Teen Titans
Like the Sun and the Moon
Chapter 2- The Roth Sisters
The whole way back to the tower, Cyborg and Starfire bombarded Falcon with all sorts of questions.
"What is Azarath like? Do you have any friends back home? Are you like friend Raven?" asked the Tameranian not taking a breath in between sentences.
"I thought Raven would've already answered all these questions." replied the blue eyed mage with an irritated voice.
"No. She has not spoken any of her home world."
Falcon gave her sister a confused look but soon shook it off.
An hour later, after many questions and interrogations, Falcon walked into her guest room.
The room was very large, a plush bed, a few chairs, a great view and her own personal bathroom. Then, Falcon noticed something on her bed. She walked closer to inspect it and found it to be a pile of clothes. Many were pink and purple, so Falcon assumed the perpatrator was Starfire. After disposing of anything pink, Falcon inspected the pile again. Choosing an off the shoulder cerulean blue t-shirt, a pair of skinny jeans and gold low top Converse. She tried them on and found they fit perfectly. Feeling a bit curious, she decided to walk around the tower. The room one door down from Beastboy, had a silver plauqe on the door that read 'Terra'.
Vanessa vaugely knew who the blonde earth mover was. Raven had sent a few letters back home during Terra's visit and the Malchior thing. The starry sky wallpaper still hung but it was faded. Much of the furnature had been moved out and probably put into storage.
"Something dosen't feel right here." thought Falcon to herself. "It's like I can feel her constant struggle between good and evil. I gotta get outta here! All these conflicting emotions are messing with my head!"
When Falcon was back in her room, she threw herself backwards onto her bed and closed her eyes. Not 2 seconds went by before she heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." called the sorceress. The door opened with a 'wush' and her sister stood in the hallway, clutching a book. She too, had changed out of her battle costume and into a black one shoulder top, black capris and purple Converse.
"Rachel? What's wrong?"
"Not that I don't love the fact that my sister came to visit me, I have to ask, what's your real motive for being here? We share a mind link, remember? So you knew I had survived the prophacy."
Falcon broke eye contact with her elder sibling and looked to the floor and mumbled something.
"Trigon is alive." Raven's eyes sparked with rage and worry.
"What?! That's impossible!"
"No, it's not. You of all people should know why i'm here. My whole purpose for being is to give him a second chance. I was created as a 'backup' in case you became too strong for him to handle, or by some miracle, survived." she said while choaking back tears.
"I'd forgotten about that." Raven's voice low and saddening. "What do we do?"
"Theirs nothing we can do. Trigon will be much harder to defeat this time around. He won't let me survive like he did you, he won't make the same mistake twice."
"Nonsence. You will surive! If thiers one thing that i've learned by being here is that hope is always something you have to believe in weather you want to or not." Raven's emotions were causing dark energy to swirl around her body.
"But how?" sobbed Falcon. Her emotions were also causing havok. White energy engulfed a lamp and made it explode. Raven put her hand under her twin's chin, forcing her to look her in the eye.
"You have me and the Titans behind you." she said softly. Falcon backed away sharply.
"They wouldn't want to help me! I'm a demoness, I can cause nothing but pain and suffering!" White energy shattered a window due to her outburst.
"Falcon that is such crap! You don't know them, they would give thier lives for anyone on a moment's notice! Especially one of their own!They would protect you with everything they have, just like I would! I love you and so do they, even if you don't know it yet."
Falcon seemed to finally understand what her sister was trying to say. Her sudden outburst of emotions stopped and she was able to regain controll over herself.
"You're right. I was childish and stupid for getting all upset. Thanks Rae." she said hugging her sister.
"Ok, ok. Enough mush. We should probably tell the others."
Falcon nodded in agreement.
An hour later, Falcon sat on the coffee table in front of the sofa facing the four Titans who sat with shocked faces. Raven stood behind Falcon with her hands on her sister's shoulders.
"So, you're telling us that you're Trigon's second chance? That you're a portal as well?" asked Robin.
Falcon said nothing, she instead just nodded her head and brushed her violet hair out of her face.
"So, how long do we have?" asked Cyborg.
"Don't know. It could be days, weeks, months or years. But I figure it should be sometime soon. It's been almost two years since Raven sealed Trigon away. From what I can gather, he should be strong enough to break free a day after the aniversary."
"But that's in a month!" shouted Beastboy in shock.
"I know. I guess the only bright side is that I get to see my 18th birthday."
"Nonsence! We shall defeat the Trigon just like we did one year ago." said Starfire with hope in her voice.
"I admire your enthusiasm Star, but i've been over the books. Nothing can be done."
"Raven said the same thing, but look what happened to her. She's safe and sound here with us." argued Robin.
"I know and i'm forever grateful to you for saving her. Although I'd say we need a BIG miracle for me to survive."
"Then I guess we need to pull off a BIG miracle." said Beastboy with a spark in his emerald eyes.
"Thanks you guys. I can't belive you'd put your lives on the line for the likes of me."
"The likes of you? What are you talking about? You're Raven's sister, a heroien, and therefore, part of this team." Robin handed her a Titan comunicator.
"Really? You don't mind that i'm hellspawn and could potentially distroy you all?" she asked, hesitating to take the object from the boy wonder's hand.
"You need to stop putting yourself down." growled Beastboy, his voice full of determination and faith. "Sure, you're the daughter of an interdimentional demon, so what? You're not defined by who your parents are. You're your own person, you create your own destiny."
"Woah man, that was deep." complemented Cyborg.
"What can I say, Rae here has rubbed off on me." gloated the green changeling with his signature toothy grin pulling Raven to his side.
"Don't call me Rae."
