Cyborg: Happy... timid... brave. 

Pink Raven points at Beast Boy; he gets up.

Pink Raven: You forgot dopey.

She laughs, but Cyborg is thinking very hard and starting to figure a few things out.

Cyborg: Different sides of Raven's personality. 

y/n: We're not in Raven's home. 

Beast Boy: We're in her head. 

Raven: And I want you out.

The blue-cloaked girl drops into view in front of her three duplicates, who fade away.

Raven: The mirror you found is for meditation. It's a portal into my MIND- NOT A TOY!

The last four words are aimed at Beast Boy and spoken through gritted teeth. A big drop of sweat rolls down his face. Pull back to the treetops; the ravens are still watching.

Beast Boy: My bad.

The birds fly away in a great commotion of squawking and flapping wings.

Raven: You have to go- now. 

Cyborg: Hold up. What's going on here? 

Raven: Last night, something...bgot loose. Something bad. 

Beast Boy: Oh, no, you don't! I've had it with this mystery-girl routine. I want to know exactly what we're talking about here.

There is an unholy roaring from a gargantuan black vortex that has formed over the horizon; the ravens are flying into it. Gradually this retreats from the top down to expose a super-king-sized humanoid male with red skin, flowing white hair, and four glowing yellow eyes. He is clad in a black and gray loincloth, steel wristbands, and a belt similar to the one Raven wears, as well as a jewel on his forehead. The belt is silver, set with black stones, and a matching piece is set at the throat to match her brooch. There are short, curved black stripes on the arms and chest. This is Raven's father, the demon Trigon.

y/n: Well... DOES ANYBODY WANT TO TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT?!

Trigon: Hatred shall rule.

His voice is the same as the one overlaid with Raven's when she snared Dr. Light at the beginning of the arc. Tilt down to the horizon; he also wears shin guards to match his wristbands. Raven and the boys stare up at his sheer size- most of them.

Raven: Let's just say I have issues with my father.

Cut to Trigon, who moves steadily ahead and leans down with a roar, giving the camera an extreme close-up of his face. The four Titans standing before Trigon. Tilt up to his head, he roars, throwing a scare into all of them. Beast Boy and Cyborg turn to run, Cyborg yanking y/n along.

y/n: What are we running from?

Cyborg: Would you just run?!

 Raven holds her ground. A quadruple blast from those glowing eyes hits the ground just in front of her, forcing her to jump clear. Those enormous feet stomp down the path after Cyborg, y/n and Beast Boy, who are making a beeline for a portal set into the base of a rock formation-the Forbidden Door. A beam hits just in front of them and brings that plan to a very abrupt halt. Raven drops into view facing Trigon.

Raven: Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

She creates a shield around herself, the boys, and the Door; daddy not-so-dearest unleashes another blast that cuts a long furrow in the stone as it races toward her. So much rock and dust is thrown up that we cannot see whether her barrier is holding. The screen fills with static-Robin is changing channels again. Stop briefly on a tropical waterfall, then flip to a man and a woman about to kiss, then cut to him on the couch, remote in hand. Starfire pops up behind him.
