Chapter 9: The Blessings of Death

Raven walked up to the roof and saw Lucius breaking a two inch thick piece of wood. He turned to her and smiled warmly, glad to see her after last night. She had been there for him when he needed someone, after all he really wanted was her. Lucius walked over and gratefully took the tea she had made for him. "So..I wanted to ask something..about what i saw inside you." Raven said hoping she wasnt treading on hot water. Lucius took a sip of his tea and nodded,"Anything you want to know is opened to you Raven." he said dreamily. "You had a father who trained you in nijitsu and assasinry, but you never hated him for it?" Lucius gazed at the morning sky and let out a breath of cold air. "If he hadn't tought me all I know, I would be dead. You know that to be true as much as I do." Raven nodded. Lucius gazed into her beautiful lavender eyes, and smiled, "Raven the real question is what are we am I right?" Lucius hitting the nail on the head. Raven blushed and nodded which was replied by Lucius gently raising her head and smiling, "I really do like you Raven and your one of the only people ive let inside my head." he said. Raven smiled back at him and he leaned in kissing her gently,"You're the only one that can make me feel like this Lucius and i want to be with you." Raven layed her head down on his shoulder and he ran his fingers through her hair. This was the happiest moment of their young and complicated lives.

The girl Aedea had saved was now on the couch of the warehouse sleeping soundly as Shiv and his brother were looking on his laptop for something. Aedea wandered over to them and saw they were looking at profiles of the titans, all of which she found rather young or odd. "These are the people we were sent to kill? They're only kids, i mean how much trounle can they be?" Aedea said in wonderment. Shiv shifted slightly, "Well i meant they did kill Sparks. Thats why we called you sister." Aedea looked more than a little shocked. "But Sparks was one of our better operatives! How could a group of kids kill him?" She said in total disbelief. Shiv and his brother just sighed and both thought, "Sparks was a really good operative but was he really killed by the titans?" Aedea now had an enraged look on her face that they both knew would only be satisfyed by one thing: Blood.

After they kissed Lucius and Raven held each other tightly and gazed into the azure morning sky. "You know your emotions are quite the livily bunch Raven." she looked at him and smiled. "They get outta hand sometimes but its really just a matter of control." she cuddled up to him holding onto his waist tightly. They both kissed again and this time held it, that is untill Beast boy and Cyborg walked out to the roof and saw them. "So any way i was....WHAT THE HELL!" Beast boy yelled and pointed at them. Cyborg smiled and laughed at Beast boy's reaction to the whole thing. "Why didnt anyone tell me!" he yelled at Cyborg, "I had every right to know!" Cyborg just grabbed him by the back of the neck and took him down the stairs with him. Lucius and Raven looked at each other and laughed gently at his reaction. "I have to admit angel, this is gonna be a great home." Raven smiled up at him and cuddled into his chest. Beast boy was now going crazy about the news,"I mean what else do i not know, Robins a muatant clone? Starfires pregnant? Jynx's hair color becoming yellow?" Just as he sadi Jynx she walked in and acctually stopped the room with her presence. Not only was she in a plaid skirt and a black tank top, but her hair had been died with black streaks leaving a cool black on pink thing. Cyborg let out a playful whistle and she stepped over to him, hugged him tightly and held his hand. Beast boy by this time became a drooling ardvark on the floor, Terra trying her best to revive him.

"Aedea please, we cant take the risk of losing you as well." Shiv said with concern but understanding. Hell, he wanted to kill thoses kids as soon as Sparks died but he needed time. "I'm going Shiv and thats final." she said cocking her 357. Desert Eagle and putting it in her hip holster. Her little brother decided to help considering that if he didnt she might be quite mad at him and not Shiv. She picked up a very large bag that looked like it could hold three or more bodies, but it turned out to be a mini-gun that was anything but small. This bulking behemoth of weapons had 8000 rounds and a rather high caliber, one of herpersonal favorites next to her precision rifle wich she chose to leave."Sister, just come back to me in one peace alright?" Shiv said and kissing her gently. she smiled at him and slung the mini-guns backpack over her shoulder with no troubles and hefted the gun to her shoulder. "Always brother, I would never die without you by my side." and with that she began to walk twords titan tower.

Shiv and his brother both were scared for her but knew if anyone could take them out, it would be her. She always carried the big guns quite litterally bieng the heavy weapons expert. Her accruracy was unmatched and she could easily take out any target from any range. Shiv loved her dearly and just wanted her to come back to them safly or heck even not safly but just to come back. "Maybe we should help her." Shiv's brother said already knowing that she would send them back with a swift kick to the face. "All we can really do is watch brother. She wouldn't want it any other way." The girl from this morning was stirring and Shiv went over to her, she was about his brothers age and very pale which suggested that she was homeless. she was in tattered jeans and a shirt that was two sizes to big for her. "Twirp, I want you to look after Aedea's prize, I've gotta work some of this off." Shivc said lighting a cigerette and walking outside twords the bay.

Aedea was standing on the dock where Lucius and her brother about a week ago fought. She lowered the mini-gun to her waist and gave a wink to the tower. They would be in for a very rude and deadly wake up call. the trigger was pulled and the first bullet fired right into the tower's common room. Cyborg heard a whistle of a bullet, "Hit the ground damnit!" He yelled as her lunged at Jynx and the others. The first hundred bullets riped through the common room destroying the new T.V. and the kitchen. Cyborg was on top of everyone pushing their heads down everytime one would start to lift. The trail of bullets cut into the tower and blew out the windows as one by one they found thier mark hitting everything in the tower, except of course for the titans. After the first 1500 rounds Aedea began to aim it at the point of the tower and work her way up. She blew out the glass and destroyed the rooms of the titans, bieng unlucky no one was in thier's. She noticed two figures on the roof and couldn't resit but to fire, sending about 50 rounds their way. Lucius and Raven who were so shocked by this bold move didnt see the bullte trail coming till it was almost to late. Lucius pushed Raven out of the way in the nick of time but the bullet trail ripped right threw his arm severing iit from his body. Lucius just stood there fo a second or two and looked down at the bloody stump of his left arm and then just collapsed.
