Raven and Robin stood alone in the hallway outside the medical bay.

"You want to start talking.", Robin stated.

"Yes.", Raven replied.

"Jinx and I had our talk as per her demands to release Terra. She wants to fight...well, not exactly me. What she thinks I can become.", Raven continued.

Robin nodded thoughtfully. "Do you know what she thinks that is?"

"She thinks it's the shifting form I took on after Go..., the Red X.", Raven informed. She paused a moment to gather enough strength to even talk about it without an episode. "She feels that if she fights that again and wins, she'll be at the top of her game."

"That's unacceptable.", Robin told her.

"No.", Raven continued. "You don't understand how bad this is."

"I guess you're going to tell me how refusing her didn't go very well.", Robin supposed.

"That too.", Raven agreed.

"Firstly, what you've probably already figured:If I had refused her outright, she would have attempted to caused enough atrocities for me to truly lose my hold on myself. The best case scenario would be not only the suffering of everyone she attacked to provoke me but the resulting fight between Jinx and whatever new skills she possesses (like her newfound ability to teleport) and whatever I become as well as possibly every Teen Titan in the world and whatever remnants of Hive are backing her right now."

"Secondly, there's the worst case scenario:", Raven continued.

"Excuse me.", Robin declared.

Raven closed her eyes. "In that form I had no control. Most of what I remember isn't want I did. It was that I didn't want control or discipline. I don't even remember wanting much of anything most people would consider to be good. Now that my oh-so-special birthday has passed, that form may try to invoke Trigon again."

Robin shook his head. "But we defeated him."

"Correction-I defeated him. Through the strength of our friendships, I managed to banish Trigon again. Not destroy.", Raven chided.

Robin leaned against the wall. "So you're saying that if Jinx manages to get you mad again, we're facing Trigon again."

"No. I'm defintely not saying that.", Raven informed. "When we faced him before, I wanted to stop him. I lent all of you my powers. That included shielding you from the first wave that changed the world into his vision of it."

"If that thing summonned Trigon, it's a whole new game. I would at least be his loyal, loving servant if not fighting him only for dominance or partnership. No one even inclined to stop him would be protected except for you."

Robin faked a look of surprise. "I guess you noticed that I was wearing the ring of Azar under my glove."

Raven smiled faintly. "No, I just assumed you were with how paranoid you are."

"Anyway, that's without the matter of whether Jinx's newfound teleport would be able save her from the world change Trigon's summonning would incur."

Robin nodded. "So if we don't stop Jinx from provoking you, I'm left alone fighting Trigon, her and you."

"A Trigon that wants revenge on you personally. And a somehow 'uprgraded' Jinx.", Raven added. "But knowing you, I think your guilt over failing me would be the worst though."

"Any thoughts on how Jinx is managing to teleport? While were on the subject.", Robin asked.

Raven reopenned her eyes. "I'm just guessing at this as a girl born with a difficult to control power and a thoroughly evil father figure, mind you."

"Remember how Brother Blood was using mind control to keep the Hive in line? Jinx probably wasn't trained in a 'here's how your power works' sort of way but in more of a 'commit my crimes' sort of way. Goth managed to unlock that thing from me with just his revelation. Who knows what he did to Jinx since he spent his time with her as the Red X. Jinx may not be even teleporting as we know it but using some previously undiscovered facet of her powers."

"Which would explain why she wants to risk her life fighting you.", Robin surmised. "So what did you tell her?"

"I promised to kill myself if she hurts random people.", Raven told him.

Robin didn't change expression.

"In exchange, she'll be spending time with me.", Raven continued. "Hopefully, we can change her mind before she changes mine."

"I have a plan.", Robin told her instantly.

"What is it?", Raven asked.

Robin looked into her eyes. "I can't tell you. "

"And you can't tell the others that anything is different. As far as they know, you dissuading Jinx is the plan."
