Hey Peoples!

So, due to a request by an 'anonymous source' I will have some characters be talking about some questions you might want answered at the end of this chapter and the chapters to come. Just so no one is unsure about what is going on in the story.

"Magic Tricks"

Ella simply sat and watched from above in a cage, smirking, as he scalded every creature that met his path as he rampaged through the area. Ella had seen in Raven's mind what he was doing to her and had simply blocked the connection. All of it was simple mind games and Trigon was mad because she had figured it out.

Ella was waiting for him to figure a way out for blaming Tetra. Suddenly he reached up and scalded the cage, she waited until a hole burned before jumping out and landing in a kneeling position before standing. "You know, I think you just live to hate me."

He glared down at the smug little teenager, "You should be dead!"

Ella feigned hurt, "But then I couldn't have done your little resurrection ceremony."

"I could have brought you back." He growled at her.

"But you could kill me a thousand times and I would still hold up."

He rounded on her, no longer pacing, "How did you figure it out? How did you know that it wasn't real?"

Ella shrugged, "Fear and pain are only in our minds. People could have a broken arm and have someone kick it but they could still get up. Fear is the same way, you may be afraid of something but- in the words of my mother- 'I am afraid, but that doesn't mean I can't fight.'" Ella picked up a random rock off the ground and levitated it in her hand, spinning wildly. "My pain was nothing. It was only an illusion."

Trigon's hand suddenly gripped her around the waist and pulled her up to eye level (for him), "It can be real if you prefer."

Ella struggled in his hand, pushing with her own hands on his. When he had stopped talking she looked up at him with glowing eyes, "Try it and you're dead."

Trigon laughed at her threat, "You threaten me? The almighty Trigon?" His eyes flickered to her glowing hand. "With mere magic?"

Ella's hand suddenly glittered from something silver in her hand, she squeezed the knife that was in her hand and held the point to her chest, "Magic isn't exactly what I had in mind."

He laughed again, "You would kill yourself to save others?"

Ella's hand nor expression wavered, "Yes. I'm not afraid of pain or death."

Trigon tried to melt the knife but she shielded herself from the fire. "What's the matter Trigon? Your precious prize to valuable to risk killing?"

He screamed in irritation and dropped Ella, she landed on her side. Ella got back up with the knife still to her chest and backed out of the room slowly and keeping eye contact with him. Suddenly Tetra shot out from nowhere and sliced her arm. Ella simply stared at her blood before wiping it off with her hand and leaving the room.

Trigon glared at Tetra, "Why did it not work? Why is she not afraid of me?"

Tetra kneeled to the floor, "She is a powerful little nuisance Master, let me take care of her. She will do what I say."

"And how do you plan to get her to do that?" Trigon challenged.

Tetra looked up and smiled at him. The only way to describe it was pure wickedness. "Watch me."

Raven entered the common room early that morning, late for her. Robin was already in there, but no one else was. "Robin." She greeted him.

Robin stared at her for some reason, she ignored it and continued making her tea, placing the water in the kettle. Finally irritation won over patience, "Is there a reason as to why you are staring at me as if I've just told you that I've shot someone and threw them into a river?"

Robin shook his head to clear his thoughts and bit his lip nervously, "Uh . . . no."

Raven sighed and put the kettle in place and turned around, leaning on the counter. "Tell me what is bothering you, you are sincerely annoying me right now."

Robin rustled his hair a bit to try and calm down, "Well, yesterday-."

"I already told you I didn't know anything." Raven interrupted, assuming the wrong thing.

"No! Not that um, well when you caught Ella yesterday and were on the ground you kind of . . . well you let Beast Boy put his arm around you like you were . . . uh . . . yeah." He finished. Practically ready to explode.

Thankfully Raven had put her hood up before entering the room, she stared at him icily, "Robin, where exactly is this going?"

Robin gulped. "Just that, well . . . ever since Ella got here you two have been kind of . . . close lately." He finished

Raven still looked irritated, "Ella can be very influential Robin, everywhere she wants to go Beast Boy is going or he is the only one who can go. Ella simply drags me along for the ride because she claims I'm too dull." Raven snapped before turning back around to shut off the stove for her now steaming pot.

Robin was thankful for the break of awkward silence when Starfire came into the room, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Good morning friends." Starfire gave Robin a kiss on the cheek before Raven nodded a greeting to her as she poured her tea, "Has Ella awakened yet friend Raven?"

Raven sipped her tea and shook her head, "I was with her all night. She didn't wake up but she winced once. I don't know why but a cut was on her arm but I healed it. My guess is he gave it to her or she did something stupid."

Starfire looked confused, "Please friend, explain."

Raven put her cup on the counter. "When you are unconscious, meditating, or any other time, he can contact you. My guess is after Ella defeated his little power surge he began to yell at her and she threatened him back. You'd have to ask her when she wakes up though, I can't be positive about anything." Raven picked her cup back up.

They looked up as the door opened again and Cyborg entered the room, followed by Beast Boy. They were arguing about some video game Raven could care less about. She refilled her cup, even though it was hardly half empty before turning back around to her surprise to see Beast Boy standing in front of her. "Yes?" She asked surprised

"How's Ella?" He asked, but by the way he said it, it sounded more directed to her well being then Ella's.

"Ella is fine. She hasn't woken up yet." Searching for a distraction she changed the subject that gave her an escape. "Actually I was going back into her room to stay with her again."

"Oh okay." He stood aside and she passed him, trying not to look hurried as she headed toward the door, for some reason feeling sick.

He hadn't realized the Titans had been staring at him, "What?" He asked confused before frowning, "I was just asking if Ella was okay."

"I don't know man. Yesterday on the roof was a little . . . weird." Cyborg commented

Beast Boy shrugged, "She looked freaked. I was just trying to be nice." In actual fact he hadn't realized what he was doing until it had happened.

"Yeah whatever man." Cyborg smirked.

Ella felt her senses slowly coming to her and slowly realizing that someone was occupying the edge of her bed. She peeked one eye open, seeing the back of Raven before pretending to be asleep again.

Raven sighed in relief. She was able to escape the sudden awkward atmosphere in the room with Beast Boy. Looking up at the peacefully sleeping mind-reader helped her relax a little more. Raven suddenly felt very bored-like which was not common for her. If she meditated Ella might wake up and she wouldn't notice. What else was there to do in Ella's room?

Raven got off the bed and began searching the book collection that Ella had on a black wooded shelf. Most of them were fairy tales, but one had no title. Raven picked the book out of the shelf and examined the white plain cover. Nothing gave any hint as to what was on the inside. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

The lock opened without breaking and she opened it. The pages were black and the lines were white. All the writing had been written in an elegant silver hand and looked as if they were poems Ella had written. Raven would have closed the book . . . had she not been so curious as to what a mind-reader thought.

Raven flipped to the Table of Contents Ella had apparently made for herself. Raven flipped to the one title 'Sweet Innocence'. Ella apparently had a lot of time on her hands considering how many pages had been written on.

'Sweet Innocence'
You love to hate me
Hate to fear me
Envy what I can see
You poor sweet innocent things
Pity your sweet normal lives
Feel jealousy towards those unlike you
Fear is only a mind game
Used to immobilize those who are weak
Weakness is a game of truth
Are you weak or are you strong
It's not my place to choose
But I can hear what you chose

Raven re-read the poem and stared at it in confusion. Then she read the date and smirked, realizing the inspiration for her dark little poem. It was the date they had run into the girls with the lollipops who had made fun of them. Ella apparently wasn't very satisfied with the results and had written a poem instead. What amused Raven was the way Ella thought of them.

Poor innocence contaminated with envy, like little experiments. Raven flipped the page to see a much more difficult one to understand.

'Fear is a Trick'

One day I will kill him

A resurrection would be cruel when I'm done

Fearing him would be pointless

A simple waist of time

There is nothing funny about it

Yet I can't help but think

If all his games are mind tricks

Where is the real power behind it?

I found it and I will beat it

I said it before

Fear is the smoke and mirrors behind his tricks

So when the mirrors break

And the smoke goes out the window

What's Left?

Raven had a feeling Ella wouldn't be to happy if she continued reading through her personal thoughts so she closed the book and placed it back it on the shelf.

Raven heard clapping and she turned around to see a smug Ella, sitting up in bed. "Congratulations Raven. You're the first one to read my book and put it back."

"I-." Raven became very nervous, "I didn't mean to invade your privacy Ella. I'm sorry."

Ella simply shrugged and used her magic to retrieve the book. She opened it to a certain page, apparently having memorized the poem pages and began to read:

"Sometimes things change and I can't do a thing about it

Sometimes you have to suck it up and deal with it

Sometimes people aren't happy with your decision

But my outlook is, simply shove it

Whoever can't support me is not worth fretting over

I'm not a public figure, I'm a little girl

Someday I get to laugh at this

Someday I get to forget this

But then I know it's not today

And then I know I have to wait."

Raven stared at her, "When did you write that?"

Ella closed the book and got out of bed to put it back, "When I discovered what I was and didn't kill myself." Ella said in disgust, "You know when I wrote about the 'innocents' though, write?" Ella turned to Raven with her hand still in the shelf.

Raven nodded, "I found that one sort of funny actually." She smiled

Ella smiled back, "I think I should go make an appearance, shouldn't I?"

Raven pretended to be confused, "I thought you weren't a public figure."

"In this household I am." Ella laughed. "Come on."

The Titans looked up as Raven entered the room with her cup alone. "Is she up yet?" Cyborg asked

Raven put her cup in the sink and turned to the door without answering, "Get your scrawny little but in here." She snapped at the door.

The door slid open and it revealed a freshly clothed Ella walking to the edge of the platform. Her hands flew up in a 'V' shape as if to show herself off. "Surprise!"

"Ella!" Starfire shouted and zoomed past the surprised Titans, Ella was soon wrapped in a bone-crushing hug, "Oh friend, I have missed you!"

Ella laughed, "It's cool Star. I'm all better now." Starfire released her but was still smiling hugely.

Robin got up and patted Ella on the back, not being one for hugs. "Welcome back." He was still smiling anyway.

Cyborg ruffled Ella's hair a bit, "Nice to see you awake squirt."

"Oh gee thanks Cyborg," Ella said, playfully sarcastic.

Beast Boy was next, both Ella and Raven could sense the awkward tension coming off him, though only Ella knew why. Beast Boy grinned anyway, "Hey, you're up!"

"No duh!" Ella laughed and hugged him, so he wouldn't feel strange hugging her first. He hugged her back and then they both let up. All eyes then turned to Raven who was leaning against the wall.

She merely looked bored, "We made our peace, and we're fine now."

Ella grinned, "Yeah, Raven read my diary when I was asleep. I read one to her to tell her we were cool."

"You have a diary!?" Beast Boy shouted

Ella glared at him, "You touch it and you die."

"I thought it was a poem book, not a diary." Raven stated pointedly.

Ella pulled a lock of stray hair behind her ear, "Well, they were poems about my thoughts so technically it's a diary."

Raven nodded in agreement, dismissing the subject. Beast Boy on the other hand continued to press the matter, "What diary?"

"Mine." Ella said, purposefully annoying him.

"What's it look like?" He pressed.

"A book with writing in it. Now shut up or I'm going to smack you." Ella said, teasing.

Beast Boy pouted while Robin went to a more pressing matter. "Raven said you hurt your arm while you were sleeping, are you okay?"

Ella stared at Raven who looked away, "Yeah. I just . . . demonstrated."

"Demonstrated what?" Starfire questioned curiously

Ella bit her lip before turning her hand in a circular movement. Her magic eventually created an orb that had something shimmering inside of it. After a few seconds it fell out of her orb and into the palm of Ella's hand. A silver knife now rested there.

Cyborg snatched it out of her hand and stared at it, "Where did you get this?" He demanded

It flew out of his hand and back into Ella's. "It's mine. I made it with my magic."

"In your sleep?" Raven persisted, also surprised at her new 'toy'.

Ella nodded, "Trigon threatened to hurt me so I made this and threatened to kill myself. It worked, without me he'd have nothing and he knew I was serious-."

"Ella!" Robin's hand gripped her wrist with the knife in it and glared at her, "Killing yourself is not the way out of this." He said sternly.

Ella jerked her wrist away, "That depends on the situation were in Robin." No one said anything but continued staring in horror, "I'm not afraid of it, if I disappeared you wouldn't remember me." Ella suddenly smirked and threw the knife at the space between the kettle and the handle. "And I have excellent aim." She teased.

Raven stepped forward in the group, "Death isn't exactly something you joke about Ella. If you had died last night simply because of pain-."

"Your pain was in your mind Raven. An, and I quote 'Fear is the smoke and mirrors behind his tricks so when the mirrors break and the smoke goes out the window what's left?'. Well simply nothing but shattered glass and an empty room. Real pain is completely different. I could still deal with it but sometimes people would rather be dead then endure pain." Ella lectured them. "But then again, like I said, it all depends on the situation." Ella held out her hand and the knife flew back to it.

Robin shook his head, "That's not an option for you any longer. It won't have to be."

Ella looked him right in the eyes (mask), "We'll see." She replied simply

"You'd be so ready to give up your life?" Raven questioned skeptically.

Ella backed away from the group so now she was on the outside. She flipped knife so now it was facing her and held it to her chest, "Try me." She smirked at the scared expression on everyone's face. "I'm just kidding people!" Ella put the knife down, "I wouldn't kill myself when it would be pointless."

Raven glared at her but everyone looked on in shock. "Fear is only a mind game." She quoted, "Apparently you don't play games."

"Nope." Ella made the knife evaporate and both girls felt the tension in the atmosphere decrease greatly. "But then again, the poor sweet innocents are pitiful and I might just play a few games with them."

"Poor sweet innocents?" Beast Boy asked, so far Raven and Ella had appeared to be quoting some poem book or something.

Ella shook her head as she laughed. "Just, don't worry about it Beast Boy."

Beast Boy shrugged and turned back to the channel he had recently been watching along with Starfire, Cyborg, and now Raven. Robin on the other had was still looking over Ella, almost studying her. "What?"

He sighed and looked at her face, a very unreadable expression on his face. "This isn't just about you Ella." He whispered to her. Ella listened quietly. "Raven would never forgive herself if you disappeared or killed yourself over something as stupid as this."

"It's not stupid Robin." Ella replied, matching the volume of his voice. "And like I said before," Ella began to walk away and turned halfway back to him. "You won't remember me anyway." And with that, she turned and left the room.

Raven stared at her, "How do you find so many songs with unintentional meanings?"

Ella shrugged, "It's a gift."

The Titans reached them then and looked excited and happy, Raven pointed at Ella, not needing to have the ability to read minds to know there question. "Blackmail."

They all nodded and Ella frowned. "It was not-!" She stopped mid sentence. "Okay maybe a little."

"I liked the song choice, matches your poetry." Beast Boy teased.

Ella grinned, "That's why I chose it."

Raven glared at Ella, "Never . . . again." She growled. Ella looked frightened before nodding.

"Okay I promise." Ella said, smiling again.

"Good." Raven nodded in approval. "I'm just glad the spotlight didn't work very well."

"You're welcome!" Ella laughed. "Technical malfunctions are fun."

Raven rolled her eyes, "Nothing is coincidence when I'm with you."

"Nope." Ella agreed.

Starfire pulled Robin back out after a little while and Cyborg went out to join a group of people dancing. Ella walked to the other side of the room to watch what her two future parents would react to being alone.

Raven leaned irritatedly against the wall with her hood up and arms crossed. Beast Boy had his hands in his pockets next to her and really didn't feel like doing anything. Very unlike his normal routine. Raven noticed this as well and eyed him questioningly, "Aren't you going to dance?"

He shook his head, "I don't really feel like dancing with anyone. I suck at dancing for fast songs, you know that." He joked

Raven dismissed the subject with a shrug. Looking across the room she found Ella talking to a somewhat attractive young man who was clearly interested, clearly she wasn't. Eventually Ella looked away boredly and he gave up, walking away to go flirt with some other girl. Ella's eyes met Raven's instantly and gave Raven a knowing look.

Raven's gaze glanced at Beast Boy who was watching everyone else with little interest. He seemed very content with just sitting there. Raven glanced back at Ella who looked irritated with his reaction. Raven smirked and Ella glared back, suddenly a smile crept across her face and she was lost in the crowd.

Beast Boy looked up as the lights dimmed and the music slowed. Raven didn't exactly seem to care but he wondered if her daughter had anything to do with it. He looked at the DJ table where a shadow hopped away, he rolled his eyes. "Of course." He muttered.

"Did you say something?" Raven asked him, she seemed to have been thinking about something and his words tore her thoughts from her mind.

"No, just talking to myself." He teased. He gestured to the DJ table, "What's with Ella?" He asked casually. He had to pretend he didn't know what was going on.

Raven looked away and shrugged, "Who knows. I don't know everything about her."

Beast Boy smiled at Raven, "Yeah, who knows what's going on in her mind."

Raven didn't say anything but the song now seemed endless to them both. Raven searched the crowd for the girl who was causing the trouble, she was nowhere to be found. Beast Boy was doing the exact same thing but because of his animal qualities he'd be able to find the mischevious girl easier then Raven might.

Yet he was at a loss for the girls place either. Then a girl came out from the bathroom looking a little weird. Raven examined her emotions specifically and they seemed a little concerned. The brunette looked around the room carefully before heading back inside the bathroom. Beast Boy shared a look with Raven that made them both realize something was up.

He waited for her in the same spot while she ran through the crowd and into the bathroom. Once inside the brunette was alone, pampering her face with powder and applying a fresh layer of lip gloss from her black clutch. She looked up, "Oh my gosh! You're a Teen Titan aren't you? Raven right?"

Raven nodded, "Is . . . everything alright in here?"

The girl closed the purse after putting everything inside. "Yeah fine. Actually I'm not really sure 'cause this really weird girl ran in here freaking out about something and I went outside to see if someone was like following her but no one was there. She had a hat covering her face so I couldn't really see her."

"Was her coat and hat black like her hair?" Raven asked, stunned.

The brunette looked up, "Yeah, how'd you know that. Oh right duh, super powers. Sorry a little slow. Anyway she just kind of slammed the stall shut and when I came back like no one was there. It's still locked though, that one." The girl pointed to the only locked door and left.

Raven sensed the room to see if anyone was there. The brunette had been right and if Ella had been here she wasn't in there anymore. Raven left the bathroom and came back to meet Beast Boy, the song had changed. "What's up?"

"Apparently Ella might have been in there, but the girl that saw her only saw her for a second and wasn't exactly the brightest girl I've ever met."

Beast Boy nodded. "She's probably fine Raven, don't worry about it." He assured her as best as he could. "So how are you Raven?"

Raven was a little caught off guard at the question, "Er- Fine I guess." She resumed her position against the wall. "And you?"

"Same here." Beast Boy agreed, "Ugh! I'm so bored!" He complained.

"Then go dance." Raven said dully

He frowned, "I don't want to go by myself!" Then suddenly he grinned, "Raven-?"
"No." Raven already knew his question

"Please!?" He begged, "I'll help you get Ella back!"

Raven deliberated, "No."

"Raven!" Beast Boy whined, "Please?"

Raven was about to come back with a sharp comment when she turned to look at his sincere and pleading eyes, this answer wasn't as quick, "No."

Beast Boy silently gave a small victory for her wavering decision, "Please?"

Raven glared at him, "Even if I did say yes Beast Boy, we both know neither of us can dance."

Beast Boy smiled, "That's okay, I can wait."

Raven glowered at him before turning away.

Ella sat on the roof of the club staring up at the moon and leaning on the back of the letters for the sign. The moon had been having this strange pull on her lately, and she wasn't exactly sure why. It was like it was asking her to save it, so it would be able to shine forever and yet . . . what if she couldn't?

Ella had ran in the bathroom with these thoughts and teleported up to the roof to think, it was easier to be able to muffle the other thoughts with distance and think by herself, with just her own thoughts. When she was little she had exiled herself from everyone else so she wouldn't go insane. Every time someone entered the dark room she called her own she'd glare at them and repeat everything they thought or answer to it so they'd leave.

Eventually she was able to control herself but had yet to figure out how to completely shut off the connection she had with other people. Suddenly a seething thought popped into her head. Ella muffled her laughter with her hand and grinned at Raven's seething thought. It was powerful, so somehow it made it through the roof.

'Why can't he just leave me alone?' Raven's mind seethed, 'Ella would get a field day out this!'

Ella's eyebrow rose at that. Who was he? Then the loud peel of laughter shot over the city, this time un-muffled now.

Raven along with the rest of the club looked up at towards the roof. In the transition between songs a loud bell-like sound split across the skies. Raven growled as she vaguely recognized the sound, "Damnit." She hissed under her breath. Beast Boy stared at her questioningly, "Ella."

Beast Boy grinned at her, "Someone's thoughts a little angry?"

"I wonder whose." Raven retorted.

Beast Boy shrugged, turning back to the new song that now drowned out the laughter on the roof. 'Help?'

Ella heard the absence of music that made her realize the whole club could probably hear her, but she still didn't exactly care. After the music had drowned her out she calmed down until a curious thought picked at her, 'Help?'

She looked around the roof for an air vent or something that would show her the club, then seeing the panel that led would open if she pulled it, she grabbed and snapped it up. Looking around the club, she found Beast Boy still leaning against the wall if a grumpy looking Raven.

He was looking around, his eyes searching. Ella smiled and lifted her hand, as if taking someone's chin in her hand. Beast Boy's face moved up and stared at her.

Beast Boy felt his head jerked up and looked to the direction it was facing. A shadowy feminine figure with indigo eyes stared back at him curiously. He jerked his head away to make sure Raven wasn't looking before thinking something to the figure. She turned her head to the side, still watching him before straightening it and nodding.

Both the shadows hands raised and did her pointer fingers rotated in circles. Her gaze was fixed on the DJ and he now saw her movements very robotic. The woman was rolling through music and suddenly she picked one.

Beast Boy and everyone else looked around in the club at the new song that had interrupted the other in the middle of the song. He looked up to the closing panel, the shadow was very quiet, and hopefully no one but him had noticed.

The music sounded like a tinkling bell sounds that were very high, almost annoyingly high.

He looked at Raven expectantly, she crossed her arms and refused to look at him. Beast Boy tapped her shoulder. "Raven?"

She sighed, taking his hand the music bells flipped into a rhythm. He took her to the less crowded area and had her swaying to the music just as the man started singing. "This is what I brought you this you can keep. This is what I brought, you may forget me. I promise to depart just promise one thing. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep."

Suddenly a more rock sound began playing but still along the same beat. Raven seemed a bit surprised but didn't stop dancing. The verse repeated but a few words had been changed at the voice was lower. The song began verses of "ooooh"'s and Beast Boy spun his partner out, and then back in to the right timing.

Beast Boy kept Raven near him after the two spins and merely kept them spinning in a slow circle. He looked up at the roof's glass area just in time to see the shadow duck back down. 'I hope you're happy.' In actual fact, both persons were thinking the same thing to the same person at the same time.

Starfire was dancing with her arms around Robin's neck and his hands on her back. She opened her eyes for some reason and saw a shadow dart away, just as another one darted forward. Starfire pulled away and stared at the roof. Robin looked the same way. A couple near them did the same thing and soon the whole club was.

"Move!" Someone screamed

A large hole appeared in the middle of the floor just as a part of the roof collapsed from someone being smashed into it. Ella lay on her back, still awake. She jumped back up with her hands glowing and looking absolutely livid. A shadow with brown eyes looked back blankly. Before anyone could say anything Ella shot back out of the new hole and slammed the figure backwards.

"Titans! Go!" Robin shouted. All of the Titans flew or were carried or jumped up through the hole, the whole club ran outside to see the fight that now brewed on the roof.

Starfire saw Ella surrounded by three figured. Her own sister, Slade, and Vanessa. Ella's eyes darted to each one, all three standing very calm, even though Tetra was covered in dust from getting slammed into a wall.

"Blackfire! Stop!" Starfire shouted desperately. Her sister's gaze snapped to Starfire and the alien grinned.

"Hello sister dear!" Blackfire sneered.

"Deal with them. I got the runt."Tetra ordered Slade and Blackfire. The two nodded and stood in front of the Titans, blocking the way.

Ella's hands were flickering, as if her magic was draining. Ella noticed this and stared at Tetra, "What are you doing to me?"

"Ask your grandfather. You'll figure it out." Tetra taunted the young girl.

"If he can tap into me, I can tap into him." Ella muttered under her breath. Louder she called. "I can beat you without powers!"

"Well see about that." Tetra flew right at Ella, who didn't move an inch.

Ella had her eyes closed, when Vanessa was close enough, her eyes snapped open. All four of them.

"Ugh!" Ella screamed as she threw a red energy ball hurtling into Tetra who leaped over it and slammed into Ella, pinning her against the wall.

"You're good kid. But not good enough." Tetra laughed

"Try me." Ella snapped her leg up and kicked Tetra backwards.

Starfire threw rapid fire and Blackfire but it was easily dodged by her sister. Blackfire lunged at Starfire but the younger of the two burst up into the sky and came down on her instead. Blackfire blasted her off her and got back up. Starfire wasn't seen but suddenly she was slammed into a wall and thrown in the air. Blackfire flipped Starfire over with her own hold and Starfire plummeted into a different building.

Rolling away from her sister's fist that now replaced where her head had been, she tripped Blackfire as well. Both girls continued their vicious attacks that were both airborne and on the buildings.

Raven struggled with dealing Slade, more so then Starfire. She couldn't get a hold on him because his robots kept getting in the way. Robin was dealing with the robots with Cyborg as well and also trying to find where Starfire was. Cyborg was blasting and punching away, no one knew what had happened to Ella and Tetra.

Suddenly a high pitched scream pierced everyone's ears and the robots fizzed out their circuits. The Titans looked to see Tetra grabbing Ella's wrists, staring at her intently and angrily. Ella threw back her head and the scream ramped up louder then was thought possible.

Ella stared up at the being as a little girl. "Save me." She whispered

"Give into your powers, trust me." A light flashed

A half robot, an alien, a witch, a man in a mask, and a green man crouched down stood below her, "You can't have her!" The green one growled.

"Watch me take her!"

"STOP!" Ella jumped down in front of them. "Don't hurt them!"

"Ella!" The witch gasped

"You shouldn't be here!" The masked one snapped, "We can take care of this!"

"NO!" Ella rounded on them, tears streamed down her face, "You can't!" Flash.

"You deceived me right from the start and you know it!" She screamed at the same being, "It was all just a lie!" Another flash

"I promise kid. Trust me, this won't hurt a-." Slam! Ella put down the rock and began running away the way she had been brought. Flash.

Ella ducked behind the wall and flinched as a rock crashed into the corner of the wall she was hiding behind. "Come out, come out wherever you are!" A voice taunted. Ella sucked up the last bits of her energy and kept running. Flash.

Ella struggled in vain in the woman's magic. "Let go!" Ella's head snapped in the direction of the blonde woman and her eyes glowed. "NOW!" A boulder slapped into the woman and the witch grabbed her.

"Don't ever do that again!" The witch held Ella close and the child watched unfazed as the woman's hand hung limply in the rubble. Ella stared at it hard, soon she felt her father grasping her as well. Flash.

"I KILLED HER!" Ella screamed at them. "SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF ME, ISN'T SHE?" Ella began crying with anger.

"She's fine Ella!" The alien had her hands on her shoulders. "Please, you are scaring us." The green eyed, red headed girl begged.

Ella's hands unclenched and the room stopped shaking. Flash.

Ella realized she was screaming and stopped. Her mind read over what was going on and she stared curiously at Vanessa. "Is my life really that bad?"

Tetra seemed stunned at the reaction, "H-How did you-?"

Ella shot the woman away from her and felt her feet touch ground again. "And for the record, I don't like being touched."

Ella's hands rose above her head in a circular shape, as if she was holding an invisible ball above her head, "I still remember. You broke that promise." The red orb emanated from her hands and shocked the remaining robots, Slade, and Tetra. Wherever Blackfire was it was probably hurting her too.

Starfire backed away from Blackfire as red lightning shot across her body. "Sister?" Starfire wasn't sure it was a trick or power that Tetra had given her, Blackfire's arms were in rigid movements as if someone was punching her and she was too stiff to fight back.

Her sister stumbled backwards, toward the edge of the roof. Starfire stared at her, wondering whether or not she had noticed what was happening. Suddenly Blackfire had reached the edge and seemed on the bridge of fainting. "Blackfire!" Starfire flew to her sister and grabbed her arm just as Blackfire fell over the edge.

Starfire grabbed her sister's wrist with both hands and pulled her back up onto the roof. With slight difficulty Starfire picked her up and flew back to where the others were, despite hating each other Starfire still were family. No matter how much they both regretted the others existence.

Ella seemed to be struggling with controlling the orb she had created. Though Trigon was a part of her and she could control his powers, he could still fight back her influence. Tetra and Slade were on the ground clutching their sides and heads. Finally Ella gave up, breathing a little heavily just as Starfire landed with her unconscious sister in her arms.

"What has-?" Starfire looked panicked but Ella silenced her with a raised hand. She had her other hand on her knee and was squatting a bit, trying to catch her breath.

"Sorry Starfire." She drew in another breath, "It was . . . necessary here."

Starfire nodded and put her sister down and kneeled next to her, "What happens now friends?"

Ella walked over the passed out bodies on the floor. "A jail won't keep them. We've got to create a new place just to throw them off for a while."

Raven was still staring at the girl, "How did you do that Ella?"

Ella didn't look away from the bodies, "You never tried to tap into his power because you wanted nothing to do with him." Ella turned to face them all now, "But . . . I am what I am now. There's nothing to do but to used what I can against him and fight back. You can't change what is so why ignore it when you can fight back?"

Raven joined her, standing next to her as they examined the bodies. "I think I know just where to put them."

Blackfire groaned and rubbed her head as she woke up. Then she realized her hand wasn't on her head. The Tamaranian angrily looked down to find she was tied in some strange magic bonds she hadn't encountered. Looking up she found the two others in the same predicament. "You said I could have her!" Blackfire growled at Tetra.

Tetra didn't seemed fazed. "And you did, didn't you? Ella interfered, we just will have to make that not possible next time, won't we?"

Slade seemed annoyingly calm as well. "Do you have any idea how to get out of these?"

Tetra's eyes glowed and objects slapped a certain spot on all three of the bonds, they shattered instantly, "Ella and I have been fighting a long time. She doesn't feel like making stronger bonds because she knows I'd find a way out eventually."

Ella sat alone in her room while everyone else was asleep. The visions she had seen kept flashing through her mind of the little things that had happened when she was little, such a horrible life for someone so young. Many people had tried to protect her but when they did, guilt always flooded her whole being.

Beast Boy slept soundly as well, but his dream was confusing him:

Beast Boy ran next to a shadow, both of them running as fast as possible and finally he saw a not very obvious crack they could slip through. He grabbed her hand and pulled her through without warning, she fell once inside from exhaustion. He pulled one arm around his shoulder and moved her out of the main attention of the doorway.

Once she was settled she moved a large boulder in front of the crack with her powers before sitting on her legs, "This is all my fault!"

Beast Boy sat down on his legs in front of her, he took her face in his hands gently so she had to look at him, "None of this is your fault. You never meant for any of this to happen!"

She pulled her face away and hugged her knees tightly to her body. Beast Boy pulled his arm around her in his best sense of comfort. Suddenly the bangs crashed down the hallway and the rock shattered.

The girl closed her eyes and held her arm up to shield herself. Moving the rock had taken a lot out of her and it was the last of her powers she could use. Then she realized that she felt no wind and opened one eye, quickly followed by the other. A large beast stood towering in front of her, protectively.

"Beast Boy." She breathed

The beast lunged-.

"Get up!"

Beast Boy sat straight up, thinking to find Ella and seeing the indigo eyes from the shadow staring back at him irritatedly, "Ella?"

"Sorry no." Raven stepped out of the shadows and his eyes widened.

"R-Raven? What are you doing in my-?"

"Your thrashing could be heard all the way from my room. Not to mention the panic coming off of you in truck loads." Raven said calmly, "Alright there?"

He rubbed his head, trying to block out the fear he had sensed from the girl, "I guess."

She sat on the edge of his bed. "Want to talk about it?" He looked away, "Alright." She got up and waved goodbye, "Goodnight Beast Boy."

"Night." He muttered. The door shut behind her.

Starfire sat up in her bed as the sunlight peeked over the horizon. She yawned and changed into a fresh outfit before leaving her room. Entering the common room she found Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin. "Good morning friends!"

Everyone looked up and nodded or waved. Robin smiled and motion for her to sit down next to him, she did. The doors opened up again and Raven eyed the newcomer curiously, "And you're wearing that why?"

"I always wear this." Ella had the white cloak around her tightly. When Raven didn't seem convinced Ella came up with another answer, "It will make people more comfortable. Let's just leave it at that. Kay?" Everyone shrugged. "If you wanna see something weird you should see-." She stopped, "Never mind."

"What?" Cyborg asked her. "What's weird?"

"Nothing." Ella replied.

"Nah, what is it?"

Ella smirked, "Do you really want to know?"

He nodded. Ella stared at him, probing his mind before she shook her head, "No, you really don't." He took her word for it.

"What's on the agenda for today?" Raven asked sarcastically.

"I actually don't have anything planned for today Raven." Ella said sadly, "But if you want I can-."

"No. Forget I asked." Raven muttered before turning back to her book.

Ella stared up at window for some reason before shaking her head and running back to her room. Beast Boy after a few seconds slyly left the room to follow her. As a mouse he scuttled under the door and into Ella's room. On her bed Ella was sitting cross legged without her red marks or anything abnormal . . . for her. In front of her lay a glass rose that was see-through.

"What are you trying to tell me?" She muttered to it. "What do you want?"

Beast Boy kept his head carefully clear just in case her thoughts found his. Suddenly Ella smacked the rose to the floor angrily and stormed out of her room.

Mouse Beast Boy scurried over to the flower and sniffed it. Suddenly the core of the flower turned white and caused the rest of the flower to glitter. Beast Boy was too mesmerized to back away and remained staring at it. Suddenly a little orb popped out of the flower and engulfed the little green mouse, sucking it into the flower forcibly.

Ella walked around the lower part of the tower, not commonly used. It was mainly deserted and a storage area because now one came down here often. Ella suddenly felt a little light-headed and blinked in a dazed way. Suddenly her knees felt a little weak and she struggled to stay upright.

Beast Boy toppled into human form as he panicked and was thrown to the floor. "Ow!"

He got up slowly and then decided he couldn't avoid it any longer. Beast Boy looked up and examined the realm he was in. He was on a tower and the door inside was right behind him. Walking to the edge of the rock he stared down at the area, pale grass stood on the floor and the sky was a pale blue color. Everything here seemed without color or hope.

"Where am I?" He spoke to himself

"You shouldn't be here!"

He turned around to see Ella in with a black hood over her head, she seemed irritated. "Ella?"

And that's where I'm ending it. Now, as promised, here is some commentary from Ella, Raven, and Beast Boy!

Raven: (Glances at her comrades) What exactly are we supposed to do here?

Ella: (Shrugs) I don't know. Answer questions and stuff.

Beast Boy: What she said.

Raven: (Ignores him) Then where exactly are the questions?

Question #1-

Ella: That answer your question?

Raven: A bit hypocritical, isn't it?

Beast Boy: Yep

-(Clears throat)

All: Sorry.

Question #1: Does Raven know Beast Boy's secret?

Raven: (Looks at Beast Boy who is now blushing furiously with his eyes huge) What secret?

Ella: (Laughs hysterically, falling on the ground) N-No. (Giggles) She doesn't!

Beast Boy: (Glares) Next question!

Question #2: Why wouldn't the Titans remember Ella if she left?

Beast Boy: Yeah, I never got that either.

Raven: (Mutters) Shocker there.

Beast Boy: What is that supposed to mean-?

Ella: (Ignoring them) Well, to answer that, technically I don't exist in this time. Therefore, if I left, the incident of me being here would never have occurred in the first place because of the time period. (Pauses) It's hard to explain.

Question #3: Are Seina and Mithos going to be in contact with the Titans in the future part of this story?

Ella: I think so. If the Titans bore my then I probably will call them up. I liked them.

Raven: Yeah, but the author screwed up big time on that contest thing-

ITS NOT MY FAULT! I WAS TIRED AND I FIXED IT!

Beast Boy: (Grinning) Looks like you hit a soft spot Raven.

Ella: We all know what Raven hit, but Beast Boy (leans toward Beast Boy) what exactly do you want to hit?

Beast Boy: (Staring) WHAT?

Ella: (Falls over laughing once more).

Raven: (Eying her) Are we done yet?

No, one last question.

Beast Boy: Okay, what is it?

Question #4: Why does Raven keep dancing with Beast Boy?

Beast Boy: (Turns to Raven) Yeah, why do you?

Raven: Because I pity you.

Ella: (Smugly) Nuh-uh! I heard your thoughts, and you could've said no anytime you wanted to!

Raven: (Glares at Ella and crossed arms). I stand by what I said.

Ella: Well I mean dancing is one thing Raven but hugging him-.

Raven and Beast Boy: ELLA!

Ella: (Confused) What? Oh my god you guys, they read the chapter! They already know!

Both: (Muttering)

Well, that's it for those portion of questions. Thank you for reading and I will update soon. Don't worry, I'm being very good about that.

So. As tradition. LATER!
