Here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

"Aunty?"Raven asked, a palpable tone of surprise in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm the son of Jared, and I desperately need your help to prevent Trigon from rising."

"Jared? Isn't he sealed away with... Wait! Trigon!?"

"Maybe it'd be best to show you. Come to the old orphanage. You can bring the other Titans too."

"Okay, tell us everything you know," She closed her communicator.

Matt waited on the steps of the orphanage, patiently tapping his foot. He was willing to wait, but he couldn't help being anxious.

It was 20 minutes until the Titans arrived.

Raven was the first to reach him, but as soon as Robin and Beast Boy saw him, they jumped into action.

Robin threw a birdarang at him, while Beast Boy turned into a falcon and flew at Matt. Matt was about to form into his shadow to defend himself, but stopped , as both Beast Boy's attacks and Robin's birdarangs were stopped by the obsidian energy of their fellow Titan, Raven.

"What are you doing?" Anger was apparent in her voice.

"This is the guy that helped Jinx escape!"Beast Boy spoke up as he changed back to his normal state.

"That's the guy that beat both of ya'll? If he can beat Robin, he's got to have some skill."Cyborg put in his two cents, which received a glare from Robin.

"Anyways, I don't think we should trust him." Robin glared at Matt.

"In order to prevent the Trigon from rising, maybe we should give him the listening ear." Starfire said with her usual positive outlook.

"Fine! Go ahead and tell us what was so important."Robin seemed irritated.

"Well, first off, I wanna tell you that since I'm mostly human, I'm in full control of my demon part. So...,"Matt put his hood on, closed his eyes, and two more opened above his, all four eyes glowing red. "this only amplifies my power and allows the use of magic," he then closed all his eyes and took his hood off "so, my powers are what I manifested as a human. But when I was conceived, it was by the order of Trigon. From what I'm aware of, I have some cousins that are in the same position I am. Anyways, my father, Jared, told me that Trigon was close to being free and that he wanted my help to free him, otherwise, he swore he would kill everyone I love."

"When exactly was this?"Raven asked.

"About an hour ago, while I was on a date with Jinx."

"That's all I needed to hear." Robin pulled out his staff and began walking towards Matt.

"Jinx isn't our top priority, Trigon is." Raven flew in front of Robin.

"Before I forget, I have something else that is remotely troubling to tell you,"Matt took his jacket off to reveal tattoos and scars all of his arms. The tattoos resembled the ones Raven had when Slade and Trigon were working together and succeeded in raising Trigon. "I'm supposed to be the most powerful out of my cousins, so I was chosen to be Trigon's host when he rises."Matt balled his fists in anger. He never wanted to be a demon. He never wanted to have powers. Since he was stuck with both, he hated himself and his parents. He still remembered the hellish training his father, Jared, had given him in order to master his demonic powers and magics.

Raven knew how he felt. She could feel the anger, the sadness, and she was able to tell he was scared. Raven was then compelled to do something no one had ever thought she would do. She walked up to him, and hugged him the same way a caring mother would comfort a child if the child was scared. "Don't worry, it'll all be over once we seal Trigon for good."Raven assured him.

Matt had felt something he never felt from his own mother. He felt the warmth of someone who cared. Who actually cared /for him/. This was completely different than what he felt with Jinx. He had fallen for Jinx, but he now began to feel a motherly/sisterly warmth as he returned the hug to Raven. "Thank you."

Meanwhile:

Jinx laid on the bed in the guest room of Matt's friend's house. The man Matt knew was named Alex, and he was living with his fiancé, Alisson. The two had no complaints when Matt asked them to let Jinx stay with them, since he had helped them when they really needed it. The two were nice. They went well together. Jinx liked them almost instantly. The only thing that annoyed her about them was when they asked about Matt. They would always ask how Jinx felt about him, what their relationship was, and if she had any future plans with him. Besides the relationship question, Jinx wasn't completely sure yet. She liked Matt, but still needed to forget about the reason she was on the run in the first place. Until then, she didn't want to get too close to Matt, so that she wouldn't hurt him or involve him in her mistakes. Jinx heard a knock on the door.

"Jinx, dinner is almost ready," Alisson spoke from behind the door.

"Okay, I'll be right there."Jinx remained where she was on the bed. She then thought about what Matt's father said just an hour ago. It gave her the chills as she got up, deciding to get ready for dinner, hoping everything was alright with Matt.

What Jinx didn't notice, though, was that two sets of glowing red were watching her from the alley across the street. She did see something out of the corner of her eye, but when she looked, it was gone. Just as she finished washing up for dinner, hair still down to her shoulders, the doorbell rang. She heard Alex answer it.

Then came a scream from Alisson as a loud thud hit the ground. Jinx raced out of the bathroom to see Matt's father, Jared, holding the head of Alex. He dropped it, as a beam shot from his eyes and onto Alisson, igniting her in flames. She screamed, running around, before finally falling with no more words sounds to come from her mouth. Jared then turned to Jinx.

Jinx was horrified. Too scared to run. Too scared to move. It wrapped righty around her like a cobra, and she stood there, tears starting to fall from her eyes as she thought of how the nice couple was now dead.

"I'd like to borrow you as motivation for Matthew." he said as an eerie smile grew itself in the man's face. His four, glowing red eyes staring at her.

"Matt..." was all she was able to say before he encased her in some sort of magic cage that he picked up, carrying her into a fiery portal he erected.

What happened next would affect Jinx, Matt, and even The Titans in more ways than one.
