The resultant war became almost...a pattern.

Flashback 1

"They're regrouping on our right flank!", the Red X warned. Raven's dark manifestation, Starfire and Beast Boy's eagle form burned gray streaks in the air. The three cascaded into a tight formation charging the criminals from the right. A single bright pink bolt collided with Beast Boy. Instantly molting, he immediately blinded both Raven and Starfire.

Passion was the order of the day. Passions on the field.

Flashback 2

"draaAAAAUGH!", Mammoth screamed. His muscles threatened to burst his skin as his claws and teeth sunk into the T-Car. Inside, Cyborg prayed that his baby would forgive him and pressed the button to dump experimental fuel additive directly into the gas supply.

3

Passions in their beds.

Flashback 3

The salty drops fell from his face onto hers. He tried to control his breathing...and failed miserably. He tried to hold back. Then he let loose.

Beast Boy wailed opennly, allowing his tears to wash over Terra's photograph.

4

Passions in their training.

Flashback 4

Jinx wrestled in futility against the red x-shaped tapes that held her hands around the posts of her bed. She could see her complete form in the mirror. As usual she was nude.

The Red X slid the plastic device over her exposed skin. "Don't worry. I won't kill. If I killed you, you wouldn't learn nothin'."

5

Passions over graves.

Flashback 5

An "R" and a "G" were carved into the concrete of a moseleum above each other next to "OTH". Raven Roth held Goth's head in her hands as she tried to coax his tongue into her mouth. Goth held her suspended against the moseleum, one armed around her torso and the other holding her butt. When he pressed against her she wrapped legs around him, then her cloak to encourage him to reach climax without her.

Robin realized the key to ending it. So he announced his plan to end the crime spree.

7

The Red X realized the key to ending it. So he announced his plan to continue the crime spree.

8

Starfire celebrated the gift of such a brilliant boy in her life with glee.

9

Jinx accepted the burden of keeping such a brilliant boy in her life with solemn duty.

10

Cyborg started calling out "Booyah!" in different tones.

11

Gizmo started on a ten minute euphamism for the Teen Titans. "Snot-bugglin', cream garglin'..."

12

Beast Boy continued in his apparently happy go luck way.

13

Mammoth enojoyed the expectation of another victory.

14

And Raven gave no reaction. Her emotions still needed to be carefully guarded. With her being as "loose" as she allowed herself with Goth, her control became all the more tenuous. It took a lot more effort to let the little moments of comfort from being with her friends or slip of humor from becoming an outburst of destructive chaos.

If something really big actually set her off in this condition...there's no telling what would happen.
