Ok everyone! This is my second Teen Titan fanfic the first was titled "Not Who You Think I Am". Though I will always love my first TT story, I like the one I am currently working on muuuuuuuuuuch more. Here's the beginning of my chapter in progress. Read it if you want, or wait a day or two when it should be finished. This little snippit will leave you at another cliffy so there will still be a surprise for you when the chapter is finished.

TheUbu (I’d be Ubu but someone took it!)
I’m a crazy Canadian and some of my writing may reflect that. Don’t be alarmed and run for the hills, I’m sure it won’t hurt too badly.
Ok, before I even begin to write this chapter, I’m going to say killing is wrong. Hell, if you have enough brains to read this, then that goes without saying. All humans know that killing is wrong. Sometimes it’s not that simple though. What happens when it’s a result of self-defense? I would be pretty shaken up if I were in a situation where it was either my life or the life of the attackers. What happens if it’s not a result of self-defense though? What if to protect someone you love? In a situation such as this, I can honestly say that I would not hesitate to do whatever it took to keep my loved ones out of harms way. I know it’s wrong to kill, so why wouldn’t I hesitate when it came to protecting someone else? And why would I hesitate when it came to protecting myself? I don’t know. I hope that I will never have to know but that’s just the way I feel.
While we’re on the topic, if we know killing is wrong why do we protect those who have killed? Again, I know that killing and covering up a killing is wrong and there are laws against it. If I were to kill another human being, I think the guilt would eat me alive. I’m sure that I would turn myself in to the authorities as a result of that guilt. So why is it that I know I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to protect my friends and family if it was one of them who killed? What is it that drives us to protect the ones we love without hesitation, but flinch when it comes to ourselves? This is something else I don’t know. I can only speculate, but I believe that all humans a selfless in their true nature. It doesn’t matter who you are, but I believe it is in human nature to protect others before we think of ourselves.
You can agree with me on this, or you can disagree with me on this I don’t really care. I wrote this because it is what I believe. It may be wrong in your eyes, it may be wrong in the eyes of the law, but I’ll be damned to die a million horrible deaths if there isn’t a single person out there who believes the same thing. I didn’t write this to get flames so please don’t waste your or my time. I wrote this to explain what is about to occur in this upcoming chapter and why I feel the characters behave in the way they do.
Having said that, if any of you are reading this and feel a strong aversion to the subject, it would probably be in your interest to discontinue reading this story. This, and the next few chapters will be dealing with this subject. That’s not to say it will be all blood and guts, to the contrary, it will not be very gory at all, but because it will be dealing with this subject in such a serious way that I’m not sure if I should up the rating of this story to mature. Please give me some feedback about the rating.
Now that that unpleasantness is over, do I still have any readers left? Here’s chapter thirteen anyway.

Chapter Thirteen
Dr. Light pushed Raven forward roughly until they were a few feet past Jinx. The Titans looked poised to strike but they were all hesitant. Raven’s life was hanging in the balance.
“Anyone of you so much as moves and she’s dead.” He said, shaking the Titan in his arms.
Beast Boy was enraged. Someone was trying to hurt Raven. His Raven. This man was going to suffer; he was going to suffer so badly that a slow death would be a sweet release for him. The pale empath could feel something boiling inside him, consuming him. He lost all control of his body and fell to his knees. His face felt like it was on fire and he could feel his consciousness slipping as something else took over.
Dr. Light just seemed to look at him slightly confused when his head snapped up and looked the hostage taker in the face. His dark green eyes had been replaced by two demonic crimson ones and he stood up straight. His shadow seemed to meld into him and he grew several feet. Dr. Light reeled back momentarily but regained control and gripped his gun tighter.
“Don’t even think about it dark one.” He spat. “Once she’s gone, I’ll be safe from the darkness, neither she or you will be able to hurt me then.”
“Release her now and I’ll kill you quickly.” Ordered this demonic side of with deadly poison in his voice.
The three other Titans watched in horror as one of their friends was held at gunpoint and another became some frightening monster. Dr. Light was becoming more irrational by the second and he seemed to be becoming more frightened.
“No. I’m so close to being free of this curse! None of you will stop me!” He said, jerking Raven backward. “Stay where you are! I said don’t come any closer!”
“We’re not moving.” Robin stated in the calmest voice he could. “See? We’ll just stay put here. Why don’t you just put the gun down?”
“NO! Stay away! I’ll kill her! I swear to god I’ll kill her!”
:-:-:-:-:-:
Jinx had been petrified by the sight of what Beast Boy had turned into. What the hell was it? Those inhuman eyes were just so terrifying…
“Don’t even think about it dark one. Once she’s gone, I’ll be safe from the darkness, neither she or you will be able to hurt me then.”
‘Safe from the darkness? This guy’s f**k**g nuts!’
“Release her now and I’ll kill you quickly.” Came the deathly horrifying voice of whatever Beast Boy had become.
Dr. Light gripped the gun tightly again and stuck it to Raven’s temple even harder. She let out a small whimper of fear and shut her eyes even tighter. The heels of his shoes ground glass shards into the ground as he jerked the green Titan backwards with him.
“No. I’m so close to being free of this curse! None of you will stop me! Stay where you are! I said don’t come any closer!”
‘He’s going to kill her.’ She desperately thought.
“We’re not moving. See? We’ll just stay put here. Why don’t you just put the gun down?” Came the calm voice of the Titan’s leader.
Robin’s words had the opposite effect of what he had intended and Dr. Light was becoming more paranoid.
“NO! Stay away! I’ll kill her! I swear to god I’ll kill her!”
Jinx had had it. Raven may have been a Titan, the H.I.V.E.’s adversary, but she’d never wish death on any of them. They fought, but they never used lethal force. It was now or never, soon that psychopath would pull the trigger and it would be too late. She prepared a hex and slowly started to stand behind them. The broken glass from the bank window made a grinding noise against the pavement. The deranged hostage taker whipped around and screamed.
“I SAID STAY AWAY!”
He pointed the gun at the pink haired sorceress and fired.
:-:-:-:-:

How about that? This forum bleeps out my curse words!
I know the intro authors note is heavy but that's because those aformentioned issues will be dealt with later on in the chapter and the chapter to follow.

Yep, last summer I was up by my family's cabin and decided to go for a hike up to the lake for some fishing. There wasn't really a trail so I was kind of bush wacking and I slipped on some moss. I didn't really feel any kind of revelation either... I mean, it didn't change my life in any major way. Oh well, I'm still kickin' around to do more stupid stuff  |

Exactly!!! ;D ;D ;D
I may post each chapter here because I'm beginning to fear the wrath of the moderators on FF.net. You know, just in case I do get the axe for responding to reviews.
*Mumbles about stupid FF.net rules followed by a string of profanities*
