"The storm seems to be holding," Raven says looking out the window.
"Are we going back to the tower?" Agradd asks, standing by her.
"Not till they let us," Raven says as Agradd eats some of the local food.
Agradd blinks as he picks up a piece before holding it out to her.
"No thanks," Raven says before she notices something. The outline of a shadow approaching before another appears. "Agradd, I think the frost giants are coming," Raven says getting up.
"That's bad, right?" Agradd asks.
"Yes," Raven says before they head for the cell where Adash is.
"Should we do something?" Agradd asks confused.
"They will be wanting Adash," Raven says.
"Oh…I do not know what to feel about her," Agradd tries to explain before asking, "What do we do?"
"Make sure Adash isn't taken away by them," Raven instructs.
"Incoming!" Agradd calls before tackling Raven to the ground as a giant ice spear came at the building they were on.
Raven looks past him and sees the spear stuck in the wall before looking back to Agradd. "Thanks. We have to hurry."
"I sense powerful ice magic," Agradd says and soon the building started to freeze over starting where the spear had crashed through.
Raven frowns before looking back to Agradd. "Um…you can let me up now."
Agradd immediately pulled her up as they quickly started to move away from the spear and building itself before more of them started to rain down on the area.
Raven holds her hand out behind them and swipes away an ice spear. "If we are lucky, we can grab Adash and take her away without them noticing. But we must hurry…think you can keep up?" Raven asks before smiling.
"Ah, Raven…one of the frost giants' memories just gave me some insight in what is happening," Agradd says.
"And that is?" Raven asks, both of them rushing into the building before it froze over and run down the hall.
"They like to soften others up like this, then send in beasts," Agradd says.
"Great. At least we know a bit of the plan. Are you ready for it?" Raven asks, some worry in her voice.
"Ah…Raven?" Jet points out the window as new giant shadows start to appear before out slowly came giant polar bear-like creatures in front of larger creatures.
Raven stops and groans. "Great…we have less time. We need an escape plan," she quickly mutters and the building suddenly shakes when the bears charged and crashed into the building before clawing at it like mad. "Even less."
"This is getting worse, isn't it?" Agradd asks.
Raven nods before grabbing his collar and pulls him down the hall. "We grab Adash and we get out of here. I can make a portal to another area where we can lay low for a bit and then we can go back to the tower."
"That is one of the smaller ones," Agradd says freezing her.
"You're joking," Raven tries to state.
"No, they send raiding parties on the backs of them," Agradd says.
Raven actually growls under her breath. "Okay. I'm going to get us as far away as possible. Buy us time to think," Raven mutters, stopping at the prison door and starts to open it. "I sometimes hate the fact we are stopped at every turn."
"Chill," she hears a familiar voice whisper to her.
Raven tries to swing around and blast her, only to find her lower body already encased in ice.
Raven looks to her frozen half and then looks up to see Adash already walking around and not in cuffs like she should be. Her eyes flick to Agradd as he steps back away from the freezing mage. "Agradd, run!" Raven calls, trying to call her magic to break the ice.
"You really don't remember, do you?" Adash asks.
Agradd kept moving back as Adash follows his movements. "I…"
"I…what?" Adash asks, stepping in closer and leans in.
"I…don't know who…" he tries to remember.
"Stop it!" Raven yells, her demonic side emerging shattering the magical ice.
Adash glares as she turns her head to her. "Freeze…" she whispers.
Raven launches her magic at the freezing wave, making them collide with each other, sending the magic of both sprayings everywhere as they struggle for dominance.
Agradd couldn't do anything as he is pushed into the shaking wall while the building itself is attacked by the frost bears. Watching the two struggle to fight and topple one another at this point. Though he is wondering himself, what does Adash know of him and why is she pushing for him to remember this bad. As for Raven…he couldn't even fathom how far this will go and he knows it will. But…
Raven gives off a demonic growl while struggling to push more magic into the stream until she sees Agradd tackle Adash and makes her magic cancel out while Raven's went to the end of the hall and blow open a hole to show the ice-covered wall. "Agradd! I told you to run!"
"Teleport us now!" Agradd demanded to Adash on the ground and she gives a surprised look before grabbing his shoulder and they blinked out of existence.
Raven looked shocked as her demonic look melts away, falling to her knees. "Agradd…"
"Geez. No need to get so aggressive. Though, I must admit. It is a nice change," Adash says coyly as Agradd was still on top of her.
Agradd frowns a little now, knowing he just left Raven back there. "I want to know now. What do you know about me?"
"Maybe I do," Adash says.
"Not the question I asked. What do you know about me?" Agradd repeats.
Adash chuckles deeply. "Simple. You were supposed to be married to me…" she pauses for a minute as if her mind if trying to get some other pieces together, "and you are an heir to Oberon." She then grins subtlety. "You had many choices for wives, but you were especially fond of me."
Agradd gives her a stone face stare and was really tempted to use his power on her, knowing something different from the memories he got from the ice giant.
Adash gives a slight giggle. "Come on. Doesn't that ring a bell? Now you remember me?"
"No," Agradd says bluntly as he swears he hears some sort of boom.
"Maybe this can help," Adash whispers as she leans up to him and almost kisses him before a sudden crash and dirt landing on them breaks them apart. "What the fuck?!" Adash demand and looks to the interference to see Supergirl in a small crater in the forest clearing.
"Supergirl?" Agradd asks confused before catching onto the fact that Raven must have told her. And he wasn't any closer to the reason what she really knows of him…but an heir to Oberon?
"Oh, great. Another one," Adash says.
Agradd quickly looks to Adash before rolling off of her and blasts her away with a magical blast across the ground. 'Raven will not be happy.'
"Why don't you ch…" Adash tries to start when she is frozen solid by a breath from Supergirl and Agradd sits there wide-eyed and soon his jaw just drops.
Supergirl sighs. "Took a while. Now let's get you two back."
"Are you magic too?" Agradd finally manages.
Supergirl blinks confusedly. "What? No. I can breath ice breath."
"You sure you're not magic?" Agradd asks in disbelief.
"Yes," Supergirl says smiling now as she picks up Adash.
"I…I do not think I will forget today," Agradd says.
Agradd wrings his hands as he stares out the window as he waits. Feeling extreme nervousness from seeing Raven again. More so, he figures that now is not the time to question his past to her.
"Agradd," Raven says walking up to him, her normal expression of none on her face.
"I feel horrid," Agradd moans out.
"It's not getting used to temperature…but you let yourself be teleported away," Raven started as she watches him squirm and still not turn to look at her.
"She also said something that got me thinking and can't really process it with how I feel," Agradd says before nearly throwing up.
Raven sighs. 'Let's not question him right now,' Passion says, becoming worried at how much he is looking sick. 'Besides…he probably needs to figure this out on his own for a bit.'
"Does the name Oberon mean anything to you?" Agradd asks and Raven swears she had a mini-heart attack at that moment.
'Why is he asking us about the king of the fairies?' Knowledge asks as all the emoticlones stare at Agradd now.
Agradd groans as he holds his head and slowly turns to her. "Do you know anything about it? Adash…told me I am an heir of Oberon. Before saying anything, I know for a fact from the memories of the ice giant. That she told them I had no magical talent."
"Alright then. So you think she is lying?" Raven asks.
"Half and half," Agradd informs.
'Should we tell him?' Knowledge asks.
'Eh…' many say.
"You know what…I don't want to know just yet," Agradd says before collapsing on the bench.
Raven slowly shakes her head at that point before lifting him up and carries him with her magic to help, carrying him to a bed to let him find some rest. 'I'm going to kill Adash when I see her again.'
'Good news, he seems still clueless about that,' Knowledge says as they restain Happy and Rage from taking control to hold him as Passion is just enjoying that, for once, it isn't her.
"And then he asks, are you magic too?" Supergirl says to Stargirl as they share a chuckle.
"Okay, that guy needs to get out more. But really? You, magic?" Stargirl asks, still trying to hold her laughter.
"Well, unless you know and he is a magic user so he would assume," Supergirl explains.
Raven sighs as she tunes them out, not wanting to listen to anything for the moment and focus on how to deal with Agradd who would be conflicted in every aspect. And who knows what Adash told or did when she teleported them away. 'Maybe tell him the truth…it's only right,' Passion suggested.
'But what should we tell him exactly? We don't know and for all we know, Adash could have been only lying,' Knowledge says.
'It's something to go on at least,' Passion points out.
'I am more worried at what she implied. This is only the beginning,' Knowledge says before alarms started going off.
"Emergency, we need to ready to deploy to Egypt now," a voice over the intercom says.
Raven sighs and goes to grab Agradd. "Let's hope he's ready for some heat."
"Emergency! Greece, Asia, England, India, and Africa sending distress calls."
"What the heck is going on?" Raven mutters to herself as she rushes to his room now.
'It has only begun, the rest going back to earth,' Knowledge says reminding her what Adash informed.
'Well, that is one truth,' Rude says as Raven reaches the room to see Agradd was laying there, his eyes wide open and shining white.
'Oh, that…is that good magic or some bad shit?' Brave asks.
'Mix?' Knowledge suggested as Raven rushes over and slowly places her hand on his forehead.
"That felt very weird," Raven suddenly says as the emoticlones see Raven now with them in the mindscape and not controlling the body.
'Where's Agradd?' Timid asks worriedly.
'One second,' a voice says before Agradd appears before them.
"Agradd…" Raven tries to start.
'I could not even move,' Agradd informs.
"Agradd…" Raven repeats before sighing and looking down. "Do you really want to know now?"
"Know what?" Agradd asks.
'He is growing wings,' Happy calls.
Raven blinks for a few seconds before seeing something unfold behind him and stops at the sight two large butterfly like wings that are transparent and in different shades of bright colors. "Agradd…" Raven tries to say as Agradd tries to turn his head to look at the wings.
'I have wings?' Agradd asks shocked.
'Yes. He does. Proving he is a fairy,' Knowledge says closing her book.
'I thought fairies were more feminine. Even though they were male,' Brave says.
'Well, this one is a hunk and he's all ours!' Passion cheers.
"What was that now?" Agradd asks.
"Just ignore her," Raven quickly says and gives a small glare at Passion who goggles to the side.
'So you could not…can we check if his body is breathing and has a pulse?' Shy asks concerned.
Raven instantly became concerned and pulls herself out of the mindscape before looking to Agradd's unmoving body before touching his neck. 'He has one…thank goodness,' Knowledge sighs in relief before checking if he was breathing and he only breathed every few minutes.
'Seems his body is in a meditative state,' Brave says proudly before looking to Agradd who is still looking over and touching his wings before rushing over and hugging him. 'My turn!'
'Wait, if Argadd is having this and we can all feel is magical power increasing, what about Adash?' Knowledge asks.
They stop and slowly it comes to mind. "Her power must be increasing as well," Raven concluded.
'With her and the emergencies, can the league even handle everything as some are still fighting the ice giants?' Brave points out.
'I doubt it. Not without a full mage army behind them. What are we going to do?' Knowledge poses.
'So what do we do?' Agradd asks.
"We're thinking," Raven says, growing worried by the second.
"You think they can contain her?" Agradd asks.
"No. That's the problem," Raven sighs and closes her eyes as she tries to understand the solution.
"…Raven, let's use me," Agradd says.
"What?!" all the Ravens yell at him.
"I can possess people, even frost giants. If I can use it on her, then the league can contain her," Agradd says.
"And if the frost giants get you?" Rage poses. "Especially if they figure out your powers?"
"I can restrain her before she causes too much damage," Agradd reassures.
'It's our best chance,' Knowledge points out after a while.
'So you just need to touch her,' Brave says slowly.
Agradd nods slowly before looking to Raven and sees her looking conflicted.
'And currently in our body. So we need to touch her,' Shy says.
'So it can be any touch?' Brave asks.
"Yes," Agradd replies before seeing Raven frowning heavily to the side.
'So we can punch her?' Brave asks smirking.
'I am all for this,' Rage says.
"That can also work," Agradd confirms and hears Raven sigh behind her hood.
'Oh, we getting protective now?' Passion asks joining in.
"Quiet," Raven mutters.
"Where was she being held again?" Agradd asks.
"Prison cell. Basen't three level," Raven answers as she walks up to him. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Well…can you not feel her magic?" Agradd asks.
Raven shakes her head with the rest of the emoticons.
Agradd gains a confused look on his face before scratching his head a little. "I have to lead with little alarm."
'Speaking of alarms, isn't there one going on right now?' Rage questions and makes them all realize the present danger. 'Might want to get moving.'
"She is coming this way," Agradd says.
"Same way then…are you sure you're ready? You may not like what she knows about you," Raven asks, looking to Agradd.
"We will see," Agradd says.
'He will be fine,' Rage reassures as they then seem to see outside of the mindscape from their own eyes now in Raven's body. 'Lead Agradd. We will intervene if your body is in danger.'
"My body? My body…I can't move right now," Argadd says.
"Stay calm," Raven quickly says and looks to his body still on the bed. "You have mine. Trick her. Make it seem like you are the weak one at the moment and use your powers on her through me. Let us worry about protecting your body," Raven says softly as they hear the ice cracking outside and see their breath in a low temperature. "You can do this Agradd."
"Knowledge, help please," Argadd says showing her the memories he had on ice magic in the form of a book.
Knowledge quickly takes it and looks through it as quick as she can before closing it. 'I have an idea to keep her busy long enough to get a touch in. Listen closely…'
"Knock, knock," Adash calls through the door softly before it freezes over and then shatters into pieces. "Weak defenses," she mutters, walking inside as torrents were still iced over in the hallway. "Agradd…I have come to collect you," Adash calls before spying him in the bed, seemingly asleep while Raven stood over him and facing away from her. "You."
Agradd breathes out carefully as he turns and faces Adash, looking at her stance and how it is at the moment.
Adash hums before shrugging. "No matter. You are just in my way," she boasts before holding her hand out as it becomes covered in ice. "Alta frigidus," she speaks and Raven's feet start to quickly be covered in ice before it rides all the way to the top of her head.
Adash chuckles happily before walking over to Agradd. "Too easy," she mutters as she takes one step before the ice cracks all over and then shatters, leaving Adash heavily disappointed. "Hard way then. Glacies ardeat," she calls and points at Raven before a white-hot little stream of fire went flying at Raven before she holds up her hand back.
"Mutatio," Raven mutters and the air in front of her hand shimmers, leaving behind a floating ball that takes all the fire inside as Adash growls in anger.
'She will open up by freezing us. That was the original plan when we faced her before,' Knowledge lectures as the others listen in. 'She would then try and use one of her most powerful attacks. I've come up with a counter for each. We just need to hope it will work.'
"If?" Raven presses.
"Constructione glacies!" Adash calls as she forms an ice sword in her other hand before trying to stab at Raven from up high.
'Yes. If. Because we are working with limited knowledge to the full extent of her powers. Besides, the main plan is to the get close. The only way is to make her use an ice construct and make it a hand weapon. But she could quickly turn that,' Knowledge advises as she looks up to Agradd who is following her every word.
Raven quickly homes up her other hand, ready to fire off a spell to melt the sword when, "Spicis aqua!" Adash suddenly calls.
Raven gasps as the sword melt to sharp water spikes that embed into her side and hand before melting away from their forms and down her body. Raven groans as her concentration broke, quickly dodging to the side from the stream of fire that burned a hole in her cloak upon passing it before taking a quick look.
'That's the ones I don't have a counter for. So you would have to make it up on the fly, but the main thing is, if you can at least touch her skin, then you can use your powers to the fullest, making sure she is knocked out,' Knowledge finishes.
"Her body is covered in clothing though. I will not be able to grab her," Agradd shot back, now trying to think of how to deal with that.
"You don't," Raven speaks up now and almost hates the only place he can touch her skin.
Raven eyes Adash's face, watching her expression change from anger to glee before she holds out both hands at her. "Aqua tenaci." Streams of water flow in from the ice-covered areas before gripping Raven's legs. Raven suddenly trips forward before grabbing her hands and reaching up to her face. Adash quickly jerks back from the possible attack though and prepares for another spell. "Glacies…"
"You may need to improvise for it. A simple spell, but good enough," Raven sighs as she now looks worried at Agradd who holds the same look on his face.
"Veni propius!" Raven calls out quicker and Adash feels her head actually being jerked forward into Raven's hand, a sudden shock ravaging her brain and making her cry out in pain while all the spells fall around them into a puddle of water or freezing over. Raven, her real soul self, felt Agradd leave her mind and enter Adash before they both collapse to the ground, exhausted. Raven pants heavily before picking herself up and prepares another spell, just in case before Adash's body jerks and then slowly struggles to pick herself up. "Agradd…if that is you, stop."
Adash stops moving before slowly turning her head and looks up to her. "Raven…she lied…on some parts…but some of it is also true."
Raven stops her magic flow and reaches down before picking Adash's body up and places her in a chair. "I'm calling the others. See if we can get better restraints," she says, getting her communicator.
"Wings feel so weird," Agradd says.
Raven slowly places a hand on her head and makes her look at her in the eye. "Don't worry about that. Besides, I would think you would want to see what she really knows. Go ahead and see. We can discuss after this, okay?"
"She is still conscious at what we are doing," Agradd says.
"I know that. And this will be over soon…I hope," Raven sighs as she finally gets through and steps away for a bit to talk.
'Wha…what did you do…this is not normal magic,' Adash accused.
"We are still figuring it out," Agradd says in her voice.
Raven looks at him when she heard that before figuring out who he is talking to and returns to her own conversation. 'But…this can't be magic…it just can't…' Adash tries to figure out.
"Also, can look through your mem…wow…you thought Raven looked hot when you got a good look at her?" Agradd asks.
Raven blinks and slowly turns her head to look at them.
'Hey! Stay out!' Adash yells.
"Repeat that Agradd," Raven says.
"She thought you were hot when she first saw you," Agradd repeats, now looking Raven over himself and has to agree with his own mindset.
'…we agree?' Adash asks.
"I…have to agree…especially since you keep mentioning the outfit she is wearing," Agradd says, his eyes still traveling over Raven.
'I don't know whether to feel angry or delighted he thinks we are hot,' Rage mutters to the side but also muttering about punching Adash in the face when this is over.
'This raises the question, would all of the fairies have found us attractive?' Passion asks, a bit taken aback.
'I don't care. As long as he is the one saying that. Any other, Rage can take over,' Happy says and nods her head at Rage.
'Are we all conflicted by this?' Brave asks.
"Yes," Raven says simply before slowly pointing at Agradd. "Later, we will discuss this."
"With which one of us?" Agradd asks
Raven kept pointing. "Agradd. You will be talked about this…and a bit of the future," she says quietly in the end.
"Alright and…she knows what is going on. Those of what humans thought of as mythology is starting to come back," Agradd says.
Raven nods slowly. "And that's one of the big problems we have."
"We have some relationship to some of them…Raven, while they handle her, we should go to the United Kingdom. I think we can handle that area alone," Agradd informs.
Raven finally closes the communicator and looks at him fully. "Are you sure?"
"If her memories and what she knows is correct, but I can't get any more out of her. I think she has already found a way to block me from looking any deeper," Agradd informs.
Raven stares at him before sighing. "Okay. We'll do it."
"Then let us get ready and leave," Agradd says, grabbing her hand and leading her away.
"In that body?" Raven asks stopping him.
"Oh, right…" Agradd says a bit embarrassed, having forgotten he was in Adash's body. "You want me to leave this body right now?"
"After we secure her," Raven says before leading 'him' to the containment cells and explaining what happened and why 'Adash' was now so docile.
"Give me a second," Agradd requests as he closes his eyes and concentrates while Raven keeps cuffing Adash's body.
