One year later
Adrien and Billy fell in a comfortable routine. They would wake up, chat a little, then Billy would start eating his food while Adrien filled the silence with theories about the new spells he learned. Billy would leave for Justice League meetings and Adrien would continue studying his book of spells. He yet had to open the Necronomicon, he was a bit afraid of what secrets he would uncover there.
After weeks of constant studying and spell-casting practice, Adrien was getting bored. He mastered almost every single spell in the book and he already started reading a few magical theories from Necronomicon. With nothing to do the whole day and with Billy gone, Adrien decided to go out for fresh air. Plus he soon would need to feed too. Doing something productive sounded like a good idea, he and Billy started out-growing their old clothes, so he decided to go and look for them on the streets. If he found the right materials or old worn clothes he could work his magic on them and make them look brand new.
After searching through several dumpsters and coming up with nothing valuable Adrien was starting to get frustrated, but as if someone answered his prayers, he found an old leather jacket, moth-eaten shirt, torn jeans and sneakers with few holes in them. He could work with them, Adrien decided. With a simple wave of his hand, black smoke enveloped the items and sent them home. Now if only he could find some stuff for Billy too, that would be great. As it turns out fortune was on his side today. He found some rugs in Billy's favorite color, after Adrien was done working his magic on them they would look fabulous.
Adrien returned home and started working. From the red piece of cloth, Adrien made a hoodie for Billy, with a golden lightning bolt on its chest. He used torn blue fabric to make pants for Billy, and red, white and golden sneakers for him. He made sure that colors didn't clash, plus they were the same colors Captain Marvel wore when he transformed. For himself, he fashioned black skintight jeans, a black crocodile leather jacket and pink shirt—that perfectly outlined his lean, developing muscles... plus it matches his hair—and black boots.
Satisfied with the job, he quickly changed into his new attire, admiring his looks in the conjured mirror. Adrien neatly folded Billy's new clothes and put them near their bed. He was about to leave their house to take a walk when he noticed something shiny on the floor. Adrien came closer to inspect the object. It was a pendant, shaped like a raven. Curious, Adrien bent down to pick up the object. The moment his hand touched the pendant vision invaded his psyche.
Vision
Adrien was in a forest. In front of him was a young girl, running. Running from something terrifying, something that stood behind Adrien and was approaching the terrified girl. When Adrien turned around he saw a dreadful sight. A tall, red demon that resembled what humans referred to as Devil, stood there growling like a beast. With giant horns adorning his head. Two sets of glowing, monstrous red eyes, taking permanent residence on his forehead. The beast plunged his hand forward, Adrien closed his eyes waiting for the impact, but the pain never came. Instead, it went through Adrien like he was made out of air. Monster's hand reached into the girl's chest, ripped out her beating heart, and crushed it into dust. When Adrien looked at the girl, instead of her, there was a humongous black bird - a raven. With a bloody cavity where her heart should be. Red diamond adorning her forehead.
