Without so much as a 'goodnight' to her team-mates, Raven headed to her room. She read through her spell books and meditated to keep her mind in check. Raven muttered her mantra, feeling calm as she spoke the familiar words. She also cast a few incantations to further protect her mind before she drifted off to sleep.
...
Raven walked through the desolated area. All around her, buildings were reduced to rubble, and the sky was coloured scarlet. She absently tossed some strands of her long hair behind her shoulder as she wondered what could have caused such destruction. Then she thought about her action. Raven didn't have long hair. She looked down at her body and realised with horror that the glowing symbols had returned. Raven staggered, feeling the strength leave her legs. She took a few steps forward but fell over. Raven turned around to see what had tripped her but the sight made her blood run cold; a robotic arm. She knew that arm all too well.
"Cy... Cyborg..." Raven hoped that the arm had only come off during a battle but the more she looked, the more that hope diminished. His parts were scattered as far as she could see. In the distance, Raven could hear cries of anguish. She followed the sound until she saw the cause of them. Beast Boy was chained to a peg as two demons were hovering over him. Every time he changed into some form of animal, they attacked him.
"Get away from him!" she screeched. The demons bowed to her and flew away. Beast Boy slumped down, panting. Raven could see many injuries all over his body from his torn clothing. There was a particularly deep wound around his ankle from where he was bound. Raven touched the chain but it zapped her. Whatever magic this was, it allowed him to shape-shift to whatever form, but the metal bit cruelly into his flesh.
"Beast Boy..." Raven said gently, reaching out for him. Beast Boy's head shot up at her voice. She could see the terror in his eyes.
"Ge-get away from me!" Beast Boy scrambled backwards, trying to escape her.
"Beast Boy, it's me.' He wasn't listening. Beast Boy tried to crawl further, despite the obvious pain his restraint gave him, but the chain was at its limit. There was nothing more she could do for him; Beast Boy was terrified of her. With a heavy heart, Raven turned her back on him. She continued to walk through desolate wasteland. Ahead, Raven could see a familiar person, wandering aimlessly.
"Starfire!" she called. Starfire halted at the sound of her name, but did not turn in Raven's direction. Raven caught up and stood in front of her, but there was no recognition on Starfire's face.
"Snap out of it!" Raven pleaded, shaking her shoulders. Her green eyes were dull and full of despair. Whatever had happed to Starfire must have been something awful to steal the hope from such a bubbly girl. Trigon's evil laughter erupted from behind her.
"Good to see you have fulfilled your destiny daughter." Raven felt like a helpless little child before her mighty father.
"Leave her alone!" Robin charged at the powerful demon.
"No, Robin! Don't...!"
Trigon picked him up by his head. The last thing she heard was a sickening crack.
...
Raven sat bolt upright in her bed. She took a few deep breaths in order to calm herself. She looked around as she listened to the rain hammer on the roof. Raven considered for the second time redecorating her room. Raven heard a gentle knock at her door.
"Raven?" Starfire asked quietly. She got up to answer her.
"I am sorry to disturb you," she apologised when Raven opened the door.
"It's alright. I wasn't able to sleep anyway. What's up?" Starfire hesitated before answering.
"I am feeling the sick for my home."
"But you are home Star."
"I mean Tamaran. I just had the most awful of dreams and I..." Starfire's eyes filled with tears. Raven felt sympathy for her. She also needed a distraction from her own nightmare.
"Come on; let's get something in the kitchen."
"You mean, you wish to participate in 'the midnight snack' with me?" Starfire beamed. Raven gave a rare smile and nodded.
