*Revised as of June 13th*
The next few weeks were a pain for Raven, between all of her teammates she wasn't sure which ones were more annoying.
Beast Boy and Robin were the suspicious ones. Robin was in a frenzy about finding out what happened to her and kept himself locked in his room. It worried Starfire the most, not that she showed it. Starfire was in a different type of annoying.
Beast Boy seemed himself for the most part, but she noticed something else. Whenever someone wasn't looking, he would look at Raven. There was concern and worry in his eyes. The funny part, if there was one, was that he thought she hadn't noticed either.
Then there were the cheerful ones, which were composed of Starfire and Cyborg. They had forgotten about what had happened to her and often chatted about something, giggling in a quiet voice. That was what confused Raven.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," Raven murmured softly, meditating in her room to clear herself and her emotions of the turmoil that's bugging her. Her emotions were acting oddly, and at times she would feel a certain emotion come out uncontrollably. But she would force it back, she was sure no one else noticed.
Raven blamed it on her teammates annoying her. They were already hard enough to deal with before, when they constantly act like children. Now it seemed that between the cheerfulness and the quiet Raven just wanted balance.
Honestly Raven couldn't blame Beast Boy and Robin if they were worried. She wasn't quite sure what was going on either.
The alarm sirens went off and Raven stopped meditating and dashed out of the room as fast as she could.
"I don't know who we are fighting, but we have to stop them," Robin was saying as Raven entered the room. When she went in, she immediately looked at him and waited for him to explain further. Even though she was impatient to go and unleash her anger, no… She couldn't do that… She had to contain her emotions or she would do the same thing she did to Doctor Light a long time ago.
"The enemy doesn't appear to be actually trying to take anything, just trying to destroy stuff," Robin explained, creating a curious look from Raven and the others.
"Then it could be a trap," Raven said, speaking out and showing that she is here. She felt a flash of frustration noticing another concerned glance from Beast Boy.
Is that all he can think about is one small little faint? Raven asked herself. It wasn't little, at least you should know that. Answered one of her emotions, Raven wasn't sure which. She thought it was knowledge, but she didn't have time to dwell on the thought.
"You're right Raven, which is why we should be careful," Robin replied. He turned to Cyborg "Is the T-Car ready?"
Cyborg smiled "Oh hell yeah, lets move!" Then they turned and headed to the garage.
There was a man, he had red skin, with black eyes that captured souls with their gaze. He had white hair, had a black cloak and served a master as evil as one could get. His goal was to cause chaos, and to stir the hatred within his target.
He smiled, his master will be pleased. The man would make sure of it. Black wings sprouted out of his back which he used to fly. He hovered over the destruction he had caused, many buildings were on fire and citizens were lying on the ground, soaked in pools of blood, their heads severed from their bodies and fear still frozen on their features.
He pulled out a long blade, it was black and transparent and it if you looked through it you saw the souls of all the previous people who had their lives taken by the blade. The man smelled the air, he smelled humans, still living ones too.
Cackling mad laughter, he dove down into an alley between two burning buildings. The smoke didn't choke him, he was dead. The fire and heat didn't burn him, for he was dead. Looking into the face of two poor little girls, he swept his blade in a dark glittering arc.
Their screaming was cut short, their fear forever captured on their heads. As the blade cut through their hair their souls were taken from their bodies, feeding the dark man and his blade.
"Fool, they will be here soon!"
The voice rumbled in his mind, filled with hate and rage. He was used to it, the being created him, and he would serve as best he could.
"Of course, my lord I am awaiting their arrival, please let me have my fun." The voice said nothing, but the silence still told the masters satisfaction of the murder.
"Freeze!" Barked a voice, sharp and commanding, but still holding the sound of youth signifying how young he was. The man turned around, knowing without having to look who had come. He stared at them, taking in their features.
The first he noticed was the one who had shouted at him. Brightly decorated in a rather obnoxious outfit with a mask was Robin, the leader of the group. Next to him stood a half human-half robot teen who was no doubt physically strong, as he was the largest, Cyborg. On the other side of him was a tall floating girl who had strange orange skin with fully green eyes she had a sleeveless top, a mini-skirt, and long boots. The whole outfit was purple, Starfire. There was also a short green boy, which from what his master told him was called Beast Boy.
Then there was his target, a short girl with gray skin and amethyst eyes and blue hair, who the man had difficulty believing was his masters daughter. She had none of her father's fearsome demonic appearance; she looked nothing like her father. He chuckled and stared at her.
He saw her flinch and laughed even harder. "Greetings mortals, have you come to join in on my fun?" He gestured to the two dead girls laying next to him.
Robin grew even angrier at that statement. "Sorry, but we don't really consider slaughtering innocent people fun. Who are you?" Robin asked. The man felt a bit of satisfaction at their expressions, he hoped they would be a decent fight.
"Well! Who are you!" Shouted the one called Cyborg. Their impatience was amusing. He thought. "I am Thanatos! Bringer of Death!" Thanatos shouted, his voice shaking the ground and sending chills of cold fear through their hearts. Except for Raven, she appeared undaunted. Maybe she was Trigon's daughter.
"Well if you wish to face me, then you must catch me first," Thanatos roared and his black crow wings grew, he took off with a demonic laugh and a beat of them. He glared challengingly as he took off into the night, not at top speed. But slower, to allow them to catch him… Eventually.
