Chapter 14: Breaker Breaker – Can You Hear Me?
It's going to run dark so get ready for the threat.
~ The gem was born of evil's fire, the gem shall be his portal… he comes to claim, he comes to sire, the end of all things mortal… ~ So, it will get pseudo -incest as a twist and will end up going into R if we see any issues. Lemme know, and Raven is no damsel! You'll see later.

Robin was alive. Weak, but more than her. He wasn't like Slade at all. Skin, hair. Eyes. All of it intact definitively as she smiled at him over her also, now matted scalp. It was her turn to bathe and if any, she wanted Robin to get the first wash of the week. Clark had located a cut off from society spicket; a well that they could take buckets from as long as they were quick about it. The rest was a big drum and heat from Clark's eyes to eradicate any pathogens, and in the soaked for much longer.
The heroes had no issues, minus Bruce trying to ignore that he would be in that water quicker than you could count up the whole parts of Billy Numerous. He saw the boy speak to Raven and nod to him, but to Slade he said not a word. He was still mad that Slade had let them go, that any of Raven's pain was his fault. John checked over at the sky, summoning all of his wit to not want to leave them here in the desert. Raven was…. hope, and he wouldn't let Slade and the others simply walk without a moral reason to. She was not the cause, but a catalyst to disaster with her birth and blood. He knew at the moment the wrong hand pulled him back in, it was being cut clear off.
Raven was still a half demon spawn, even if he pitied her for her upbringing a slight.
Robin took to removing his mask and placing it back as she forced it back over his eyes. He didn't seem to care, which worried not only John but Bruce. That time later. Lex was to himself and pacing the floor on patrol. The creatures dabbled in his mind. Vixen couldn't smell those demons out and John might as well have something he wanted.
The worm, wanted a bigger chance to start an earlier alignment. ~ The stars are off course. It is time yet the master tests us! You must make it so…. kill the girl's light, bring her before the god and set us free! ~
IT just went on that way, wearing him down until more mood swings and attitude adjustments had Vixen worry and head to Clark who more so didn't want to pity the enemy while they had been among friends. "He's losing it, Supes." She whispered as Lex stayed outside and patrolled the wall. "Are you gonna go talk to him?"
"It won't do any good. I've tried in the past, but Lex…I think he's infected by something –
"What? TELL him he's –
"I can't." Superman lowered his head. "If I go as far as to say he's being consumed by a parasite…" (the truth is all that Clark sees via his vision is a worm inside of the man, but it's really a demon that Lex has been in contact with.)
"It's that bad, huh." Vixen hugged her knees to her chest beside the big softy. "I know, you guys never respect each other as much as you hate. Haters gonna, but you're not like that. You even cured his –
"His cancer went into remission." Admitted Clark. "We're doing all we can since the Kryptonite he stared caused all of his hate for me to transform –
"Like this place is doing to him, maybe?"
"I, don't know." Clark ran his hand through his scalp and leaned into his arms. "We can only put all of our trust in John and Slade having Raven ready to face Trigon. He'll come, and we can't assume Lex will still be on our side if that ever happens. Seeing a demon, it could drive someone insane…"
"Like it almost did to B?"
"Yes, and to Robin."

Robin didn't tell them how he'd seen the future she feared and what that meant as he woke to walk out and find his enemies too close together. John AND Slade were patrolling the plot, while Bruce was waiting for his turn beside a sleeping Raven. "Oh, up tonight with us, lad?"
"He's not supposed to be outside, yet." Slade squinted from a space away. "You don't look so good –
"I feel pretty crappy, thanks." Dick deadpanned.
"It spoke to me." Slade blinked. "You had something else that you wanted to say. Say it."
"Stay. Away from us, from now on." Dick snarled up at the brute in a murderous rasp. "I NEVER said you should help or come back; what prompted you to think that you'd get away with –
"I saved her life. She ruined yours." Slade said.
"Easy, men, We have all night to squabble." John put up his palms in defense. A fight would alert demons to come hither. He had no manna to promise a close tie if that did occur. "What is it you feed off of now? Her hope? Her suffering? You're not the real one. He died, just like I almost did."
"But, here you are. And, this is only a part of myself until time turns in reverse."
"She can't do it. It'll kill her." Dick blubbered out. "Raven, let her try to do like before. Become her real self and if Trigon shows, I won't leave her side again. After this fight is over, I NEVER want you near her or my family."
"Aww, I feel honored to gain the title." John wiped a fake tear as Dick gave him also a scathing glance. "You, are worse than Bruce at this point. You were from another time and almost left us for dead. Where is the real Constantine? Can you locate him?? Can you try and work harder to fix this??"
"Hey, hold on! I sensed danger, and no Lad. I have no bloody idea where my counter – part in this reality actually is or exists – if he got off scott free. I just wanted to keep an eye on Deathstroke before he turns his back on society and your lov over there. Next to the bat. She gets it –
"She GETS that she can trust you all now, but no one came to our aid. No one knew about Trigon or what he was going to do if –
"Dick." Slade stopped the wide-eyed kid as he growled, stomping a foot and letting them know it. "You both took advantage of my teammate, and I don't want either of you to forget what you promised to her. You said she'd save us, well? How many days do we have left?"
"Ten." Slade didn't even look at the sky as the numbers came to him. "Ten days remain until the king returns to sire…"
"Sire….what?"
"He is looking forwards to gaining Raven, as his bride. She'll fight it, she has no choice."
"Wh – why didn't you say that earlier??" John brought out his hands. "That chances things, Death. I'm not standing by. She's a minor and he –
"Isn't human, John."
"I bloody know that!"
"Raven…she has no clue? I have to –
Slade moved as John feared pinning the man would set off some type of distress call the more shadows in plain hibernation. Slade threw a messy palm over the boy's mouth and found a pressure point as John watched the kid go down. "I'll tell you, but only if you drop the incantations."
"He comes to sire…..what do you fucking mean by that, now? When you said you'd rather BE dead?"
"Raven, is a gem. A prize." Slade slipped out slowly as the boy was placed onto the ground. "Trigon wants her, because her soul governs this world. To further corrupt her, is to take this earth for demons to own, turning it into an extension of his universe of fire and brimstone. He is an all seeing god like creature and Raven is a power that he wants inside of him. Whatever was left of her last shell, that was only a feint. A conquest that failed, while he now knows it. If to sire is to be bred, he should do as her mother and never let the catalyst forget. How much it fought to get away." Slade turned fully to John as he hid his eye's true feeling, his remorse for a girl barely of age to be wed.
"WE aren't teaching her to come to full power for this world, we are teaching her to fight tooth and nail with a demon bent on birthing more agony with her ability to give him what he wants."
"Dear gods….you…..you let that all happen –
"I had no clue up until I recited the prophecy. He would have worn her down, brought her up once he found her as soon as the world was his, and then he'd have done it. Sent the new baby of his loins to some universe to spread and infect like an incurable disease."
"You….have to start harder then, teach her to goddamn kill just like you did to those teenagers! I can't believe it….you….you can't be saved."
"When this time is done, this part of me will forever remain ready to burn."
"It damn well should have, when you sold your blood arse to a demon rapist." Sneered the magi. "I should tell you, you aren't the first to pull that one liner. Astra. A girl I took for grsnted and her father, who used her for his ritual to a demon god of an alternate Sumerian Underworld…I let her be taken to his realm by how nobbish I was then. Now, you're that same face I see. The man who gave a life to make his own worthwhile. How….can I fucking even look you in the eye now, mate? I know about Markov. In my time, you slept with her."
" What??" (DC universe Terra since this is tt03 they are in.)
Slade swung around as John didn't quit it then. "You have a lovely girl, Rose. She fawns over you because you swell drove her plum - mad, plucked out her eye just to be you! You don't have it in you to do nice for that child, not in any universe so if we blow it all skull high, mate? Then sorry, I'm gone. I'll even take Robin and the bat clan's remaining corpses with me…if he wants to listen. The kid has a heavy head to hate you anyway –
"Stay out of that –
"I heard it, in dreams I saw a fucking vision. Just the boy's energy and Bruce's were enough to show how you deliberately tampered with ANOTHER young mind, how you trampled it like some bad joke. Are you happy now, bloke? Should I award you a gold star for all of your efforts in bringing the lowest of the low down with ya? Corrupting young minds into a bloody nut house!?" John huffed, getting enough out of his smokes as he pocketed his hands and walked off.
"You won't tell them?"
The half – baked Slade hissed as Johnny paused to answer, "I won't ave' to. You already did that yourself." He switched his eye to Robin and scooped up the worn out protégé. "Get some sleep, or just drop dead, ghoulie."
