A girl sat up in a pitch black room, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead breathing heavily. Her mind racing of the nightmare she had, though her shaken mind knew that it was no made up fiction that her subconscious had created, she new it was a vision. A message from her father. She threw her navy blue covers off her and grabbed her cloak, she walked through the door and looked out the window. She knew it was late around 1am but it was a Saturday which meant that the boys did their stupid 'boys night' and normally herself and Starfire would find them asleep on the sofa with junk food littered around them in the morning.

As she quickly reached the doors to the common room she saw her idea was right Cyborg, Robin, and BeastBoy were asleep, their video game flashing with the ironic words 'game over'. Her hand hit the light switch and the room was brought to life, "huh?! Whats going on?" Robins groggy vioce asked sitting up "yeah, ever heard of let a sleeping dog lie?" BeastBoy quizzed as he turned himself into a dog. Cyborg rubbed his head and turned around "hey Raven why did you-" he stopped once his eyes met Ravens her face was full of panic. Robin quickly picked up on this and also and stood up "Raven? You dont look so good? Are you okay?" Raven stood still her head was trying to say something but she was at a loss, how could she possibly tell her friends that her demonic father has returned and bigger and better then before? So instead she shook her head and put her arm against the wall to keep her balance she had go fight the urge to fall down and curl into a weeping heap.

"Raven?!" All three ran over, Robin and BeastBoy helped her over to the edge of the sofa wiping away the litter. "Get Starfire." Robin ordered Cyborg, and within minutes Cyborg returned with a worried Starfire. "Raven you are ok yes?" she asked her voice full of sympathy. Raven struggled to put her words together, "yes. No. Hes back." Robin kneeled beside her "whose back?" her eyes locked with his "Trigon" she whispered. "No!" BeastBoy said, "Please Raven does that mean that you are again the Gem for his terrible plan?" Starfire questioned. Raven shook her head "no". Cyborg smiled "thats good then! How is he now getting here now though?" Raven sighed "thats the point. Hes already here" This shocking news earned a unison gasp from the group.

"Okay Raven tell us from the beginning" Robin asked, he had gathered everyone by the dinning area in which everyone was sitting around the table. Raven who looked deathly pale, sighed and she shakenly started her story though she stared at her lap the whole walked the Titans through her vision what she saw and heard, she told them about the smoke and fire, and about the whispers and giggles and the part were her voice was almost lost, when Trigon appeared before her own violet eyes. "If he did not need you then how did he possibly already be here?" Starfire asked, Raven pulled up her hood "theres loop holes, they are in every universe and dimension he must of manipulated them to somehow come here. I should of realised he would try this!" at her last sentence the cupboards blew off their hinges. Starfire shook her head "it was not your fault Raven you didnt know" Starfire put her hand on Ravens shoulder, but Raven stood up and walked over to the window, and tilted her head and stared at the rising sun orange smuged into the horizon while the top of the sky was still a watercolour blue.

"If he could just manipulate the loop hole thingys why didnt he just do that before?" BeastBoy said puzzled, Raven shook her head "the loop holes have always existed, even before Trigon. But they disappear, re-disappear, open and close randomly, its impossible to tell were they would turn up, and impossible to tell were you would end up if you went through one. Not even Trigon could control them to his power. Well until now." Raven looked back at the group. "if he's here why is everything normal?" Robin stepped forward "because he can only get a part of of him through, the longer hes here more of him passes through the loop holes which means the more powerful he gets" Raven replied. "so all we need to do is destroy the loop hole?" Cyborg asked, Raven sighed "its not that easy, you cant destroy a loop hole it cant be done" Cyborg carried on "but you didnt think loop holes could be controlled but Trigon has done it? Maybe there is a way?" Raven who was getting irritated by the questions so she crossed her arms "okay then so lets assume that there is a way to destroy one, it could still backfire and instead destroy everything on both sides, and if it didnt it would mess up the fabric of our dimension, and probably lose reality and life as we know it". BeastBoy held his arms up in surrender "okay, bad idea".

Raven who had grew tired of talking as-well as she felt her emotions were going to cause havoc if she stayed so she quickly walked past them and out the automatic doors, as she began walking down the corridor she heard the doors give another soft woosh. She already knew who it was "Robin I dont want to talk about it anymore". Robin caught up with her and stood infront, "okay, but what about you Raven? Are you ok?" Raven thought it was a pretty stupid question but she answered in her normal monotone voice "if you dont count the fact that the overlord of the underworld who just happens to be my father has made his way through Azar knows how many loop holes to come to Earth and destory everything, not to mention the fact that demons are going to follow their demonic leader and help him take over world and any other planets in this sector. But apart from that Robin, yeah im fine." Raven looked down suddenly taking a interest in the floor, Robin put his hand under her chin and gently lifted her head to look at his, "Raven, everything will be okay we have defected Trigon once and we can do it again. I dont care if I have to go back into hell to come get you a thousand times over." At this Raven gave a slight smile and put her hand on Robins which was still under her chin "Thanks" at that she let go of his hand and walked round him, back down the corridors and into the comfort of the shawdows.
