirror.
"He's fine... For now." She said and pushed everyone out and fixed the door with her magic. She sat on her bed and began to meditate with the mirror in her hand.
In another realm Grim was also sitting cross legged with his hands pressed against each other. He took a long deep breath and breathed out a small spurt of fire that quickly died out.
"Let's see... I was in the room of someone with magic, an unknown artifact fell onto me, and now I'm in a strange place with no friends, no contact, and no people." He said and opened his eyes.
His area had red sky and had large spiked protrusions of black rock that stretched hit into the sky like daunting pillars. There was a single path of cracked red rock that ran from where he sat, anywhere off the path was a drop off into red nothing or just more giant spikes.
"I hate magic." He groaned as he stood up and began to walk. He continued to walk for what seemed like hours until a shadow moved behind a rock formation that was on the path and he growled and got ready to fight.
"Get out and fight! Magic demon or whatever you are." He said and a bubbling laughter rose up from behind a rock and from behind it stepped a creature that made Grim's jaw drop.
The creature was Grim, in every way and shape down to the spikes on his head... Except he was a bright pink. He was laughing heartily and clapping his knee at Grim's expression.
"Haha... Oh man, the expression on your face!" Laughed Pink Grim.
"Oh hell no! I'm not about to be adventuring with no weird pink imitation!" Said Grim.
"Im no imitation, I'm you! Well your joy." The man said between shots and laughs.
"Uh... Alright I guess. Care to point me to the way out?" Asked Grim.
"That way, say hi to Sadness for me!" Joy snorted before leaping down into the red abyss.
"Alright, that guy needs to take a break. Or do I need to take a break? God damn it magic!" He yelled as he continued down the path.
Eventually he heard fighting and he ran forwards down the path to see a stance sight greet him. A green version of him was fighting statues that were shaped like him but with multiple arms and swords.
"What the...?" Grim said as the green one gave a hell of challenge and grabbed one statue and slammed it into another. He stood happily on the rubble with his fist in the air and laughing a brave and hearty laugh.
"Alright, starting to see a pattern here." Said Grim as he got closer to the other persona.
"Aha! Myself! How dost thou fare?" The green one said with a strange dialect.
"Oh great, I found Stupidity." Groaned Grim as the Green one heartily walked towards him.
"I am Courage! Surely you know of I? You use me most often in battle!" He said clapping Grim on the shoulder.
"Sure, kinda comes with your job." Said Grim brushing him off.
"Wait! We must preform a test of strength before you go!" He said and Grim turned to see a fist heading towards him.
He ducked and snarled, coming up with a fist to slam into Courage's face, to send him flying onto his back.
"That enough of a test scrub?" Growled Grim as he continued down the path.
Grim found himself at the beginning of a maze and he heard sobbing. He turned to see a grey version of himself that was crying to himself.
"Oh, well now that's just depressing." Sighed Grim as he approached the sad sight.
"Oi, Joy says hello." Grim said and Sadness shot up and turned quickly.
"I'm sorry! Don't hit me!" He said while covering his face.
"Alright, c'mon guy, I'm literally you. I'm not going to hurt you." Said Grim and Sadness slowly looked up and nodded.
"Can you show me through this maze?" Asked Grim.
"Y-yeah, but you won't be happy at the end." Said Sadness.
"Who is ever truly happy in this economy? Just look at these spikes! Disastrous!" Said Grim and the two walked into the Maze with Sadness leading.
"Let's see, emotions... Place that has spikes like me? Red sky and abyss like my eyes... God damn it I'm in my mind." Said Grim.
"Sorry." Said Sadness.
"I suppose Raven will find a way to get me out." Said Grim.
Eventually they reached the end of the maze and a large arched doorway stood in front of them. Inside of the round doorway a purple energy began to swirl and Raven appeared.
"Ah, my ride is here. See ya weird emotion land." Said Grim and he took a step towards the exit.
A rumbling shook the ground and a red fist broke through the ground. A flaming red Grim dragged himself from the ground and stood with blazing eyes and teeth gashed in a cruel expression of pure rage.
"Let me guess... Anger? Rage? Annoyingly obvious?" Grim sighed as Rage rushed at him. It was then that Grim realized something was off... This Grim was at least twice his size.
A red hand enveloped his head and lifted him into the air. He punched at Rage but his fist did nothing and the emotion grew larger.
"Grim! He's feeding off your anger!" Raven called up to him.
"Great, what now!?" He yelled from the hand of the giant him.
"You need to calm down, use your other emotions to fight him!" Raven said, blasting Rage's hand with a dark blast.
Grim was dropped and rolled on the ground to come to his feet. He began to take a good long look at Rage as he tried without success to grab Raven, who was flying around his head.
"So that's what I look like during those times I black out... Pretty cool actually. But what does she mean use my emotions?" Grim asked and felt a tap on his shoulder.
He turned to see a crowd of multicolored Grims standing and waving at him. Grim sighed and waved back and every one of their eyes began to glow.
Soon they were turned into energy and began to flow forwards and entered Grim and he felt his body burn like it had two years prior, when he first became the Goliath. He began to grow and his skin began to change to a pristine white.
He now stood at the same height as Rage and walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. Rage roared and turned, to receive a white fist in the face.
"You need to take a chill pill brother. Smooth out all that rage." Said Grim picking up the delirious Rage.
"Here, let's hug it out." Grim said, pulling the personification of rage into a crushing hug until rage began to glow and molded into Grim and he returned to normal.
"Great, now I'm aware of them in my head. I wonder if that's what's giving me this headache." He said, walking to Raven.
"Are you okay? Most people don't have an easy time when venturing into their head for the first time." Said Raven.
"Peachy! But I have to ask about you... I ended up here because I was going to ask if you were okay after that whole freak show with Doctor Light." Said Grim.
"I... I'm fine." She said.
"Raven, I may not know you as well as the others with how I keep to myself... But even I can tell you are having trouble." Grim said, lowering her hood and looking into her eyes with his.
"Let me help you, as a friend and teammate." He said and she let out a sigh.
"I don't think you can help with this. It's not a problem that can be solved by hitting it." Said Raven.
"Raven, listen to me, I want to help. I know I haven't really been a part of the team this whole time but I'm trying hard now. So let me help, even if it's just listening to your problems." He said and Raven finally smiled.
"Okay, but let's get out of your head first." She said and with a flash they both appeared in her room.
"Oh sweet reality! There you are!" Grim said happily.
He turned to Raven and sat on her bed carefully, with it only straining slightly under his immense weight.
"Now, let's talk about you, miss Raven." He said and they two began a night of talk that would last into the morning.
END
I wanted to write a chapter about this episode but I didn't really want to just rewrite the episode with Grim there so I decided to go into his head instead. And I realized that Grim hasn't really been a part of the team so I'm planning on having him join them a little more in the future... So... See you guys next time!
