Cyborg stared sadly down at his abandoned dinner and sighed. "Looks like it's time for plan B... Come on Starfire, we got a class to get to." He gathered his meat in a refrigurator, which he strapped on his back.

Raven raised an eyebrow in question. "Where are going?"

"We are going to learn to make sausages. All this meat must now be ground down, and stuffed into intestines. As I have been told." Starfire beamed. The horror that came out of her mouth obviously hadn't fazed her. "I imagine it is much like making Wel'Gofnotz on my home planet. Their creation is something I am much skilled in, and I thought I would 'Try my hand', as it were, at this task." The duo waved good bye to the remainder of the team and slipped, hungerly in one case, out the door.

"Uh...how could they do this! To a POOR ANIMAL!" BeastBoy turned a paler shade of green and swayed slightly. "I ...think I'm gunna... go tofu shopping...then appologize to all... the cows... in the world..." He ambled out of the tower.

Robin watched him go. "Hey Raven, maybe the two of us should do...some...thing..." He looked around the living room and sighed. She'd already receded into her shell, and this late, if she wasn't out, there wasn't a chance of dragging her away from meditation. So he resigned himelf to the prospect of another night alone infront of his computer monitor.

The main screen of the tower blinked into life and an orange and black mask loomed larger than life out at the ramaining Titan. Robin froze, the hair on the back of his neck stood on end and his skin crawled.

"Slade."

"I'm flattered. You really have gotten to know me, haven't you? But not nearly as well as I have you."

The Boy Wonder turned to face him, disdain evident in every jerk of his body. His hands tightened into fists. Oh how he wished to have the mans throat between his fingers. "What do you want this time?"

"Nothing different than I always have. Your destruction."

"Well I'm sorry to disapoint you, but I'm still standing. Maybe your not as strong as you think you are. I know you were behind that attack today, and frankly, I'm not impressed." He smirked. "You're slipping."

"Hardly." Slades voice hardened, but still held its silky rasp. "That was only a way of delivering my true assault. You and your friends were stung quite a few times, weren't you? Plenty of chance for something to slip in."

Robins eyes narrowed and he took up a fighting stance, though there was nothing on which to let his anger. "What did you do to them!"

"To them? Nothing. You're the only one I care about. You always have been. But you've always managed to thwart my plans, no matter how well laid. But not this time dear Robin. Because you'll be the one to destroy them."

"Haven't you tried this already? It didn't work then, and it won't work now."

"That's where you're wrong." He held up a small vile full of a sloshing red liquid. "Last time you faught them because if you didn't I'd destroy them. But this time you'll attack because you want to. You see this? It contains a few special chemicals just for you." His eyes narrowed, and he seemed to smile, though his mask covered most his face. "And it's just the two of you here, isn't it?"

Robin stepped away and shook his head, his eyes narrowing as well. "I'd never hurt Raven." He wouldn't. Not ever.

"I've already told you Robin. You won't have a choice." The screen went blank, Slades mocking laughter echoing off the walls, and in his skull.

"No." He went to his knees, a strange sensation making him feel weak. "Have..to warn...Raven..." His hand struggled to grasp his communicator, but as he touched it to let out he alarm he froze. The warmth in his body clouded his vision with red, and he gasped.His breath rocked his body and his hand fell away as he came on all fours. It passed and he stood again. But the eyes that looked out of his mask weren't those of the Boy Wonder. He make his way quickly down the hall to a certain black mages quarters.

Raven felt her mind clear as she chanted. After that 'battle' with King Wasp she was feeling sore, and meditation was the quickest way to heal. She was soon knocked out of her trance, however, by a knock on her door. She didn't move, hoping whoever it was would get the hint and go away. But as the pounding persisted she went to answer. The door slid open just enough for her to look out into the hall. "You're interupting my meditation."

Robin smiled back at her. "I wanted to talk." Her heart skipped a beat. Maybe he was interested in her after all... "Can I come in?" He moved closer, his smile faltered when she comtinued to stare at him.

Something was wrong. "I'll come out." She opened the door completely and stopped short as a gloved hand held her shoulder in a strong grip.

"I would prefer we were to go somewhere..private..." He manuvered her back into her room and closed the portal behind him. Locking it.

She shruged him off and stepped back slowly. "What are you-?" He was on her in a flash, pinnig her to the opposite wall. Her breath was knocked out of her and she struggled againt him. "Robin- what?"

He grinned. "Raven. I've wanted you in this position for a long time." He moved her tword her bed and her eyes widened. His lips went down to the hollow of her throat, and he chuckled into her neck as she faught against him. "Don't fight. That will just make it harder for you..."

Her eyes glowed white and she summoned her power. He took her wrists in one hand, his other arm wrapped around her waist. The power died out, and she felt herslef being drained. "How-?"

"Shh... It will all be over soon..."
