After well delicious breakfast made by Dick, you and Raven head to school. The sun was shinning perfectly, you both greet the neighbors as you walk."Violet, stay on the sidewalk."Raven tells you, moving you away and switching sides.

"Sorry."you apologize."I wonder what's going to happen today at school? Do you think the others will be there today? I know Jaime wasn't feel well. I hope they are, it's suppose to be the school's big game, coming up. So there's going to be a assemble in the quad."

"I'm sure he is. Isn't the dance tonight?"she brings up. You knew where she was going with this. Your cheeks turn red before she could even say it."Are you still going with Damian?"

You look away bashfully and twiddle with your thumbs."Well...umm...yeah. Yes. I mean we're still going. What about you?"

She just shrugs her shoulders."I'm fine either way. So have you even picked out your dress yet?"By your silence she knew you hadn't."I'm not surprised really. It's a good thing though, mom and I made sure to pick out a dress we think you will like."

"Really?"You where rather surprise."When?"

Raven flips out her phone and quickly sends a text."About two weeks ago, when you where doing study over Damian's place. Mom asked if you had your dress, I told her no and well..we went shopping."

"Sorry, if I put you two through so much."you apologize.

She just smiles at you and pats your head."That's fine. That's what older sisters are for anyway. You'd be lost without."

That you had to agree on."I guess I would."

"Raven! Violet!"

Gar waves to you both at the doors of the school. Waiting with Jaime and Damian. You wave back estacticly."Hey!"You and your sister meet up with them."Good morning."

"Morning."Jaime smiles."We thought you wouldn't make it in time."

"We did. I'm so happy you're well Jaime."you smile, then turn to Damian and throw your arms around him."Hello Damian!"

He just smirks and hugs you back."Morning Violet. Are you ready for the dance tonight?"

Nodding your head."Yes. I can't wait."You squeal, jump up and down."It's going to be so perfect."

You hear him chuckle from your excitement, that he couldn't help but add more to it. And picks you up and spins you around quickly."Then it's going to be even more perfect. My dad was able to put in a special surprise. Well I asked him."He puts you down.

This was a treat and you wanted to know."What is it?"

"You'll have to wait till this evening. When everything comes."he said, just as the bell rang.

"Guess we better go."Gar thumbs over his shoulder."Can't believe late."

Everyone agrees, Damian takes your hand in his and takes you to class.


Nightwing punched John square in the jaw and would have done more if not for Cyborg keeping him back. The enraged hero did not take kindly to what the man said. To which John didn't care. There was a little bit of blood that trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he just wipes it away.

"That was a pissy hit."he scrutinizes Nightwing."I know old women who hit harder."

Nightwing was about to give him another but Cyborg held him at bay."You son of a bitch!"Nightwing hollers. Angry and disgusted.

Straightening out his coat, John turns a ignoring shoulder to him and talks back to Batman. Who was shocked himself of what John said, though didn't show it like the others."What did you mean by that?"he ask, tries to mask his own personal feelings."You've been trying to exorcise her? Since she was born?"

Lighting another cigarette and taking two puffs, John speaks."Honestly, I don't see why I need to explain myself. If what's happening needs to b stopped. This is a waste of my bloody time."

Feeling Damain's blade again on his throat."Because you have less then a minute to explain."He threatens. Pressing harder."What do you know!?"He demands."What does this have to do with Violet?! Where is she?!"

"Damian. Calm down."His father tells him.

Which was the last thing he should have done."Why should I? This idiot of a man, can't even give out simple information which I know is very crucial right now."He snaps back."So I ask again, what do you know?!"

John wasn't stupid, behind Robin's enraged demand, he saw where his anger was really steaming from. The way he held the hilt of his blade, it shook a bit. His clenched teeth tremble, his muscles tighten. His grip on the hilt was like a python. John knew those eyes, he knew well. He could almost sympathize with the boy. Almost.

Starfire comes to make the piece."Damian. Call down."She tells him. Placing a hand upon his shoulder, carefully squeezing it. Telling him to calm down. Damian didn't want too. But...did. She thanks him, then turns to John, her eyes glowing fiercely."..."Demanding him he tell what he knows. While at the same time angered from what he said.

"Touchy."John said, taking another puff."But fine, ya want to know about your friend? Fine then...It's really simple even a dodo can follow it."Moving the blade away."I've been trying to exorcise her since the beginning. Her union was a foul one. Offspring of a demon and even worse a fallen."

"Fallen?"Jaime repeats not understanding.

"Fallen, a fallen angel."John explains."Well a descendants of one at least. Everyone's heard of Lucifer. The right hand of God. The most beautiful angel. Cast out by the Holy Man himself."

Gar interrupts."Violet is Lucifer's daughter?"Jaime hushes him.

"No."John tells him with a irritated look."There's more than one fallen angel in the world. In fact there are many. Though very few actually act. The one I'm talking about deems themselves as above the divine will. Lahashs. Nasty things. As beautiful and holy. They are most tainted of them all. They have come to believe they in their eyes, everything corrupt. And doing the Holy Man's bidding. You thought it was a flood they're trying to recreate?"He scuffs at Batman, looking at the hero."Not even close, they want to bring the day of reckoning. Apocalypse. Not when the Holy Man wants. No, they've already given their judgement and in their terms. Want to cleanse the world of such impurities. Will be welcomed back into the Holy Lands. That's where the little offspring comes in."

"Are you saying that,"Starfire speculates, gasping upon realizing."These Lahashs are like Trigon is with Raven?"

John chuckles rudely and sharply replies."We're ya not listening? They don't want to rule this world. Naw."He shakes his head."They want to end it. All of it. Cast every si single person and their soul away. No souls to Heaven. No souls to Hell. They will trap those souls in endless damnation."

"Complete annihilation."Batman says simply. He turns back to the compute and brings up the incoming reports of the strange natural phenomenal happening. Raging winds and thrashing waves. Heavy storms, that blew others away.

"Damn."John clicks his tongue."Their starting already. You want to know want to know why I need to exorcise your cousin?"He shoots a sharp glare at Nigthtwing and points to the screen."That's why. This is why. When two evils come together, the sire something much worse. One able to feed off the vile emotions on this planet. And consume the souls in the processes. She's Pandora's Box, but reversed."

"She's the one...They're using Violet-"

John says it bluntly."To be their sacrifice. Once she's done for what she's been created for, a pure world. The sins of others will reside within her, sins that will bury her forever in damnation. And everyone else."

A heavy silence fell in the room. No one knew what to say. What could they say, after what John told them. The way he made it sound, was there was literally no way to even prevent or save Violet. She would be exorcised by John meaning she would cast down to Hell. Or from her maternal side, she will lost forever. She was sired from two twisted dark visions. Tainted with their blood of sins and death. Neither of them good and produced an offspring just the same. Their union was nothing but their benefit only.

It just didn't make sense, to any of them. The Violet they knew seem the complete opposite of what she was. And made from. Then again could all be a fake? Did she knew now? Was just nothing but a Judas? All these questions begin to pile up, but one thing that didn't make sense, someone had to say it.

"If she's what you say?"Damian steps to John."Then how was she able to be born a human? What part of her history do you play in? Because it sounds to me, that you clearly know her and have known her from years. Yet you hadn't bothered to do as so claim to do. Exorcise her. You clearly had adamant amount of time. So why didn't you?"

Nightwing realizing he was right."Yeah. Why didn't you?"Giving John a look to choose his next words carefully.

But the man was unfazed. His eyes harden and become defensive."This ain't about me!"He lashes and quickly regains himself."Right now, stopping what soon to come is more important."He takes out the cylinder container he took from the crime scene.

Gar recognizes the name."Hey? That's from that cafe Raven and Violet would go to all the time...and that's Violet's favorite flavor."

"You are sharp."He said sarcastically."Nightshade, moonseed, black locust, powder Deadly nadder scales and a few drops just to sweeten it komodo dragon saliva. Yeah, her favorite drink. Everything I just named has been given to her. A combination like this can put one like herself twist the mind and soul. Bring her into a deep sleep, similar to Sleeping Beauty. The only problem with it, there ain't no happy ending. It's nothing but pure poison. And with the right help and enchantment she's by far long gone."

He tosses the canister to Batman."Don't even bother."John read what he was thinking."There ain't know way she's coming back from. It's been given to her little by little for a long period of time. If she was full blooded then it would only have a minor effect, but since she's not. Well, better start making her eulogy."

Cyborg quickly held Nightwing's enraged punch on John. Telling him to clam down."Don't you dare say that!"Nightwing lashes at him."Violet's my cousin. She's my family. I will SAVE her."

"Then you're a much bigger idiot than I thought."John said coldly. Turning back to the screen. Looking at the natural disasters, his eyes saw what the others couldn't see and it tormented and pained him. There was no time to feel conflicted, with very little time to do what needed to be done. He had to make right what he couldn't, years ago.

With Belladonna all these years, she's waited. He thought by removing her kin, he could stop it. Stealing from her to prevent it. Banishing them, but it was a weak one. This world needed to be cleansed. Smoothing she brushes your hair.

"My dear kin, thoust have done a deed more Holy than ever."she whisper gently."This world will be cleansed and all shall be right."

"Violet!?"Raven's eyes shoot open in horror and fear."Violet."
