A/N: "Hello" Translation

Robin walked up the stairs towards what he could imagine was a class practicing their routine. To his surprise when he opened the door most of the class were kids younger than him, some were even small children. They all looked at him when he opened the door and bowed making Robin feel a little uncomfortable.

"Um no need to bow to me, I was wondering if the master is in?"

Looks of confusion were all over the faces of the children, which instantly told Robin one thing: none understood what he was saying.

"Great, um…sensei?" he hoped that word would get through and a few children perked up and nodded. He noticed one of them went to a door to the right wall and knocked before saying something in what Robin knew was Japanese as the word gaijin was thrown around. The child then went back to his position in line and stood silent. The door the child had knocked on opened slowly revealing a child who looked no older than ten but the look in his eyes was a look of a man far older. The child looked at him and Robin could see this was who he was looking for as Robin's eyes could see what humans could not and he knew the child that stood there in a ceremonial kimono was far from human and far from a simple child.

"Who is this?" Wrath spoke with a voice that commanded respect.

One of the children went in front of him and bowed before speaking, leaving Robin in the world of ignorance as he could only understand a few words as they seemed to drift from Japanese, to Chinese, to Korean, to various other languages.

"We don't know teacher, he came in and asked to see the sensei. So we went and got you."

"Hmm, tell the class they're dismissed for the day, I shall talk with this foreigner." The kid before Wrath nodded and happily told the class they had the day off which was met with happy yells and some grumbling stomachs. Wrath just kept staring at Robin as the class filed out of the room; making Robin feel he was being studied like an insect.

After the last child left and closed the door Wrath gestured for Robin to sit with him at a small table.

"Would you like some tea?" Wrath spoke in perfect English and Robin just nodded as the devil child walked into the room he was in before and came out moments later with a tea kettle and two cups. Wrath poured Robin and himself a cup in silence which began to annoy Robin but on the surface he didn't show it.

"So you're Wrath? You look much different than I expected." Wrath just looked at him and took a sip from his cup before speaking.

"Hmm, we devils are known as deceivers remember? So it makes sense I take a form completely the opposite of what my titles of Wrath and War dictate."

"War as in---"Robin was cut off by Wrath.

"Yes, I am one of the horsemen but that is not important, I already got the message from Greed and decided I will teach you two things, the first will be to control that anger of yours when in devil form."

"And the second?"

Wrath just gave him a look that said don't interrupt.

"That's assuming you can pass the first part, I will teach you what I know as the Horsemen of War." Wrath spoke in a calm collected voice that was all business. Robin was expecting a brute of a man that spoke like he looked but instead in front of him was this kid who was not only a Sin but one of the four horsemen and he acted like he was at peace with the world.

"Now Robin, let us begin. Before I can teach you anything we need to rein in that temper of yours and either control it, or destroy it. Now let's get started."

***Titans Tower***

Padre sat watching Raven and the other three Titans go through their training exercises. Kurt earlier had talked to Starfire and told her he would be back after he thought a few things over. Padre knew what he was going to think on and he smiled knowing his words had gotten through to the hard headed angel. He watched his adoptive daughter use her powers to hurl a few objects at Beastboy and Cyborg who either dodged or shot them out of the air. She had asked Padre why her demonic blood was being so quiet and he explained it in simple terms.

(flashback)

"Okay explain Padre." She stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest knowing if he started cracking jokes she would hit him regardless if he was her adoptive father.

"Bossy aren't we? Well demons are very basic creatures, they eat, they fight, and they fuck, they're like animals. I'm powerful enough to force your demonic blood into submission, sort of like your blood recognizes me as an alpha and has backed down Robin on the other hand has to prove to your demonic blood that he is an alpha or else you will attack him every chance you get."

"Okay, that makes sense sort of, I got another question."

Padre made a small gesture for her to ask. He actually liked talking to her and was getting used to the others and vice versa, though Kurt was still apprehensive around him.

"What is the difference between demons and devils?" Padre's trademark smile appeared and he motioned for her to sit.

"It's quite simple, demons want to destroy the world, devils want to conquer it. We devils were originally angels but we combined our blood with the native demons of hell to become what we are today."

"So in a way you're just like me, a hybrid."

"Yup, we are just hybrids. It's why the other two races hate us probably even more so than each other. After we became what we are it was agreed that no more hybrids were allowed but I never did like following rules so I'm going to break this one."

"If hybrids are so powerful why haven't you won the war?" Raven was confused.

"Besides me and less than fifty others there are no more original devils. Hellspawn such as Robin are devils but they're not hybrids, more like superpowered souls. We original devils are powerful but we're not god like, well I am but that's because I'm awesome." Raven shook her head and sighed, Padre had a huge ego she'd give him that but then a question came to her mind that needed answering.

"How's Robin doing?" It was a question that was asked everyday by her and all the other titans.

"He's doing fine. He's got two more to go and then he'll come back. Then he can go about dominating you." Padre dodged a swing of her fist and knew it was play time now. He struck a nerve and just loved watching her get upset.

"What was that Padre?" Her fist was shaking and a tick mark was growing on her forehead as she stared at her 'father' with intent to kill.

"He needs to dominate your demonic blood to be able to stay with you, so in a way he has to dominate you, and don't get mad at me! That's one of your fantasies remember? I read your diary and you my daughter need a new form of release therapy, though I'm sure when Robin gets here you'll be getting all the release you nee---YIKES!" Padre vanished in a puff of smoke as Raven through the couch at him with her powers, it wouldn't hurt him but he was in no mood to get hit by furniture. So he left the room and a growling Raven behind.

(end flashback)

'Yup she sure kicked my ass when she found me, who knew a fridge could hurt?' he sat there rubbing the spot on his head where said fridge landed on him. He knew Robin would have to do something to tame her demon otherwise his plan would be shot to hell.

'Well I know he'll be powerful enough to do it but he won't know how to. Hmm maybe if I make her full demon? Naw that wouldn't work, it would make the problem bigger. What to do what to do.' He kept thinking over many different ideas and finally decided to just let Robin handle it and if he couldn't he'd step in to help.

Several days had passed with the Titans doing nothing but relaxing and training. Kurt had come back earlier and announced he would be staying on Earth with Starfire which caused the alien princess to squeal with delight and hug him tightly. Padre watched this happen with a larger than normal grin on his face as he now had another plan to work on: Operation Angel Lay. He hated messing with the kid's minds but he knew Starfire was too naive and innocent to act and Kurt was an angel which said enough. But his plan would have to wait as an alarm went off letting the Titians know they were needed.
