Herald excused himself from the fight to take out Raven's mirror. From it exited Jinx carrying a crying Beast Boy with blood dripped out of his mouth, followed by Donna Troy carrying the corpse of Scarecrow.
"What the hell happened?" he asked.
"We had to kill him to save Raven," Donna explained.
"This is all my fault," confessed Jinx. "I really am bad luck."
"No, you're not. But Beast Boy needs serious help."
"Well, we're kind of busy with a big fight right now," remarked Herald.
As the Honorary Titans continued to fight Intergang, Kid Flash managed to swipe Control Freak's remote and crush it. At that instant, all the other Intergang members except Gizmo stopped in their tracks and got knocked to the ground by a Titan, only to immediately put their hands in surrender and ask what was going on.
"That bastard tricked and took over our minds!" explained Red X. "And that red glowy bitch, she... she..."
Red X tore off his mask and fell to the ground crying. Aqualad rushed over to comfort him.
"Wow, you just keep digging yourself lower!" scoffed Speedy at Control Freak.
"Hey, I'm only doing this because I respect!" explained Control Freak.
"What? How?"
"By leading them to horrible, grisly deaths that are so common that they become numb to them, and ultimately numb to all morality!"
"OK, that makes no sense whatsoever."
"But it makes perfect sense when you use it to sell anti-bullying PSAs!"
"WHAT?" shouted Speedy after a brief pause.
"That's what I said!" said Mammoth.
"Oh wait, I see what's going on," continued Control Freak. "You just don't like me because I'm silly and wacky and not the villain you grew up with!"
"NO! We hate you because you're a selfish, sadistic, amoral, manipulative, uncaring, unheroic, immature bully! George and Marv, that is not a difficult concept to grasp!"
Speedy now got up into Control Freak's face to continue his rant.
"And by the way, you're a hack! You have no concept of originality, you put no effort into anything you do, and your only talent is ass-kissing things you liked before your balls dropped! Good god, you're an asshat! The only meaningful thing you could ever do is be a spokeman for the encouragement of oral sex, because you are the cum that your mother should have swallowed!"
Control Freak responded by running into his room, crying to his mommy about how still nobody loved him.

Maintaining his bubble of mental energy, Psimon was a bit disturbed to see Raven rising up, turned away from him but wearing a dark green cloak, stretching out her arm, which was now bare save for dark green flat rope twisting around it and her fingerless gloves now given the same dark green color, towards him.
"Psimon," Raven spoke. "Receive your judgment."
A blast of black lightning burst from Raven's finger and reduced Psimon to an ice sculpture that quickly started melting.
The remaining fight against Gizmo can to an end as a massive cloud of green smoke suddenly appeared in the warehouse, and from it Raven floated straight into Control Freak's room.
The mastermind wannabe was still in tears, sucking the tits of a blow-up doll he was clutching and had labelled "Mommy".
"And then they said that I wasn't funny, and they want friends to act like friends and heroes to be heroic!" he whined between sucks. "Those nostalgia-blind dummy heads! I'm a really talented guy who worked really hard on this, and the kids love me!"
"So, you're the one responsible for making my friends suffer."
"Yeah, it's me! Control Freak! Now, do I finally get to be on your villain list?"
"Of course. In fact, you can even be the list!"
Raven zapped Control Freak, turning him into a piece of paper with the list of all the Titans' adversaries on it, with his name on the top. Raven grabbed the list, exited the room, and slowly started tearing it from top to bottom. Beast Boy, having heard her voice, was revived from his crying state and rushed to see, but was deeply troubled by what was going on.
"Raven, what are you doing?"
"Well, I've just turned Control Freak into that list he wanted to be on. It might not look like it, but he's still sentient – he can see and hear, and feel. Chipping a piece away from him would feel like scraping a piece of flesh of a human. So, what I'm doing right now would be as painful as feeling your body being torn in half. His body has changed, but his soul is there, and I've never heard such agony before. It's quite heavenly."
As Raven continued to tear the list apart she began to laugh like a maniac, and turned around to show her new outfit – a dark green belly dancer attire with bands of dark green flat rope. Beast Boy was not turned on by this, as he was far too disturbed by her sadistic laugh.
"Raven? What's happened to you?"
"Oh, Garfield, I'm not Raven anymore," she answered, looking at him with green eyes and the smile he had long wanted to see. "I am the Wrath of God! I am Vengeance! I am … the Spectre!"
Everyone stared up in shock. They had all long heard of the old murderous 'hero', but never had imagined that he would come back, much less take up Raven as his new host.
"And I am loving this female body!" she bragged while rubbing herself. "But it's got an annoying virginity problem. Oh well, I'm sure I'll have the time to fix that!"
"Raven, fight him! Get him out of you!" desperately shouted Beast Boy.
"Oh, shut it! If you wanted to be inside me, you should've at least made a move! And who knows, it might've been the one thing you're actually good at!"
Raven enveloped herself in her cloak and flew off, appearing right beside the two Lantern siblings as they were destroying their fifth block of warehouses. They both stared back in awe, while Raven smiled while keeping her eyes closed.
