I walked back to Slade's lair and I saw him watching his screens that displayed Jump City by hidden cameras scattered across the city. I drop the zinothium on the floor and I see Slade press a button his chair making every screen go off and the lights came on; I squinted and looked down so my eyes could get adjusted to the light, but when I looked up there was a fist. Before I had time to react I was punched in the face by Slade, I skidded a few feet before I walked over to him.
"What the hell was that for?" I yell while I walk to him, "I brought you the zinothium so what the fuck was that for?" Slade looked at me and tsked under his breath.
"Because my apprentice you disobeyed orders, and such horrible language." He replied,
"How?" I asked and I held up my hand as he pressed a button on his suit and I healed my nose, but in a split second my powers were gone once again.
"By talking to Robin when I specifically told you not to," He pressed another button on his suit and a screen flickered to life and showed me and Robin talking.
"Wow, that's it?" I glared at him while his eye narrowed at me, "So what if I did talk to him? I didn't know you were so heartless." I huffed, I felt anger radiate off of him.
"You are to listen to me!" He yelled at me, and I had to suppress a flinch as I saw his hand come down on my head, I heard him sigh, "And I have another mission for you, but you are going to have a partner."
"You got to be shitting me, right?" I asked while looking at him, but he moved his hands behind his back.
"No I am not 'shitting' you, and you and your partner are going to steal a new shipment of technology from the military." I sighed seeing no way around this, but wait a minute this sounds like I am going to need my powers. That's it! When I get my powers back I will prepare my spell and I will get out of here.
"So who is my partner?" I asked skeptically, I could picture a smile behind his mask.
"Glad you asked," Immediately after Slade said that Red X popped out of thin air in front of me.
"Oh, this day keeps getting better and better," I mumbled sarcastically,
"Now, you and Red X are going to the shipyard to get the shipment, I will allow you to use your powers for this, just don't screw up. You guys leave in one hour." With that Slade walked out, I sighed as Red X looked at me.
"Wait he has control over your powers?" Red X asked, but I pretended not to hear him. "Come on, please tell me," again I ignored him, "please, please, please, please, please, please, pl-"
"Fine!" I yelled, and he crossed his hands over his chest and he looked at me.
"Go on,"
"Fine he does, does that answer your question?" I yelled and began to walk off, but X flipped in front of me.
"How?"
"The suit I am wearing and a controller on his suit." I pushed my way past him, but he came in front of me again.
"And I am guessing you hate it," I could feel the cockiness of his voice leak through; I roll my eyes and brush past me. "And I could help you." I immediately stopped walking and turned towards him.
"And why would you do that?" I ask, and he shrugs
"For my own….personal reasons." I quirk and eyebrow, but I turned around and began to walk to the weapons room, "When you are ready to actually listen to this offer I have, you know where to find me." But before he could say more I slipped into the room; my thoughts racing.
One hour till I have to face them again, and one hour till I have to be ordered around once again. But this is so unlike Red X to lend me hand, considering he pretty much put me in this situation. I quickly began to restock my suit, still thinking of what to do.
One Hour Later
We arrived at the docks, and X was using his suit's vision to locate guards on the ship while I was blocking out every camera angle.
"Let's get this finished with," I whisper while Red X was taking out an 'x;' I could faintly hear footsteps echoing down the hallway. Red X threw the gadget onto the side of the ship and immediately a blue wave of energy surged throughout the ship. And I turn to Red X who shrugged his shoulders and responded back, "I disabled the system and it we can walk through without being suspected or stopped unless I press this button." He holds up his arm and on his suit there was a black panel with a few buttons on it.
"Okay then, let's go," we swiftly climbed aboard the ship sneaking behind crates as security patrolled the ship. We came to the crate we were looking for, "Perfect," I smile, and I slide my hands along the edge and find an opening, I grab a star and opened the crate.
"Stop!" My hand froze as I heard the too familiar voice, "surrender now!"
"Or what bird brain? Are you going to make us? Because if I recall you couldn't even take down one of us." Red X taunted, and I look behind to see the Titans staring right at me, and Red X was in front of me glaring at Robin.
"What?" I heard Beastboy say to Cyborg as he looked at us confusion written all over his face.
"I am as clueless as you are BB," Cyborg said as Starfire was lowering her green hands.
"Friend, please don't do this. Why do you work with the villains?"
"I-" I was cut off as Slade's voice boomed through my ear piece.
"Don't do it Raven! Or you know what happens!"
"Because Starfire they are both working for Slade and I bet he was zinothium for X," Robin narrowed his eyes at X who was casually leaning on a crate clapping his hands.
"Congratulations Traffic Light, it looks like you have it all figured out." Red X got in his battle stance; I reached my mind to Robin's as I used our connection.
Robin!
Raven get out of my head NOW! I want nothing to do with you, you almost killed me.
I know but I didn't! That should count for something, and I don't have time for this. You need to get out of here, my powers are limited and Slade has his bots in your bodies that's why I'm working with him. Please you got to believe me.
I don't care Raven you betrayed us! Your friends even me! Why would we ever trust you?
I broke the link looking at him with hurt in my eyes, which quickly turned into anger and I felt anger become restless.
"X, I have Robin take care of others, we have some unsettled business to take care of." I growled as X looked towards me as Robin and I glared at each other.
"Nope I have him," Red X teased as I mentally slapped him, "Ow, okay okay," Red X quickly takes out his 'x's'
"Titans Go!" We all charge at each other, I quickly back flipped out of Robin's bird-a-rang and I threw a smoke bomb on the ground blinding him.
"You're such a pathetic little boy," I taunt as I punched him in the side, he tried to hit me back but I disappeared in the smoke again. His breathing was labored as he tried searching for me,
"Says the hell demon," Robin laughed as I took out my ninja stars, "I mean no one likes you Raven after all of this, there is a reason why we are never going to forgive you for this." I gritted my teeth, Raven! Go get the technology NOW!
Shut the fuck up Slade this is my battle I am ending this.
*claps* Go ahead
I threw the stars as the smoke blew away and Robin quickly evaded everyone except for one which ripped his cloak. "You know I may be a hell demon but I have power beyond your imagaination Robin I could kill *snaps* you like that."
"You don't have the courage to ever do something like that Raven,"
"Wanna bet on that Robin? Are you willing to risk your life for that assumption?" I sneer as he brought out his metal pole while my hands were encased in black.
"Yes," I smile knowing his mistake,
"But are you willing to risk others' lives?" I ask as I encased Starfire's body in my magic as she tried to break free. I notice X taking down Beastboy and Cyborg easily; my eyes turned white as I chanted "Azarath Mentrion Zinthos!" My power began to squeeze her body tighter and tighter, as Robin was staring horrified as Starfire started to scream.
"Let her go!" Robin yelled he hit me in the back of the head breaking my concentration; Starfire fell to the floor unconscious. Robin rushed to her as I healed my head the blood flowing back in my body, "I am going to kill you!"
"That seems a little dark for you don't you think?" I ask sarcastically as his face scrunched up with anger, "Aw, did I hit a nerve?" I taunted as he shot his fists at me as I did the same. We were throwing punches back and forth but we kept dodging each other's throws. I could hear his voice boom through my head, I can't wait till you are dead, after what you did to me. How could Raven kill all those people? I broke out of his head looking dazed as I stumbled back.
"Stay out of my head!" He yelled at me, he grabbed my head and slammed my face down on the steel floor. I felt my nose crack as anger radiated off of me, I melted through the floor, reappearing behind him.
"Azarath Mentrion Zinthos," My soul body went into his as I brought his worst fears to life in his mind; his mother and father abandoning him when he was little, his little brother who died, and him as Slade's apprentice. I dropped my power as his screaming ceased, he tried standing up but he fell right back down. I walk over to him, all my injuries quickly healing, "I did not kill anyone Robin and I warn you something, I am more powerful than anyone on this team. Without me Robin all of you are nothing, next time you insult me you better think of the consequences; I am done trying to reach out to you guys, I will destroy you."
"You do-don't ev-even kn-know w-what we h-have pla-planned f-for y-you," Robin gasped out ashe tried regaining his breath. I quirk an eyebrow,
"You sure about that?" I ask, I bend down to him grabbing his head and looked directly in his eyes, my soul entered his mind again searching through his mind;
"I have the weapon to take her down, but I want my payment first." A mysterious figured said,
"Not yet, I want to make sure it works," Robin said as the scene took place in the Titan Tower with all of the Titans there.
"It will, she is out of control, and I want to help," The figure said,
"But we don't even know if she did! That tape was a fake! Raven would never do that!" I heard Bumble Bee shout out.
"I don't care, Raven is the worst villain we ever faced and it's time to show her we don't need her." Robin said as he watched the figure, "Isn't that right Malchoir?" Robin addressed the figure, he stepped out of the shadows.
"Correct, but this bracelet will block her powers rendering her useless, and she will be at your mercy. However, I do want to talk to our Little Bird before you send her to Hell." Malchoir stared at Robin as he shook his head, "Let's get started."
I gasped as I came back to reality, "No….how?" I barely gasped out as I Robin stood up looking at me,
"We aren't as stupid as you look we are, and we had a little help from Jynx." I backed up as stared on the floor,
"You think….I murdered innocents?" I whisper as he laughed,
"Yes, that video was convincing enough,"
"What video?" I ask, staring at him in shock as he scoffed.
"The one when you went on that rampage because anger got out of control and you killed all those kids in Australia all because Beastboy had exploded one of his stink bombs." Robin stated bluntly,
"I-I that wasn't me, that was anger and they weren't kids if you remember correctly they were prisoners in jail! I got out of hand I know but how did you find out?" I ask as I saw his masked eyes roll,
"When we fought you the last time I received a security tape from that prison, and you did kill kids, they were by the prison for a field trip." Robin said as I stared at my hands in shock, "I will kill you," I shook my head anger coming back.
"Not unless I have something to say about it," My power shot at him slamming him into the edge of the boat, I picked him up with my powers as I slammed him on the floor multiple times hearing his bones crack. "Don't you ever cross me Robin, you have no idea what I can do now." I threw him in the ocean making my powers drag him under few yards till the bottom of the ocean. "Stay out of my way," I encased all of the rest Titans and threw them in ocean dragging them further underwater. I watched the water as the air bubbles began to diminish;
"Come on I got the technology let's get out of here," Red X quickly teleported us to Slade who was standing over me.
"Now you know, what will you do?" He asked me,
"Kill them," I whisper,
"And how will you do it?" Slade asked,
"By destroying everything around them," Slade gave a satisfied sigh as he walked out of the room,
"See you both tomorrow," As he walked away, Red X came over to me,
"Wow, don't you look like a villain now." Red X joked as his body was closer to mine.
"Get away from me," I pushed him away, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer.
"Hmmm, I like them feisty." Red X purred as his head was by neck, I smirked.
"Then you'll love this." I brought my knee up and hit him in the groin and he rolled on the floor in pain,
"Next time don't make me look like a fool and NEVER go against my orders." I walked away, leaving a smiling, determined thief behind.
I let my mind reach out to Robin's, He bought it.
