Hello Everyone! I wanted to respond to Annatheavidreader review so I put the author note up here. You're are right! I did tie this story with the original source material, the comic, but i did change somethings. I plan on including other stuff from the comic as well but it wont be used in the same context. I tried to make Raven's brothers names reflect their sins. As for the other brothers well you have to keep reading to find out what happened to them, Thanks for all the love and reviews everyone! Please keep reviewing I enjoy reading them. Okay onto the story!


Azarath. This place was a safe haven for many as well as a learning center for one great titan. That titan would one day become one of the strongest superheroes to ever hit the earth. But right now the future titan was just quietly sulking in the corner while her teacher attempted to educate her on her powers.

"See Raven with just a flick of my hand all matter is in my command. You too can possess this power, with the right guidance and control, there is no limit to what you can do Raven…Raven?" Azar turned her attention away from the humongous rock that she just lifted to her young prodigy whose back was facing her.

"Raven, are you listening to me?

Raven continued to look up at the sky as if all of life answers were written there. Azar sighed before walking slowly to her student. Raven has been out of touch for a few days but she merely assumed it was because she was coming to age. She couldn't believe 13 years has passed since Arella had come to Azarath. With her she brought a bundle of joy that Azar has come to see as her daughter. But how powerful that bundle would become was yet to be realized then. Azar knew sooner or later the pupil must suppress the teacher. She smiled at that thought. She could only imagine all the things Raven could accomplish with her powers. She only wanted the best for her. Despite the fact that she was the product of evil Azar knew that Raven was far from it. She hoped that Raven would grow old, pass that forsaken prophecy that foretold her death, and perhaps have a family of her own. But before that, Azar thought as she approached her young scholar, we must first deal with the present.

"What troubles you Raven?"

Raven turned her head slightly at the sound of her teacher addressing her so close. She glanced at her for a second before lifting her head back to her sky.

"Mom hasn't come in a while." Silence greeted Raven statement. Unsure of what to say to this Azar merely breathe an agreement to the obvious.

"Yes"

"Why?"

Raven turned herself fully, her intense gaze on Azar waiting impatiently for her answer.

"Raven," Azar began as she placed her hand on Raven's shoulder. "You must understand. Your mother loves you very much she just…" Raven violently slapped her hand away.

"It's just what? It's just hard to love the child of your rapist, don't sugar coat things Azar! I see the look of hate in her eyes. She hates me. She thinks she gave birth to a monster. I bet…she's regretting the decision of letting me live…"

"Raven that's not true"

"It is true! She can't even stand to look at me! That's why she isn't here." The temple began to shake and rumble as Raven continued her rant with tears streaming down her face.

"Raven please you need to calm down."

"You know what? I actually agree with her. She should have killed me. Don't you see? There no hope for me. You guys should just kill me now, before my sixteen birthday, there is no stopping Trigon influence." Raven sobbed silently to herself as Azar wrapped her arms around her.

"That's enough Raven. You must have faith. There good in everyone…you just have to unlock it."

"How can there be good in me when I was born from evil? You're an idealist Azar, there nothing but death in me, Death and pain."

"Raven, you don't how much of a success you are."

Raven looked up at Azar in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"My dear child…There is more to you than meets the eye." Azar gently wiped the tears from Raven as she led her towards the pond of knowledge.

"Why do you think Trigon wants you so badly?"

"Because…I'm his only daughter, The only gateway to his evil intentions and the other realms."

"True…you are his only daughter but you're not his only gateway."

"I don't understand."

"You see Raven, Trigon attempted to create other gatekeepers but they all failed."

"What happened to them? Did he…"

"Oh no…They are still very much alive. Trigon is still trying to find a use for his little creations. Look there Raven." Raven pointed to the pool as it began to swirl and twirl as an image filled the pond.

Raven bent down to get a better look. "Who are they?" She asked puzzled

"They are…your brothers."

"Brothers? I thought I was an only child. You mean mother conceived with Trigon before?"

"No my dear Raven, You are only half demon. Your brothers were conceived by pure demons, pure evil."

"But, you said there were good in everyone. Why didn't you try to help them?"

"I did…but some locks are harder to break than others. They were too deep in. They only serve your father now."

Raven lowered her head in sadness.

"Don't fret Raven. I didn't show you them so you can feel sorry for them." Azar placed her hand in the pond and the image of Raven's brother was gone. "I wanted to show you what you could have become if your mother didn't bring you here."

Raven removed herself from the pond and faced her teacher, a look of determination on her face.

"I'm ready; teach me all that you know. I will make sure my mother decision will not be wasted."

Azar smiled at her brave pupil. She could already see the powerful woman she was going to be.

"Good. Now than Raven, This will be your toughest lesson yet but once you mastered it you will be-"


"Hello! Earth to Raven!" Raven groaned as her eyes struggled to make out the figure that was in front of her.

"Jeez, Segenam, I think you over did it with the sloth spell." Asmodeus chuckled as he waved his hand back and forth in front of Raven face.

"Shut up you idiot. Do you know how hard it is to control? I struggle everyday not to put myself to sleep." Segenam spat out as he lowered himself to the floor.

"Yeah we can't all be horn dogs like you. I'm actually a little jealous. Your power is the most innocent of all us. Lust is needed for the human race to survive right? All I ever cause is a lot of bad blood and broken relationships." Livius sighed as he light his cigarette.

"Our powers are human nature Livius. The world would cease to exist without it. You can't have good without evil. All of our sins are needed." Amon answered from across the room his arms crossed and his face reflected a look of annoyance.

Livius snorted. "Our old man sure didn't think the world needed greed and gluttony. He burnt them to a crisp as soon as they were born."

"Not that I could blame him. Who would want a fat cow and power hungry moron running around in there dimension? We were just lucky he found grace in us." Asmodeus turned from Raven to join his brothers' conversation.

"And we don't need a perverted scum running around either. With all the stuff you tried I'm surprise incest isn't on your list. Now would be the perfect chance." Segenam joked.

"Ew Gross man! That's just wrong! Besides I'm not into Goths but that red head was seriously cute."

"You mean the alien?"

"No not her! That human chick, the one with the obsession with bats; I like to take her on pleasurable experience if you know what I mean?"

"Yeah I know what you mean…funny I didn't know you had a thing for cripples."

"What are you talking about she's no-"

"Quiet! She's waking up." Amon quickly hushed the others

"I thought she was already awake she was just out of it."

"Asmodeus if you don't shut the fuck up I'm going to tear you to shreds!" Amon grabbed him by the collar.

"Be cool Bro! Be cool!"

"What's going?" Raven let out another groan. She could finally clearly see her surroundings. She began to evaluate what she was seeing. Let's see here…a muscular guy with a crew cut shaking a skinny guy with hair almost as long as Starfire. Another guy to the right with bags so deep he must not have slept for weeks and another guy smoking a cigarette to the left who must have the same love of hoodies as I do. I wonder why they are all looking at me.

"She must still be out of it. Raven do you know who we are?" Asmodeus cautiously approached Raven after Amon set him down.

Amon scoffed. "All we have to do is show her our eyes and she'll get the picture. Looky here Raven, these eyes look for familiar to you?" Amon eyes flashed red as his brothers did the same. Raven blank and confused stare was replaced with a look of realization and hatred.

"Trigon!" Now she remembered, these men are her brothers. She attempted to lunge at them but she realized she was chained up.

Amon chuckled at her attempt. "Down girl, we don't want to fight you. Not that you could beat us anyway. Unless you want another snooze fest from Segenam I suggest you relax."

Raven sucked her teeth before settling back down into her chains. Easy Raven just control you emotions until they create an opening for you…for now let's just get as much information as we can.

"Where's Blood?"

"Preparing for the ritual, don't worry he won't be long."

"So you guys are keeping an eye on me till than right? Making sure I don't escape."

"Aw don't be like that Raven." Asmodeus took a seat in front of Raven excitedly. "I always wanted to meet you! My only sister! You don't know how much it sucks being with a bunch of dicks all day…literally."

Raven almost let out a laugh but she remembered he was her enemy and stifled back the laugh. Still, Asmodeus reminded her of Beast Boy a little…No! What she was thinking? He was nothing like beast boy. He doesn't even look like him. Raven took this chance to look over her brothers. They all looked closed to her age but maybe a couple of years older. Asmodeus had long black hair that was tied into a low ponytail with a red ribbon. He wore a white shirt that desperately needed to be button up and plain black slacks with dress shoes. Amon was almost as big as cyborg but robotic parts were replaced with muscle. He had on a black wife beater and a pair gray sweats and black sneakers. Segenam looked complete unruly with a plain tattered t-shirt, faded jeans, and socks. If Raven had the energy she would have asked where they were but she decided not to question her enemies' wardrobe taste. As for Livius his favorite color was differently green and if the hoodie didn't cover up his face she would have guess his hair was too.

"You guys dress pretty human for a bunch of demons."

"Ha, funny we could say the same about you Raven. Sorry that we don't have the same pale skin and dark purple hair as you." Amon sarcastically rebutted. "I guess it makes it pretty difficult to live normally. I suppose that's why you decided to run around playing hero with a bunch of costume wearing freaks."

"Speaking of freaks, are you and that green human a thing? He was oozing more lust than alien girl and mask face." Asmodeus curiously asked.

"That doesn't matter! Can you guys enlighten me on what you're planning to do with me?"

"Sorry Raven that's classified information Blood orders."

"She know we're summoning Trigon you idiot." Livius sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "She just doesn't know how."

"Oh…so can we tell her."

"Of course not, if we tell her she'll find out a way to stop it."

"Oh right sorry Raven…But you can ask me anything else! I just can't believe I'm really meeting you, Azar told me so much about you I…"

"Azar? What are you talking about?"

"You didn't know? The great mystic Azar was once our teacher as well. But unfortunately just like our father she didn't find grace within us and we were exiled from Azarath."

"I thought you choose to live with Trigon." Raven stuttered visibly shock by this information.

"Ha! How could we when all he kept thinking about was you, his gateway to his future! He didn't want anything to do with us. So he locked us into another a dimension until he could find some use for us." Amon said his voice shaking with anger. "And he did, after all he couldn't have captured you again since you and your costume crew turned him into dust. Now after all these years we can finally prove ourselves to him. Who knows maybe he might offer the earth to us as a prize once he conquered it."

Livius shook his head as he dropped his cigarette on the floor and stomped on it. "You know as well as the rest of us do that once we summon Trigon he will destroy us just like our other brothers."

"It's all because of her!"

"It's not Raven fault Amon."

"The hell it isn't! Locked away for a century only to be free to fetch the same girl that put us there in the first place! This all her fault! Now we're going to die just to bring back the pride of Trigon!"

Livius let out a dry laugh and nodded his head in agreement. "A fool's errand…"

"It doesn't have to be that way!" Raven pleaded from her spot "Please if you just let me go-"

Her brothers stiffen around her as the door to the room was opened and Blood stepped through with a smile on his face.

"Everything is prepared?" Livius asked although he already knew the answer judging by Blood expression.

"Yes...We can begin the ritual. Trigon return is only merely minutes away." Blood laughed as he approached Raven. "And it's all thanks to you his only daughter." He grabbed Raven by her chin and lifted it towards him. "To think it took six tries to get to you." Blood scoffed before letting her go.

"Segenam, Knock her out, we don't need her fighting us." Blood order as he left the room.

Raven heart began to pound as Segenam approach her.

"Please..."

"I'm sorry..."

His gray eyes was the last thing she saw before she was once again thrown into darkness.
