A crash resonated from outside. Lillian ran to the window and threw open the curtains.

Uh...Anna-Marie's here, and she brought a present. Does anybody here know an earthbender with blond hair?"

"No!" shouted Raven behind her.

"Terra," her brother said weakly. He pressed up beside her to the window.

Lillian had no idea who Terra was, but A) she was probably Garfield's girlfriend, and B) she was most likely being controlled by Anna-Marie.

Honestly, why else would her brother's girlfriend like smashing up giant Ts?

A blue ray of energy hit Terra in the back and knocked her to the ground. "Your friends are here," Lillian told Garfield. Anna-Marie turned to say something cruel and sadistic about her brother, and Starfire flew towards her with her hands blazing green. Lillian sighed with relief. Maybe she could finally relax. Live a normal life. Leave it to the professionals.

Then Starfire stopped and looked into Anna-Marie's deep yellow eyes, and Lillian let out a whimper. It wasn't over yet. She saw her sister's plan now, and it was a doozy.

"I won't let you kill our brother," she muttered.

"What was that?" Raven asked.

Lillian took two steps backwards, cracked her knuckles, and broke through the window, free-falling towards the pavement.

Any normal twelve-year-old girl would scream her head off, flail like an idiot, or black out, usually all three, before dying miserably on the cold, hard, ground. Not Lillian. She flipped twice and landed with both feet on Starfire's back.

Everybody reading this knows that Starfire is incredibly strong. But with the increased velocity and reasonable weight of a twelve-year-old girl, plus the element of surprise, Starfire was smashed into the pavement so hard that she made a crater. Lillian hopped off her back and checked on the alien. alive, but very bruised and out cold. Just like she had planned.

She hadn't planned on what happened next, though.

Both Robin and Anna-Marie's faces contorted with anger. Both raised their hands and pointed at her.

Both shouted: "Get her!"

And everybody charged at Lillian.

"I hate my job," Lillian said weakly.

A huge rock smashed into the back of Lillian's head at the same time a sonic blaster ray hit her in the chest. She blacked out instantly and woke up on the ground. So many faces...when had Cyborg and Robin became triplets?

"Why did you take out Starfire?" the middle Robin asked.

Lillian opened her mouth to warn about Anna-Marie, but the wrong thing came out.

"Is that a dagger that I see before me?" She slurred.

In the very back of her clouded mind, the part that still had a little bit of sense, a single word broke through.

Pathetic.

"Tell my brother..." she began, blinking back tears - why did her head hurt so much? - "Tell him..." What did she want to tell him?

Robin interrupted her addled thinking to ask another question. "What's going on?"

"Sister...trouble...watch out, she's behind..."

"I'll give you the short version," said Raven, gliding up behind them. She put one hand on each of their heads. Her eyes glowed white for a second, then faded back to normal.  

 Lillian once again tried to warn them. "Anna-Marie...Garfield...hurry, she's trying to kill..."

A green elephant rose up behind them, Anna-Marie wrapped up in his trunk.

Lillian smiled.

Then, with no more reason to stay awake, she blacked out. 

She woke up with Raven's hands on her head, blue energy emitting from her palms. Lillian slowly felt her head clear.

"Ugh...I feel like a zombie..."

"Shh..." said Raven.

Lillian noticed something else. "Are they trying to fight Anna-Marie? They're doing it all wrong!"

"Hush up," said Raven. "Don't overexert yourself. What's the last thing you remember?"

"My brother was an elephant."

Raven jerked. "Your mind is strong, Lillian. Anybody else might only remember everyone charging at them."

"Yeah...Cyborg owes me an apology."

"I'm serious, Lillian, you might have the strongest mind I've seen in a mortal."

"Years of practice." She stood up, ready to go. "Lets kick my sister's butt."

Raven telekinetically shoved her down. "No. You're staying here."

"But they're doing it wrong!"

"We've always pulled through before, why not now?"

"Raven, Anna-Marie is Slade with superpowers. You don't stand a chance without me."

"If we need your help, we'll ask for it."  And with that, she flew away.

"Yeesh."

The Teen Titans had realized they had to take out Terra to get to Anna-Marie, but that was hard enough already. After five minutes of being thrashed, Lillian saw Anna-Marie's plan to it's full, terrifying extent. 

She would wait until they were all tired, then turn them all on Garfield.

The moment that thought hit her, she leaped up, grabbed Robin's staff right out of his hand, and weighed it in her strong arms. She nodded.

"What are you-"

Lillian cut Robin off by vaulting into the air, flipping over, and landing behind Terra. She swung the staff over her head and whacked the pretty blond girl right on the noggin.

Terra crumpled to the ground, out cold.

Shock and amazement rippled through the Titans. Apparently Anna-Marie was having slightly different emotions. She picked up Starfire by the hair, causing the Tameranean to groan weakly.

Lillian cringed. "Uh-oh."

"What?"

"Here we go, baby."

Anna-Marie's eyes glowed yellow. "Kill," she whispered.

Starfire's toes lifted off the ground. She shrieked with rage; a battle cry. Then she turned and fired her starbolts right into Robin's chest.

"Oh no," Raven groaned.
