Chapter 12: Instict & Insanity

"When you said we were going hunting, I didn't realize you would be joining us," Slade said somewhat surprised. Gar ignored him, he wasn't in the mood to argue with him. Truth was, he wasn't even in the mood to keep living, but he found, that among the many instincts that drove him, the will to survive was definitely the strongest.

"Just keep driving and shut up." Gar didn't ask where Slade had got the car, in fact he thought it better not to even ask.

"I thought you were a goody-goody," Rose said slightly confused. "You do realize that these knives and guns aren't just for show right, we will be killing people?" She seemed slightly concerned for his wellbeing, but perhaps it was just confusion.

"I know," he said; he looked tired. "My teeth and claws won't be for show either." Rose found the look in his eyes frightening, 'We at least enjoy it, he looks like he doesn't even care.' She thought she heard him mumble something: "What's murder compared to what I've done?"

"Azarath, metrion, zin… go away Gar," Raven got no response. She saw his shadow on the floor, his long feral tail's twitching was the only indication that he had even heard her.

She sighed as she uncrossed her legs and touched them to the ground. "I don't want to talk to you Garfield, incase you couldn't tell by the closet full of crap I dropped on you, I'm upset." She still got no response. She turned around to glare at him, but when she saw his face, she faltered. His face was human in almost all physical respects, except for the undeniable fact that everything about it gave off an impression that it was anything, or perhaps everything, but human.

Before she had time to even react, her arms were pinned above her head, by what appeared to be his tail, though it was too far up on his back. Their eyes were level and she looked into his. They seemed to scream to her, pleading for her to stop him. Then, suddenly, they stopped. He was struggling to contain the animal within him,but it was too late; the beast had won.

Sharp claws cut into her as he rended the clothes from her flesh. She tried to scream but as she opened her mouth, his closed over it. As she had done before at his kiss, she felt his heart. However, what she felt coming from it frightened her more than what he was doing. She had been expecting to feel unadulterated lust irradiating from his core, but she didn't. What she felt from him could only be described as a deafening silence.

Gar remembered looking in her eyes, he had seen a young girl with wild hair, and mismatched eyes staring back from within the reflection off her pupil. Raven had blacked out from the pain.

It was not long before he had penetrated her. As he writhed in his carnal extasy he felt a sudden impact on his back and heard wood splinter. This didn't even phase him, however his attacker was quickly knocked down by a mace-ended tail.

When he finished, he let her collapse to the floor, weak from his attack he almost did so as well. He did however revert to what he now considered the grounded state of his form. He staggered back and looked around. It took a little while to focus on his surroundings and truly comprehend what had just happened. He looked down and saw Raven, bloody and naked on the floor. He turned to run, he didn't know why he just couldn't stand what all this was saying. When he looked at the door he saw Kid Flash unconscious on the floor, blood trickling off of his brow. The smell was starting to make him sick.

He screamed, he couldn't believe what he had done. He began crying hysterically. The sent of sex, sweat, and blood, made him feel unclean. In his delirium he jumped out of the window and into the bay; perhaps desperate for water to wash away his sin.

Raven gradually began to regain consciousness. "ArE yOu Ok?" she heard a childlike and discordant voice ask her.

"I think so…" She really didn't know. Her body was wet with blood and sweat and her mind was still numb.

"dOn'T wOrRy," she could slightly depict the voice as female, "ThE mEaN sCaRy GrEeN pErSoN rAn AwAy OuT tHe wInDoW aNd GrEw GrEaT bIg FlApY tHiNgYs."

"Um…" She still couldn't quite focus her eyes to see the girl she was talking to, "you mean wings?"

"YeAh ThOsE," she said excitedly. "tHeN hE tHrEw Up AnD fElL aNd HiT tHe WaTeR aNd It WeNt SpLaSh AnD tHeN hE tUrNeD iNtO a SiLlY fIsHy AnD ThEn He AtE pElIcAn." Raven's eyes focused at the last part. 'Garfield ate meat?' she thought to herself. The girl gave a proud look to signify that she had recounted exactly what he did after leaving.

White light seeped through her wounds as Raven healed herself.

She looked at the girl in front of her and took in the details of her face. She appeared no older than herself and had several peircings. Her eye's were mismatched, one blue, the other green, and her long multicoloured hair was parted to the right, and the other side was shave. "Who, on Earth, are you?"

"I dOn'T kNoW, i ThInK i'M tHe SaMe PeRsOn EvErYwHeRe," she looked confused at Raven's question. Raven sighed.

"What is your name?" she asked in frustration.

"DeLeRiUm," she answered.

"And you are here, because?" Raven asked her impatiently.

"NoW wHy Am I hErE?" she seemed genuenly confused. Raven suddenly realized she was lying there completely naked. She was about ask Delirium to turn her head but found the girl to be making swirls of smoke eminating from her fingers turn into fish which proceeded to swim about the room. She tried to stand but found herself too weak to do so.

"Er, Delirium?" she asked the anthropomorphic personification of insanity. Delirium looked up at her. "Would you mind helping me get some clothes on?"

"oH SuRe," she said. One of the fish swam up to her and she put her hand to her mouth and whispered something to it. The fish swam over to Raven and popped like a bubble, streams of mist fell and surrounded Raven. When she looked down she was wearing one of her leotards but it wasn't the same colour, it was tie-died.

She didn't know why it hadden't happened yet, but the reality of what happened suddenly hit her like a ton of bricks. She began to cry and Delirium quickly moved to comfort her and in a motherly way layed Raven's head on her bossum. Delirium stroked her hair and began to sing a tuneless diddy, it had a soothing effect.

Wally West chose that moment to regain consciousness and awoke to see Raven and another girl on the floor opposite him. He also noticed fish swimming around the room, but chalked that up to having been hit with a hard mace-like object directly in the head. "Raven…" he said staggering up. His powers allowed him to heal from injury with visible speed. He walked over to her and picked her up. "I'm sorry, I tried to stop him," he said solemnly and set her down on her bed.

He looked at her again and realized it wasn't just a head injury, she really was wearing a tie-died leotard. He turned to look at the room, the fish and the girl were still there.

Before he could ask the girl who she was, she spoke: "YoU aReN't GoNnA tElL aNyOnE." It wasn't a request, and it wasn't a question. It was an order. Wally's eyes glazed and then refocused, "I promise." He turned and left the room; it would not seem to be of his own accord.

"Thank you, little sister," said Dream, who had just appeared behind his sister. Delirium turned around and smiled cheerfully.

Her smile faded however, and was replaced by seriousness when she spoke next: "jUsT kEeP tHaT mEaNy, Mr. BlOoDy OuT oF mY rEaLm." She then fell apart in a maelstrom of butterflies and fish.

Slade parked the car a block away and around the corner. "Hey, fearless leader, wake up!" Gar had not intended to fall asleep or remember the previous night's events. "The Church of St. Sebastian is just around the corner. It's time to kick some ass, Titan."

"I'm not a Titan, not anymore."

A/N:For those of you who are either slow or thick, he did rape her. Stay tuned folks I graduate next month and will thusly have a lot more time for writing when I do.
