Chapter Four: Three minds in one

Titans Tower, 7:15 PM

The Titans were sitting around waiting for something to happen, Raven had stopped reading and was now meditating, probably thinking of a way to get into Midnight's mind, it wouldn't be easy, but as soon as she was in there Midnight wouldn't be able to attack. But it was risky, because having two people in her mind might be too much for her to handle, thats why she had to be quick in trying to find out who was controlling Midnights mind, she could proabably also put a temporary mind block so whoever was couldn't get into Midnights mind for a few days. At that moment the alarm went off, but it wasn't the stress alarm - it was the intrusion alarm. Robin looked at the grid on the screen for a second before realizing where Midnight was just a little too late. The living room door crashed open and off it's hinges and Midnight was standing behind it.

"Titans Go!" said Robin. At this command Midnight charged back at the Titans, before he could do anything Midnight picked him up and threw him across the room. Cyborg Snuck up behind Midnight and grabbed her around the waist and around her neck.

"Raven, now!" ordered Robin, taking action quickly Raven closed her eyes.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos" she said holding her fingers to her temples, She felt a portal open between her and Midnights mind and she entered. She felt another presence there.

"who are you?" Raven demanded. They didn't say anything, but the strings snapped and Raven was suddenly the only one in Midnight's mind, she mentally placed a sheild in her mind and exited. Back out into her own mind, Raven shook her head and opened her eyes to see Midnight falling to the floor unconcious.

"whats wrong with her?!" said Cyborg

"nothing" replied Raven kneeling down beside Midnight "having two minds inside her own was just a little too much to handle, I think she'll be fine"

Kain's Headquarters, 7:45 PM

He clenched his fist as he sat in his chair, he had a pissed look on his face. His teeth were clenched.

"Who was that?!?" he asked thin air. "Someone managed to get into Midnight's mind other than me, and i had to leave, DAMMIT!!!!" he yelled and slammed his fist on the arm of the chair. He calmed down "I'll simply go back in" he told himself "simple as thought" he searched for her mind, he found it and tried opening it, but it wouldn't - it was sheilded.

"DAMMIT!!!" he yelled again

Guard Lounge, Kain's headquarters, 7:50 PM

The guards were on fifteen minute break, they were having a drink and talking to each other.

"wow Charlie, your acting normal tonight" said One guard, to another guard across the table.

"It's his first beer, give him an hour" said another guard. All the others except Charlie laughed.

"GUARDS!!!!!" came a loud voice over the intercom, they all stopped laughing and took a second to recover from the startle.

"Yes, Master Kain?" said one

"Get your asses in here!!!" he demanded the guards headed to Kain's quarters. They arrived and one of them spoke.

"Is something wrong Master Kain?" he said

"Damn right something is wrong, i just lost control of Midnight's mind and i can't get back in, get your asses to Titans Tower and bring her back here, NOW!!!" he shouted

"Y-Yes sir" the guard stammered and they ran out of the room.

Titans Tower

Cyborg lay Midnight down on the couch, The Titans gathered around her. She groaned and then slowly flicked open her eyes. She sat up and observed the Titans gathering around her. She shook her head and tried to remember what happened, but there was too much pressure on her mind at the moment.
"Are you okay?" said Robin

"Yeah, I'm feeling fine" said Midnight rubbing her head, she suddenly realized that she was putting them in danger.

"i have to go" she said quickly "it's not safe with me around-" she started as she swung her legs over the edge of the couch. Raven put her hand out.

"For now it is" she said "i went into your mind and put a sheild there, no one can get in except me for a few days, but thats all you have is a few days, i'm giving you five tops" Midnight stared at Raven, she had gone into her mind while she was attacking them, pushed Kain out and placed a sheild there, and overall she knew that mind was being controlled??

"why, did you do that? I attacked you, i tried to hurt you" asked Midnight

"because" said Raven "The first time we saw you i could sense your mind was being controlled"

"but if you want us to help you we have to know whos controlling you" Robin told her

"You'll help me?" said Midnight

"well we aint gonna just let your mind be controlled" said Cyborg Midnight looked from Titan to Titan, not knowing what to say. They had known she needed help and they acted as quickly as they could. She shook her head and then spoke.

"Kain" she explained "The person controlling me, he's a man who lives in an underground headquarters, he's the one whos been controlling my mind"

"Do you know where his headquarters is?" asked Beast Boy

"No, I've never seen how to get there, the only times i go or leave is when my mind is under his control, and I can't remember anything for awhile after that" she told them "I've tried to escape a few times, but his guards are hard to get past"

"So you have no clue how to get there?" asked Cyborg

"yep, I've never actually seen the way to get there on foot" answered Midnight "All i know is that it's underground, and that's it" She looked down at her hands, they were scarred and dirty, she had a bad headache and she was tired.

"You don't look so good" pointed out Cyborg "You should get some rest before we start looking for this Kain dude"

"Yeah" said Raven "I think we have a spare room you can sleep in for now, and you look like you could use a bath too"

"okay" said Midnight "Thanks, so much"
