Chapter 4

Heroes vs. Family

Garfield was rather surprised to hear that this Nuclear Family wanted to bring Raven to her father. Raven had previously claimed that her parents were dead, but could it be possible that she didn't know the truth? Wanting to make sure first, he told the Nuclear Family to wait. When he turned around, he saw Raven standing behind him with a look of horror on her face.

"Rachael? What's the matter?" Garfield asked her.

Clasping her hands together, Raven begged him desperately, "No! Please! Don't tell them I'm here! I don't want to see my father! Anything but him! Please! Don't give me back to him!"

Those in the room were surprised at how terrified she was about meeting her father. Even Garfield had never seen her this terrified before. Confused but respecting her decision, Garfield went back to the screen and said, "Sorry, she moved out some days ago. You won't be finding her here anymore."

"Oh, that's too bad... How are we going to tell the person who sent us?" said Dad.

"What if she is simply shy and didn't want to see us?" said Biff.

"You may be onto something there, Biff!" Mom said to him.

"Will you let us in there and have a look?" Dad said to Garfield. "We need to have something solid we can tell our boss, so please let us in and see if we can find anything first."

"I'm telling you that she doesn't live here anymore," Garfield told him. "Please leave, because you are trespassing private property if you don't!"

"All right, we'll just invite ourselves in!" said Dad as he did something unexpected. He punched the entrance door so hard that it shattered, thus allowing the whole family to go in.

Needless to say, this shocked Garfield, making him realize that they aren't normal people.

"What happened?" asked Tenya as Garfield scrambled to activate security measures to keep the family from coming in any further.

Garfield turned to Raven and asked her, "Do you know who those people are?"

"I don't know! Whoever they are, they want to take me to their father! I don't want to see my father!" she replied, almost on the verge of tears.

"What's wrong with your father? Why don't you want to see him?" Momo asked her.

"Is he abusive towards you?" asked Ochako.

"If you don't explain to us anything, then we will not know what is going on!" Fumikage told her.

"Rachael, what exactly is going on with your family?" Garfield asked her. "Tell us, and we can help you!"

"My... My father is a demon... He disguised himself as a human to marry my mother, and when I was older, he revealed his true form and killed her..." explained Raven. "He wanted to rule over this world and make use of my power to strengthen him! I used my powers to seal him away inside a crystal before hiding it somewhere nobody is supposed to find!"

"When you said demon, you mean a literal monster of darkness and from hell?" Fumikage asked her.

"Yes, a powerful demon lord from the realm of Azareth," replied Raven.

The students were shocked to hear this. They did not expect a literal demon to exist in this world, but then, if Greek deities and magic exist, then the existence of demons shouldn't be that bizarre.

"And those people are here to take you to see him?" Tenya asked her.

"Yes, so I assume they are from a cult that worships him," said Raven. "Only I have the power to undo the seal on Trigon and set him free again."

"Then we won't let her get you no matter what! We'll protect you no matter the cost!" Garfield told her.

They then rushed to the computer room to see what the Nuclear Family was doing, and they saw that they were taking the stairs up, as the elevator had been shut down after the security measures were activated. Rather than looking tired, the family was singing happily as they walked up step by step.

Garfield pressed a button that caused the stairs to turn into a slide, making them slide down. "Let's see you come up now!" he said with a smirk.

However, the family simply laughed and commented on how fun the slide was, and then they pulled off an unexpected move of floating into the air to continue upwards. "They can fly?!" asked Ochako in shock.

"Clearly they have powers!" said Tenya.

"Fine! If they want a fight, let's give them one!" said Garfield.

"Don't worry; we won't let them take you away!" Ochako told Raven, placing her hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

After putting Rachael in her room, the other heroes took their positions in front of the door that the Nuclear Family would come in from. They waited for about a minute or two, and then the door opened, the entire family coming in. "Don't mind if we drop by!" said Dad while waving at them. "We just want to take Rachael to her father. I'm sure he misses her so much!"

"We know about her father, and we're not taking her anywhere!" said Beast Boy as he turned into a wolf and growled at them.

"Rachael is our friend, and if he does not want to see her demon father, then we will not let her, lest her be hurt by him again!" Tenya told them.

"Don't worry; her father is a very nice person! He just wants to give her a hug and a kiss!" Mom told them.

"As if we're going to believe you!" Momo said to them with a staff in her hands.

"Perhaps we should get to know each other better," said Dad as he stepped forward. "Why don't we...?" Before he could finish speaking, Beast Boy lunged at him in his wolf form. However, Dad was able to grab hold of Beast Boy and maintain his footing. "Wow! You really are enthusiastic to give me a hug, huh?" His hands began heating up, burning Beast Boy, who cried in pain, and then Dad flung him away.

Fumikage unleashed Dark Shadow at Biff, who said in excitement, "Wow! Is that your pet? I want one as well!" He then punched Dark Shadow hard when it came close, knocking it away and sending it back into Fumikage's body. Biff pointed his hands at Fumikage and released a blast of hot wind, blowing him back.

Momo took out a bazooka from underneath her shirt and took aim at Sis before firing a net at her. The net caught Sis, but she tore it apart with her bare hands with no effort before releasing a blast of hot wind from her hand at Momo, just like Biff, blowing her away.

Ochako lighted a sofa and hurled it at Mom, deactivating her Quirk when it was close to touching Mom so that the latter got hit by it hard. However, Mom got back up as if she was unharmed and even lifted the sofa over herself with no effort. "Nice sofa! Where'd you buy it?" she then threw the sofa at Ochako, who jumped out of its way.

Tenya rushed at Brat and pinned him to the wall by his shoulders. "Kid! You're still young, so you shouldn't engage in acts of villainy!" Tenya lectured him. "Do not be..." But Brat interrupted him by headbutting him in the body before grabbing and flinging him across the room hard. Tenya fell to the floor and said in pain, "He's... strong...!" Dog then pounced at him and bit his arm hard. "YEOW!"

Meanwhile, Raven was in her room, and she was worried and also scared as she heard the fight going on outside. "I... I can't just sit here!" she told herself. "They're fighting for my sake, so... I should go out there and help them!"

Back outside, the young heroes were having a tough time dealing with the Nuclear Family, something they did not expect.

"They're tougher than they look!" said Tenya.

"Yeah... And their constantly cheerful-looking faces gives me the creeps..." said Beast Boy.

"I think we've played long enough, so we should end things now," said Dad.

"Awwwww... I wanna keep on playing!" complained Brat, jumping up and down.

"Then we can let you have play one more game! You know what game to play!" Mom told him.

As if understanding what she said, Brat shouted with joy, and then his entire body began glowing. Seeing this, the heroes were surprised. "What's happening to him?!" asked Momo.

And then a shockwave was released from Brat's body, sending everything in the room except for his family flying. The building shook a bit, and there was the sound of explosion as well. Raven obviously heard what happened from where she is, and she was shocked.

When the shockwave died down, the room was complete mess, with pieces of furniture lying all over the place. Even the windows were shattered. The heroes were all lying on the ground with burnt marks all over their bodies and were also unconscious.

The family members, on the other hand, looked completely unharmed. "Wow! That was one great last game!" Mom said to Brat while clapping his hands.

"Way to go, Brat! You sure know how to have the best kind of fun!" Sis said to her younger brother. Dog barked and wagged his tail happily.

"All right, let's go look for Raven!" said Dad.

Raven could hear footsteps approaching her room, which made her nervous. She didn't know what happened to her friends, but she could at least that they must've lost the fight. She moved to the back of her room when the door opened, and Dad came in. "There you are, Raven!" he cheerfully said to her. "Your father..."

"I'M NOT GOING BACK TO HIM!" she shouted loudly as her eyes turned red while dark energy came out from her. She then fired a blast of dark energy that struck Dad hard, blasting him backwards onto the floor.

Raven approached the doorway and looked at the fallen Dad, and to her surprise, there was a hole on his body that displayed wires and mechanical parts inside. Before she could react any further, Mom suddenly appeared next to her and stabbed her in the neck with a syringe. Raven cried in pain and tried to fight back, but a feeling a numbness and also dizziness came over her, preventing her from using her powers properly. Despite trying to resist the effects of what was obviously a sleeping drug injected into her, Raven ultimately passed out.

"Sleep tight! I wish a good rest!" said Mom as she picked up Raven in a manner similar to a mother carrying a young child.

The children were looking at the fallen and short-circuiting Dad, and Biff said, "Dad is hurt. We should take him to the doctor fast!" Despite saying that, he was still smiling. In fact, they were all still smiling, even the motionless Dad.

"Yeah! The doctor will patch Dad up real fast!" said Sis.

"Right, so let us take him back to the car! Let's go back to the person who sent us and tell him we found Raven!" said Mom. "Her father will be happy to finally reunite with her!"

"Mom, I just remember something! The person who sent us also told us to bring along a friend of hers," Sis reminded her.

"You're right! I almost forgot!" said Mom. "All right, go and pick whoever you want!"

Several minutes later, the hero who went to fight the Royal Flush Gang finally returned to the Titans Tower, and needless to say, they were shocked at the mess inside and seeing their friends passed out all over the place. "What happened here?!" asked Eijiro in shock.

Nightwing noticed Beast Boy slowly getting back up and thus went to him. "Garfield! Are you all right?"

"I need headache pills..." said the latter.

"What happened?" Nightwing asked him.

Some minutes later, everyone was back on his or her feet. Despite their injuries, they were in no serious condition and therefore only needed light medication. The heroes who just returned learned everything from the ones who fought the Nuclear Family, and they were shocked to learn that Raven and Ochako had both been abducted. Izuku was the most shocked to learn that the latter was abducted as well.

"They clearly came for Raven, but why did they take Ochako as well?" wondered Nightwing.

"I don't care! Those people have done it! We're going to rescue our classmate and beat the crap out of them!" said Katsuki in anger.

"Right! We have to rescue Uraraka at all cost!" said Izuku.

"Trigon... I heard of that name before..." said Starfire. "Like Raven said, it's the name of a powerful demon lord that left trails of destruction to wherever realm he goes. Supposedly, he would create offspring with several women in order to produce children who will aid him in universal domination..."

"That's frightening!" said Momo in horror.

"A demon lord... A conqueror with unquenchable thirst for power... I fear what that the worst will happen if we do not do anything about him, if it is even possible!" said Fumikage.

"Fortunately, I placed a tracker on Raven all this time, so we can easily locate her," said Robin.

"You placed what?!" Blue Beetle asked him.

"She doesn't have a phone with her, so how else are we going to find her?" Robin said to him. "She has kept her past a complete secret from us, and that alone raises a lot of suspicions, which is why I put a tracker on her so that I can follow her and find out her secrets."

"You really take after your father, so I can't blame you..." said Nightwing.

"Is Batman a very cautious person as well?" asked Shouto.

"He's the kind of person who would go to a birthday party wearing his hero suit and bring all his weapons and gadgets, just to be safe..." replied Nightwing.

When Raven woke up, she found herself in a relatively dark room, bounded to a chair by steel cuffs. She tried to use her powers to escape, but was unable to conjure anything. Noticing a metal cuff around her neck, she thought, "Must be a power dampener... Didn't know it also works on magic users..."

Someone then entered the room. It was a middle-aged man with balding hair dressed in a white lab coat. "Hello there, Rachael!" the man said to her in a kind tone.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?!" she angrily said to her.

"Don't be so angry! I know we didn't get to meet each other under the best circumstances, and I do apologize that the family was a bit too tough," the man told her. "You may call me Doctor Adamson. As the Nuclear Family had told you, they have brought you here to see your father."

"I will not meet my father Trigon!" Raven angrily said to him.

"Don't say that! I had a conversation with your father, and he misses you so much!" Dr. Adamson told her. "Why don't you speak with him yourself?" He then turned Raven's chair around, and the sight before her shocked her.

It was red crystal the size about the size of a person hovering a few centimeters above the floor. When one looks closely at the crystal, a demonic-looking silhouette with yellow glowing eyes could be seen.

"Raven...!" a monstrous, echoing voice spoke from with the crystal.

"Fa... Father...!" said Raven while trembling in terror.

"We meet again...!" said the voice. "How bold of you to trap me in here! Did you really think you can get rid of me like this and sever your connection with me forever? You are my daughter! Wherever you go, you will never be able to escape from me!"

Raven turned to look at Dr. Adamson in anger and asked him, "Where did you get this?! Why did you bring it here?!"

"Admittedly, it took a lot of effort to finally find him!" Dr. Adamson told her. "Fortunately, our occultists and magicians are good at what they are doing, so we were finally able to find your father! Your father is a great person! He is the one who is going to purify this world and return it to a better state!"

"You're insane! My father is a monster who will destroy everything!" Raven told him.

"What you call destruction is his method of ridding this world of all that is unnecessary and impure! A world under his rule is one worthy of celebration and living in!" Dr. Adamson told her.

"You're insane! Whatever he promised you is false! All those who worshipped him in the past died because he killed them! You are signing your death warrant by obeying him!" Raven told him.

"Even if we die, it will be an honor!" said Dr. Adamson. By now, Raven could tell by looking at his eyes that he was a lost cause. "Only you have the power to release your father, which is why I brought you here."

"You're a fool if you think I will listen to you!" Raven told her.

"You will eventually! I know you will!" Dr. Adamson told her. "I will give you some time to consider. One way or the other, you will want to release your father. In the meantime, I hope the two of you have a fun time chatting with each other!" He then left the room, leaving Raven alone with the crystal containing Trigon.

"It's useless, daughter! You should rule together with the me the entire world! Get rid of the weakness that is your human side, and we will become unstoppable!" Trigon told her.

Glaring at him with eyes full of spite, she said, "I... won't!"

Meanwhile, Ochako found herself in a small empty room. She was in nervous and also in panic, as she found herself unable to use her Quirk. She noticed when she woke up a metal collar around her neck. At first, she didn't realize what the point of that was, but after trying multiple times to use her Quirk and failing, she began to wonder if this collar had anything to do with it, because upon closer inspection, there was a green flashing light on it, as if the collar was computerized.

"Where is this place? I have to find a way out of here fast! I wonder if the others are all right..." she wondered.

TO BE CONTINUED

I based the Nuclear Family on the comic version, where they are robots. However, I decided not to make their powers actually nuclear-related, as I thought that it would be too overpowered and also dangerous due to how radiation can ruin one's body and make things complicated. Even with this change made, I still think it's quite close to how they are in the comics. Considering that comic characters constantly get changed in different medias, I think this should be no big deal.

Dr. Adamson is from Titans. As I said before, this remake's retelling of Raven's story arc would be based on the first season of that show.
