Third person; Crisis
Not only were the Justice League, and all the Titans battling the demons, but quite a few unknown heroes, and several villains had even crawled out from under their rocks to join the good fight. And as Starfire had said, they fought where they stood, no matter where they were from. Superman didn't leave Jump to go fight in Metropolis, or Smallville. Batman did not return to Gotham. Wherever you had been when the envision started is where you fought, the thought to go somewhere else didn't cross any of their minds.
Several hours had gone by since the mayhem in Jump City had ensued, and now there was a weak gray light, that somehow managed to filter through the black clouds that covered the sky. Sonic booms were frequent as the Man of Steel met the demons with bone crushing punches. The only screams that now rang through the streets of the destroyed city were those of the demons', all the civilians having found shelter. Everywhere you turned, a cape was putting up a good fight against one of the monsters…but there still was not enough of them, and they knew it, but they did not give up.
Starfire was locked in fierce battle with one of the creatures, sweat dripping from her alien brow (an extremely rare sight), her clothes torn here and there, and even more shockingly, several cuts marred her other wise beautiful face.
She let out a primal howl, and sent a devastating kick to the demon's (she believed) chest. It toppled over, oozing strange liquids, and shrieking. A bright shaft of red light came blazing through a hole in the black clouds and she looked up. Through the opening came something that gave Starfire's heart great renewed hope…for a moment.
"Stop," an all too familiar, voice rang through the streets, as if it were the voice of God. It wasn't loud, rather, it was as if its owner was standing right next to you, and every last demon became motionless. The brave protectors of Earth looked around, confused, until they found the sight that Starfire had already discovered.
"Raven…what has happened to you?" Starfire whispered.
"Nothing has happened to me. I have finally done what I should have done long ago," Starfire gasped, realizing what was so troubling about the reappearance of her friend. As the girl descended to the ground, Starfire stared at her cloak of crimson…it matched her four glowing eyes. She landed on the ground, several paces back from Star. A battered and beaten Beast Boy, along with a mangled Cyborg had come up behind Starfire and were also staring at the red cloaked girl in front of them. Her hood fell back, revealing ink black hair, and gray skin. Other than the eyes, cloak, skin, and hair, it was Raven's twin.
"You have joined the Trigon," Starfire said bitterly.
"Very good, alien. But from now on, speak only when spoken to," Starfire let out an indignant growl.
"Are you telling me that you are controlling all these creepy crawlies?" Beast Boy asked, taking a beating on the inside now, just as bad as the one he had received physically.
"Like father, like daughter," she replied, her eyes narrowing, and a grin splitting across her face that made Superman's skin crawl.
"No…" Cyborg said weakly.
"Accept it, Cyborg. Because it's only going to get worse from here," she lifted her hands, which were glowing red, and blasted the three Titans. The other demons resumed their chaos as if cued.
Third person; Disaster
Robin sat there with Raven in his arms for at least two hours. He spent the first 30 minutes of sitting there in a panicked worry, as her blood was continuing to seep from her wounds, instead of clotting, and healing like it normally did. 'Maybe it was a demon that had attached her, and that's why she's not healing like she normally does, because it was demon's venom' he thought '…But what if the other demon was more powerful than her? Could she recover from that?' his thoughts taking a turn for the worst. But eventually her blood did stop flowing and he let out a relived sigh. He let her sleep though, not knowing how mentally weakened she could be.
She finally started to move, and Robin relaxed his arms, giving her space to move. She seemed to be moving because she was uncomfortable, as her face was now scrunched up in discomfort.
"NO!" she yelled, her eyes flying open as she sat up.
"Raven! Shh, what is it?" she looked around wildly. Finally focusing on Robin, she relaxed and shook her head.
"Nothing. Just a bad dream," she said. He raised a brow, but she didn't expound. Looking down at her stomach, she grimaced. "Indecent, and a mess," she mumbled, but she knew Robin had seen her worse. As Robin watch, the dried blood on her midsection lit with her energy and began to disappear. After she was done, her pale abdomen was visible, and covered in small cuts.
"Why aren't they all gone?" he asked.
"It was demon venom, so it'll take longer for them to heal," she told him. He nodded and looked at her face. She looked up at him, and smiled slightly. Something tugged at his heart, and he gave her a small smile back.
"You shouldn't have come here, Raven," he said, his smile fading, hers with it.
"Of course I should have, Robin. I had to save you. And I have to stop them," she said, remembering the other half of her mission.
"You shouldn't have come to find me,"
"That's what friends do," she said taking his face in her hands. He smiled as she quoted him, and kissed her forehead.
"What would your father say?" a voice came from the hallway. They sprang up and looked at the five men on the other side of the metal door.
"Why don't you ask him yourself, Coman," Raven spat.
"Oh, I'll have the opportunity soon enough, don't you worry," he said with a grin.
"I don't need to worry. It's not going to happen. Give up while you still can," she hissed, rage heard very clearly in her voice. He started to chuckle, infuriating her even more so.
"Oh, Raven, silly child. You don't seem to realize that you are not the one who should be making demands. In case you haven't noticed, you are the one stuck in a cell at the moment," it was Ravens turn to laugh.
"Do you really think these bars will hold me, old man? How do you think I got here in the first place?"
"I don't know how you got in there, but I do know that you'll be staying in there," he said, the end of the statement holding all the menace he could offer.
"You foolish old man-"
"That's enough. I've lost my patience with your ignorance. This is your last chance to redeem yourself. Help us, Raven. Save yourself from eternal suffering. Help us restore your father to his rightful place," Coman said.
"You must be out of your mind to-" there was a blinding flash of red light and all noise was obliterated.
The ringing silence and light continued for several seconds. It ceased abruptly, allowing Robin and Raven to see that, of the five magistrates, three where on the ground, and two were standing, there arms held out from them.
"Theron…Galya?" Raven ask, puzzled.
"We could not let this happen. We will assist you in stopping your father and defeating the demons that are ravaging you world. We must hurry," Theron said. Without hesitation Raven and Robin stood and walked through the gaping whole in the cell door. The other three magistrates were stirring. Other noises could be heard from further down the hall.
"Theron? What have you done?!" Coman said, coming to. Suddenly a razor coated tentacle shot out of the darkness and grabbed Coman. His scream was cut short by a sickening gurgle. Raven realized then that Theron and Galya had let the demons in all the other cells loose.
"Robin! Hurry, we have to go!" Theron and Galya ran down the hall corridor with Raven and Robin hot on their heals. The sickening noises of demons were growing louder, and the screams of Juris and Tynan were causing the titans to feel nauseas. Finally, they reached the end of the corridor, where there was an intricately carved double door. The doors flew open at their approach and slammed shut after the four were safely inside.
Robin and Raven found them selves in a massive, high ceiling room. There was an enormous pit in the middle that shot out the accessional flame. The walls were covered in the same symbols that had covered Raven the last time her father tried to take over Earth. Robin collapsed then.
"Robin! Robin, what's wrong?!" Raven dropped to the ground and pulled the Boy Wonder into her arms. "What's wrong with him?!" she demanded of Galya.
"I'm actually amazed he's still alive. Mortals should not even be able to cross the threshold into this realm. It's your magic that kept him going, no doubt." Galya informed her.
"Is he going to die?"
"No. He's just worn down. As you are it seems. What happened to you?"
"Have you ever taken the long way into this place?" Raven asked with a menacing edge.
"Oh, yes. I forgot. I apologize."
"Then once I got in, one of your demons got a hold of me. I can feel my energy retuning to me though," Raven laid Robin down.
"Good. Theron and I are not entirely sure how Coman started to resurrect Trigon. We were positive you had destroyed him pretty thoroughly the last time you encountered him, but, alas, it would seem you can never truly erase every trace of pure evil. We were very proud to hear how well you did against him though. We don't think he has much power at all right now, so it shouldn't be that hard to stop the process. Do you think you can do it?" Galya asked. Raven wasn't sure what to say to the overload of information, so she kept it sweet and simple.
"Yes," She walked over to the side of the pit, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "If and when Robin wakes up, tell him what I'm doing and that I'll be fine. We'll be home soon."
"Of course" Theron said. Raven rose into the air above the pit and was engulfed in a ball of black energy which disappeared in a blinding flash of white light.
