He then checks off all of them.
"Now then little sidekicks. What's you move?", Larkman questions before picking up a folder labeled Operation: Terror.
Jump City...
"I'm sorry about your founding fathers exhibit being trashed.", Robin said looking at the crime scene in the Jump City Museum of History.
"Well, tanks for asking T.U.R.F. (Titans Urban Reconstruction Fund) to help the museum with the cleanup, Robin.", the curator said.
"You said this was a "Titans Related" incident?", Robin asks.
"Yes, I need to show you something. I thought you should see it before I called anyone else...", the curator said leading him to the security room. Just as Robin enters the room he sees Larkman sitting on the chair. The curator walks between the two and Larkman is gone. Robin rubs his eyes wondering if he was hallucinating.
"Our security camera caught this late last night...", the curator said point to the screens showing Raven trashing the place, much to Robin's shock.
Titans Tower...
I'm telling you guys, Raven's been acting really weird lately!", Beast Boy said.
"Define "Weird", east Boy, because you know "Normal" for Raven is plenty weird enough for the rest of us.", Cyborg said.
"Dude. Haven't you noticed how... Happy she is there days?", Beast Boy asks.
"Perhaps she create another one of her forms meant for socializing.", Starfire said.
"Come on, B.B.. Even moody people like Raven are allowed to get up on the right side of the bed once in a while!", Cyborg points out.
Raven enters the main room now in her white form and shockingly whistling a happy tune.
"Okay. That ain't right even for her.", Cyborg whispers to the two.
"Robin once told me not even Batman whistles when in a good mood.", Starfire whispers.
"Told you.", Beast Boy whispers.
Raven then enters the get huddle and cheerfully whispers. "Hey, I like secret's too!"
"Raven, your acting cheery today. Even more cheery than usual.", Starfire said showing signs of being somewhat creeped out.
"Yeah, what's up with the Little Miss Sunshine Routine?", Beast Boy asks.
"Routine? What Routine?", Raven asks confused.
"And what's with the white cloak? This another one of your forms?", Cyborg asks.
"Not this one. I wasn't into the dark blue today. You know, just not feeling it."
"'Not feeling it'?", Beast Boy questions.
"I think she looks pretty in white.", Starfire compliments.
"All right, what have you done with the real Raven?", Beast Boy asks.
"Wh-what? It's really me...", Raven answers.
"Oh, yeah? We'll see about that!", Beast Boy said grabbing a glass of grape juice and splash it onto Raven's clothes.
"Yo! What was that for?", Cyborg exclaims.
It's okay, Cy... If I soak it right away, it shouldn't stain...", Raven said completely not offend.
"Wait. "Cy"...?", Cyborg then realize something is not right. "What have you done wiith the real Raven?!"
"I'm just going to throw this in the washer... Be right Back...", Raven said leaving.
"Did you see that?", Beast Boy exclaims.
"Yeah... Not only did she not clown-slap you... She wasn't even mad...", Cyborg said.
Robin then enters the room. "Titans... Where's Raven? We need to talk."
Unknown location...
Mard Geer was sitting in a cafe enjoying a cup of tea.
"Such a strong aroma.", Mard said taking a sip.
"So the rumors are true. You're free from imprisonment.", a child-like voice calls out behind Mard.
"Klarion, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?", Mard asks as Klarion sits across him.
"Oh, come now. We are brothers.", Klarion said petting Teekl.
"Half-brothers.", Mard corrects. "And don't get cocky. You're only called the Lord of Chaos because you are the second-born and my imprisonment."
"True, you are then and even now the most powerful of us seven siblings.", Klarion said. "How is that little sister of mine?"
"Hmph! You haven't even got the chance to see her?", Mard asks. "Such a poor excuse of a brother."
"Well excuuuse me, but we weren't considered good sons to our father as well."
"True. After six tries he decided to give birth to a girl believing that she is much more easier to manipulate."
Raven's Room...
Raven sits on a magic circle and starts chanting.
"AZARATH... METRION... ZINTHOS... KALAZON... RACASHOS... ENDARATH... VASIRIX... ZENDRIEN... AZARATH... AZARATH!"
Raven stands before the now restored magical city.
Titans Tower...
"Hey, Raven... Can we speak to you for a moment?", Robin asks knocking on the door, but notice that the door is open. "Raven?"
"Guys! She's not in there!", Cyborg calls you running to Robin and Starfire with Hummingbird BB behind him. Cyborg then shows Robin his arm monitor revealing Kitten.
"Teen Titans! Get your butt over here! You stupid friend Raven is beating up my father!", Kitten shouts.
Azarath...
Raven flies to her mother Arella.
"Raven?"
"Mother.", Raven said hugging her.
"What brings you here? Is something wrong?", Arella asks.
"No. Just the opposite. Everything is perfect!"
Killer Moth's Home...
Killer Mother gets thrown out of the house.
"Wh-what do you want from me...?", Killer Mother asks completely dazed as the attacker was none other than Raven in red. "I h-haven't done anything wrong... yet!"
Before Red Raven could do anything else Kitten wraps her arm with her electric whip.
"Leave my father alone!"
Red Raven responds by shocking the whip and Kitten.
"Raven!", Robin calls out as he and the other Titans arrive on the scene. "I don't know what's gotten into you, but this stops now!"
Azarath...
"I don't understand... What do you mean you no longer have any evil inside of you? Everyone has good and evil within them.", Arella said.
"Even after Trigon was defeated, I knew that I still had some of him inside of me...", Raven explains.
"Raven... He was your father... like it or not. He'll always be a part of you."
"There was one other thing I want to ask you.", Raven said. "Why did Trigon choose me? I learned he had other children before me, but why me of all people?"
"So you learn of Mard. To tell you the truth I don't know everything about our entire family, but I'll tell you what I do know.", Arella said.
"Even before you were born, Trigon had long to take Earth as one of his own. The catch was that he must be summoned in order to travel dimensions an ability he is unable to do. While cultists like the Church of Blood are capable of doing so, they can't summon him at his fullest. Because of that the summoning involves with him impregnating a sacrifice and give birth to a child powerful enough to summon him to Earth at his strongest. Unfortunately that plan has flaws as well, the first born, Mard prove to be too powerful even as an infant, while the other five although less powerful are rebellious and controllable."
"So then he went for you.", Raven said sadly.
"Indeed, he then decide to gain a daughter would be much more easier to control and manipulate.", Arella said. "Especially after what happened after he had his way with me."
Flashback...
Both Arella and human-size Trigon sleep. Next to the sleeping Trigon is a dream cloud and a male version of Raven appears intended to be named Nevar.
"Father dearest, I am the son you crave. I'm smart, athletic and ever so loyal.", Dream Nevar proclaims. "Could your previous sons ever be as loyal as me?"
"Oh! My loyal boy! Why can't I have you?", Trigon questions in his sleep.
"I don't know. Too much jerkin' your merkin?"
"Why you little...", Trigon said waking up and strangles Dream Nevar. "Get out of my dreams and into my 'wife'!"
A young Arella wakes up as it happens.
"I could've married Vandal Savage. He wasn't so preoccupied with procreation.", Arella said to herself. "Ting-a-ling-a-ling. Know what I mean?"
Flashback ends...
Raven looks at her mother with an appalled look.
"I was young and naive at the time.", Arella said admitting it was not her brightest moment.
Back with the Titans...
Come one, Ray... Please don't make me hurt you! I know this isn't you-This is just some bad voodoo!", Cyborg warns aiming his sonic cannon.
Red Raven simply smiles and and casts a spell on Cyborg. Cyborg notice something was wrong.
"What... What's happening to me...?", Cyborg wonders as his body breaks apart. "Whoa! Hey!"
"Your father may somehow be behind this, Raven, so you leave me no...", before Starfire could finish Red Raven teleport Starfire to a warehouse full of goons. "...Choice?"
The goons draw their guns and attack Starfire. Red Raven then ties Robin up and traps Beast Boy in a cage.
"Raven! Stop! Let us help you!", Robin calls out trying to break free.
Azarath...
"I have never felt like this in my entire life...", Raven said looking at her reflection. "No shame... No anger... No fear..."
"I wish I could tell you that it's okay... That you can stay like this forever...", Arella said understandingly. "I know it must feel like someone has turned on a light in the darkness but it's still dark outside." Arella then shows Raven through the mirror of Red Raven's rampage.
With the Titans...
Red Raven toss a mail box to a store selling Father's Day products.
"Look, we know you have "Daddy Issues," but join the club!", Beast Boy said.
"Yeah, and you don't see us trashing things and beating up people.", Cyborg said.
"Either you stop this or we're going to have to-", Robin said until he's interrupted.
"No!", Raven calls out now in her regular uniform. "Let me handle this."
"Raven?", Starfire asks in confusion having arrived the scene carrying a bunch of unconscious goons.
"The one and only.", Raven said. "This is my fault... There's no one to blame here bu me... not my father, not some "Prophecy," not my "Emoticlones" just me!"
Seeing Raven, Red Raven makes her escape.
"I was selfish... only thinking about myself... I was happy but I ignored the happiness and safety of others...", Raven said preparing to cast her magic. "Everyone has a choice to hide in the shadows or step into the light... Everyone has good and evil inside of them... Everyone has a dark side... You are mine."
Red Raven slowly get absorb back into Raven. Once the remerging is complete Raven collapse on to her knees.
"Raven... Are you all right?", Beast Boy asks putting his hand onto her shoulder.
"Don't touch me.", Raven said.
"Now that's the Raven we all know and love!", Cyborg said.
"So, that was one of your Emoticlones The one representing your "Evil" side?", Robin asks helping Raven back up.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I let it run free because... I was afraid of having all that anger and hatred inside of me... But I realize that greater than the fear of the evil within me was the fear of that evil being out here in the world where it could hurt the ones I care about."
Atlantic Ocean...
A fleet of submarines swims in the ocean nearing a kingdom in the sea.
DC Funnies
In Arkham Asylum the inmates are doing the usual in the rec room.
"I think it's wonderful that Catwoman and Batman are going to be married.", Harley cheers.
"Well I'm oppose to the whole thing!", Joker declares. "Damn oppose!"
"Mister J, what possible reason could you have against Batman being in love?", Harley asks.
"If he marries Catwoman that means we have to marry too!", Joker said. "And then other inmates, they'll be horrible freaks from different Batman movies."
Joker turns and sees the other inmates transform into their live-action movie counterparts.
Penguin - Batman Returns
