So let mercy come

And wash away

What I've done

-What I've Done

Scarred

What Robin had seen was a few images of his other self in the other reality. But this was something different. This was more realistic, considering they were in the real thing.

Hundreds of people lay around Shadow and Raven. They were all dead. The sky was a dark red and Trigon still sat on the tower, claiming it his throne. Raven turned her head to look at everything. Shadow's breathe stopped when she saw her friends lying on the ground, their own blood spilling out beneath them. Fire spread across the land and thousands of demons searched for anyone else who was alive. Just so they could kill them.

''I…I've…I've killed everyone'' Shadow choked out at barley a whisper. ''No it's not your fault'' Raven said, walking over to where Shadow stood. ''It should've been me, not them'' Shadow said, as if she hadn't heard what Raven said. She dropped to her knees and put her hand out on Nightwing's shoulder. Her hand started to glow, healing him. A hand fell on Shadow's shoulder, while another swatted her hand away from Nightwing. Shadow turned her head to see Raven. ''It's not worth it, you can't save them, they're already dead'' Raven said. ''Besides, this is a memory, not the real thing'' Raven added. Shadow brought her hands to her head. Her shoulders shook violently as she wept over her friends' bodies. Her head snapped up when she heard a roar. The girls both turned their heads to Trigon. He stood up, and he was walking towards them. ''Millions of lives lost, all because of me'' she said, picking up a blade that was left on the ground. She aimed it for Trigon, then threw it. It would've missed him, but her powers made sure it hit it's target. It landed on his forehead. Trigon roared again and put his hand to his forehead.

Four red eyes appeared on Shadow's face. She walked forward, holding her hand up. The blade turned black and made it's way deeper into Trigon's head. ''My memories connect to this reality'' she said as she smiled evilly. Raven ran forward and put on hand on her shoulder. Shadow sucked in a deep, ragged breath and the four red eyes disappeared. ''If you kill him, you won't be able to get back your reality'' Raven stated calmly. ''Don't you get it?!'' Shadow snapped at Raven. ''My reality's gone, it's too late!'' she said, hanging her head. ''It's never too late'' Raven said, reassuringly. Shadow sighed, then nodded. ''We better get back'' she said. Soon, all of their surroundings vanished. All her emotions stood surrounding them, all dressed in different colors. Shadow's eyes glowed white, and with a swipe of her hand, they all disappeared. Soon, they woke up. Four pairs of eyes looked down at them. Shadow sat up, followed by Raven.

Shadow looked down at her hand, discovering that it was glowing black. She closed her eyes and shook her head. ''I'll be right back'' she said. She melted through the floor. She found herself on the edge of the island. She sat down on her knees and looked out over the water. Four red eyes appeared on the water. Shadow gasped and fell back.

''You should know, dear daughter, they can't help you. No one can'' the voice of her father, Trigon, spoke. ''There is still hope. We will stop you'' Shadow spoke, although she felt her words were true, deep inside, she was terrified. Trigon laughed. A vision surrounded her. It was just like her reality, torn, flaming, filled with corpses. She saw in front of her, a sea of lava. She looked behind her and her father stood there. She looked next to her. Raven laid there, her blood pooling beneath her. Beast Boy laid to the other side of her. Cyborg laid next to Robin who were both laying a couple feet away from Raven. Shadow drew in a sharp breath and stood up. She slowly backed up and bumped into something. Shadow turned around and gasped. Stafire laid there, but stayed up above ground, due to the sharp, jagged rock through her chest.

''You could've saved us'' a voice said. Shadow turned around and saw Raven standing up, blood streaming down her body. The other Titans stood up and surrounded her, all covered in blood. Raven stepped forward and grabbed Shadow by her shirt. ''It's all your fault. You could've saved us!'' Raven said. Her skin was an ashy gray, while her eyes were black with a red dot in each. Her leotard was torn. Bruises, blood, and cuts covered her body. All the other Titans were the same.

''And now, you'll join us'' she said, and Shadow screamed. She slowly opened her eyes, and felt someone shaking her gently.

''Shadow, wake up!'' a voice called. Shadow opened her eyes all the way, and saw Raven and all the other Titans. ''It wasn't real'' Shadow whispered. 'Yet' her mind said. ''What wasn't real?'' Cyborg asked. ''Nothing'' Shadow said quickly. A little too quickly for the Titans' liking. Before they could ask any questions, she said ''why are you guys here?''. ''You mentally called out for help. We all heard it'' Raven said. Shadow stood up. ''Why did you?'' Starfire asked. ''Yeah, what happened?'' Robin questioned. ''Must've had a nightmare'' Shadow lied. ''Your scream made it sound like someone was about to murder you'' Beast Boy said. A bead of sweat made it's way down Shadow's head. 'That might of actually been so' Shadow thought. She looked at all the Titans. Their expressions read that they weren't leaving until she told them what was going on. She knew she would only be hurting them if she stayed. Trigon was going to use her again. Why else would he torment her with those visions? She shook her head, then used her telepathy to say to them 'I'm sorry. I can't stay'. ''What?'' they all said at once, and out loud. And with that, Shadow flew off. All the Titans did was stare after her, too shocked to move or say anything.

Jump City

Shadow flew over buildings and streets. She looked down and saw several people. She couldn't stay and hurt them. Suddenly, she was shot out of the sky by a shot of green energy. She fell to the street, leaving a small crater on impact. She looked up, her vision blurred. She could make out people scattering, and she could hear terrified screams. She put her hand to her head and winced in pain. Her temple started to bleed. She started to heal it, but a bladed disc hit her hand, causing it to bleed as well. She looked up. She had healed herself enough to fix her impaired vision. She looked up, and was shocked at what she saw.

''Where do you think you're going, Shadow?''

Cliffhanger!
