Flickering Shadows

Chapter 6: This is evil?

Disclaimer: I SO do not own the Teen Titans/ATHF/PPGirls/Any other things from television. I do take credit for Pakkurath and Pakkarath AKA the Rat-Pakk.

Note: Working on this and another fic for a friend, becoming a slight difficulty here and there. Well we do what we must! Today, the story of Grant along with the beginning of "The Evil that is Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday" Also, a scene between Raven and Slade which makes even Wintergreen blush!

…The castle of doctor weird…

Pakkurath and Pakkarath knock at the door. Pakku raises a brow, "Wasn't I here already?"

A red headed kid in a white lab coat pops out, "Kill… Me…" then a head pops out of his chest, showing the white tuff haired scientist "I am reborn! Ah-ha!"

The kid falls back with the doctor laughing madly, Pakkurath screams "Run! The corn!" the two brothers make a run for it as corn now flies after them. However, above a purple digital 2-D ship floats down with little putt sounds as it lands. The doors open, and out steps a green 2-D alien with his brows plucked up, "We are, the Mooninites, and we are here to claim this pathetic planet as our own."

A second alien, much smaller and pink with brows plucked down screams as he runs to his partner, "That's right! Now bow down earthlings, and take it like a biatch! Woo-hoo!" the alien falls over, "Man, we're so totally wasted… damn."

The two aliens look around; no one was there so the green one turns to his second in command, "Eer, you made an error again." Eer snaps back "Damn it Ignignokt, this was your spot not mine!"

Ignignokt pulls out his blaster, "Do not question my logic! For my logic is that of the moon!" Eer grabs his blaster "Fool, better put that thing down before you poke an eye out!"

The two stand there as two figures run into their ship, then hearing the flying corn they scream and run to their ship. The Mooninites look out the window, Ignignokt snarls, "Well now they have angered me!" Ignignokt's hand sprouts a finger that stretches up to the roof, "See the rage of the moon, devised through my finger!"

Eer turns around, "Uh, who the hell are they?" Ignignokt looks back before both are suspended in mid air, screaming as they are pushed against the glass. Pakkarath sighs, "Must you be so inhospitable?"

Pakkurath snaps, his one, and only one arm holding the two with some mystical force, "Silence dog! I take no orders from you, nor do you take any from me. This game has that rule and only that rule to be honored." Pakkurath was now in his immortal essence, having gray skin with protruding tusks from his lower jaw, and ears pointed back with his snarl. Pakku floats over the floor with the bottom of his trench dangling where legs should be, but only the shadow inside his trench shows in this place. The hand holding the two has long fingers with sharp claw like nails, Pakku growls like an animal as he drops the two gasping aliens, "However, not killing was part of the arrangement… sadly."

Pakkarath nods, now stepping forward with metallic clacks Pakkarath also made an immortal change. His form is like metal silver, shinned and pressed the trench is titanium alloy that moves with the ease of silk, a similar but more durable variation like Robin has in his cape. The trench has a gray color, much like the toned shirt of metal gray and deep gray pants. Having hair that was like the rest of his metallic form it stood back from his face except for two small slanted bangs at the center of the forehead. The face, had grooves where a mouth and nose should have been, but six red eyes slink to the other brother, "Such a problem child brother, truly you are. I dare say you are the spitting similarity of father."

Pakkurath chuckles, "To be called similar to Akaige is not really such a disgrace; he is one of the most feared devil gods in dimensional history."

Pakkarath shrugs, "If you believe so," he now turns to the two fearful aliens, "Calm yourselves. We come in peace!"

Eer screams "Bullshit! We saw that movie, the alien kills people every time he says that!"

Pakkurath snarls "Do you wish for me to rip out your spines?" The two scream as Pakkarath sighs, "That really did not help!" Pakkarath squats down saying "Listen, we wish to talk about a villain collective, like the one you made before."

Ignignokt and Eer look to each other than say, "The rebirth of "Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday?"

Pakkarath glares to Pakkurath, "For Kage's sake I hope that's not what they really called themselves." Pakkurath smirks, "Hey, it's sort of catchy."

…The Hideout…

Raven made her way down the halls with Wintergreen leading the way. She was listening as he explained the reasons for the place being built as it was. Sometimes he would go off on a rant about the architecture and reasoning behind the passages, seeming like he actually enjoyed this stuff. Raven realized soon after that Wintergreen probably enjoyed talking to someone finally, not Slade but someone else. She asks with his rant coming to an end, "Are you lonely here?"

Wintergreen turns back and blinks, "Pardon?" Raven asked the question again, he smiles adding "I am not really alone, Mister Slade is usually around when he needs my assistance."

Raven narrows her eyes, "You know what I meant, don't you want to leave and enjoy your life more?"

Wintergreen nods, "Well, of course I wish for more. However, I'm all…" Wintergreen sighs, "All he has left really." Wintergreen smirks, now they continue the walk he adds onto his rambles, "You see, like Slade said he became very cold and calculating after the betrayal of his first love. His mind lost any real link to the world, and often he wished for his own death. The truth is I believe that my being at his side may actually be the only thing keeping him from turning truly to darkness." Wintergreen turns to Raven, "The oddity is he has not seemed this content before. Your company here has seemed to make him quite more manageable."

Raven blushes, "Really?" she now looks to her side to hide this embarrassment, "Um, that's not my concern…"

Wintergreen nods, "Yes, I understand. How would you like to see the trophy room?"

Raven nods, her face stone again she follows.

…Titans Tower…

Robin snarls, "Can't move… damn it!"

Starfire with her face on the floor muffles out a "Robin, watch your orifices of oral content!"

Robin sighs; they had all been paralyzed from that recent attack. The only one capable of moving was Meatwad, he rolls around asking why everyone was on the floor, Frylock screams "Meatwad! You need to get some help and come back here with it!"

Meatwad nods, "I see," Meatwad rolls a couple of steps before turning back, "Wait, and say what now?"

Frylock screams "Damn it Meatwad, get help!"

Meatwad sits there for a few seconds before asking, "Say what now?"

Frylock sighs, "That beam may not have paralyzed him but it paralyzed his brain."

Shake screams "What brain? Meatwad had a brain? I thought he was just a wad of meat."

While this happened, outside three floating girls knock on the door, one in a green dress with black hair, as the skittish one with a blue dress and blonde hair says in this sweet voice, "I don't know if the professor is going to like this."

The green dressed girl snaps "Oh good god Bubbles, just deal with it. What's the worse that could happen?"

A girl with a pink dress and long red hair snaps "Hold it right there Buttercup, we should have at least told the professor we were leaving!"

Buttercup groans, "Blossom, we didn't have time! We're already late!"

As Buttercup was about to knock Meatwad opens the door, "Just leave your papers at the door, than leave."

The girls look blankly at the wad as he closed the door, Bubbles asks "Did that kitty just talk to us?"

…Comic Con 6000… and 20…

Pakka and Pakku glare to each other, the Mooninites took them to this comic con where they now look in slight annoyance. Pakkurath asks "How are we going to find respectable evil in a comic convention?"

Ignignokt states, "Well, if you do not wish to create the team of evil, then we will certainly do it all ourselves! That way, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force shall perish ultimately!"

Eer nods, "That's right, we'll plug their freaking corn-holes alone!"

Pakka nudges Pakku, "We agreed to try this whole evil team spiel, let's just finish it."

Pakku frowns, "If you say so…"

…The Hideout…

Slade was in his training room, with his body sweating profusely as he had removed his upper garments and mask. Slade was himself, he was Wilson. Slade Wilson, ex-merc and assassin. Slade once was called Deathstroke and The Executioner until he took the new name and identity. Well not really new, but he was on a special contract for himself. He wants it so when he does destroy Robin, and Jump City, that the name people remember is Slade, the name of the father, of the son that… Slade stops his strong swings of punches and kicks to leave his breaths free. 'The mind is wandering again Slade, try and keep focused.' Slade lets his mind act on the fight of imaginary figures, imaginary titans, and begins a long ordeal with his allusive prey. First a match with Beast Boy, imagining the green gorilla he dodges under the false punches and swings to land sublime palm strikes to the gullet, making the rounded belly seem to fumble as Beast Boy is made human, now human he was weak… well, weaker, and Slade lands a strong frontal kick to the diaphragm and then a swishing heel kick to the lower jaw. In retrospect, the real Beast Boy often used that ape form so this tactic would work.

Moving on, Starfire, she flies in with her bolts, tossing and swinging Slade narrowly moves through them, allowing the minor sparks to singe his flesh with imaginary fire. Slade waits for her to get in close, forcing the evenly matched hand-to-hand form. Starfire has strength, and much more nimble via her floating. Slade has experience, and with a little finagling of her rage enforced punches which she feeds off the emotions he finally ducks under her punch to plow past her and smashing his right fist straight in her stomach, the plan to knock the wind out of her seems logical, but is it really affective? Tameranian physiology is difficult, so Slade knows after this momentary lapse in her systems he has only a moment to grab her head, and forcefully swing her full momentum to the ground where he digs her face to the dirt. Slade makes up, slamming his right heel to her skull, and now she is down as well.

Cyborg, firing his cannons, Slade knows little on how to dodge them but tries anyway, making a somersault and leap to the side, Slade manages to use a discus on the teen. This causes a short-circuit only lasting five seconds, Slade moves in fast. On the fifth second Cyborg wakes and now Slade starts his last bit of fight on him. Disarming one cannon and leaving only the other to fire. Slade moves back from the swinging fist of Cyborg, and puts up both arms as the one cannon fires. Too close to dodge, only blocking makes the efforts fruitful. An explosive, lying in the one disabled arm as Slade disarmed Cyborg's cannon now explodes taking the teen's arm off, in the lapse Slade finally makes a final move to the teen to hack his systems, using a full-access breaker and opening the inner chamber of Cyborg's chest. Cyborg panics for a moment as a virus is loaded in through a patch-up, Cyborg's entire systems are off-lined, done, finished.

Slade now feels tired; too much running with the last one but the armor and form makes him third difficult. The second to difficulty is Robin, he stands with pole ready. Slade snarls with his bearded hairs and makes his last charge at his only one TRUE enemy, the one that took… his son.

…The Treasure Room…

Raven looks on to all the treasure, many articles of their own battles that never were found. Raven sees the strange Creepy-Scary monster poster actually held together here with tape. The one time they fought Mumbo-Jumbo and the broken wand is held here in glass. The titans achievements, and failures loom in the room. The one outfit Terra wore as a Titan, not as Slade's apprentice sits to the side. Another outfit, one Raven knows, but can not remember fits her mind. "What is that?"

Wintergreen was dusting the large demon axe from Trigon's service as he turns, his grin makes to be a solemn frown, "It is… the outfit of the late Ravager…"

Raven raises a brow, the burnt fabric and color scheme is like Slade. The one side of the chest is orange, right is black, padding on arms and legs are metallic bucklers. The strangest mask is held on the upper dummy piece, the head piece is a cap that covers the eyes but not the nose and mouth, "Ravager? Who was the Ravager?"

Wintergreen tries to move the subject, pointing out a Ming vase but Raven gasps, "Hold it!" she holds her hand to hide the mask, the other part of the outfit, "Robin, Slade made Robin wear that out fit!" She turns her mind as inquisitive as ever, "Why Wintergreen? What is the connection? What, or who is the Ravager?"

Wintergreen looks on Raven "I… I can't…"

Slade walks in, his mask from his outfit on he says with deep breathes, "It's okay, Wintergreen. She has a right to know." Wintergreen looks over, Slade was still bare chested showing thousands of healed scars over his wide chest, healed but constant memoirs to the life he lives, "Raven has a right to know, why I hold so true to making Robin and that city pay. What they did to my son."

…Titans Tower…

After several moments later, Bubbles is able to talk squirrel to Squirely, the friend of Meatwad, convincing Meatwad they were here to help. Finding the titans and others in the form they were, Buttercup has a plan, "Okay, I'll take Robin you take the others!"

Robin blinks, "Uh, what?" Buttercup looks around, "Oh come on, what preteen hasn't wanted to have a full-sized Robin action figure?"

Robin gulps, "Somebody help!" Blossom floats over, "Buttercup!" Buttercup with a groan asks "Okay, so how do we remove this whole paralysis thing?"

Starfire is able to lift her head, "In truthful honesty, it seems our states do not last forever, we must simply wait for the paralysis to make post-haste."

Blossom smiles, "Until then, we can watch Rainbow-Monkies!" she turns on the television making a Rainbow Monkey show come on, the boys groan as Blossom, Starfire, and Bubbles enjoy the show. Buttercup bangs her head on a wall, "Why… why must we watch this?"

…The Comic Convention…

"And so," Ignignokt speaks to the team assembled, "We shall destroy the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Teen Titans, and all others who dare go against us. For we are, Monday/Tuesday/Wed…" Pakkurath swats away Ignignokt, "We're calling ourselves the Rat-Pakk, as that is who I and my brother are!"

The tables on the ground of the podium have several villains, the first to stand has a toilet roll over his head, "Um, hi, my names," he makes his villain pose, "The Toilenator!" he then goes to his previous pose, "And, um, I thought there was a mentioning of Free Pies and/or Punch?"

Pakkurath looks to Pakkarath, "What?"

Pakkarath shrugs as Eer says, "Um, yeah, we thought more people might come if we offered them pie and punch but…"

Ignignokt walks over, "Yes, in our infinite wisdom of the moon, we forgot… to purchase the punch or the pies."

Eer chuckles, "Well, we bought some pies but, they were more personal you know what I mean?" he swings his arms up screaming "Woo-hoo!"

Pakkurath slaps his face, "Idiots…" turning to the others he screams "We have no punch and pie, now as I was saying!"

The Toilenator harrumphs before leaving with several other villains, Pakkurath screams "You morons! We're talking about entire destruction of super heroes, what's wrong with you?"

The giant mantis, Zorak, shakes his fist saying "I skipped out on a strip-joint for this? I'll be waiting for you out in the parking lot buddy!" he runs off laughing as some strange orange headed cat creature runs with him singing about beets. Pakkurath looks over the remaining members, "Well, as we previously stated evil is our only objective, I'm glad you are willing to join!"

The monkey with a large fish-globe over his head jumps on the table, "It is inevitable, that we all join together in the force of evil!" his hands do snaps in the air as he goes in a long monologue, "We are destined to evil, for evil is our destiny, and as we are destined to said evil…" there is suddenly a giant fish hitting his face, "Who dares to disturb I, Mojo-Jo-Jo!"

To the side a small group of villains start screaming, "Bizzaro!"

Pakkurath watches as now a turtle man starts hopping around screaming "Bizzaro, I love you, Bizzaro!" he chuckles as the villains start fighting each other, "Who the hell am I kidding? This world has no worthy villains for our cause." He turns to leave only having Pakkarath grab his chest, Pakku raises a brow.

Pakkarath walks over to the podium, his trench falls off his shoulders and soon his body protrudes many upon many of barrels, blinking arms with saws and blades, and soon his eyes glow with golden bulls-eyes, "We came here," Pakka says with his guns clicking and cocking to fire, "To find those willing to join our alliance for the attack on the Teen Titans, if none of you have the balls, screw off!"

The villains look stunned, and soon all scramble off. Pakkarath snickers, letting his weapons return to his metallic flesh he looks to the two aliens, "I've decided we deserve a more ingenuities collection of villains."

Eer blinks, "Uh, sure thing Mr. I-have-a-freaking-military-in-my-pants!"

Pakkurath snarls, "Pull out 50 some odd guns, everyone listens, but threatens their immortal souls with anguish and torment people just ignore you!"

Pakkarath shrugs, "What can I say, people like quick results!"

Ignignokt asks, "What are we to do now? Without a team of super villains you are no real threat to anyone." To this the two glare, the green alien sweats, "What I mean is… Eer, tell them what I mean!"

Eer looks at Ignignokt, "Why the hell should I say it?" Pakka just snaps "Both of you shut up! I don't need this anymore!" he clangs his head, "Why did I ever even agree to making a team? Why did I join evil, is this all evil is about?"

Then a shadow looms to them, the four look over as standing with metal spider legs, "Hey crud-tosser, we heard there's a plan to destroy the Teen Titans." With him come four other shadows, "We want in."

Pakka and Pakku shrug, "Why not?"

…The Hideout…

Raven looks sort of stunned, Slade has this amazing form under that outfit. His chest has marks of many, like a tapestry of pain crossed his chest. Then the words strike, "Hold it, what did Robin do to you?"

Slade closes his eye, "Raven, do you honestly feel that with all these attacks on the titans I had no honest agenda, no worthy motives?" Slade now looks on in a glare, "The Teen Titans, and Robin especially took something very important to me."

Slade makes a stroll to Raven, she has her eyes on the burnt outfit, "My life with Addie bore two sons Raven, one was my son Jericho who I lost for my… overconfidence in being Deathstroke. The other one surprisingly learned of my identity and learned to be a great contract mercenary. Addie lied, saying I killed his father…" Slade grabs his chin, "Actually in a way Deathstroke did kill his father." Slade shakes his head, "Well my son Grant decided to try and prove his worth to the mercenary world by taking the same contract I denied on you Titans, someone anonymously tried to get me but then found my son. Grant became Ravager, and you may remember that one time you fought him?"

Raven looks at the outfit; her mind does remember a time, fighting someone called Ravager, "Yes… I remember…" her eyes grow large, "The fire… Slade that was an accident!"

"So?" Slade stomps his foot. "That was not the part that killed me more, my dear, it was the fact my son, the only one WILLING to follow in my footsteps and give me a chance, actually wishing to try and prove his worth to me was killed, killed by the Teen Titans!"

…A year or so ago, Jump City…

Robin revs to a halt, jumping off his R-Cycle he screams, "Okay, this one seems to be a sort of contract killer. Keep your guard up everyone."

Starfire nods in mid air until a blue beam shoots her down, the titans look to the warehouse windows where a smoke trail filters up the window, inside the semi-muscular shadow looks out with white eyes, in his apprentice outfit and face covering mask the titans make a dash for the warehouse. Ravager snarls lowly with his large rifle with electro-charges now smoking, his teeth are tightly clenched as he now retreats deeper into the abandoned warehouse. The titans break down the door, Robin swings his staff, "Span out, find this guy before someone gets hurt!"

The five teens fan out in the dark warehouse when the lights turn on, the warehouse was a robotics factory. Robin glares to the robot arms now opening their large metal clamps and claws that soon begin slashing at the heroes. Robin looks to the control room as the others work on these many strafing arms, "Who is this guy?" he leaps off and swings his staff down into a joint of one droid arm, then springing off this joint Robin jumps onto another and runs up the arm as it bends back making a direct hump at the same level as the control room. Robin screams as he leaps out with disks ready, tossing them through the windows he causes the glass to shatter now forcing Ravager to block his face, but only as he held up his rifle to fire several blinded rounds. Robin is lucky as the rifle misses each shot, Robin lands in a sprawl and swipes his staff under the feet of Ravager now than lunging up and pinning Ravager with a horizontal neck-press on the floor, "Give up, you've lost!"

Ravager smirks as he uses his strength to toss Robin off, he jumps up on his feet and uses a staff weapon like Robin does, Robin growls lowly as Ravager twirls the staff in his fingers, (The Ravager, Voiced by Kyle Hebert from Dragon Ball Z, Gohan) "Okay, you're good, but not that good."

Robin glares more aggressively, "Listen pal, if you want to try and get my attention you have it, leave my friends be!"

Ravager snorts, placing the staff on his shoulders he asks "Why do you think it's about you? The name? Robin, ex-detective? Seriously, I'm only doing this because of my contract against you."

Robin hears someone scream in the robot factory, seeing Beast Boy as a gorilla he is being suspended from one arm. Ravager smirks, "Listen, if you're so worried go save them." Ravager turns to the door, "Or, follow me. It's all up to you kid. Come on, you know what you want."

Robin glares to Beast Boy, then Ravager, now to Starfire pushing an arm open, then Ravager. Robin shakes his head free "I'm going to stop you!"

"That a boy!" Ravager makes a dash for the door, "You're just like me, and we're a lot a like!"

Robin snarls as they run up the stairway, "I'm nothing like you!"

"Oh yes you are!" Ravager chuckles as he twists the tops of three orbs, the orbs now are tossed and bounce with blinking lights, Robin leaps past them before they explode, "We both need to be the best! The true symbol of always being number one!" Ravager kicks open a door at the end of the stairs to now turn back striking his staff on the stone roof, Robin puts up his staff as a block, "We're competitive by nature and deep down we will do what it takes to win."

Ravager pulls out a switch, pushing a trigger many explosions go off inside the building. Robin looks back to see a ball of flame shoot out of the hallway why exited. Robin rolls out of the way, and then looks up seeing Ravager swing on him. Robin and Ravager now begin striking staffs with their metal weapons; Ravager screams fierce roars as Robin snarls in hate of this attacker. The swings, stabs, and rolls make both pass each other and turn around again and again as they fight with the heated building now starting to crumble. Robin screams with a vertical swipe knocking out the pole from Ravager, Ravager pulls out a gun and points it on Robin's stunned face, "Kid, you're way too serious…"

The roof then crumbles, Ravager looks down as the roof caves and Robin fires his grappling hook, grabbing Ravager's hand the two dangle above the fires. Robin strains to hold Ravager's hand, Ravager looks up in horror, "I just… I just wanted…" the glove in his suit begins to slip, "I wanted to… have a… father…" the glove is lost, Robin looks in shock as the young man falls into the flames, seeing his frame engulfed by the fires. Robin looks up, the hook holds onto the roof before now twining, he screams as the rope snaps but an orange hand grabs his and takes him to safety. Robin is landing on one foot as he watches the building burn away; his face is shocked with horror as he… let that man die.

…The Hideout…

Slade has his hands on the back of a lounge chair, "You see, I had a surveillance camera watching the whole event. Robin let my son die, he let him burn to death." He glares with his hands digging deep into the material, "The courts, they acted like nothing happened. To them, Robin was only doing what was right as Robin, the avenger." Slade screams as he tosses the chair breaking it across a wall, "The damn courts said Robin was not to blame, but I saw it! I saw it all!" Slade turns with his eye writhing in hate, "I know what happened, but since Robin was in his little suit he was free of the crime! Those costume wearing "heroes" can even get away with murder, as long as he was Robin he got away with it all!"

Raven stands with her head sort of tilted down, Slade did not know if she was sad or what, so he heaves a long breath to calm himself, "You see… Jump City decided Robin was free of the crime because he wears the mask of Robin, that city just passed over my son's murder without a proper trial. I wanted to make it all burn, burn like my son, suffer like he had to. The city, and if not that have Robin replace my lost son." Slade chuckles, "I'm starting to think it's not worth the hassle."

Raven now acts with a strong stare, Slade lowers his eye on her, "That's because it isn't Slade." Raven walks over and grabs his wrist, "You want to talk to me about "Hiding behind masks" look at you! You do the same thing, hiding as Deathstroke and using your name Slade. The truth is you're not both, you're only one. Who is it, Slade or Deathstroke?"

Slade raises a confused brow, "What are you getting at?"

Raven sighs, "Slade was a man that loved, that cared for the people in his life. Deathstroke, he was a mercenary that put his first son's life in danger just because he was "the best" then let his other son fight a stupid cause he himself did not want!" Slade pulls away, "Don't just run away! Who are you, who is the real you?"

Slade grips his right fist tightly, "Oh, you want to see the real me? You want to know the real me?" Slade grabs his mask and rips the helmet off, "Here, Raven!" Raven's eyes widen from the view of his large scar over his right eye, "What do you think about Slade Wilson?"

Raven looks over the large mark, sure it was deep and harsh but as she walked over Slade's deeply breathing form is shocked as she reaches her one hand up. Slade flinches as the tender fingers tip his scar, but since it was not painful Slade lets her slowly caress the marks and groove. Slade notices how she also slowed her breaths, her fingers followed up the mark to his hairs that seemed white snow in color, brushing the strands curving over his matured, handsomely strong features of the now shocked face of a man.Ravensmirks, "You know, I was right." Slade raises his other brow, "Youare handsome."

Slade is silent; his sight of Raven's face as she soaks his own face in was pleasing. Most see his face and gasp, why? The idea is here, you see a man who is fearful, deadly, and this scar is a testament he should have died but he did not. Un-killable and vicious he would slaughter an entire city for the revenge he lives for. Slade then feels a sigh leave his chest, "I'm… sorry…" he reaches to remove her hand, "You weren't supposed to see this yet."

Raven blinks, "What do you mean?"

Slade raises his head up to the ceiling with his eyes closed. "I didn't want you to see me like this."

Raven was confused still but shrugs, her head lying on his chest, making Slade leave a startled jump free, "Slade, you said these things make us stronger. So why do you hide it?" Raven rubs into his form, her eyes now heavy from too much excitement she closes them slightly, "If you are stronger when you admit who you are, lying as Deathstroke and hiding this mark only makes you weaker."

Ravenis yawning before saying softly, "I'm tired…" she feels herself nuzzling into Slade who looks to another chair, he sits down and holds Raven as she slowly falls into slumber. Smirking, Slade caresses the hairs from her face as she crawled into his muscular arms. Slade makes a deep breath as he hears Wintergreen now moving and Wintergreen blushes as he now exits the room. Slade looks down toRavenwho accepts him for his flaws, the one that does not see him as the mistake like… she once did. Slade then glares to his trophies, years of hunting and killing… it was all really worthless now. Those tools and memories were not even half as gratifying as this moment right now. Slade glares on Raven as she was truly peaceful at this moment, "I'm getting… attached." Slade closes his eyes, "I can't let myself get attached… can I?" Slade feels Raven move in his arms and his face looks coldly to his hands, only before holding Raven tighter and closer, 'What… what am I doing…'

Wintergreen watches through the crack of the door, something of a grin he turns letting the door cracked open, "Finally, perhaps the master can stop having those "shadows" haunt him so." Wintergreen chuckles, "I can't possibly see what could go wrong now."

…Airport…

The plane lands, one large man exits with his hair parted down the middle in two sides, brown hairs with the muscular figure hidden in a large brown trench with black shades hiding his face. His snarling face causes the man there to check the plane to cringe, soon the figure stomps loudly to the final step, "We…" the attendant makes out finally, "Welcome to Jump City Mr. De Farge."

I like to give some characters voice talents since my story Too Much Red, so with De Farge I have one voice(Wade De Farge, voiced by Clancy Brown, from roles such as "Kurgan from Highlander" or "The Instructor from Starship troopers")

De Farge turns back his face of a snarl, "Are you trying to say, if you didn't welcome me, I would not be welcome?" the attendant gulps as the large figure looms over him, the heated snarl makes to a grin of hatred, "Am I to answer to you, to you like him? Like my damned big-brother, always on my back, better than me, better than anything I ever could be?" De Farge drops his two large bags and grabs the attendant, springing him up to his tall level he crunches the neck until a female hand grips his arms, De Farge looks, and grins dropping the now urinating attendant.

(Lady Death, voiced by Gillian Anderson from "The X Files/ Dana Scully")

Lady Death simply has a brown trench and hat hiding her form, she pulls the arm down asking "De Farge, could we please not cause a scene?"

De Farge nods, "Yes, I'm sorry my lady. I almost forgot why we are here." De Farge grabs his large bags as he follows his lady, "I almost forgot we came to see… my dear brother."

Note: OO Oh no! Another twist! Who out there can see where this is going? Could Pakkurath have something to do with this De Farge character? (Cough) count on it (Cough) I know one person, an Infamous One at that might be pleasantly excited to see this character… let's see if we know Titans history well enough or, preferably Slade history. I always liked De Farge, jealous weapons expert, and oh so much more… This fic will be a two-story piece un less I can cram all the story in one, but that would seem a bit much, a sequel will be very rewarding. Also, I was doing both the chapter for my friend WHILE I wrote that last chapter; if a word got lost it was because I shifted between the two at the same time sometimes missing my place in some spots.

Thanks to all the reviewers, I'm trying to put some more humor in before the action-packed conclusion. The next chapter we have REAL romantic scenes with our two little dark-hearts. For all you waiting long and diligently, I inform you, a kiss… is in the works… Hope to see you soon! Please Read and Review! Thank you all the readers that have been reading and also those who have reviewed, I am glad so many like this story!
