"It was Raven." Beast Boy muttered, surveying the broken scene. He
blinked, his brow knitted together in worry. He had been the first Titan to
admit it, but they all knew it was Raven.
"You owe me five bucks." Cyborg said, smiling only slightly as he turned to Robin. Starfire snorted, she had not approved of the bet.
The construction scene had gone from the half built buildings to strange and rather disturbing curls of metal. They had seemingly wrenched and twisted, bending over on themselves. The metal support beams were curled like putty, looking like demonic ghosts curling from the ground. The skeletal beginnings of a few tall building had gone from blocks of a plot to twisted and sinister shapes, strange beasts of metal each fighting each other.
"Looks like modern art." Beast Boy declared, looking over at a strange metal beast which looked rather like a bird. Well it might have looked like a bird if birds had horns.
"Do you hear that friends?" Starfire asked, cocking an ear to a pile of concrete rubble nearby," Human voices."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It should have felt great, but it really didn't.
For it was Raven who had demented the construction sight as Slade stood by, watching triumphantly. She had let loose everything that had ailed her over the past few days, enjoying the sight of her own powers curling the metal into the very thoughts that plagued her mind. She had given a life to those nightmares in her head, turning them into creatures with shape of their own. She remembered the screams of the construction men as the metal that they thought they had control over them turned upon them.
She shook her head, trying to throw off the images. How had Slade put it, "...a creative way for ridding yourself of your anger. It is good for what ails you." She had felt good about it then, but now she wasn't so sure. She had thought that taking her anger out on the city would help her heart, taking up the Titans time and making life harder for them.
She sat in the dark room that Slade had allowed her to stay in. She should have liked that dark, but it only made her feel uneasy. At the moment, everything made her feel uneasy.
The door slid open with and ominous 'shick.' She grunted. She really hated that noise. The Titan's Tower never had noisy doors.
"Think nothing about them." An inner voice commanded. She had heard that voice before, but it was not a voice of reason. Usually it lead her down a wrong turn.
Slade stepped in through the door. She could tell he was pleased; the one eye she could see was glinting with an expected pleasure.
"See Raven, your powers were meant to do such things. You killed those construction men without a second thought. Does it not make you feel better?" Slade said in his soft icy voice.
'That's what you think.' Raven thought to herself. When Slade had been roaming amongst the tortured creatures of her mind Raven had buried those men, but not completely. She had bent over a few beams as a support, and then carefully piled the concrete chunks over it. She had even left air holes. She could not bring herself to Slade's bidding. Besides, she knew her former teammates would get them out.
"Sure." was Raven's only reply. She did not look at Slade, ignoring him all but when she answered him.
Slade narrowed his one cold eye at her. He was still a little angry at her. She had refused to take of her Titan's costume. Raven didn't feel like flying around covered in 'S's. No one made Raven a flying logo.
"But enough talk; let us discuss our next move." Slade began. Raven's eyes widened as he outlined his plans. She couldn't do that, they were still her friends, right?

A/N: Thanx you guys. I got a lot of good reviews. Thanx for being so supportive you guys. Sorry for the cliff hanger. I really have to go. Hope you like it.
