A/N

Sorry for the long wait! I lost the file of this chapter and I was so angry that it took me a while to write the whole thing again.

*Anyways, it's been decided that Cyborg will be with Jinx instead of Bumblebee!*


Megan, Kaldur, and Lagoon Boy slowly fell ill as the temperature of the room rose.

"Why do you always have to ruin the fun? Besides it looked like some deep emotional stuff was going on and I didn't want to ruin it."

Raven waved her hand up to the heroes behind her letting them know that this was her call.

"Where's Lian?" Raven stepped toward her sister.

With a blank face the woman looked at the group with confusion until two little hands nudged her leg.

"Oh! I remember now! That tiny girl!"

She stepped fully out of the shadows which exposed several dark cracks spreading around her body, making her look like a broken reflection.

However, what stood out the most was a tiny girl, whose arms were wrapped around the woman's leg.

"Ugh this parasite would not leave me alone. Always crying about 'Mommy' and 'Daddy'. Just take the girl already!"

After her outburst the room fell quiet and all occupants turned to the man standing next to Raven and Nightwing.

"Lian?"

Roy could barely hold himself together as he knelt down with his arms spread awaiting his little girl.

Viper beckoned the fragile girl to go to her father as she herself went to her sister. Lian looked at her father and with a squeal she ran to him and finally after three days father and daughter embraced.

The heroes slowly forgot their aggression towards each other and watched the heart felt moment with happiness.

As Viper stood beside her sister she huffed and crossed her arms at seeing the heroes cheer and crowd around the father and daughter.

Raven looked her over with a raised eyebrow.

"What happened to you?"

"Death didn't appreciate me bringing a makeshift soul to her so lets just say I did a lot for this brat and you should be fucking grateful."

Raven smirked making the woman irritated, "Thanks."

"Aw you finally showed happiness towards me." She teased with a grin.

After a short pause Raven saw the woman's eyes glide across the room and toward Kid Flash making her tense.

Viper noticing smirked and wrapped her arm around the younger girl.

"Oh calm down I just noticed something is all."

At her questioning look she leaned down towards Raven's ear and made sure to use a little magic to keep others like Super Boy from hearing.

"He makes you happy...and it seems you love him."

At Ravens flustered and shocked expression she smirked, but then turned serious.

"Look Raven if you want to truly stay and protect this world you have to follow your heart. If you don't want to be like me then you wouldn't let him go so easily."

Raven turned to her to protest but it was caught short as the woman's eyes darkened with a sneer.

"Don't give me those excuses either. Your emotions will only cause destruction if you let them. The people of Azarath were afraid of what you were so instead of teaching you how to handle your own emotions they made you believe they were taboo."

The grip on Ravens shoulder tightened as the woman's eyes dimmed even more.

"Stop being so scared of everything and feel Raven. Father can only control you if you allow it. You are pride Raven you do what you want. Because if you don't you're going to wind up being the very thing that all your relatives have become."

Straightening up from her position she took the spell off, and loudly announced her departure without giving Raven the chance to reply and shooting down Roy's attempt at a thank you.

"I'll be taking my leave now, and you're welcome Roy Harper and child." She waved her hand creating a portal and walked through it leaving them for good.

As she left three in particular girls walked out of the lounge.


"I can't believe this!" Artemis growled from her seat.

Megan glided across the room toward the bed as they were all in Zatanna's room.

"Me neither, but aren't they from Nightwing and KF's old team?"

"It's not even that! It's the fact that they have a demon leading and didn't tell the Justice League." Zatanna piped in finally entering the room.

"But Nightwing said-"

"I don't care Megan I'm going to tell the League! I mean what if something happens?"

"True, but even Roy was on their side." Artemis hated the team however they had to know what they were up against first.

Zatanna looked at her in shock.

"Really Artemis! Did you not see how Wally acted towards her! He could be manipulated by her for all we know. I mean are you guys…you know…even still together?"

Artemis looked down and felt tears come to her eyes. But she refused to let them fall, she was tougher than that.

Blinking them back she looked on. "I…don't know."

Looking back up she faced Zatanna with a blank expression.

"What about that Starfire chick?"

"It doesn't matter me and Nightwing are over." Zatanna pained expression.

Megan couldn't help but gasp, "Well now that you mentioned it I could feel some sort of link between Nightwing and Raven."

Zatanna shot up from her seat looking enraged, "Why didn't you tell us this before Megan!?"

The girl in question shrunk back, knowing she just opened a can of worms that couldn't be sealed back.

"I didn't feel it until Nightwing gave his speech to us"

Artemis got up from her seat as well facing the other girls.

"So Nightwing and the others are being brainwashed by her?"

Megan raised her hands in defense trying her best to explain the situation.

"I'm not sure I didn't really want to pry when everything else was going on but it could be nothing."

Zatanna said nothing as she walked out of the room on her way toward the Zeta-Tubes.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Megan flew after her.

"I'm informing the Justice League."

"What? But why would Raven brainwash him to love Starfire or even help try and get Roy's daughter back?"

"It doesn't matter what her reasons are! I have enough evidence against her to make her be seen as the threat she is. If there is a chance she's doing this we need to take her down."
