Due to some reviews that I've received, I feel it necessary to put this.

I'm not saying that I think that if you're good you go to heaven, if you're bad you go to hell, if you're a monkey you go to the zoo, etc. I don't know what the Titans' religious beliefs are, but if order to not offend anybody, I decided against putting my own religious beliefs into the story and decided to go with what I know a lot of people believe. So I apologize if I offend anybody or insult their beliefs, because that's not my intent at all. The problem with stories involving heaven and hell is that it's pretty much impossible to not get some sort of religious stuff tied into it.

So hopefully that clears some stuff up for you guys

-Fate-

He was falling...

But just for a moment.

Gar grabbed the edge of the building, gritting his teeth as he swung his other hand up, trying to get a grip on the roof of the apartment building. Hatred smirked as she leaned over the edge, glaring down at him with a crimson gaze.

"I could kill you right now. And then, you'd be doomed to Hell, just like your little girlfriend."

The blond-haired teen's eyes narrowed as he tried to pull himself up, his breath catching in his throat as Hatred placed one foot on one of his hands, a malicious grin playing at her lips.

"Bye bye."

Gar's pale blue eyes widened as a leg suddenly appeared, slamming into Hatred's side. An expression of surprise and pain fleeted across the demon's features as she flew to the side, crashing against the ground. Kori stood a foot or two away from where Hatred has just been, her emerald eyes narrowed as she reached down to pull Gar up. The boy blinked once as he looked up at the redhead, wondering why he was so surprised at the girl's strength. Probably because she's just a normal girl here, I think, he reminded himself as Kori's hands gripped his wrists, pulling him back up onto the roof. The two looked over at Hatred, who was slowly pushing herself to her feet. The demon scowled, glancing at Gar, then Kori, and smirked.

"I'll be back."

And with that, she vanished. Gar turned back to Kori, grinning at her with gratitude.

"Hey, thanks--"

He was cut off as Kori's fist collided with his jaw, sending him sprawling out on the ground. The red-haired girl glared at him as she reached down, grabbing the boy by the collar of his shirt and lifting him into the air, their faces mere inches apart.

"What the hell did you do, stupid! Raven's down there crying, and I come up here to kick your ass and find you hanging off the roof? What kind of crap are you trying to pull?"

Gar stared at her, still stunned from the punch, as a trickle of blood trailing down his chin from his recently split lip. Kori shook her head with disgust and shoved him away, letting him fall back to the ground.

"You're pathetic."

The blond slowly pushed himself to his feet, reaching up to rub his jaw with one hand as he silently watched the redhead storm back to the stairwell, folding her arms in front of her chest and hunching her shoulders.

"Kori?"

The girl froze, one hand on the handle of the door as she turned her head to glare at Gar.

"What do you want?"

Gar almost winced at the way Kori's voice slapped at him, almost the same way her hand had just a moment ago. He almost regretted speaking as he slipped his hands into the pocket of his jeans.

"Um, I was just wondering what happened to Raven. I didn't mean to make her cry or anything."

Kori's expression softened as her hand slipped off the handle of the stairwell, and she turned to face him, standing in her spot for a moment before she walked towards him. With waist-length red hair, bright emerald eyes, and a slim figure dressed in a purple mini skirt and a black tank top, she looked like a model, but all Gar saw was a tall, strong young woman who had given him a bruise on his cheek and a split lip in one day. Kori stopped a few feet in front of him, her arms hanging at her side as she looked down at him.

"She'll be fine. She's just a bit confused right now, I think. Me and Richard and Vic are the only people who've ever really cared about her, and then some stranger shows up and says that he gave up eternal happiness to try and save her? It's probably a bit of a shock for her."

Gar's gaze traveled to the ground. He knew what had happened to Raven in his universe; she'd grown up shunned from the rest of Azarath, hidden and looked down upon for reasons beyond her control. She'd been her own jailer; if someone made the mistake of getting her mad, she'd have to pay for it with the destruction she accidentally caused. But in this world, what had happened? She wasn't a demon here too, was she? Had she grown up on Earth like any other child? And if so, what had happened to her? Gar's thoughts were interrupted as Kori reached out, grabbing him by the ear, and grabbed the door to the stairwell, flinging it open and dragging him in.

"Don't stand there like an idiot, get down there and apologize!"

Even though his jaw was throbbing, his ear stung, and his cheek was sore, Gar still somehow found himself amused at how much of a contrast there was in personality between Kori and Star. He stumbled silently along after the girl, wincing slightly as he was mercilessly dragged down several flights of stairs. Kori burst into the apartment, Gar's ear still firm in her grip. Richard and Vic looked over in surprise, matching frowns on both of their faces. Neither spoke for a moment, content to merely glare at Gar, before Richard finally spoke up.

"She's in her room."

Kori let go of Gar's ear, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then let out a yelp as the redhead planted her foot against his back and shoved.

"Hurry up and say you're sorry, dumbass!"

Gar winced slightly as he stumbled down the short hall, stopping in front of the only room with a closed door, which he guessed to be Raven's. He glanced nervously down the hall, realizing that Kori, Vic, and Richard were all carefully watching him, and he swallowed before knocking on Raven's door.

"Um, Raven? Can I talk to you?"

For a moment, there was no answer. Then the door opened a crack, and Gar could see one dark blue eye staring at him. He smiled a little at her, reaching up to scratch the back of his head.

"Uh, hi. Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out and stuff."

The door opened another inch or two, and Raven glanced down the hall at her friends before she turned to Gar, grabbed him by his shirt, and pulled him into her room. Gar's eyes widened as the dark-haired girl quickly shut the door, pressing her back against it and staring at him with wide, dark eyes that perfectly described the 'deer-in-the-headlights' look.

"I've been having really, really weird dreams lately."

Gar's face contorted into a confused frown as he watched her, her gaze traveling to the floor.

"Before you came, I... I don't know. I had a dream, and I think you were in it, and... it was weird. I was me, and you were you, but at the same time we were different! I don't know!"

Raven sank to her knees, holding her face in her hands. Gar knelt down in front of her, reaching out to rest one hand on her shoulder. The girl looked up, strands of her onyx-toned hair falling into her face.

"It's okay, Raven. I'm here to help, remember?"

Raven stared at him, and then almost tackled him as she wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. Gar felt himself blush slightly before he carefully wrapped her arms around her, rubbing her back gently as he felt tears soak through his shirt.

-Fate-

"You failed?"

Hatred scowled as she folded her arms across her chest, staring up at the four crimson eyes glaring down at her.

"He wasn't alone. He had one of the metahumans."

The eyes narrowed, then closed for a moment before reopening.

"Do you realize the trouble I have gone through to get this far? The Church was not very willing to murder the only child of their Master. It took quite a while to convince them. The girl should have been mine, but they made the mistake of killing him as well, to cover it up. I will not tolerate any more slip-ups. My daughter's soul will suffer for what she has done, do you understand?"

Hatred nodded, bowing deeply.

"Of course, Master."
