¿Qué es malo? ¿Qué es bien? ¿Por qué?

In an instant Robin was on the bed hugging Starfire's head to his chest and stroking her hair trying to calm her down. Starfire hung onto Robin with equal vigor. Naturally there was no one for Raven but she had regained her composure. Taking a look around her room Raven could see she would be shopping again. Her dresser was busted open, a few articles of clothing scattered around the room, vanity mirror shattered, what little make up she had was a mysterious goo.

Looking around the room Raven's eye catch onto the fact that there were 7 people in the room or by the door. Robin and Star were on the bed with her; Robin muttering soothing words and kissing Star's forehead while Star returned the hug. Beast Boy looking around the room and trying very hard not to laugh. However the smirk he wore betrayed him and earned him a very harsh glare from Raven that promptly wiped the smirk off his green face. Cyborg was staring, jaw swinging and eyes bulging, at one of the strangers.

She stood about 1.6m (5' 4") and in Raven's estimate her slim frame weighed no more then 45kg (100 lbs). Long wavy golden locks of hair went down to the small of the girl's back and her crystal blue eyes only added to Cyborg's gawking. Despite have a light frame and flowing white robes it was clear that the girl had meat in all the right places making her nothing short of an angel on earth.

Pretty soon all the guys were staring at the girl; Robin included until Star brought him crashing back to earth with a well-placed elbow in the solarplex that sent Robin bowling over and off the bed. With that Starfire turned up her nose and promptly walked out, Robin in close pursuit, both totally oblivious to the new comers.

While all of this was going, Robin and Star leaving and the eggheads staring at the girl who had sought refuge behind other stranger, Raven took the time look at the other person. He was well dressed in a black suit, jet-black hair with hints of gray showing, dark brown eyes and bronze hands. He stood at 2m (6' 1") making it quite easy for the girl to hide behind his big frame.

"You must be Master Cyborg." The man said giving the totally brain washed Cyborg a small nod. "You must be Master Beast Boy." BB was in the same state as Cyborg and didn't do anything but stand there like his robotic companion.

"And you are?" Rave asked. Realizing she in her nightclothes Raven had wrapped her blanket around herself.

"You must be the Di'Candra. Master Tir'eir told me to introduce myself as Jacob." Jacob said with a deep bow. After straightening himself Jacob cleared his throat loudly and looked over his shoulder down at the girl behind him. She turned red; obviously embarrassed about something. After taking a moment to compose herself the girl came into view once again. She looked at Raven a moment and cocked her head to the side. "Huh." was all she said.

"What?" Raven said in monotone. She knew she had to keep things under control because of a very simple fact. Her emotions surfacing causes damage to everything and whatever had caused that short month long lull was no longer there. Whatever had allowed her to show emotion without destroying everything in the immediate vicinity had disappeared.

"For being someone so important I somehow expected you to be…" The girl trailed off.

"To be what? Older? Prettier? What?" Raven's reply was all in monotone but in the bathroom the sound of glass cracking could be heard.

Jacob cleared his throat once more and gave the girl a stern look.

"Just different somehow. You're actually prettier then I imagined you but shorter then I expected especially because of you heritage." The girl said thoughtfully.

"Maria!" Jacob said loudly. This seemed to bring the two eggheads out of their trances as they looked disapprovingly at Jacob.

"What? It's true. His human disguise was over 2 meters (6 feet) according to father and she looks to be my height!" Maria said defending herself.

Jacob rolled his eyes in defeat. "Very well Maria. You will clean this room while you and Di'Candra get acquainted. I will fetch you for breakfast. Gentlemen." Jacob said looking first at Maria who pouted at being forced to do work and then at BB and Cyborg who walked out of the room under the gaze of Jacob who closed the door after himself.

"Star wait!" Robin yelled as he chased Starfire down the halls of the Teen Tower. Star had started out walking but now she was flying to try and get away from Robin who was running flat out just to keep in sight of her. Robin finally managed to catch Starfire's hand in a desperate lunge that sent the two teens crashing to the floor. When the dust settled Robin found himself lying on top of Starfire.

"Star, are you ok?" Robin asked.

Star responded by trying to throw Robin off of herself but Robin pinned her down with his weight.

Starfire looked directly into Robin's eyes before replying. She replied without even bothering to hide the hurt and venom in her voice. "You like her don't you?"

'Why are girls like this?' Robin asked himself. "I swear I'ven't seen her before. How can I like her?"

"I was there too. I saw you gawking like Cyborg and Beast Boy. You like because she has longer hair then me. Because she has bigger breasts then I do. Because she's prettier then I am. Don't deny it Robin!" Starfired yelled at Robin.

Robin sat up and tore off his facemask before bringing his face so close to Star's their noses were touching. "Who ever said she had longer hair, bigger breasts or that she was prettier then you are? Star…You are the most beautiful girl I know and I really li… No, I love you Starfire. I told you only you and I meant it." Robin watched Starfire's eyes for a reaction but he was caught off guard when Starfire suddenly smashed her lips against his in a fierce kiss. The Boy Wonder was so taken by surprise it took him a moment to realize that Starfire had flipped them around so that she was on top of him. Starfire broke the kiss only long enough for the two to catch their breaths and to mutter, "I love you too."

"So you are Maria?" Raven asked the girl.

"Yeah. According to Jacob father wants me to teach you to control Dark Energy." Maria said as if it would be a boring task. That got on Raven's nerves. Tear had the gall to get her an instructor, something she was both happy and angry to have, and Maria made it sound as if the task of teaching her was beneath her.

"Hey, I have it under control." Raven said as something broke in her bathroom.

"No you don't. But there's a problem." Maria pointed out.

"What's the problem?" Raven asked raising an inquisitive eyebrow.

"This." Immediately things began to repair themselves, bathed in a white glow, and in no time the room looked as if nothing had happened. "I think you can see that I have control of White Energy, which is naturally the opposite of Dark Energy, and my control of Dark Energy isn't that great either." Maria explained as she sat down on the bed next to Raven.

"I see." Was Raven's reply. Not really thinking Raven shed the blanket she had around herself so that she could bring her hands up in order to rest her chin in her palms.

While this was going on Maria remained silent and just studied Raven. Raven was exactly as Father had said she was like but he had said understatements in just about everything he had told her.

After several minutes of silence Raven noticed that Maria was staring at her. "What?"

"Nothing except you're everything father said you were, only more. I could see why he takes a liking to you but let me warn you now." Maria started out nice but now she was all dead serious and wagging a finger at Raven. "I never knew my mother but she must have been a very strong woman in order to hold on to father. I hope you can live up to that standard because Princess or not, if you hurt him I will hunt you down and hurt YOU. He's been through enough pain already and I don't want him to suffer any more then can be helped. Understand me?" Maria said staring Raven down.

"Believe me. It won't be an issue. He doesn't like me and I don't like him. Besides even if I did it could never happen because of my powers." Raven replied staring directly back at Maria.

"It's not a power or something grand and special. Everyone one in the Hells can wield Dark Energy. You just don't have control of it. And why wouldn't you like father anyway? What do you have against him?" Maria asked acting superior in everyway she could.

"He's silent, brooding, moody, a killer, a rapist, and a cold hearted bastard." Raven said laying her case out rather proudly.

"According to father you are exactly all of those minus the killer and rapist parts. I can see why he likes you though. You're feisty and stubborn just like he is." This time Maria's voice went from hard to soft and she even ended with a smile. "You are young though." She added thoughtfully at the end.

"Hey, I'm 16 thank you very much. Just how are you?" Raven retorted.

"I'll be 500 in a few weeks." Maria answered off handedly.

Raven actually let her jaw slacken as she stared at Maria in disbelief. A rat-tat-tat at the door let Maria and Raven know that is was time for breakfast.

"Come on now it's not that old. Father is going on 5017 this year." Maria said as she got up. "I like your nightgown." Maria said off subject. After another pause and glance up and down Raven, Maria made one last comment, "I can see why he likes you." before leaving Raven to her thoughts.

'Was Maria hinting that Tear likes me? No she blatantly said that he likes me. But why would he like me? I'm short, stubborn, have purple eyes and hair and am lacking in defined feminine features. I can't show emotion because I don't have control of my powers and. Wait, since when was I ever so worried about all of this?' Raven thought to herself. A voice in the back of her head answered her, "Because you like him…"

The breakfast table was different with Maria there. There was suddenly someone for Raven to talk to and Maria had a lot of the answers she wanted. The eggheads were noisy as usual though Raven did notice both boys stealing glances at Maria from time to time. Robin and Star were late to breakfast but the hickey on Star's neck, along with Robin's hair that was somehow messier, explained it all and life went on.

"So you are telling me Jacob just whisked you off in the middle of the night and you came here?" Raven asked finding Maria's story a little hard to believe. Apparently Maria had gone to bed three nights ago only to be awakened and herded into a Gate, a gateway that connected the Hells to the surface world.

"Just as surely as those two can eat everything Jacob is making." Maria said pointing to the two boys as they steadily out ate the other four at the table. "How do they eat so much and not get fat?"

"Strict work out program and we're mostly busy fighting bad guys, catching robbers and sending criminals to jail. It keeps them in shape." Raven explained.

"Why not kill them?" Maria said as she took a bite of her pancake.

All conversation at the table stopped dead and everyone looked at her in horror at what she had suggested.

"What? You are telling me no one has even thought of doing that before?" Maria asked the group shocked that they were all appalled at the suggestion of bloodshed. Only Jacob continued making pancakes as if nothing was happening.

"You can't be serious. Killing a criminal would make us no better then they are!" Robin yelled at Maria who just took another bite of her pancake and chewed thoughtfully.

"Don't they just get out and cause more trouble if you put them in jail?" Maria asked.

"And we catch them again. That's our job." Starfire cut in after placing her hand on Robin's arm to calm him down.

"I get it." Maria said with a knowing smile. Everyone could see that she was truly Tear's daughter because of the irritating smile. "You're all afraid."

"Hey! We've protected this city from super villains and fought…" Cyborg snapped his fingers trying to think of a name. "Help me out guys. Those big red guys…"

"Baalors." Raven offered totally unimpressed with Cyborg's memory. You would think that a giant gigabyte hard drive would have been installed in him or something.

"Baalors?" Maria asked her head cocked to the side as she gave Cyborg a curious look. Her big blue eyes immediately took all the tension out of the air and Cybrog relaxed, as did everyone else at the table.

"Powerful Demon, Maria. You should know that with all the demonic tomes you read." Jacob said in a neutral tone common of all butlers. Maria glared at him, her ploy to play innocent ruined.

"I know. Class B Type XIX subcategory Y. Impressive but not very if you know how to kill them." Maria said showing off her knowledge of unholy creatures.

Having Maria looking down on the Titans was all Robin could stand. He jumped up, pushing his chair back in the process, and slammed both hands on the table. Before he could say anything Maria spoke first. "If you killed all the criminals you would end crime for good, but you don't want to do that because then you would be out of jobs and people would forget you. No one likes to be forgotten."

The bluntness and truth in Maria's statement left Robin's jaw flapping open and shut without anything coming out of it. It was Star that came to Robin's rescue. "But if we just killed them then it would make us no better then they are." Robin allowed himself a smile for Starfire. She was really coming out of shell ever since she had been with him.

"No it just proves you're all gutless. Survival of the fittest is a rule of nature on all the planes. You let the weak live and soon the many weak can overwhelm the few strong." Maria replied rather philosophically.

"Enough Maria. Your father doesn't want you debating good and evil with our hosts. You are to teach Di'Candra how to master or at least control Dark Energy on top of your other duties and studies." Jacob said stopping the argument. "Besides there are also the matters of your birthday this year among other things to be done."

Maria rolled her eyes and groaned. It was evident that she didn't like having to do all the things that Jacob had just dictated. "Aww come on Jacob. I only have two weeks to my birthday. Can't I have a break?" Maria said battering her big blue eyes at Jacob. Clearly she had tried this many a time prior to this and the two were on very friendly terms because all she got was a spoonful of pancake mix in the face. This won instant laughter all around and even Raven smiled at the cost of a glass's existence.

"You just wait until father gets back." Maria started.

"And he'll tell me that I should have used the entire bowl." Jacob finished. "Now get cleaned up and start you lessons with Di'Candra. Two hours."

"Come along princess." Maria said cleaning her face with a single wipe of her face and flash of white.

"I have a name and it's Raven." Raven told Maria. She didn't want more people calling her something she didn't even know the meaning of.

"Fine then, come along Di'Candra or Princess Morning Star or Princess Raven whichever you prefer." Maria said with a deep curtsy.

"Just Raven."

"Fine."

"Just how do you know how to help Raven and all that stuff about Demons?" Cyborg called after the two girls as they left the kitchen.

"Maria turned around and walked backwards. "Hey, when you're going on 500 you're expected to know some things!"

Everyone in the room just stared at the hallway the girls had disappeared down. After a few moments Robin sat down and since he had pushed his chair back earlier he went crashing to the floor and was soon being tended to by a worried Starfire.

"She's pulling our legs, right?" Cyborg asked Jacob.

"Master Tir'eir is going on 5017, I'm going to be 3035 and I can assure you that Maria is going to be 500. I've attended all the previous 499 birthdays." Jacob told the Titans.

Beast Boy fell out of his chair having fainted. He had been in the middle of taking a bite and even in his fainted state he clutched onto his fork in death grip. Even unconscious Beast Boy was very protective of his food.

"So you're like the family butler?" Cyborg asked Jacob. With Beast Boy no longer with them and Robin and Starfire had disappeared someplace leaving really just Cyborg to interrogate the new visitor.

"That would be a kind way of putting it." Jacob said but offered no further explanation. "If you'll excuse me Master Cybrog."

"Cyborg is fine. I'm pretty sure the other guys would like you just calling us by name without the titles."

"Very well, I have things to attend to."

A/N: Another 6 pages done. I seem to be only getting 8 reviews per chapter, so sad. Oh well, at least I get the reviews. You guys are lucky I don't believe in demanding a certain amount of reviews before I update. I was looking over my profile and looking over the following I've developed and I believe it is safe to say the Benevolent Evil has racked up more people then My Recess Fic; Love Heals All Wounds. Looking at the new comers I've noticed that some of you say you are devoted fans of TT which is all good and fine but a chunk of you also are Harry Potter fans; either in combination or just HP fans only. I'm just curious as to why you're reading something so far off from Rowlings works? Anyway tell me what you guys think of Maria and Jacob. RR! Title for this chapter is "What is evil? What is good? Why?" Anyone care to answer those? Come on, I dare you…

The Next Political Dynasty: Haven't seen you in a while. How are things? You talked with Vicki lately? Thanks for the review.

LNM: You're right this could be a while and I have no definite number of chapters that I will write. It will flow as it always has with me and we will both have to wait and see.

BlackShield: Indeed you are faithful to many a fancy or fair fic. I'll keep my word about Tear and Raven and must say I think you and everyone else missed the entire point of my last chapter. Necesitas leer capitulo 16 de nuevo. (You need to reread the chapter!) Learning español, huh? Good language to learn and it is the easiest of the Romance Languages.

RedMarch: I've been there before. You get sucked into this really great fic and then all of the sudden the next chapter button is no longer there. That really sucks but I've updated so there's one more button to push! And yes Raven and Tear fluff will be coming up, if anyone out there can imagine Tear AND Raven being all warm and fuzzy to each other, though it's a bit off. I've a few things that have to happen but it's coming.

LockDown over and out…

Hey I just got Review #75! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!! And yes Voltor I'm writing a bloody novel! But hey you're reading it so it must be worth my time to read it.
