Hello Ladies and marry men! Wow that chapter was an ordeal to get through. I had to rewrite it about three times before I got it to a point that I was happy with it. It had nothing to do with the fact that my wife and I binged "Attack on Titan" and are now obsessed...at all...(cough.)

A new feature I'm adding to this story is footnotes. Whenever I make a reference to one of my previous stories in one of my fics I will leave a footnote telling you which story and which chapter the reference is too. This will help incase you have forgotten something from the past, and also help those who are reading these stories for the first time. I hope that helps.

Big thank you as usual to those who favorite, follow, review, and send good thoughts. Please feel free to review and let me know what you think.

Last time the boys had a sit down with Lust, of the Seven Deadly Sins, only to find out that she was masquerading as their friend Jinx. Cyborg takes off and finds her half dead by the Titans north tower. Meanwhile the others take down Lust and while checking on the other Titan ladies discover Raven has gone missing. Terra contacts them and lets them know she's hot on the trail and the bad guys have something rather vile in store for the demoness.

On with the show.

Chapter 11: Girl Power

Landon and Terra appeared in an alleyway that was a considerable distance from the abandoned Lab. Once Landon was sure they weren't being followed by the demon or the two embodiments of sin, he reached for a Titans communicator that Robin had given him. Listening to the conversation over Terra's communicator as she was perched on a nearby roof, they knew they had to act quickly, especially when Marik noticed their unwelcomed guest. Landon made the point that he was much faster teleporting by himself so he shot off alone for the girl leaving the other two to travel by themselves.

Landon looked at the contraption oddly before flipping it open. "Robin?" Clearly he was unsure how to use the device.

"This is Robin, report." The screen showed Landon a picture of the Titan leader wearing his red helmet riding on his R-Cycle while Beast Boy was flying above him in the form of a Hawk.

Landon rolled his eyes. "Don't ever say that to me again I'm not a member of your boy band. I got your friend."

"How is she?" Robin asked.

Landon looked down at the girl and instantly she began to grasp at his suit like a begger off the streets. Landon could see a speck of darkness swimming in her blue eyes. They were filled with desperation and pleading. "Please...I'm so...hungry." she begged. "I need to eat something."

Landon turned to the communicater. "Please hold." Landon knelt down in front of the begging girl and he cupped her cheek with his hand. Slowly an orange energy began to flow from her eyes and began to crawl up Landon's hand, up his arm and settle inside his own dark eyes. After a moment the darkness inside of the girl was gone and had taken place inside of Landon. Terra saw Landon jerk his hand away as if he was bitten by a snake and flew away crashing into the opposite end of the allyway. Terra had never met him before so naturally she was frightened, even if he did stop the ravenous hunger she was feeling.

"What did you do to me?" she asked.

Landon began blinking rapidly like a bug had flown into his eyes, Terra could see them flashing from red, to orange, to normal and over again. "Hey are you okay?"

Landon fell to his hands and knees and began dry heaving. His face twisting in pain. "Landon come in!" Robin shouted over the communicater. "What's going on?"

Landon grunted as the agony coursed through his body. "I...don't...know...ARGGHHHHH...you kids are on your own..." Landon dropped the communicater and vanished in black mist.

Terra blinked a few times, trying to figure out what had just happened, until she heard the voice of the Titan leader over the communicater that Landon had dropped.

"Landon! Terra! Come in! Someone!"

Terra scrambled for the device. "Robin! I'm here!"

"Terra? Where's Landon?" he asked.

Terra assumed Landon was the guy who just saved her life. "He did something to me, and then looked like he was in pain, then just vanished."

Robin sighed in exasperation. "Terra just stay put. Beast Boy and I are on our way."

"But Robin-"

"Not buts, stay there! Robin out." The transmission ended. Terra sat there on her knees, not caring that her blue jeans were getting grimy from the ground. She was alone and vulnerable, two not very good things especially with demons about, but that was nothing compared to what Raven might be enduring. The very idea made her stomach churn but also helped make her desicion.

Terra left the safety of the allyway and began running at full speed towards the Laboratory. If there was anything she could do to help earn their trust it was to save Raven's life. Besides no one deserves to be treated in such a manner. As the building came into view she got a wicked grin on her face, with her eyes glowing a golden yellow.

However she didn't see the shooter on the rooftop take aim at the center of her forehead and pull the trigger.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Marik led Adonis through the chilly interior of the abandoned lab. Looking over the dark building, Adonis couldn't help but feel nostalgic. He thought back to the night he attacked this place wearing the battle suit he made for himself. Originally he began taking this place apart because the father of a girl who had rejected him was working on something "big" here. He didn't know or care what that was he was just wanted to cause mayham as punishment for her rejection.

Little did he know he would meet her for the first time. She was everything he wanted. Hot body, feisty temper, he knew then and there he had to have her, and if he couldn't know one would. Of course that was his plan for when he became the beast, and if that little green pissant hadn't gotten in the way he may have succeeded. He hated that green annoyance more then anything, especially since the green headache got to keep his inner beast form and he didn't.

Marik filled him in on what was actually in the chemicals all those years ago.(1) Adonis wondered why it didn't have the same effect on him as it did on Beast Boy. Marik explained that due to the changeling's unstable DNA it made a perfect home for the demon blood to integrate itself into his body.(2) Even with the cure presented to him by the machine man, it was only a temporary fix. The hellhound inside the shapeshifter was there to stay. Adonis however was just a human so the cure worked perfectly on him without complications.

Adonis scowled. Isn't that just how the world works? Us little guys always scraping by. Oh well. After tonight everyone will not only know my name, but fear and respect it. A dark grin came to his face as he fantatsized one more time about the moment that would soon be a reality.

Marik led them to the office portion of the building only to be met by another hulking soldier in camo standing guard in front of the door. Upon seeing them he stepped foreward and spoke.

"Master. We seem to have a situation with the girl."

Marik turned his gaze upwards, as the man was much taller then himself, and met his black eyes. "What do you mean?" Marik wasn't in the mood for complications at the moment which was evident in his tone of voice and the frustration in his dark eyes.

The demon soldier gulped. "It was our understanding that certain conditions be met for this evening. We have already dressed the demoness in her usual uniform that we comendered from her room along with other preperations. However she is not yet awake."

Marik gave the demon a look asking if he was being serious. "Is that it? How is that a problem?"

"Hey I ain't doin' her in her sleep." said Adonis. "Why not just do a pillow?"

Marik rolled his eyes and shoved past the soldier. Inside the office were two more soldiers standing guard over a sleeping Raven. The girl was laying on a filthy mattress and per instructed was wearing her Titan uniform of a black leotard and her blue cloak, complete with her blue boots, belt and hand orniments. Just as the demon on the outside had said, she was out cold.

Marik approached the girl and reached out his hand. Hovering his hand over her sleeping form, he could feel she was no longer under the influence of Lust, but she still had some of that power lingering inside of her keeping her unconscious.

"Well we're going to have to call it off." Adonis said looking over the unconscious girl. "I ain't doing this while she's asleep."

Marik pinched the bridge of his nose. They didn't have time for this, but Adonis was right. If they were to cause her to embrace her demonic heritage the circumstances had to be perfect. Marik waved his hand over Raven's face. Using his powers, he searched her mind for the leftover energy, and once he found it he began to draw it out into his own body. A light blue energy began to flow from Raven's closed eyes into Marik's hand then crawled up his arm into his own eyes. The whole thing lasted about half a minute but finally the light left the soceresses eyes completely and had found it's way into Marik.

Marik grabbed his arm in pain. His eyes flashing from normal, to blue, then to black then the loop would repeat. The other demons and Adonis looked in confusion and concern as their leader began to shake violently. He grabbed at his stomach and fell to his knees curled over as the strain spread through his body. With black eyes he looked to the soldiers in the room.

"Get...me...outta here!" he growled, the agony continuing to course through his body. The two possessed soldiers nodded then helped Marik out of the office. Adonis stayed behind watching them take the demon away. Marik stopped by the soldier outside the door and leaning towards his face he whispered. "Once it's done, you know what to do." The soldier nodded then took his position in front of the door when it closed, leaving Adonis alone with the his prize.

Terra didn't have time to react when she heard the shot go off. However lady luck was smiling on her this night when a figure dressed head to toe in black pushed her out of the way just as the bullet sailed past them hitting the pavement below. Terra didn't have time to register what had just happened but her instincts kicked in and with her glowing golden eyes, errected a barriar of solid rock around them.

Her savior panted from the adreniline. "Well that was fun." She said. Wait she? Terra saw that the girl that saved her was a young girl, maybe just a little older then herself. She wore a skin tight leather outfit that showed off her full set of curves from her chest to her hips. She wore black gloves and boots complete with a black mask that covered the top part of her head over her nose, her platinum blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. Terra could just barely make out a pair of blue eyes on the other side of her mask.

"Do me a favor," she said in a scolding tone, "don't do that again. I counted two shooters on the roof."

Terra remembered that soldiers possessed by demons were standing guard. "Shooters? Those guys are military."

The girl laughed. "No shit. They were using M40 Sniper rifles. They're not messing around." They heard more gunshots being fired and hit their makeshift sanctuary. Fortunately the rock walls were strong enough to withstand the shots, at least for now. The girl reached into a pouch by her belt and pulled out a small mirror. Using it to peer around the corner she could see the two shooters on the rooftop...and four more soldiers exiting the building and headed right for them.

"Shit." she said under her breath.

"What? What is it?" Terra asked.

The girl pocketed the mirror. "Two on the roof, and four coming right at us."

Terra gulped. "That's bad right?"

The girl just rolled her eyes. "I can take out the four down here but it wont do much good with those two on the roof."

"I can handle the two on the roof." Terra said confidently.

The girl sort of laughed. "You sure? Those are marine's you know."

Terra hesitated but kept her tough girl face on. "I'm sure."

The girl looked her over trying to decided if her confidence was false or if she really believed it. Finally she smirked. "Alright then. Names Rose by the way."

Terra smiled. "Terra."

"Alright Terra. Cover me. On my signal." Rose pulled out a bow staff and extended it. "Now!"

Terra pushed her hands against the rock wall in front of her shooting small pieces of rock towards the shooters on the roof. She wasn't sure if it worked or not but Rose jumped from their hideout and ran after the four soldiers coming at them. Terra placed her hands on top of the rock wall in front of her then with glowing yellow eyes used the rock to fly up towards to two shooters on the roof. She glanced over to the right to see Rose taking out the four soldiers one by one.

"Whoa."

She landed on the roof of the lab with both shooters nursing wounds from the rock attack. Seeing her land in front of them they forgot their injuries and focused their attention on her. They drew their side arms and opened fire. Terra used the rock she flew in on to block the shoots, but the rock was starting to fall apart so she needed a new tactic.

Fortuneately she had help.

Rose had hopped onto the roof and began taking down the shooters. Shockingly she took them both down. Terra let the rock fall to the ground to face her new friend.

"How did-"

Rose showed Terra the bowstaff. "Iron bowstaff coated in salt and holy water." Rose reached into her belt and pulled out a couple of zipties.

"Wait are zipties gonna work on a demon-thingy-person?" Terra asked.

Rose took one of them and tossed it to her. Terra looked it over noticing small symbols all over the tie. "Those symbols will keep these guys out cold and keep the demons from leaving the vessels and powerless."

Terra turned the tie over only muttering a "wow". Once Rose was finished tying the two soldiers she headed for the door that led into the lab.

"Whoa whoa, theres a ton of possessed guys down there." Terra followed behind.

Rose just smirked. "I know, and if I'm right. That is being taken care of right now."

Both of the girls walked down the stairs till they had gotten to the ground floor of the lab. Terra was shocked to see a single women fighting off the horde of possessed marines. She was using pink energy disks with the star of david in the center that she was using as weapons. She was dressed in a skintight black unitard with her red hair tied back. The women elegantly flipped through the air dodging different attacks while throwing her disks at her attackers that would bounce off of one another like a pinball in a pinball machine. The women took a small break from fighting then took a chance to face the two girls that joined her.

"Well hello." she said with a smile.

Terra recognized the blood red hair, the red lips, pale skin, and the piercing green eyes.

"Mom?"

Rose turned to her with a odd expression. "Mom?"

"Yeah she was my-"

Malundra interrupted. "Sorry but we have things to do." Malundra began fighting off the demon soldiers again. "Rose ziptie the down demons, Terra look for Raven." She ordered. The two girls nodded and went their seperate ways. Terra kept herself against the wall while the other two fought back the possessed soldiers, careful as to not injure them to much. Terra glanced around looking for any sign of the demoness or where she could be being held, but instead saw a few soldiers lose interest in the fighting women and break away from the pack to charge at her with side arms drawn.

Terra's eyes glowed yellow again summoning more slabs of rock to protect herself from the barrage of bullets. Unfortunately doing so cornered her against the wall leaving her at the mercy of the two men that had opened fire.

"Okay not the best idea." she grumbled, blinking as something fell on top of her head and slid down her face. The odd wet sensation caused to look towards the ceiling. The sprinkler system somehow sprang to life and began drenching the occupants of the lab, Terra found herself unharmed but the same couldn't be said for the soldiers. Each one of them began screaming at the top of their lungs once the water touched the bodies. It didn't matter if they were covered with their military uniforms for as soon as the liquid touched them they were being burned as if someone had dumped sulfuric acid on top of them.

Terra dropped the rock barriers to see what her ears were telling her. The soldiers were writhing and screaming with the water cascading over them with thin whisps of steam emminating from the demons. Terra looked over to Malundra and Rose who were also staring quizzically at the falling water.

"Good job guys." Terra said, her wet golden hair falling over face.

The two women looked at each other, then at her. "We didn't do-" Malundra started to say. Suddenly another scream from one of the soldiers got their attention. This yell was different though, instead of pain it was a deep demonic yell that was coming from the creature inside the soldier. They all turned their attention to the oddity. The demon inside the solider screamed again before a pure white light burst from It's eyes and mouth, then fell to his knees. It's mouth fell open gawking at the ceiling then from the its chest a light began to crawl up It's body, up the throat, and out of the mouth.

The girls found themselves captivated by the stream of light that began to flow from the soldier and soar upward through the roof and fly into the heavens. As soon the light left the man he fell over to the ground unconscious. As if the universe needed to shock the three women further another light appeared from the down soldier and leapt from his chest and into the chest of another possessed soldier. What was odd about the light is that it had a humanoid-like shape.

The water continued to fall from the sprinkler system while the odd human shaped light jumped from soldier to soldier exorcising the demon inside them, changing them to a bright white light and sending them into the sky.

The three women joined up again watching the spectical with interest. Malundra, being around magic her whole life, had never seen anything like this before. "As amazing as this is," Malundra stated pulling herself away from the scene before them, "we should go find Raven." The energy disks she held dissipated and the group headed off towards a nearby staircase to begin their search.

From one of the dark corners of the Lab a figure dressed in a pure white unitard, with a light blue piece covering his shoulders, neck and pants, and golden zig-zag patterns looked curiously over the events unfolding. He moved a stray strand of shoulder length black hair out of his vision, his pure onyx eyes watching protectively over the group of three women. However his gaze fell on the blonde.

Wow, he thought to himself, who is she?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Raven groaned waking up to a splitting headache. She was used to waking up feeling as if someone took a jackhammer to her skull so everything seemed status quo for the moment. She did however have a very odd dream, she dreamed that she tried to seduce Beast Boy while wearing the green corset she purchased earlier that day.

Ha Ha, me seducing Beast Boy? Yeah right...wait...it was a dream right?

She suddenly felt someone staring at her, and it was an unnerving feeling. She felt like someone was looking at her as if she was nothing more then a chicken dinner ready to be devoured. She opened her eyes, ignoring the pain that hit her head from the light and found who was staring at her.

"Morning babe. Sleep well?" Raven was horrified to see Adonis staring down at her. He was leaning against the wall with his pathetic arms crossed over his tiny chest. She sat up and began to scoot away from him while taking in her surroundings. She wasn't scared of him at all, but was more afraid of why the hell she was in some random place with Adonis staring at her like she was a piece of meat. Well that part was per the usual, but everything else was freaking her out.

Seeing her fear and confusion, her unwelcomed admirer continued to smile smuggly at her. "Why don't I give you a few seconds sweetness." At first she didn't recognize the scrawny flat haired kid. The only other time she had seen him like this was when they ripped him out of his suit, but by then she had lost interest, however she recognized that stupid grin on his smug face anywhere. She took a few calming breaths, looking around the room she was trapped in, and she didn't like what she was seeing, least of all the mattress she found herself laying on. Looking up she could see a perfectly drawn devils trap etched into the ceiling. With this she was able to deduce that Adonis had to be working with someone with demonic knowledge, he wasn't smart enough to figure the out the trap on his own.

However she got an idea. Seeing as how they had a devils trap drawn, he and whoever he was with clearly thought she had her powers. An assumption she could use to her advantage.

"Feeling better?" Adonis said seeing her calm down a bit.

Raven simply smirked looking up at the trap. "You think that is supposed to stop me?"

Adonis tensed slightly enough for Raven to notice. "They told me you-"

"Well they lied to you." Raven stood up getting off the mattress and brushed herself off, making the observation that she was in her usual uniform. She made a mental note to have his ass kicked for this when she got help. "Those things don't work on me. So you have two choices." She crossed her arms mustering all the confidence she had. "Let me go willingly, or I let myself out and take your head with me."

Adonis stared her down trying to read if she was lying or not. He would have a hell of a time trying to figure that out though, she was after all a master in the art of unreadable expressions after all. He watched her body language, relying on what he learned from the demon Marik. He couldn't get a read on her blank expression, or her stiff body language, so he had no way of knowing if she was bluffing or if he was in danger. Thinking back to his usual encounters with her, he noticed bluffing wasn't her style, it was immediate punishment. With this observation in mind he smirked deciding to call her bluff.

"Yeah right. Your powerless in this trap." he pointed to the sygel above them. "If thats not the case just go ahead and use your power on me, and I'll call it my bad."

Raven glared at him, her heart racing. He may have thought she was powerless because of the trap, but it didn't matter. There wasn't a thing she could do to stop him. Her fighting skills were rudementry at best, but she had basic self defense lessons if he decided to attack her. Glancing back to the mattress she had a good idea what he was planning. The very idea caused her to choke on her own bile.

Seeing her inner dilemma Adonis made the decision for her. He closed the gap between them with amazing speed, grabbed her by her arms and pinned her against the wall. She hit the wall with a grunt, her head bouncing slightly. He stared into her violet eyes with his dull brown ones taking pleasure in the flicker of fear in her eyes.

"Go ahead," he breathed into her face, making her even sicker to her stomach, "use your power to stop me." Her only response was to wimper in pain from the tight grip he had on her arms. She struggled but surprisingly found it difficult and only caused her more pain on her arms.

"So what now?" she growled doing her best to ignore the discomfort.

Adonis grinned. "Now we have some fun." Raven's heart stopped in terror, but there as more to that. Something was off about him. The original Adonis was all bark and no bite, but this guy in front of her...he scared her.

Raven didn't know much self defense, but she knew the one move that didn't need to be taught, since it was ingrained in all women as soon as they were born. With all the force she could muster she threw her knee into his manhood, if you could call it that, causing him to drop to his knees in pain. She took her chance, ignoring the pain coursing through her bruising arms, and headed for the door. Ripping it open she saw an enormous man in camo standing there blocking her escape. She tried to push by him only to be grabbed by her hair and pulled back into the office room by Adonis.

He was still grasping at his groin, but the look of rage in his eyes overshadowed his pain. He slammed the door shut then pounced on top of her slamming her into the ground. He hovered over her instead of taking a seated position then grabbed her by her wrists and pinning them above her head.

"It's funny. When we first met I never would have had the guts to do this. It wasn't until I was possessed that I was taught to take what I want." He leaned foreward taking a long whiff of her violet blue hair. She smelled like jasmine and vanilla which only aroused him further. "And what I want is you." With his free hand began to touch her body starting at her stomach and moving down to her bare thighs. She struggled against his grip which only managed to hurt her more. She let out a small cry as his violating hands began to trace her body against her will. She didn't care that she was screaming or letting tears fall from her eyes, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Of all the things to happen to her this was by far the worse.

Adonis let a sick smile spread across his face as he continued to explore her smooth firm legs. "You should be flattered. After all who would want a half-demon freak like you?" He started to feel his hands up her torso towards her chest.

"Adonis wait!" she screamed, causing him to stop. She looked up at him with pleading amethyst eyes that glittered from her tears. Her only chance to get away from her fate was to try to get through to his humanity. "You may be a lot of things, but this isn't you."

Adnois grabbed her face with his free hand causing her to let out a yelp. He forced her head back onto the ground, staring her down with hunger filled eyes. "Don't you dare tell me what I am. I know who and what I am, I'm someone who takes what he wants!" He reached his arm up making a move to slap her only to be interrupted by the sprinklers turning on above them.

Adonis looked up at the water then both of the rooms occupants jumped when they heard the guard at the door let out a blood curdling scream. Adonis glanced back at the door puzzled, but his momentary lapse in attention to the girl underneath him gave her the chance to fight back. Once again she threw her leg into his groin and rolled him off of her. Not bothering to make sure her oppenent was completely down she ran for the door throwing it open. Sure enough the guard was on the ground smoking from the water that was continuing to drench him.

Raven searched frantically for a way out and on the other side of the lab, found a door. She didn't know or care where it went or if it was locked, she bolted, as fast as her sore legs could propel her, for the door. Once she opened the door, she felt her cloak tug against her throat dragging her back into the building. She didn't have to turn around to see that Adonis had a frim grip on her cloak and was pulling with all of his might, choking the poor demoness. She undid the clasp tearing the cloak off and stumbled through the open door. To her surprise she saw that she had landed on the roof of the abandoned Lab.

Taking in her new surroundings she saw two men unconscious on the other side of the rooftop. She recognized them as soldiers and deduced that they had to have some kind of weapon on them. Hearing the door open behind her, she sprinted towards them keeping an eye out for any weapon they might have had. She skidded to a stop by one of them and fell to her knees, she ignored the cuffs with the demon sygels, and searched for a weapon of some kind.

She felt the strong disgusting hands of Adonis wrap around her stomach and pulled her away from the down soldiers. She let out a scream and attempted to throw her elbow at her attacker, but his grip was to tight and wasn't letting go. Adonis waited for the powerless demoness to tire herself out before he threw her down on the ground causing her to scrape the bare skin on her legs drawing blood. Adonis leapt on top of her with a snarl, his mission at the forefront of his mind.

"I will make you mine." he said with an almost inhuman growl. Raven fought him off as best as she could, but she was getting tired and losing energy. It wouldnt matter soon, and her fate would be sealed. Suddenly the door to the roof flew off It's hinges with an explosion of pink energy. Adonis didn't waste anytime as he got to his feet pulling the girl up with him. He wrapped his arm around her throat and kept her planted firmly in front of him.

A red-headed women, Raven remembered to be Malundra, stepped onto the roof. Her eyes glowing a dangerous pink, but still showed the rage in her eyes that she was fighting to keep back. Malundra turned her gaze to Adonis who was cowering behind Raven.

"Release. Her. This. Instant. Flith." she spat. Pink energy began to slip from the women causing the rooftop to shake and brake apart. A fushsia colored stone appeared on her forehead releasing more of her mystic energy causing Adonis to back up towards the roofs edge.

"Don't come any closer or I'll throw her off the roof." he threatened. Raven looked at Malundra with eyes that begged her to save her, to take her away from this place and never come back. Adonis stopped when he hit the roofs edge and motioned Raven towards the side. "I mean it!" he yelled.

Malundra seemed to stop moving, but her power continued to tare apart the roof under her anger. Raven saw her savior stop, but something in the distance caught her eye that gave her an idea. With one push she shoved herself over the edge of the roof with Adonis still clinging to her.

The building was only a two story building but Raven felt as if it was an eternity before she would hit the ground. She heard the scream of Malundra and some others she didn't see at the time coming from behind her, but they wouldn't be able to save her. Raven took a chance with this move, so she closed her eyes having mixed feelings about what she had done. If died so what, she knew where she was going, if she lived then how would she move on from this encounter with Adonis. Well one thing was sure, she would have to wait for death a little bit longer when a familiar pair of green talons grabbed her by her shoulders and guided her gently to the ground below.

Just as he had so long ago, proving to her and himself that they were indeed friends.

Raven opened her eyes in time to see the green Condor change back into the green imp she knew and loved to hate.

"Raven are you o-" Raven threw herself around his neck cutting off his speaking altogether with a vice like hug.

"I knew you'd come." she whispered into his neck, her hot tears bathing the green skin she found so much comfort in.

Beast Boy wrapped his arms around her as she sobbed into his chest. He was so happy she was ok, but he had to fight past the fact that her scent was mixed with that of Adonis which made him sick with anger. However anger would have to wait, with her this close to him he couldn't be angry. Physically she would be fine, however the same couldn't be said for Adonis. A fall from two stories Isn't enough to kill a person, but it does hurt like hell.

Adonis laid sprawled out on his back on the hard pavement, groaning in pain and unable to move. Robin pulled up on his R-Cycle next to the groaning diviant, hopped off and checked for a pulse.

"I need to get an ambulance for him." he said though he made no rush to actually contact one. He glanced over to Beast Boy and Raven and he came to the conclusion that the sorceress was in good hands. There was a flash of salmon colored light and Malundra along with Terra and Rose appeared before the Titan boys. Each of them took a moment to make eye contact with each other, not really sure who knew who.

"So," Beast Boy was the first to break the awekward silence, "what did we miss?"

Back in the Lab

The final soldier was lying unconscious when the last bit of light left his body and flew through the roof. The handsome young man emerged from his corner and waved his gloved hand over the sprinklers above him shutting them off immediately. He placed his hands on his hips, a pleased grin spreading across his handsome features.

"I think we passed with flying colors don't you think?" he asked out loud. Out of the last soldier, the humanoid light emerged from his body and began to take shape. The light began to shape itself into a young boy with shaggy golden blonde hair with two strands framing his young innocent face, bright lime green eyes, and dressed in a pure white shirt with a golden tunic and black pants along with white boots with golden braces on the tops of his boots and his wrists with a matching golden belt.

He looked around and gave a smile and thumbs up to his companion, then pointed to the top of his wrist as if he was asking for the time.

His companion got thoughtful. "Well I think we have a few extra minutes. But you know your supposed to stay out of sight right?" The blonde nodded, slightly disheartened, but understood. "I know it sucks, but this is how it's gotta be. After this though theres not a doubt in my mind that we'll make it to the new team." The blonde smiled again and once again tapped the top of his wrist. "Right. Lets go." In a flash of blinding white light the two boys vanished.

The Titans West tower was quiet, almost scary quiet, but it made sense since it was four in the morning by the time the group came back. Terra, Rose and Malundra were placed in the living room on the U-shaped couch and were now sleeping peacefully. Beast Boy took it opon himself to make sure each of them had blankets and were comfortable, Robin however was no where to be seen for the moment. He had a lot to do at the crime scene and was only going to get worse night would eventually become morning.

Mostly he had to deal with Adonis who was taken to the hospital under police supervision. He was admitted with multiple broken bones, a few reuptured organs, and was completely unconscious. The JCPD would have to wait to get a statement from Raven though, but managed to get one from Terra who had overheard the boy confess to another vile act he committed earlier in the week. Fortunately Robin wouldn't have to deal with the group of marines that were left behind. They were however all demon free and all very confused not remembering the last few days.

However interesting all of these things were, that was the last thing on the minds of the two boys who emminated peace, and a pure white aura around them. It took them a while to find the room in question due to the various warding spells placed around the room in question, but once they found it they snuck in as quietly as they were able.

"You have two minutes." The black haird boy said.

The young blonde one nodded letting his whisps of golden hair to dance about his young face. He krept quietly around the room, not making a sound and found himself next to a young girl who had curled up in a small ball underneath a thick black bedsheet. He knelt down in front of her, a small smile coming to his face. A lock of her pink hair had fallen over her beautiful sleeping face and with a gentle hand he brushed it aside tucking it behind her ear. She fidgeted slightly, but settled back into sleep as she snuggled into the large pillow underneath her head.

He smiled again but this time had tears forming in his light green eyes. He had missed her so much over these past few months, and seeing her again...there weren't any words to discribe it. He wiped his eyes then turned to the other occupant who was sleeping in the room.

He was sitting on a desk chair not a few feet away from the girl in a protective manner, with his arms crossed and his head down in a deep sleep. The blonde boy couldn't help but smile at him as well. He may have been asleep, but the blonde boy knew if any danger came within a hundred yards of the girl he loved, then this warrior would stop at nothing until she was safe.

He felt a hand on his shoulder no doubt coming from his companion. "It's time to go. But I think it's safe to say she's in good hands don't you think?"

The blonde sniffled whiping his nose and nodded. He ventured a kiss on the pinkets forehead, but again she merely fidgeted while a small smile came across her face. Both boys stood back and in a small flash of light, left the world they once knew and flew off into the heavens.

Beast Boy slowly made his way down the familiar hall that would take him to Raven's room. They hadn't been able to get much information out of her, which was understandable given the current situation, and let her go to her room once her wounds were dressed. Raven could hear a glutteral growl as he carefully bandaged each of her wounds, and see the rage in his eyes. Just that thought of someone else touching her in such a violating manner made him want to throw all morals he had out the window, find Adonis and rip him limb from limb. Once she was finished she went off to her room for the night.

Once everything was situated with the other guests and his own teammates, Beast Boy wanted to check on the powerless empath. He knocked lightly on her door, his sharp animal instincts picking up the soft rustling from the other side.

"Come in." he heard her say. He opened her door and entered cautiously. She was sitting at the edge of her bed, she looked like she hadn't moved from that spot since he brought her back to the tower. She was staring at the ground with a blank expression, her eyes seeming to be lost in thought.

"Hey Rae...I...uh.." even if he was stuttering over his words he spoke softly. "I just wanted to see how you were doing." He mentally facepalmed. How do you think she's doing idiot!?

Raven glanced at him with a still blank expression, but he could see the question "did you really just ask that?" in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm...uh...I'll just leave." Beast Boy turned to leave berating himself. Stupid Stupid Stupid!

"Thank you..." Beast Boy stopped and inch from the door. The soft voice of his teammate barely reaching his sensitive ears.

He turned. "W-what?"

She had looked back down zeroing in on the same spot on the floor again. "Thank you." she said again slightly louder.

Beast Boy turned back around and slowly, but gently, approached her again. "It's no problem Rae, you know we'd be there for you no matter what."

Raven let out a small chuckle. "I'm actually not talking about that." Beast Boy tilted his head in confusion. "I'll let you know that I remember everything that happened earlier this evening, when you guys got back to the tower." Beast Boy felt his face heat up thinking back to the experience. He really really hoped she wouldn't remember. "What I am thanking you for Beast Boy is, you had a chance to...uh...you know..."

"Yeah yeah, oh yeah...I...uh...know what your talking about yeah." Beast Boy's face felt like it was on fire and looking at Raven she had a very dark color of pink creeping up her cheeks.

She cleared her throat hoping some of the color would go away. "Like I said we had the chance to...you know...but you didn't, because you knew I wasn't in control of myself." She looked up at him with beautiful violet eyes that Beast Boy loved so much. "You had enough respect for me to say no, and after everything tonight I realized just how much respect and self control it took for you to do that. For that Beast Boy, Thank you." She turned her head again looking at the floor. "When I think about it, It's kind of...(mumble)."

Beast Boy didn't catch it at all, even with his sensitive ears. "It's kind of what?"

Raven knew she wasn't loud enough for him to hear. "(Mumble)."

Beast Boy got closer to her. "Raven I don't undertand you. It's kind of...what?"

She cleared her throat again not looking up at him. "It's kind of...hot."

Beast Boy forgot how to breathe. Did Raven, the emotionless, introverted empath just say that I, Beast Boy goofball of the team, did something that was...HOT?

Silence fell over the friends as Beast Boy fought to process what she had said. She didn't dare face him, her face aflame by what she said. However with the silence getting to much for her she turned her head slowly to face him. She was met with a blank stare, then his mouth slowly grew into a small grin.

"I'm sorry Raven what did you say? I still didn't quite catch it."

Raven rolled her eyes, not intent on repeating herself. "You heard me." she answered dryly.

Raven stood up and walked to the other side of her bed, Beast Boy right behind her. "No Raven I'm serious I didn't hear you. Say it again, but you'll have to be louder. Perferably in front of Cyborgs room at the top of your lungs." Beast Boy stopped when he stepped on a piece of paper poking out from underneath her bed.

Raven didn't notice. "You heard what I said now I want to go to bed so please excuse-" She turned around seeing him fiddling with something.

"Raven what's this?" Raven went wide-eyed. It was the envolope Malundra had given to her.(3) With everything going on, she had forgotten all about it. She took it from his hands and turned it over in her own. "Rae?"

Raven flopped down on her bed again. "This was given to me by Malundra a few nights ago."

"The red-head? Why did she give that to you? What's in it?" Beast Boy took a seat next to her looking curiously at the paper.

Raven just looked at the envolope as if it was going to start talking to her. "I don't know. All Malundra said was that whatever was in this envolope would bring me piece."

Beast Boy got a bright look on his face with a matching toothy smile. "Then lets open it!" He reached for it but she tore it away from his grasp. He looked at her confused. "Raven don't you want to open it?"

"I..I.." she couldn't finish her sentence, not with him staring at her like a grinning idiot.

He scooted closer to her. "Raven this could be something that will help you control your powers, or something that will tell you your not Trigon's daughter, or a million bucks!" She couldn't help but laugh at the last one, but her face fell soon after. "Raven," Beast Boy took her hand, "What are you afraid of?"

Raven looked at his hand over her own then followed up to his emerald eyes. Those eyes. So full of kindness and comfort, she could be lost in them all day if she let herself. She knew for a fact she could trust this...man before her there wasn't a doubt in her mind. Her heart began to flutter slightly, it was an odd, alien feeling, but a nice one. She tore her eyes away from his and looking down at the envolope she answered.

"Because I don't believe peace, or happiness, or anything like that will ever be for me. Every time I get even a slimmer of happiness, It's ripped away. So why should I even bother?"

She felt Beast Boy's hand over her cheek and guide her gaze back to meet his eyes. "Stop it. You hear me? Stop it. You think your the only one whose made mistakes? You think your the only one who has something inside them that scares the living hell out of them? Everyone in this tower has done something they are not proud of, everyone here has a darkness inside them, but that does not mean we don't deserve happiness. If anyone in this world deserves happiness, Raven, It's you."

Raven couldn't believe what she was hearing. Robin has said the same thing to her earlier, but for some reason with Beast Boy here, the words meant so much more to her, she couldn't help but believe it. Small tears came to her eyes as she wrapped her hand around his lowering it down but not letting go. Beast Boy guided her head to his shoulder and he held her there, each breath he took enveloped his senses with her own unique scent. The funny thing was, she was doing the same to him. His body was so warm and comforting she never wanted it to end, even if she was getting tired.

They sat there in each others embrace for a bit longer before sleep began to take over.

"Beast Boy?" she whispered. He responded with a soft "hm". "Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?" He let her go so he could look into her eyes, seeing if she was genuine or not, when he saw she was sincere he nodded.

She reluctantly removed herself from his embrace and crawled under her covers. Beast Boy, with a michevious grin, changed into a tabby cat and slipped into her bed with her. She rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.

"Just an FYI. If you tell anyone about this, or me trying to seduce you. They will NEVER, find your body," she smiled a threatening smile, "understood."

Cat-Beast Boy meowed a terrified meow in understanding. She let him go and he nuzzled his way under her neck. Raven let out a giggle as the cats soft fur tickled her face. Cat-Beast Boy whipped his head around at the sound. She did her best to put on another threatening glare. "Don't tell anyone about that either." The cat simply gave a little nod before cuddling under her neck again. She fought back the childish giggle again and settled in with him snuggled next to her face. If this was what happiness and peace felt like, I can get used to it.
