The next day, Alex woke up with a curtain of black hair on his face and an arm and leg pressed on his body.
He looked down and saw a grey skinned and black haired beauty drooling on his chest contentedly like she slept for the first time.
It was like she had no sense of herself and she was knocked out cold on his body.
At first she tried to resist falling asleep but seeing Alex sleep so peacefully and without any care, she hesitated.
How long has it been since she last dared to fall asleep. Probably when she was a child in Azaroth and in her mother's protection.
That was the only time, she ever dared to peacefully close her eyes for a good night's sleep.
Ever since the destruction of Azaroth and her Mother's death. Her emotions have been haunting her. Trying to take her to the dark side of herself.
"Alex didn't say anything or even try to move. He knew the hardships of this girl's life and maybe this single peaceful sleep could give her the energy to go on.
'Guess, the formation of Teen Titans has to be put on schedule'. Alex thought to himself.
'I will get it done today. I have already done the framework. Even have the residence is ready. Just need to give the League a heads up'. He mused to himself and patted the girl's head on his chest habitually.
"Alright wake up miss. I need to talk about some serious matters now". Alex shook her shoulders to wake Raven up from her sleep.
"Five more minutes". Raven shook her head and squirmed before tightening her arms around Alex.
"Huh". Suddenly she felt that something was not right and quickly distanced herself from Alex with a very small blush on her face that disappeared instantly
Raven just looked at Alex without saying anything more on the subject. She couldn't read his emotions. So she didn't know any of his motives. Maybe that's what gave her the courage to actually be able to sleep next to him.
If she could read his emotions and felt anything negative then she would never allow that to happen.
"So, you want my help with Trigon?" Alex asked while looking at her.
They were already transported to the sofas in the room and sitting face to face with each other.
Seeing this, Raven didn't even flinch and kept her face straight.
"How do you know?" Raven once again asked the question while squinting her eyes.
"There are many things that I know Dear. You may be surprised if you know them". Alex said with a smile and leaned back into the couch leisurely.
"Trigon is a bastard that cannot escape my eye. I know all of what he has done in the past and I also know that you are his daughter and a half Azarothian". Alex said and smiled at her meaningfully like he had the game in his hand.
"Now you want freedom from this Devil and want to stop him right. I know that you tried going to the rest of the league members but they didn't listen". He unfolded some more facts to make her be a bit more obedient in this.
"Yes". Raven hung her head in hopelessness when she heard his words.
'Maybe I am destined to be alone'. She thought sadly in her head. She had been alone for many years and maybe it will not end any time soon.
"Why are you dejected? I never denied the help". Alex suddenly shook his head with a smile when he saw her dejected appearance.
Raven looked up at his face when she heard his words with her eyes full of hope.
"I can stop him but it is not going to be easy for me either. I will have a dimensional entity and a Reality Warper on my ass after helping you. So you also need to give something in return". He said with a meaningful smile.
"What?" Raven asked back almost reflexively when she heard his words. She just wanted someone to help her with this. Anyone would be fine, she could even collude with a villain for this.
"I am making a group of young heroes. All the troubled Meta-Human teenagers can live there and will be provided stable lives, education and so on and so forth.
It is up to you if you want to join the Superhero team but I guess that most will join. Combat training will be mandatory.
Last but not least, you cannot betray my trust that you will not use your powers for any bad or evil. Rest is up to you on how you use your powers. I won't stop you.
I want you to be a member of this. I mean, you have nothing to lose. You will be protected under me as long as you are a member and you get to make friends and have a stable life". Alex said and enticed her like the whisper of the devil.
'Cassandra and Koriand'r will also go there in the future along with Dick that Bruce has just brought home as his apprentice.
Barbara and the other two problem girls will be coming as well. They are getting a bit out of hand lately or let mom handle them a little pep talk'. Alex mused to himself while imagining their suffering in his mind.
"Are you willing?" Alex asked with a small smile that said, you have no choice.
"I am willing". Raven nodded her head. She found no problem in this. She found that close to him, she couldn't hear any of her emotions and they were very stable. She could express them freely if she wanted to.
Alex was using his Spirit Force and a faint power from Avalon to soothe Raven's inner emotions and keep them from going out of control.
It was one of the helps he thought of for this girl. Avalon is the land of Utopia, Peace and hope. So it can be considered a good harbour for her.
"Ok, I will establish it today and you will be able to get to your new residence shortly". Alex said and disappeared from the room.
As soon as he was gone. Raven again felt her emotions going in havoc and trying to force her onto submission.
She immediately closed her eyes and started mediation to keep the emotions in check and prevent Trigon from controlling her body.
