"Um...why am I in handcuffs again?" Helion asked in a somewhat amused voice
"What do you mean why?" Robin said angrily, slamming his hand down on the table. "You hurt Raven. Is that not a good enough reason."
"But I brought her back." Helion said, leaning forward. "Is that not good for something."
Everyone was in the room, and they all looked at Robin. Cyborg and Beast Boy sat on either side of him, while Starfire stood behind him with a worried look on her face. Raven stood way in the back of the group, leaning against the wall ad not saying much, acting like her usual self at all times. But every now and then her eyes would flicker up and she would steal a glance at Helion. Every time she did something deep inside her mind would flutter happily, and she tried to control this new emotion that she was so unused to. It worked, but barley. These action went unnoticed by the rest of the group, except for Helion who himself also steal a quickl glance at the girl in the back.
Starfire placed a hand on Robin's shoulder. "He is right Robin. I believe that he did not mean to hurt Raven intentionally. It was an accident that accrued while he was looking for a loved one and he did make her better after." Robin's expression visibly softened at Starfire's words and he turned his head and looked at her. "Would you not do the same for me if such a thing accrued?"
Robin looked back at Helion, then back at Starfire. "I would." He said and placed his hand on top of hers.
Helion coughed "Ehem. So does this mean I won't be needing these?" Helion said as he placed the handcuffs, now removed, onto the table. Robin looked shocked. "Come on, you handcuffed be to a desk and a chair and I still got out. What made you think otherwise?"
Robin was at a loss for words until. "Who are you?"
"I told you. My name is Helion." Helion said as he leaned back in his chair, lifting it off the front two legs and putting all the weight on the back.
"Yes, you told us your name. But who are you?" Robin repeated, his temper rising again.
"Didn't I do this whole thing with a nice little fire show for you?" Helion said, remembering back then.
"Yes, but tell me real things. You Terra's brother, or so you claim. Then why did you become so relaxed when you found out she died?" Robin asked seriously. Beast Boy nodded in agreement.
Helion started laughing. Beast boy stood up when he did thins, fury in his face.
"It's not funny. I think its about time you left." Beast boy said angrily.
No one noticed it, but Raven's eyes widened slightly when Beast boy said this and a small whisper that was not her own struggled out. "No, not yet." No one but Raven heard it and she was shocked at herself.
Helion, who was the only one facing her direction saw the small reaction and stood up. He would leave if they really wanted him gone, he could find Terra without their help. But it would be easier to have them tell him where she was. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he looked at Beast boy. Judging from his reaction, he had had strong feeling for Terra. He could tell he was just her type. The small smirk persisted.
Helion bowed slightly."If my shadow has offended, think on this and all is mended." Helion loved Shakespeare, great guy. But could only write well when he was drunk. Have you ever read the ending to 'Midsummer Night's Dream', he was completely sober. "That she has but slumber'd there, while these years did appear. This weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream. Titans, do not reprehend: if you pardon, I will mend. Your friend lay buried, made of stone. But you here wish for flesh...and bone. It is a wish that I may grant." He paused for a long while, watching the confused faces of the Titans as the thought he had gone mad. Then he continued. "She's waiting one the other side, But you, her friends, think she has died. I can open the waiting door, with power gained in Nevermore. It's..."
At that moment Beast boy yelled out a rude interruption. He could not wait for Helion to finish talking in odd rhymes."YOU CAN BRING HER BACK!?!?!"
Helion stopped and looked up at beast boy with a smile on his lips. "I Had more, but yes...I can bring her back."

1 day has passed
Helion looked at his room in Titans Tower. When he had told them that he could bring Terra back they had let him stay, especially Beast boy whose feelings for him had changed dramatically. It was a very nice room that could fetch a high price in the market if the Titans were to rent out. One wall was entirely window stretching from one wall to the other. It gave him an extremely nice view of Jump city and he walked over to it and looked out for a few minutes before turning around. The rest of his room was pretty empty. He did not have much need for material items, except one. A Japanese Katana sat on a stand on the only desk in the room. It was his one item that he truly owed, having made it himself. He did not need to bring the rest. The room was very grey as the walls had not been painted. The only furniture in the room was a desk on the same wall as the door, a swivel chair, and a bed on the far side of his room with the foot of it facing the window. It was all very Spartan, perfect.
Helion rolled the swivel chair over to the enormous window and looked out for a moment. After a while he sat down in the chair and continued to look out the window into the now darkening world. His mind wandered to his time in Raven's mind, in Nevermore. He thought about his promise to Innocence, how he promised to come back and play with her. Though now her idea of play was much different now that she was Passion. His hand came up and he touched his lip as he thought about the last few moment in Nevermore. He was looking forward to keeping that promise. Then his mind rested on the topic of Raven her self. There was something about her that made her seem more real, more their, more...just more then the others. His time in Nevermore showed him what her mind was like, and it showed him her pain. He felt for Raven, though he tried not to. He could not get involved with another, not after what had happened to the last person who loved him. He told himself this, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not remove Raven from his mind. He tried to focus on other things as he looked out the large windows. The Titans were taking him to see Terra's statue tomorrow. He tried to focus on that, but Raven kept popping up. He was slightly unnerved by this, he only just met her a day ago. But there was no doubt in his mind that there was some part of Raven that liked him, Passion made that abundantly clear.
They sky was getting dark and the the lights in his room were turned off. As the outside world got darker, so did his room. After a while the moon was visible from his window and shone brightly, illuminating his room with a grey light. He heard a sound behind him, but did not pay attention to that as he kept his focus on the outside world.
"Why so sad John." said a smooth, seductive, feminine voice from behind him. He paid no attention to the voice, not giving it any heed.
A slim, smooth, elegant hand came over his shoulder and rested on his chest for a moment before it began to slid down, stopping at just above his waist. Helion didn't even flinch. He felt smooth silky lips graze his ear gently.
"John?" The voice said sweetly, warm breath tickling his ear. The seductive mouth then bit down gently on Helion's, then released it with a breathy laugh. "John, don't make me beg John.
"Leave. Now." Helion said, not turning to face the one behind him.
There was a sensual laugh behind him and he felt the hand glide along his waist. The woman then stepped around him and he was able to see her in the dim grey light. She wore a near see through purple robe that clung to her body in the most revealing of ways. The robe ended just below her upper thigh and left little to the imagination. The sleeves of the rob were tight at the shoulder, but at the wrists they were wide and gave the illusion of wings. A short sword was strapped horizontally to her waist. She had long blond hair that came down to her mid back, and her eyes were a deep, rosy, pink. She was an ideal image of beauty. The purple clad woman seemed to glide in front of him and sat on her knees. She then rose up to stand on he knees, though still on the ground in front Helion, she placed her hands on his legs.
"What will you do if I don't leave John." The woman said as she leaned forward, sliding her hands up Helion's legs.
Helion was silent for a long. "I will kill you." Helion said bluntly, continuing to ignore the treatment this goddess was giving him.
She laughed as he hands traveled up his thighs to his waist, then stopping at his chest. She leaned forward so once again her lips were right up against Helion's ears.
"God damns all sinners John." The woman said in her utterly intoxicating voice. "And from what I remember, suicide is still a sin in his book."
Helion was silent, his eyes finally resting on the woman's. They held eye contact, though Helion was not happy about it.
"Oh John, is there another? I can see it in your heart. You love her, but you don't know it yet." The woman said laughing, she sounded much to happy.
"Isn't it the reason your here?" Helion stated, angry at what she had said.
"You know the rules John." The woman said as she tore the front of Helion's shirt off and threw it to the side. Her hand came up over Helion's right pectoral, gently caressing a scar that sat on his skin. "I can't do anything till you can't hold out any longer. When you kiss her, I will be there, waiting." She leaned forward and licked the scar gently.
It happened quickly and unexpectedly. Helion had his hand on her throat, his fingers wrapped tightly, and he stood up. He moved her to the side and slammed her against the wall. She grunted as the violent act provided pleasure instead of pain. She just looked at Helion, a serene smile on her face as she felt the contact of his hand roughly on her neck. She hoped he would squeeze tighter.
"What are you going to do John?" The woman smiled, her hands came up and rested on Helion's chest, she felt the warmth is gave off. "You kill me, you kill all of them to."
Helion paused at this. Anger filled his whole body as he looked into this devil woman's eyes. His grip on her neck tightened and he heard her moan in pleasure. They just stared at each other for a long moment when he finally stepped forward. He kissed her. Gently at first, with his hand still around her throat. But soon the kiss deepened. She was much shorter then Helion, and she slid up the wall using the force of Helion's own body to hold her to it. She was even with Helion as they kiss. The woman was feeling purr bliss. The pain in her neck was exquisite as she kiss the man she would literally love to death. It was beyond anyone to feel the way she felt at this moment. But she soon lost control and began kissing feverishly, not noticing the movements of her right hand. Slowly her right hand drew the short sword from the horizontal sheath at her waits. She lifted it above Helion and paused for just a moment. Then with incredible speed, she brought it down, plunging it into his back. The blade emerged from the scar on his right pectoral and then entered the woman's chest, piercing her heart. He had no reaction to the pain in his chest, but she screamed into his mouth at they kissed. She felt the steel blade enter her and the pain mixed with her pleasure, and she enjoyed ever painful minute of it. Then without warning she twisted the blade and screamed again, Helion making not noise from the pain. She was in utter bliss as she felt the blade being pulled out of her chest and Helion stopping the kiss. As she sheathed the sword, her and Helion's faces were very close. She was so happy, but shocked at what had happened.
"Not even your own weapon can pierce you black heart." Helion spat as pulled his head back slightly, his body still holding the woman up against the wall.
"It will take much more then a simple blade to do me damage." The woman, adding. "Kiss her soon, I like having you to my self."
She seemed to lean forward to try and kiss Helion once again. But before their lips made contact she turned into a pink smoke and vanished.
Helion stood in the dark fuming with anger. He hated her, and someday she would pay for all the things she'd done to him. He swore to himself.
