The smell and sizzle of bacon awoke you from your sleep. A smell that always woke you and brought a smile to you, it was morning. Getting out of bed and pulling back the curtains to let the sun in, bring light into the room and smile. The sky was crystal blue and clear. Even the breeze that came with it, after opening the window. So peaceful and serene. The sun bright in the sky, waking up everyone. You became lost in the scenery, when you heard a knock.

You go an answer it, opening the door, finding Raven, dressed and ready."Raven. Good morning."You give her a morning smile.

She smiles back."Morning. I came to get you. Breakfast is ready."She looks you over, still your pajamas."Let me guess..You where daydreaming again. Violet, you need to change. Breakfast is ready and we need to get ready for school."

Looking down at yourself, still in your pajamas, she was right. You needed to get ready, the clock reading only 45 minutes until school started. You needed to get ready."Alright. I'll be done soon. See you at the table."Shutting the door.

Raven shakes her head. Typical. Her sister with her head up in the clouds, it would take a good five minutes give or take to be ready. If and that was a big if she didn't get distracted. But knowing her sister, she most likely would. Hopefully her breakfast would still be warm by the time she was done.

And just as Raven predicted, you came to breakfast a bit later. Dressed and ready for school, just as your plate was ready at the table. Taking your seat across from Raven. Sunny side up eggs, hashbrown, bacon, and waffles. With orange juice. The perfect breakfast, with your family. Raven and Dick. Who was cleaning up the dishes. He cocks his head towards you and flashes you a smile. You smile back. The perfect way to start the morning. Turning back to the food, pick up your fork and eat.

"Violet?."Dicks takes his seat next to you. You give him your attention."Do you like everything?"You nod your head, since your mouth was full."Good. I'm glad."

Swallowing the food, you look from Raven and Dick. Both smiling at you, made you happy. It wasn't just good. It was perfect.

Perfect.


Thick, dark ominous clouds began to cover the skies of red and orange. Blacking the skies. Whipping hollow winds began to spur, crashing waves arose. Thrashing. What seem like a normal natural phenomenon from nature. To the unseen eye was more.

It was beautiful. Just pure beauty. Watching the scene of cleansing before them. Humans didn't know. They didn't know what was to befall them. All their sins would cleansed and plagued from this Earthy plane.

"M'Lady, forgive my unpleasant interruption."They bow.

"What is it?"Irritated by their interruption. Despite their sincere apology."Can thee see I am enjoying the wonders?"

"Aye. forgive me mine lady. I just cameth to giveth thee word of thy kin's condition."

"And what of mine kin? Clearly the state beest well. Mine kin is doing a grand job."She cast her eyes back to the sky."Soon. All wilt be darken by the sins of sir. A new day shalt cometh. A world mine kin can liveth in. So what is wrong?"


"And reports are coming in, these strange weather conditions came out of know where unexpectedly."

"Winds and torrents among the seas and water. People are taking shelter. This quite a natural disaster."

"Abov-"

All around the global reports came pouring in about the wild winds, darken rain clouds. Typhoons and soon to be natural disasters striking or beginning. For those watching and quickly taking shelter saw this as nothing more than nature acting up. Just signs that was all. Some reports calling it the next El Nino or another Hurricane. It clearly looked like one, a rather great cover up for those not aware. For those who could not see and know what it actually was.

Winds filled with spirits of malevolence. Dark clouds of mystery and death. Covering the skies. Lighting of spite and judgment. Striking with warning of the impending doom, soon to follow. Earthquakes, ready to swallow. Tides rising high, to cleanse the world of all its sins.

It was coming. And coming fast.

Back at the Titan's Tower, Batman having compiled information on what he was given managed to deduce his findings. To the team, including Nightwing. Though excluding Raven, who was still out.

"These symbols."Batman brings up strange ancient symbols and similar pictures for the team to see."Are symbols used centuries ago. Talked about it in texts. The dove. Olive branch. The most prominent two. It was in the Bible, The Great Flood. God wiped out of man kind to start new. Fresh. To wash away evil and corruption. The sins of man. Themselves. After the flood. God promised to never again do such a thing."

"So are you saying, just throwing this out here."Gar thinks for a second."The Flood is happening again? How is this caused by Vi?"

"Batman, what does this have to do with my cousin? Violet?"Nightwing looks to him."Well?"

Batman didn't answer them, instead someone else did. "It as sure bloody hell does. It always has."A gruff and cynical voice with a thick Welsh accent. Along with a strong stench of cigarettes. Everyone turns behind them, seeing a small little light approaching. Footsteps approached."That's what to expect from Nephalems. Bastard offsprings really."From the hall steps a ridgy, gruff man. Wearing a long brown trench coat, dirty blonde hair, dark cynical blue eyes, a five o'clock shadow. Broad scowl, smoking a cigarette which he puts out. Flicking it to the floor and takes out another one lighting it.

Not even caring. Eyes on his him, he stares right pass them at the Batman."Constantine."

The man known as Constantine, takes a puff before answering."You know none of this is in your area. And yet you still put your head in what doesn't belong. I shouldn't be surprised really."

"Excuse,"Starfire interrupts."You said something. About Violet. Nephalems."

Constantine eyes light up, eyeing her with pleasure."That I did."He steps to her, she moves back uncomfortable. Nightwing steps in-between them, glaring hard at the man. Who clearly understood and backed up.

"Might want to enjoy that before every thing is washed away."he said."Never know when it might be the last you taste."He takes another puff, to quickly move out the way from Nightwing's punch."Careful, you almost made me drop it."He fixes his cigarette. Straightening out his coat."Better put a leash on your pup."Looking to Batman.

"Nightwing. Enough."Batman commands."Everyone, this is John Constantine. He dabbles in occults."

"Occults?"Gar looks at the man."You sure don't look like someone mysterious. Are you a demon too?"

John slides his eyes over to the teen."Aren't you smart."Looking to the screen of images Batman had."You might be the World's Greatest Detective, but you as sure in hell didn't even scratch the surface. The Dove? The Olive branch? All those are nothing, you didn't even look further. What you found here is nothing. Nothing but rubbish. Nothing but what was long gone. While you dwindle on hopeless symbols of a life past."

Tip of cold steel pressed upon his throat."You're blabbering is nothing but meaningless words."Damian said."What are you talking about?"

John looks at him. Unfazed by the glare the boy was giving. Looking over him to his father, while stepping away from the blade."As I was saying, this is just rubbish. God promising never to again bring another flood. He said it, but doesn't mean others won't. In all their beauty, they see nothing but sins and plagues. Hard to believe such holiness is tainted. If you think it's the Great Flood reappearing, you're dead wrong. It ain't anything of the such. It's a wee bit bigger than that."

"What are you talking about?"Having enough of his cryptic words, Nightwing grabs him by the coat."You're not making any sense. Do you know something about Violet or not?"

John takes another puff and blows it right into his face."Yeah. I do. You want to know?"Testing Nightwing's patience."Alright then, I'll tell you. It's really simple really. You're cousin, as you so say. You're teammate, friend, family..."he looks to Damian."Affection. Since her birth, I've been trying to exorcise her damned plague from existence."

I'm sorry if this chapter isn't that good.
