Abominable

"Answer me this; have you seen your servants within the last week?" the boy said in a very serious tone.

"Wha" Raven began only to be cut off. The boy had rushed her, covered her mouth and had wrapped his free arm around her neck pinning Raven to his front.

"Make a move and I'll be force to kill the girl." The boy addressed the tense Teen Titans.

The boy spoke straight into Raven's right ear, "Answer me." "For I know about your other half. I'd hate to have to kill you."

What the other Teen Titans saw and heard was the boy's demand to be answered followed by silence that made Raven's eyes grow wide. The boy did not see this as he was in a position that deprived him of a view of Raven's face.

"And why would it be a shame to kill me?" Raven replied through telepathy. She had noticed her ability to read minds and to speak to people via telepathy a few months ago and she was still trying to grasp complete control over this new power but just like all of her other powers she had it under control for the most part.

"I didn't look for you for over 500 years just to kill you. Besides, it would be a shame to kill such a dark flower such as yourself." The boy replied with the first bit of emotion that Raven had ever heard from him.

Raven turned her head so that she could glare at the boy but stopped stunned at what she saw. Instead of his gray tinted blue eyes Raven was looking at two orbs that burned a bright red just like her own whenever she lost control.

"Answer me." The boy growled in a dangerously low voice. He moved his hand off of Raven's mouth to allow her to answer.

"No." Raven squeaked to her surprise and disgust. Those red eyes were bearing down on her with such force the Raven couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

The boy release Raven and she fell to the ground at his feet. She hadn't realized that he had been supporting her weight though Raven couldn't remember when her knees had given out.

The boy threw back his cloak and Raven turned her head away, shut her eyes and waited for a blow to kill her. She was much too afraid to even think of raising a shield of dark energy to protect herself.

The other Teen Titans were going to protect her even if Raven wasn't going to protect herself. Beast boy became a charging green rhino, Cyborg unleashed a sonic blast from his canon, and Starfire hurled a few green discs at the boy who just kneeled down on one knee and ignored the fire that clearly burned him. Beast boy continued his charge at the stationary boy gaining more speed.

Just before he rammed the boy the boy leapt into the air causing BB to miss his target and charge headlong into a wall. The resulting impact shook the Tower and put Beast boy out for a very long count.

Raven heard the crash and wonder two things; what had made the sound and why wasn't she dead yet? Raven tentatively looked over her shoulder to see the sprawled form of Beast boy in the big hole he had made in the living room wall. Raven also saw the boy kneeling to her.

"Wha… why…?"

"I am called Tir'eir of the Red Hand. I served Trigon, Candra, and I led to Hell's revolt against him. Since he vacated the Blood Throne several powerful Hellspawn have tried to take power. I have safeguarded the throne for a rightful heir to it but there is a problem. You, Raven, are the daughter of the one you call the Devil, the Father of all Lies, but and your brother are in competition for the throne. I have searched for you for over 500 years. Since there are two heirs to the Black Throne Hell is divided. Even the Tanar'ri are divided and we have long been the central stability that held the Underworld together. I have thrown my lot with yours. This rivalry between you and your brother Telir will mean that he will send his forces to kill you. With you out of the way his claim is made absolute and none could oppose him short of a coup. I thought this group you live with, the Teen Titans would be enough to protect you but from a weeks worth of observation it is plain to see that I will have to be your bodyguard. Know that your life is safe with me but warned; I will serve you like I did your father, if I feel you are a threat to the overall good of Hell I will kill you. Is that understood Candra?" The boy, or Tir'eir as he had called himself, finished his long speech that simply left everyone with a different opinion.

Cyborg had his mouth open and was drooling from the sear over load of jabber that had come out of Tir'eir's mouth. Starfire seemed to be taking all of this seriously while Robin for all of his wit and brains still had no idea what was going on. Raven was stunned, simply stunned. After all she knew she was different but it wasn't everyday you find out you have an evil brother the wants to kill you to take over the Throne of Hell which you have a claim to since you're the daughter of Satan. To top it all off the boy was calling her Candra instead of Raven and has plainly stated he would kill her if he felt like it.

"What did you call me?" Raven asked Tir'eir.

"Candra, it means bright star among other things in the demonic tongues." Tir'eir explained as he got up and checked Beast boy's pulse.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Robin yelled getting everyone's attention.

"I just explained. Raven here is the heiress to the Throne of Hell. Her brother wants her dead so he can takeover Hell. I'm here to make sure that he doesn't kill her which will prolong the Civil War in Hell." Tir'eir said in an annoyed voice. "As to your unasked question, if either Raven or the alien girl bedded you Robin, you would have recovered without a hitch. Ancient human magic, something that has clearly been forgotten had proven it so. The powers of the female race are far beyond that of men on any of the planes."

"Who are you?" Starfire asked. "You are saying a lot of things that are unsettling friend Raven."

"I am Tir'eir of the Red Hand. I'm a Tanar'ri, a type of demon that is superior to everything on the known planes. The Red Hand is a group of the five strongest Tanar'ri."

Cyborg's mechanical eye fuzzed over with black and white lines as more and more jabber filled his poor mind.

"So you are saying that you are an evil Devil and that Raven is the daughter of the Source of all Evil?" Robin asked.

"Demon, not Devil. Huge difference and yes Raven is the daughter of Trigon."

"Oh god." The realization of what Tir'eir was saying crushed Raven like a ton of bricks. It would explain her strange powers, her dark personality, her lack of control of her powers. She yielded dark powers charged with the Devil's own blood that ran through her veins making it hard to control her unruly powers. She was Evil on Earth.

A/N: D-I-WaRrIa, I hoped I answered your questions. No one knew that bedding Robin was an option to cure him and Robin and Starfire weren't told that a deal was cut to get the second part of the antidote. Raven was worried because in the last chapter the boy had said he would either kill or protect the black bird. Raven figured out that she was the black bird but she didn't know if the boy would kill her or not.
