Black Sunday

The Titans don't know much about Catboy, plain and simple. His past has been preventing him from trusting the Titans. Against Raven's warnings, he trusts Trigon instead to grant him eternal happiness.

6. Temptation

Chapter 5

Catboy ran into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and began splashing water in his face. "That didn't happen," he said with every splash.

"But it did," a voice said.

"Who's in here?" Catboy asked looking around. He stared into the mirror, instead of seeing his own reflection, he saw a set of four red glowing eyes. Catboy listened. "And you are?"

"Scathe," the voice said. "I'm here to help you."

"Helping me by stalking me through the bathroom mirror?" Catboy sneered. "I don't trust you."

"Do you trust anyone? Even your own girlfriend?" the voice asked. Catboy stared into the mirror. "I can give you what you desire."

"Which is?" Catboy asked.

"Happiness," the voice replied. "You have power, looks, a life, but you lack happiness. I'm not Raven."

"The gem is none of your concern," the voice stated boldly.

"Fine," Catboy said.

"Come to the Church of Sebastian in New Mexico at twelve o'clock tonight," the voice said.

"Tonight is not a good night, or tomorrow," Catboy said.

"I know," the voice said. Catboy stepped back.

"You know," Catboy said. "Don't you..."

"Of course, tomorrow was the day that changed your life forever," the voice said. "If you come to the meeting place tonight, I'll erase April 16th 2001 from time." Raven had her head next to the bathroom door.

"No," she said to herself.
