In this reality, Rachel's mother - Angela Roth - never went to Azarath but she died giving birth to Rachel instead. Thus, the responsibility of raising Rachel fell to Josephine Alexandra Roth, Rachel's maternal grandmother. Apart from that difference, Trigon never bothered to check on Rachel here unlike in the other reality where the future Raven came from. For this reason alone, Rachel grew up like any other kid, apart from a few mishaps which she thought was the result of an overactive imagination.

Hence, when Josephine Roth saw Rachel's suddenly large belly that morning, her grandmother was horrified and had wanted to have the babies terminated at once. However, with a thousand years of memories now crammed into Rachel's head from her future self, she used her newly discovered powers to change her grandmother's mind. Even though she loved her grandma, Rachel now loved her five unborn children more than anyone in the world. So it wasn't a surprise when she didn't feel mildly guilty for using her power on her grandmother at all.

Thereafter, as she sifted through her new memories, Rachel learned that Raven from the alternate future had been under Trigon's control for a thousand years and had truly turned against her evil father when she became pregnant from the experiment which was intended to create the ultimate weapons for Trigon's plans to subjugate other worlds. It was somewhat sad that the future Raven didn't see herself as a redeemable character and had tasked a seventeen year old version of herself to right her wrongs and rewrite history.

After she realized the threat that Trigon posed, Rachel decided that she would drop out of school and focused her attention in preparing for her children's safe future. She knew that she would have to resort to using the knowledge that she had acquired to support her family.


It's only been a few hours since Rachel found herself pregnant with five children. Four hours when she felt like there was something wrong with the world already. It didn't help at all when Rachel could feel her children getting agitated in her womb. It was only after breakfast while she was helping her grandmother wash the dishes when something happened. She felt it when her babies suddenly used their powers to turn on the TV in the living room.

It was then that Rachel heard the news.

"In our latest update after Superman fell from the sky four hours ago," The news reporter began. "We learned that there are others who have also suffered the same fate as the Metropolis Hero. Other superheroes have become unconscious and they remain unresponsive to any medical treatment. Still, we wonder what is the cause of this mysterious affliction that has befallen our heroes? The heroes whom we know as Superman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman and perhaps others more..."

'PAPA! PAPA! ' Rachel's children mentally cried out without warning and Rachel couldn't help but curse loudly when she heard them, "Oh, Shit!"

"Rachel! Language!" Rachel's grandmother scolded her.

"Sorry!" Rachel said automatically. "Grandma, are you able to finish the dishes by yourself? I need to do something really important right now."

"Yes, of course. I can -" Her grandmother started to say but Rachel teleported into her bedroom before her grandma could finish speaking.

Once she was in her room, Rachel instantly dashed towards her study desk, where her old laptop was.

"The entire reality must have shifted when you appeared in this time, little ones." Rachel remarked to her children. "Your sudden existence is already an anomaly in this reality and it must have affected your fathers. All five of you have their DNA afterall..."

A moment later, Rachel opened her laptop and set to work. After sifting through her memories from the future, she hastily found the spell that she needed to transform her ordinary laptop into something more advanced. With a brisk chant, she watched as her old laptop turned into a sleek and transparent-looking Ipad with holographic displays. Now, she was holding a supercomputer that was fast, untraceable and could hack into anything, even the government highly secured files, among other things.

She was glad that the Rachel from the future had lived for a thousand years that the ancient woman had studied the vast knowledge she had stolen from the worlds she had helped destroy. These worlds consisted of the advanced civilizations that had all the knowledge of the world, which the future Raven had taken, studied, developed spells on, and even made improvements. More than that, if compared to this timeline to the one her future self had seen, the twentieth century was almost ancient history.

For a thousand years, the future Raven had accumulated so much knowledge that she had the answers to all the world's problems that would make life easier. Even though she had become notorious as the Destroyer of Worlds, she had certainly been interested in technology, and all matters of healing, albeit secretly. She was so interested in it that she had learned every cure to almost anything, even including the cure to cancer and Raven had also discovered the universal vaccine that would keep humans immune to any type of virus. Until much later, Raven had finally found the secret to immortality, where she had immediately used this new found knowledge to turn herself into a true immortal and get to live for a thousand years.

Now, Raven was concerned about the grim news regarding the unconscious heroes and possibly the fathers of her five unborn children. She knew that she had to do something about it.

"I already half suspected who your fathers were, but holy hell!" Rachel said as she started doing her search.

With memories from her future self, Rachel had learned a lot of things, including the secret identities of the heroes that had died but still remained alive in this timeline. Apart from that, Rachel was also cursed with memories of the future Dark Raven torturing the same heroes and using their weaknesses to break them until they wished they were dead. Regrettably, she recalled that it was Superman who lasted the most against Dark Raven.

"Clark Kent. Age 28," Rachel murmured as she read his files in her holoscreen. "Born on July 13, 1987 in Smallville, Kansas. Parents are Martha and Jonathan Kent. Hmn...he is also currently working as a reporter in The Daily Planet and living in Room 323 at Herald Towers, 50 W 34th street, New York."

Rachel skimmed through Superman's files. She already knew most of the information from Dark Raven, who had made it her mission to find each and every weakness she could use against the Man of Steel. So Rachel decided to turn her attention to the other men who might be also her children's biological fathers.

"Let's find out the rest of the superheroes who lost consciousness, shall we?" Rachel said to her children, who were currently actively moving excitedly in her womb.

She searched the internet for the latest news on the superheroes who were alive in this timeline. Afterward, Rachel pulled out their files and created a list of the heroes who lost consciousness in the last four hours. It didn't take long for Rachel to find out who they were.

(Shazam) William 'Billy' Batson - November 10, 1996 (19 yo)

(Nightwing) Richard 'Dick' Grayson - April 7, 1994 (21 yo)

(The Flash) Bartholomew Henry 'Barry' Allen - March 14, 1989 (26 yo)

(Green Lantern) Harold 'Hal' Jordan - September 21, 1988 (27 yo)

(Superman) Clark Kent - July 13, 1987 (28 yo)

(Constantine) John Constantine - June 4, 1986 (29 yo)

(Aquaman) Arthur Curry - January 31, 1985 (30 yo)

(Green Arrow) Oliver Jonas Queen - May 16, 1985 (30 yo)

(Batman) Bruce Wayne - August 27, 1985 (30 yo)

As Rachel wrote and read the list of names, she realized that these were the very men that Dark Raven had tortured. Raven from the future had kept these men alive to extract information from them regarding the resistance cells who have been a complete nuisance in Dark Raven's plan to conquer earth under her father's order. Dark Raven had interrogated them and had delved into the minds of these heroes that resulted into her knowing them more than she knew herself.

Rachel now had memories of how these men had suffered under Dark Raven's mental torture. They had endured the endless days of hallucinating images of them killing their loved ones or being tortured by Dark Raven herself. Although once the future Raven had gotten the information that she needed, the heroes' usefulness had run out and Trigon had instantly ordered them killed. Raven, however, hadn't done what her father had asked. After constantly rifling through the minds of these heroes, Raven had come to understand them deeply, and even admired the ones who most have considered weak because of their very own humanity.

So when Trigon ordered these heroes killed, Raven had been struck by conscience that she had lied to her father and told him that she had killed them. In truth, she had cast a sleeping spell on them instead to make the heroes sleep for all eternity, and had secretly preserved their sleeping forms in another pocket dimension she built solely for them. Even as their sworn enemy, she had commended their dedication to save their world and their sheer will to survive, despite the fact that most of them were merely humans with no special powers, like Nightwing, Batman and Green Arrow. So Raven had kept them alive, but asleep. Although she should have known that her lies would eventually catch up to her years later.

It took many years when Trigon found out about Raven's betrayal, and when he finally did, he did not hesitate to punish her. After Trigon had awoken the sleeping heroes, he had immediately set his mind to torturing them in front of Raven. Still, that hadn't been enough for her father and Trigon did something far worse. Rachel should have known that Trigon had taken the needed genetic material from the heroes right before he killed all of them.

Thereafter, Raven soon learned what her father had planned. Trigon was going to use her children to twist them into his image and in turn besmirched the image of their heroic fathers. However, Raven had put a stop to Trigon's plans before her children could be used as weapons. Even though some of her childrens' fathers were humans with no special powers, but it seemed that Trigon had not cared about this fact. Perhaps Raven's father had done it to serve as a lesson for her betrayal. In the end, Raven had no choice but to send her children back in time and in an alternate reality to keep Trigon from finding and using them.

Now, the seventeen year old Rachel had to contend with the consequence of her future self's action. She needed to do something about her childrens' unconscious, biological fathers. Rachel had to help them before something else happened. She knew that the entire timestream must be affected when Dark Raven had deliberately inserted five unborn children that shouldn't have existed in this timeline. Rachel felt only a deep sense of urgency at the possibility of her reality completely unravelling without warning.

She needed to act now before it's too late.

"Perhaps it's time for us to visit your fathers, right darlings?" Rachel said as she stared at the list of names in her altered laptop.

At her words, her children immediately reacted with excitement as the five of them agreed with her.

'SEE PAPA! PAPA!' They mentally communicated to her.

Rachel smiled when she heard her children's words. She soon decided that she probably had to visit the heroes one by one and try to help them regain consciousness. However, Rachel would make certain that they won't remember a thing about her afterward. For sure, they would want questions that Rachel was not ready to answer yet.
