Diclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans.

Raven and Reason moved silently tword the menecing figure. It hung in the darkness, eyes glowing behind a black mask. They approched from behind, darting worried looks at eachother. It didn't look very strong at all. Infact, it appeared almost frail, as if held up only by the heavy night that was its constant companion. Then without warning, Robin struck out with a fist, aimed at the apparitions head, it ducked and returned with a deadly leg thrust, knocking the other emotion back into the cave wall. It moved to face Raven, who let dark magic cover her hands and burst out of her eyes. Neither of them made any attampt to attack the other.

"Why are you here?" The voice that came out of its mouth was dry, but still that of the Boy Wonder. It was as if his tounge was made of paper.

She looked him up and down. "To stop you." Her power seemed to wane, as he only shrugged in responce.

"I guessed someone would be here soon enough. What has been happening...sometimes...you just can't help yourself, ya know?" Sanity appeared, well, sane. If maybe a bit confused. "I think something was done to me..." His voice trailed off.

"But will you stop?" Raven looked at him intenetly, her eyes blazing with barely restrained magic.

"No." The responce was simple. The tone final.

"Then we will make you!" Reason braced himself against the wall and lunged, birdarang in hand. Sanity blocked with one of his own, and they stood, face to face, pushing against each other. But they were evenly matched, and neither could gain any purchase. "You need to stop!"

"I won't" His voice was strained, and he seemed to grow stronger. Energy fled the brave emotion, he was flung aside. "Now. Raven. We. Meet. Again." Each word was pronounced seperately, as if to emphasize that they would likely be the last she would ever hear.

As a responce she let her anger flare up, and let her powers control her. If he had to go down, she was going with him.

"Yo! Is anyone home? I brought Tofu Chicken! Anyone?" BeastBoys ears drooped. Everyone must have gone to bed already. He had been hopeing that atleast one person had stayed up to see that he got home. "Hey guys! I could be dieing here! Doesn't anyone care?" He sighed and put the tofu chicken in the fridge. "Guess not..." He jumped over the back of the couch and settled himself in for a night of monster movies.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and the changeling turned to see the Titan leader entering the room. "Hey Robin! Wanna watch some TV with me? There's a vampire zombie marathon on channel seven...umm? Robin? You sleep walking or somethin'?"

Robin was standing at the entrance to the hallway, eyes fixed straight ahead of him. When he spoke his voice was low and sandy. "Why are you here?"

"Umm... I just got back from the Tofu Chicken place and I thought I'd-" He was cut off.

"I guessed someone would be here soon enough. What has been happening...sometimes...you just can't help yourself, ya know?" He looked confused for a moment before he spoke again. "I think something was done to me..."

"What? Are you ok? What happened?" BeastBoy stood up on the couch and peered at his friend, who was looking around strangely.

"No."

"You don't look to good. Maybe we should go see Cyborg..." He moved tword Robin, hands outstretched in a plea to help. But he pulled out a birdarang and grabbed BeastBoys arm, pushing against him. The green boy cryed out in surprise, and he felt his knees shake. His eyes widened in fear. He couldn't transform.

"I won't" He flung the weakened Titan to the side. "Now. Raven. We. Meet. Again."

"Raven?" BeastBoy croaked before losing consiousness.

Their palms met, and they struggled against eachother, much like Sanity had with Reason. But with the added power of Ravens unbrideled emotions, this out come was looking like it would be different. Black light whipped out at this head and arms. Her eyes began to glow red to mirror his, but they then spit, and he found himself staring into the horrible depths of her four blood colored eyes. "I don't want to do this." Her voice was low and terrible, reserved only for those who had managed to really piss her off. "If you come back into the light, I won't have to kill you." She pushed harder, and he found himself being forced to tap into his stolen energy yet again.

"Do you think it will make things right?" He sneered. "Do you think he'll let himself live after everything he's done?" He let Starfires power fill his tired muscles, and his hands burst into emerald fire.

"And you want that?"

"Yeah. I do." He pushed shoved her away and fired a barrage of starbolts in her direction. She slapped up a shield and charged him

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" A black aura covered his body and flung him across the cavern. He hit the wall with a crunch, smoke filled the air and she hovered in the air, waiting impationtly for it to settle. She heard a familir noise, but wasn't quick enough to put up another shield, as Cyborgs Sonic Cannon hit her in the chest.

She struggled to stand, but was releaved of the need to as Sanity pulled her to her feet by her hair. A blue light was shining in his hand, which he held inches from her face. "Good night." But instead of fireing, he froze, then collapsed, losing his grip on Raven. A birdarang was imbedded in his back.

"Sorry, but it's not her bed time." Reason stood infront of her, clutching his side. "But it might be mine." He dropped into a crouch and looked up at Raven, who appeared worried. "Looks like we did it. Nice knowin' ya." He felt the last of his strength leave him, and he fell against the witch, who held him softly agaist her chest. She cried softly as he began to fade before her eyes.

"Don't go..." She sobbed into his shoulder, which was become less solid by the second.

"Unless you got any better ideas." He chuckled dryly, but his voice sounded like it was coming from someplace far off.

"I have to find a way! No matter what!" She summonded all the strength inside her and grabbed onto her best friends fadeing form. She wasn't going to lose him. Not now, not ever.
