Chapter Seven: Back To Kain
Four days had passed since Raven put the sheild up, it was gonna fade out soon. Midnight, and everyone else was tense.
"How you feeling Midnight?" asked Raven
"Fine" she said. All this time wasted, they hadn't gotten any leads on where Kain was. And they knew he was planning something if the guard went back. But what? Midnight paced around the downstairs lounge while everyone else was sitting down. Her head was aching she didn't know if it was because of the stress or if the sheild was being broken through. "damn him" she whispered.
"Are you okay?" asked Raven, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire at the same time.
"I'm fine" she whispered.
Another hour or so passed, then eventually it was sunset, and nothing had happened yet. Midnight was sitting down on the steps, Starfire was pacing around, it was actually quiet enough for Raven to Meditate, so she was hovering over a coffee table. Beast Boy was sleeping in one of the chairs. None of the Titans nor Midnight had slept a lot lately. Cyborg was fumbling with his systems again. Robin was sitting in a chair tapping his fingers on a coffee table. Midnight stood up and walked around. She stopped in front of a coffee table and looked up at the window and looked out at the pink sky. She suddenly gasped, a searing pain ran through her head, she put her hands on the coffee table and panted, sweat ran down her face. "No" she whispered "No"
"Midnight!" said Robin running over to her. Raven followed along with the rest of the Titans. She and put put their hands on either of Midnight's shoulders.
"Midnight, don't let him in" said Robin
"I can't stop him!" she breathed as her hands curled into fists. She breathed harder. She suddenly stopped, and she closed her eyes and stood up, then reopened them. The Titans all took one step backwards, except Beast Boy, who took two.
"Midnight?" said Raven "Are you...." but she trailed off, she could sense that her mind was being controlled once again. Midnight shot her hand forward toward Raven who jumped back and grabbed her wrist, Midnight kicked her.
"Titans, Go!" commanded Robin as the Titans charged forward towards Midnight. Who dodged all their attacks. She landed in front of Raven and jerked her hand forward once again, Raven dodged again, Midnight tried yet again, Raven still dodged it, Then, Midnight used her other hand and Raven dodged it the other way only to find Midnights other hand come flying at her, she hit her right below her right rib cage. Raven gasped as Midnight pulled her hand back which was covered in blood.
"Raven!" yelled Beast Boy. Raven fell to the ground. Cyborg caught her. "Raven, wake up!" he said. He held one arm above her head and a little screen with a bunch of lines on it came up. "She's alive, but we need to get that wound patched up quickly!" Everyone was too busy over Raven to see that Midnight had already left the tower.
Kain's Headquarters
Kain was snickering as he looked at the door expecting Midnight to come through it soon. "yes" he said "Now with her out of the way she can't put any mind blocks anymore, I would have preferred her dead right off, but either way, she'll die from that wound anyways" At that moment Midnight walked in the room.
"Very good Midnight" said Kain to the mind controlled girl. "Now that your back in the safety of my Headquarters, i think it's safe to let you off mind control now" He waved his hand and she looked around the room vigourously. She caught sight of Kain and her eyes widened. "Kain..." she said with fear in her voice "No!" she said
"yes" he said "beleive it or not, your back here, did you think your little vacation with the Titans would last forever? Mind sheilds never stay up long you see, because new knowledge enters the brain every day even the tiniest bit, and as that happened it begins to overlap the mind sheild, reopening the door into your mind"
"Kain, you bastard" said Midnight dropping onto her knees as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Dammit!"
"And no more mind sheilds are going to be put up" finished Kain
"You just wait and see, Raven will put another one up, and I will kill you!!" screamed Midnight
"Oh no" smiled Kain "You see, Raven is no longer a problem anymore"
"What do you mean?" said Midnight picking up her head to look at Kain, it was around about that time she noticed the blood all over her right hand, she gasped and looked back up at Kain then back down to her hand again. "no..." she said "No you didn't"
"Yes, I did" said Kain
"Kain, you've gone too far this time!" screamed Midnight
Kain waved his hand at Midnight "Go to your quarters, now" he said She didn't get up, she didn't go to her quarters, she just stayed on her knees while tears streamed down her face.
"Go, now!!!" shouted Kain, Midnight got up and left the room. Tears still streaming down her face.
Titans Tower, Med Room, three hours later
"I've got her stabalized and stitched up, she should be fine" said Cyborg leaning over Raven's sleeping body. "Boy is Kain really gonna get it now, first the tower, now Raven, we need to find him before he does anything else"
"Thats gonna be hard without Raven" pointed out Beast Boy "Might even be impossible!!!"
"I don't care" said Robin "Kain attacked our home, and our teammate, he's asking for it"
Kain's Headquarters
Midnight was in her room, each room had it's own bathroom so she was leaning over the sink her right arm up to her elbow soaked, her hair was in her face, and her left arm was laying across the front edge of the sink, while her right arm was laying across the right edge of the sink. She stared into the mirror, she wanted to punch it like she did her last one, but she decided not to, because she'd hurt herself, but at least it'd be her own blood on her hands instead of someone elses.
