(From Raven's perspective)
"In love?!" she yelled, though she quickly covered her mouth, realizing it was out loud. "But.. No it can't be." She was puzzled. She had never felt real love for someone. Especially of the opposite sex.
"Oh Raven, it is truly a most wondrous day!" she exclaimed in her cheerful manner.
"Keep it down Star!" she responded. "This has to be kept between us."
"Okay, but for now, we have to get you properly dressed. I have prepared something for you. Just if this ever would happen." Starfire cheered. Raven frowned.
"What is it?" she asked. Starfire opened her closet to reveal it. "Wow. So that's a thing."

(Back to Hades)
He was pacing back and forth in his room, ready to have a breakdown.
"Oh god, I'm so nervous and I don't even know why!" he said.
"Hey, everyone is nervous on the first date." Robini said in his attempt to calm him down a bit. Hades had taken Robin to his room to tell him about what Raven had asked.
"Figures. But still.. Do I smell funny? Do I look good? Maybe I should change into something more formal. Shit, I don't know!" he said frantically. Robin sighed.
"Dude, take a chill-pill and calm down. I'm a 100 % sure, that it's gonna go well. It isn't every day Raven asks someone out." he paused for second. "Actually, she has never asked someone out."
"As if that would make me calm down. That means I'll be the first one ever." he said, even more nervous than before.
"Hades. Listen here, you look great, ya smell good, and for gods sake Hades. She has never EVER, asked someone out. That means that you're special. You've got something nobody else has." Robin said, trying to hype him up. "I mean come on, you have to be THE man, to do this."
"Yeah, you're right. I got this man, I got this in the bag." he said in response. He laughed. "Thank you Robin. You should probably leave, cause she's on her way." Robin nodded and left. 'Alright. Final preparations'

"Hey Robin. Where's Hades?" Raven. She was ready to meet him.
"Oh hi Raa~.." He stopped to marvel at the new Raven. She waved a hand in front of his face to catch his attention.
"Oh, sorry. He's outside waiting for you." he said and led her outside. Near the edge of the island stood Hades. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants.
"Good evening Raven!" he yelled. "Come on down!" She walked towards, checking her dress to look after any faults. 'Wow. She looks gorgeous.' he thought looking at his date for the evening. She wore a dark blue dress, reaching down to the middle of her shins. She even had short heels on. A red bracelet was on her right wrist.
"Wow Raven.. I'm at a loss for words. You look amazing." he said, smiling and blushing slightly.
"Uhm, thanks Hades" she said, blushing bright red. "You too."
"No, I look mediocre compared to you." he said with a smile. "Come on. There's a forest a couple miles out south. I think you'll like it." She slightly raised an eyebrow. "We aren't gonna walk are we?" she asked. "No. I have a ride." he said, then whistled as loud as he could. It wasn't long before something appeared. A plane came down and hovered in the air.
"That's our ride?" she said, staring at the small aircraft.
"Yeah. I'm more connected than you think." he said with a wink and held out his hand. She took it. Then they got picked up by a black pillar, made by Hades. The side door opened, and they stepped in.

"Seriously. How did you get this?" she asked, smirking deviously.
"Well, let's just say, that I convinced Gizmo to build me one." he answered.
"Nice." she said and giggled.

The plane had automatically flown them to the forest. "Soo, what is this place called?" Raven asked
"It was used to be called The Everforest." he answered. "Legend says, that this forest has lived for eons. Sprung from The Great Tree of Eden." Raven looked around. It was a beautiful place. Even in the dark. The old oaks stood tall, housing several animals. The forest's flora had flourished to the extremes. "How come I've never heard of this place?" she asked. The forest was intriguing her.
"It has remained hidden. It only appears if it wants to. I used to live here, before I became a titan." A solitary tear trickled down his cheek.
"You okay?" she asked with worry.
"I'm fine. This forest just brings back some memories. Good memories."

They had walked for about an hour before they decided to sit down. They sat by a giant tree. "This right here," He gestured at the tree. "Is the centre of the forest. It all started here." The great oak stood like an ancient king. Strong, but wise. "So, Raven. Is there anything you can share with me?" he asked. She squinted at him.
"Like what?"
"A secret. I love secrets, and I never tell them." he said with an innocent smile.
"Well since this night has been good so far." she paused for a second and started blushing. "I had a period when I was ten, where I would pee anytime I saw a squirrel, because I was so scared." He bit down at his to prevent himself from laughing, but he could not prevent a big smile grow on his face.
"Hey! That's not funny!" she yelled and jumped on him.
"Hahaha, it is to me." he said laughing. They playfighted for a bit, until Hades was on top. They had rolled down to the nearby lake. The moon shined bright on the two. For what seemed like forever, they stared at one another. 'Oh screw this!' he thought and pulled Raven in for a kiss. She gladly accepted. When their lips touched, it felt like their taste buds exploded with joy. Never had neither of them felt such warmth, so much passion. Hades was intent on exploring Raven. His tongue lightly tapped her teeth. She opened up. When their tongues touched, a moan escaped Raven. A warm feeling traveled down to in between her legs. She pulled away.
"Did you turn up the heat or something?" she asked. He raised his eyebrow. Her eyes then widened. She was looking at Hades' arms. They were on fire.
"OH GOD!" he yelled and jumped up, patting his arms vigorously. His eyes widened even more, when he noticed that he was becoming engulfed in flames. He was yelling at the top of his lungs, as he raced into the lake.
"Hades!" she screamed, terrified. She watched with horror, as he jumped to the center of the lake. Descending to its depths.

Then suddenly.
"AAAAAAARRRGGHH!" The lake exploded, and the a ball of fire rose above it. It shot towards Raven at an alarming speed, and stopped right in front of her.
"Never thought that this would happen." a familiar voice said. The flames extinguished. It was Hades, but his clothes had changed. He had donned crimson red armor and wielded two flaming axes. His hair had turned red with black streaks. His eyes had become amber coloured.
"What happened to you?" she asked.
"My father foretold this. This is some of my hidden potential. The fires of hell, have awakened within me." he said in roaring voice. It sounded like something was burning, like crackling coals. He cleared his throat. "Sorry. I know it's sound cheesy." She shrugged and sighed.
"And it happens at a time like this. Fantastic." she said with sky-facing eyes.
"Indeed, Raven." someone said. It was the man they never thought, they would see again.
"Slade!" Hades yelled.
"Calm down now. We wouldn't wanna start a fire." he said, eerily calm. Every joint of Hades' armor bursted with flames. He swung his axes in a cross, sending white fire towards Slade. "Captain. If you may?" A blast of ice shot at the cross. It disappeared. Captain Cold stepped out of the shadows.
"Really? I thought you were smarter Slade." he said, dissapointed. To him, Captain Cold was a lackluster villain.
"And don't you think that Flash will notice that he isn't in jail?" As on cue, a red flash sped around Cold. He was now tied down with a rope.
"You damn right I will." The Flash had arrived. "Evening you two. Or three I guess." He looked at Slade. "You've got a lot of nerve messing with me Slade." He was suddenly in front of him.
"Not me. Him." said Slade and pointed to his right. A yellow Flash appeared and hit the red one in the face.
"Hello Barry." the one in yellow said. Flash quickly got back up.
"Thawne." he and tackled him. "I'll take this elsewhere kids! Keep Slade busy!" he yelled and ran off.
"Wait! I could.." Hades started, but Flash was already gone. He look over where Slade was standing, and noticed that he was gone.
"What was that about?" Raven asked.
"I don't know, but I think Flash is gonna need some help. Go home Raven. I'm gonna go give him a hand." She nodded and flew off to the plane. He looked towards his love. 'I have to get back.' he thought. The joints in his armor shined with white flames, as he shot off into the sky.

"Why are you here Thawne?" asked Flash.
"The same reason as every time. Because I despise you and your existence Barry." he said and ran to Flash to punch him. Flash dodged it and kicked Thawne in the back. He retaliated by quickly picking up a sharp iron rod. He spun around and tried to throw it at Flash, but he easily dodged his attack again.
"Your getting slow Thawne." he said and smirked.
"No." He ran behind Flash, grabbing the rod on the way, and thrusted it through his leg. Flash screamed in agony. "I'm just getting warmed up." Thawne then ran in circles around Flash, continuously punching him. He then pushed Flash to the ground. "See Flash. What you don't realize, is that you'll never be as fast as your opposite." he said in a sinister fashion.
"Hey copycat!" someone yelled. Both Flash and Thawne looked to the skies. "You should hit the brakes!" Hades was flying towards them, with flames roaring behind him. It was almost difficult for Thawne to register it, but he managed to dodge Hades' crash.
"Your fast kid. What's your name?" Flash asked.
"The name's Hades. Big fan by the way. What am I up against?"
"He calls himself Proffesor Zoom, or rather the reverse Flash." He groaned in pain. "Are you gonna be alright?"
Flash looked at Thawne. "Yeah. I heal fast. You?"
"I'll be fine."
"Good luck to you then." Flash said, still groaning in pain. Hades took a battlestance. "I'm gonna fight a random kid instead of you? Now that's a joke I've never heard before." Thawne said cockily.
"Don't be so sure!" Hades yelled. He jumped towards him, spinning with his axes like a tornado of flames. Thawne easily dodged it by running to the left. He yawned with boredom. Hades suddenly stopped and swung the axes at Thawne, setting walls of flame around him. He tried to vibrate through them, but the fire was to intense.
"See Thawne? I'm not a joke, and you're not going anywhere." he said with a smirk.
"I suppose I did underestimate you. A mistake I won't make again." Thawne growled. Hades turned around to see Flash in a better state than before.
"Better?" he asked.
"Better. Thanks for taking care of him. The League will take it from." he said and moved up close. "And I think your girlfriend is waiting for you."
"Thanks. See you around." said Hades. His armor flared and he rocketed into sky.

"Dearest friend Raven, are you alright?" Starfire. Raven was standing outside the Titan Tower in the dark.
"I'm fine Star. I'm just worried for him." she said and looked of into the distance. "Worry not Raven. I don't know him very well, but I believe he is a very strong individual." she said and put her hand on Raven's shoulder. "He will be fine." She then turned around and went inside. Raven sighed and looked down.
"It's nice to know that you worry about me." someone said. She looked up, and familiar hands gently grabbed her face, pulling her in for a kiss. It was tender, and filled with love and passion. They both pulled back at the same time. His armor was gone, and was wearing his original clothing again.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Back there? I'll tell you all about it."
"This reverse Flash? He has superspeed too?" Raven asked.
"Yeah, but he's not too smart. Or just insane I guess. A sociopath that hates the Flash. His real name is Eobard Thawne or something." he said.
"What kind of name is Eobard Thawne?" she asked with weirded out face.
"A 25th century one. He's from the future." She looked at him with an even more weirded out face. "I know. It's weird future stuff." he said and copied her expression. She laughed and pushed him playfully. "So it's like that huh?" he said laughing. He picked her up and threw her onto his bed. "I think I've found your weakness."
"What is it then?" she asked, smiling with play.
"You're ticklish!" he said and jumped on her. He started to tickle her.
"No! Stop it!" she yelled while laughing loudly. But in the midst of her laughing, he could hear a faint beeping noise.
"Wait. Do you hear that?" he asked. She was still trying to stop laughing.
"Haha, what?" She slightly frowned when she noticed it. The beeping started to intensify. Hades started to search his himself for the source. He felt a slight bump on his chest. He ripped off his shirt, to discover a small mechanism.
"What is that?" she asked nervously. A male voice appeared in his head. "Run" So he did. He ran as fast he could. It wasn't long before he was outside, and the beeping was getting louder.
"Oh fuck." he said to himself.
"I came here as quick as I could, where is it?" a speedy voice said. It was the Flash. "Thank goodness you're here. I think it's a bomb!" Hades was panicking.
"Anyone capable of disarming this thing are miles away from here. Your gonna have to run." Flash said.
"Run? How fast?!" Hades yelled.
"Here." Flash's hand started to crackle with, what seemed like lightning. "I hope this works." He touched Hades' shoulder, and a surge of energy ran through him. "Now go!" he yelled. Hades clenched his fist and began to run. The speedforce was rushing through him, giving him an enormous boost. He kept running and running, over the water and out of the city. He had reached the outskirts of the area, in the wasteland.
"Oh god. I'm so tired." he said quietly. The beeping had almost stopped. "So this is how it ends. Exploding into pieces." Suddenly, it clicked. It was almost as if time had slowed down. He saw someone. It was Raven, and everyone else. Flash was there too. It looked like he was trying to hold her back. She was crying. Screaming for him. "Raven. I'm so, so sorry." he said to her, but she could not hear him. He sank to his knees. Silence filled his soul. Only the faint beeping of the bomb. "NO! I won't let him die!" He could hear her. His face was drenched in tears. 'She won't make it without me.' he thought. A fire started to burn in him.
"I will not let you down!" he yelled. Then, it went off. The explosion could be heard and seen, all throughout Jump City.
