"Raven," A voice called to her from the darkness as she sat up on the tower, watching the run rise steadily higher.
She turned and replied, "Yes, Robin?"
The black-haired teen sat by her in the gray dawn skies. "I know what you are doing." He said after a pause.
She peered at him with an unreadable expression. "Congratulations; you caught me watching the sunrise."
Robin continued on as if he hadn't heard her. "I had my suspicions when you asked me to arrange something with Bruce at Wayne Corp; but that other day with Beast Boy proved it. You are trying to give us a chance to live our dreams before Trigon comes."
Raven didn't answer for a moment, then finally she whispered, "I just want you all to have happy.. last days."
"But this isn't the end Raven!" Robin exclaimed. "As long as you keep fighting then it is never the end."
She turned away. "Robin you cannot understand... Trigon is a demon, nothing can stop him."
"I refuse to believe that, and I am surprised you do. After all we have been through, fighting giant monsters, flying through space... dealing with Beast Boy." A faint smile danced on his lips. It flickered out almost immediately. "And you still just give in to this. I cannot just sit here Raven. Do what you want, but don't try to convince me otherwise."
Robin walked away with those parting words just as the strip of gold rose into the air. It was morning.

They huddled in the darkness; Desparos had his hands protectively around Celeste's body and she was stroking a crying Adena in her arms. They watched in the shadows, as the monk was dragged and screamed as his soul was shredded by his own life-force. Trigon didn't notice them. The darkness was their ally. Yet they all knew one thing.
The end was coming.

A/N I know it was short, but I was dying to end this way. And, of all my reviewers wanted this story to be a BbxRaven fic then I can arrange it that way, but it will be minor. So, please REVIEW and tell me what you think!
