Chapter 7
Crying Beliefs
Cyborg had to restrain himself from leaping across the table and injuring the woman who sat opposite of him. And she even had the damn nerve to have such a superior look on her face after the fucking trouble she put them through. His hands curled into a tight fist before relaxing again once a gentle hand was placed on his arm.
He turned to look at his girlfriend who smiled reassuringly at him before turning to glare at the hateful woman herself. Cyborg wouldn't admit this out loud to anyone yet, but his Bee was right when she said she should tag along. The second he seen Eve he almost rushed to hurt the brunette only to have been stopped by Bumblebee who was at the time also trying to hold onto the angry Tamaranian. Starfire was easily calmed down although upset, but he tried again but was stopped by both female Titans.
The room was filled with a suffocating silence before Cyborg slammed a fist on the table, causing the two female Titans to subtly jump, and Eve to merely avert her eyes onto his.
"Thou hast summoned me for some reason, speak thy minds or I shall remove thyself from such company as thee." Eve spoke with strong defiance and superiority that had all three titans curl their fist tighter.
"First off, you from New Yo'k, so sta't speakin' like it, a'ight." Bumblebee said purposely with a thick New York accent, before the others could speak up. "Second, you're not at liberty to start making demands. Now we have come here to make a deal with you-"
"Don't put it like she has a choice." Cyborg growled before leaning slightly over the table to look at the woman he soulfully despised. "You're coming with us today, even if I have to drag you by your hair by force. You're going to tell us what you did to Robin and Raven and then you're going to reverse it."
Eve eyes narrowed before letting her gaze turn to the other two female titans. She was familiar with the orange skinned one, she had been her original target, but that dark hateful witched got in her way, and Eve was sure she was the reason for her downfall. The dark skinned female titan was new to her, but according to research she was in fact a Titan from another team.
Her eyes bounced back to the Cyborg, and she very ladylike, she let out a sneer, "I do not take lightly to threats, foolish boy. Thou cannot and thou shalt not touch me, I know my rights-"
"I'm afraid that you misunderstood the situation." Bumblebee said leaning standing up; she walked around the table until she was standing at Eve's side, who refused to acknowledge her. Bumblebee sat herself on the table next to Eve and smirked leaning back. "You are now considered a super villain, and unlike regular human criminals you do not go through a trial. You are brought to a place as this, until the facility or those who captured you deem you sane enough to go free. We have the right to take you under our care, in certain cases, such as having you stop something you started, or reverse those you converted. You know a situation that you caused, what you did to two friends of ours." Bumblebee eyes narrowed and she slammed her open palm on the table ignoring the sting, it caused the brunette before her to flinch. "You are going to tell us what you did to Robin and Raven, you are going to reverse what you did to them, and then you are going to spend a very very long time behind bars." Bumblebee leaned over until she was inches away from Eve's ear.
"Or, you are going to die, and trust me on that one." She pulled back only slightly to stare in the brunettes black eyes; she saw a flash of nervousness and smirked.
Bumblebee hopped off the table, and returned to her seat. She leaned back in her chair, folded her arms and crossed her legs. "Well, are you ready to talk?"
Eve sneered at the dark skinned girl and wished to rip those buns from off the top of her head. She turned her head, folded her arms, ignoring the three younger ones. Disbelieving they had the audacity to talk to her in any way, to threaten her--"
A flash of white and blue beam surged pasted the right side of her face, with a green one beam following seconds later; both merely inches from scarring her face. She reopened her eyes which closed automatically at the brief life-threatening experience. She looked up to see the two Titans she has encountered earlier that day; they both had their hands up palms facing her. The robotic man's arm had a stream of smoke escaping it, and was charging for another fire. The orange alien's hand was illuminating bright green, as were her eyes, as she stood up.
"You have caused my friends and I much horrific pain today, we are not in the moods for games, glortbag; you will tell us what we want to know." Starfire fisted her hand and brought it down onto the table that separated them.
The oak table stood no chance against the inhuman strength that the Tamaranian possessed and Eve's eyes widened in fear as the table collapsed in half. Eve stood up from the table resulting in the three titans standing too.
"Thou hast threatened me for the last time," Eve said lifting her head proudly and smiling, "I know thy rights, and even thou cannot threaten me in such a way. The dare try to conceive me with lies, but I know it to be true not-"
"That's where you're wrong," Bumblebee said with a smirk of her own she flew above the broken table, until she was face to face with Eve who took a step back. Bumblebee, who remained in the air, crossed her arms. "You can keep on thinking those thoughts in your head all you like, but your future now lies in our hands. Do you understand where I'm going with this?"
"In case you don't," Cyborg said folding his arms; Eve directed her attention to him, with a scowl present on her face. "That means you have no rights, until we say so." Cyborg stepped forward, not caring about the table crushing under his mechanic boots.
"Enough talking," Starfire said standing up, she held up her hand directing the glowing green appendages at Eve, who breath hiked. "Tell us what we wish to know. We shall not ask again."
An angry Tamaranian was one not to be trifled with.
Eve eyed the three Titans, more so the one with the one pointing her deadly fist her way. She growled but understood the position she was in. She would have to go along with them…perhaps until she could gain what she lost. With this new resolution, Eve and she hid her smirk. She walked around the black female and sat herself in the chair she had abandoned, looking forward. "What is it thy wish to know, to the point of threatening this life of mine."
"So you are willing to talk?" Bumblebee asked suspiciously, wondering if the stubborn criminal was giving in too easily, for her likings, deep down she wanted to beat the answers out of her.
Eve wouldn't dare dignify that with an answer, and instead proceeded to inform the three begging fools what she felt was enough information they needed to know.
"Thy friends, Robin and Raven, they are under no spell." Eve said raising her eyes to meet Starfire who returned her hand to her side.
"Are you mentally deranged?" Cyborg hissed, fisting his hands to keep them from striking the woman who sat only a few feet away. "Of course they are under a spell, a spell you casted, and a spell you are going to reverse."
Eve eyes snapped to Cyborg's and she growled. "Take thy words as thou wish too, be in disbelief if thou want, but my words are true. Those two, and I shalt repeat no more so listen carefully, are under no spell. I cast no such thing."
Cyborg didn't hold back, he moved forward ready to slap the lying female across the face. Eve held strongly as the hand came inches to her face before it was stopped just before impact. Cyborg and Eve raised their gazes towards Starfire who stared harshly into Eve.
"You say they are under no spell," the alien spoke with precise words, "so then what have you done to them. You must admit you did something to them, for they are not the Raven and Robin that I know and love. The Raven and Robin I know, would not hurt their friends in such a way."
"If thou wish for me to explain, thou shalt not interrupt me."
"So talk, what did you do to them?" Bumblebee asked landing next to Starfire.
"I cast no spell on thou friends, for they are doing only what they wish to do."
"You are lying; Raven and Robin would never want to hurt us." Starfire yelled in horror at the thought.
"Enough with the riddles," Cyborg growled, "What did you do to them?"
"I did no differ from what was done to my followers." Eve stated.
"Which is…?"
"I merely rearranged the souls of Robin and Raven" Eve said with an air of superiority around her, talking as if about the weather. Upon the confused faces in front of her she smirked and explained.
"Before you simpletons messed everything up," Eve growled before she recomposed herself, "I was out to make this world for the better."
"How?" Bumblebee questioned, although she had a feeling it would lead to another whole self righteous act that these super villains all seem to spew. It's like they all got together and combined thoughts.
"I am destined to create a free world, a world where one does not have to worry about the sins thy may commit in fear of condemning thy souls; a world where thy can fully give in to thee desires, wants and needs. By simply removing thy conscience and that ignorant law of moral guidance, people can live in the world where giving into thy pride, lust, greed, envy, sloth, wrath, and glutton is not a sin, but some a way of life. I am providing the world with the upmost freedom."
"So wait," Bumblebee said eyes widening in shock, "you're corrupting the world with the Seven Sins?"
"I am freeing the world of thy ignorance." Eve sneered and shook her head. "Lives won't be destroyed because people want to love and show that love to another in a passionate manner. If people want to be proud then let thy be, if thy want to be angry, so why not."
"Moral guidance is what makes us human and give us control over ourselves," Bumblebee argued, "if everyone was to go after what they truly desire in such a way as you so put it then this world of ours would be consumed with war and hatred. Love, compassion, and hope will be a thing of the past. It will destroy this world."
"NO!" Eve shouted, jumping out of her seat, "It would save this world from the lies and false promises of the one thy believed to be made of from God. Thou God exist not in this world nor in another, in fact he is the very one I hate with thy very soul, for he condemned me before I can fully love. Thou God is a false lie, and I am merely showing the world that thou is free to sin without care, for no punishment waits after death. Live now to thy freewill before dying to a world of total abyss."
"Just because you have a certain relationship with God does not give you the right to condemn everyone else in the way."
"ENOUGH" Cyborg yelled, pulling Bumblebee away from Eve, "We are not here to discuss whatever relationship you have with whoever. All I know is you did something to my friends and you are going to fix it, you are going to fix everyone else you screwed with and leave your views to yourself."
"Cyborg," Starfire said looking up at the half robotic man with fear and confusion in her eyes. Bumblebee and Cyborg turned to the orange girl. "What she has stated, she removed moral guidance from Raven and Robin, correct?"
"Yeah,"
"Raven, she…she meditates under these guidance laws, does she not? It is what keeps the daemon in her under control does it not?"
Cyborg nodded slowly; almost afraid of the conclusion the red head was approaching. "Without these guidance rules to make Raven stable as Raven, the daemon in her is free. Raven is now the daemon she has always internally battled correct? Is that daemon, who is sired from Trigon the Terrible, going to want to destroy this world just as its father once wished?"
Cyborg's eyes widened before he turned onto Eve, gripped her by her prison clothing, and picked her up in the air, wishing for a wall to slam her up against. "Tell me now, witch, tell me you did not unlock Raven's daemon, tell me you did not just single handed release the realm of hell onto our world."
********************************************************************************************************************************************
"What are you two losers doing here?" Jinx hissed wanting nothing but to blast these two birds back into their cages.
"Is such hostility even necessary?" Robin asked as he leaned back in his chair with an air of playfulness around him. Jinx wanted to destroy it.
"It helps from my end."
"Keep talking," Raven said looking up from filing her nails into sharp points, "And we'll find someone else." Her attention went back to her nails causing Robin to chuckle at her nonchalant attitude
Jinx interest was peaked and she swerved her eyes to Raven who was concentrating on her nails paying her nor Robin any mind. Something was off about these two birds, and it wasn't from the obvious hints such as Raven's hood was down rather than the preferred up position and the fact that it was long past her shoulders no longer in the bob cut. And Robin, he seemed more relax than any time she seen him, granted it was always in battle, but something told her even when he was hanging out, he was never this relaxed and carefree. The guy was freaking smiling.
She didn't know what the change was, but she would bet a bag of tricks that things was about to get a whole lot more interesting.
"Find someone for what?" Jinx asked placing her hands on the table in front of her, the metal enchanted bracelets that kept her powers from her grasp, banged loudly on the table purposely. The subtle hint did not go unnoticed by the two Titans but it was ignored.
"Well, it's been what…a couple of months since you've ended yourself back in here?" Robin asked with a chuckle, "just can't keep to the side of good, can you Jinx?"
"What can I say, Boy Wonder, I'm a girl who needs excitement and adventure and that lifestyle just wasn't cuttin' it."
"That and you couldn't keep the Flash's attention for long right?" Robin asked. Jinx flinch and Robin smiled widely at the sore topic, "you have a habit of going after those who can't seem to keep an interest in you don't you."
Jinx growled and she balled her fist, slamming it on the table, "Shut up, bird brain,"
Robin gaze lifted to the ceiling in concentration, and his fingers rubbed against his chin, "I mean, who was it first; Cyborg, right? I think you guys had a little thing going on, you heard about that right Rae?"
Raven chuckled but gave no other indication of being part of the conversation.
"I think there were rumors you had a thing for me for a while, and now Flash," Robin said ruthlessly, "talk about going out of your league."
In a flash, the table was smashed against the adjacent wall and Jinx was gripping Robin's uniform, and pulled him to his feet. "I said to fucking shut it, Bird Brain, if you know what's good for you. I'm sure we all can't have the perfect relationship like you and that annoying orange fruitcake."
The door opened and two armed guards came in, weapons ready at the given moment. Upon seeing Jinx in a hostel act toward Robin they raised their stun guns toward the sorceress.
"Don't interfere," Raven said merely glancing up at the intruding guards, the guards looked at each other in question.
"It's alright, guys," Robin said with a fling of his wrist. The two guards nodded before stepping back out in the hall, the door closing with a hiss upon their exit.
Robin eyes narrowed before gripping the hands that was attached to his cape, using pressure on the back of her hands, which caused a slight whimper from Jinx he effortlessly detached the pink haired spell-caster from his person.
"You really shouldn't think too much of yourself," Robin said before he pushed her away from him, "That's what caused your 'troubles' in the past."
"Is there a reason why you two bird brains are here, if it's just to insult me then go fuck yourselves somewhere away from me." Jinx spat no longer amused by the two Titans. She knew there was a reason she couldn't stand the Titans, they were so fucking high mighty it was sickening.
"Been there done that." Robin chuckled, his grin once again present. "Anyway there is a reason we're here-"
"Whatever your selling I'm not buying," Jinx interrupted as she fixed her luscious pink hair in the style she so loved.
"Even if it means your freedom from this place," Raven asked standing up from her chair. She pushed her cape behind her body and left hand rested at her hips. Robin couldn't help but stare at the body that was shown off proudly. Raven chuckled as she walked passed Robin standing in front of Jinx.
"Exactly how are you going to do that?" Jinx asked with a roll of her eyes and her hands rested at her hips, "You want me to rat someone out, well your shit out of luck, I don't know anything, and even if I did, there would be no way in hell that I would tell the likes of you."
Raven sighed before undoing her cloak and letting it fall to the floor, that thing was really such a bothersome. She didn't know how she could stand it in the past.
In an instant Robin had his hands traveling shamelessly along the curves of her body and she bathed in the attention; loving the feel of his hands traveling down her hips and over her breast. Raven head turned slightly toward the male behind her and she stifled a moan when she felt a hot wet trail slide across the back of her neck.
Robin moaned as Raven hands reached up and buried themselves in his hair, one of his weak spots which she found with ease. His head was yanked down to her lips and was pulled into a searing hot kiss.
"Oh, God, you fuckers, get a fucking room." Jinx said trying to block the view with her hands pissed off the fact that they could ignore her presence and divulge into such activities. She turned around wished to burn her eyes out and now her ears having to be forced to listen to their moans. "And I thought you guys had fucking morals, Robin aren't you dating Star-loser?" She received no answer only a moan and she shivered which she quickly pegged as disgust.
"What the fuck loser's, you guys can't wait to even get to privacy before you have to go like it." She mumbled under her breath, "it's like your fucking hexed or-" She paused in her rants and snapped around to Robin and Raven whose attention were now on her.
Raven and Robin were still in the same position, Robin hands were glued to her Ravens body his face inches away from her the dark birds, Raven hand locked into his hair, while the other rested above one of his. Both heads turned towards Jinx who turned was pointing at them.
Jinx let out a chuckle, "That's it isn't." she said, "I thought something was off with you two, I thought I felt a weird tingle from you two, and that's what it is. You two are hexed, aren't you?"
Before she could receive an answer Jinx fell over in a laughing fit.
Robin held Raven back who was getting annoyed and ready to end the life of the pink fool before her. She was not one to be laughed at, and even though it was her idea to recruit Jinx she was not a major asset to her plan, the girl was very much so expendable.
Jinx tried to compose herself but found it to be too rich to be true. Not only is the leader of the Teen Titans under someone's control, but so is the dark witch. And Raven considered herself an expert at all things magic, but went ahead and let herself be caught under someone else's spell. Oh the irony.
"So you got to tell me, who is pulling your strings and what exactly do they want with me?" Jinx asked from her position on the floor from when she keeled over.
Raven stepped forward, the hands leaving her body in an instant and she kneeled down next to Jinx, her hands over the enchanted bracelets which burned black and red, before falling to the floor in a harmless clang.
Jinx felt the familiar surge of power as it rushed through her body, her hands glowing bright pink and she smiled. She was back.
"You're so good at hexes Jinx, why don't you tell me who is pulling my strings." Raven stated with a smirk, her eyes flashing into her daemons eyes four red slits appeared causing Jinx to jump back slightly. Jinx looked into the eyes of Raven and choked, she felt like someone was squeezing her neck cutting off her air. Her hands reached for her neck expecting something to be clutching but only met with her skin.
Jinx barely had time to register this as her mind was sent reeling into darkness. Instant fear, hatred and heat clutched her entire being, both body and mind and her eyes leaked with tears. Red eyes appeared around her, all in sets of four and all taunting her, and closing in on her
She tried to scream but the pressure on her neck would not let her have the pleasure, so she had no choice but to choke on the scream which sent her into a coughing fit. She collapsed and huddled under her arms.
"Get up," Raven stated with a disgusted sneer, still peeved at the girl.
Jinx looked up realizing she was back in the meeting room in the prison in Arkham. She lifted her head, to realize that somehow she was now in a corner of, her face buried into her knees and her arms over her head. She was facing the corner, huddling over the floor. She unfolded herself and slowly let her eyes return to Raven, whose arms was folding and Robin who was silently chuckling at her antics.
Raven demanded Jinx to stand once more, and Jinx slowly did. The pink and pale haired sorceress, slowly and tiredly got to her feet, almost falling over from her shaking knees. She stared at the wall behind the two titans refusing to look into Ravens eyes again.
She was sweating and felt exhausted, her throat was tender and she now had a gripping fear for the violet haired raven. She had once mocked Dr. Light for having such a fear for the dark Bird, thinking of him as a weak fool, now she understood his fear, and wish she hadn't.
"So what do you think, Jinx?" Raven asked walking toward the stricken teen, who collided with the wall when she tried to step back.
"Wh-what do you mean?" her throat burned as she quivered, her speech. She tried to stand strong but knew she failed miserably; she didn't even have to look at Robin's mocking form.
"Who do you think is controlling me?"
Jinx eyes widened when the realization occurred, "no-no one. You-you broke free of their control? How-how is that…possible."
Raven ignored the stuttering and stepped inches away from Jinx, "she released me, freed me, freed us, Jinx." Ravens haired raised and Jinx flinched harshly as it made contact with her face. Her eyes reopened when she felt the soft caressing, and she stared at the crazed smile on Raven. "Would you like me to do the same? Release you, as Robin and I were released."
Jinx eyes traveled behind Raven to Robin and she saw nothing but lust in his eyes, she saw the jealousness too. They were both driving on their emotions to the point of sanity and she felt her head shake subtly.
Raven chuckled and backed away, making Jinx mentally sigh in relief, "Your call, but either way we came here to retrieve you; and we're not leaving without you."
"And I refuse?" and she secretly wondered how she had the nerve to talk back to the mauve raven.
Robin chuckled moving to the two females; Raven didn't even glance his way. "That's funny, now who said you even had a choice. Besides why wouldn't you? Aren't you stuffy in this place? Don't you want that adventure and excitement you were talking about?" Robin smiled and so did Raven who nodded in agreement.
Jinx felt herself nod and she wondered if it was on her own free will.
********************************************************************************************************************************************
"Wait a second," Bumblebee said pulling her boyfriend off of the shaken woman, "before we all draw conclusions, why don't we let Eve tell us exactly what the Birds are going through."
Bumblebee turned to Eve who was roughly thrown down in the chair. "Enough riddles, enough half truths, I just want to know what exactly are Raven and Robin going through right now."
Eve moved slowly to fix her clothing, unappreciated of the fact that she was just brutally manhandled. "Thy told thee once and thou refused to listen with a truthful ear, why shouldest thou tell it again."
"Because if you don't I'm going to go all postal on your ass, and because you are pushing me to the limit, woman." Bumblebee growled as she harshly poked Even into the shoulder.
Eve merely turned her head before speaking, "All followers of thy go through the seven stages, as thou hast called it, the seven sins; Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust. For each person the stages shalt differ, and with each competition of a stage, thy need for true freedom strengthens. Desires shall grow to the point where it is an upmost need to fulfill it and it matters not who stands in thy way.
"Thy friends, before the pendants were removed from my person, I knew it to be true of the first completion of the first stage."
"Which stage was this?" Cyborg asked although something told him he knew, if he remembered correctly, how at the last fight the two Birds were all over each other.
"Lust"
Starfire eyes widened in shock and she shook her head, she turned to her friends in desperation in hopes that she was mistaken. Robin and Raven would not betray her in that manner. "Friends, please inform me, this lust she speaks about, what is it?"
The room was silent, as the two African American titans looked at each other for support.
"Star…" Cyborg said resting his hand on her shoulder hoping to confront the grief-stricken alien.
Eve grinned in understanding; it made sense all of a sudden. Why the orange alien dove head first to save the streetlight colors wearing leader, the fool loved him. If the little naïve girl was confused then perhaps she could help Aleve the confusion.
"Thy friends hast betrayed thee," Eve said with a wide grin, hoping for a small gloat of revenge, "they joined into union as lovers partake. Their bodies becoming one until they relish in climax of-"
Eve hit the floor with a thud, landing into a heap form from the punch that Bumblebee delivered. "Who the hell asked you?" Bumblebee growled at the unconscious body below her. She turned to Starfire who was trying to be comforted by Cyborg, but to no anvil.
"I wish to not believe the words of a glortbag but even I cannot deny what I know to be true." Starfire closed her eyes and the image of Raven standing close together with her Robin, and her Robin taking Raven's digit into his mouth. She shook her head as tears fell from her eyes, Cyborg and Bumblebee could only stare helplessly at the girl who suffered so much in less than twenty four hours.
"Everything will be okay Star," Cyborg asked, his big brother mode turned on to high power. He wrapped his arms around her as she cried into this metal chest. "We'll just have to get a hold of Raven and Robin and have Eve reverse them back to normal, within time, things will be back to normal."
"How can normal be if Beast Boy is not here to partake on everyday activities such as the piling of the dog, for he was our dog…" Starfire asked shaking her head. "Will Robin become Robin again, will Raven become Raven…?"
No answer was giving, and the red haired Tamaranian did not expect one. "Excuse me, I need to be alone." Starfire turned away from her friends.
"Star…" Bumblebee said softly, stepping away from the body on the floor, "whatever is happening between Robin and Raven, you understand it is not on purpose right? They aren't doing it to hurt you, they haven't betrayed you. Everything is because of what Eve did to them."
"I know this." Star said her hair falling over her eyes, her body shaking ever slightly, as the tears fell from her emerald eyes. "I know that Robin would not purposely betray me. However I cannot stop this feeling as though I have been betrayed by my Robin and my friend Raven."
Starfire's voice cracked and before the other two occupants could try to reason with her anymore, she flew through the stainless steel walls of Arkham as though they were made of clay, leaving a gaping hole in her wake.
"Star…" Bumblebee yelled out in worry flying in the air with the conviction of consoling of friends pain. She was, however, caught by the ankle and turned toward Cyborg who wore a sullen expression. "Sparky?"
"She needs time…" Cyborg reassured before pulling the flying bee toward him, crushing her to his body, he needed to be reassured too that everything was going to be fine. Bumblebee nodded in understanding and let her arms close around her boyfriend as his breathing grew heavy.
"Titans, there's something that-…what the HELL HAPPENED TO MY WALL," Dr. Lacey Arkham stared at the huge hole that was currently providing fresh air and a beautiful view of the star-filled night sky, something she did not authorize.
Her eyes fell from the two teen titans who were pulling away from each other and to her ward who was lying unconscious on the ground. Mental note, she thought gravely as her eyes went to the broken table in a heap on the floor, all Teen Titans visits will be supervised.
Lacey Arkham gripped pinched the arch of her nose hoping it wasn't a migraine that was forming. She was exhausted to the point of collapsing, she hasn't left the building in 48 hours trying to catch up on work, just as she was about to leave, they got a new inmate with a request for a thorough background check and with the possibility of the Titans showing up in a in a few hours.
Being the hard worker she is, she's been doing nothing but supervising this visit when she got news of some idiot slip up which she was now about to inform the three Titans only to come find out that not only did they knocked out her ward but also destroy a three thousand dollar wall. Not only will have to be fixed but now her whole building will have to go through careful inspection to find out what the fault were, seeing as the backup wall did not come down nor did the alarm go off, and to see what could be done about having Tamaranian proof walls.
The only thing that kept the woman going was the coffee that she was receiving every half hour or so. Now she wanted nothing but to crawl in her bed and hid away from the world. She mentally whined at the amount of paperwork she was about to receive.
"Do I even want to know what happened?" she asked with a growl as she walked to the adjacent wall, opening a panel in the wall which only appeared with her palm print on the wall, she entered various key numbers before a silver steel wall slid down from the ceiling covering the entire wall. It was part of the facility shut down system which usually was activated if there was ever a prison escape. It would incase the entire building in steel walls and cages.
"I'm sorry," Bumblebee muttered apologetic, "Star was really upset."
Dr. Arkham waved off the apology before turning back to the topic of discussion, the reason why she even came. "Robin and Raven of the Titans…" she noted how the two titans before her visually stiffened, "I'm guessing something happened, and this one is the cause correct?" She asked as she nodded toward the fallen female inmate.
"Yes, what about them?" Cyborg said not wanting to give out any more information than what he felt the doctor needed to know.
"They were here tonight signed out a few inmates, causing the Titans to reach the number of limit of criminals allowed to be signed out."
"What?" Cyborg boomed out, his eyes widened, "why would you…"
"Authorizations are usually only approved by me, it seems like not only was there a newbie who did the signing out without passing it along to me. However it seemed like his mind was tampered with, I'm guessing it was by Raven, the female. It seemed like the idiot I seemed to have misjudged to hire, failed to have his mind scanned to protect himself from mind controllers."
"Who did they…?"
Dr. Arkham plucked her clipboard from under her arm, "Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, Billy Numerous, Kid Wicked and SeeMore, otherwise known as the H.I.V.E. Five."
Cyborg and Bumblebee looked at each other as Dr. Arkham named the list, both shocked at this news. Questions searing though the minds, but Cyborg took command as the temporary leader and lead.
"Robin and Raven are currently under…" Cyborg faltered for a moment, "under heavy influence and are in not right mind. Those releases are not under the order of the Teen Titans, because I am currently the leader and I say who can and cannot be released under our care. However I will be taking that one." He pointed.
"I'll only agree to it if you return to me the six members of the H.I.V.E Five." She held out her hand which Cyborg quickly grasped. Afterward he picked up the unconscious woman and returned through her uncaringly over his shoulders. "We are also going to need those pendants of hers."
Dr. Arkham grinned, "It's already been taken care of." She turned on her heels and escorting the Titans their way out with their 'luggage'.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
"Hey Sparky…" Bumblebee began; they were driving back towards Jump City, with Eve still unconscious in the back seat, the pendants in a box on Bumblebee's lap, being fiddled with by her nimble fingers.
"Hn?"
"Why would Raven and Robin take the time to sign out Jinx and the others," She met eyes with her boyfriend, "Raven has the ability to just take them out of there with her powers, signing them out is redundant."
Cyborg sighed which betrayed his body as his hands clutched the steering wheel." It's only a guess, but I'm guessing it's because…because they knew we were there and provided us with a warning?"
"Warning?"
Cyborg nodded, "There's no guessing what Raven and Robin will do now, but I'm guessing it can't be good. Bee… you should have seen them when we were fighting them. It was like they weren't really them. Robin had a crazed smile, and Raven…she looked more relaxed than I ever seen her, all while she had a deadly aura around her.
"Raven and Robin are smart, you know that, I know that, and they know that. You should see them playing chess, it goes on for hours. They didn't lose their intelligence when they were changed. Bee they went after Eve, intentionally her. They tried to kill her, do even worst that what happened to…" he paused as he slammed on the breaks causing all three occupant to jolt forward, they ignored the female in the back who hit Cyborg's seat with a thug before hitting her head on the window, after all the windows have stood up against worst.
"Why..." Bee asked but paused. "..Because they know she could reverse it."
"Because they know she could reverse it." Cyborg agreed, "If Eve was out of the way, then they won't have to worry about reversing them. It shows that they acknowledge that they are under something, and they approve, and that's what scares me Bee.
"I have a bad feeling that those two are up to something." Cyborg said gravely, "and while they are planning it they are putting us through the loop, they are also fulfilling the next sin. Sloth, after all why do the work when someone could do it for you."
"They're going to our most challenging foes aren't they, Sparky."
Cyborg grinned cruelly. "Yup, after all, they know our strengths and weaknesses. Who can hurt you the worst, no other but those you care about?
"If that's the case then, we are going to have to fight this without holding back, because they won't. We can't afford to make mistakes not knowing what our friends have planned."
"Friends, we can't think of them that way anymore, they're our enemies." Cyborg concluded as he started up his car.
What he did not want to mention to his girlfriend was how he was already starting to think of them as their enemies, especially after what they did to Beast Boy.
"A/N: I'm back and slightly stronger. Finals are drawing to a close and only have two more to take (I'm speaking as I have even taken on yet, hah). I've been writing like crazy for this story to get my mind off some things off my mind and it worked. It took me about 3 days of writing in a row to finish it. Although I started it like months ago.
Believe it or not this is about 14 pages long. I'm even floored by it. All the time I'm wondering, when this chapter is going to end. I hate when I let stories tell themselves, for they want to keep going on and on.
Please understand that although God is mentioned, I am no way forcing belief on anyone, I'm just merely letting a story tell itself. Everyone has a right to believe what they believe, or whatever.
Since I have to worry less about school, I may be able to write more, review to help keep my dedication.
(Don't forget to review and tell me what you think.!)
