Here we gogo, Part 5. 1 Day late I apologize.

Thank you Wolfeternity of DeviantArt for your amazing work

Part 5 Enjoy :)

The rest of the day went along pretty normal considering the recent events. Lunch came and went, with the only significant event being Garfield and Jamie's apology to Raven for the whole breakfast fiasco. There was no emergency call or crime in the city that the Titans had to respond to, and by the time dinner came around, it was like nothing had even happened. Garfield and Jamie continued to act like clowns at the dinner table, with Kori trying to get them to calm down. Raven and Damian had sat beside each other again, rolling their eyes or smirking depending on what topic was brought up. It was about 10:30 when the Titans began heading off to bed. Robin and Raven walked together to their bedrooms, since they were located across the hall from one another. They both wished one another a good night, and retired to their respective rooms. That had all been about 2 hours ago, and now Damian was left laying in bed, staring at his ceiling.

"This is what I get for sleeping in, I'll never fall asleep now." He muttered to himself. "Might as well make this time useful." Damian proceeded to get out of bed and change into his uniform, he figured that if he wasn't going to be sleeping, he might as well go on a night time patrol. Jump City at night was nothing compared to Gotham, but at least the patrol would give him something to do. Damian looked over at the clock on his night stand.

"12:43, I got time to stay out for about 3 hours." He set his watch for a 3 hour alarm, before opening his window and leaping out into the night.

Raven looked around, a familiar hellscape surrounded her on all sides. This was Trigon's domain. She tried opening a portal, but pain shot through her body as soon as she tried to manifest one.

"Ahhh!" She screamed before falling to her knees on the ground. She heard footsteps all around her, she looked up to see her father's three Demonic Emissaries approaching.

"Hello, sister. Our lord Trigon wishes you to be broken before he arrives." One of them spat out.

"Try your best, creature." Raven responded before charging up her purple magic. The creatures flung themselves one after another at her, but she was easily able to block them and send them flying with blasts of magic. It wasn't long before they sculked back into the dark. Leaving Raven tired, but safe. As safe as she could be.

"Hahaha, not bad child. Your skills have certainly improved since our last encounter." Boomed across the hellscape.

"Is this the best you can come up with father?! These pathetic creatures are all you have?!" She shouted back.

"Oh, they were just the beginning." Came from behind Raven, who spun around to see Trigon slowly approaching her. "I'm sure you'll find the next part more… enjoyable." Raven readied herself, she took her combat stance and once again began building up her magic. But nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. Emerging from the shadows beside Trigon, was Damian. A set of four glowing yellow eyes complimented his red skin.

"Meet my new Demonic Enforcer Raven, though I believe you two already know each other." Trigon laughed after saying this, as Raven tried hard to keep her composure.

"It is time I taught you a new lesson: the price of emotional attachment. And the object of your attachment will do nicely as a tool of instruction. Kill her, boy." Trigon shouted as he pointed to Raven.

"Yes, lord Trigon." Replied Damian as he unsheathed his sword and flung himself towards Raven. Raven tried her best to block his flurry of attacks, but she couldn't keep up with the possessed assassin. Worse still, she couldn't bring herself to use her full strength in any of her attacks, not against Damian. It wasn't long before she kneeled on the ground, cut multiple times by Damian's katana. She looked up as Damian made ready to deliver the final blow.

"Please…" the defeated Raven whispered, and for a second he paused. But after that second, Damian continued his swing.

"No!" She yelled, and as soon as his sword hit her, Raven exploded with a burst of purple energy. This sudden burst sent Damian flying away. He flew into a wall, hitting it and falling down to the ground.

"Good, very good," Trigon suddenly said aloud, "finish him Raven." Raven felt no control over her body as she made ready another attack. As Damian stumbled to his feet, she launched a purple raven-shaped blast at him. He screamed in pain as the raven cawed and sent him crashing through the wall. Raven suddenly became aware of what happened, and regained control of her body.

"Damian!" She cried out as she ran to him, Trigon laughing the entire time. Raven ran up beside the crumpled and broken body of Damian, grabbing his hand and cradling his head.

"Damian please, wake up. Damian!" She pleaded. She watched as the spirit that had corrupted Damian flew out of his mouth, screeching before it dissipated in the air. His skin colour returned, and he struggled to open his two eyes.

"Raven?" Damian asked weakly, coughing up blood as he tried to speak. "What happened? Did you… do this?" Damian died in her arms as Raven could do nothing but cry.

Raven woke up, and sobbed loudly as she cried. She cried for a long time before finally speaking. Yelling, not speaking.

"I would never! You could never make me do that you bastard!" She screamed at her father, pouring newfound hate into the wards that kept the crystal prison strong. She began crying again, and she half-expected Damian to burst in. She wished he would, she really needed to see him, that nightmare had pushed her to the edge of her mental strength. She mentally berated herself for not asking him to stay in her room again for the night. Mature decision or not, she felt safe with him. She looked at her clock, 1:37. She waited five more minutes, but Damian didn't come.

"Maybe he didn't hear me." She thought, before standing up from her bed. She knew she wasn't going to fall back asleep, so she saw only one other option.

"If he won't come to me, I'll go to him." The purple Titan concluded, before quietly making her way out of her room and across the hall to Damian's door.

"Damian." She whispered as she quietly knocked on the door. But she got no reply. As quietly as she could, Raven carefully turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door. A ball rolled out from behind the closed door, causing her to jump. She shook her head and entered, shutting the door behind her. To her great surprise, there was no one there. Damian was gone. She looked around the room, it didn't take her long to deduce what was going on. The lack of a sword and uniform, the lack of Damian, and the open window were pretty telling.

"That little brat snuck out." She whispered to herself.

"Why does that make me mad? What he does is up to him." Raven thought, but she knew that she was mad for one simple reason: she wanted to be with him, and he wasn't there. She looked over at his clock, 1:45.

"He can't be gone for too long, I'll just wait for him."

"I suggest you go home now." Damian said to the two muggers as he sheathed his sword. They turned and fled down the alley, almost tripping over each other running away.

"Oh man, thanks kid, who knows what woulda happened if you hadn't jumped down and kicked their asses." The skinny, middle-aged victim tried shaking Damian's hand.

"You're welcome, you go home too." Damian replied, not returning the handshake.

"Oh ya, you got it." The man said back before turning and walking away into the night. Damian grappled up to the roof of a building and looked out across the city. Just then, Damian's watch beeped.

"Time to head back."

The Boy Wonder grappled the roof of Titans Tower, and expertly swung from the tree he was perched in directly into the open window of his room, rolling as he landed. Immediately, he noticed something was wrong. One, someone had opened his door, the ball he had placed there was now across the room. Second, and more importantly, there was someone in his bed.

"What the hell?" Damian drew his sword, he slowly and stealthily approached the bed. When he got alongside it, he grabbed the covers and ripped them off, exposing Ravens sleeping body. She woke up and let out a 'yelp' at the sudden shock before looking up and seeing Damian. Damian's eyes were wide open, both hands gripped on his sword, but he was frozen.

"What are you doing Raven?" He finally asked.

"I'm sorry Damian, I came here because… well I had another nightmare, and I wanted to see you again, like last night… but you weren't here so I decided to wait. I guess I fell asleep waiting." She answered.

"But didn't you say, it wasn't a good idea for us to do that again?" Damian continued.

"Yes, but I can't fall back asleep, and I really did have a good night's sleep last night with you." Raven explained. "I think I was still in shock about what happened when I said we shouldn't. But… our talk with Kori earlier made me think about it, and I would really like to if that's ok with you?"

"Yes," Damian replied almost instantly, he cleared his throat and repeated himself more slowly. "I mean, it's ok with me. Just let me get changed."

"Ok, thank you Damian." Raven hid under the covers as Damian got changed.

"Do you want to talk about you nightmare Raven?" He suddenly asked. Raven began to recall the contents of her nightmare, which caused her eyes to water.

"No." She simply replied.

"Ok, but I'll gladly listen if you ever want to." Damian said back, as he climbed into bed beside her. Once more, they awkwardly got into one another's embrace, but quickly got comfortable and relaxed. They wished each other good night and slowly drifted off to sleep, both Titans finding comfort and rest in each other arms.

So, I've done some research, and it turns out there's already a Damian X Raven story titled "An Unknown Feeling" by TyForestWrites on Wattpad. So you know, that's funny, guess I'll keep the title as it is. I suggest checking that story out if you're interested in more Damian X Raven.

Not gonna lie, this is my first fic, so I didn't really plan it all out. But I think I'm going to make it take up the gap between Teen Titans vs Justice League and The Judas Contract, so there won't be any "return of Trigon" or anything. I wanna make the transition between both movies and my fic as smooth as possible, so there can't be any major events that would most likely have been mentioned in The Judas Contract.

Part 6 will be here in less than... let's say 5 days.

Merci :)
