As the man's menacing laughter began to die down, his new, keen senses could already smell the very distinguishable scent of fire, smoke, and brimstone. He stood from his place on the cobblestone floor, eyes closed, and a triumphant smile on his face.

"You have succeeded in your spell," rumbled a voice that echoed from every side. As the man opened his cobalt blue eyes, the looked up into two sets of larger red ones. The heat that surrounded him licked at his skin and a quick glance down confirmed that he was in fact standing on a pedestal in the middle of a flowing river of lava.

He knelt down, head bowing. "I have done as you requested, Master."

The voice let out a bone chilling laugh. "Good. Very good. Show me."

Once again, he stood, thought of something, and only seconds later, did a pure white wolf stand before the set of eyes. Another laugh escaped his Master and he shifted back to his human form.

"The Changeling is out of the picture then..." the voice began, but noticed his minion shift a bit uncomfortably. Red eyes narrowed dangerously. "What is it?"

"I had to change the spell a bit, my Master. In order for me to gain control of the Changeling's more...primal side...he is still with his powers..."

"But...?" the voice cut in sharply.

The man smirked, clearly pleased with himself. "His ability to tape into them, well, it must go through me. I can morph him into anything I..." He caught his slip and quickly corrected himself. "Anything you wish him to...the best part being, that whatever he does in said form shall also be controlled by your desire."

A long silence passed between the two and just when the man was beginning to get a little bit nervous, his Master spoke.

"I am impressed. This will certainly be most interesting. His powers will destroy, not only his team, but..." He laughed. "Yes, you have done very well."


Gar had stopped convulsing once Victor and the others had ran into the infirmary. He'd gone eerily still and pale...which was definitely something, seeing how he was forest green from head to toe. Everyone had held their breath as Victor had taken Gar's vitals.

After announcing that Gar wasn't dead and that he'd most likely be unconscious for quite some time, Victor decided that testing for whatever he could find was the only way to go about the mysterious happening. By the time Raven had finished explaining what had happened to Victor and the to Dick and Star, she found herself mentally and emotionally exhausted.

Despite this, however, Raven refused to leave, even during Victor's tests. Whatever had happened to Garfield was not good.

"You're sure you can't feel anything coming off of him?" Victor asked her for at least the tenth time. Raven simply shook her head. She couldn't feel any of his emotions from him, which was bothering her. Even when he teammates slept, she'd been able to feel their different waves of emotions come off them. It was the same when Garfield had been unconscious the first time around.

She'd heard of spells that could block an empath's powers, but such a spell being done from a far off location? A very powerful Mage would've had to performed it. But why Garfield? As that question roamed her mind for God only knows how long, Raven had managed to keep moving her chair closer and closer to her friend's sleeping form.

Raven had become so use to the stillness of the room and the different paths her thoughts had been taking her down, she hadn't noticed when Beast Boy's eyes had opened. He groaned and his hands moved to rub over his face.

"Man, what the hell happened?"

Without a word, Raven moved over to Beast Boy and enveloped him in a large hug. Stunned, Gar wasn't exactly sure what to do, but after a few seconds, he wasn't complaining and hugging her back tightly, letting a goofy happy smile form on his lips.


AN: Please R&R! I really want opinions about this chapter. I'm not sure where I'm actually going with this, so...yeah. A lil' help from you guys would be wonderful.
