Raven is meditating in front of the main window, Dark appears from the double doors on the other side of the living room. Dark walks over to the couch, mantles over it, and walks up the walkway where Raven is. Stopping and waiting for a few moments, Dark sits down on his knees facing the same direction as the other half-demon. "Yes?" Raven remains floating in the same position.
"I was wondering how you keep a grip on your powers. Mine are different but tied to emotion like yours."
"It took me years to even grapple with emotions, I still don't have complete whole time control over my powers. Example: Yesterday."
"Yeah, that was a little out of line, but-''
She cuts him off sharply, "But you'll never have full control unless you can find an outlet."
"A hobby will help?"
"If you put your energy in it. You have a different energy than me, plus it takes years to master your powers and emotion."
"When I meant powers, I meant my demonic form. You've gone pure-form too, right?"
"Pure-form?" She shakes her head slowly with a long sigh, "So you have complete control over your powers? Of the Hemo Magic?"
"Yes, I can also breath a little fire. But back to the point."
"Are you a cannibal?"
"I've fed on flesh before...I had a thermos full of human blood." He calmly replies.
Raven inhales deeply and then exhales slowly, her stress hidden from the other person, "That might be your trigger."
"Blood?"
"Maybe. But Cyborg could run some tests on you."
He strongly states, "No way."
The two continue the discussion.
Hours pass, soon the tower's alarm goes off, waking Dark out of a peaceful sleep. Raven watches him jump up and run into the window, only to bounce off, fall off the small walkway, and land in front of the couch. While Dark gets back on his feet Starfire flies out of the left doorway and knocks him off his feet. The rest of the team runs into the room. "Hey, hey, hey! What the heck's going on?"
Robin pulls Dark to his feet. "Looks like the Hive Five are robbing the arcade."
"Who's the Hive Five?" Dark inquires.
Robin pulls up a picture of Gizmo, Mammoth, See-More, Kyd Wykkyd, and Billy Numerous while the other Titans run to the T-car. "Read the information, call me, and wait in the workout room."
"Yes, sir!" Dark throws up a mock salute to Robin while the Boy Wonder goes to stop the gang.
Left to his own devices in the empty tower, Dark reads through the entire villain archives.
After two hours of reading the tower's databanks, Dark starts wondering where the others are. Turning the terminal off, he scrounges around for the T.V.'s remote. Finally bringing up the news, Dark runs out of the tower and makes his way to Jump City's high school.
