Salem, Tower of Fate:

"I take it she, didn't want to hand them over?" Jason asks as Raven reappears in the study where they had been reading, along with two bodies and a huge stack of books that clatter to the ground around her. "Constantine?" He asks at the sight of the Brit.

"Zatanna's drinking buddy apparently." Raven sighs, as Fate glides into view followed by Inza and Amazo. "I hope your books are in that pile somewhere?" She says to Fate.

"With Zatanna out, we can go investigate Shadowcrest more safely if not. I have prepared a suitable containment for her." The mage replies.

"The kind I was in?" Raven asks, wondering how Zatanna was going to act when she woke up.

"Yes, only that there is a bed is inside this one." Fate replies. "If you would put Mr. Constantine in a separate room." Fate says to the android, which blurs out of sight with the two.

"Are you wounded?" Inza asks.

"What? Oh no, that's nothing." Raven replies first in confusion before she has the tear in her leotard seal up.

"Ah, you must be Raven?" A deep voice says from behind Fate that has Raven look up in surprise.

"Ah yes, while you were away, this gentleman came looking for you." Fate says as he steps aside revealing Captain Marvel.

"Captain Marvel?" Superman asks in surprise.

"Oh, and what can I do for you?" Raven asks equally mystified why he would seek her out.

"I am on an errant of asking you to accompany me to see the Wizard. Hmm, I can see now why he finds you interesting." He says as he rubs his cheek.

"You have the soul of a child?" Raven counters as the size of the man doesn't seem to match the size of his soul.

"Billy Batson, 13 years old when he is not transformed." Batman says from within.

"That is correct, and fear not Superman, Metropolis is in good hands, even in my absence." Marvel says, startling the Leaguers. "This is request from the Wizard, since he learned of your predicament."

"And why would I want to meet with this Wizard?" Raven asks, somewhat annoyed at being treated like some exhibit to be shipped around for study.

"The Wizard Shazam, is probably the most powerful mage of any dimension, he may be able to help us." Fate mentions. "In return for a favor, that is."

"Magic always has a price." Bruce sighs.

"One does not grow to the Wizards age by handing out gifts freely, will you accompany me?" Marvel asks.

"Fine, but I let you know that returning the founders to their bodies has my first priority, not entertain an old man." Raven warns him.

"Of course and I would not summon you without due cause or without the chance of aiding them." Captain Marvel speaks with the voice of an old man, which surprises the group. "Sorry, he is practically omniscient but prefers only speaking through me when he has to."

"If he's omniscient, it means he can hear and see me now, why do I need to visit?" Raven asks.

"Quite simple, since he can see everything, it's all just very, very small, to him. But he may have other reasons." Marvel says with a smirk. "Shall we begin our journey?"

"Sure. I will be back later." Raven sighs before following him out.

"You sound uncomfortable about this meeting?" Diana asks.

"I'm uncomfortable about the numerous, very powerful entities that seem to find me interesting all of a sudden." Raven sends back.

"Stage fright." John mentions.

"You can call it that." Raven continues. "But I am worried about when some of the fiends below begin to notice this as well."

"You will resist them if they do, like you did Ares." Diana mentions.

"It was only because of you I could." Raven sends back.

The Watchtower:

"Guess you found the others." Cyborg notes dryly at the group of people standing outside the station morgue. All of them are looking grim and covered in dirt, like Cyborg, Beastboy and Starfire is.

"Unfortunately, yeah." Kid Flash sighs. "They were all exactly where Raven said they would be."

"Dr. Mid-Night and Atom is working on Wildebeest now." Jinx says as she sits curled up against the wall next to Kid Flash. The rest of the group consists of Jericho, Aqualad, Speedy, Bushido and Red Star.

"Comrades are those…?" Red Star asks as voices the question they all had when they noticed the bags on the trolleys the three founding Titans are pushing in front of them, the Swiss authorities took care of the monks.

"It is." Starfire confirms with an almost shattered voice as the three enter the morgue to deposit the bodies before coming back out. Starfire was the one that had found Melvin, still hugging her teddy bear.

"Cy, who hit us? They must have known where to find them." Aqualad asks. "And it must have been the same guy; everyone was buried under tons of dirt."

"Terra did…" Beastboy says with a defeated tone.

"What?" Jinx asks in surprise.

"It was an inside job." A deeper voice says from behind the group. "Terra was promised Marakovia for her efforts; Luthor hacked our old communicators and had her track down the others." Jinx stares wide eyed at Batman walks down the corridor.

"That's not Raven." She states.

"Nightwing." Cyborg greets with a nod. "What do we do about this?"

"Terra is in custody, evidence of her actions will be uncovered and she will be put away for a very long time." Batman replies in a tone that lets the others know he doesn't like it either. "I have asked a psychiatrist to come up here and evaluate her, if she is as unstable as I think she is, Arkham will be her new home."

"She is up here?" Bushido asks, getting a nod from Batman.

"I trust you all know why we can't act on this." He says. "Bushido, I know you feel your honor has been stained, but it was not Terra who did that part."

"But what of the honor of the Titans?" The samurai asks.

"It will be a stain on that honor if any of us act on this. We can only mourn our friends…"

"Damn it Rob! How can you be so stone cold about this?!" Jinx shouts. "They were your friends too!"

"Jinx, there's nothing I'd want more right now than to strangle Terra with my bare hands for what she did. But it won't bring any of them back and it will only lower me to her level, and believe me, I know enough psychos to know that may be a part of what she wants."

"I could do it." Jinx suggests, getting everyone to stare at her. "It's not like I don't know the inside of a prison."

"Jinx, you are better than Terra, always has been since the Brotherhood. Don't return to that path, it's not worth it. Those in there would not want you to do it." Batman says while thumbing at the morgue.

Elsewhere:

"Is there a reason why we don't just teleport up there?" Raven asks as the two fly through a tunnel of bright, warm lights.

"Well, it's a bit hard to explain fully, but think of the Rock of Eternity as an object that moves between dimension constantly, occupying the same space in each. If you imagine a dimension as a flat disk, the Rock will occupy a certain spot in that dimension. Above and below this dimensional disk there will be other similar disk's where the Rock will occupy the same area in those, forming a straight line as it moves between them." Marvel explains. "Bit like an interdimensional elevator really."

"So if it has a set distance from Oa in ours, it will have the same in another dimension?" John asks.

"Exactly, it always holds the same spot compared to the center, thought he center may have been turned slightly when compared to the Rock." Marvel continues.

"So it sits on a multi-universal nexus." Raven surmises.

"Actually it sits on the only multiversal nexus that includes all others." Marvel continues. "I think you have noticed its presence before, have you not?"

"I may have, thought I never knew what it was." Raven admits. "It's like a compass when I teleport?" She ask and gets a nod.

"I works like that for those who can move between dimensions by magical means." Marvel replies. "As the Wizard told me, it is because the Rock of Eternity is also magical focal point where all magical power flows through, he even mentioned if someone was to float on the magical currents, they would eventually come to the Rock."

"So does this mean that there are more universe's out there?" Flash asks the question that had been bugging him.

"Indeed, there are quite many and many versions of ourselves out there." Marvel admits. "But not all of them are like us. The Wizard once told me that the universe I inhabited was merged with yours, but I do not remember any of it, such merges happens once in a while and no one but the Wizard notices, oh and a few others who keep their eyes peeled for such things. I believe your friend Donna Troy is a good example of this works."

"Oh, how come?" Diana asks genuinely surprised that Donna was known to the Wizard and Marvel.

"Her story is long and muddled, in one as you know she was brought to Themyscira as a child after being orphaned by a fire and saved by Wonder Woman. In another, Donna was created by Magala from Diana's mirror image so that the young Princess should not grow up without knowing another child, unfortunately others affected the spell and Donna was lost in time before reappearing as a child of 10 when Diana had grown to adulthood. It is like this and believe me, most people are best left unknowing about these things. But I think, one day, Donna will be a unique individual in the Multiverse, at least the Wizard thinks so."

"But not in what way?" Diana continues while wondering why Donna was so special in the eyes of the Wizard, since it was clear to her it had nothing to do with her being an Amazon or her association with herself.

"Nothing he has wished to explain." Marvel shrugs. "He's like that and sometimes he says and does things that don't seem to have any reason…maybe he only told me because I would one day tell you?" He suggest.

"I have to agree, it might be an uncomfortable and dangerous knowledge to share with the wider world." J'onn says as the Founders are reminded about how complicated everything quickly became when they had to explain the Justice Lords.

"Ah there it is." Marvel says as the tunnel seems to open up into a huge open cave composed of lights as a huge diamond shaped structure made of grey rock appears before them, a solid object appearing in a storm of colors and lightning. "The Rock of Eternity."

The Rock is indeed made of stone, but it seems to be made of thousands of smaller pieces, forming two huge cones with the pointed ends forming the peak and bottom of it, giving it it's diamond shape.

"Impressive." Raven notes as she sees it with her mystic sense rather than her eyes before they land on the Rock in front of a small cave entrance before the two walk inside. Raven notes the tunnel looks just like any other she's been in with her normal sight, but that everyone inside of her, including the Azerathians, are paying close attention to what is going on. To her mystic senses however the tunnel is like a continuous stream of magical power that's almost blinding her. Raven becomes more interested when they pass seven statues, all with a name on a plate at their feet and somehow matching appearances to the name.

"The Seven Deadly Sins that foolish Pandora in ancient times unleashed upon the world." An old man's voice says as Marvel moves aside, letting Raven seen the owner as they have reached the end of the tunnel, culminating in a tiny cave. The speaker is a white ghost of a balding man with a long white beard that reaches his knees as he is standing in front of a seat carved in the rock with several scrolls standing to either side of it, resting against the wall. "As you have guessed, I am the Wizard Shazam."

"But you're…" Raven notes as she can see right through him.

"Only in body, child of Trigon. A prophesized piece of rock ruined my physical body, but I had outgrown its use by then. But how about you? Do not hide yourself from me." He says before his eyes glow yellow for a second, Raven doesn't have a chance to reply or resist before the transformation begins. As she stumbles to the ground under the influence, inside her mind the world quakes as Raven is forcibly transformed into her demon guise. But the pain she feels doesn't stop after her human features are gone, in fact, it seems to increase drastically. Her skull feels like it is about to crack as something seems to push its way through the bone and skin. It feels as if someone just carved two very long vertical slashes down her back and then poured acid into the wounds. At this point Raven simply passes out from the pain with a silent scream playing across her face.

"Umm, was that really necessary?" Marvel asks as the Wizard sits down as if he had done nothing.

"It was unexpected; I will wait till she awakens. You may go Billy." The Wizard replies absentmindedly, otherwise ignoring the unconscious body on the ground as it continues to twist and transform, Marvel sighs at him.

"Shazam!" He yells as a bolt of lightning strikes him, transforming the big man into the boy named Billy Batson. "She seems nice enough." He says before walking out one of the doors besides the throne.
