Chapter 24
"Raven?" asked Iggy confused a bit. He went toward her but, she shuddered back. The girl then got up and ran away. She ran out the back door of the church.
Iggy ran after her. Robin followed close behind. They ran after her and soon caught up. She then jumped out and grabbed the cloak that Robin held. She ran with it and put it on as she escaped. Iggy ran faster down after her. He finally caught up again and found her in a crack where she hid.
"Raven, it's me, Iggy? Remember?" he asked and he put a hand in to let her grab onto.
"I don't." said the small child Raven.
"Well, can you trust me?" asked Iggy. His eyes gleamed and looked kind. Raven only nodded and grabbed a hold of Iggy's large hand.
"Great. Now lets go and help you flock and my team." Robin said. Iggy picked Raven up and carried her on his back. He walked close behind Robin and couldn't wait to destroy Trigon.
"Who is he?" Raven whispered into Iggy's ear. Iggy dropped back a bit.
"He is Robin. Your old team leader." he said to her quietly.
"And who are you exactly?" she asked as she looked at his wings and reached to touch them.
"I am Iggy." he said with a chuckle as she smoothed his ruffled feathers. "I am an avian hybrid. I was blind at once but, you gave me sight once again." He smiled at Raven as to say that he was grateful for her being there.
"Are there others like you?" she asked. Iggy nodded and began to tell her everything about his friends or you could call it family. He also told as much as he could about the Teen Titans.
"And what about me? What am I like?" she asked being intrigued about herself.
"You, are the most wonderful person I have ever met. You think of yourself as evil but, I think you are an angel from above."
"But, I destroyed the world. I couldn't be an angel."
"Someone's destiny, Raven, doesn't define who you are." He smiled at her and she did the same. "You are a great person with a wonderful personality, Raven, don't let some little destiny slow you down, ok?"
"Ok." said Raven feeling a lot happier. By that time the three of them had reached the surface and saw their friends fighting themselves.
Iggy put Raven down and flew over to Max. She looked at him as she fought her dark side off. "Raven wasn't the only one with a dark side." said Max as she threw the clone to the far wall. "Find Raven?" she asked.
Iggy nodded and motioned to the little girl next to Robin. She shuddered behind the boy wonder when Max took a long look at her. "Well, can she help?" she asked.
"I have a feeling not." he said sadly. "She seems to have no remnants of her powers."
"Well we all need to fight off these dark versions of ourselves. Any suggestions on how to beat them?" she asked Iggy with hope in her voice.
The rest of the flock then dove in and the Titans joined later. "Everyone switch fighting partners!" shouted Iggy. The group of heroes then all attacked different dark sides. Iggy grabbed Raven and flew up into the air. "Can you beat him?" he asked her.
"No." she said. "I can't, I don't have any powers."
"Ok." he said and landed again. He put Raven down and then took off again and joined the others who were finishing up on their fights. Once the last dark side was beaten, they all went into their owners again.
"Interesting." said Trigon standing up. "You are all better than I thought."
Slade then jumped up from almost nowhere and attacked with a giant axe, taking off one of Trigon's massive horns. He landed on a building and then said "For the record, I'm nobodies servent."
Trigon let out an enormous yelp and staggered into the lava lake. "Teen Titans, Flock! Take em' down!" shouted Robin and Max at the same time. As soon as those words came out everyone attacked Trigon with all of their might.
Starfire threw star bolts and lazar beams at the demon. Every bolt and hit was for something he hurt. Robin threw exploding discs and froze an eye. Fang flew up to Trigon and punched out the frozen eye. Everyone helped each other out and fought as one. Max threw Beast Boy into the air as he changed into a Dragon and almost smashed Trigon altogether.
Raven, however, sat in the background hiding behind a rock. "They are hurting him. They are actually hurting him." Raven whispered and then smiled. But, the smile wasn't there for long when each hero was thrown down from flight or building height. Each one was taken down with one Trigon's greatest comebacks. Raven ran up to each of them shouting "Get up! Fight!" but, none of them moved. She then ran up to Iggy and shook him shouting "Iggy! Get up! You can do it!"
Trigon stepped closer and laughed evilly. "Daughter. You really thought you could beat me?" Trigon laughed again and said "It looks like I have no need for you anymore." Trigon then attacked with his four eye lazar beam but, was blocked.
