School ended and like always you meet up with the others in the front. This time you had something wonderful to show them, your perfect score on your Math test. Waving it in the air proud and eager.
"Look!"You show them, thrusting the paper in Raven's face."I passed my Math test!"
Unable to read the score, your sister pushes it just a bit out of her face and looks at it. Smiling at what she saw."Good job. Perfect score."
"Alright."Jaime ruffles your hair playfully. Making you smile and push him off."There are some brains in behind that cute face."
"Very funny Jaime."you giggle. Fending off his hand."I just studied really hard."
Damien looks at the test."You should feel proud of yourself."He praises, smiling handing back."I know I am."He leans in to give you a kiss on the cheek, when a horn honks. Everyone looks, Alfred was there ready to pick him up."Must he always interrupt."He groans. Shaking his head smiling to himself, casting his eyes back to you."I suppose I must go. I'll see you all tomorrow. Get home safely."Giving your hand a affectionate squeeze leaves.
"See you tomorrow Damien."you wave, watching him get in. He flashes you a smile with a wink."Tell your dad I said hello! And your mother too! Hello Alfred."
The man nods and smiles before getting into the car and driving off. Once Damien left the rest of you begin to walk home. Four soon became two, just you and Raven. Your mouth was like a motor chattering away about everything, sharing a few laughs. Raven listen with love and kindness. A soft smile on her, becoming brighter with everywhere word that came out of your mouth.
"Raven? Could you help me with my Biology homework?"you ask."Please?"
"Sure."She agrees."I don't mind."Taking out the house key, walking up the stairs. She was the one given the key to the house, you'd get your's when you where a little older.
Entering, Dick wasn't home. He must still be at work. Glancing at the clock, it read 3:24. He should be getting off in just a bit. Around four. Being a police officer. With him not home, you and Raven knew what to do. Take out homework and get started. Though there wasn't to be television, you would have it on in the back just for noise. Which would end up turning into watching it. Still, you would get your work done.
Going to the family room, using the coffee table. Clearing everything off and taking out what you needed to do. Raven was in the kitchen getting some snacks, calling from there asking what you wanted. Which you would respond the a can of Strawberry soda and slice of pie. Dick always made the best blueberry pie. While you sister was busy getting everything together, you got up and went to the bathroom. Walking down the hall like always, something suddenly didn't feel right.
No. That wasn't it. It was something else.
A...A voice...It sounded like a weak and faint voice. Calling to you. Saying your name. Or at least you thought it was, looking around you found no one. There was no one around. Reaching for the door knob, stepping foot into it, it became distorted for a second. And you felt this painful and evil presence. For a split second it attacked your heart, that it nearly caused you to scream in agony.
"Violet."Raven suddenly appears behind you holding your plate of pie, smiling."I have your slice. Ready to get started?"
Her presence was refreshing and that pain just dispersed. Forgetting why you needed to go to the bathroom, take the plate and smile back."Yeah. I am."She begins to led you back to the family room."Hey, if we finish early, maybe we can surprise Dick with making dinner tonight."
"Sounds like a great idea."
The winds swept nearly everything up, a man screaming for his life gets taken by the wind."Hold on!"Wonder Woman uses her lasso on him, saving the man's life. It was nearly a struggle against nature. To keep him from flying off. Getting him the ground she manages to find a spot that would keep him some what grounded.
To hurry and save another civilian. It just didn't stop. These winds just kept coming and coming. Becoming more powerful by the second, she could barely feel herself breath. It was like cold, death air. As if something was sucking the life away. The weather phenomenal weren't just happening where she was. It was all around the around from what the news had reported. And kept doing so.
Mortals.
The League had been spread out to deal with this. To help and save as many lives that they could, while trying to figure out what was happening. Not liking the fact she couldn't do anything. There was nothing she could fight against to put an end to it all. Made her frustrated. Still, she couldn't let her personal feelings get in the way.
These people needed her. Quickly drawing her blade slashes flying debris, saving another."GO!"she orders them and hurries to the next one.
Having not gotten a page or call from anyone else, on their condition told her. They had their hands full as well, slashing another. She stands her ground strong and firmly. When to shock and surprise what was now falling down from the skies. Fire. Fire spewing, like meters. Flaming meters. They didn't seem big at first, but their power was triple their size. Leaving a crater in its wake.
It seem like something out of a movie. No. Out of a text. Where was this raining fire coming from? All of this? Her mind trying to deuce it all, but she was no Batman. He would have answer to this. If only he where here or would pick up. But the brooding man hadn't at all. She wasn't sure if he had become a victim of this all, then again that was a very long shot. He was Batman. She believed he might have started saving others. Though knowing the man, coming to the most logical conclusion. He knew what was going on. That had to be the reason.
Batman knew what was happening. And like because he knew and hadn't informed the League meant one thing. It was personal. Deflecting debris with her shield, to be knocked back by the gust of wind and slammed threw a building. Quickly she picks herself back up and charges to defend and protect.
Back at the Tower, everyone was gone. Everyone except Raven, having awoke. Saw the destruction before her eyes. Her eyes saw what the norm could not. She saw humans and their souls being taken and consumed. This world being ravaged. The dark heavy clouds, dark as humanities sins. Covering all the sky and light. The crashing waters of distortion, ready to cleanse this world. She could feel the Earth shake with anger and vengeance. She could see it all and feel it.
Feel the evil in this world become swallowed up. Their presence, she could sense much better. They weren't hiding anymore. This feeling. This power was strong, evil yet pure. It was just twisted. Purely twisted.
"Violet..."
With herself healed enough, she waste no time to prepare. Teleporting to her room, grabs what she needed. Drawing a magical circle to start. Sets down the necessary items. Stepping in the center she sits as if mediating. Murmuring to herself sends out her soul self. Sending across the vast world. Her eyes see everything, every horrific site. Though they where cause of her concern, it was not her full concern. Pushing herself harder and more. Keeping her mind clear and focus, reaches.
Gasping at what she saw, though was not that surprise. Doing her best to keep her anger in control. Her sister before her eyes unconscious, no mystically being tampered with. This was an enchantment she could feel it. A strong one. She just hoped what she put on her sister would hold. Hold for a little longer, needing to wake her. She dives in, hopefully unseen. Undetected.
Into Violet's psyche and it was just as she feared and knew. Everything was being fabricated. Her sister imprisoned in a mind of lies while unleashing her darkness. Raven sends her soul to alert the younger sister, to be blocked by psyche shield. Meant to keep her out and preventing her from interfering. It would be foolish try and over and over again without her giving herself away. Then, if she didn't present herself to break just a little bit of this hold upon Violet, she would before consumed and lost. While it gave her what she wanted, it was killing her, causing her to commit horrible acts. Damming her soul.
"Azar bring the the truth of light to the darkness. Show and break through the walls of lies, to relinquish the hold. Make myself known, known to her."
Her soul self shots it self in one direct spot. With this few seconds open, she does the one thing she could do before being cast out."Violet! Lies! Violet!"
"AH!"Raven's soul violently returns back to her, throwing her hard across the room and out of the circle. Breaking her bookcase. A couple fall on her, but she pays them no mind. Catching her breath, slightly weaken from that attack. Holding her head, she felt a bit of blood from the attack. Attacking her both mentally and physically. There was spite and anger in their attack. It was not a warning. No. It was death. Death marked on her.
If she hadn't reconnected herself, she surely would have lost. And so would her sister. Shaking her head, to regain her presence and sense. She saw them, the one doing this to her sister. Now it became clear, she remembered them. It made sense why they seem similar to those from Azarath. Why it left her rather confused.
Recalling the information about them, from the elders and in the books. Now, there was a reason to worry. A reason to do all she could to save her sister. Angry more so at Trigon, who know doubt was smiling pleased. It sicken her, but she kept her composer. Walking back to the magical circle, focusing her mind.
"...I invoke the powers of Azar.."she begins.
A energy disc emerges and out steps John with the others. Gar nearly got taken away by the winds, Jaime held him down. The winds where the strongest here, meaning this was the right place. With winds whipping like this, made it rather hard to talk and hear.
"Where are we?!"Starfire ask yelling. Looking around, barely able to see anything. Though John seem somewhat unaffected.
"Damn winds..."he grumbles irritated."Can't even lite." The winds kick up more, in defense and anger. He knew right away, they where aware of their presence and knew he was here. He couldn't help but smile."Hell have no fury..."
"John!"Batman yells to get his attention, the man looks at the knight. Who by look alone demands he tell everyone. When something caught his eyes, along with another. Casting his eyes upward high above in the sky, lighting striking over and over again, in what seem to be some sort of dark swirl cocoon. Absorbing every thing while seeming the conduit no doubt.
"Violet!"Nightwing yells, his emotions took over causing him to rush towards it. To be harshly smacked back by the wind. Starfire managed to catch him.
All eyes look up."She's in there."John confirms."Looks like we're a bit late. MOVE!"He alerts everyone quickly managing to cast a protective shield to deflect the sudden attack. Everyone nearly ended up separating, Damian knocked off the roof onto the ground below with Cyborg, the two of them manage to catch themselves. Batman with his guard up, while waiting to see who just attacked.
John stood up dusting himself off while still maintain the shield. Greeting the one before him casually, with a mocking grin."Well, hello there love. Been along time."
"Who the heck is that?"Jaime asked himself confused and in awe. While aiming his cannon at the male before him. They clearly weren't human, their pale white hair gave them away, along with their smooth porcelain skin. Their eyes, this guys eyes where the same color as Violet's. But what really separated them from being distinguish, the black ink wings upon their backs and golden markings along their body.
They did look rather handsome, but that vile look in their eyes said otherwise. All eyes land upon the one in front of John glaring with murderous and unforgiving eyes. Ready to slaughter him. The calm fury upon her lovely face. Told them she was no one to be reckon with. Her wings flared out. Made her look bigger than her actual size. Draped in angelic linen dress. Elegantly wrapped around her. Leaving her back exposed and slit on her left showing her leg. Her long pale white hair smooth as silk blew in the violent wind. It was like the wind was speaking her anger and rage towards the man.
"John Constantine."she said spite in her words and voice. Raising a hand and strikes the shield he had up, shattering it. John stood there unfazed. Adding more to his arrogance, with the smirk he had. Only angered her more.
Looking at her hand, John shakes his head."Ah, love you've gone and messed up that pretty hand of yours. Shame really, it was really good. Love that hand. Was my favorite. Now then,"he steps to her."I've come to take back, what I didn't finish. Belladonna."
