Slade was taken into custody and Raven was returned to Wayne Manor, still unconscious it was days later and she still hadn't awoken. Bruce for his part had hired a trusted doctor friend of his to look after her. He assured them all that she was merely exhausted. In truth he couldn't be more right She had used almost every last ounce of energy she had in sealing her father in that gem. Her healing abilities had come back though not in full force. Richard would smile softly every time he walked into her room and saw her glowing a soft white light surrounding her.

All the members of the house took turns watching over their friend and every one of them marveled at the look of peace on her face. It was quite clear that when she woke up she would be free of and inhibitions she used to have about showing her emotions. Currently Tim was at Ravens bedside

"Hey Emma, guess what today I watched this killer movie with Garfield Super Human Eating Space Plants form the Moon! It was so wicked." He continued talking to her for hours and hours she was not Raven this was Emma his sister.

Nevermore

Ravens Mindscape was a mess. The battle that defeated Trigon had lasted for only about half an hour, the damage was done all the same. The chunks of rock that usually floated about were nothing more than small pebbles. The guardians of the forbidden door had all four faces smashed beyond recognition. But slowly, ever so slowly everything was beginning to mend the pebbles became rocks became boulders until forming their floating islands the Guardians would glow then small pieces of their faces would come back together a nose here an ear there.

At the location where Trigons prison was, all the emotions in their different colored cloaks watched over a white clad Raven floating in a white energy healing herself. Logic would comment that at any moment they would be up and awake again. Pink giggled any time Richard was at the bedside and glowed when Tim was the one there. Courage busied herself exercising. Grey worried herself into a tizzy and lazy, she slept through the whole thing.

Their eyes all widened as the white clad Ravens' eyes opened and she floated to the ground touching down gracefully. She was smiling at them. This worried grey, She Never smiled at them. Never

Raven examined her mindscape and shook her head in a flash everything was back in order. She nodded at her work and signaled for everyone to gather round.

"Thank you everyone for keeping watch over our father all this time, we did it. Were finally free of his influence and I can express each and everyone of you without fear"

"Hey" grey shocked herself at her outburst but she wasn't about to be the only emotion left in the dark. She quickly covered her mouth realizing her faux paux. Raven just laughed.

"Don't worry my little worry wart I learned my lesson about suppressing you"

Grey just slinked back a bit mortified at herself.

Ravens Bedside

It was late nearly 3am Raven got the distinct feeling she wasn't in her room and she could sense several presences around her. One of which was holding her hand. She slowly opened her eyes and stretched, completely forgetting about the person holding her hand. She yawned loudly. It felt good to stretch.

"Glad to see you awake"

Richards voice startled her. He chuckled at her lightly she glared at him them promptly stuck her tongue out at him.

"How long was I out" Raven said while yawning

"Almost four days. We were all getting worried" Richard squeezed her hand

"You know better than to worry about me bird brain, I always come through in the end" she had a twinkle in her eye and, had made no move to free her hand from his, it was oddly comforting.

"Friend you have awakened?" Starfire was at her bedside now, Raven looked over at her Tamaranian friend and simply nodded while smiling. Looking over a little more she could see Cyborg and Beastboy along with Starfires now empty chair over on the far wall

"You've all been sleeping in here waiting on me?"

"Where else would we be?" Cyborg yawned and stretched

"Yea after three years were not letting you out of our sight again" Beastboy said while yawning and stretching dramatically

The smile on Ravens face was bright and she moved to sit up only to find she couldn't an initial look of shock and horror faded when from under the covers came a voice "five more minutes Bruce" Tim was asleep hugging onto her very tightly. She had become so accustomed to him sleeping with her she didn't even notice his presence until just then. She blushed feeling more than a little embarrassed. With her free hand she ruffled the sleeping boys hair. He stirred slightly allowing his eyes to focus in on ravens smiling face; with a satisfied sigh he snuggled in and fell back asleep.

Her smile faded and a frown replaced it

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry I ran away three years ago, I'm sorry I caused you all to worry about me I'm sorry" she began tears starting to form in the corners of her eyes

"You don't have to apologize Raven, you did what you thought was best, whose to say any of us wouldn't have done the same if we were in your position?"

The group in the room all agreed, Raven smiled and found herself squeezing Richards' hand firmly

"Thank you all for everything my family is complete again"
