"We found her."

"Thank Azar."

Raven sighed of relief as she teleported to the huge warehouse. Logan was walking irregularly, like she was drunk. The whole search party was around her, but no one could get close to her. Her powers, who had always protected her, was now keeping the people who could hurt her the most at a distance. The people she loved.

"Logan."

She looked up, for the first time since Cyborg and Victor had found her in the room on fire, she reacted. Raven had never seen Logan so upset or angry, and she wanted to say she didn't understand why all of it was directed at her.

"I hate you."

Logan was shaking, her hands to her face, trying to hide her tears. Her scream wrapped itself around Raven, but she didn't stir. Neither dared anyone else.

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Why did you have me? Knowing what I was? How dare you have me? You did this to me. The fear of fire. His voice echoing through my head at night. How my powers can go out of control and scare people. Hurt people. How could you do this to me? I hate you."

"Logan."

"Don't touch me."

She took a step away even though there was no reason.

"And you knew. You knew what I would have to go through."

"I managed."

"I'm not strong like you mom."

She was swaying back and forth, and Raven was scared she would faint while the forcefield was keeping everyone at a distance.

"I'm not a superhero. I'm not strong. And it's unfair of you to asume that I would be. I hate you."

She was crying, holding her chest, before teleporting out of the room. Raven knew Beast Boy was looking at her, but she couldn't meet his eyes.

"Raven."
"Don't touch me."

She needed to meditate, but they couldn't. She looked up as the moon started its eclipse.

"We need to find her."

--

Logan was sitting on the edge of the terrasse on the school as a pigeon flew down and landed on her outstretched hand. She looked up as Sahara and Jack came out and her eyes grew in fear. The pigeon flew away.

"Logan?"

Before Logan could reakt Sahara had run over the terrasse and flung her arms around her.

"Logan, we were so worried. Jack told me what happened. You must have been so scared. What are you doing here? Do your parents know where you are?"

Sahara looked over her shoulder and saw Jack with his cell.

"Are you calling them?"

He nodded, before turning around and starting to talk. Sahara turned to Logan and went soft when she saw Logan was crying.

"You have to get away."

"What? No. We won't leave you Logan."

"You have to get away, now."

Raven was suddenly standing a few feet away from them, and the rest of them followed quickly. Just as the next wave of fire demons attacked.

"Get them out of here."

Vanessa dressed in a suit simulare to her mothers, grabbed Sahara and directed her and Jack toward the door and safety. But they were cut off. Vanessa stepped between them, but she couldn't fight. She held her chest and fell to the gravel covering the ground. Both Sahara and Jack bent down, but Logan knew what had happened.

"That's the problem with mechanical parts."

"Stop."

"Logan."

Victor was running toward her, shooting everything in sight, but that stopped quickly when two fire demons burnt his arm and leg until there was nothing. He fell to the ground, probably passed out of the pain of suddenly loosing two limbs.

"Please stop it."

"You know what you have to do."

Suddenly the masked man was pulled away and in a brief moment she could feel more hatred coming from Robin than she had felt from him her whole life.

"I killed you."

"You should have done a better job aprentise."

They started to fight, but Logan didn't pay them much attention. She looked at Victor and Vanessa. At Cyborg and Bumblebee who tired to help their children,but were stopped by the fire demons. At Jack trying to fight the demons, but failing, getting sever burns in the process, and Sahara doing CPR on Vanessa. Her hair gone.

So much pain, just because you ran away.

One of the demons had pinned Beast Boy down in a form that brought up things in him Logan knew she shouldn't have felt. Things he wouldn't have wanted her to know.

You know what you have to do.

Raven was fighting her way up toward her first born, but she couldn't stop the pain the girl was feeling. The gult. Or the choice she made.

"The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim. He comes to sire. The end of all thing mortal."

"Logan, what have you done?"

Logan looked at her mother, before Raven vanished before her eyes. As did Beast Boy, Robin and everyone else. Only darkness remaind. It suited her. She was so tired. She laid down, how strange that would otherwise have been for her, and started to hum for herself. There was nothing anymore. No pain. No anger. No suffering. No sadness. Nothing was better than what she had felt on that terrasse. Nothing was better than pain. Pain made her cry. Sadness made her cry. She knew that if people knew how much suffering they forced on one-another they would just kill themselves. Even people who didn't mean to be evil, were, by nature, forced to make someone else miserable at some point. Even the people they loved and cared for. Nothing was better.

"Fix this."

Logan looked up and was surprised to see Lewis with Lucky on his back. Both glowing.

"What are you doing here?"

Then she saw the necklace. She blinket, but nothing more.

"Fix this."

"Why do you think I can?"

"Because you are more powerful than Lucky and me. You have to fix this."

"Why do you think I want to? Why do I want to have all that pain again? I'm so tired of how crappy people are to one another, how selfish and cruel we are. I like it here. No more pain, no more people."

She got to her feet.

"Mom and dad love you. Is that selfish or cruel? I love you, and Lucky. I still remember his voice Logan. I still remember how mom's father can get under the skin, and I remember that you took him away. That you gave me the necklace and took all the weight away from me, and a world where people do that is a world worth saving. It's a world worth living in."

"So fix it."

Logan couldn't help but smile as she looked at Lucky. Then she looked at Lewis. Both of them were so like one another in apparences, and just as different in mind as their mother and father. The oldest twelve, the youngest would soon be six.

"Has dad told you about the beast? Do you know how it feels?"

"I know that there will be times when I don't want to get up in the morning, but there will also be times when I don't want to get in bed at night and in the long run I believe that the good days weigh more than the bad."

"You sound like an after school special."

Logan looked down at her hands, before sighing. Then she folded them and whispered the magic words Raven had taught her years earlier and when she opened her palms thousands of fireflys emerged. They lit up everything around her finally making her brothers vanish in the light.

--

Raven looked at Beast Boy, as he was sleeping next to her. He had a huge grin on his face and she didn't understand how someone could be so happy just to have her lie next to them.

--

"Congratulations, you're pregnante Ms. Raven."

Raven didn't understand. Then the doctor turned the screen, and showed her the bean that was inside her. Her child. Her own child. The lights flickered before all the computers shut down.

"I'm sorry. I have to go."

Raven got up, not really listening to what the doctor was saying, she just got out of there as fast as she could without teleporting. When she was out of the hospital she fazed over to the roof of the titans tower. She was pregnant. She was having a child. She looked up as the sun suddenly eclipsed, and her face paled. She was having a child. Another one of his descendents. She couldn't go through with this. She couldn't do something that would give him a possibility to come back and destroy earth. Her hand went to her stomach. Pebbles and other items that had been left, forgotten or carefully placed on the roof hovered up into the air. Raven couldn't have children. She let herself cry as the eclips was over and sun struck her face with a taunting gesture.

--

"Help me Azar."

"What do you want me to do Raven? As long as this child is near you, he will be as well. You know that."

Raven had thought that Azar would have a solution.

"What if I wasn't Raven anymore?"

"You do understand what that means? You have to leave your friends, your powers. Everything that defies you as you. You can never go back. Are you willing to do that?"

Leave the titans. Never see them again. They were her family, her hope. She nodded.

"Say your goodbyes and come back here, and Raven will no longer exist."

A gentle touch.

"I'm sorry precious, but you can't have it both ways."

Raven just nodded, and went back.

--

"I'm leaving."

Robin looked up at her with his leadership look.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, I'm leaving the team, the tower and you can never see me again."

He just looked shocked at her, and thou Raven didn't look at him she could clearly feel it. Her empathy had been somehow grown since the got pregnant. She guest it was due to the baby.

"It sounds like something is wrong if your running away."

"I... You have to trust me that I know what's best."

"Like you did with your father? Raven if your in trouble we can help you."

"I'm not doing this because I have to. I'm doing this because I want to. I want to leave the titans. I want to leave the tower. I want to not see you again."

Raven looked at him and softened when she saw he was crying.

"Can you at least tell me why?"

She shook her head. Knowing would only make them come after her. She couldn't risk it.

"No."

"Raven this is insane."

"And you can't tell Beast Boy."

"Is there nothing I can say to change your mind?"

She shook her head again and hugged him. Letting him hide his tears in her shoulder. This wasn't just quiting the team. She was saying goodbye.

"You remember what you said after Cy quit to be leader of titans east? That it wasn't about us, but him. This is about me, not you, and not the team. But please know, that I never thought I would have a family, that I could be one of the good guys, before I was a titan."
