Jump City Penitentiary:

"Hey you can't enter here!" A FBI agent shouts as Raven ducks under the barrier tape surrounding the open pit Green Lantern dug in the courtyard. Raven halts as the man grab hold of her cloak from the other side and turns slightly, just enough to be able to see him. A number of guards, both FBI, prison and National take notice of the situation and direct their attention to it.

"Let go." She says quietly letting a growl seep into her voice.

"It's all right, let her through!" Rancid's voice shouts over the speaker system. "She's Justice League." The agent looks at Raven for a few seconds before letting go.

"Don't touch anything." He warns.

"Whatever." Raven shrugs before floating down the pit, ignoring any reply the man may have.

"He's just doing his job." Flash mentions.

"Batman and Superman don't appreciate when people hold onto their capes either." Raven sends back.

"Point taken." Flash replies as they arrive in the tunnel before Raven flies down it.

"Floor below you was where we found the hostages." John adds.

"Start there, I want to have a look at the holding cell you woke up in." Batman says.

"Hey Bats, how are you floating like J'onn?" Flash asks as Raven heads in the direction she believes to be the right way.

"Same way we can fly." Batman replies, Raven knows he is floating a few feet over the ground while resting his head on his balled fists, keeping his eyes fixed on the white orb in the Council Chamber, along with the rest of the Leaguers.

"What the hell?" Flash swears as his own attempt lands him on his butt, to the amusement of John and Shayera, while Raven heads down an elevator shaft with a recent addition; a ladder, since the elevator itself lies crushed at the bottom of the shaft.

"I think there is a purpose of the way this facility has been constructed." Raven notes.

"Agreed, none of the floors appeared to be copied or simply mirrored." Batman agrees. "Lex would never build anything randomly if he was in his right mind."

"We don't know if he was that, yet, but Batman is right." Superman agrees as Raven recalls the place of her cell and speeds up her flight, the place seems oddly quiet. "Isn't this place supposed to be swarming with investigators?"

"Yes. Unless they have gone home for the night or the more interesting parts are elsewhere." Raven agrees, she doesn't like it. "Here we are." She says as she touches down outside the cell and walks to stand in the entrance, eyeing the contraption that held onto her. "When you are stuck in that, you are standing, but crouching at the same time." Raven says as she lets an image of what it looked like when in use appear next to the orb in her mind. "I couldn't break it in any way I tried, so I had to wait for someone to come. I suspect every one of the brainwashed were here at one point."

"Possible." Batman says as Raven lets her eyes wander the room.

"How did you break out?" Diana asks.

"Had to wait for The Mad Hatter to come." Raven replies as she lets her memories form a different orb displaying what she saw. "I woke up to Lex and Tala talking about me, Lex was dismissive of me as a standard Amazon, Tala was getting the willies from looking at me. He said he had run some scans and tests but I don't know how he came to that conclusion. Anyways, Jarvis rhymed some made up verse about what he had and what he was going to do when he approached this cell. It was only when he entered I noticed they had taken my bracelets. I played dumb and let him give them back, having wrecked the chips I found he had put into them. After that, he let me out of this contraption." She says, not bothering continuing as her memories tells the Leaguers of the rest. "He didn't have to die." She sighs as the memory part finishes with Raven heading out the door.

"Is it possible your powers could have set it off?" J'onn asks.

"Maybe, but I never fail to notice when they begin to fluke." Raven explains. "Yes I was upset, since I knew what Luthor was going to do, but not any more than what I am used to suppressing. Even with the godswater entering the equation." She adds, silencing Batman's question.

"It could be triggered by certain feeling, like pain, fear, that sort of thing?" John adds.

"Or someone with a switch." Shayera continues. "I just find it suspicious that it activated when you asked about anyone other than Diana."

"Someone wanted Raven to come to me, and only me?" Diana asks.

"It's possible, but unless we can find a switchboard with names on it, I think John's suggestion holds the most merit." Raven adds.

"Would relieve a person from actively having to watch over the people he or she is controlling." Superman adds, shooting down the outburst Shayera was about to counter with.

"Anything else you can tell us about this room?" Batman continues.

"I'm not a tech-genius, but I'd say this thing is pretty advanced." Raven says as she walks slowly around the contraption that held her down.

"Probably extends below the floor." Batman adds.

"What does your other senses tell you?" Diana asks.

"Who ever made it impervious to magic is skilled, very skilled." Raven notes.

"Either Circe, Tala or Zatanna, if they could compel her to it." J'onn adds.

"Circe, most likely, Zee claimed once she was a goddess when it comes to magic." Batman continues. "We don't know what Tala is."

"She technically is a goddess, there are some rumors she houses the spirit of Hecate, our goddess of witchcraft." Diana adds.

"She's powerful, but her powers are generally focused on mind magic like all of her kin." Raven chips in.

"Her kin?" Superman asks.

"You don't know what she is?" Raven asks in surprise.

"You do." Batman surmises as raven realizes the League through Tala was a human.

"She's a succubus, if not The Succubus. I spent much of my time with Azar studying demons, Tala is mentioned in several very old tomes to be the leader of the succubi from the Greater Hell, a place where all minor Hells mix together making it the largest of them all."

"She doesn't look demonic?" John adds.

"Neither do I, when I don't want to." Raven counters. "Whatever she looks like while on Earth, is meant to lure mortals to her. But she doesn't look like me in her true shape, which I saw when I broke into her mind." She continues as an image of Tala in her true form appears in her mind.

"Kinky." Flash add.

"It's what they do." Raven adds.

"We are done here." Batman says. "Best place to start looking for answers, would be…"

"Lex's lab and the private chambers." Raven finishes, snapping her fingers before heading off.

Meanwhile in Switzerland:

"I believe, I am going to be the sick." Starfire says, as the Swiss authorities pull the 5th body out of the ruins.

"I think I am." Cyborg says. Garfield had been sick when the first room had been opened, revealing its crushed occupant to be in a ghastly state of decomposition.

"Cy, is there any way someone else could have done this?" Garfield asks, the three have pulled back to allow the rescue team do their job.

"There is, but is just has Terra written all over it." Cyborg sighs. "Parts of this place were bombarded by huge boulders before it seems like the ground just disappeared under the foundation, causing the monastery to collapse before it was buried and crushed." He continues before he notices a group of reporters moving towards them. "Oh no…"

"Cyborg? Care to comment on how you knew about this?" A red dressed woman in high heels asks, sporting a thick French accent.

"Do you have any leads?" A man asks.

"Are the Titans back together?" A third asks, as Cyborg waves the others off, leaving him to deal with this.

"One at a time, please!" He says, waiting for them all to quiet down somewhat. "I can't comment about how we found out. But we do have a lead on who did this. For the third question, I will only say that we are as much a family as a team, but we are currently working together again." He says before another barrage is unleashed on him, while Beastboy and Starfire retreat to sit on a rock out of sight and sound of the reporters looking up at the emerging moon.

"I hate to admit it friend Beastboy, but Cyborg is right, this truly does appear to be Terra's work." Starfire sighs in a depressed tone.

"I know Star, I know." Beastboy whispers as his mind races with all of his memories of Terra, faster and faster they go before he remembers the face Terra sported the night she attacked them all. The smirk and the crazed look in her eyes, and then he sees her sporting the same expression while floating on a rock while the monastery crumbles beneath her assault. "DAMNIT IT I KNOW!" He screams before he changes into a gorilla and hurls a huge boulder down the mountainside while roaring after it before changing back."Damnit I know." He whispers as he falls onto his knees with tears running from his eyes as he looks up at the emerging moon. "Damn you Raven for being right, God damn you." He cries, unheeding of the arms wrapping themselves around him.

"No, do not curse her, curse the bnf'ofkar who did this." Starfire says as Beastboy wraps his arms around her as well.

"Why do I always choose the wrong ones?!" Garfield almost howls into her shoulder. "I fall in love with a half demon and a fucking psychopath, what kind of guy am I?!"

"A very kind one, one who opens his heart to those who need it most." Starfire says. "Had you been born on Tamaran, you would have been great amongst us." She says quietly as her own tears take hold and the two friends hold onto each other for dear life. Raven may have been the one who was first affected by Terra's betrayal of them, the events tonight have dragged what Raven saw in her into the light for Beastboy and Starfire to see, and it has broken them.

Back in Jump City:

"Guess we know where they all went." Raven whispers to the others as she touches down and walks the last few feet, having spotted several agents working on opening a metal sliding door.

"Waller." Batman grumbles as the spot the woman standing at the back with passive expression on her face as she watches the others toil. "Be careful around her." Raven nods at this.

"How'd you get in here?" Waller asks in surprise as she notices Raven, the others stop working to look at the new arrival as well.

"Rancid let me in." Raven shrugs.

"Idiot." Amanda whispers under her breath. "Let me guess; the League sent you?"

"Yes, I am acting as Batman's eyes and ears as he cannot be here in person." For some reason Raven finds it a little amusing saying that, since she was both lying and being truthful as well.

"The League must still be in turmoil." Amanda shrugs. "But you can forget about getting access to that lab, whatever is in there is government property."

"Options?" Raven sends inwards.

"They want anything Luthor might have come up with to fight us." J'onn says.

"Not to mention anything else that may be inside." Flash adds.

"Not like you seem to be having any luck with the door." Raven grumbles at the woman.

"Can you teleport through it?" Batman asks.

"Yes, it's not warded."

"We will get there." Amanda replies flatly. "Now leave." Raven just shrugs before teleporting through the ceiling.

"Think I would have liked him better when he was just a guy in a suit." Raven sighs as she studies the lab. Unlike most of the facility, this place is almost painfully well lit, making all of the gory details very visible.

There is a table with the microscope and a host of other items needed for examinations and testing that is placed against the right wall from where she stands. On the right wall, in the corner is a section of the wall that is completely covered by small television screens and a switch board with numerous blinking lights. Next to them is an area that is sunk into the wall, where two large capsule shaped tanks filled with greenish liquid are housed, along with the machinery that seems to keep it running in the back. One seems to be empty, the other has a body floating inside of it, Raven can't tell the gender from here, but it's build could be that of a female. In the center is two metal gurneys, or operating tables, one splashed with blood but otherwise empty, the other occupied by something that might once have been a human. At the far end of the lab the wall is covered by computer banks and a section where three water filled cylinders with a floating brain with eyes and its spinal column stare back at her in two of them. The brains are just about the sickest thing Raven has ever seen, she can feel their fear.

"They are alive." She notes to the others.

"My god…" Superman gasps.

"Priorities." Batman notes.

"Brains, corpse, tank, computer, cameras." Raven replies flatly before walking over to the three jars, as she gets closer she notes one only has one eye and the third tank is empty. "Strange, the one eyed one is only muted in his emotional transmission. Hold on, I will try and talk to this one." She says while looking at the one with two eyes. "Hello?" Raven asks, before a long keening wail greets her and the others. "Shh, don't worry, I just want to talk." Raven continues, while trying to transmit soothing thoughts into the mind. "Hold on, this will be a little weird." She says as she pulls the mind into her own, leaving a very nude and scared woman to appear inside the Council room, before she is covered by a piece of white cloth.

"Wha…What is this?" She asks while heaving for air. "Where am I?"

"In my mind." Raven replies from above.

"Mercy? Mercy Graves?!" The woman snaps around at the mention of the name, spotting the ghostly shapes of the League and the silent figures of the Council. "Good God, what has Luthor done to you?" Superman asks as he approaches her.

"NO! Stay away!" Mercy shouts as she backs away from him into the corner at the door. "It's a trick, I'm going mad, I have to be!" She sobs.

"Was she conscious?" Batman asks.

"Yes." Raven replies as she appears as well in the room. "Mercy?" She asks as she walks over to the weeping woman. "Take it easy, nothing will hurt you in here." She says quietly.

"Who are you? What is all of this?" Mercy asks as she tries to dry her eyes.

"I am Raven, I'm with the League. This is my mind or a part of it, it's not a trick. Look, I am afraid we don't have much time before Amanda Waller breaks down the door to the lab, but I need to know how you ended up here. I will try and see what the League can do from there." Raven says quietly as she sits down next to the woman, Mercy nods.

"I…it happened, I think, seven months ago. I was meeting my driver in the LexCorp basement after a board of directors meeting. I don't know what happened, but something hit me in the back of the head as I entered. When I came to, I was strapped down on one of the tables in the lab. That's when Luthor showed up with the Joker next to him, he talked while the Joker tortured me. Telling me he was disappointed in me but that he was willing to forgive if I resumed 'my place' behind him. I don't think I replied, but he just gave me that damn grin of his before assuming me that I would agree. I don't know how long the Joker kept up, but I eventually passed out. When I came too, I couldn't move and everything seemed distorted, that's when Luthor held up a mirror in one hand and my…my empty head in the other!" She screams the last part, causing the structure around them to rumble.

"Luthor will get what he deserves, but you have to go back for now." Raven says before she sends Mercy back into her own mind.

"Couldn't you let her stay here?" Shayera asks.

"She is coming apart at the seams." Raven sighs. "If she stays here, she will cause my powers to run out of control in the real world. I don't like leaving her in there either, but I can't shelter her, not now."

"Good enough." Batman says as she returns as well. "I suspect the other one is Deadshot, don't enter his mind, rumor has it he is insane."

"Noted, moving on to the body." She says as she walks over, while being thankful the room has a low temperature so the body doesn't smell bad, yet. "Male, Caucasian, judging from the skin color, weighting from 80-90 kg. Muscular build, assuming the deceased exercises regularly or engages in similar activities on a regular basis." She says as she walks around the body slowly. "Cause of death, unknown, he appears to be without physical injury on most of his body. Major factor, his head appears to have been torn from his shoulders, judging from the stump, most likely cause of death."

"Umm, Raven, we can see all of this." Flash says.

"It makes it easier for me to do this if I think of this as an object, also it helps me remember it." She replies while studying the wound more closely. "Question, where is the head?"

"You sound like a coroner with a recorder." Superman notes.

"Had to spend a little too much time around one due to Dr. Light, picked it up from him." Raven replies. "Could this be Deadshot's body?" She asks.

"Hmm, it's a good guess, but Wallers files claim he should have a tattoo on his chest, over his heart, a crosshair." Batman replies.

"Hmm well this one has a tattoo, but it's not a crosshair." Raven notes at his right shoulder, it's a red circle with a tilted scale's silhouette in it.

"It's Nemesis." Batman sighs, the others appear downhearted as well at the discovery. "He was a good man."

"A Leaguer I guess." Raven assumes solemnly.

"Yes, cover him up will you?" Batman asks, Raven pulls the white cloth that has been covering Nemesis' lower body over the rest of him. Looking at the covered body for a second she turns her attention to the two tanks, the left one is empty and the small console in front of it says it is waiting for a strand of DNA to be added to it so it can begin replicating. "An accelerated cloning machine." Batman notes, Raven guesses he is impressed.

"Let me guess, it makes clones at a phenomenal rate?" Diana asks.

"Yes, have a look at the other tank." Batman instructs.

"Doesn't look like a Mercy Graves clone." Raven notes at the female body in the tank that is floating with tubes going into its arms, legs and back and has a breathing mask strapped over its head. Raven looks down to see if the console will tell them more.

Status: Complete, awaiting programming.

Subject: Real name unknown, tagged: Grey Amazon.

Raven's eyes almost fall out of her skull as she reads that name and looks up in shock at the body before forcing the tubes to spin it around. "That bastard!" Raven says, mortified by the body in the tank, it's hers.

"Hera." Diana gasps.

"Raven, search it, you have to know to what extent Luthor has succeeded." Batman urges, breaking Raven out of her mortified state of mind and she nods before sending her mind into that of her double, searching it in every way she can before slipping back into herself after being out for almost five minutes.

"I don't believe it, it's a perfect double of me." Raven sighs. "Even my powers have been copied, along with the godswaters effects."

"Is it conscious?" Superman asks.

"It's a robot, it has all of the automated functions a human body has, but it has no conscious thoughts, practically brain dead."

"This is disturbing." Batman adds figuring that the clone was only brain dead because Luthor hadn't given it the programming yet. "What are you going to do about it?" He asks getting some questioning looks from the others.

"I-I have to destroy it." Raven stammers. "If it wakes it could level a city if not more because it lacks the training I have in controlling my emotions."

"Hold up. Is there no chance this could actually be beneficial, like Conner?" Superman asks.

"I mean no offence Superman, but this is not Conner. You know I didn't ask him about his past because I could feel he hated to be reminded of it, but could he control his heat vision?" She asks.

"So far, he has not actually shown to have it, much to his annoyance." Superman says. "What has that to do with it?"

"I was trained since infancy, when my powers could only rustle leaves while I was in a crib, since then my powers have grown to what it is now. This thing will wake up with that kind of power but with no idea of how to control it. Also there is the demon aspect of this, a part of my training was to suppress that part of me. It is very likely it will wake up only to be seized by that part, and you have seen what that part of me is like."

"You have to destroy it, there are too many risks involved with it." John adds.

"Is there no possibli…"

"Superman, no. Conner is a clone of you, and you are good right down to the last atom of you. I am not, half of me maybe human, but the other half is absolute evil. And one more of me is more than what this world has to endure."

"This isn't just because of the dream last night?" Diana asks.

"With a clone of me around, parts of that dream is dangerously close to being real. I am sorry, but I have to pull stripes on this, this can't be allowed to awaken." She says as she lifts off the ground and summons her energies.

"She is right, even if Luthor did it unintentionally; something like this is a time bomb." Batman agrees while wondering if Lex knew what he was doing.

"Bruce…"

"Clark no, she is right about this. It's not like Conner in any way, there's too much at risk to even try. Conner broke free under his own power. If anything this is a Doomsday copy."

"We have to agree." Hemon suddenly adds as he and Arella walks inside the council chamber. "Raven is unique, that she is the only one of hundreds of attempts from Trigon to bring a child into the world, none other lived past infancy. Trigon cannot be allowed another, least of all one that is completely without any sort of training or humanity."

"I can't believe I am hearing this?!" Superman asks in outrage. "What is Conner then? A thing? A tool?"

"No, he is a very good person and I mean person, not a clone or an inanimate object. He has a soul, very small, but it is growing. This thing doesn't have one, and if it gets one, it will be instantly swallowed by the demon inside of it."

"She is correct." Arella adds. "Do it."

Raven nods as she closes her eyes as her garb changes color to pure white, inside the chamber, the emotions disappear being replaced by a single white one. She lets her soulself lift from her before it surges forwards in the shape of a mighty bird that passes through the tank's barrier and embraces the still body inside of it. There is no sound, but they can all see what is happening as first the skin peels away, then the muscles and finally the bones disintegrate, leaving nothing of the clone behind.

"I need air." Superman says firmly before storming out of the room as Raven returns to her normal garb.

"He thinks of the best in everyone." Shayera sighs. "But that was too dangerous to leave around."

"Yes. We have to remove all traces of this contraption, or Waller might be tempted." Raven replies.

"Cull whatever information you can from it and the computers then wreck them both." Batman agrees.

"Got it." Raven replies flatly before walking over to the part of the wall with the TV screens and switches on the computer seated at the bottom while looking at the screens and the switchboard.

"It's a kill board." J'onn adds as they spot the names under each.

"Seems like you are clear Raven." Batman notes as they see Jarvis' switch having been flipped. "Is there a way to shut them off?"

"Hmm, there are two large buttons at the bottom." Raven notes at the red and green buttons, but no labels telling her what they do.

"One will kill them all; the other will short them all out." Flash adds. "Guess the green one is the one we want."

"Can't take that chance." Raven says. "Luthor may have planned on killing everyone eventually."

"Agreed." Batman adds. "Leave it for now."

"Hmm, password?" Raven notes as the log on screen appears on the computer, she thinks for a few seconds before typing in an idea and is granted access.

"How did you do that?" Flash asks, he was expecting Batman to come up with it.

"Figured with Luthor it would be something suitably arrogant." Raven replies.

"What was it?" Shayera asks.

"Iamgod." Raven replies flatly as she notes the files on the desk and that this is connected to the internet.

"That's just lame." Flash adds, getting a nod from John in agreement.

"Same thing I arrived at." Batman notes. "Open a link to Oracle, using that encrypted message program, search for Express Delivery." Raven types quickly and gets a few possibilities, picking the one based in Gotham a small window opens with a type bar at the bottom.

The Oracle: Express Delivery, how can we help you?

"Do I need to talk in codes?" Raven asks.

"No, Luthor's system should be otherwise shielded or we would have found him earlier."

Iamgod: Oracle, this is Raven, I am writing from Lex Luthor's computer in the complex in Jump City, we need you to store whatever he has here.

The Oracle: Oh boy, hit me.

Iamgod: Sending C-drive now.

Raven types before dragging the selected file over the window and drops it, beginning the upload.

The Oracle: 7000TB?! Damn I'm glad I can download 15TB a second. Will be done in about 7 minutes.

Iamgod: Ok, I got to destroy whatever is at this end when you are done.

Raven brings up a search screen and types in a query, Graves. Ignoring the single files, she looks through the folders, selecting the one named Real, she quickly reads through the files inside of it before sighing. "We can't move either Mercy or Deadshot, the systems keeping them alive are too big for me to teleport with and they will die if we go without them.

"Leave them for Waller." Batman sighs. "Can you store Nemesis somewhere cold?"

"Sure." Raven says before turning to the body and lets her soul-self swallow it, leaving only the blood behind before returning to the screen. "Seems we are done here." She says noting that the upload is complete.

Iamgod: Happy reading.

The Oracle: I need an entire team of people for all of this! But thanks. Cya.

Iamgod: Cya, Raven out.

Raven lets her powers seep into the machine connecting her soul with every circuit and every memory bank she can before she has them all rupture from within along with frying a host of chips. On the outside only the screen cracks before going black. "Now for this." She says as she faces the cloning machine again, again her powers spring forth, surrounding the entire section of the wall before it begins compressing everything. Raven visibly strains as it becomes harder and harder to compress it even further, finally stopping when the entire section has been compressed to a ball with a diameter of 1,5 meters. Although panting, Raven continues to use her powers to teleport the ball away, dropping it into Jump City Bay right under the bridge. "Time to go." She sighs as she notices the door open slightly at the bottom, quickly she gathers her thoughts and teleports out, leaving the investigators and Waller to enter the lab.

"Damn teleporters." Amanda growls as she eyes the damage.
