Violet eyes stared at padded white walls, yet not seeing them. A slack jawed look was drawn across the man's face as he dragged his forhead back and forth along the padding. Wren had been doing this since continuously since reestablishing his mental connection to his sister. He knelt only a foot from the wall with his hands strapped firmly behind his back, his entire weight pressing on his forhead.
He hated this place, this room, this institution.
Three years, he had been here three years. All because of that bitch of a mother and the betrayl of Raven. He thought he could trust her, how foolish. Softly, for the first time in days, he began to speak. Then his words took on a more musical tone, a hypnotic tone.
''Blackbird,, oh blackbird,
Why can't you see,
Blackbird, oh blackbird,
You can't hide from me,
Soon you will watch,
Your precious home fall,
And the meddling green one,
Will die slowest of all,
Blackbird, oh blackbird,
When I am free of this place,
I will rip off,
Your traitores face,''
Smiling and sighing lightly, he began again. He would repeat those words a countless number of times, his voice haunting the halls of the mental institution. Many men and women, both patients and doctors prayed for silence.

Hex stared at the moniter, watching every twitch and jerk of every muscle on each of the five heroes. He had watched all the videos that could be found, studying all the details. His head tilted up, his face was still covered in shadow even with the light overhead shining on it. Though his eye were blank, his mind was running over several scenarios.
He was not clothed in a uniform similar to his new ''teacher'', though accomodations had to be made for his remaining wing and tail. The later of which now ended in a casing with an axe blade attached to either side. He had even adopted Slade's posture, both hands behind his back and feet spread. This was a conscience effort ofcoarse, a very uncomfortable position considering the extra appendage on one side and the half healed wound on the other.
Feeling eyes on him, Hex took a long draw of air into his nose. It was her, the sorceress. He hated her, another human. Yet he wanted her too, an undeniable urge in his body contradicted the reasoning he had spent several lifetimes trying to instil in the universe. Humans were weak, desgusting creatures. It had been so long since he'd had a war within himself, he found it amusing. Almost as amusing as toying with her.
''If you are going to stare, you might as well do it from a closer distance. Hiding in the shadows is not your strong suit.'' When no answer came, he half turned his head to watch her from the corner of his eye. ''What's wrong little girl? Are you afraid that the big bad demon is going to bite you?'' His eyes narrowed as he grinned at her, ''or are you afraid you will enjoy it.''
The matter of face tone that he used in what was definately not a question broke Jinx's resolve not to answer him. Quickly moving across the room, she pointed at the red skinned creature. ''You are just an arogant asshole, you know that? You know what, you and Slade are perfect together. You are both pricks who wouldn't know how to treat a real person, let along a woman, if your very existance depended on it.'' Suddenly she wondered how he did that, she never let anyone under her skin like that.
Turning to look straight at her, Hex leaned down until thier faces were just barely not touching. Silver eyes looked into pink ones. His smile widened, revealing his fangs. Pulling his tail around her back, he pressed the flat of the blades against the small of her back. This forced her to arche backward to keep from touching him. ''Was that an offer to teach me Jinx?'' His voice barely a whisper sent hot breath down her neck and chest. ''I believe if you are going to do that, I should get to see your credentials first.'' With one quick motion he pulled away, letting her land on her backside. A look of utter desgust was plastered over her face as she rose and left, refusing to give him the satisfaction of continuing the conversation.
Flipping back to the screen, he waited a moment before addressing the masked man standing just in the shadows. ''I was suprised you didn't throttle her for those remarks.'' The smile had not left his face, but his eyes were narrowed in concentration.
Slade stepped forward to stand beside his apprentice. His voice took on it's normal, supperior tone. ''She may have had a point, besides that display was perhaps more entertaining for me then it was for you. You do enjoy playing with her don't you?'' As he spoke the last words, he sounded almost amused.
''Indeed. Now down to business. I have a way to take down these titans of your's. It will take some time, and alot of patience on your part master.'' Forcing himself to say the last word with a straight face was almost impossible, though somehow he pulled it off.
''I have heard such promises before, they are difficult to keep.''
''Not as difficult as you might think. My plan will succeed, and that one is the key.'' Pressing a button, Hex froze the screen on an image of a green lion tearing the head off of a Slade bot while a hooded figure levitated just behind it.
''I suppose you will enlighten me?'' Slade stared up at his protege, his eye narrowing.
''What's wrong Slade,'' turning they locked eyes and Slade was sure he witnessed Hex's grin widen enough to split the demon's head in half. ''Don't you trust me?''
***************************************
A dark green bird stared through the window from it's pirch, watching as the pale skinned woman slept peacefully. Her breasts rose and fell with her every breath, slow and steady. He had sat out here every night since the unspoken incident. Sometimes he thought she knew, others he thought she didn't have a clue. Suddenly he heard breathing becoming more erratic.
Shifting into snake, Beast Boy used his wedge shaped head to nudge the windo open just enough to enter. Reverting to his normal form before he even hit the ground, he moved quickly to Raven's side. When he heard her speak, her words stopped him dead in his tracks. ''Oh Beast Boy......right there.'' Her voice almost a whisper as he stared at her almost purple lips with shock. He watched as she mouthed the words again, only more elongated and more throaty.
Deciding to take a chance, since she might wake up when he left. Beast Boy leaned over and gently pressed his arms over her shoulders, whispering her name. ''Raven, are you alright. '' Her eyes half opened, met his. ''Is everything ok?''
"Now that you are here, and not outside watching me. It felt so secure in your arms the other day. Is there any way you could hold me for a little while?'' She nuzzled closer to the side of the bed, giving him room to sit. Laying beside her, he wrapped both arms around her neck and waist as she turned her back to him. Repositioning himself so as not to get to excited about his surroundings, Beast Boy began to drift into a light sleep.
He was woken immediately by a headlock. Raven's arms wrapped tightly around his throat as her still sleeping form levitated off the bed. ''You can't have him.....Never. I will kill you first brother, and you know I will. I love him dammit, he's my ..............''
The lack of air to his brain blurred the words as he tried to think of a way to escape without hurting Raven. He could only think of fairy tales at that second for some reason, damn all of Star's books. Only one solution came to mind from that jumble. Changing into a snake long enough to turn around, he morphed back and kissed her on the lips. It was soft, yet forced, an odd combonation. And it worked.
Unfortunately, it worked. They both fell head first to the ground, only the impact was more BB's head hits ground, Raven's head its BB's stomache. Groaning slightly, he picked her up and walked toward the bed. Gently so as not to wake her, he placed her back on the dark sheets.
Turning to leave, he heard a soft whisper of a voice. ''No please. I want you to stay, stay with me Beast Boy.'' He couldn't refuse, so he walked backward, kneeling on the floor with her hand in his. Slowly he fell asleep, never knowing her words had never been a woken request.
He opened his eyes sometimes later, suddenly staring into the most beautiful violet one's he had ever seen. "Gorgeous.'' A slight blush went over the goth's face as a black shroded pillow came over Beast Boy's.
Both laughed lightly for a second, before returning to thier staring. ''Raven, I think there are a few things we need to talk about. Do you feel up to it?''
A frown fell over her lips, ''If it's about my brother, I don't. And I am not sure I ever will.'' She slightly turned away, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.
''That's no problem, you can tell me when you are ready. But about this other things.'' His face was an odd color as the blood rushed to it.
''Other things? Ok, as long as it's not about Wren, I will answer anything.'' Big mistake.
''Well, you remember that door where I saved you from........where the incident occured the other day?'' Slowly he was scooting closer along the bed toward her.
''Yea, what about it?'' Honstly she didn't remember, not which door in particular it was, only that it was in her cherished memories.
''Well, you said those were memories right? Things you hold dear?'' His voice was getting softer with each word.
''Yes, spit it out Beast Boy.'' Raven's tone was becoming aggitated, though she tried to contain it.
''I don't realy care when you saw me naked, but why was the memory kept there? Did I fall on my head before you left?'' When he looked at her, he had never seen so much color in her face before.
Suddenly things all over the room started levitating and her eyes began to glow. ''Get out.'' The command was quickly heeded as BB ran for the door.
Slamming the door behind him, he leaned against it for a time. Finally, sure he was safe, Beast Boy started walking down the hall. ''Maybe I should ask Robin or Cyborg's advice. They might know why I would be there.''
Before another step could be taken, he was ripped backward with an enourmous black bird claw and pulled into the room. The entire time he her an elongated scream of anger. ''Get in here.''
_______________________________________
Firstly anyone who thinks my characters or storyling is cliche, or done to death can do one of two things. read and enjoy, or don't read. Secondly Hex is a completely original character with no background what so ever at the moment, though I do plan on giving him one, it has nothing to do with Trigon or Raven. As for Wren, the concept of Raven having an evil or insane sibling is indeed well used. But it is how that character acts and reacts to situations, other charecters and themselves that give them a uniquiness worth reading. If you find a character quit like Wren, do tell, I will alter him only slightly, to ensure a different story. Thank you all for reading and reviewing.
