Guys...I just...I...

TTG! made an episode...about how horrible the show is...and then Control Freak showed them the original TT show...and just...even the CHARACTERS agreed to what we've been saying for nine years now...#saveseasonsix

AU were Raven is forced to fight against the Titans but they don't know that and think she became a criminal.


Magic

The looks on their faces would be branded into her mind forever.

The look of hurt, betrayal, disbelief. She couldn't stand it.

But she had to, if she wanted to save their lives, she had to.

But she couldn't do this alone. She needed someone she could trust, someone who could help her do this; help her find a way to stop this. She needed a friend, a Titan.

So, when the sun went down and the clock struck midnight; she hid herself in the shadows and sneaked into Titans Tower to find the one person that would help her through this.

"Cyborg! Wake up!" She hissed, making sure to keep her voice low. Beast Boy's room was right next to the mechanic teen's, if he heard than she was screwed.

Cyborg groaned. "Whaddup, Dark Girl?"

He paused and blinked in confusion, realizing what was wrong. Raven was here, in Titans Tower, after she left them.

He jumped up and reluctantly aimed his sonic cannon at her, villain or not, she was still his little sister. "What are you doing here?" He hissed.

Raven's eyes widened and she frantically motioned for him to keep quiet. He had no reason to trust her anymore, but the pleading look in her frantic amethyst eyes told him otherwise; something was definitely wrong.

"I need your help."

He sighed and looked away. "Sorry, I can't trust you."

The half-demon bit her lip, not liking the feeling of hurt she got after those words left his mouth. "I know and I'm sorry. But this is serious!"

"When aren't you serious?"

She sighed. "Cy-"

"I should call the others."

"Wait!" She held her hands up and flinched when his body turned rigid, she had really messed up. "Cyborg, you and I both know I could easily take you down right now, but I'm not. I...I just need you to listen."

The mechanic teen froze, not quite sure what to think. This was Raven, his teammate, his friend, his little sister. He trusted her with his life, he felt like she would never do anything to hurt him or the others. That's why it hurt so much when she betrayed them.

But still, he couldn't bring himself to call the others without at least listening to her.

Cyborg sighed and lowered his canon, not missing the happy and relieved look on her face. "Alright, go ahead and explain."

She smiled gratefully but her expression quickly turned dark again as she started to explain. "Remember when we went after Slade and I just disappeared without a word?"

He flinched, of course he did. They had spent weeks looking for her, her disappearance having an effect on all of them, and when she finally returned; they were shocked to see her robbing a bank. "Yes."

"Well..." she looked away, a nervous expression on her face. "I didn't just disappear, I got taken."

"By who?" He frowned, he couldn't really think of someone who was strong enough to take Raven...unless it was her father.

She sighed. "You probably don't know her, she's more Wonder Woman's problem, really. Her name's Circe*."

Raven ran a hand through her hair and closed her eyes, mentally chanting her mantra to stop herself from destroying the whole tower. The thought alone of that so called 'goddess' made her blood boil. If Cyborg decided to help her, she was so having a 'talk' with Circe.

"Circe?" He frowned, she was right, never heard of her.

"Yes, she's sort of a goddess with really powerful magic abilities; which is how she managed to capture me. Apparently, she owed Slade a favor, and he called her in to get rid of me," she explained, eyes narrowing. "But after she sensed who I really was and how powerful I was, she decided to keep me and threatened to kill you guys if I didn't follow her orders. She'd just need to snap her fingers and you would've been dead."

"So...you're telling me that a supposed goddess helped Slade but wanted you for what exactly?"

The half-demon bit the inside of her cheek. "I'm half-demon, Cyborg, not only that but a daughter of Trigon. Circe said she could do a lot with my power, apparently her powers don't work on immortals so she can't hurt Wonder Woman; but I can. She wants to use me for the things she can't do. And because Azar 'blessed' me, she can't do anything to hurt me, so she came after you guys. I had no choice. She's making me rob banks for now, just to get me started; but she's really after world domination, it won't be long before she forces me to do something really horrible."

She jumped when he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see his soft smile. "What do you want me to do?"


The mechanic teen and half-demon walked around the park, finding it safer to talk there than in the tower. The dark sky would've made it hard for them to see if it wasn't for the full moon shining brightly.

"You know, I was actually surprised you asked me for help instead of Robin. Ya'll know each other better than you know yourselves."

Raven flinched. "Yes...well, he would do what was best for the team; even if he wanted to help me more than anything."

Cyborg whistled. "See? You just proved my point exactly, I bet he wouldn't think that. He was probably hurt the most by your actions."

She shut her eyes tightly. "Can we just...go back to the topic of Circe please?"

She knew how much she hurt them, they didn't even know how much it hurt her to betray them and actually fight them.

Cyborg glanced at her, worry in his eyes, but he just stayed silent and nodded.

The half-demon let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. You should probably know that Circe likes turning men into animals, so you should probably stay away."

"Good to know."

"Her powers don't work when she's near a herb called Moly; kinda like how Superman is with Kryptonite-" Raven froze in the middle of explaining and flinched. "She's getting suspicious, I need to go. Just remember what I told you and see if you can do something about it."

With that, a shadow raven took her place and she disappeared.


"Why are you looking up Moly?"

Cyborg jumped and turned around; he had been so focused on his work that he hadn't even heard his leader walk in. He decided to play it cool and shrugged. "You know it?"

Robin shrugged. "Yeah, Wonder Woman mentioned it once or twice."

He blinked. "Wait, you actually met Wonder Woman?"

"Sure, so did Speedy, Kid Flash and Aqualad." Robin nodded. "All of our mentors are part of the Justice League, we got to check in once in a while. Now, you still didn't tell me why you're looking up that weird herb."

"Curiosity," Cyborg lied. "I read it somewhere and decided to do some research."

Robin's eyes narrowed and he walked up to his teammate, crossing his arms. "Oh really? Where?"

Cyborg's eyes looked anywhere but his leader, which just made him look even more suspicious. "Well-"

"Hey dudes!"

"Friends!"

Robin stepped back and said hello to Beast Boy and Starfire, but both teens knew that this wasn't over just yet.


"Raven, dear!" Circe called, flipping her fuchsia colored hair over her shoulder. "I need you to go to the city and get something for me."

Raven looked up at her with hate clear on her face, she didn't even bother to hide it and Circe didn't care one bit. The sadistic sorceress even seemed to like it. "Why don't you do it yourself?"

Something flashed in her eyes. "I have you for a reason, little demon."

"I don't think so," Raven smirked and tilted her head. "I think you're just scared of the Titans."

Circe scoffed, a laugh escaping her lips. "Do you now? I can assure you that your little Junior Justice League doesn't scare me at all."

"Prove it. Come with me."

"I will."


Circe laughed when the Titans arrived at the store she was causing chaos in. "Oh, this is just adorable. You little children honestly think you can stop me?"

Robin frowned, he had never fought Circe, but from what he could remember from Wonder Woman, this was clearly her. This was a little too coincidental, her showing up right after Cyborg was looking up Moly; her one weakness. It was almost as if-

His eyes widened behind his mask. "Raven," he breathed.

The half-demon flew out of the bank and beside the woman, her eyes temporarily set on the Titans leader before she focused back on Cyborg; confirming the Boy Wonder's suspicion.

Cyborg nodded and Raven dropped the bags she was holding before flying towards the confused Titans and landing on her feet next to Robin. Her amethyst eyes holding nothing but fire and hatred as she stared at Circe.

The 'goddess' scoffed. "Really, little demon? You're leaving me for your boyfriend?"

"Leaving you for my family, actually," she bit back, not even bothering to correct her about the boyfriend part, despite Robin's flushed cheeks. Her usual monotone was laced with anger, which made Beast Boy flinch. He knew that tone, Circe was so going to get it.

"Friend Raven-" Starfire started.

The half-demon turned around and smiled. "I'm on your side, Star."

"Well," Circe sighed in mock disappointment. "You know what this means, Raven. I hope you spend enough time with your 'family'."

She held out her hand; ready to attack. Her immortal heart nearly stopped beating when Cyborg pulled out the Moly. "No.." she hissed, falling to the ground; unable to fly because of that stupid herb that somehow canceled all her magic.

Circe growled and pushed herself to her feet, but before she could do anything; Robin had thrown a couple of smoke bombs on the ground.

When the smoke cleared; Circe was screaming curses in Ancient Greek and tied up on the ground.

The alien princess flew towards her friend at full speed and hugged her tightly. "Friend Raven! I am of the most delighted to see you have not betrayed us!"

Raven's smile was a little forced because of the lack of air. "I...know..."

Starfire pulled away and smiled a bit sheepishly.

"Nice to see you back, Rae!" Beast Boy beamed, giving her a side-hug and surprised when she actually let him.

She hummed in response and raised an eyebrow. "Did you touch my stuff while I was gone?"

He paled and quickly pulled away, which was enough information for her. But she would let it slip...for now.

She turned to Cyborg and surprised everyone by hugging him. "Thank you."

"Anytime, Dark Girl, anytime."

The half-demon pulled away from him and turned to face her smirking leader.

"Well," he started. "I would say nice work; but I have a feeling you already know that..."

She rolled her eyes and smiled when he pulled her closer and hugged her. He placed his lips at her ear. "I'm glad you're back," he whispered lowly.

She nodded, her head on his chest. "Me too."


*I really needed someone strong enough to take on Raven, Slade is just a little overused and more Robin's thing, so I went with Circe.

Yes I threw in a little brother/sister bonding for Cy and Rae and the Robrae was minor, believe me, it surprised me too.

EDIT: I just proof-read this and all I can say is: What. The. Hell.
