"Here we go," Raven says looking through the new memories as she started to erase them.
"Thanks for this Raven," Agradd says looking to her.
"I'm only seeing three," Raven says.
"Yeah. Two I…you're looking at what I did already, aren't you?" Agradd asks.
"Maybe," Raven says dryly,
"Then that is probably better," Agradd says as he sat there.
"Yes…are you okay?" Raven asks as she kept banshing memories.
"Yeah, but what about Jinx? She now knows about me and my…you just saw the part with the armor, didn't you?" Agradd asks seeing her smile.
"You have many ideas. Just need to work on what to do," Raven says raising an eyebrow.
"I knew it wouldn't work from what you told me, but I figured it would lure her into lowering her guard for me to grab her," Agradd tries to defend.
"I think you need to work on another way. You could have been hurt badly," Raven says looking around the memories still.
"I had faith you would be back for me," Agradd says making her blush.
'He's so cute!' Passion yells happily.
'Happy, you are being quiet,' Rage says.
Happy smiles nervously as she pushes her fingers together with Timid in the corner.
'What is happening?' Rage asks alarmed.
"Raven?" Agradd asks looking to her as she seems to have stopped.
"Uh…what?" Raven asks.
"Are you done already?" Agradd asks.
"Oh…yes. You can go," Raven says floating away from him.
"So no lessons tonight?" Agradd asks a little disappointed.
"I rather you get some rest. You may have had enough lessons with the hive five," Raven explains.
"Yeah. How to be stupid," Agradd jokes.
Raven smacks him in the back of the head. "Enough of that. You aren't stupid. If that was true, you wouldn't have been able to take down the hive five."
"I meant watching them being stupid," Agradd inform.
"That too. Why not go and get some rest. You've earned it holding down the fort," Raven says lightly rubbing his head.
"Alright," Agradd says leaving.
'Rage, why did you get mad there?" Knowledge asks.
'I don't like him calling himself names,' Rage says.
'Aw. You care,' Passion says teasingly.
'And why are you acting like Happy and why is Happy acting li…oh,' Rage says getting something that Raven hadn't yet.
'What is going on?' Raven asks.
'You haven't figured it out yet?' Knowledge asks.
'Even I figured it out,' Rude says.
'What?' Raven asks getting annoyed.
'Happy,' Passion says motioning to come to her and whispers something into her ear, while Raven growls as she went into her mind to demand an answer.
'Raven…you're in love,' Happy finally says.
"Wait, what?" Raven asks faced to face with Happy and Passion.
'Yep,' Passion says happily while Happy says timidly.
'We have fallen in love with our student,' Knowledge says as Rage thought about that.
"Oh no," Raven says troubled now.
'What? You should have known. He opens his mind so freely and doesn't care who we are despite you erasing the memory of us being half demon from his mind in a fit of panic,' Passion says.
'Even Rage can't be mad at that moment,' Knowledge says.
"No. No. No. I'm not supposed to fall in love. Especially to someone I'm teaching," Raven blathers as she paces around.
'Well, it happened. I should know,' Passion says going into a room and coming out with pictures of Beast Boy before throwing them into the void part of Raven's mind to be forgotten.
Happy snarks a bit at that.
"What was that?" Raven asks.
'Oh, the developing secret crush on Beast Boy,' Passion says.
"We had what?" Rage asks.
'Beast Boy,' Passion says simply.
'Yeah. Let's stick with the none flea infested boy,' Knowledge says.
"I can't get involved with him," Raven argues.
'Well, not in that way. I mean, he is our teammate…let us keep our feelings of Agradd to ourselves for now. I would rather not give our brothers any reason to visit us,' Knowledge says.
Raven groans and holds her head. "Why me?"
"So night off?" Cyborg asks about a week later as Agradd sat on the couch, seemingly thinking.
"Yeah, Raven has been a bit distant to me lately," Agradd says.
"Well, we can train some CQC," Robin offers as Silke crawls all over them.
"Where is Beast Boy anyway?" Agradd asks pushing a button outside their line of sight and soon Beast Boy's voice came from the closet.
"Dude."
"Found him," Cyborg says smirking.
"Could you get him? He should join in," Robin says as Cyborg gets up and goes to the door.
"What the heck?" Cyborg asks surprised.
"Dude. Dude. Dude," Beast Boy's voice came from a green painted blow up t-rex costume rolling across the floor on skates.
"Uhhhhhh…" Cyborg stops as Agradd smirks a bit.
"When did Beast Boy lose weight?" Robin asks not really paying attention.
"Maybe last week," Agradd says chuckling.
"Why do…what is that?" Beast Boy asks walking in.
"Yo. Beast Boy. When did you make this prank?" Agradd asks raising an eyebrow to him.
"Me?" Beast Boy asks.
"Dude. Dude. Dude," the fake Beast Boy kept going as it traveled around the room.
"I don't know. You sure that isn't the real one?" Cyborg asks.
"Why not run a test?" Agradd says grinning.
"Hey, Beast Boy, what is your catchphrase?" Robin calls.
"Dude. Dude. Dude."
"There's your answer," Robin says shrugging.
"Why is there two Beast Boys?" Raven asks walking into this besides a fuming Beast Boy.
"Raven," Agradd calls getting up and walking towards her.
"Agradd," Raven greets before he gets hit and carried away by the fake Beast Boy.
"That seems like Beast Boy," Cyborg says pointing to the fake one as the real one fumes and has a thundercloud over him.
Starfire sees this and gasps. "Beast Boy is kidnapping Agradd!"
Agradd frowns and punches the fake suit away and lands against the table as it goes another way before tipping over onto its side. "Raven, I want to talk," he groans walking over to her again.
'…this is either really good or almost as bad as Slade,' all the emoticons say in near unison.
Agradd sighs as he steps up beside her before leading her away as the others watch them enter the hall and the door close behind them. "Have I done something wrong?"
'Oh…he thinks he upset us,' Timid said as the emotions got more out of control.
"Because if you are avoiding because of a wrong lesson or…actually I have no idea what I did wrong. Can you tell me?" Agradd almost pleads.
'DO SOMETHING RAVEN!' Timid yells, shocking all the others into silence and makes Raven react.
"No, no. That's not the problem. I have just had a lot on my mind," Raven says in a panic.
"Oh…if you needed time, you could have told me. I would have let you on your own and don't bother you until you are ready. Heck…I could meditate and everything until then," Agradd says rubbing the back of his neck as he looks away embarrassed.
'You know, there is a song that has great advice for you Raven,' Passion says.
'Passion, stay out of this,' Raven thinks frowning inwardly.
'Come on. Make your move,' Passion says.
'I don't want to push him away,' Raven huffs.
'I'm starting to get mad at ourselves,' Rage says.
'Raven, he is talking to us,' Knowledge says.
"Raven…are you still mad or do you need more time? Because I can go away," Agradd says pointing the other way.
"No. I was never mad," Raven says stopping him.
"Oh…do you need time?" Agradd asks carefully.
"No…let's continue your lessons. How are you doing on your fire magic?" Raven asks looking at his still red hair.
"Well…I am able to do this but not much," Agradd says holding up his hand and makes a flickering flame appear before it is snuffed out by the AC. "I still need to work on protecting it."
"That's fine. You don't even need an incantation for it. That shows a lot of practice," Raven says closing his hand.
"Oh. I thought I needed to try to protect the flame. Couldn't find anything in the book," Agradd says scratching his head confused before noticing she is still holding onto his hand. "Um…Raven?"
"That comes with time and practice," Raven informs smiling, feeling pride in her student.
"So…uh…what's my next lesson?" Agradd asks as he takes his hand back slowly to not startle her.
"We will continue your fire magic training," Raven says before leading him along.
"Oh…okay," Agradd says following her.
'He is happy,' Happy says sighing in relief.
'You almost blew it,' Timid says in the corner.
'I know,' Raven says.
"So what is the deal, Robin? What did you call us here for?" Cyborg asks.
"I just got a tip from Batgirl. Bane is heading our way," Robin says.
"Any idea on what he plans to do?" Cyborg asks as Agradd looks up from his book.
"Yes. Seems he and Slade have made a deal and will be establishing a new smuggling route for his drug called Venom through Jump city," Robin says.
"Dude, what is venom?" Beast Boy asks.
"It's a highly addictive super-steroid basically. Can take any normal person and make them into a hulking person with the strength to go with it. They will be as strong if not stronger than mammoth. The drug also has a terrible backlash that can destroy the body," Robin informs.
Agradd raises an eyebrow as he closes the book, now interested.
"So where do we start?" Cyborg asks.
"Batgirl will tell us when she arrives. She said she was bringing backup," Robin says, obviously not fully pleased with the situation.
"What's wrong with help?" Agradd spoke up.
"Robin basically like to handle our own city," Cyborg says.
"And? What if you are down and out? What then?" Agradd asks getting up and walking over.
"Agradd, come on. I will explain it while they keep the debriefing going," Raven says before leading him away.
"I did something wrong, didn't I?" Agradd asks after a bit away.
"No, it's just Robin and his mentor, Batman, didn't part on best of terms and he is trying to get out from his shadow," Raven informs.
"Oh…he is never going to get over it…is he?" Agradd asks.
"He thinks he needs to prove it," Raven says.
"I see…so…you guys are heading off then?" Agradd asks, wondering what other books he can pick up.
"When she arrives, but we have been talking it over and we feel you are ready to go on patrol with us," Raven says.
Agradd stops in surprise as he stares at her. "Wait…really…?" he asks in shock, wondering if he can really leave and not get caught.
"After beating the Hive Five, you showed your cunning and Robin says you are getting decent at fighting and you can finally start throwing fireballs," Raven says before giving him a smile.
Agradd holds his hand up and makes a small fireball. "I don't think this will be enough."
"You are applying too much control again," Raven reminds.
"But it will snuff out," Agradd says as he releases a bit of control and the fire starts dying and flickering.
"You will figure out fire eventually," Raven says ruffling his hair.
Agradd closes his hand and makes the fire snuff out. "So…how is this going to work?"
"We will work as a team to find the bad guys, shut this down, and catch the bad guy if we can manage it," Raven says.
"Okay…I should get ready…shouldn't I?" he asks pointing toward his room.
"Come with me. It's time we got you a more mystical outfit," Raven says smiling.
"Mystical?" Agradd asks confused before looking over her outfit. "Is it like…?" he asks pointing to her.
"Something more like mine," Raven says.
"Have you been working on one?" Agradd asks. "Is this another reason you have been a bit distant that week a few weeks ago?" Agradd asks.
Raven looks away a bit embarrassed. "Kinda."
"I am sure it is good," Agradd says as she leads him to her room.
"Sula kini aran sular!" Raven chants after shutting the door behind them and out came a mannequin wearing a black outfit with a black sash and a black cloak, looking very similar to Raven's cloak.
"Went all black…didn't you?" Agradd asks as he walks up to it and looks it over.
"It's more of a neutral color," Raven says motioning for him to put it on.
Agradd hums as he starts to take off the clothing off of the mannequin and looks it over closely before starting to take off his own clothes and makes Raven look away blushing in shock. 'He does not care, does he?' Passion asks grinning before Raven notices a scar at where the base of his spine was.
'Well now, what caused that?' Brave asks.
'He has to have been in a fight,' Raven thinks to herself as she kept watching out of the corner of her eyes as he kept dressing.
'Or he ran away from one,' Brave says as he finishes.
"So…how does it fit me?" Agradd asks as he tries to look at himself in a mirror.
"Yes, I made sure of it," Raven says as it started to change colors and became red.
"Um…what happened?" Agradd asks confused as he picks up the cloak and looks closely at it.
"It is made of the same material as mine. It reacts to your magic," Raven informs.
"And why doesn't it have a hood exactly like yours?" Agradd asks.
"That is a representation of my soul animal," Raven informs.
"Oh," Agradd says as she moves over and fixes the sash. "So what am I?"
"We haven't reached that point yet. We will find out in due time," Raven says moving off of him. "You are ready. Now you just need a code name," Raven says.
"Well…I don't have any good ones," Agradd admits, trying to think of one.
"We will call you mage for now till we come up with a good one," Raven says before leading him back to the living room. "Guys," Raven says getting their attention and they see Agradd in his new outfit.
"Whoa…now that is an upgrade," Beast Boy comments.
"So Robin, how long till they arrive?" Raven asks.
"An hour at least. So we have to get ready at least," Robin informs.
"Are you guys sure about this? Agradd has not practiced with us in team coordination," Beast Boy says.
"He will be fine Beast Boy," Raven insists.
"I can try my best," Agradd offers.
"See," Raven says very upbeat.
"Friend Raven, you are very happy today," Starfire says.
"I would be very happy for my student heading out for his first mission," Raven says blandly.
"Well, be ready to go everyone. I will let you know when Batgirl gets here," Robin says.
"Oh, we still haven't come up with Agradd's code name so just call him mage," Raven informs.
"Mage, huh?" Beast Boy says grinning a little at the prospect of coming up with a nickname.
"Yes," Raven says.
"Everyone. Batgirl is here and she brought…whoa," Robin says over the intercom.
"That can't be good," Agradd murmurs as he closes his book.
"Let's go see, shall we?" Raven asks getting up.
Agradd nods as he puts the book down and follows her to the living room. "So…who else does Robin not work with very well?"
"It's mostly just Batman," Raven informs.
"I see…you have a crazy set of friends," Agradd observed.
"They are like family," Raven says.
"So you mention Batman is Robin's mentor, does that mean there are more?" Agradd asks.
"Yes, there are heroes all over the world. Some very powerful," Raven says.
"How many?" Agradd asks curiously.
"I don't know the exact number," Raven says leading him along and make it to the living room to see Robin talking to Batgirl and spy someone flying near them wearing a blue and red outfit.
"Who is that?" Agradd asks, looking the person over.
"That is Supergirl. Batgirl brought a tough one," Raven says.
"…Raven…which one of them is long living?" Agradd asks a little worried.
"Huh?" Raven asks confused.
"Which one of them lived the longest?" Agradd asks looking to her with a worried expression.
"Oh…you know…I am not sure," Raven says.
"I may have to find out or I could end up finding it the wrong way," Agradd mutters as he pulls on his new gloves a bit.
"It doesn't matter. Batgirl is like Robin no superpowers or magic, while Supergirl can fly, has super speed, super strength, and is mostly bulletproof on top of other things," Raven informs.
"Oh…I should stay away. I don't think I can even control that level if it comes to it," Agradd says looking the two over.
"Yeah, let's not have you try your powers on her as we are still learning the basic things of it," Raven says.
'And so you have not tempted away from us,' Passion says.
'Passion!' the others yell.
"I see some have already shown up," Supergirl says, calling Robin and Batgirl's attention to Raven and Agradd.
"I recognize Raven, but who is that?" Batgirl asks.
"Meet Agradd. Our new teammate," Robin introduces.
"What can he do?" Batgirl asks.
"Magic," Raven answers as Agradd is a bit unsure how to word it.
"So you got two now, huh Dick?" Batgirl asks.
Robin frowns a bit as Agradd became confused.
"Robin's real name is Dick Grayson," Raven informs.
"Oh…hmm…" Agradd just became more confused.
"Raven, why did you tell him that and why did you say that?" Robin asks switching between Raven and Batgirl.
"Because that's what I called you," Batgirl says smiling.
"Are they…?" Agradd asks.
"What?" Supergirl asks floating to the two.
"Together?" Agradd asks as Raven looks to him a bit.
'He understands love!' Passion squeals.
"Not to my knowledge. I think they are like siblings," Supergirl says.
"Oh…they seem to act like it," Agradd says to himself.
'I am happy he seems more comfortable to talk to others now,' Happy says.
'She better not make a move,' Rage mutters.
'Not you too Rage,' Raven thinks.
'Hum. I wonder if this is how a mother feels or close to it?' Knowledge says.
'…what was that?' the rest of the emoticlones ask.
'Are you insinuating I look at him like my child right now?' Raven asks.
'Some masters see their apprentices as such,' Knowledge says.
'Would guys be quiet for a second and let's go through this briefing,' Raven insists.
"So what about you two? Are you siblings?" Supergirl asks.
"Not really…" Agradd admits, looking down a little.
'Hug him, Raven! Comfort him,' Passion pleads.
"He is my apprentice," Raven informs.
"Oh…well then. At least he looks like he is learning," Supergirl says smiling.
"He is. This is also his first mission," Raven informs.
Agradd smiles a bit at that as he gives a light shrug before leaning over past her to look at Robin and Batgirl. "So…what's the plan?"
The two didn't seem to hear him as they were arguing about something.
"Uhhhhh…" Agradd groans out as he sweatdrops.
"Let's wait till the rest of the Titans to arrive then the leaguer can break it up," Raven says patting his shoulder.
"Leaguer?" Agradd asks.
"I am in the justice league…you don't know what that is, do you?" Supergirl asks seeing his expression.
"Is that some sort of food chain?" Agradd asks.
"He's kidding…right?" Supergirl asks looking to Raven.
"No. He has no memories of befor…a word in private," Raven says.
"Yeah. Sure," Supergirl agrees following her as Agradd watches them for a bit before looking back to the two bat people bickering.
"Agradd has no memories beyond being imprisoned in a secret facility not even a year ago," Raven informs.
"Really…then did you give a name to him or does he has some idea of what to really do?" Supergirl asks curiously.
"Agradd does remember his name, but nothing else…he could be an artificial human or suffered some sort of trauma that makes him suppress them," Raven informs.
"I'm leaning on the trauma…so the magic…?" Supergirl starts.
"I don't think he knew he had it till I told him about it," Raven says.
"What did he think he has?" Supergirl asks curiously.
"A genetic mutation. I am unsure, but he has a scar at the base of his spine. Evidence of either an injury or an experiment they did to him," Raven says, causing Supergirl to turn to his direction and use her x-ray vision.
"Looking…I see…no hold on…his body structure is different from a normal human's," Supergirl says.
"How so?" Raven asks a bit curious.
"His underlying genetic code is just different in a few ways, but that is it…also, his heart is…I am not sure how to describe it besides beating in a strange way," Supergirl tries to describe.
"Really…can you tell how? Just try," Raven says, wondering if she can work the lessons that way.
"It's like it beats when it wants to. Not in a regular beat," Supergirl says.
"Is that a bad way or just metahuman unusual?" Raven asks.
"I think metahuman as he doesn't seem bothered by it," Supergirl says.
Agradd looks to them for a few moments before looking to enjoy the bickering.
"Alright," Raven says returning to Agradd as the rest arrived.
"Ok, you two, briefing," Supergirl says.
Agradd looks to Raven as they all step up. "Is something the matter?" he asks, seeing her concerned expression.
"Nothing's the matter really," Raven says as the emoticlones were discussing this as Batgirl informs them of what they know and the two possible smuggling lanes.
"Team one is Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg. Team B will be Supergirl, Raven, Agradd, and myself," Batgirl informs.
"You said one and B team names…is that a joke?" Agradd asks, raising an eyebrow confused.
"No. It was a jab at me," Robin growls.
"Oh…you have strange ways," Agradd says scratching his head.
"Is this acceptable to everyone?" Batgirl asks.
"Why does Agradd get to be on B team?" Cyborg asks.
"Because he is Raven's apprentice," Batgirl informs.
"Why is that a bad thing?" Agradd asks, looking to Raven.
"He is just jealous that you are on the team with more girls," Raven whispers to him.
Agradd raises an eyebrow at her. "You have such strange ways."
"Alright. Let's go," Batgirl says.
