"Is it here?"


A feminine voice asked as she stepped through your portal after you did.

You were accompanied by Starfire, or Kori as you called her, to investigate a case in a factory

Usually, you would straight-up decline anyone's request to come with you, but not with Kori, she was not like everybody else

While she was not entirely used to this world, this didn't mean she was stupid, nor was she defenseless against the many horrors that awaited.

...But she was curious, so she insisted to come.


Outside the factory, your unofficial assistant, Jennifer was waiting for you, next to an unconscious man

When she spotted you, her eyes immediately focused on your companion

Jen: Who is that?

You: Right. Kori, this is Jen

She gave Jenn a handshake, but for some reason, your assistant was acting a little odd around her

Kori: My pleasure to meet you. I enjoy your music!

Jen's eyes widened when she heard this. She would not have expected such a compliment from someone like her

Jen: Y-You do?

Kori: Yes, the feelings you share in them are genuine and strong, not many artists are like that these days

You could have sworn you saw her blush, but you didn't give it too much importance

Jen: Why thank you! But I think I'm retired from that, a-at least for now

Then, you stepped up, changing the subject as you did

You: So, the beast chose a shoe factory, huh

They turned to see the building. Then, Jenn snapped out of it and returned her mind to the case

Jen: Right, y-yeah. There is a survivor, though, he's alive, but he's not conscious

You walked over to him and inspected him closely. He was pale, his eyes had bags and he was even sweating

You: Yup, we're dealing with a Hypno-demon now

Jen: ...A what?

Kori: Why are you so sure about it?

You smiled at Kori's slight naiveness. You might be a new member of the Titans, but you were anything but new in this business

You: That man presents signs of an encounter with it. He can't even wake up due to several hours of exposure

Then, you turned to Jenn's direction as you raised your hands

You: Come here, ladies, I'll place a shield on us

They did as told, you chanted something before your hands started to glow purple and softly placed them on the girls' foreheads

Soon enough, a purple aura spread all over their bodies before disappearing. Now you were ready to go

You: This will also link our minds together for a short time, we better get going now

Without further do, Kori opened the door to the factory. You were on a catwalk that provided you a good view of what was going inside the place:

Dozens of workers were hypnotized by a lizard-like demon that was sitting in the middle of the place, feeding off their minds easily

Kori (Thoughts): That is the beast we are looking for, right?
