Seven raised an eyebrow, none of these names meant anything to him as yet. He'd not been given target names or the right training to deal with them but it did strike him as odd that she wanted to help even though she knew he was designed to defeat people like her. Either she was cocky or it didn't matter. "My creators, the ones Seth calls his parents. They made me in Metropolis but they moved us here, me here and filled my head with these things. I suspect they are hiding me from people like you or perhaps something is wrong. I've not seen any STAR personnel since we moved."
Seven paced slightly as he thought, using everything that had happened up until now. "The last batch of tests, there was a woman there. I only saw what she said some of the time as she kept moving but it was something about pulled funding and too much risk. They sedated me and when I woke next I was in that damned chair with those two being imprinted into me."
Turning his attention back to Raven he smiled a little "Its not nice to threaten someone while inside their head, your a guest here as much as those two are but you don't have drugs to put me to sleep like Seth does. I'm not some 'kind of weapon. I am the perfect weapon. What every human should be, least thats what I saw them saying. They never spoke to me directly. I don't think they knew I was aware enough to hear or see them speak."

"So that was what the medication Seth was taking all the time was for." she mused, mostly to herself. She wondered what sort of cocktail would need to be in them for something to supress a whole personality like that. Whatever it was she knew it probably wasn't good for him other than to prevent this more evil side of himself from gaining control. She'd likely have Cyborg scan his blood to make sure there were no other adverse effects caused by the medication later. That was, if she could manage to successfully help him. If she wasn't successful she would likely need to knock him out and place him somewhere he would be less of a threat.
So he was actually in Metropolis for a while. She could guess a certain hero that might be giving them trouble in his town. Though, Superman wasn't someone to let a weapon like Seth was supposed to be get out of his town. He would have at least let them know he was headed their way, or try to track him. Though scienetists could be tricky. Maybe Robin knew about it, and wasn't telling them, or maybe Superman didn't know about it at all. She didn't know.
"I am a guest. I came to terms with that upon my entrance. I do have backup now, however, despite them being her accidently. The perfect weapon? Doubtful. Perfection is impossible. Everything has a weakness and everything can be taken down." She told him shrugging. It just took the right combination of heroes and the Titans network had plenty to choose from.
"But we are wasting time. Section. So he's not a personality, just a personification of a task that needs to be done according to the scientists orders?" She asked carefully. If that was true they might be able to destroy it. He didn't seem like a personality or an emotion or anything, but she could be wrong. She didn't want to break the mental plane so she needed confirmation.

"I suppose thats a good way to put it. Section is what happens when Seth gets a headache, a fail safe to stop me from activating in a place I shouldn't. Cept with everything that just happened the damn thing is reacting to chemical imbalances due to stress and trying to shut everything down. Which leads me to helping you, I don't want to go back to a blank slate and lose everything I have learned. " Why his creators had given him this cruel fate was far beyond his reasoning but they must have a reason, they wouldn't abandon him. Yet here was a target attempting to save him or more likely the fake him.
"You know what your trying to save isn't real but your still trying to prevent him from being erased. If it means I get to destroy Section then I'll help, one less person holding me back the better." Seven nodded, there was more he could tell her but it wouldn't help and he needed her to focus on whatever was going on. "Perfection is hard to grasp" Seven said softly but let the rest of the statement trail away as he waited to see what Rachel's plan was. As much as it bothered him, he wasn't able to think of ways to remove Section. That sort of thinking wasn't in his processes.

"If I fail in saving that part of you then my team and I would need to bring you down and lock you up." She said with a shrug. She was being cold, she knew. The fact that her emotions were running around outside her head made it easier for her to see things objectively but she still felt them, even if more faintly.
"There are a few ways I can see this going down. Either the two of you need to balance yourself and render him purposeless. You'd need to trick it into thinking there is nothing left to do. I'm sure the scientists left some sort of way to get you back once they needed to use you." She said. It would likely give the little thing nothing to do, and therefore he would just dissapear. In theory.
"Or you could literally destroy him. I've had to supress and contain pieces of me but never destroy. It might cause a backlash and I am not really sure what would happen." She said. Either way she wasn't really sure about it. She was working in theory and not in practice. She had never had to do anything like this before and it made her nervous. She didn't want to hurt him.

"Your team would try" Seven said coldly in return. It was starting to annoy him how much she talked down to him "Don't confuse me with Seth, he is everything about me repressed and held back. "
Shifting his attention back to the corridor Seven nodded "I wouldn't mind removing Section completely, least Seth has a purpose. I'll help you destroy him in return you help me open the locked doors. Then we both get what we want and everyone can be happy. Though where he hides I don't know. They hide him from me, probably know what would happen if I ever found it."
Rolling his shoulders VII smirked "The scientists just wiped my memories every time I was training but little bits remain still. Like you said, its hard to remove proper memories." The thought of rending the mental troublemaker to bits was actually a really really nice idea "So lets find that freaky looking virus and eject it."

"You may be strong, or whatever those scientists made you but you have little to no field experience. You'd be against more than just my team, but if it came down to it the entire Teen Titans network. I think pretty much everyone would be hard pressed to find a way to take us all down." She said, now walking around to look for the little thing that they were meant to destroy, as well as pondering ways to do that. There were the relatively straightforeward ways but she didn't have experience in this, and there was little in this real that she could fling at it. She wondered, breifly, if sending it to another dimension would take care of the problem, and if she could send things to alternate dimensions while she was in someone's mind.
"Still, I'm sure at some point when they were ready to unleash you on the heroes, as is your purpose, there should be a way to get rid of Section and supress Seth. Both would hinder you from doing your job properly, if I'm following correctly. Which means there should be a metephorical killswitch that they could access when the time came and get rid of Section. " She said. She wasn't even sure if she was understanding properly. She had never seen a mind that was this compartmentalized. She wasn't sure it was possible but she assumed with the drugs and the experiments it could do something like that. She wasn't even sure what he was. He couldn't be an average human if he was created to kill heroes. That would not make sense.
"What are you?" She asked curiously. "Not you as in you, you as in you and Seth as a whole. It wouldn't make sense to place you against heroes and be....average." She asked still looking around. She was flying now, mostly to give her more speed. This shouldn't be so hard, but it still was.

"I already told you what I am. I'm perfection. Human perfection engineered to be the ultimate soldier. Thats what they told the woman. I can be imprinted with information like Seth. You say I have no field experience but I don't need it. I learn, adapt or just given the knowledge they wanted me to have before field testing. I have vague memories of field tests, but they erase everything after they are done." Seven grimaced at the thought, like Seth he hated the labs and the things they did to him.
"Section is new, the medication brought him. Seth was tried before, to make me fit in around other soldiers but I always returned. Once they made me take the pills well you've seen the results." Seven was starting to think that without the medication the intruder would be gone but this was the result of that. Section was trying to make him blank again, probably so that they could pick him up and mold him again. "Why are you helping me? You know what I am, what I am supposed to do but your still trying to stop it. That doesn't really make much sense, logic dictates you allow Section to succeed and then deal with my prone body."

"A human body would not be able to last against Starfire, or Cyborg or Beast Boy, let alone someone like Superman. I don't care how perfect your scientists claim you are." She said. Humans are squishy, that was a pretty much a norm. He just might be able to take on Robin, if he was trained in combat. She wasn't really sure. It would depend.
"I'm helping you because your body is laid out in my bedroom and most likely slowly becoming insane. Being in this town....Dr. Light doesn't tend to commit crime anymore. If some sort of prize on your head got him to try and kidnap you in MY town, needless to say it's going to happen again. If we left everything back to the way it was it would continue to happen again and again." She said, trying to explain. "I won't be around every time to prevent you both from becoming insane." She told him, shortly.

"Normal human, yes." Seven replied, he was confident in what he was created to do. Everything could be defeated with the right method. Which it dawned on him meant him also. Perhaps Raven spoke the truth but that didn't make sense, why create him unequal to these people she mentioned? Stopping at one of the doors with the chains and locks the clone ran his fingers along the cold steel that bound the doors shut. He wasn't totally sure what was behind these, there was seven of them in total all at different intervals but he could feel their importance. He wanted them opened, to see what was being kept from him.
"Dr Light, he was the one that started all this off. His reaction to you was amusing. At a guess the woman wants me back, I was to be her soldier once complete but Greystone took me away for some reason. If I am following your logic you intend to use me as bait to find her or whoever hired the Dr. Though you don't need me functioning for that. You wish to see Seth survive and prefer me to be locked away again." Seven frowned at the thought, now that he was in control more than he had ever been the teen wasn't sure he would let her put him back in the box so to speak.
Section for his part was hiding, waiting for them to move onto the next part of the mind so he could get back to emptying these rooms. There was a system in place and he would follow it exactly.

"Bait. I don't like the term, but it's fitting. Unless you become detrimental to us, we will be unwilling to lock you up. Taking this into consideration means we'll have more and more villians coming in to try and capture you." She started, trying to explain what she was thinking. There were so many places the little bugger could be hiding but she just couldn't find him.
"What I would prefer is that you and Seth could come to some sort of an agreement. We have a duty to the city, and we can't have someone around to watch you all the time if I were to supress you again. You have the battle training, he has a more pleasant disposition." She explained. As she was floating about the space she stopped, having an idea about how to find Section.
"Besides. If you were to go ahead and continue working towards your greater purpose you'd just be letting those scientists control you again." She added before sitting down, cross legged.
"I think I know of a way to find him. I'm going to open my senses and my mind to yours, and use my soul self to basically scan the area. It might make things a little quicker." She explained the reason for her sitting. She waited to see his reaction before she did so.

The purple headed girl had a point Seven thought, the scientists hadn't really treated him that well. In the short time of having Seth in his head he had had the chance to view morality and ethics. How humans really treated each other and how his life was up until then. Truth be told he didn't want to go back to how he was. It was cold and empty, always waiting for the purpose to be given to him. Could he make his own purpose? These villains, like Dr Light would prove sufficient prey for him to test himself against surely. That idea did have some merit.
Watching her sit down was a little weird, he expected them to track down Section not sit around. Soul self and linking minds was well beyond anything he knew but the clone would trust her since she had yet to give him reason to think otherwise. "Sure, whatever you think is the best course of action here" Seven nodded and moved closer, figuring he might as well guard her if Section tried anything weird.

"This shouldn't take long. If I start getting close to five minutes call me back." She warned. In his mind she would be able to basically hear him calling her. Or so she hoped. She didn't think the space in his mind would be vast enough to cause her to be gone for that long but she didn't need to take the chance of her death. She assumed that even here, splitting herself would be somewhat dangerous.
She carefully opened her mind, making sure nothing else came through her mind to his. She didn't need a bunch of demonic raven chicks hopping around, they would likely be more of a distraction than a help. She closed her eyes, as she sent her mind throughout his the area she was searching turned eerily black from her abilities. The black bird shaped version of her swept the area as well for good measure.

It was odd watching the girl leave her own body and move off to explode his mind but Seven was fairly sure that if anything it would get Section out of hiding.
Section was watching and could see the dark shape moving through the area. If he was caught then who would sort this mess? Running from the room he was hiding in and throwing open some more doors as he ran away toward the darker part of the corridor. Perhaps if he went in deeper then the other two wouldn't be able to track him down.
Seven for his part watched the runt bolt off, the doors opening didn't bother him but the little freak getting away did. "Hes running away" the clone shouted before charging after Section, the thought of ripping its arms from its body was starting to sound better and better. It had been months since he had committed any acts of violence, he was missing it. Letting out a primal roar Seven chased after Section, the roar however caused the walls to shake like there had been an earthquake not that it seemed to bother him any.

She pulled her soul self back into her body and quickly flew to catch up with Seven. She was ignoring the slight pain and disorientation cause by melding back together. She was used to it by now but it was still distracting. She glanced over to Seven. The look on his face and the emotions he was experiencing unnerved her. He would be something to watch out for if things didn't finish in a positive nature.
She threw up a wall in front of Section as they chased him. She did not need him getting away again. She wasn't sure how much time they actually had to finish this. For one, she didn't need to worry her friends. If she didn't get back soon they would be worried. Then, she didn't need them checking on her, only to find Seth on her bedroom floor. She had a feeling that, that would not go over too well.

Seven didn't stop moving when the wall appeared in front of him, in fact he used it to ram Section's face against several times. "Oh it feels good to finally get my hands on you."
Section for its part whimpered, it wasn't supposed to be in direct combat. Its job was to be sneaky and removed or replace barriers not be smushed against them. With Section pinned Seven began patting him down "Where is that key, give me it and I might make this quick." To emphasis he tightened his grip around Section's throat. Unfortunately Section was mute so gave no reply as he started turning purple. Seven snapped his head to look at Raven "We need the key to open those doors, this worm has it somewhere. If its not on him then he must have hidden it. Did you see it when you were doing that weird dark bird thing?" Seven doubted she had but it was worth a shot. Now he had to decide if killing Section would help or hinder the problems. Removing Section would be like removing the mental block between himself and Seth completely. A union between both sides but that also meant he might never be completely free either but as long as Section survived he would be locked up and hidden away. Didn't really leave much of a choice, half exist with the hope of being completed one day or being locked up and controlled. With his mind made up Seven wrenched Section, snapping the things spine and dropped the corpse to the side. Section's body began to scatter like computer code. "We still need that key. If we get that I think we can close and open doors like Section did."
