Yay more reviews and favs, saisaici thank you for your ideas. I might not use all of them but at least it'll get me back on track. Sorry for the long wait but the writer's block is now gone!
Years later within Deepholm, the titans have their weekly meeting within the confines of either Raven's chamber or their shared room. They chose Raven's Chambers this time due to new circumstances with Raven. She was in her humanoid form and her frontal part seemed round.
"I still can't believe they made you… mate…" Robin said while looking at her new roundness. Raven had a bit of blush in her checks and an almost saddened look on her face.
"I'm a Broodmother now Robin," Raven said caressing her round belly, "Soon I'll have to turn to my true form to lay my eggs."
"Looks like you can't come out with us anymore," Beast Boy said in disappointment, "And this explains why you couldn't come with us last time either."
"Any news?" Raven asked.
"Yea; Icecrown Citadel was raided recently; though unsuccessful they are getting close," Robin said. Raven's eyes widened a little with interest for a second or two.
"Well, they're finally getting some backbone." Raven commented.
"True, but you got to admit this is as juicy as the news of what happened at the Sunwell," Cyborg replied.
Raven sighed, "I guess it doesn't matter, father can vanquish him easily anyway."
"I wouldn't doubt it," Starfire said, "Lord Deathwing, your father, is quite powerful from the tales we have heard."
"Those tales were when he was called Netharion The Earth-Warder," Cyborg stated, "We were never told why he changed his name to Deathwing,"
"Perhaps he doesn't want us to know," Starfire stated.
"That can be true," Robin said, "After all there were rumors going around the cities that he fell to the whispers of the Old Gods."
"Two of them are dead already," Raven said smugly, "They are not true gods as they claim themselves to be,"
"I wasn't saying that," Robin said calmly and yet defensive. Raven then calmed down; she was defensive about her father. They never dared ask about her mother because of it. After a minute or so they saw Raven calm down, "I'm sorry,"
"We know," Robin said, "And we hate to see you turn into something like this, and we can't help you."
Raven almost cried a tear, "go, you all are free for the week. Roam around like we did when we were first free in this world."
"Dude, Raven. You sure you're ok?" Beast Boy asked noticing the water in her eye. Raven quickly whipped the water away as he noticed it and nodded, "I will be with you again,"
"We're not leaving yet," Cyborg said, "We still have much to talk about,"
"What do you mean?" Raven asked, "Did something happen?"
Robin nodded, "We had a run in with the Lich King."
Raven's eyes were filled with worry for a second, but they resumed their state when she realized that they came out unharmed from the way they look, "What happened?"
"I was looking for that whelp who flew to Northrend to carry a message to our representative in the Wyrmrest Accords." Starfire's tone started to sound worried, "I went there to see that he never arrived. I searched for hours and called everyone else to help and we found him…."
"But?" Raven knew that Starfire was pausing. She saw Starfire swallow before she said, "But it was too late. He was dead and being resurrected as a one of the Frostbrood."
"But how does the Lich King fit into all of this?" Raven asked, worried and angered.
"Well," Beast Boy spoke, getting Raven's attention, "that would be my fault."
Raven frowned, "What'd you do this time? It's bad enough you almost got kicked out of Undercity!"
"Ok, that was one time and I had no idea that was Sylvanas!" Beast Boy objected.
"Save that for later!" Starfire yelled at the two before they heard the door open to two confused guards, "sorry!"
The guards closed the door with a grunt, signaling they were annoyed.
"Well anyway, the Lich King we faced was actually an image with his power but," Beast Boy paused, "I um, was flying to where Starfire was and I was spotted and the Image appeared and followed me. I didn't know it followed me until I found Starfire."
"I saw him coming and contacted Robin and Cyborg to come help," Starfire started explaining, "We started to fight him and ended up being surrounded."
"If we didn't come you two would be Death Knights right now," Cyborg commented, getting a glare from Beast Boy.
"Yea, basically we saved their Asses from becoming Death Knights and retreated to Wyrmrest," Cyborg said.
"What no exciting details?" Raven asked.
"You say we take to long to describe, now you want us to describe again?" Beast Boy said in an almost aggravated tone, "Make up your mind!"
Raven sighed; she knew exactly what was happening to her emotions. She got up and walked to the door, "I'm going to get some fresh air,"
She saw Robin's worried face as she closed the door and was escorted to the ground above them.
"Leave me," She ordered the guards, "I'll be fine,"
"You should probably think of turning to your true form soon, Lady Raven," One of the two guards commented, "not that it's an order or anything,"
"I will soon enough," Raven said firmly, "now leave me,"
The guards at first hesitated but then finally left quietly, leaving Raven alone on the windy day above. She inhaled the crisp air: it brought the smell of the sea and some of the food of Stormwind with it. Nevertheless she felt invigorated once more after being held up within the depths of Deepholm for so long. She eventually decided to sit down and look to the sea and feel the western wind come. She remembered and treasured moments like this, even the ones she spent on Earth when she had no idea who she was. She knew who she was now: Lady Raven, the last child of Deathwing, or Netharion as he was previously named. She then shook her head, trying not to think about it, she couldn't keep that thought from letting her express herself, or at least what she thought was herself. She knew more so what people called her, but what was she to herself? Was she a magnificent and powerful dragon, or an off world girl with a magnificent gift that got confused with the dragon? The question floated through her mind ever since she got adjusted to her life on Azeroth. On the contrary if she wasn't the dragon her friends would have been burned before her eyes and then she would be forced to join them in death, if one ever could.
She let her mind wander and eventually let herself be lost within her own mind, as she had done many times before back on Earth. She had still been meditating every week since she had come; it helped her relax. It even helped her picture the events of the past. She had seen the Rise of the Lich King, the fall of her sister Onyxia, the Battle of Mount Hijal, The Sunwell, and even the recent events at The Wrath Gate. This world has become chaotic, Raven thought as she glimpsed back at the events that came to her mind, ever since the orcs' arrival in this world it has been constant war. She knew whose fault it was, the Burning Legion whom seeks to destroy all life in the universe. Thrice now Azeroth's denizens have held the Legion back whether or not they are native to the planet. Raven began to wonder how such a thing could have happened, how can it be that one planet has survived the flame for so long? Then again she thought back to how she and her friends have saved Earth from the flame. I suppose this Legion hasn't shown it's full force yet, Raven thought, and hopefully it never will.
After a while Raven decided to go back underground and try talking to her friends again. She had cooled down during her meditation and was ready to talk again. She went to open the door to her friends' room and saw that the guards there were not at the door. This made her confused; they were always there no matter what! She decided to open the door a crack to see if they were inside instead. Thankfully the door didn't squeak as it usually does. She saw the two guards inside talking to Robin and the others.
"Just because you're Lady Raven's favorites doesn't mean you'll be here long!" One of the guards spat.
"I'm not leaving her!" Robin retorted, "Neither is anyone else!"
The first guard snorted, "It's not up to you, she'll push you away soon, after all she will soon have a brood."
"That's not going to push her away!" Robin replied again.
"Yes! We may be able to assist in the raising of the brood," Starfire explained, "We do not abandon her so she will not abandon us!"
"So be it," The second guard spoke, "We tried warning you."
The two guards then went to the door and opened it fully to see Raven there with her hood on her head and her eyes covered.
"L-Lady Raven!" The second guard said in a surprised tone, "you're back!"
Raven grunted and tightened her fist as her energy gathered around her body, turning it into a black cloud. The two guards tried to back away in shock up felt Cyborg push them forward back in front of Raven.
"Azerath... Metrion… Zinthos!" Raven's energy the consumed the two guards with her power and rage. Once the black energy dispersed the guards were no longer there in front of her, nothing was left of them, not even a claw. Raven breathed deeply so she could calm herself down before anything else happened that could hurt her, her undeveloped brood, or her friends.
"H-how'd you do that?" Beast Boy asked, "You've never been able to do that before!"
Raven took her last heavy breath and looked at her friends, "I sent them into the Twisting Nether, a warlock has been teaching me a few things and I suppose my powers have fused with it."
"A dragon brood and now a warlock? Dang, you have some scary new secrets Raven," Cyborg expressed. Raven removed her hood and smiled, "I know, but that makes it fun, doesn't it?"
Everyone smiled and sat back down to talk, they started reminiscing on their first adventures in Azeroth and how it has shaped them to this very day.
