Chapter 2
Changed Conditions
“Who the hell are you,” Cyborg asked charging the cannon on his arm.
“Thou should not be so hast in thy movements.” The woman said as her hands were held out. Her smile was serene, her voice gentle, while her eyes held a deadly aspect to them.
“Who are you, what are you doing here, and what did you steal?” Robin fired, there was something about this woman that he didn't like, and it wasn't just the fact that she held the sign of Christ in one hand and the sign of the Devil in the other.
“Thou shall refer to me as Eve.”
“Robin…” Starfire turning around “I fear she is not alone.” True to Starfire words, ten red robed figures, and ten golden robes figured, stepped into the light, all were wearing a plain white faceless mask, with only slits to see out of.
“Thy reason for my being is destiny, my great destiny.” Eve gentle voice grew louder and more commanding.
More figures freed themselves from the shadows of darkness, either wearing a red or golden robe, all wore that expressionless mask. The titans pressed into each other.
“There are more than fifty of them.” Cyborg said eyeing his scanner on his arm.
“Let's be careful out there,” Robin said extending his Bo stick.
Beast Boy smirked, “Psh fifty? We've handled a lot more. It'll be a piece of cake.”
Cyborg chuckled charging his arm, his eyes scanning the figures around him, just waiting for his leader's words. “I can go for some cake right now,”
“Me too,”
“Guys focus,” Raven growled standing up straight, pulling her cloak over her body, “Things are not as it appears.” Her wine colored eyes burned hot white as she rose in the air above her teammates.
“Talk to us Raven,”
“They're humans,” Raven spoke her eyes searching through the robed figures. “She tempered with their minds.”
“That means we're going to have to take it down a bit, we don't want to hurt them.”
“Well can you tell them that,” Cyborg said jumping out of the way when one of the robed figured jumped at of them.
“Titan's Go!”
The order was given and the move was made. The Titans battled against an enemy they didn't want to harm, yet who had no qualms about harming them. It was a handicapped battle.
Robin merciful knocked away those who came at him in an unsatisfied rage. He was hit in the back at the same time as two grabbed his staff, and a third grabbed at his waist. The boy wonder growled angrily, and pulled tightly his staff to him, which caused his elbows to harshly hit his attacker in the back. The two in front was knocked off their balance slightly, so Robin pushed down his staff and causing them to propel forward and with a quick upward thrust he knocked the two out of his way. However seconds later he was attacked again.
Beast Boy was too having the same trouble, after getting a few off of him, even more came, and they were getting ruthless with each attack. Even to the point where they would attack each other to get to him.
Beast Boy turned into a mouse just in time to miss a golden robed figure that lunged at him, he then transformed into a large green gorilla to toss a few the side. He turned around to witness a group of them fight each other to get to him. “Uh-oh, maybe this won't be as easy as I thought.” He nervously stated to himself, before turning into a lion.
Cyborg growled as more jumped on his back. “Why do they always go for my back,” he growled as he grabbed the robes of one figure from over his shoulders and flipped him off. Cyborg would have loved to shoot at these annoying things, but he didn't want to risk bring any real life threatening injuries; but they were trying his patience.
Starfire yelled out in energy as she threw another robed figure against a pile of boxes. She wondered why refused to stay down. As she understood, humans were most fragile, and it usually took one punch for them to stay unconscious, so why didn't they stay down when hit.
Raven growled, this was getting annoying, she couldn't even get the chance to figure out what spell was being used on these humans. Nor could she get the chance to even analyze Eve. They kept coming and coming, nonstop. What ever that woman did, it was powerful enough to have humans react like this. She yelled angrily as she was tackled to the floor and felt many of them climb on her. She was getting pissed off, and that was not a good thing.
Eve smiled at the scene, everything was coming together. Soon what was she wanted would be hers. It was only a matter of time. Now she needed to concentrate at the task at hand. Her disciples were doing a perfect job, just as she told them too.
“Thy time hast comes.” Eve announced her hands rose in the air, the golden see-thru shawl swayed with the wind that picked up around her. Her next words were of the old religious Tongue, speaking quickly and softly, as her eyes rolled back and flashed white.
The pendants on her palms illuminated brightly, a gray storm cloud spiraled from nothingness and thunder exploded and two whirlwinds formed from the clouds onto the pendants which represented heaven and hell. Her palms closed in together and the whirlwinds formed one great tornado.
Eve smirked.
“What the hell is she doing?” Cyborg demanded as he shoved more followers away.
“I don't know, but its creeping me out,” Beast Boy said before turning into a tiger and leaping away from the masked figures, before turning back into his elf self. “What I want to know is what's going on with these dudes, they just keep coming, and don't care what happens to them.”
“They are most persistent.” Starfire said before eyes flashed green and a strong ray shot from them and onto a support beam that hung on the side of the building. It fell to the cement ground floor between her and attackers who was about to launch themselves at her.
Robin snarled and threw a smoke bomb down between the feet of two persuaders, while the smoke ensured him moments of confusion; Robin took that time to shoot his grappling hook up and on to a support beam, lifting himself off the ground. He needed to see what was going on around him, and decided that a bird's eyes view would be perfect. He landed himself on the nearest beam.
The scene was not what he would have expected of his team, they were stronger than this, but they were at a huge disadvantage. Those damn robe figures were winning, they kept on attacking with endless energy and ruthless behavior, even to the point of attacking each other to get to them. It seemed like they didn't even care if they got hurt, and always somehow managed to get up after each attack.
This made them dangerous, and not being able to use one hundred percent of their power, put them at risk. If things continued this way, they just may have to attack them with full force.
According to Raven they were under a spell of that woman, so they had to be careful of how they attacked. They had trained themselves to fight enemies like this, and in the past it usually worked, but now it was different.
Robin's eyes fell to each of his teammates. Beast Boy was changing forms rapidly trying different ways to keep his attackers down, and Cyborg was having trouble keeping his from climbing on him. Starfire was holding up back her strength as she punched her attackers, but Robin had a feeling that even if she didn't, they would keep getting up, just as they were now.
Robin turned just in time witness Raven's black aura toss about five attackers off of her; she used her powers to grab a long metal pole and wrap it around the ones who were racing toward her.
They were tiring which weakened them, they were fighting for two long now. This had to end.
Robin looked for Eve and found her in the same spot she first appeared in, staring up at him with a twisted gleam in her. Robin was beyond livid; they had spent so much time concentrating on subduing her puppets that they didn't have any time to even spare a glance at Eve.
Things were getting out of out of control and as the leader of the Titans; it was up to him he had to put an end to it all.
Robin studied Eve as the tornado formed in her hand. He had seen enough no to question a tornado forming in a building.
This wasn't good; he didn't understand the world of magic enough to know what she was up to. He needed Raven for that, but a quick glance told him that she was full with the ones who managed to free themselves from the poll she trapped them in.
“What is thy move, boy?” She asked him, stepping forward for the first time since she introduced herself. The tornado steady as it whirled in her hands, growing larger with each step she took. “Hast thou given in? Quickly make haste with thou answer, for it matters not.” She smirked.
Robin growled ready to wipe that twisted smile off her face. He would have to do without Raven for now. He needed a plan, but that tornado prevented from being able to do much. He needed to deal with that first.
He tried to remember the teaching that Raven offered the team that may help them overcome any type of sorcery;
If you manage to break their concentration, then you have for maybe a spilt second some type of advantage; Raven's monotone voice played in his head.
How the hell was he going to do that? There was no time, besides he always thought better while in action.
He smirked, “Don't count me out so fast lady.” He yelled out before extending his Bo staff, “you and your puppets are going down.” He jumped, not expecting what happened next.
Eve chuckled as the boy's eagerness, before thrusting her left palm outward dispersing the tornado, leaving a giant enchanted hand. Robin eyes widened as he stared at the change in battle. He fell forward not able to change the direction of his free fall.
The hand came towards him, wide open, in a flashing speed that surprised him, however he managed to put his staff in front of him to block off the hand.
Eve smiled as her left hand thrust forward; the giant red hand mimicked the movements and passed through the staff, through his body, and grabbed his heart, all the while shrinking in size.
Robin screamed before he even realized it.
The Titans froze and turned the sight when they heard the piercing scream that hurt their souls, and faced a scene that turned each Titans blood freeze. Robin was suspended in the air clutching the wrist of an arm that phased through his body just where his heart was. Robin tears leaked out from behind his mask as he screamed a sound that was inhumane.
“No” “ROBIN,” They all rushed toward, but stopped short when the robed ones all threw themselves at the dispirit Titans.
Starfire would have it; she would not let these Zogblrogs, stand in the way of her rescuing her beloved Robin from what seemed like the brink of death. She summoned up her power and flew with new found rage toward Robin, bowling over anyone that got in her way.
Starfire missed the smirk Eve wore when she eyed the alien. One Titan did not.
Starfire inches away from Robin, ignoring all, reached forward when she was knocked away,
“Star watch out,” she heard the familiar voice of her best friend, before she left weight on her chest and she fell to the ground.
“RAVEN” was yelled through the air.
Starfire opened her eyes, which instantly closed on impact with the floor, to see purple locks cascading down. Raven had her legs on both sides of the orange alien and her hands firmly on the ground on either side of her head. She clutched her eyes in pain.
“Friend Raven,” Starfire whispered in fear, as she tried to sit up, but couldn't move for Raven did not.
“Star….fire….are you…alright…” Raven gritted out through pain. Tears fell down, onto Starfire's face mixing with the developing tears of the young alien. Starfire nodded stiffly, and Raven looked at her with a constricting smile. “Good,” Raven growled and she let her head fall down to Starfire's chest, her hands moved to clutch at her own. Raven took a deep breath and let out a terrifying bloodcurdling scream.
Starfire grabbed Raven and roughly sat up, her eyes widened when she noticed the same red stream of power that invaded Robin's chest, was forced through Raven's back, it took aimed for her heart.
Starfire looked above her to see Robin, limp against the invading arm. She gasped when she noticed the blood leaking out for his mask, nose, mouth and ears. She moved to go to him again, but froze when Raven wilted against her, her scream hand come to an end.
Starfire screamed loudly in a yell that bested the sharpest tone Earth had to offer. It just happened to be enough to cause the robe figures to drop to the floor. Eve although flinched, would not give up her prized.
Cyborg who curled over at the scream the alien gave, looked up to see the one he dubbed as bitch, flinch. He readied his cannon and took aim.
“I have thee” Eve yelled as she pulsated her power through her enchanted hands, squeezing the seized hearts, and also rearranging their very souls.
“Not this time Bitch,” Cyborg yelled seconds before a white and blue stream erupted form his arm toward Eve. He didn't count on a robe figure to shakily stand up and push Eve out the way before taking the hit. He hit the wall behind him, and fell still.
Although Robin wasn't expected it, he didn't waste time, Eve lost the concentration and her grasp on them was lost. Beast Boy acted quickly and managed to catch the boy wonder before he hit the ground.
“Retreat,” Cyborg yelled running toward Raven and Starfire, he picked up Raven, and Starfire grabbed Raven. They were gone before Eve got the chance to pick herself up.
She chuckled gleefully as she held open her hands looking down at them. It didn't matter that they escaped for now; it was only a matter of time. “I have you.”

“Put him on that bed quick” Cyborg yelled to Starfire, as he set Raven down on the closest bed in the medical room of the tower. Starfire did as she was told and stood back as he watched Cyborg rush back before each unconscious bird, attaching them to the heart monitor machines.
“They are going to be okay, correct?” Starfire asked as Beast Boy took her hand. The tears fell free as she gazed upon the painful expressions both of her fall teammates wore. How could this have happened? Her boyfriend Robin, she had never seen him look so weak, so…so…deathly.
Raven looked paler if possible, how did this happen?
She didn't receive an answer, she wouldn't ask again. However couldn't stop from speaking.
“That was to be me, but Raven, she pushed me out of the way. She saved me.”
“She did it because she loved-loves you.” Beast Boy said squeezing her hand, “If not her, then me or Cy, we would have done it.”
“I am to blame, I do not want this,” Starfire cried shaking her head, they could only watch as Cyborg worked as the team's doctor.
“Damn it Rae, come on.” Cyborg cursed out causing Starfire and Beast Boy to jump.
“What is wrong,” Starfire asked. Cyborg looked at them before turning back down. “Is she…”
“She's alive, just barely,” Cyborg motioned to the heart monitor that was too slow for his liking, but thought it better than nothing.
“Then…”
“She's not healing herself,” Beast Boy said walking to Raven's beside and taking her hand. “Why isn't she healing herself?”
“I don't know BB, whatever that bitch did, must have messed with her powers, if she's not even healing herself. But if she doesn't soon, then her heart the blood pressure may not be strong enough to-”
“But-” “I don't-” They all stopped when the nerving sound of a steady tone of the monitor plagued the air instead of a constant beat.
“Shit, Robin,” Cyborg yelled before dashing over to his leaders bed. “He's flat lining.” Cyborg went in action.
“What?” Starfire asked frantic, moving to Robin side.
“His heart stopped.” Cyborg answered, as he started to manually pump the said boy's chest. Starfire eyes widened and tears started up again. Cyborg glanced up, “Star, you're a strong girl, do you remember how I taught you CPR.” The overly emotional alien nodded, “Come do it.” He stopped back when Starfire's hands were in place. He moved to Robin's head, tilted it back,
He needs oxygen, Cyborg thinks to himself. As trained, Cyborg made sure he was breathing and when no sign of hair entering or exiting the boys body, he puffed to breathes in before nodding to the said girl.
“15,” Cyborg directed, “and don't worry about his ribs”
Starfire nodded and started.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Two breaths, no response
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Two breaths, no response
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Two breaths, no response
They kept the routine up, never slowing down; both working franticly, ignoring the tears that even clouded their vision.
Beast Boy held Raven's hands, praying for his fallen teammate's survival. And for some reason all he could think of was didn't have enough time for him to capture all of their memories on camera.
Cyborg and Starfire worked for five minutes, however during that sixth minute, when hope was dimming, did Robin's heart start again. The two feel into exhaustion and cried; leaning over Robin's who heart beat was returning to normal.
“I think they are going to be fine.” Cyborg nodded as he accessed the heart machine's on his arm. If one were to flat line again, he would know the second it happened.
“Are you certain,” Starfire asked clutching the Robin's hand to her heart. “Robin has not yet awakened, and Raven has not begun the self healing.”
“I'm not sure, but I think they are fine for now. There's not much more I can do for them now.” Cyborg sighed. “They both slipped into a coma, and now we have to wait for them to awaken.”
Cyborg was tired, exhausted and from the looks of the other two, so were they. Until Robin gained consciousness and was better he would have to assume the role as leader.
“Why don't you guys go rest, I'm going to go call Titans East.”
“I wish to stay be their side.” Starfire stated, Beast boy turned into a cat and was now resting tiredly but awaken on Raven's side, but he meowed in agreement.
“I know, but you'll just make yourselves sick with worry, and we are already down two Titans, I can't have you guys this exhausted should that lady come back or if someone else decides to attack. Now as temporary leader, that's an order.” Cyborg said with a soft command.
Starfire nodded and picked up the kitten form of Beast Boy, and followed Cyborg of the room.
“Is he alright now?”
“I hope so,” Cyborg sighed as he looked up at the screen, at the Titan's East leader and his girlfriend, Bumble Bee. True to his words Cyborg called the other team to give them the report of what's happening. He also plugged himself in to somewhat recharge while talking.
“Oh, Sparky, do you want me to come down there. We have extra Titans here so my leaving won't affect the team.”
“Nah, Bee, I don't think that's necessary at the moment, just keep lines clear just in case, okay.”
“Understood,” Bumble Bee nodded softly she looked at the picture Cyborg faxed over. It was of the woman who caused the problems, Eve. Cyborg had taken the picture with his robotic eyes and scanned it from his memory files and sent it over to her.
“I'll also see what I can come up on this Eve person.”
“Thanks baby, but something tells me that we just may end up having to bring her in, just to get answers.”
“It's like that sometimes, Sparky.”
“I know…” Cyborg sighed again. He turned around to the couch where Starfire and Beast Boy were sleeping. They feel asleep the second they sat down. Starfire face down on the couch, with kitten formed Beast Boy snuggled next to her.
“Victor.” Bee said gaining her boyfriend's attention. She could see how tired he was. His one human eye was reddening and had circles under it. “How are you doing?” She questioned deeply.
“I don't know, Karen,” Cyborg replied honestly shaking his head. “Just an hour ago we were all rolling on the floor laughing and now my best friend his and little sister are hanging on for their lives. I feel so useless, helpless.” He rested his face in his hands.
“Oh Sparky,” Bee said softly, she could tell he needed her, and the second they hung up. She was going to pack her bags.
“Sometime baby girl, I really hate this job,” Cyborg mumbled Bee could only comfort him for the time being.

The robe figured walked wordlessly into his mistress's grand chamber. She was resting in bed, going over a few enchantment books.
Eve looked up at when the man in the red robe walked up to her bed. She nodded and the man removed his mask and robe. Underneath was beautiful man who stood over six feet tall with a perfect toned body and beautiful tanned skin. His long black hair bushed away from his alluring blue eyes, he was truly a perfect man.
“Thou have news, Edward.” Eve stated,
“Jacob is dead, my mistress” the voice was angelic as poison.
“Such a shame, a good man t'was thou,” Eve said with no sympathy at all.
“You always favored him, I do not understand why. I am more man than that weakling ever was.”
Eve smirked. Pride and Envy
“If he was not already dead I would have killed him.”
Wrath
“Thou hast held back for what reason?” Eve questioned all thought the answer didn't matter, but the reaction.
“I did not feel like it, never in the mood.”
Sloth
“Really,” Eve said with less than mild interest.
“Yes, I want what you gave him. I deserve it. I am you most loyal follower. I want the power you bestowed upon him.” Edward said, moving to his mistress side on the bed,
Greed
“Thou hast great power in my court Edward.” She smirked as she set her books aside.
“I want more, I need more…” Edward moved slightly
Gluttony,
“Really,” Eve asked shivering when Edward placed his hands on her shoulders, and placing his face in her neck. He breathed in her scent.
“Yes, along with you.” Edward said as he slipped her straps off her shoulders.
Lust
“Then Thou shall have it.” Eve stated staring up at the full moon, as Ed claimed her neck.
As long as there was sin, she had power. As long as she had the power to manipulate the will to sin, she had complete power.
Come to me, Eve commanded, at the point, in the depths of sin, when she was entered she was at her strongest. Her palm lit up in with the pendants. Her legs wrapped around the thrusting form.
Come to me, with great haste

Two blank pairs of eyes opened

“Thanks for listening Bee,” Cyborg smiled up at the monitor, which was the size of the wall.
“Anytime Sparky, that's what I'm here for. Now I want you to get some rest.”
“I am,” a steady tone filled the room causing Cyborg to snap his head down to his arm.
“Sparky?” Bee asked not liking that noise anymore than her paling half robotic boyfriend.
“Shit,” He screamed and stood up causing his chair to crash back. It was enough to awaken Starfire and Beast Boy.
“What happened man?” Beast Boy asked yawning and stretching, “and what with the annoying ringing?”
“Let's go,” Cyborg yelled frantically running out the room. “Robin and Raven flat lined again.”
Starfire and Beast Boy took no time in following, both ignoring the yelling Bee who tried to get their attention from the monitor. For that moment she didn't know what to do.
Should she wait? Or hop on her jet, if not fly by herself the whole way. “Guys, I'm going to the T-Tower.” She yelled out before the monitor clicked off.
Beast Boy and Starfire slowed down when the saw the frozen Cyborg at the door before slowly entering the room.
Starfire heart thumped painfully in her chest. “What's going on, are they al-”
The two beds, where Robin and Raven had only half and hour ago occupied, were now empty. The wires that had been attached to them were carelessly hanging on the floor, and the machine was ringing in that steady tone.
“Dude where are they?” Beast Boy asked walking into the room.
Cyborg was already checking his multitasking arm, “I don't know, but they left, and on the move.”

A/N: How evil am I. What happened with Robin and Raven? Where are they? I'll update soon I hope, because I am so feeling this story.
