Your covers blown

Nowhere to go

Holding your fate

-Blow Me Away

Friends or Foes?

Shadow started to slowly stand up. ''It's you'' she said. ''How?'' she asked the four figures standing before her. She knew it could be nothing good.

The people standing before her were once people she knew well. But they had changed well. They were the Titans of her reality. But, just like in Shadow's vision, their skin was an ashy grey, several bruises and cuts standing out. Blood, only a little bit, covered their eyes glowed a viciousn alien, a cyborg, a changeling, and a leader.

No, she didn't know them anymore. A tear slipped down her cheek. She slowly backed up. ''It can't be'' she said. ''This is my father's doing, I know it'' she said. He took them, killed them, and resurrected them, just so he could make them his undead soldiers.

''You could've saved us'' Starfire said, her voice was venomous. She was trying to make Shadow weak, by mocking her, trying to make her visions play out. She smiled coldly. ''Look what he's done to you!'' Shadow said. ''He's made us see truth. And we serve him now. What's the point of doing good, when there's more pleasure in pain?'' Starfire bit back. Nightwing made his way towards Shadow. ''Besides, you know you don't want to hurt us. You're going to lose anyway.'' He said, breaking Shadow's heart in two. He smiled, throwing a bomb at her and stepping back. Shadow made a black bubble around it, containing it's explosion. Stafire shot her starbolts at her. Shadow dodged all of them. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon at her from behind, hitting her in the back and forcing her to her knees.

Beast Boy changed into a bull, charging at her. He hit her, sending her to the wall of a nearby building. ''I won't fight you, because I know that there is still good in you somewhere'' Shadow said weakly. She was bleeding through several cuts. Starfire flew above her and shot starbolts at her back. She fell to her knees. ''Good, because that just makes our job so much easier'' Beast Boy said. Nightwing stepped towards her, holding a blade in his hand. ''Please… you have to remember!'' Shadow begged, hoping they would remember their past lives. He smiled evilly and held the blade up. Just as he was about to bring it down on her neck, a starbolt hit his hand. He dropped the blade, hissing in pain. All the evil Titans looked to where it had come from.

The good Titans stood there. ''Get away from her'' Robin said. Shadow looked up, tears falling freely.

Nightwing laughed, then turned to look at Shadow. ''This is who you came for to get help?'' he said. All the other evil Titans laughed. The Titans stood on either side, both teams in fighting stances. Raven went over to help Shadow. ''Stay still'' she told her, putting her hand to Shadow's wounds. It wasn't much of a problem to stay still for Shadow, seeing she was too injured to move. She coughed, blood coming up.

Raven continued to heal Shadow as the two teams engaged in combat. Both Starfires took to the sky, chasing each other and shooting starbolts. Robin went up against Nightwing. Several gadgets tested each other. Explosions could be heard. The Cyborgs blasted their sonic cannons at each other, and missiles followed. With the two changelings, it was a contest between animals. Shadow watched, feeling guilt weigh her down. She had brought this upon them. Once Raven had finished healing her wounds, Shadow stood up. She snuck up on Nightwing, putting one of her arms around his neck. She put her other free hand up on his head. Suddenly, he yelled out, grabbing everyone's attention. The hand that was on his head started to glow. Soon, all the gray was washed away from his skin, his cuts healed. His skin returned to it's normal shade. Instead, Shadow's was cracked and ashy. Her eyes were red as well. Her skin split a little, revealing the cuts that she took from Nightwing. All the Titans' (both good and bad) eyes widened.

''Shadow?'' Cyborg (good one) asked. ''Is it you?'' Raven asked. ''I'm still here, and I still have control over my father's temptation'' she responded. ''How did you do that?'' Beast Boy asked her. ''It's my healing power. I healed him, returned him to life, and took away all the temptation and control'' Shadow answered. All the other bad Titans ran over to Nightwing's still form. Shadow walked behind Starfire and put her hand on her head. She healed her, her skin becoming the slightest bit more cracked and ashy. Starfire fell to the ground.

Before anyone could do anything, she healed Beast Boy. Cyborg tried to get up to escape, but was held down by Shadow's powers. She put her hand on his head. Her hand glowed red this time instead of blue. Once she healed him, Cyborg fell to the ground, joining the rest of the Titans. Shadow smiled evilly. ''You make it too easy'' she said, putting her hands on her hips. ''And now, all your power is mine!'' Shadow said. She laughed coldly. Then her hands shot to her head. ''Run! Now!'' she yelled at the Titans. ''Take them with you!'' she said. The Titans nodded, all except Raven. They all grabbed their other selves. Starfire flew off towards the tower, holding her other self in her hands. Beast boy turned into a pterodactyl and flew off after Starfire. Cyborg and Robin put the two others in the T-car and drove off, leaving Shadow and Raven by themselves.

''What are you doing? Go!'' Shadow shouted to Raven. ''I can help'' Raven said calmly. Raven put her hand on Shadow's shoulder and began healing her. Raven took on half of the tempting power, Shadow held on to the other half.

''We have to banish this power'' Shadow said as Raven's skin became cracked and ashy, just like hers. Raven looked up, her eyes red. ''I know that'' she said.

''I know where'' Shadow said, flying off. Raven flew after her. They went to the old library, where the Titans had gone to find the gem. They traveled through all the passages, heading to where Raven had let Trigon into their dimension.

Both girls sat on the hand, where the portal was once opened, where Trigon once stood. They sat across from each other, then closed their eyes.

As one, they shouted ''Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!''. A red aura surrounded them, then shot up into the sky. Their skin returned to it's normal shade of gray. Their eyes went back to their amethyst color. All the wounds in their skin healed.

''The time is close, dear daughter.'' Trigon said in both the girls' heads. They looked at each other, worry filling their eyes.

''We better get back to the tower'' Raven said. Shadow nodded, then phased through the ceiling, along with Raven.
