[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Raven slowed to a halt twenty feet above the concrete street, narrowing her eyes and searching the crowds for her brother. She could sense him, but only in a realitive area. Swirling around in irritation, she growled at her own inability to narrow down his possition. That didn't last long, as a solid fist impacted on the back of her head from above.
Wren planted a fist into the place where her skull and neckbone connected. He had laid a trap for her, knowhing that without the solid connection that they used to have she couldn't know exactly where he was. Even as they fell to the ground below, he cround his knee into the small of her back.
The impact on the streetleaving a crater as the two siblings rose up and faced one another. It was odd for the gothic girl, staring into eyes that were so like her own and so different all at the same time. Summoning a large amount of energy to her fingertips, she warped her hand into a black claw. "Where is he Wren?" Her face held a look of feral visciousness.
The blond rolled his head along his shoulders, his eyes darting as if looking for something. Then he stopped, smiling softly. "Ah, you mean your green lover? I believe my woman Chandra is ripping him to pieces aas we speak. Don't worry, he will meet you again in hell soon."
Screaming wordlessly, she dove forward, slashing savagely. Raven's hand was caught in a vise in mid air, barely scratching the gray shirt that her brother wore. Creating a shield around her body, she barely missed having her back snapped accross the edge of a building when he whipped her around. before she could recover, a heel slammed into the shoulder of the arm that was being held. An indescibeable sound of pain flew from her lips and sent the three people who had been watching the battle run quickly.
Letting go of his sister, Wren stepped back and cracked his head while watching for his sister to get up. He never saw her eyes glow, or the blue mail dropbox flying directly at him from behind. He did feel it however, sending him sailing toward her just in time to recieve a fist to the face. This caused him to do a backflip onto his head. After a moment, he stood again laughing. "I am impressed, thought your anger would have....." He paused as the manholes all along the block blew straight up and shattered into the air. The buildings around began to warp, and twist forward as if trying to get a closer look at the fight below. When he turned back to his sister, she had four flaming red eyes. "Well, I suppose that they are taking control. Heh. Seems your getting mad over the little prick, good, it will make it that much easier to beat you."
Stalking toward his injured sibling, he stopped dead in his tracks when her features returned to normal, then reverted to a look of shock and relief. Turning to see what she was staring at, he saw a man standing behind him with shimmering orbs in his eyesockets. Green skin, covered in a very fine fuzz was blemished along the arms and face with tiger stripes as well as occassional scars. Blood, muc and sweat matted long green hair to the side of his head where an ear had once been. His chest was bare, the shirt shredded and tattered pieces clinging to the belt at his waist. The fingers of the gloves where split by the talons extending from below the skin. Twin shackles held dangling chains to his arms. A small amount of blood trickled from his lips where constant playing with the edge of his wounded tongue along his fangs kept the injury painful and open. The eye which were usually so full of cheer and a good joke were glazed over, dully reflecting the light from the fleeting day.
The blond man laughed lightly, looking from Beast Boy to Raven adn back again. "So you came here to see your lover die? Too bad, but it will be amusing to see her face when you perish before her eyes." With that he turned and walked swiftly toward the green titan.
Raven tried to rise despite the pain, but a glance from her team mate gave her the message, "He's mine." It was amazing, almost as if he had actually said it. For an instant she wondered why he hadn't, but decided it was best left for a different time. Slumping to the ground, she watched through half opened eyes as two men, who had dominated her memories at two different times in her life, faced one another. No, only Beast Boy, the other man was not who she was thinking of. That Wren was gone, and had been for many years.
BB watched as the other man moved closer, though he never twitched a muscle. Pain still racked his body, his mind numbed it considerably however. He didn't think he had the strength left to change, let alone actually beat Wren. One thing he did know though was that if he was going to die today, he wasn't going down alone.
Concentrating all his power into his strength, Wren swung at his new opponents head. No attempt to block or dodge was made, which confused the lavender eyed man. The green skinned warrior didn't even flinch, it wasn't that it didn't send fresh pain through his cheeck, it just didn't matter to him.
Quickly clawed hands jerked upward, grasped the stone hard muscle of his enemies forarm and twisted to one side while jerking downward. This sent Wren face down into concrete, leaving a foot deep inprint. When he stood, blood smeared over his features. Whipping around, he charged his speed up and flew at the young titan. Blow after blow rained down upon Beast Boy, but with all energy put into making himself fast, the blond man's punches were barely more then an ordinary person's punch. While it still effected him, he had been in many fights over the years and these were far from the hardest he had ever been hit.
Snapping his leg up, Beast Boy caught his foe in the stomache and sent him falling backward. Diving at him, the titan was flipped over and sent sailing several feet. In mid air, he reached down and grabbed the floor, stopping his momentuim and allowing him to turn before touching the ground. Both sets of lavender eyes hid the fact that they were impressed. Raven didn't know he had become so agile, and Wren hadn't expected him to be any challenge after how easily he had been to capture.
The larger man leaped at him, concentrating on his strength. This time the green one noticed how slow the attack was coming compared to before.
Ripping upward, he slashed across Wren's face. A shout of pain erupted from the other man's lips and clutching his face, he fell back. Taking his chance Beast Boy ran forward. He was begining to lose what little strength he had left, and he knew that if he was going to win, it had to be now. Usiing the chain, just as he had with Chandra, he wrapped them around his foe's neck and squeezed tightly.
Lavender eyes bulged as oxygen was suddenly cut off. After the initial shock wore off, he attempted to tear his attacker from his back. BB wouldn't let go though, and with all his thrashing he was quickly using up what air he did have. After only two minutes, he fell to his knees with blood dripping from his mouth.
Raven watched as her brother fell to to the ground, the life fleeing from his body. With his last breath, he spoke to his sister. Seemingly the sanity which had left him long ago had returned in his moment of demise. "I will not beg forgiveness for something I had no control over. I ask only that you forget me and all that I have done dear sister." His voice was a rasping sound, and for an instant, Beast Boy thought that his beloved would ask him to spare the man's life. That thought vanished when the woman turned her head away from the scene. One last twist of his arms brought the chain deep into the tender flesh of the other's throat, and snapped the bone at the base of his neck.
The blond's lavender eyes rolled back into his head. When the restraints were released, Wren lay dead at his feet.
Agony tore at his nerves, demanding he collaspe to the ground as the other man had. His insticts, his will, however, commanded him forward. He had to get there, had to comfort the woman he loved so much, the woman whose brother he had just killed. Stumbbling one step after another, he made his way slowly toward her.
Finally, when she thought the battle had ended, she turned back to BB. He was almost at her side now, and she was starting to feel better, her wounds healing quickly. She suddenly noticed he still hadn't said a word to her. "Why won't you talk to me? Are you stil angery about our fight?" A simple shake of the head was the only response she recieved. "What then......." Her voice caught in her throat when he opened, revealing the severed stub that had once been his tongue. The intstant he reached her, when his fingertips held her's, he blacked out.
Crawling over to him, she held her cloak over his battered body. "My dear Beast Boy, I am so sorry. I tried to find you....I'm sorry." Using her magic, she brought both of them from the street to thier home, to her bed. Once there, she fell asleep in his arms. Guilt haunted her dreams, not guilt for her brother's death, but for what he had done to her love.
Back in the city, where cement shattered along the sidewalk, a figure stood over the fallen blond. Leaning down, the woman lifted the man from the ground, hellbent on burying him before anyone else would have the chance. Chandra's face was now covered in pebble-like scales that were harder then they had before her injury. Screaming she cursed the green titan, swearing to get her revenge by any means necisary.
She didn't notice the purple skinned demoness watching her from afar, taking note of everything she said. Commiting it to memory, Jinx turned away to find the red skinned villian. He had mentioned going to do something intricate to his plans, which meant only one thing. He was hiding from her at a video arcade somewhere. She supposed that his bubble would burst after all the mortals were killed and he realized no one was around who could create more games for him, let alone play them. She shuddered when she realized he would probably make her play with him eeither way.
It was going to be a long eternity.
