-3 years later-
Raven sat on a couch in an unknown location and watch as a three year old Lilith played with some toys that Slade had bought her.
Lilith had long snow white hair similar to Hunter's when he was in his vampire form, but it had black and purple streaks throughout it, her hair went down to the centre of her back and she had beautiful piercing Emerald Green eye's just like Hunter's and she also had a scar that looked like a burn on her right bicep.
It had been three years since she last saw Hunter the one man she loved without question.
"mummy?"
When Raven heard Lilith's small voice her eyes focused on her caring emerald green eyes that reminded Raven so much of Hunter.
So much that it Hurt Raven's heart every time she looked at them.
Raven gave her daughter a fake smile as she said, "yes sweetheart?"
"are you alright mummy?"
'so much like her father' Raven thought absentmindedly thinking more of Hunter than Damian then she said, "yeah sweetheart I'm fine"
"where's uncle Slade?"
The words 'Uncle Slade' sent shiver's up Raven's spine but it was the only way to keep Slade happy.
"He's still at the store sweetheart"
"no, he's right here"
Raven's closed her eyes trying to keep herself from attacking him.
She opened her eyes just as he walked around the couch and crouched down near Lilith with his arms outstretched.
Lilith ran into the embrace with a happy smile.
She Wrapped her tiny arms around Slade's neck.
As Slade picked her up she looked at Raven with a look in her emerald green eyes that told Raven that she knew that Slade wasn't her Uncle.
Raven smiled at Lilith as she thought 'she is exactly like her Father' still thinking more of Hunter as Lilith's father.
Slade Put Lilith down on her feet who ran off to play with her toy's.
Raven Clenched her hand into a fist to keep herself from attacking Slade.
Slade noticed this as he said, "you alright Raven?"
"fine, just a cramp" Raven responded harshly,
Slade nodded picking up the remote for a TV that was across from the couch and turned it on flipping to the Jump City News channel.
"we still have no lead on who the Jump City Nightstalker could be, and we still have no lead on the whereabouts of one Rachel Roth if you have any information on her whereabouts please contact the Titans" the new Reporter spoke with an informative tone of voice.
"I wonder who the Jump City Nightstalker is?" Slade said with genuine curiosity.
'it's Hunter you fucking idiot' Raven thought to herself.
-with Hunter-
-three years before-
Hunter had shimmered into the lounge room where he saw Beastboy sitting on the couch his head in his hands and his shoulders were shaking as if he was crying.
Hunter's heart sank into his stomach as he said, "what happened?"
Beastboy shot to his feet and turned around to face Hunter as he said "Raven… She's Gone… Slade… h-he took her and Lilith"
Hunter heard Jaxon's voice behind him "Hunter don't"
Hunter Grabbed Beastboy by the throat putting pressure on his Throat.
Jaxon was over near Hunter in a blur and he Grabbed Hunter's wrist a few moments passed then Cyborg walked in yawning as he said, "I'm beat let hit the-" Cyborg couldn't finish his sentence his next words Mimicked Jaxon's as he said, "Hunter Don't"
Suddenly it was Raining in the lounge room of Titans Tower.
It was raining with tears of Scarlet.
-three years later-
Hunter walked into his apartment as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
He was now nineteen and hadn't seen the Titans or the woman he loved or even his daughter in three years.
Hunter sighed as he took his hoodie and shirt off and threw it across the lounge room not caring where they ended up, he sat on the couch turning on the TV and flicked to the Jump City news channel
Hunter stared at the TV blankly not even paying attention.
-with Richard-
Richard stood in what used to be Beastboy's room he found himself in that room more often than not.
"Richard are you alright?" came a female voice from behind him
Richard sighed and said, "yeah I'm fine Star"
Richard felt Starfire's arms wrap around him as she said "Friend Beastboy will be dearly missed but the world must have deemed it his time to pass on"
Richard nodded turning around and wrapping his arms around Starfire, burying his face into her neck and started to cry.
-with Terra-
Terra stood in the middle of the room where she had Sex with Hunter, she had gone completely numb After Hunter Killed Beastboy and Jaxon followed not long after her.
She couldn't care where Hunter was, and she couldn't care where Raven and Lilith were, it seemed quieter to her without the four members around.
None of Beastboy's shitty music, no Raven to piss people off with her emotionless nature, no baby screaming at all hours of the night and best thing in Terra's opinion was there was no more Hunter, no more temptation for her, no more guilt, no more emotions.
There was nothing in her anymore.
-with Jaxon-
Jaxon stood on the roof of Titans tower staring blankly at the sunset.
his best friend had left the Titans after killing Beastboy.
Jaxon had flipped his switch he felt nothing, and he knew Terra was going to ask to be turned soon and he was going to do it without question
He was going to do it
even if he regrated it later.
It was going to happen.
-with Hunter-
Hunter took his necklace off and looked at it.
It was the Necklace he had Given Raven, but he had moved the pendant to a thicker chain making it seem more masculine.
Tears started to well in his eyes as he looked at the pendant on the necklace, he then put the necklace on just as there was a knock on his door.
He looked over his shoulder at the door.
He wasn't expecting anyone, but he stood up and walked over to the door and opened it revealing a fairly short girl with neon pink hair in pigtails, but they were more like ponytails on the sides of her head.
It was Jinx, but she was wearing a dress that still matched her normal color scheme which was an array of a different shade of pink and purple.
She looked Hunter up and down her eyes lingering on his torso as she said, "you've developed into a fine young man, haven't you Hunter" she almost Purred his name.
"what are you doing here Jinx" Hunter responded lacking any emotion in his voice.
"I was just in the neighborhood and thought to stop by and see if you want to go out for coffee or something?"
"or I could just invite you in and we can have coffee here"
"don't mind if I do"
Jinx Smirked as she pushed past Hunter walking into his apartment and looking around just as the News reporter said while showing a picture of Raven "and we still have no leads on the whereabouts of Rachel Roth"
Both Jinx and Hunter ignored the rest as Jinx said, "so they still haven't found anything?"
"Nope," Hunter walked into the kitchen and pulled out two coffee mugs as he called out "how do you like your coffee Jinx?"
Jinx walked over to the doorway as she said, "white with one coffee two sugars please"
"K"
Hunter scooped one teaspoon of coffee into each mug then scooped two teaspoons of sugars into one mug then three into the other.
"how are you Holding up?"
Hunter froze when those words left Jinx's mouth then he said, "I'm managing"
"really because your known as the Jump City Nightstalker"
Hunter poured hot water into each mug as he said, "so what?"
Jinx sighed and said, "have you spoken to the Titans recently?" desperate to change the subject.
"Nope," Hunter said popping his lips at the p then poured milk into the mugs then handing the coffee with two sugars to Jinx as he took a sip from his own.
"I'm sure they are all missing you"
"I doubt that Jinx, I killed Beastboy, I wouldn't be surprised if they all hate me"
"that wasn't your fault"
Hunter put his coffee on the table as he yelled "Yes it was Jinx! His blood is on my hands! I had all every chance in the world to let him go but I didn't I killed him, I had no mercy"
Jinx sipped at her coffee calmly as she said "Hunter, they are all wrecks, I was there earlier today both X and Terra have gone Numb, Richard is a mental Wreck, Starfire seems to be fine, but I know she is only barely holding together and Cyborg wouldn't even come out of his room"
Hunter picked his coffee up again sipping it remaining silent.
Jinx waited for his response sipping her own coffee.
Hunter sighed and said, "there's nothing there for me anymore I am no longer a Titan, I'm hardly even Human anymore, I'm more Demon and Vampire than I am Human"
Jinx walked over to him and lifted his head, so he was looking into her eyes as she said, "no your still human those Emerald green eyes are more than proof of that"
Hunter pushed her hand away sculling his coffee enjoying the way it burned his throat then he said "Jinx, the color of my eyes means nothing it's what I see in the mirror that really matters"
"what do you see in the mirror Hunter?"
"you're a Demon, right?"
"yes"
(AN: as of now I have almost completely strayed away from any original source material, Jinx will pretty much be an OOC from now on)
"I'll show you then"
Jinx sculled the rest of her coffee then followed Hunter as walked into his bedroom with Jinx hot on his heels and he stood in front of a mirror that had a red Pentagram around it.
Jinx looked at the mirror and saw that Hunter's skin was now turning red, his eyes were turning pure black, his hair was white with black streaks, and horns were starting to sprout out of his forehead.
He was starting to look like he did when they first fought side by side but this time he had a black smoke around him, but he also seemed to have a dim light behind him and some sort of halo above his head that was a pitch black.
"see? this is what I am now"
"I don't believe that"
"your seeing it for yourself what more proof do you need"
"I have enough proof to show that you're not always what you are"
"what do you mean?"
"I mean that I used to be a villain"
"that was different you fell for a hero you changed because your heart changed"
Jinx took a deep breath as she walked over to Hunter grabbing him by his necklace pulling him down to her level as she whispered in his ear "I might just be falling for another one"
She then locked her lips with his.
Jinx smirked to herself when Hunter kissed her back.
After a few moments, Hunter picked her up and as an instinct Jinx wrapped her legs around Hunter's waist never breaking the kiss.
After a few more moments Hunter pulled away panting as he said "wait, what are we doing?"
"making out" Jinx panted back
Hunter nodded and said "right" and started kissing Jinx again who kissed back.
Hunter started to move back towards his bed.
Jinx parted from the kiss to catch her breath as she panted "what are you doing?"
"moving this little party to the bed"
Jinx smiled as she panted "alright" and locked lips with Hunter again
Hunter sat down on his bed moving so his back was on the headboard not breaking the kiss.
Jinx smirked as she pulled away from the kiss getting off the bed.
Hunter looked at her confused as he said, "where are you going?"
"nowhere," Jinx said still smirking as she unzipped her Dress dropping it to the floor leaving her in just her underwear which consisted of a bra and panties which were purple and pink striped.
Hunter smiled at Jinx as she walked back to the bed swaying her hips as she did so when she got back to the bed she crawled on all fours back up to Hunter throwing herself at him and locking lips with him as she did so.
Hunter locked his lips with hers as well.
Hunter Grabbed Jinx by her hips and in a blur, he had shifted the both of them, so she was laying on the bed with him on top of her their lips never parting.
Hunter parted from the kiss and started nipping at Jinx's neck causing her to let out little moans every now and then.
Hunter smirked as he moved back to attack her lips with his own.
After a few moments, Hunter felt Jinx's hands at his belt which Hunter quickly undid.
Hunter Felt Jinx smirk against his lips as she unbuttoned his jeans and unzipped them, quickly catching onto what Jinx wanted he parted from the kiss and took his jeans off throwing them across the room.
Jinx managed to get the upper hand by using what little strength she had to roll Hunter over and sat on his crotch.
Hunter sat up slightly enjoying the view he had as he said with cocky tone "a little eager are we"
Jinx smiled as she leaned down attacking Hunter's lips with her own and started Grinding against his crotch.
Hunter moaned slightly as he sat up pushing Jinx up with him, but it didn't stop her from Grinding against him.
Hunter quickly undid Jinx's bra which he pulled off letting loose her C cup breast and threw her bra across the room.
After a few moments, Jinx pulled away with a seductive smirk on her face as she slid off Hunter's lap and started to rub his dick through his boxers causing Hunter to moan.
Jinx gave Hunter another Seductive smirk before pulling his dick out of his boxers and taking it into his mouth and started to suck it while she took her panties off also throwing them across the room.
Jinx continued to suck Hunter's dick pulling it out of her mouth every so often just to lick up the length of it than to begin sucking it again.
Hunter continued to let out a moan every so often suddenly Hunter pulled his dick out of Jinx's mouth and pulled her up to his level and lowered her onto his dick causing her to moan and bury her face into his shoulder biting into his neck causing Hunter to let out a moan himself.
Hunter started to bounce Jinx using only his hips causing him to thrust his dick into Jinx slightly.
Hunter moved one hand behind his back shimmering some rope into his then he quickly laid back pulling Jinx with him and rolled over then quickly tied Jinx's hands together then tied them to the headboard of his bed.
Jinx blinked for a moment then looked at her hands that were above her head then looked back at Hunter with a smirk on her face as she said, "I was starting to think I would have to ask for it"
Hunter smirked as he inserted his dick into her causing her to let out a moan then started to thrust into her causing her to moan more.
Hunter continued to thrust into her before he leaned down close to Jinx's ear as he whispered in a deep seductive tone "say it"
"say what?"
"say what you've wanted to say the entire time"
"do whatever you want to me"
Hunter smirked as he elongated his fang and sank them into Jinx's neck causing her to moan but he didn't stop thrusting causing Jinx to moan with almost every thrust.
The second her blood touched Hunter's tongue he began to drink causing Jinx to moan louder.
Hunter quickly felt his climax coming and could feel that Jinx was close herself.
Hunter pulled his fangs out of her neck as he panted "I'm about to cum"
"me too" Jinx panted back
"where do you want it?"
"where ever the fuck you want"
Hunter continued to thrust until he Felt Jinx shaking under him and as well as her legs which had managed to snake their way around his waist.
Hunter groaned as he thrust into Jinx sending his seed deep into her.
Hunter untied Jinx's hands from the headboard then pulled out of her panting as he fell onto his back.
Hunter chuckled as he said, "wanna spend the night?"
Jinx giggled as panted back "yeah"
Hunter rolled over onto his side and pulled Jinx close with her Back to his chest and closed his eyes but heard Jinx say, "can you put your dick back inside me, for some reason I've always slept better with a dick still inside me after sex"
Hunter smirked as he slid his dick back into Jinx causing her to let out a small moan.
He closed his eye falling asleep almost instantly.
-with Raven-
Raven laid in a bed with Lilith laying beside her.
"mummy?"
Raven looked at Lilith and said, "yeah sweetheart?"
Lilith sat up and looked at Raven with a serious look in her eyes as she said, "uncle Slade isn't really my Uncle, is he?"
Raven felt tears forming in her eyes as she shook her head and said, "no baby he isn't"
"who is he then"
Raven blinked sending a few tears cascading down her cheeks as she said, "baby he is a very bad man, that why mummy is so nice to him all the time, but you can't tell him that you know ok"
"ok mummy"
Raven put her hands-on Lilith's arms as she said, "No baby I need you to promise me you won't say anything to Slade alright?"
"ok mummy I promise"
Raven smiled as she pulled her daughter close to her as if she was the last person keeping her to the world.
Raven sat with her back to the headboard as Lilith said, "can you tell me about Daddy?"
Raven smiled as she thought 'which one' deciding to settle on Hunter Raven smiled more as she said, "your daddy, he had beautiful emerald green eyes just like yours, he had a caring nature again much like yours, he was very smart that's why your so smart sweetheart you got it from him, but he was also there for me when I felt like no one else was"
"is that when you got your scars?" Lilith said running her tiny hand across her mother's arms.
(AN: keep in mind Lilith is part Vampire so she has Developed very quickly in terms of mental development that's why she can speak fluent English at the age of Three and why she is very smart for a three year old)
Raven sighed, nodding as she said, "yes sweetheart that's when I got my scars"
"can you tell me more about Daddy?"
Raven smiled as she said, "he went through hell and back just to keep us safe and just looking at you reminds me of him"
"do you miss him?"
"yeah I do but he's not as perfect as I make him out to be"
"what do you mean?"
"I mean that he had things about him that weren't always good"
"like what"
"he hurt your uncle cyborg, he did something with your Aunt Terra that I would rather not to tell you right now and he was mean to your Uncle Beastboy"
Raven's heart dropped when she said Beastboy because she realized for the first time in three years that the young green-skinned boy was probably dead by the hand of the man she loved.
Raven couldn't bring herself to call Hunter her boyfriend because she felt like they weren't together, and she wouldn't be surprised if Hunter had moved on by the time she was able to go back to the Titans.
If she ever can go back to the Titans.
"will I ever be able to meet, Uncle Cyborg, uncle Beastboy and Aunt Terra?"
Raven sighed and said, "maybe one day"
Lilith smiled at her mother before laying her head on Raven's shoulder and falling asleep.
After about an hour Raven place Lilith next to her with her head on her pillow then laid down next to her falling asleep.
-with Cyborg-
Cyborg paced his room, he stopped and looked at his computer screen only to start pacing again.
Cyborg had been monitoring the security cameras running facial recognition software for the last three years and nothing showed up, no Slade and no Raven.
Cyborg could tell that Beastboy's death… no… Beastboy's murder had hit the team hard even after three years the effect was as if it had happened just the day before.
Cyborg knew he was probably hit the hardest by it, Beastboy was his best friend, his gaming buddy, the boy that he could go to if the going got tough but now Cyborg Felt like he had nothing, no Honorary niece to run around after, his team was unstable and barely holding together.
Cyborg knew that Richard, Starfire, Jaxon, and Terra are all going to leave the Titans leaving him alone to run the tower by himself.
Cyborg looked at a wrench that was on his desk grabbing it and looking at it.
Cyborg growled then threw it across the room causing it to hit the floor with a 'ting' sound.
Cyborg put his head in his hands as he started to cry,
He sighed and said "why did Slade have to take her? Why her? Why did he have to Take Raven?"
Cyborg sighed as he looked at the monitor again to find no results then muttered "they say its forty-eight hours until they start looking for a body, it's been three years but for some reason, I feel as though she is still alive same with Lilith"
-with Jaxon-
Jaxon sighed as he sat on the roof the sun had truly set hours ago but he didn't want to leave the roof.
The wintry night air against his skin was the only feeling he had when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
He pulled it out, pressing the lock button bringing the screen to life and saw a news alert on the home screen.
He opened it and read it
It read "in a long string of murders caused by the Jump City Nightstalker there is very little consistent evidence, that evidence being two puncture marks on the necks of the victims, all the victims were drained of their blood, how ever that is where the consistent evidence ends, the cause of death for each victim is different but some share the same cause of death, one is snapping of the neck which has been seen in two victims so far one being one Zoe Quinn and another was Cayde Sixx, another cause of death seems to be Draining the victim of blood which has been found in a few different victims some including Jack Fall, Raymond Hodson, and Haze Ashworth, this is all the information we have at this time"
Jaxon sighed and said, "Hunter's been busy hasn't he"
Jaxon looked out at the city skyline with a sigh and muttered "where are you, Hunter? We could really use your guidance right now, we are falling apart… tearing ourselves apart" Jaxon stood up and screamed "where are you Hunter!" into the night.
Nothing came back.
There was no sign of him.
No roar back, no energy ball sent up as a signal, no fireball sent up for the same purpose and there was no connection with him through their Fusion Link.
Jaxon's humanity switch flicked back on as he started to tear up and yell "where are you!"
Jaxon sighed as he walked back into the tower and started to follow Terra's scent.
He quickly found her and walked straight into the room.
"hey Jaxon" came Terra's emotionless voice
She had her back to him just staring at the wall in front of her.
Jaxon didn't say anything instead he walked over to her grabbing her by her left wrist with his right hand and spun her around and quickly locked his lips with hers.
Jaxon realized his very low chance plan worked when Terra kissed him back and she started to radiate happiness.
Jaxon pulled away as he said, "glad to have you back babe"
Terra smiled and said, "you to"
Jaxon grabbed her hand and walked out of the room and into the lounge room where they saw Richard and Starfire holding each other.
Jaxon looked at Richard closely and saw that he was Crying into Starfire's shoulder and he saw that Starfire was barely holding it together.
Jaxon sighed as he walked around the couch Terra's hand in his, dropping it only so he could tap Richard's shoulder.
Richard looked at him then Jaxon held his arms out almost asking for a hug.
Richard stood up and embraced Jaxon, crying harder into his Adoptive brother's shoulder while Terra walked to Starfire mimicking Jaxon's gesture.
Which Starfire shot into and started Crying into Terra's shoulder.
After white felt like hours they all parted from the hugs just as they heard the door open revealing a giant cybernetic man they all knew as cyborg.
His human eye showed a broken soul, but it had determination.
Jaxon looked at him in the eye and said, "what are our orders?"
Cyborg made eye contact with the four remaining Titans.
He smirked and said, "we find Raven's location before Hunter does because we all know that if he finds her first then the only people walking out will be Raven, Lilith and himself, even If he covers himself in blood during the process"
Jaxon nodded then said, "what do we do, your leader now"
Cyborg looked Jaxon directly in the eyes as he said, "I want you to run my new scanning software through everything in the city"
"what does this software do?"
"it sends out pulses in hopes of finding demonic powers, so I want you to note anything… odd"
"define odd?"
"anything that seems like it would be Hunter or Raven, and I would like you to start as soon as possible the software should be on the main computer"
Jaxon nodded and walked over to the main tower computer and started sending out pulse a pulse and noting down different Demonic Power Levels.
Cyborg looked at the Rest of the Team and said "as for the rest of you I would like you to try and get used to the fact that Beastboy was Murdered by one of our most Trusted friends but that doesn't change the fact that Hunter is still our friend now I'm aware that two of you were hit mentally and one of you has come to terms with it" his eye moved to Terra for a moment then he continued "and I would like you to help the other two come to terms with it"
Terra nodded then said, "right Star, Dick follow me we have work to do"
Cyborg sighed and said, "and as for myself I don't even know where to begin?"
Cyborg looked out at the night sky and said, "where are you Hunter, why do you have to be this stubborn?"
