I do not own the teen titans or any DC universe charecter.

Chapter 12

The Titans were always able to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet when most of the villains were either in hiding or already locked up. Yes, there was the occasional anxiousness and anticipation for the thrill of fighting evil wherever it waved its fist at anything that was even remotely pleasant and ruined The Titans otherwise perfect day, but yet whenever they could they would enjoy a calm night of patrol, maybe a movie or two. Tonight seemed like the night of calm and rest, unfortunately this was not the case. They were all struggling to take down a villain that was smart enough to make a suit that turns light into a weapon of mass destruction, yet was not smart enough to lay low for a bit after escaping prison. Dr. light was giving them one hell of a fight, every attempt to get close to him ended with either a concussion or flying into the nearest structure, which more than likely would be the side of a building, or maybe a car, it is a city after all.

" Who could stand before the might of Dr. Light!" he said lifting his dramatically after blasting Cyborg to the ground." When the hell did he get this tough?" Wize said blocking a beam of light that made him stumble back from the impact.

" YOU!" The annoying Doctor pointed at Wize in fury." Do you know what I went through after we last met!" He was now giving him a hysterical creepy twitchy eye look." I'm sorry, you may not be able to tell, because of the mask, and all, but let me tell you I truly don't care." Wize said blasting a beam of ice at him in an attempt to subdue the Doctor, which resulted in the Doctor cartwheeling his way out of danger leaving a few cars and a stop sign behind him frozen." YOU HAD ME ARRESTED FOR DEMANDING A FAIR PRICE ON A TURKEY!"

"No, I had you arrested for blowing up half a store, and setting 13 police cars on fire." Wize said chasing after the light wilding lunatic." I've been waiting for a chance to pay you back for that incident…" He said while taking aim at Wize." Let's see how you like being locked up in a small room." A bright orb formed in his hand that flew at Wize's general direction. Wize quickly formed a bright blue bubble around himself, but much to his surprise the orb flew over his head then expanded to a prison of light." Well this is new." Wize said dispelling his own shield." Yes! Now suffer as I did!" after saying that the prison began to shrink in size closing in on Wize." A crushing prison of light, I'm impressed, but you forget one thing about me." Wize said walking up to the end of the prison placing his hands on the bubble of light." It takes alittle more than that to bring me down." The light began to gather into his hand slowly setting Wize free." Oh, well…AHHH!" Dr. Light screamed, running the other direction." Have a taste of your own medicine!" Wize brought his arm back with the orb baseball pitcher style, taking aim at Doctor Light." I WILL NOT BE DENIED!" Dr. Light said blasting the top area of a parking garage over Wize causing a bus to fall from the top of the parking garage towards Wize. Wize stopped mid throw to see the bus, and knew he wouldn't dodge it in time." This is gonna hurt-*BAM!*" the bus landed front first right on top of Wize." WIZE!" Robin said while he and Beastboy run on scene. Raven flies by seeing what had happened her eyes glowed bright as he hands with her usual dark aura." This ends now!" She raises her hands over her head and began her Chant." Azarath, Metrion, ZIN-"her chant was interrupted by a blast of light, curtsy of Dr. Light. She fell to her knees dazed by the blast, but something worse was taking place. She felt something stirring within her, something that slumbered dormant for many years. Doctor light confidently took a few steps towards her grinning in triumph." Stay away…"She said bringing her head." What's the matter, Afraid of the light!" He mocked her, which will be his greatest mistake of his whole existence. Raven turned around her eyes glowing a demonic red. Dr. Light backed away seeing Raven quickly rise to the air with dark tentacles proceeded from her cloak and began to Drag him into the darkness." NO! PLEASE NO! IM SORRY-"His voice now muffled as he was completely consumed by the darkness." WHATS THE MATTER! AFRAID OF THE DARK?" She said a satisfied grin of bloodlust." RAVEN STOP!" Robin called out trying to reach out to her before she did something that she might regret. Raven regained her senses falling down to her knees, dazed and tired. The side door of the bus open, and came a tumbling Wize hold his bleeding head." I thought a bus can't be parked in a parking garage." You ok man?" Cyborg asked helping Wize stay on his feet." Yeah, I just had a bus fall on me, I'm just peachy, and in fact it actually tickled." He said bitterly." Really? Then what's that then." Cyborg said pointing at the blood coming from Wize's head." Jam?" Wize said with a smile." Nice try." Cyborg replied with a smirk.

"You try being this funny with a concussion." Wize said walking to the group towards Raven. Wize looked at Raven with her head low. His then glowed a slight tint of green as he felt something a mist." That can't be right…" he stopped right next to Robin." You know you're lucky you went through the windshield otherwise your injuries would have been worse." Cyborg continued. Wize watched as Beastboy stepped towards Raven and cracked one of his silly jokes only to see Raven growled loudly at him with glowing red eyes, pushing him out of the way as she walked away from the group.' It can't be…' Wize thought to himself watching Raven walk away.' That was Devil magic…. Could she be a Nephilim?'

He then turned to see the traumatized Doctor cradling himself." It was so dark…so very Dark…"

(Later at the tower)

"How is this possible?" Wize asked taking a seat in his special rolling chair, near his work desk, in his ever so cozy room." Is this a hypothetical question or a literal one?" Said the now appeared angel of Mercy. Wize glared at the being with great annoyance." Well, so much for lightening you up. I thought you used to like my jokes." She said with a smile." Oh now, you want to joke? Wait, don't change the subject!" The angel chuckled lightly at the young Darren's attention span." It's great that you're in a great mood and all, but would you mind explaining why I sense devil magic within one of my friends?" Said Wize, leaning back in his chair. Her laughter ceased at the severity of the question." Are quite serious?" She asked with much concern." Very, she nearly killed a guy earlier, and her aura was unmistakable. It was Devil magic from an outside source." Wize said rubbing the bandages around his head." I fear I have no wisdom to offer you. Yet if this friend of yours is indeed what you say she is…" She looked at Wize sadly." I will not." Wize said turning to the wall." Darren you know how dangerous they are. If she is what you say she is, she must be dealt with." The Angel said sternly." If she is what I say she is, then why did it not come up on my senses beforehand? Why now? I will not take any action until I know more." Wize said taking off his mask." I hope you are right about this. Ill seek guidance from the all-knowing one on your behalf. "She said before disappearing." Thanks a lot." Wize said with a sigh, beginning to change into his night cloths. A simple black T-shirt and sweat pants was his selection, after a hard day of crime fighting and having a bus fall on him, some much needed rest would surely take place. He left his room and turned down the hall to the direction of the kitchen. It would seem to be a very uneventful walk through the Titans Tower that is until He saw Raven walking passed him with her head held low, her expression hidden under her hood. Wize stopped in his tracks as his senses began to act up again. His eyes glowed a light tint of green, the atmosphere seemed heavier than usual and hall seemed darker than usual." Raven…" He said lightly catching her attention." What?" She said, her tone low, but the harshness still evident." How are you feeling?" Wize said still facing the other end of the hall; he didn't want her to see his eyes acting up." I'm fine, now leave me alone." She said with her annoyance evident." Really? Cause it didn't seem that way earlier it seemed-"

"Mind your own business!" She interrupted raising her tone, now growling with every breath. Wize turned to see a very dark, a very dense aura trying to push through Raven. What he noticed most is the fact that she had her own aura pushing the darker aura away." Raven-"Once again interrupted, except not with words but by Ravens hand around his throat pinning him up against the wall her aura darker than usual blazing around her, her once dark purple eyes glowing bright red." I SAID MIND YOUR OWN BUINESS SON OF SETH!" She said, with her sounding as if someone was speaking just over her voice. Wize grabbed hold of her hand attempting to pry her hand from his throat feeling her nails digging deep and a tightness in his chest, his lungs demanding air. Wize then glared at her with his eyes shining a bright yellow causing her to retreat back with a shriek; falling to her knees she brought her hands over her head. Wize coughed and took in slow deep breaths against the pain of his neck. Raven looked at Wize with uncertainty.' What happen? I lost control but then a light…the darkness. It felt far way.' She thought as she quickly got up to her feet, and walked away in the direction of her room." Well, that could have gone better. Then again, it could have gone worse." Wize said getting up to his feet then continued to the kitchen." I need some water…" Wize said with a cough as he rubbed the area of his neck.

(The next morning)

Wize was sitting at the table in-between Cyborg and Starfire, Robin of course sitting on the other end of the table next Starfire, Beastboy was at the stove cooking something that smelled very unpleasant." Alright, who wants tofu eggs, and bacon?" Beastboy said filling Cyborg plate first, followed by Wize, and Starfire." I see our discussion of you being many of the animals that eat other animals didn't do any good on changing your diet." Wize said poking the food with a fork." I have no idea what you're talking about." Beastboy said, filling Robin's plate with food." Oh of course you don't. God forbid you hear anything logical, and fallow through. How else would we eat our everyday dose of delicious food substitute?" Wize said taking a sip of some coffee. "Such a meal as this, usually symbolizes matrimony on my home planet. Tell me Beastboy to whom are you betrothed?" Star Fire asked causing the Green Changeling to flinch nervously. Suddenly Wize felt the Dark aura from the other night. Raven then walked into the room over to the tea kettle and poured herself a cup of tea. Beast boy then walked over to her much Wize's dismay." Hey Raven, want some breakfast?" Beastboy said with a smile holding the food close to her face." No. Tea." was all she said taking a sip from her tea." C'mon! You know you want some tofu eggs and bacon." Tea." She said again. Wize saw the aura beginning to form around Raven again." Um, Beastboy maybe you should…" Wize tried to intercede yet failed in his attempt as Beastboy tried to assert himself again." C'mon Raven-"

"I Said NO!" Raven said causing the eggs in the pan to explode in Beastboys face. She then walked away down the hall not even bothering to finish her tea." You should go apologize." Cyborg said breaking the silence of the moment." Why should I apologize! I'm not the one who turned breakfast into a warzone!" Beast boy said angrily as he wiped some egg residue from his face and hair." you should know better not to mess with the girl after what happen yesterday with Dr. Light." Cyborg replied crossing his arms. The argument continued till they finally convinced the little green shape shifter to apologize. Wize and Cyborg decided to accompany him for their own reasons. Cyborg wanted to make sure BB apologized, whole Wize wanted to make sure Raven doesn't kill Beastboy. As they reach a door clearly stating that it was Ravens room due to the fact that it was written for all to see. Beastboy gingerly knocked on the door nervously." Well, no one's home I guess I'll come back some other time!" Beastboy said turning leave, but was stopped by Cyborg." You got to knock harder than that for her to hear you BB." Cyborg then proceeded to knock on the door causing the whole door to fall into Ravens Room leaving all three wide eyed in awe." Damn, Cyborg." Wize said taking a step into the room trying to lift the door back into its place. Both Beastboy and Cyborg fallowed in to assist Wize." Raven? Sorry for knocking down your door." Cyborg said looking around the room." We should go…" He then said seeing she wasn't there to begin with, and the fact the room gave him some creepy vibes." No way man! This is our only chance to learn more about Raven." Beast boy said walking into the room near a small table full of strange trinkets." Dude this is Ravens room. We shouldn't be here." Cyborg said nervously looking around frantically making sure Raven truly wasn't in the room.

Beastboy then picked up a hand Mirror from the table looking through the mirror." Wize then felt the dark aura coming from the mirror and manifesting itself." BEASTBOY, DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Wize ran next to Beast boy." Dude Relax!" Beast boy said turning back to the mirror to see four glowing eyes in the mirror." DUDE!" Beastboy yelled as black claw shot from the mirror taking hold of Beastboy and Wize." Cyborg!" Wize called out to his Cybernetic ally." What the Hell!" Cyborg said taking hold of Beastboys leg in an attempt to pull them from the mirror, only to have himself dragged in with them. At first all they could see was Darkness then they appeared in a realm filled with bright red stars with no large landscape in sight with the exception of some floating paths, and rocks. Beast boy landed on one of the paths. Unfortunately for Wize though as he missed the floating path and continued down into the obis." Wize!" Beastboy called out from the top of the path but lost sight of his friend as he fell, even his scream couldn't be heard any longer. Wize continue to fall into eternity occasionally trying to get a hold of one of the float rocks. He then saw another floating path a quickly shifted himself to fall close to it." Alright, it's all or nothing!" Wize said as he came close to the rock. He summoned his sword to his hand stabbing it into the rock causing a swift slide against the end of the rock until it came to a rough halt." WHOA! Saw my life flash before my eyes!" Wize laughed nervously as he climbed up to the path." Where am I?" He asked as he took in his surroundings. He then sensed the dark aura again down the path he landed on." I have a bad feeling about this…" Wize said as he began to walk down the path.

(On the top of Titans Tower)

Robin and Starfire decided that they should check up on Raven, after the morning incident with Beastboy. They walked to the roof of the tower to her meditating in the direction of the sunset. They slowly approach her cautiously as to not upset her

." Hey, Raven just came to check and see if you were alright, you know about what happen this morning with Beastboy." Robin said, only to then see Raven let out the creepiest laugh that he has heard sense the joker." Excuse me." Raven said as she touch down to the ground then proceeded back into the tower leaving both Robin, and Starfire dumbstruck.

(Back in mindscape)

Wize continued to walk only to see a giant site of ruins with giant statue of what looked like a knight kneeling before a doorway. Wize took in the landscape until he saw something orange hiding behind one of the rocks, lightly chanting' please don't see me, please don't see me.' He walks over to the rock only to hear a shriek and sharp kick in the groan which quickly made him fall to his knees." Who are you!" Said the orange cloaked figure. Wize couldn't answer for the fact of that he couldn't speak without his voice sound high pitched and incoherent. He looked up shocked to see none other than Raven. Except with glasses." What the hell? Raven?" Wize asked as he struggled back to his feet." The one and the same you simpleton! Now answer my question!" She said sternly adjusting her glasses in annoyance." You really don't know who I am?" Wize asked looking at her strangely." Of course I do! You're in the shape of that idiot yet you may or may not be Wize." She said crossing her arms." You're kidding me right?" He said with his face obviously projecting his annoyance." You pass. Only Wize would ask the same stupid question twice." She said turning towards the entrance of the ruins." Anyway, you shouldn't be here. You should leave before you spread your stupidity through my mindscape." Raven said once again adjusting her glasses." Mindscape? So I'm in your mind?" Wize said looking around the ruins." Yes! I am one of my personifications of my own personality trait. I am intelligence." She said raising her head high in pride." Intelligence?" Wize said with a tired voice." Yes, must I repeat myself you dolt." She said in annoyance." I could have mistaken you for narcissism." Wize replied simply much to intelligent Raven's dismay.

" I'm surprised you even know what that means!" She shot back only to see Wize not paying attention to her." I'm sorry were you talking?" Wize said turning his head to her, which caused her to smack her hand over her forehead." Anyway I came here sensing an unpleasant aura around this area." Wize said as she fallowed." Unpleasant, how?" She asked suspiciously." Well to be blunt, Demonic…" He replied causing her to stop in her tacks." You should leave…" She said with her tone serious." Well that obviously means you know what I'm talking about, and in fact you know what's causing it." Wize said turning to her." It's none of your concern. I can handle it." She said trying to convince him to no avail." Actually it is. It case you forgot, I am a son of Seth, I am a servant of the Ancient Of Days, my duty is that of my ancestors, and that is to fight this kind of evil, even more so if its attacking my friends." Wize said sternly. She remained silent for a moment contemplating what he said." Were you the one who drove the darkness away yesterday?" She asked readjusting her glasses nervously." Maybe, keep talking." Wize said crossing his arms." It's out of control. Something clique during the fight against Dr. Light and now it got loose…" She said bringing her head low." What got loose?" Wize said then a giant red horned beast burst from the ruins behind them." Rage…" She said in fear looking up at the giant. She quickly disappeared leaving Wize to his own devices. Wize eyes glowed a bright green as he glared at the red giant." BACK FIEND!" Wize said as a bright blue wave of energy blasted from his mouth causing the giant to stumble back." I know you for what you are! And I shall bring your ways to naught! "Wize said summoning his blazing blade again." In the name of the Almighty! On guard!" Wize challenged as he swung his blade sending a fire bright slash at the giant. The giant brought his arms up protect his face from the slash which cut deep into its forearms, which of which caused him to scream in both anger and pain.

(Back at the tower)

Raven urgently walked to her only to see her door knocked down.' this can't be good.' She thought to herself more so when she saw her hand mirror on the floor." Oh no…" She said clenching her teeth, knowing that someone got into her mind she quickly put her door back in its place then floated in a meditation sitting position.

(Meanwhile within the mind scape)

Beastboy and Cyborg finally reached the portal to escape the mindscape with the aid of dopey, brave, and sad personality forms of Raven. As they are surrounded by all three Ravens at the gate to her mind. Beastboy being frustrated and tired of all the confusion yelled." Who are you guys?"

"I'm Raven." All three answered unanimously." And you both are in serious trouble." Raven said flying in between the three of them." And I want you all to leave!" She said with fury.

"Raven!" Beastboy said happy to see her, with the possibility of escape from the strange realm." Beastboy! That mirror is a tool for meditation, and a gateway to my mind! NOT A TOY!" She said grabbing him by his suit collar. Beastboy laughed nervously, but then turned his attention to the present situation." Wait a minute! I wouldn't be here if you were just nice to us to begin with!" Beastboy said gritting his teeth. Raven sighed then took a few steps away from them." Look, don't take this personally, but there something's I prefer to keep to myself." She said looking around the landscape." Like what?" Cyborg asked to break the tension. Suddenly the Red giant burst through the ground holding Wize in his grip." I Said let go!" Wize yelled firing a beam of yellow light dead center of the giants causing it to shriek tossing Wize across the field." Let's just say I have some issues with my father." Raven said catching Wize with a black aura setting him down gently on the ground." So you're here too? Great." Raven said yet again annoyed." You got abit of a demon problem there." Wize said brushing the dusk from his uniform then pointed to the giant." That's none of your concern. I want all of you to leave." Raven said walking passed them." Leave? I think not." Wize said walking with her." I told you it's-"

"None of my Concerns, and I should go play in traffic, blah, blah, blah. I swear you and your smarty pants other half love the sound of your own voice don't you?" Wize said summoning his sword again." Would you just listen to me?" Raven uttered angrily aside to Wize." No." was his reply which didn't help her cause." As I told your other self, I'm not leaving till this thing is 12 feet under, and I'm definitely not leaving you to fight this thing alone." He said sternly as he turned to look her in her eyes." I don't even know if I can even beat this, what makes you think we have a chance." Raven said crossing her arms stubbornly." We're the Teen Titans, when have we never taken on something we can't beat?" Wize said smiling under his mask." Wize is right, were not going anywhere." Cyborg said stepping to Wizes side. Beastboy fallowing." Yeah what he said! We're letting you take this thing on alone." Beastboy said as they all stared Raven down who sighed in defeat." Fine then, we need a plan." Raven said staring at the giant as it still shrieked in pain from Wizes attack earlier.

" Well this is your mindscape, do you got any ideas?" Cyborg asked." Maybe, but I need you three to buy me some time." Raven said closing her eyes entering e meditative state." Fine by me." Wize said resting the blade over his shoulder." Alright let's do this." Beastboy said changing into pterodactyl." Titans GO!" Cyborg said as all three charged in buying Raven however amount of time she needed. The giant regained his composure to see the three young heroes charging in its general direction." RAGE IS SUPREME!" Its eyes glowed bright red as it fired a giant beam of red light at them." GET DOWN!" Wize said jumping in front of them raising his hand in front of him. A bright light of blue surrounded them as the blast seemed to bounce right off the shield." Cyborg now!" Wize said. As the shield comes down Cyborg takes aim dead center in between the giant's eyes then fired missiles from his shoulder guards. The explosion of the impact dazed the giant, other than that it just pissed it off even more than it already is, it representing Ravens rage and all. Beast boy then swoops down and begins to claw at its face causing it to grunt and shriek in pain and Wize and Cyborg blast its dead center, Wize with divine blasts and Cyborg with his sonic cannon. Meanwhile Raven was now surrounded by all her personalities and emotions. They all begin to revolve around her as a bright light consumed them all. Meanwhile Cyborg flings Beastboy at the giant location, much to the surprise at the giant Beast then transforms into a large spinning dinosaur which collides into the giant making it stumble. Wize stood in a high area then dived down head first at the stumbling, then flips last minute legs first into the face of the giant which ended with the Giant on its back with its bleeding from Wizes impact." Hahahaha the bigger they are the harder they-whoa!" The Giant swiftly sits up grabbing a hold of Wize and smacks Beastboy off with a swift swing of its wrist. BB makes a hard impact on the ground as the giant begins to crush Wize in his grip.

Wize struggles to get one hand free from the grip, as he gets one hand free he summons his blade then stabs into the Giants hand making it quickly release its grip over him. To slow his fall Wize stabbed down into the giants leg having the blade drag him slowly down to the ground which of course didn't go as planned as the giant flinched in pain kicking its leg out, and launching Wize over to his companions. Cyborg quickly jumped in His trajectory in an attempt to catch Wize." I got him! I got him!" Cyborg said as Beastboy found his way back to his feet only to have Wize land right on top of him. The giant loomed over them menacingly with a roar preparing to fire another blast of demonic red light." Not gonna happen!" Wize said as he stumbled to his feet with his eyes glowing bright blue. The giant was then knocked back by a giant wave of black aura. They all looked and saw Raven in White robes just as big as the giant." You will submit yourself now!" said Rave her eyes glowing brightly with power leaving her allies in awe." I WILL NOT! RAGE WILL RULE!" The Red Giant shot a wave of red aura, Raven counter with her own black aura. The collision was great as each wave battled for dominance. Wize walked up facing the direction of the rage giant the raised his hand towards it." Be gone…" he said as a bright yellow and blue wave shot from his hand making impact with the giant which made its aura cease as Ravens overcame it and consumed it. Soon the form of the giant change to that of a red cloaked Raven the burst into a bright white light that surrounded, the entered Raven changing Raven back to her old self. Wize the notices his senses couldn't sense the Demonic force anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief knowing the threat is over.

(Back to the tower)

"No! She said she was fine, we shouldn't bother her!" said Robin struggling to hold back Starfire to no avail due to her alien strength." Back what if she is in trouble and needs our help!" Starfire said trying to reach her hand to the door to knock. The door then slid open revealing all four team members smiling brightly of their hidden success.
