Here's a new chapter full of angst for ya! Enjoy…well…You can't really enjoy Angst now can you? Heh heh.

Sorry it took so long to update! I was in a writing struggle there…But I got a hold of it now though! Heh heh.

I don't own Teen Titans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The battle with Raven's Hatred seemed to last an eternity. They gave all they had but it wasn't working.

"What could've made Raven so…well….mad??" Beast Boy pondered between attacks.

Finally Hatred said, "This is useless. Why am I wasting my time on these foolish mortals?? I must get back to Tamaran immediately. Raven's Mother is waiting for me."

Then the possessed girl flew off.

All of the Titans were exhausted. They all were panting and close to collapsing as they made their way, silently, into the kitchen. Absent mindedly, Beast Boy started making breakfast since they hadn't eaten anything yet. He needed to do something with his hands, so he what's left of his brain wouldn't melt from exhaustion. While BB was doing this, the others sat down at the table. Cyborg didn't even start complaining about BB's tofu, he was so tired. Starfire just stared blankly into space and broke the silence.

"Our friend is living through her worst nightmare," she said solemnly.

"What do you mean?" Robin asked.

"Raven once told me that her greatest fear is that her Hatred would take over…and it did."

"I never realized it before. I guess she hides under her sarcasm. Tell me Star, did Raven mention anything about her past to you? Something that would make her Hatred take over?"

"She has issues with her father," BB blurted out without even looking at anyone.

"I remember that. She said that when we accidentally went into her mind," Cyborg added.

"Yes, she has mentioned that…But there's more to it than that…but I shouldn't tell you. I promised her," Starfire said.

"I don't think she'll mind now, considering our lives are in danger, and hers too," Robin said, putting a hand on Star's shoulder.

"Well…Do you remember when the possessed Raven mentioned Raven's mother?"

"Yeah. What about her?"

"Raven's Father, Trigon, He's an interdementional demon. Some people say he's the son of the Devil.…well...He raped Raven's mother. That's how Raven was born. Raven is half demon."

Cyborg then immediately started to think of Raven and what was left of her mind…She must be a wreck now…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Raven was wandering the remnants of her mind. Everything was gray and looked burned. In the distance, there was a red glowing area.

How could I let this happen?? I've always beaten my Hatred! Why was this time any different? Was it because I was tired? It did happen in the middle of the night…Have I meditated enough? What's wrong with me?

Suddenly a voice from behind said…

"Stop blaming yourself."

"Who's there??" Raven yelled frantically.

"It's me," said the figure as Raven whipped around to see who it was. It was Cyborg.

"C-Cy-Cyborg?? What are doing here? How'd you get into my mind??"

"Don't worry about that now, I wanna help."

"How can you help me?? I lost! End. Of. Story."

"It's not the end. It's never the end. There's an old saying, 'When you fall down seven times, you get up eight.'"

"How? I have no control over my mind anymore and-"

"You envisioned me, didn't you?"

"Well, I-"

"You still have some control, use it to your advantage?"

"How am I going to do that?? I can't use my powers…"

"I don't think so. Shoot at me."

"What??"

"Don't think about it, just shoot at me as you normally would."

"Are you sure-"

"Yes. Do it."

The Raven shot one of her black orbs of energy at Cyborg. Luckily, he moved out of the way in time.

"I did it!"

"I knew you would, Rae."

"Thank you Cyborg!" Raven said as she was about to hug him, but he stepped away.

"Don't thank me yet. The battle isn't over. You're headed for Tamaran…Hatred said something about paying your mother a visit."

Then a look of horror came across Raven's face.

"Oh no," She said softly as she started running towards the glowing area. The dark girl turned back to thank her friend one more time, but he was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

End of Chapter two.

I HAD to throw in some CyRae in here! I like to think that Raven envisions Cyborg in her mind when she's down. (She does like him, ya know. Heh heh.)

Stay tuned for the next chapter of "Fallen."
