Raven's pov:

"Mum." "Hello darling, you look so big now." "Mum is that really you?" I asked in disbelief. I felt my voice tremble, she has been dead for years and now I'm standing face to face with her. She looked a lot like me, except more beautiful, she looked so angelic it makes me wonder if she always looked like that or it's because she is a spirit. "There's no need to be frightened, it's me." She clarified. "It's been so long. I'm so sorry about-" "Your forgiven. You were only little, now let's not dwell on the past. I wondered if you were ever going to visit me, I knew at some point you will realise how strong you are and your talent for magic and use it to talk with me." "Yes I'm learning more about it every day. I felt a connection between us." "Your right, I felt you too. That jewel on your head, it's sending very powerful waves, is that-"
"It's dad. I trapped him in there a couple years ago. He's been communicating with me and I feel the physical effects of his power trying to escape. It's making me weak, I've blocked him for a while but every day I feel him getting closer to escaping, it won't be long before he does and as much as I've been training, I don't know wether I'll be able to stop him this time."
"I see, you've trapped him in the jewel and because it's on your head you've had to put up with the pain of him fighting to escape every day. Your strong, Raven. Your getting stronger as your growing up, it's up to you to put an end to your father once and for all because your the only one in his way." "I understand what I have to do but I need help, as soon as I found out there was a way I could reach out to you I wanted to see you." "Your father is such a monster, I'm so sorry for the pain he's caused you. I'm glad you came to see me, I think I can help you put an end to his destruction." "What are you suggesting?" "You've managed to visit me in the afterlife. I think we can do so much more with this power you have." "We are in the afterlife?" "Yes, But you knew that death wasn't the end, didn't you? Because of the magic we share we are somewhere no one can find us. I think that if you have the ability to use your magic to see me, then maybe you could actually resurrect me." Resurrection? Is that even possible when her body has been destroyed and she's been dead for a decade? "I know what your thinking, and I'm not certain it will work, but if we try then I can not only get the chance to live again but I can help you defeat your father. If we both use this magic we will be an unstoppable force." I didn't know what to say. I never tried something like this before, I've healed people before but never brought someone back from the dead. I don't know how that would work, she doesn't even have a corpse left, but if it was to work then she could be the key to taking my father down. She's a very powerful woman, and she's experienced in magic. I want her to come back to life so desperately, I miss her so much. We have to try. "Okay, let's try." "Now in order for this to have a chance at working, I need you to use our connection we have through magic. You have the ability to heal but this needs to be a much larger scale, so if you can use all your power to the maximum then let the power become an extension of your body, control it and maybe you can heal me to the point where I can live. Transfer that power to me and this might work, but you need to have a clear mind and focus, this will cause a big strain to your body accessing so much power." "I'm ready." I said before holding her hand and letting the power overtake me. It hurt a lot but I could bear it, I felt the strength of the power starting to heal her, I closed my eyes and everything started to fade away.

when I woke up I was back at the tower. "She's awake!" Garfield exclaimed. "Raven, are you alright?" Damian asked, holding my hand. "I'm fine." I replied. "You blacked out for three hours, Garfield found you unconscious in your room and brought you here." Dick said. I looked around and noticed I was on a hospital bed. This reminded me of when I first felt the dark side of the power I had, I killed Killer Frost and me and Damian were in this room. Wait, where's mum? I panicked, getting worried the plan didn't work. All of a sudden there was a figure at the door, she leaned against the door frame struggling to keep herself up. Everyone turned to look where I was looking. "Who the hell are you?" Connor asked, standing with his fists out in a fighting stance. Damian already had his sword out. Mother stood up straight and pulled her cloak hood down revealing her face. "Everyone, this is my mum, I brought her back from the dead." I said bluntly. Everyone gasped. "Sorry what?" Donna asked. "I don't understand." Jaime said in disbelief. "What's going on? How did you do that?" Kori asked. It's time to tell them everything I've been hiding. I looked at Damian for his approval to explain, he looked shocked and confused but nodded knowing that we had to tell them at some point. But before I could explain, I got up and ran to mum giving her the biggest hug. She was alive! Her skin was warm, I felt her breath, I melted in her arms and I felt safe, I never want to let her go ever again. I felt tears fall from my eyes and I heard her crying too, I felt whole again, in all this darkness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I told them everything, about father going to escape, my magic lessons with Constantine and Zatanna and my successful plan in resurrecting my mother. They were pissed that we didn't tell them earlier, but understood. They were also worried and scared about what's to come, as they should be, none of us are going to be safe.

We decided on keeping mum's existence secret, we don't want father to find out she is now alive, we can use that secret to our advantage. The other Titans were training extra hard, but Kori and Dick decided to meet up with Zatanna and Constantine to talk to them about what's happening so they can inform the Justice League. After all, we are going to need as much help as we can get. Me and mum decided to take the day to rest.

A few hours later...

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water but something felt wrong. I touched the table surface. Someone's been here. I could sense another powerful being's energy, I felt it, someone has been in the tower without us knowing. "YOU FEEL IT, DAUGHTER , THE PRESENCE OF A CREATURE". Father interrupted my thoughts. "I blocked you out!" "THAT FOOLISH SPELL DOES NOT LAST FOREVER, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR STATE, I FEEL YOUR WEAKNESS." "What do you want?" "THINK CAREFULLY, CHILD, WHAT TYPE OF BEING HAS THIS ENERGY?" "An alien, it's weird because it's feels almost like Kori's energy, Wait... it can't be. It's her sister isn't it?" "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?" "What do you mean? Your planning something aren't you? I don't want to be involved in any of your wicked scheming." "LISTEN TO MY PROPOSAL RAVEN, IT WILL BENEFIT BOTH OF US." "Alright, I'll listen to what you have to say, but that doesn't mean I'll believe any bullshit coming out your mouth." "IM GOING TO BE FREE SOON, IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE I KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE INSECTS YOU CALL FRIENDS IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. BUT THAT BOY, THE ONE YOU MOST WANT TO PROTECT, COULD BE SPARED- " "You would never spare him, you told me you want to kill him the most." "I WILL SPARE YOUR CRETINOUS SPOUSE, YOU KNOW I WILL KEEP MY WORD, IF YOU LET ME ELIMINATE THIS ALIEN ONCE I HAVE ESCAPED." "I can't, she's Kori's sister. That would be awful if I let you kill her, I would cause Kori so much pain, I would never betray her, after all she done for me." "THEN YOU WILL WATCH THE BOY DIE THE MOST AGONISING DEATH. IF YOU LET ME KILL THIS ALIEN THEN NOT ONLY WILL YOU HAVE ONE LESS THREAT, BUT I'LL LET THE BOY LIVE." "But why? Why make a deal to spare him if you could just kill the both of them when you are free?" "BECAUSE, I WANT YOU TO FEEL THE REMORSE OF YOUR BETRAYAL FOR THE REST OF YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE. EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT YOUR SPOUSE, YOU WILL REMEMBER THE LOOK IN YOUR FRIEND'S EYES WHEN YOU DECIDED HER SISTER'S DEATH." That's awful, how could I betray Kori like that. She's given so much to me, she's looked after me and gave me a home. But I couldn't bear the pain of Damian dying. I know that father will kill him, this is the only chance I can guarantee his safety. "Why do you want to kill her so badly? What's in it for you?" "ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? I DON'T WANT THAT BITCH IN THE WAY OF MY PLANS. I WANT TO BE THE ONLY ONE YOUR LOOSING ALL YOUR POWER TO." "Sounds a bit immature from you, father." "DON'T WASTE TIME SAYING PATHETIC REMARKS, WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?" I hate this. Getting involved in father's vile plans. Kori doesn't deserve to suffer like this and it will be all my fault. But I can save Damian, he can get a chance to live. "HAVE WE GOT OURSELVES A DEAL?"
I sighed, "yes."
