Chapter 2: Welcome to Pain
Raven stood there wide eyed. Her anxiety had been true. Whatever this....thing was, it was looking for her. But she never imagined this would be it. Well, he looks like one of father's minions. Maybe i was right after all she thought to herself. The creature, Kardol, began doing some streches of some sort. "God, a landing like that can really give ya some pains." he said almost jokingly. However, none of the Titans were laughing, even Beast Boy. Cyborg made his arm into his sonic blaster and aimed it at Kardol. "Just what the hell are you? Some kind of freak show?" he asked. Kardol simply smiled. "Let me ask you the same question, metal-man." he said in a really annoying tone. Cyborg gave him a dark look. Raven saw this as a good time to speak up. "Just what do you want with me?" she asked, eager to hear an answer. "All in good time, Raven. All in good time..."
"How about you make that time now." Robin said. "You got buisness with one of us, you got buisness with all of us." Cy, BB and Starfire all noded in agreement. Raven seemed a little concerned. "Robin, please.." she said softly. "I dont need to talk to you, boy." Kardol said while cracking his knuckles. "How about you talk to this then?" Cyborg said with a grin. He fired his blaster at Kardol, causing a large blast on impact. The Titans held up thier hands to shield themselves. "Booyah." Cyborg exclaimed. His sense of victory was killed quickly, however, cause when the smoke cleared Kardol remained standing there, not a scratch on him. In fact, he hadn't moved a inch like nothing had happend. The Titans looked on in amazement. "No way." Robin said, mouth agape. Cyborg put his blaster away and charged head on at a smileing Kardol.
Cy swung a punch at the creature, but Kardol easily doged. Cy tried again but hit nothing but air. After several tries, Kardol was laughing. "You've got to be faster than that." he said, toying with him. Cy had enough. He swung his fist as hard as he could, and this time he finally hit the giant. Unfourtanetly, it was the palm of his hand. Kardol squeezed Cy's fist, causing him imense pain. But Cy wasnt about to throw in the towel. He swung his other fist, and again, was caught by Kardol's awaiting palm. The two were deadlocked in a battle of strength, face to face. Cy grined. "That the best you got, lizard man?" Kardol grined even wider. "Not even close." With a sickening snap, Kardol broke both of Cyborg's wrists, exposing wires and casuing sparks to fly everywhere. Cy fell to his knees, screaming in anguish.
"Cyborg!" Starfire screamed as her eyes glowed green. She fired a huge starbolt at Kardol, catching him off guard and sending him flying across the room. Beast Boy and Robin ran upto Cy. "You ok?" BB asked. "Seen better days." Cy joked as he was helped up by his two friends. Raven couldnt belive what had happend. She looked at where Kardol landed, and was horified to learn he was gone. She looked around in a panic, trying to find him. Starfire, who was distracted by Cyborg, hadn't realized the Kardol had quickly snuck behind her. But Raven had. "STAR, BEHIND YOU!" she screamed. Starfire turned around just in time for her face to greet Kardol's fist. She was sent flying across the room, hiting her head and knocking her unconcious. Robin saw her and turned to Kardol. "You'll pay for that!" he said, throwing some disks at the giant. They exploded into tear gas, causing Kardol to go out of sight. Both Robin and BB, who had transformed into a panther, charged at the cloud of smoke. However, both of them flew right through it without hitting anything at all. Both of them looked at each other before looking up at the cieling. There Kardol sat there, hanging upside down from his talons. He looked at the boys with a smirk. BB leaped up at him, transforming into a falcon in mid air. Oddly, Kardol didnt do anything to defend himself. He just sat there, as if waiting for BB to hurt him. BB did, slashing the creature with his talons as he passed. Robin rasied an eyebrow at Kardol, perplexed on his behavior. Beast Boy circled around for another strike. Robin noticed a strange glow coming from........Kardol's mouth? Robin's eyes grew wide. "Beast Boy, dont!" Too late. A flash of light flew from the creature mouth and stuck BB head on, causing a intense blast. BB fell to the floor in human form, looking like a burnt marshmellow. Raven flew over to him, praying he wasnt dead. Robin looked at BB in horror, only to turn around when a loud thud was heard behind him. Kardol towered over the teen, a sirious look in his eyes. Robin swung his bo staff, aiming for the beast's ribs. It hit, but the staff was the only thing that broke. Robin looked at his snaped staff then at Kardol. He didnt have time to avoid the creature's grasp, and was picked up and thrown across the room, landing near Starfire. Raven looked around. She was the only one left. She looked at Kardol and gave him a dark look. "If you want me, come and get me!" she said as her eyes glowed white. Kardol tilted his head at her. "No, thats enough for now." he said as he walked to the sofa and sat down.
Raven looked confused, but still was ready for anything. "Your...not going to attack me?" Kardol laughed. "Did i ever say i wanted to attack any of you?" Raven rasied an eyebrow. "But...you...." Kardol leaned back in the sofa. "Listen, i dont strike unless struck first. Thats my rule. Your friends attacked me first. I had every right to fight back." Raven's eyes went back to normal. "Who are you?" she asked. "Your not here to kill me." Kardol regained a sirious look. "No, in fact, im here to protect you." Raven tilted her head at him. "From what?" Kardol looked her right in the eyes. "From our father."
Raven's eyes widened as far as they could possibly go. "Wait....what........you?"
Kardol never took his eyes away. "Raven, im your brother."
