"I said, 'Where Is My Sister'." The youth growled angrily. He saw the look of fear and confusion in Beast Boy's eyes.
"W...w...what? W..who?" Beast Boy rasped as the youth clenched his hand tighter around his neck. Robin didn't move, he did not want to cause the youth to do anything rash and hurt beast Boy.
"Where...Is...My...Sister." the youth growled angrily, "Where's Terra?"
Beast boys eyes, which held a fearful but intense fire, seemed to droop. They lost their fire at the sound of Terra's name as he remembered back years ago. She had given her life to stop Slade, and in her effort was turned to stone. Beast boy looked up into the eyes of this youth, he looked to be about their age. He had short black hair kinda like Robin's if he just let it hang down. His face was odd... it did not seem real, it looked perfect and at the same time normal, as if it was in conflict with it's self. The guy wore a pair of loose black pants made of some unidentifiable cloth, and same thing with the shirt. But as Beast boy looked at the person with their hand around his neck, it was his eyes that shook him the most. They were not normal eyes. They were red, but an ever shifting red color. Sometimes dark sometimes light, the color of blood or a darker pink. His eyes changed wildly, with no pattern to them save for their own randomness. But as Beast boy looked into his eyes, he noticed something. In youth's irises, around the pupil of each eye, was a pentagram that did not change with the rest of his eyes.
Robin stopped moving when Terra's name was mentioned. He to cast a sad look towards the ground. Finally a sound broke the short silence.
"She died." Beast boy managed to say, though it was obvious it pained him to do so.
The stranger's grip on Beast boy's neck released almost instantly. Beast boy fell to the floor with a thud and looked up at the stranger who took several steps back.
"She died saving the me, saving us. She died saving the entire city." Beast boy said aloud. The stranger was obviously distraught, was he really Terra's brother?
"How, what happened." Was all the stranger could say.
Beast boy didn't answer, and Robin could tell why. He cut in on his behalf.
"A madman was terrorizing the city and she stopped him. But during a fight underground, her powers triggered a volcano. We escaped because she used up all her power to stop the volcano. She turned to stone." Robin said in a barley audible whisper, though he was trying to speak loudly.
At this the stranger seemed to jump.
"Turned to stone..." The stranger said, his voice speeding up. "Are you sure."
Robin nodded, Beast boy just looked up at the stranger. A calming look descended on the stranger, as though a great weight had just been lifted off his shoulders. Beast boy just looked at the stranger in shock. He still missed her, he had visited her statue whenever he got the chance, He had loved her. But now this stranger, who claimed to be Terra's brother, stood and sighed at the fact that Terra turned to stone. The stranger then smiled and this nearly sent Beast boy over the edge, but he never got a chance to do anything. A voice of cyborg sounded over the intercom in the room.
"BB, Robin your going to want to get up here." Cyborg said, then the intercom went dead with a click.
Beast boy and Robin looked at each other then at the stranger. Robin stepped behind the stranger and handcuffed his hands behind his back, then shoved him into a chair and hand cuffed him to that.Going even farther and cuffing him to the big steel desk in the room. They then headed towards the door.
"Hey!" the stranger shouted. "What happened?"
Robin stopped and looked over his shoulder, his eyes had a flurry of anger in them "You hurt our team mate." He said, then left the room with Beast boy.
The stranger looked at the exit door and smiled. 'Guess I went a little to hard on her.' He thought. 'Not my fault. she saw cute, she distracted me."
-----------------------
"Whats going on?" Robin said as he and Beast boy ran into the medical room.
"It's not good Robin. She is in a coma and I can't wake her up. She may never wake up at this rate." Cyborg said as he kept a close eye on the monitors.
"Then what are we going to do, we can't loose another member of this team." Robin growled angrily, his mind partially still on the stranger in the room and the talk about Terra.
"We are not sure Robin." Starfire said as she emerged from the room where Raven lay on a cot. "She is resisting all forms of healing formulas and will not wake."
Suddenly an alarm went off and Cyborg swung his gaze over the security cam of Raven on the medical bed in the next room. The stranger was in the room near her, slowly getting closer to the bed. Robin ran over to the monitor and looked at it in disbelief. He typed on the keyboard quickly and changed the view to that of the interrogation room. Nothing but a molten heap of metal that was the metal table and chair sat in the room. Without changing it back he rush into the room Raven was in, followed by Beast boy, Starfire, and Cyborg.
The stranger looked down at the girl from the side of the bed. She was pretty, though the way she looked currently was a big dampener on that respect. Her normally grey skin was a very pale and pasty white, her skin was cold to the touch, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she was taking ragged, but steady, breaths. The stranger mentally kicked himself, he needed to get more control over himself. He turned as the door burst open and the other Titan burst into the room. Before any of them could speak, the stranger started talking.
"Tell me, what are you using?" He said as he walked over to the IV drip and took it down.
he looked at it for a moment before turning back to raven and taking the IV needle out of her arm.
"That's never going to work." the stranger said then sat down on the bed next to Raven. "Magic must counter magic. Have you tried this."
He reached out and placed his index and middle fingers on Raven's temples. At this point Beast boy jumped forward in an attempt to stop the stranger from hurting Raven. But was thrown back as a invisible wall of energy seemed to be thrown up.
"Stop!" Robin Yelled, throwing a birdirang at the stranger, but this to just seemed to bounce away.
"Oh calm down." The stranger said then turned back to Raven.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were a deep crimson and seemed to pulse gently. There was a sudden burst of energy and everything in the room was pushed back gently by about an inch or so that was not within 3 feet of the bed Raven was on. The red in the strangers eyes went away and he removed his fingers from Raven's temples. He placed his left hand above the gem on Raven's forehead hand flicked it gently. Almost instantly her healthy grey skin tone returned to her deathly pale face, her skin warmed up, a her sunken cheeks came up, and her breathing returned to normal. The stranger stood up and looked down at Raven with a small smirk on his face.
"She is still in a coma, but she looks better doesn't she?" He asked turning around to face the Titans.
"Who are you?" Robin asked after a long silence.
The stranger smiled. "Who am I? I am heat, I am fire." The stranger spoke slowly. "I am the warmth of love, the flames of lust, the burning of passion." As he spoke he lifted his right hand palm up and a small flame sprang to life in it, changing colors as the stranger told of what he was. "I am the fires of bravery, the heat of the moment, the flicker of hope." Then he closed his fist into a ball and opened it again quickly, revealing a small, white, sparkling orb floating in his hand. "I am the spark of life." he quickly turn back to Raven and into the glowing orb in his hand. A large amount of what looked like sparkles flew forwards and slowly descended onto Raven's body, disappearing moments after touching down. Then slowly, she began to open her eyes. The stranger looked back towards the looks of amazement on the Titans faces and smiled. "But you can call me Helion."
