A/N Just as the summary says: this is an alternate ending to episode "The Birthmark" with StarRea as the implied pairing. Meaning yuri (Although it's one-sided) Yes I know Robin was the one that caught Raven but it's my story. It starts right as Slade rips off Raven' cape.
"What's you have concealed you shall become!" The masked villain said as the sound of ripping cloth reaches my ears, exposing more markings for the portal on my back. I push myself up turning to glare at him. Even though I can't see his mouth, I know he is smirking as he loudly proclaims, "You have no other choice." Saying it with absolute certainty. But I will not accept the horror that is my destiny.
"No!" I scream as my eyes glow white and an aura surrounds my body, crackling with power. The aura takes the shape of a raven' beak as reach toward him attempting to gouge out that taunting eye. The only part of him exposed. He snatches my hand that never even got close and I felt a heat burn through my cloth covered wrist, again exposing the mark of my father imprinted on my skin. The mark that says no matter how hard I try to deny it: I will always be connected with that demon.
Slade brings his mask covered face closer and whispers in my ear, "The message will be delivered, your destiny shall be fulfilled." But I still wont accept and again attempt to strike him my other hand, the power reemerging for only the second it's not too caught in Slade' grip. He funnels his demonic power into me and it burns the rest of my sleeves and the cloth over my stomach. This fully exposes the cursed marking given to me at birth and the ones labeling me the portal I never wanted to be.
My insides burn and an unbearable pain envelopes my body as I fight off the raging demon within me. The part that loves the power and relishes in knowing Slade will give it more if I slip up for even a second. It seems like years are going by and my amethyst hair grows to midway down my back. The masked villain lets go and I drop to my knees, the war with the demon having sapped my energy. I hug my self attempting to both cover the brands and stop the tremors of exhaustion.
The sight that I was met with when I opened my eyes was one that was burned in my brain and even now as I am meditating, it still causes me to tremble at the horror. Jump City was no more and the ocean I love to look at had been turned to lava. The sky was bloody crimson and black. The Titans tower was nearing toppling and all the windows broken. Demonic ravens now ruled the land and they took flight, the pain of the sight I saw was greater than any other.
My friends – I secretly call them my family – were all turned to stone. Expressions of shear terror and agony forever encrypted on their faces. The hardest to see was Starfire'. She looked confused almost, with terror staining the once bright eyes. The thought that it would be me that brought such horror into her innocent life, the one to taint that innocence. The one who loved her more than she could describe. It would be my fault. This thought was more horrifying, more disgusting, more enraging than any other.
I was terrified. Even I could admit that I was terrified of what I was going to bring.
I stood on my feet, "No," was the broken word that fell from lips as I broke my stare from Starfire, only for it to pan around to the same sight any where else. Destruction.
"Yes. Look at it. Drink it in. behold the world you are destined to create." Slade spoke these words almost sounding as if he was relishing in them. My sight landed once again on Starfire and the the greater pain in my heart returned full force. A shadowed figure and a furious roar from a creature with the same four red eyes as me broke my attention. My terror was burned away by the fires of rage that burned hotter than Slade' new powers. Trigon.
Black power encased my body as I screwed my eyes shut, "No! I wont do it, this is just a vision. I will NOT!"
Slade grabbed my arms, "This is real and this is the future, your future, that began the day you were born. This will come to pass, I will make sure of it. You're going to destroy the world Raven. It's written all over your body."
No matter what Slade says or thinks he did, my resolve was not broken but became even stronger. The Black aura increased in size and power, I turned and looked Trigon right in his menacing eyes, "I WILL NOT!" I screamed as hard I could making sure that demon heard me. I released the power that had built from my no longer restrained rage. I screamed again from the inferno that felt as though it were turning my insides to ash.
An ear splitting crack, and time continued as normal. The apocalyptic city gone and my body surrendering to fatigue. Slade let me go and I barely caught his last words as I fell from the building, "We'll be in touch." He just had to add in his 'clever' humor as well, "Oh, and happy birthday."
All I felt before slipping into unconsciousness was a pair of deceptively soft arms encircling my body. I knew muscle was under that skin that could bend steel with ease however. "Starfire …" I mumbled as I was drug into the depths of sleep.
A/N I'm not sure if I should keep this a one-shot or not. Maybe you all could tell me with a review if you want a second chapter with an ending of Star/Rea fluff? (Hint hint)
