Of Both Worlds

Chapter 5- Frost

A/N- Nyx has been a titan for a month now….ok enjoy!

"Beast boy, for the LAST time I do not want tofu!" Beast boy whined as he tried to get Nyx to eat his newest creation.

"Please? Pretty please?" he pouted and tried to stick the food at her as she sat reading in the main room.

"I SAID NO!" her eyes narrowed and turned a dark black, she raised her hand; lightning wrapped around BB. He actually looked scared. She snapped out of the trance and dropped him.

"Sorry Beast boy; didn't mean to do that"

"Geez you're like another Raven!"

"Is that a bad thing?" Raven appeared in the living room.

"Well, no but that's like twice as many mood swings!" Nyx and Raven glared.

"What about me?" Star, who was across the room, pouted.

"We don't need another you, Star" Cyborg said laughing while repairing something.

"We don't really need another Raven either" Beast boy added in a muffled voice. Nyx looked down. The alarm went off.

"Titans go!" Robin yelled as Nyx forgot about BB's comment.

"Who is it now?" Nyx asked as she and Raven flew

"Slade. Again." Raven said annoyed

"Does he ever quit?"

"Nope; that would make our job way too easy" Nyx laughed as they glided down to an old warehouse. There stood Slade, causing havoc. The titans attacked and it was Nyx's first encounter with Slade. Raven attacked him first and flew over to where Nyx was.

"My turn" Nyx said running at him

"No Ny…" Raven couldn't stop her as she flew off before she could finish. Nyx threw a ball of lightning at him, but he only deflected it. She tried over and over again becoming extremely annoyed.

"You can't beat me dear"

"Yeah well try this" She slammed her fists to the ground and multiple strikes of lightning formed around her. They turned into a dragon.

"Banorum et Malorum!" she yelled as the dragon charged at Slade. The other titans stopped what they were doing. Slade was taken aback.

"Well that is some power you have; why are with them?" he walked towards her and put his gloved hand on her cheek; she flinched. "I could help you"

She looked at him dazed. He continued:

"They know nothing of your power; let me help you" Raven watched in horror.

"NO!" She screamed throwing a black energy ball at him. He stumbled back.

I could help you; you could be a god. The voice invaded Nyx's mind. I could make you a queen; you are nothing with them. Are you sure they are really your friends? I seem to remember a certain comment: "We don't really need another Raven either" Nyx looked down at her feet. The other titans tried to help.

"She doesn't want to join you; she's with us" the voice continued to speak in Nyx's mind.

Stay with them and you will be alone; and unloved. Nyx flinched and Slade grinned.

Ah so that is your weakness…. He vanished.

"Are you ok?" Raven asked

"Yeah" she answered

BACK AT THE TOWER

Nyx sat in her room meditating. Do they really want me here? Am I just another Raven? She glanced down and noticed the 'banorum' part of her tattoo was glowing. She shrugged. All of a sudden she heard a tap at her window and she turned on her heel. At the window sat an ice sculpture of a rose.

MEANWHILE…

"Has anyone seen Nyx?" Robin asked sitting on the sofa.

"No, she seemed pretty determined to stay in her room" BB said staring at the tv.

"You've created a monster Raven" Cyborg said laughing. Raven grinned. They failed to notice the shadowy figure that was lurking near a certain titan's balcony.

Nyx walked out onto the balcony. She stared at the crystal clear stars intently. A strange voice broke her focus.

"Do they always keep you up here?" she spun around.

"Who are you?"

"Jack. Jack Frost"

"Nice name"

"Thanks" he grinned, "so are you always up here?"

"Mostly" she shrugged, "oh yeah I'm…"

"Nyx"

"How'd you know?"

"I have my ways" he looked at her arm, "nice tattoo" she wrapped it back up in ribbon.

"Thanks; uh why are you here?"

"I bring a message"

"Ok; what is it"

"Nyx; do you know where you come from?"

"No; why?"

"For your safety, I have to ask that you stay away from Slade as much as possible"

"Why?"

"I can't tell you; not now"

"Does that mean I'll see you again?"

"Most likely" he turned to leave.

"Wait"

"Yeah?"

"Where are you from?"

"A long way from here" he vanished.
