As special treat today, I'm letting Raven do the disclaimer!

Raven: Wow I'm just overflowing with gratitude.

Faithinme: Oh come on be a little enthusiastic.

Raven: No. She doesn't own Teen Titans.

This time Thorn found Robin, looking in the evidence room. She silently snuck up behind him until,

"BOO!"

"AHHH!" Robin jumped ten feet in the air and landed looking like Beast Boy when Raven was after him.

"Hahahahaha!" Thorn laughed,"You should see your face!"

Robin took a few breaths to calm his wild heart beat,"Please don't DO that."

"Why not? It's the first funny thing since, um, this morning I guess," Thorn shrugged, "Believe it or not, its about that that I wanted to talk to you about."

"Uh sure. What's up?" Robin said. Now might be his chance to get to know her. Thorn had scarcely come out of her room since she came two weeks ago.

"Well I just wanted to tell you that-"Thorn was interrupted by the alarm.

"Robin," Cyborg's voice came over the speakers,"Its Brother Blood. He's been detected in an old warehouse down town. Aqualad and Bumble Bee have asked us to go in."

"Okay we're on our way," Robin said,"Can this wait until later?"

Thorn nodded,"It'll have to."

"Is this the place Cy?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, this is it."

"Okay here's the plan. We'll take the place fast and hopefully catch him by surprise. BB, Star, and I will go through the front. Raven and Cy will take the back.

Thorn? Can you sneak up and take him by surprise?"

"Duh," she said.

"Good. Titans GO!"

Thorn waited until everyone had gone. Only then did she sneak through the door. A ladder leading to a cat walk stood to her right. She climbed it to get a bird's eye view of the action.

Only there was no action. All five Titans sat, bound and gagged, in specially designed chairs. They all struggled but the restraints were too strong.

"Well, well, well. What have we hear? It's good to see you all again. Unfortunately, I'll be the last thing you'll ever see," Brother Blood gloated.

"Not if I can help it," shouted Thorn as she stood up. She had saw Robin reach for a lock pick in his glove, his glance to her told Thorn that he needed a distraction.

Brother Blood turned, momentarily surprised, but his oily grin soon retuned. "What's this? A rat playing dress up? What have you Titans come to?"

Thorn growled, sounding inhuman. She backed up, and launched herself off the landing at Brother Blood.

He turned and parried her first blow. She attacked again, he moved away, but not fast enough to escape her three-inch heel.

He glared at her. "You'll wish you hadn't done that, urchin." Then he attacked. Thorn could scarcely move out of his way.

'He's much stronger than I am,' Thorn thought, 'but I always could…' Her thoughts were harshly cut off by Brother Blood's fist connecting with her stomach. She landed, wheezing, a few feet away.

She stood on her hands and knees, coughing, knowing Blood was behind her advancing. She was also acutely aware of the unquenchable rage building in her. As he got closer she warned. "Don't take one more step."

Blood laughed,"Why? Has the little hero had too much?" He never saw her eyes turn red. She whirled to face him, screaming like a tortured cat but something else was happening.

Brother Blood watched in horror as her clothes melded into gray skin, her nails grew, and her long coat grew into bats' wings. The transformation complete, Thorn shrank to the floor, her new wings covering her body. Brother Blood inched forward. Thorn's head snapped up and too late he saw the trap. Thorn propelled herself at him, powerful wings slamming him into the wall.

Thorn grabbed his neck and pulled him up. "This is why you don't insult me," she said. Brother Blood saw her eye teeth lengthen.

"V-vampire," he stuttered.

"How perceptive of you," she replied and plunged her fangs into him neck.

Robin, freeing himself, ran and shouted. "Thorn no! Stop!"

Thorn pulled back and gasped. "No, no. Please not again," she moaned. She dropped him and stepped away from him and Robin. She tripped and fell, scooting backwards until she was trapped by the corner. She untransformed and pulled her knees into her chest and rocked back and forth. "Please tell me he's still alive."

Cyborg bent over Brother Blood. "He's out cold but he's still alive."

"Thorn what happened?" Raven asked. The girl shook her head and put her hands to her mouth. When she pulled them away they were covered in blood. "I'm sorry… I…have to go." Then she ran.

"Friend Thorn, wait!" Starfire shouted. But Thorn didn't stop. Beast Boy started to chase her but Robin held him back. "Let her go," he said. "She'll come back."

hahahahahahahahha bet you didn't see that coming! Please review!
