"I thought you might like it" Shadow said walking towards the lake. She took off her shoes and put her feet in the water while she laid down. Raven sat down next to her and crossed her legs looking up at the sky. "It's such a beautiful night" Shadow said quietly with her eyes closed.

"Yeah...it is" Raven replied with a small smile as she looked down at Shadow. "What have you been up to for all these years anyway?"

"Nothing really, just been training for the past two and a half year's and the past six month's looking for someone very special to me" She replied with a smile tilting her head to the side then scooted over so her head was in Raven's lap. She slowly closed her eyes again while Raven ran her finger's through her hair

"Really and who night this someone special be?" Raven decided to play along.

"Well I have known them since I can remember, they are good looking, strong, kind, and very close to my heart" She replied smiling, her eyes still closed. "They left because they where afraid of there destiny. They thought too much on the 'destiny' that was handed to them at birth. I just wish that they would realize that there 'destiny' isn't written in stone and change's with each chose they make." She added. sighing after. Raven continued to watch Shadow wondering if she was done or not. Suddenly she sat up and turned so she was facing Raven. She grabbed her hand and stood up pulling her with.

"What's the matter?" Raven asked a bit confused. Shadow just ignored her question and pulled her into a tight hug.

"They need to learn that there are people who love them and hate it when they let this false 'destiny' control there life" She whispered. "But most of all you need to know...that I l..." She was interrupted by the ring of Raven's communicator. Shadow reluctantly let her go and turned back towards the lake. Raven felt mad and hurt but she knew it was her job so she opened it too see Robin's face on the screen.

"Raven we have an emergency. You need to meet us down town and as fast as you can" He said between breaths.

"What's the problem?"

"You will see when you get here just hurry up...and bring Shadow...where gonna need all the help we can get, Robin out" The screen went black. After shutting it she looked at Shadow who was still faced away from her.

"Well you heard him...we better go before thing's get out of hand" Shadow said as she starting to fly off towards down town. Raven watched and sighed as she started to fallow. On the way there Raven wanted to talk to Shadow but didn't know it she should or not. Seeing her make an effort to stay in front the whole time hurt her. It made her feel like she had done something wrong but wasn't sure what it was. When they landed Raven now knew why Robin wanted them to hurry up. Half of the buildings where either on fire or totally demolished and all her team mates seemed to be warn out pretty badly.

"What happened to you guy's?" She asked walking over to them.

"I think he might have something to do with it" Shadow said pointing off to the distance. Raven saw slade standing on one of the burning building's and behind him.

"Trigon...no how can this be?" She asked stunned to see her father out of his prison.

"Ah my daughter I see you have decided to finally join us. He said his voice deep and echoing. Trigon is Raven's demon father who was imprisoned shortly after she was conceived. According to her 'destiny' she was supposed to be his portal out of his prison. But it seemed that some way he had gotten out with out her and a lot eairlier then he was supposed to.

"What are you doing here?" She asked angerly.

"You of all people should know" He replied smiling. " I have come to fulfill the prophecy"

"But your early"

"It seems that I am and I owe my thanks to Slade for that. Now I am free to rain supreme over this world and many more" He replied with a slight smirk.

"I wont let you" Raven scream. Shadow stepped in front of her.

"And neither will I" She said sticking her right hand out and with a flash of light a 4 foot long katana appeared in her hand.

"How nice of you to try and protect my daughter and these weak human's Shadow, but I'm afraid it will do you now good" He said sitting on the T towner which he had turned into his thrown. "Slade finish them off"

"As you wish master"
