Serenity, Logan and Raven could not believe that it was The Queen of Azarath that had interfered with their lives and brought Serenity to them. Without her interference Serenity would have been raised alone on Earth and possibly have not met the Assassins. She was somewhat pleased that Queen Raven interfered with their lives on Earth, she loved her family with all her heart, and she loved Blade deeply.
"Mommy, mommy someone is here, he's scary." A child came running in. The Queen collected the child in her arms. Everyone turned to see who was there; a man walked into the throne room and walked up to the group. "Your majesties." The man said. 'The child is right he is scary.' Serenity thought to herself. 'Not the scariest thing we have encountered.' Blade's voice was in Serenity's mind. She looked at him and nodded.
The man bowed to the Queen and King, "It's so nice to see you again, your highness, now where is my offspring." The man said. Serenity stepped forward. "I'm right here." She said. The man looked her up and down. "You turned out to be quite beautiful my dear, pray tell what is your name?" The man inquired of her. "I am known as Fear, and yours?" she asked. The man eyed her up and down apparently admiring what he saw. "I am Lestat De Lioncourt." The man said, "I am your father not Richard." He added. "I know, but you are just a sperm donor, my true father is Logan, and my true mother is his wife Raven." Serenity said.
Apparently this Lestat did not like that. "You are to come with me, I must make you the right thing, and these Azarathians raised you wrong." The man said. "I was not raised by Azarathians, I was raised by earthlings, and I am proud of it." Serenity said. The man looked at her. "Earthlings, you mean humans?" He asked. Serenity nodded her head, "that's even worse than Azarathians." He added, "aw well you must come with me, we have a job to do." He said reaching out for her, but she backed away from his reach, "come along child damn I haven't got all eternity." He said.
"I am going nowhere with you." Serenity said, "because of you, you raped my birth mother, and when the council found out what I was they forced her to send me to Earth, not that I am complaining, but you should be in jail, rapist are the worst there is." Serenity said. This pissed the man off he disappeared from sight but reappeared behind Serenity with a knife to her chest. "Come with me or I'll kill you, I created you, now you will obey your creator." The man said.
Serenity looked to everyone in her family, and the love of her life, Blade had a looked that said he was going to kill this guy when he got him. "Go ahead kill me, see what happens." Serenity said, "The people you see around you have all sorts of powers, and you will be dead before you could escape." She added; the man looked at the people around them.
"I create you for a special purpose, and you will come with me rather you like it or not." The man said. Then the Queen stepped forward. "She was born on Azarath and our laws state that at the age of sixteen the child can decide what parent she wishes to be with, Fear you are seventeen now are you not?" The Queen said Serenity nodded her head, "then she can stay here, she does not have to go with you if she does not wish it. Now leave her be and leave Azarath." The Queen said.
Serenity was surprised that the Queen was taking her side. "No I believe that I'll make good on my promise, I'll destroy your kingdom until Fear decides to come with me." He said and then disappeared into thin air. Serenity looked at her family. "You guys ready for a major fight?" Serenity asked. Her family nodded, they always trained for things like this. In fact Logan brought out his claws.
"Let's go get the bastard." Logan said. Everyone nodded; Blade had two fireballs in his hands ready to fight. The king walked up to Serenity. "Serenity I have no special powers but I will fight with you." The king said he then ran into an adjoined room and then ran out. He was decked out with weapons. "You have weapons?" Serenity asked. The king and Queen nodded their heads. Serenity looked at the Assassins and they all ran in to get the weapons and were suited up with all the weapons they could carry.
Serenity looked at the Queen, at her birth mother, "You should probably stay here and protect your child, let us fighters handle this." Serenity said. The Queen looked at her King and then was engulfed in a black aura, and then she was in a purple bodysuit and a purple cape.
"I will not sit and wait; I am a fighter as well." The Queen said. She looked to the child in her arms, "Go down into the cellar and take your nurse maid with you." She added, and sat the child down, "do not come out of there until you see me open the door, or your father." She added. The child then ran out of the room, then Queen the grabbed her chest.
"What's the matter with her?" Sorrow asked. The king looked at her. "She can feel the pain of her people out there." Richard answered her. Serenity looked at her family. "Let's go get the bastard." She said. Everyone nodded their heads and they were off. They found Lestat as he said his name was in the courtyard in the middle of the city, "Lestat we were not done talking to you." Serenity said. The man turned to face her, with the dead body of a woman in his arms.
"Changed your mind have you?" the man asked. Serenity looked at her family. "No we want to fight with you." Serenity said. The man dropped the body of the woman and stepped over her. "Very well then." The man said. He looked at the group wondering who was going to be killed first. Serenity called forth clouds to cover the Azarathian sun, and make it dark for them hoping that Lestat could not see too well in the dark, she then called for thick fog on the ground and up above to limit visibility to those that were not use to it like they were.
Lestat looked round the area wondering where the group went. Out of the blue Wolverine came out of the fog and slashed him a number of times with his claws. The man cried out in pain, that was Serenity's cue, her boots were the only weapon that could kill the man, she walked up to him with everyone holding him down, she picked her right foot up and then plunged the heel of it in his heart, with that Blade shook him, with his heart shredded he was dead. Serenity pulled her boot out of his chest.
"Not so tough now are ya?" She said to him. She then walked up to the Assassins and her mother and father and hugged them. When they broke apart The Queen and King were standing there. "You defiantly are my daughter." The Queen said. Serenity looked at her strSerenityy. "Why do you say that?" Serenity asked. The Queen walked up closer to her.
"I was sent to Earth when I was fifteen, because there was a prophecy about my birth because of who my father is, when I arrived to Earth, I joined with a team of teenage heroes, we all grew close, very close, the world knew us as the Teen Titans, Nightwing our leader." Richard walked up closer, "Cyborg, our electronic man." With that a figure walked up closer to them that was robot with a human head, "Starfire, a Tamernian." A woman with fiery orange hair landed in front of them, "Beastboy, the comedian." With that a green hawk land and turned into a green man, "and myself, Raven.
When I received word that my mother had died, Nightwing and I came to Azarath, I was next in line for the throne, Nightwing and I fell in love long ago and were married on Earth, we came to Azarath, and the high priest married us so that we would be legal here, the Titans came with us and have made lives here, living in the palace. We became a family, like you and the Assassins; the night you were born Starfire was there with me, the Teen Titans were fighters as well." Queen Raven said.
Serenity looked at her birth mother and then to her family. "Raven was heartbroken when she had to send you to Earth, she had wanted better of her children." Cyborg, the robotic man said. Serenity looked at them strSerenityy; then turned to her family. "I understand that it was hard for you to send me to Earth, but I have a life there, and I have to get back I have a wedding to plan." Serenity said. Raven looked at Blade and smiled hopefully, "no, my sister, Cat, she is marrying Bones, and I promised her that I would help her to plan it." Serenity added seeing the look in Raven's face.
The Queen nodded her head; she then looked back at Richard. "Feel free to come back any time, and please take this with you." She said as she held out a beautiful gem. Serenity held her hand out and looked at it closely, "it will allow you to talk to us when you are on Earth, and I placed a spell on it just for that purpose." She added looking at the look that Serenity had on her face.
Serenity nodded and then handed over her weapons back to the Titans. "You can have this back now, I no longer need it." Serenity said as she handed the Queen the only thing she held on to since she was sent to Earth, it was a picture of her with the Queen and king when she was seven years of age, two years before they sent her away, "our job is done here, and it is time for us to go back to Earth." Serenity said.
She got into a circle with her family, "earth earth earth." She said simply and they were gone. They arrived back in the courtyard in front of the school. The family was there to meet them, "Ah home sweet Earth." Serenity said smiling at her family. "Serenity I am very surprised that you didn't stay for more information about why they sent you here." Serenity's mom said as everyone walked back into the school.
"Why should I have? I have my family here." Serenity answered; she walked into the house and hugged her family hello, "I do not need to know more than what they told me. My family and life is here on Earth, not there on Azarath." She added. At that time Blade's communicator went off. "Yea, Terry what is wrong?" He said. There was a scrambled voice on the other end; that could only mean trouble.
Serenity looked to her Aunt Jean mentally asking if she could teleport them back to Oroville. Jean nodded her head in a flash they back in Oroville; someone came running out to meet them, "Juan what happened?" Blade asked as the man came running up to them. "They came out of nowhere, they destroyed everything, and they say they want the female that is in command, the one from Azarath." The man Juan said. Blade looked at Serenity and then to the team. Serenity looked at the man. "Where are they now?" Serenity asked. The man pointed at their home. Serenity looked backed at her team and kissed Blade passionately and walked off, it took Blade a minute to realize what she was doing.
He ran up and stopped her by grasping a hold of her arm. "Serenity what do you think you're doing?" Blade asked. Serenity turned to face him for a moment, and then placed her hand lightly on his cheek, then she disappeared leaving Blade there, the rest of the Assassins walked up to him.
"What do we do?" Cat asked. Blade looked at her. "We go after her." Blade answered and walked into the building to find her, "but first, I have to make a call." He added. Serenity reappeared in front of a group of people she didn't know them, but well; she would deal with them or die trying.
She walked into the light so she could see better, their eyes were almost her same color, they had the tint of emerald green in them, vampires, she automatically thought to herself. Now would be the time that she could use her family to back her up, she sparred against them on a daily basis growing up they knew how to defeat her kind, "what do you want?" Serenity asked of them. One of them stepped forward and looked her up and down.
"You are the vampire from Azarath?" he asked. Serenity nodded her head; he said it like he was expecting something more; except for her, "Well you killed our father, now we will kill you." The man said. Serenity looked at him and the rest of the people with them. So they were her half brothers and sisters. All well she has done killed her father now she'll kill them as well.
"I was trained for things like this, you do not scare me." Serenity said showing that it was true. She was trained by some of the best heroes there could ever be; and fighting along with the Assassins has helped her out a lot, and has taught her quite a bit, like don't always fight if you don't have to, "You know you don't have to be as he showed you. You don't have to do what he taught you, there is a better way." Serenity said. They looked at each other and then back at Serenity.
"What is your name vampire?" The man asked. Serenity looked at them. "I'm known as Fear." Serenity answered calmly and softly, "You do not have to follow you're your father's plans, you can be good; I'm proof of that." Serenity said yet again.
They looked at her again, and then they started after her when they were stopped by a force field. Everyone looked around to see where the source of the force field was coming from. In the darkness where the door entrance is they saw a group of people.
Serenity should have known that Blade would have contacted her family to come and help when he found out that they were after her. She knew that it was her Aunt Jean that had put the force field up. "What is this sorcery?" The man asked, "Why can we not get to you?" he added. Jean walked out from the darkness.
"You can't because I won't let you. You will not harm my niece." Jean said. As she walked out all of the X-men walked out, except for Professor Xavier, even the Assassins walked out. "We wanted to deal with her alone not with her friends." A girl walked up closer to them.
"We are not her friends, we are her family." A woman's voice said in the darkness on the other side of the room. They all looked towards it. A woman walked out with three men, and another woman. It was Serenity's birth mother, and her friends; the Teen Titans. The Tamernian, Starfire, had her eyes glowing light green, same with her hands. The robotic guy, Cyborg, had a hand missing, and in its place was a gun of some kind. The green guy, Beastboy, was in some animal form.
Nightwing or Richard whatever you want to call him had all of his weapons ready. Serenity's birth mother, Raven, had her hands engulfed in black, her eyes were black as well, "She is right, there is another way then what you are doing now." Queen Raven said.
They looked at each other; one of the women walked up closer towards the force field, she looked at Jean, and then back to Serenity; she closed her eyes and walked through the force field. Serenity's family panicked and started forward when Serenity stopped them. The woman had long blue hair, with black eyes, with a tint of emerald green to them.
"There is another way then what our father told us?" She asked, her voice as soft and Serenityic as Serenity's. Serenity nodded her head. "Yes, I am proof of that, we share the same father, but, I am not evil." Serenity said, "What is your name?" Serenity asked. The girl looked at her siblings.
"I am known as Clairenda." The woman said. Serenity looked back at Clairenda's siblings.
"Your sister has made a choice, there is a better way, a happier way then what Lestat taught you. Believe me; I know." Serenity said. They looked at each other and then back at Serenity. Slowly Jean lowered the force field blocking them. They walked up closer to Serenity, all of them; well except for the man that was the leader, apparently he was the oldest, he was still looking at Serenity evilly. Once all the other siblings were around Serenity, Jean put the force field back up noticing the look on his face, "We all have a different mother, yet the same father, but we do not have to be the way he showed you, or tried to show me.
Whatever he had planned for us you don't have to accomplish it, you can be good." Serenity added mainly to him, "We all have a little good in us, from our mothers, follow it, don't let his evil blood overcome, and take over what you can be, what you were truly meant to be." She added just as softly. The man looked at her. Serenity was afraid that they might have to kill him.
He still just stood there, looking evilly at every one of his siblings that had betrayed him and their father. Serenity continued to talk to her half-brother trying to convince him that he doesn't have to be this way. He slowly looked around the room, he then ran and jumped out the window and was gone. Serenity looked at her family secretly telling everyone to keep an eye on him.
It's been a month since then and now the Assassins are across the country in the eastern part of America; after some intense training the Assassins created the Western division while going to the eastern coast, they trained Serenity's half siblings to work together and to fight to capture the evil villains now they are running the western coast of the Assassins; in fact Serenity's family also helped train them.
The original Assassins went to a town in Virginia and built a new house there to live in. On the very highest peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains where they will be able to see everything that happens. This time however Serenity's family helped them build the house. Bones had designed the house, and they built it according to his design, it turned out really good. Cat and Bones would be sharing a room beings they were going to be getting married in a couple of hours.
Blade and Serenity's rooms were next door to each other, and around the corner was Sorrow's room. Even though the Assassins were in Virginia, the X-men were regular visitors; now that Serenity was closer to them they were able to see her more often.
She calls her birth mother once in a while to make sure that everything is okay in Azarath. Right now though she is in the Bridal Suite with Marie, Sorrow, and Cat getting Cat ready for her wedding. She was going to be wearing a very gorgeous gown that Serenity designed and Marie put together. It was quite a stunning gown, not the one that Serenity has planned for her wedding, but close to it.
The gown has an opening at the waist with an underling of fabric sowed into it, somewhat low cut, to set Bones' blood pumping, and it is a halter top. The team had hired a stylist to do Cat's fiery red hair, and a makeup artist to do her make up. A knocking on the door gets Serenity's attention; Serenity gracefully glides over and answers the door, it's her mom, Raven, "Are you girls ready?" Raven asked.
Serenity nodded her head. Cat did not have a father to walk her down the aisle so Serenity's father agreed to give her away. Logan was standing outside the door when the girls ambled out; he was in complete astonishment at what he saw the girls looked striking in their bride's maid's dresses. The color was a soft violet, and the design was another of Serenity's designs, it was simple yet lovely, the dresses socialized into the wedding charmingly and left Cat to stand out in her well-designed dress.
Many did not know this, but, Serenity was a legendary designer, as well as a hero. They took their places to enter the sanctuary, Bones was already standing at the alter each of the girls graciously glided down the aisle one at a time, then the wedding march arose to play and down the aisle came Cat, on the arm of Logan. Logan walked her up to the alter, and placed her delicate gloved hand in the crook of Bones' arm. They turned to face the vicar, while Logan sat down in the front seat.
The vicar started the ceremony with the declarations of love from Cat to Bones, and from Bones to Cat. It was very striking for Serenity to see how much Cat seemed to proclaim her love to Bones. While the vicar was saying the declarations of love, Serenity caught Blade's eyes observing her; she bequeathed an indulgent smile to him, which got him to smile back. When the ceremony was over the bride and groom marched back down the aisle, trailed by the bridal party, and lastly the guests; they went into the ballroom where the reception was going to take place. There sitting at the table Blade found Serenity sitting drinking from her glass, he walked up to her and sat beside her.
It's been a month since Cat and Bones' wedding, they are on their honeymoon to the Bahamas, they got help with their team from the teen titans while they are on their honeymoon, Beastboy and Starfire agreed to come back to Earth and cover for them right now. Serenity is sitting up on the roof watching the sunset when she hears a noise behind her.
She turned and saw Blade standing there; he sat beside Serenity with his legs dangling over the edge of their home, "I'm sorry if I distressed you Serenity." Blade said. Serenity looked at him and shook her head. "No you didn't, I was just thinking." Serenity answered. Blade placed his arm around Serenity's shoulders and pulled her against his body and together they sat and watched the sunset.
Serenity sighed feeling very content now, she was closer to her family now, her best friend was married, and her sister was married all that was left was for her to get married. "Serenity I love you know that right?" Blade asked out of the blue. Serenity looked up at him.
"Of course I know that, why Blade what's wrong." Serenity asked. Blade stood up and pulled Serenity up to stand as well. "Serenity you're stunningly gorgeous, you're valiantly fearless, and I love you with every fiber of my being." Blade said, he then got down on one knee, "Serenity would you do me the integrity of marrying me?" Blade added as he pulled out a small black box, he opened it and held it up for Serenity to see; it was a stunning diamond and ruby red necklace.
"I talked to your mother, she told me that in Azarath when a man presents a necklace to a woman that he's proposing; that a necklace means more than a ring." He added, "She also told me how you always used to dream that when you meant the man of your dreams that he would present you with the necklace." He added waiting for Serenity to say something.
Serenity stood there with tears in her eyes, she could barely see the necklace anymore, "Ah Serenity of all times for you to be speechless, could you give me an answer either way; the anticipation is killing me." He added. Serenity looked at him again. "Of course I'll marry you Blade, I love you." Serenity finally answered. Blade gave a sigh of relief.
"I thought that you would say no." Blade said, "I was nervous." He added, as he picked Serenity up and spun her around.
"Blade why would you be nervous over that? I'd die for you, why wouldn't I want to live for you as well." Serenity said to him. Blade smiled as he set Serenity back down onto the roof. They ran back downstairs to tell the team. When they got half way down the alarm went off signally trouble.
They ran downstairs faster than before; the news would have to wait until the threat was over. They got down to what they call the common room, and brought up the trouble on the big screen they had.
It's been a year since the Assassins have set up the new office in Virginia, and since they found out about Serenity's past. Serenity has designed her wedding gown, it is incredible, the sleeves were worn off her shoulders and at the wrist flared out, it is long and soft light lavender in color, so light it is almost white, with a crimson red ribbon around the waist, at the waist it opens with an underling of satin sowed in.
Blade and Serenity have decided to have their wedding on October 31st they both appreciate Halloween; it is one of their favorite holidays. Logan is going to walk her down the aisle with her family watching, Blade will be standing at the altar waiting for her. Even Raven and Richard are going to be there, Serenity is surprised that they are going to be at her wedding, considering they sent her to Earth as a child.
Beastboy and Starfire went back to Azarath about eight months ago, when Bones and Cat came back from their honeymoon. Marie and Remy came down to help Blade and Serenity design their nuptials. In fact Marie is making her dress for her, and the bride's maid's dresses.
The bride's maid's dresses are another of Serenity's designs. Simple yet charming; straps wrapping around their necks, a light red in color with a black ribbon around the waist, and the bottom of the dresses somewhat flare out; they socialize with the wedding ritual gorgeously. It is nine o'clock at night right now and Serenity is in her room dreaming of her wedding, but with an evil twist.
She's having a dream that in the middle of her nuptials, they will be attacked by the brotherhood and the half sibling that ran away; they joined forces to destroy her family. But they can't if she can get to them first. She got up and got dressed putting her uniform on, which was just tight black leather pants, a short black halter top and a long black leather trench coat with her thigh high black boots.
She knew just where to go to get help in locating them. She snuck out of the house and flew to a city known as Gotham City. She knocked on the door to a mansion, the door opened to an elderly gentlemen, "Can I help you miss?" the man said. Serenity nodded her head.
"I'm looking for Bruce Wayne." Serenity said. The elderly man stepped aside to allow her entrance. Serenity walked into the foyer and waited while the man went and got the man she was there to see. A few minutes later a tall man walked into view.
"Can I help you miss….?" He asked pausing so she could give her name. "Mr. Wayne my name is Serenity, and I'm your granddaughter, I'm Raven's daughter." Serenity answered. Bruce looked at her strSerenityy, "if you don't believe me then call mom and Richard, they'll tell you. But I'm in need of your help." Serenity added.
Bruce led her toward the back of the living room, he pulled on a statue's head and the wall opened up and she followed him into the doorway, they walked downstairs further and further down, until finally they stepped off the stairs and onto solid ground.
