Hardly anyone talked on the way there, except for Raven and Beastboy, who both felt as if they could go on forever, probably making up for all of the time they spent trying to ignore each other. Upon arriving at Steel City they were greeted by a very unwelcome sight. Various buildings were either in ruins or flames. Piles upon piles of cars were overturned in the roads. Some of them were oil and gasoline tankers, spilling the dangerous fluid out across the pavement. The East Titans tower was in bad shape as well, though it was not completely leveled like the Titans Tower was. All of the windows were shattered and the entrance had been blown in like the other towers had. All of them arrived in the doorway and started to head inside, this is where they saw one of the most stomach turning things in their entire careers as Titans. One of the walls on the far side of the room was covered in black and ash. Smeared over the ash was the crimson shine of dried blood. It looked as if nobody was around at first, but upon further inspection Robin discovered the body of Speedy. His neck was bent at a funny angle, and blood dripped from his mouth when they turned him over. It looked as if he had been hit in the face with a battering ram. The entire left side of his face was flat, teeth were sticking out of wounds in his cheek, and one of his eyes was bloodshot and bleeding under the mask. It was apparent that he was dead. Robin turned away, putting his hand to his mouth and almost upchucking. Cyborg had run out of the room, Starfire broke down in tears on the spot, and Raven had her back turned with her hood up. Beastboy was pissed, plain and simple. "GAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, infuriated as he ran towards the wall with his arm poised. He punched the wall with all of his might, causing dozens of cracks to spread out from his fist and to the edges of the, and in the process, shattered the bones in his hand. He hardly felt it. With all of the adrenaline pumping through his body he simply dismissed it as a sprain. He continued at the wall, punching, and punching until chunks of concrete began to crumble away and fall to the floor. He stopped this escapade after about five minutes "…Holy shit…" Beastboy said with a slight shake in his voice as he backed away from the wall. "Hu…How did I do that?" The rest of the Titans disbanded and decided to search the rest of the tower, but Beastboy just stood there staring at the wall, and then at his hand over and over again. Raven walked up and placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned to face her and cocked an eyebrow when he saw that she had a troubled expression on her face. "You ok Raven? Their checking the rest of the tower, and the other east titans are probably…" "Beastboy", Raven cut in. "As important as that may be, there's something you really need to know. When I healed you, theres something I lied to you about." With this said her gaze shifted to the ground, and her face took on a very worried expression." "Raven… It can't be that bad right? I mean you did heal me…" "I didn't use my healing powers Beastboy" Raven broke in. "I used something else… I used, blood…" "Blood?" came Beastboys puzzled reply. "Yes…" "Raven what are you talking about?" "I had to perform a blood transfusion ritual, with my own blood. The healing qualities in my blood are what saved your life." Raven once again shifted her gaze, bringing her eyes to meet his own. "Whoa…" Beastboy said as he raised a hand to his chest and looked down at it, a hint of surprise on his face. "Raven I… I'm very thankful, but why is this such a problem?" "Beastboy… I have demonic blood coursing through my veins… You now are in the same situation. You're turning into a demon or something like it. The ritual is both a blessing and a curse." Beastboy simply remained silent, unblinking in disbelief. "Demonic qualities should be surfacing within you sometime in the next few days." She continued in a monotone voice. "The appearance and abilities you may gain will be based on your personality and intellectual buildup. I also think it's one of the reasons you couldn't morph… You'll never be the same again… I'm so sorry…" Her voice went softer and a bit more compassionate towards the last few words, and a saddening look started to grow on her face as she buried it in his chest. "Raven… You did what you had to do… And for that…" He raised a hand to her face and placed his finger under her chin tilting her face upwards. "Thank you…" Reaching out he drew her into a tight embrace, "thank you..." he whispered into her ear, closing his eyes as he placed his arms around her tiny waist. They probably would have stood there forever, had not they both heard the ever nearing Starfire crying franticly. All three of the other Titans walked into the main room, their expressions were absolutely depressing and hopeless. Starfire had her face buried in Robin's shoulder, crying hopelessly and helplessly. Cyborg simply looked toward them with a look of despair, and shook his head.
