In the center of Hell, you stand before Trigon's prison, a giant red crystal thanks to Raven. You could feel his trapped presence demanding to be let out, while at the same time biding hid patience. Holding your hands out, black flames ignite around them and you shoot it at the crystal. Giving it everything you had, hoping to break it this way. But it was futile, the spell was stronger than your demonic powers. Tapping deeper into your newly discovered powers, absorbing ever dark emotion, and being in Hell it amplified it more beyond anything you could imagine. The power you conjured overflowed, why didn't know years before you could do all this. All this time, you barely scratched the surface of it, having to remain careful and cautious whenever you used them.
Here, Trigon came you full access, sure you physical form changed to a more demonic look. But, it was part of your genes which you fully embraced. Your desire to be reunited with Trigon, all the he showed you and told you. Every single word hid no lies, nothing but truth came from him. You would show him how much you cared for him, he would see how grateful you were of him being your father. And be proud of you. Putting more into it, it still did not break. Cursing Raven under your breath.
Sensing your anguish."Why have you stopped?"he demands.
"I'm sorry father, but that witch..."you sneer."The charm she put is more powerful than I thought. I don't have powers in the mystical arts, but I will find a way to get you out of your imprisonment, Father. Than we can be together, forever."You get down and kneel."There is no need for, my sister."you say with detest.
"Apparently there is."Trigon berates."If I didn't than you would have freed me by now. But it appears you do not have the power like, Raven. Your's is nothing but mediocre compared to her's. If you cannot break a simple charm."
"Father I am doing all that I can."you explain."I have just barely tapped fully in the power that has been laying dormant inside. In time I will have the necessary power, needed to release you. I don't understand why you wish for her assistance, when she has done nothing but shun you and dishonor you. You are nothing but consider dead to her, I on the other hand, am grateful for your very existence. Knowing that little witch she'll just flee and be selfish. With no consideration for her family. Unlike myself. If you would just allow me to of-"
"Enough!"his voice boom, silencing you instantly."As I have said before, though you are of my blood, my essence, the girl must release me. You are to be used as I see fit. Do not forget your place."
Cowering in front of him, you nod your head obediently."Yes. Father."
"You will not harm her. Now go, you are my conduit, you are nothing but something to amplify my powers, nothing but a vessel of my power, until I require them. Once I am released from this forsaken prison. When I am free, do not worry we will be together. This world will burn and become my own. I will rule it."
"...Yes father."you bow your head."I will do all that I can to make sure it happens. Thank you, father. It will be nice to have a home. A real home."
With the Teen Titans, Raven had transported everyone to her home, the ruins of Azarath a once peaceful place. Destroyed by Trigon, due to Raven having summoned him. Here she regelled them of her origins, how she came to be. Her mother becoming the wife of Trigon himself, and was taken in my the monks of Azarath, were Raven was born and raised. Only to be taken away by her father to live with him, until she escaped after imprisoning him. A backstory the others where shocked to find out, Raven explained to them how she had been on the run, until she came to the Titans. But that wasn't all she had to tell them. The question in everyone's mind, was how she and Violet where actually sisters.
"So is Violet, from Azarath too?"Starfire inquires."Was another woman give to your father, like your mother?"
"No."Raven said flatly."That's not how she was born."
"Then how?"Damian demands."How is she related to you?"
"Because not trying to be mean,"Gar quips in."She is, I mean was less moody than you."
Jaime elbows him."Dude really?"
Starfire looks to Raven waiting for her to explain."Raven, you have to tell us. Violet is, well she's not well now. She's completely changed and Trigon clearly has his claws in her. You have to tell us. So we can help her."
Raven refused at first, it was her protective nature no doubt for the girl. But she realized it wouldn't do any good at all."You know that saying, be careful for what you want. It can dire consequences." She waves her hand, their surroundings change, the sound of an infant's cries rang around them.
Coming into view a couple holding their new born baby."Who are they?" Gar points at the couple, of the man with Black hair and deep blue eyes, and of the woman with the same color hair and brown eyes. Their bundle of joy in their arms, with rather pale skin who had a good amount of hair on its head, but blueish violet eyes. With the happiest smile. The others realized who they where.
"Whoa, is that heremana's parents?"Jaime points.
"Yes. And no."Raven tells everyone."Violet was never truly their's to start. They where nothing but incubators for my father. She was born to them, but not really theirs. Born on a night of an eclipse and found the same day, this couple just happen to be walking by and heard her cries. They didn't know where she came from, all they knew was it was nothing but a lone baby. She was quickly taken in by them, into their family. Circus family. " Haley Circus came into view."She lived a rather happy life for a short amount of time, before those of my father's followers found her and my father's work began." They watch as the infant was stolen from the trailer, and taken to a dark hidden place. Set down on what seem to be some sort of alter, hooded figures surround the infant and chant began. The words sounded Latin. Raven moves them along."For years she was kept hidden and being used as nothing but a mere tool for my father. Her powers to detect, absorb, release dark and negative emotions. Which wasn't actually true, she was actually extracting the souls of another, the darker the soul the more she feed off them. Harboring as power source for Trigon. A lovely gift from our loving father. Of course Violet wasn't aware of what she was doing. Which at that I had discovered her, before locking my father away, about her presence. I had to do something. So I did just that."
"You brought my father, and Greyson to her, didn't you?"Damian puts it together.
Raven looks at him."Yes. I did. I brought them to her. I had too, after which I knew she was safe and out of reach from my father. I locked him into away. I wanted her to stay there, well protected. She well shielded, or so I thought. When she left, I didn't expect his influence to find their way to her. It was slow as he searched for her, but became stronger. He began to manifest himself as dreams. Haunting her, doing anything he could to take hold of her. To course her to his side."
"You called her to come to the Titans, didn't you?"Starfire figures it out."You brought her to the tower, to protect her. You wanted her close. So she would be.."
"Be far away from, his influence."Raven finishes."But I failed. He has her now."
"Can she bring him back?"Jaime asks.
"No. She can't. She's doesn't have the necessary skills to do so." Raven tells them, a sense a relief came from all of them."Unlike me, who was taught how to channel my powers and demonic side. Violet was not given such a tutelage. Even with the minor ones she has received on how to utilize them better. Only allowed her to embrace them more."
"You said, Violet's parents were nothing but incubators for your father." Damian questions."Why is that? Are you saying, they're not her real parents?"
"Yes. You're correct." Raven confirms with a heavy heart."Violet was never of them, I am not sure of who her mother actually is. All that mattered was Trigon was given a powerful offspring. She is a hybrid like myself, but of the other half I don't know. I have no doubt, Trigon corrupted her by twisting her fears and desires. He has a way of doing that. Which allowed him to take control over her, and because of that the power inside her like my own is now coming forward."
"So, is she lost?"Gar said sadly."Is Violet gone? What's going to happen to her?"
"She will continue to be corrupted. And embrace every inch of Trigon's power, its giving her what she wants."Raven tells them."Trigon's already put us both through Hell, in different ways, if he is released he will bring more Hell than anything Violet can handle."
"Damian? Are you okay?"Starfire notices the boy rather quieter than usual. The others look at him, noticing it too. The guilt and grief he masked. Starfire knew what it was."Damian, it's not your fault. Your words didn't cause this to happen. I-"she reaches out a hand to him, but he moves away regaining himself.
"So what are we going to do?"he steps up."How do we prevent anything else from happening?"
