Raven's Second Worst Nightmare

Raven levitated in the air when she heard a loud crash. She fell down and slowly jumped up. She then looked out her window. 'It's not raining. Someone must have broken something. Probably Desdemona.' She thought. But then she smelt something burning. She walked out of her room and followed the scent which lead her too Terra's room. She opened the door and once again everyone was there along with a new person.

The man stood up. He had light white skin and an oval's face. Light brown eyes and spiked up brown hair. He wore a dark blue tee shirt and jeans with dried up muddy sneakers. 'No. Not him too.' Raven thought desperately.

"Desdemona. What do you want?" The man said. He had somewhat of a deep voice. As he turned around he had seen everyone else. Then he came face to face with Cyborg. "Oh. Wow hello." He said backing up to his sister. "Yeah where are we?" He asked.

"Damn I feel short." Desdemona whispered glancing at the floor. She then looked up at her brother. "Titans Tower Alex." Desdemona then looked at Raven in the eyes. "Oh and look who decided to say hello also? Raven!" The man turned his head and seen Raven also.

"Wow. I haven't seen either of my two sister's together for years."

"What are you doing here?" Raven asked them. "Desdemona acted like the dumb idiot she is and came here when she could have left and gone up to-" But she was cut off my Desdemona.

"You say the name and I will kill you. The place has done nothing for me other then hurt me! I tried to go home but I got these and many more everywhere! So say the name and I will kill you!" Desdemona yelled. Her eyes turned blood red with anger, and all her scars began to bleed as a white mist swirled around her feet.

"-home." Raven finished. "Just what are you doing here?" Raven asked having fear swell up in her chest. 'Pissing off Desdemona is worse then pissing off me.'

"Desdemona summoned me here. That's all I could really tell you. I don't know why either."

Beast Boy walked in front of Desdemona. "Because I wanted to meet Raven's brother Alex. If she never told us about Desdemona or Alex then how were we too know about her family until they came onto our door step looking for her. Like…like Desdemona said."

Desdemona's eyes turned back to their brown and the white mist disappeared. "Why haven't you told them about your family Raven? I've been importing messages into your mind telling you that I would come and see you soon. Why have you never told them about us?" Desdemona asked her mind racing.

"Because our family is bad enough! Our father is a demon. Our mother is human. Alex is human. You're demon. And I'm a telepath! That's why! Our family is one hell of a screwed up family! You're just like our father! And he's-" But before she could utter out another word a fire ball went passed her shoulder and gave her a small burn.

"Another reason I couldn't stay here Beast Boy. No matter what I do Raven can only insult me and she ends up getting hurt because she sucks at hitting me back." Desdemona answer her arm outstretched and her palm lit with fire. "Don't ever say that I'm like him. Never! He has caused me nothing but pain. He fed me lies. He is the reason why I sleep in the cold air never able to return home. Because everyone thinks I'm just like him. Mother is the reason why you know the truth why you don't have to work that hard to keep your powers under control. Why you have a real home. Why you can go home and everyone accepts you there. Why you can go see your friends at home but none of mine can see me! And know that I miss them! And no that I could use their help! That none of them no just how much I cared for them! You think I have an easy and relaxing life! Why don't you learn how it's done and live without a home! And live without friends! Why don't you go shove that little piss ass attitude and go shove it up home's ass! Why don't you go off hunting demons everyone night for food so you can live in this world! Why don't you go out looking for a home every god blessed night! Huh? Why don't you do all of that shit! Why? I'll tell you why you don't! Because mother got to keep you and Alex while father kept me because of my demon powers! That's why! Mother is the one that taught you how to live your life and how to keep yourself under control! While father taught me the lie's I know and abide by! How to survive throughout this damn world! While father taught me that it's every man or women for his or herself! But no! You have the god blessed Titans and since you all save the god blessed day you all get whatever you god blessed want! Isn't that right Raven! Just because you save a god-blessed town you think your so god damn special. You think your better than everyone else! So you know what! After I free Terra I am getting out of this town! I'm going back to the underworld. Surviving the way father taught me! And then you know what! That'll be the last time you see me unless you come to my funeral. If you ever cared so much as a speck of this family you know that I have the Jolece's Fever! Yes Raven! The Jolece's Fever! The one that can kill you at any time! The one that can only be cured by I don't know because I'm not allowed at home!" Desdemona screamed at Raven. Her eyes began to turn blood red again and black mist circled around her. The wind began up again and thundered began to crash again.

Desdemona began again. "Because they tell me I'm too much like father! Well you know what! Home can shove it! And home can die! I have no home anymore Raven! I have no home!" Her voice became shaky. "I'll never go home! Never! I only wanted the truth! All I'm asking for right now! I'd like to see my friends again! I'd like to see my damn brother and sister at least once a year like any normal family! And don't say this family isn't normal because a normal family is one that at least sees each other once a goddamn year! AT LEAST! So Raven take the time to think! I've seen Alex at least 15 times a month! He knows I have Jolece's Fever because he cares about his goddamn family! I know that he is going to have a son soon also! But you! You just hide here down on Earth! So think about it! Whose life is worse! Yours or mine!"

Long silences fell upon the room. Raven's heart and mind began to race. Beast Boy backed up to the other Titans. Cyborg looked down at Desdemona. Starfire had a frightened look upon her face. And Robin watched as Alex walked up to Desdemona. "I…I didn't know that you-"

"Shove it Raven! Just shove it! You could care less about this god damned family! If there were anyone here that's most like father right now it'd be you! He hate's everyone in this family. He only cared for me until I turned 12. I broke free from him Raven! So if anyone here is more like him right now it's you." Desdemona spoke a bit calmer.

"You're right. I am acting like father. But you're also wrong. I never spoke to you because I didn't want you to know where I was because father would come to get me also. I'm sorry Desdemona. I really am sorry. Don't go back to the underworld. That will just kill you faster."

"Raven's right. Don't go back down to the underworld. That would kill you faster." Robin said stepping up to her. "I'm sure we could live with a 14 year old. One that's Raven's sister also. Stay here with us. With that little piece of demon power we just seen I'm sure we could use something like that. After you free Terra why don't you go on the practice course with us and show us what you got? Join the team. I'm sure Raven could go and find that cure. And we would of course help." Robin said putting his hand on her shoulder.

Desdemona backed up. "No. I'm only doing what I said I would do. Then I'm leaving. I need to find the truth." She said shaking her hand.

"Desdemona. You're staying. We have an extra room here. Bedside's what happened to all your stuff that was in that warehouse?" Raven asked.

"It's in this bag." She said picking it up. "I put a spell on it so it could all fit."

"Well then you must not have a lot." Beast Boy spoke looking at the small bag.

"It's all full of books and ingredient's. Well most of it anyway."

Beast Boy gave a small laugh and rubbed the back of his neck walking backwards. "Oh."

Desdemona smiled at him her eyes turning back to normal again and the mist disappearing once more.

"Well we should all get some sleep. It's midnight." Robin said yawning. "Night Team. Nice to meet you Alex." And then Robin walked out of the room. Cyborg followed and so did Starfire and Beast Boy. Raven, Desdemona, and Alex stood there.

"Yes well shall we send you home Alex?" Raven asked.

"Please. I need to get back to Ashley. And Quinn."

Raven's eyes looked at him. "Quinn our ghost brother is with you?"

Alex shook his head. "My unborn son Quinn."

Raven nodded and Desdemona this time poured a circled with three arc's in it. They both said a spell and Alex disappeared.

A silences was cast and then Desdemona spoke. "So. I guess I'll be sleeping in here?" She asked.

Raven nodded. "Yep. Why didn't you tell me you had the Jolece's Fever?"

"I sent it to you many times but I guess you just never really paid notice to it." Desdemona answered walking over to the bag. "I'm going to cast a few spells before I go to bed. 'Kay?"

Raven nodded again. "We both know you don't go to bed. But anyway. Good night." Raven walked out of the room.

Desdemona heard the door close behind her.
