AU where Raven decided to help her father instead of stop him.

And I know that I stated in Bat that Raven was the seventh sin, well, she's actually the first sin, that was just a mistake on my part.


A walk in the woods helped her relax and release tension. The fact that she was dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant.

Raven rolled her four demonic eyes in disgust as she threw the body on the growing pile, wondering how she ever ended up saving them in the first place. Humans were disgusting creatures, Demons were a much superior race. It didn't matter that she was half human, her demonic side was much more dominant and made up for the...problem.

When the prophecy was getting closer and closer, as well as her birthday, Raven asked herself why exactly she should keep saving humans and why she shouldn't side with her father. All these people could do was get themselves into trouble, and then they expected her to save them? Oh no.

So she did the logical thing. She destroyed her communicator and left the tower in the middle of the night.

The prophecy didn't go through though. While leaving the Titans, Raven unintentionally left small pieces of her power to each Titan. It wouldn't do any harm to her or Trigon, but they found out that if they worked together, it was more than enough to take them down.

She could remember the scene clearly, the shock and hurt on their faces as they realized who was behind this, the anger that followed soon after, she loved it.


"You won't get away with this, Trigon!" Robin hissed. "Once we get Raven back, you're done for!"

Trigon grinned, revealing his sharp as knives teeth and the blood stuck between them. Starfire shuddered, not really wanting to know how that happened.

"Get Raven back?" The Demon King smirked. "Alright, you can have her if she wants to." He looked down from his throne to the six men standing beside his throne, his eyes set on the incarnation of Lust. "Jacob, go get your sister."

The man- Jacob -nodded and disappeared while the Titans just froze. Sister?

A few seconds later, Jacob appeared with Raven, only...it wasn't her.

She wasn't wearing her blue cloak anymore, instead she wore a midnight black one. Her skin wasn't grey, but a deep red and her second set of eyes seemed to be permanently open, all four of her eyes looking menacing and glowing red.

Raven grinned, her teeth identical to that of Trigon's, only without the blood.

"R-Raven?" Beast Boy stuttered.

Raven ignored him and turned to Trigon. "You called, father?"

"Father?!" The Titans repeated, shock clear on their faces.

Again, they were ignored.

Trigon looked down. "Dear daughter, these people here wish to get you back."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "But I don't."

Starfire fell to the ground, unable to fly anymore. She would've hit it if the boys hadn't caught her.

"Friend Raven?" She whimpered, staring at the half-demon with wide green eyes.

Raven growled and turned around, pushing herself into the air as black energy surrounded her clenched fists. The silhouette of a black raven with four red eyes flickering behind her. "I am not your friend." She hissed, while Trigon watched with what seemed to be pride. Which would be ironic if you took note of the fact that Raven was the first sin, Pride.

"Rae, what's going on with you?" Beast Boy asked, his ears lowered when he took a hesitant step forward before being pulled back by Cyborg.

"Don't call me that." She hissed, the Titans didn't know if they should be relieved or not, at least something hadn't changed. "And I finally figured out where I belonged." She answered.

Cyborg's eyes hardened, coping with his hurt in the only way he knew; by turning it into anger. "You betrayed us." He growled.

"I might have. Who cares?" Raven shrugged.

Meanwhile, Robin hadn't said a word. The twist of this whole event hitting him the hardest. He thought he knew everything about her, that she trusted him, that she loved him; he was wrong.

He tried to contact her through their bond, surprised when she pushed him out and smirked. "Ah, ah, ah, Boy Wonder." She waved her finger at him, her four demonic eyes and smirk sending a shiver down his spine. He watched as a black raven took her place and appeared in front of him before turning back to Raven.

He tensed as she leaned in close, her lips at his ear as she whispered. "My mind is meant for me; and me alone." With that, she barely brushed her lips against his neck, teasing him, before pulling away. That sinful smirk still on her face as she flew back to her father and brothers.

She was the youngest out of her brothers; that part was obvious. But it was also obvious that she was the strongest, you could tell by the way she stood next to them, confident and powerful. Some of her brothers scowled, perhaps in jealousy, while others just looked at her with either respect or fear; or both.

Robin swallowed and looked away. "Titans," he breathed, his voice not as strong as it was before. "Go."

Raven tried to ignore the odd feeling that went through her body when she heard his broken voice.


Raven hadn't expected that so little of her power could do so much. If just pieces of her power could stop them, imagine what she could do if she let herself go completely!

But she wouldn't, out of respect for her father. Maybe, when her time came, she would take over, but not now.

She flinched when she heard her father's booming voice echo through her head, after almost two years, she still hadn't gotten used to that.

Raven took one last look at the bodies, ordered a nearby Demon to dispose of them, and left the scene.

She reappeared before her father, lowering her head; not out of submission, but out of respect. She would never submit to anyone, not even the Demon King. "Yes, father?"

Trigon smirked. "We recently captured another hero, and you should talk to them."

That sentence alone set the alarm bells ringing in Raven's head. Raven didn't talk, she executed, now why would Trigon of all people want her to make small talk with someone? And why didn't he state if the 'hero' was male or female.

But still, her curiosity spoke for her. "Yes, father. I will."

She allowed the Demons to lead her to the cell, pushing that nagging feeling far back into her mind.


The Demons allowed her to step in the cell, bowing to her and closing the door after she gave the okay to do so.

She turned around, and her heart stopped.

The temperature in the room dropped to below sub-zero, or it skyrocketed to the temperature of the sun, she wouldn't know, all her senses were blocked out as she stared at the person chained to the wall.

"Nightwing?!" She breathed, her second set of eyes momentarily disappearing as her Amethyst eyes returned, but only for a second. Her eyes soon went back to what she now saw as normal; demonic.

Nightwing noticed the slight chance, oh, he definitely did. He just didn't comment on it, he didn't even feel like talking to her, he just couldn't bring himself to it.

So he just watched silently. (Which took him a lot of effort, he couldn't even stand to look at her anymore) Her red skin, the black cloak, the four eyes...since when did she have claws?

"What are you doing here?" She hissed once she was able to speak again. She closed her cloak and pulled her hood up, hiding her shaky hands underneath the protection of her cloak.

Nightwing lifted his chin, his unforgiving blue eyes locked on her, watching her every move. Just waiting for her to slip up and drop her cold demeanor. "Well," he started. "I figured since Cyborg got captured, I'd go and save him. But obviously, I failed." He spoke, his tone harsh.

Raven bit her lip. Cyborg had been taken in a few days ago, he got pulled apart piece by piece. And she hadn't cared in the slightest, then why was she actually feeling guilty now that Nightwing's stare was locked on her? "He's dead." She stated, making sure to keep her voice cold and uncaring.

"Yeah, I figured." He looked away. "Saw his mechanic parts being thrown in the fire while I was being dragged here."

"Dick-"

"Don't." He growled, not understanding how she could call him by his name as if nothing happened. Was it just him or did she flinch?

The door opened and a small red Demon peeked her head around the corner, she hissed when she saw Nightwing but calmed down when her eyes locked on Raven. "Miss? Are you alright?"

Raven forced herself to relax and she crouched down in front of the small Demon. Something about this particular Demon brought out Raven's motherly instincts and basically forced her to be nice. "Yes, Nadia, I'm alright. Why would you ask that?"

Nadia looked down. "I...sensed discomfort and gui-" Raven cut her off before she could finish her sentence, no way was she going to let Nightwing know about her guilt.

"I'm fine, Nadia, you should probably go back to your training."

"Yes, my Queen." The Demon lowered her head and closed the door.

"Queen, huh?" Nightwing commented, no sign of playfulness in his voice.

Raven ran a hand through her hair but kept her hood up. "Yes...some see me as their Queen, even though my father hasn't stepped down...yet."

Nightwing made a humming sound and shook his head. "The kid reminds me of Melvin."

And that's when it clicked, the reason why Raven felt so motherly when it came to Nadia. The little Demon reminded her of Melvin, even when their friendship/relationship was completely broken beyond repair, Nightwing still knew her better than she did herself. And she didn't like how that made her feel, the fact that it made her feel in the first place was a bad thing.

Raven clenched her fists and lowered her hood, her Amethyst eyes returning and allowing him to see fully well how frustrated she was. "Will you stop that?!" She growled.

Nightwing blinked, his blue eyes filled with confusion. "Stop what?"

"That," she hissed, not caring that she probably wasn't making any sense. "Making me feel, it's irritating! I shouldn't feel, and I managed to do that for two years straight but then you had to come and ruin it!" She ranted.

'Make you feel?' he mouthed, the mini-computer that Batman trained him to have in his mind working out why she would say such a thing. He froze when it hit him.

There were two possibilities; one, his own feelings were affecting her empath abilities. Two, she still felt something for him.

Only one way to find out.

"Raven," he breathed, his eyes locked on hers. He knew she couldn't lie when he looked at her eyes. "When did you stop feeling something for me?"

She froze. "I...ugh! Damn it!" She raised her hand, black energy blasting the chains off him. "Azar help me..." she muttered.

Raven raised her hand again and created a portal beside him, she walked up to him, making sure to keep some distance as she explained. "Trigon is planning on torturing you, so here's your escape. I'll pretend you caught me off guard and managed to break free, I'll deal with the consequences later, now go." She rambled.

Nightwing tilted his head to the side, watching her with an almost confused look. However, the confusion was mixed with...something else.

Raven's eyes widened when she realized what it was, he used to have that look in his eyes all the time, right before he-

She took a step back. "Dick, don't you dare-"

With one swift motion, he had pulled her to him and his lips were pressed on hers, hard.

He pulled away, breathing a 'thank you' before stepping through the portal.

Well damn, now she was screwed. All those years of being evil for nothing.
