Frisco Blues (Titans)
It started as any other morning in San Francisco. The sun came up in the East and people climbed from the beds to start their day.

The Titans in Titans Tower were starting their day. Their new sister team from the East were visiting for a meeting to discuss the current situation. While they were inside making plans, the waters of the Pacific started to churn. Waves kicked up and dark clouds blocked out the light of the sun.

The water quickly pulled back from the shore and things were calm for the briefest of moments. Then a huge tsunami crashed ashore and water flooded the lower half of the city.

Formerly covered in stone, said stone catches on fire, though the flames are purple, and reek of magic. The ants clearly disorient him, and one eye is badly scratched, but nothing is reaching his mind either.

Speaking of minds...

He stops trying to attack purely physically, a blast of raw telepathic force trying to reach out towards Steve's physical brain, trying to assault the vulnerability of the host and, if nothing else, give him something to work on besides forming more psychic creatures.

"There is no out... poor Ty is trapped in his little box. This body is mine now, as surely as the world belongs to death."

A telepathic assault wasn't expected, but it was slightly welcomed. Trigon twitched in response, but was very capable of fending off a telepathic assault. he did just that, and kept Ty's prying mind from reaching Steve's.

"You dare try to reach into this mind? You will soon learn that you cannot penetrate this mind."

The ants were being taken down by the mystical fire coating Ty's body, which ruled out the attempt to assault Ty's brain. So instead, Trigon reverted back to physical attacks.

The dragon breathed fire at Ty.

"Your shields are impressive, but your host is not Hector Hammond. Pity." he replies, continuing the telepathic shield, as much to keep Trigon occupied with that as anything.

Like Trigon, none of this is random, and he's not limited to doing one thing at a time, mind working on multiple levels, Deathstroke and the Calculator having a little conference in his brain and analyzing the odds and tactics at Zoom speed.

Time bends, and Ty suddenly isn't where he was, firing off telepathic blast after blast while bending the seconds to move, effectively, at near the speed of light, throwing punches physically at the same time.

He held up against the telepathic assaults, but the physical assaults were something of a different sort. Punches landed in such quick succession--Trigon grew more furious with his inability to keep up after each blow. Then, finally, Trigon had had enough.

"ENOUGH!!!" Trigon bellowed. A ball of energy grew around Trigon and his raven to keep Ty out. It was rooted in Trigon's demonic power, which he had yet to bring to the table. But now was no longer the time to hold back his powers.

"Meet your end at the hands of my servants."

And using his demonic powers, he summoned forth a group of winged demons outside of his ball of energy. It was they who attacked Ty next, throwing all of their strength at him to give their master some time to breathe.

"Ahhh, there we go... there's the anger I was looking for. Delicious."

Despite the declaration, this isn't easy. Ty would be a quivering heap by now, useless... but instead, he's actiely turned. William Hand has none of those issues.

Still, he has to reach deep. Spikes grow out of Ivo's armor, his form growing larger, muscles grotesquely bulging. The skies clash and swirl around him. And still the demons come.

He launches into super speed, the seconds bending, the world going still around him as his dead, withered hand plunges into a demon's chest, their hearts and demonic anger feeding his power.

And still the demons come, tearing and lashing and stabbing.

His mind races overtime as Deathstroke analyzes every move and tactic, giving him responses in literal split-second time, Black Adam's speed amidst the fury of the time-stop as he's fed moves from a dozen arts.

And still the demons come, breathing fire and acid and sonic screams, unleashing the fury of hell.

He almost buckles a dozen times, his fire growing faint, yellow and violet lashing around him, tearing into supernatural flesh even as they tear into him, even Ivo's invulnerable hide scratching and crumbling before their might.

And still the demons come, minds unleashing visions of hellfire and damnation, crashing like waves at the Hammond and Sinestro shields.

The body the is Ty's disappears in a wall of demonic flesh, claws and teeth with bursts of hellfire emitting from the mass, the hordes of hell trying to bury death itself.

For a moment, the power of hell seems victorious over death itself, amidst the constant war for some kind of eternity that has raged between heaven and hell - the latter seems to have struck a terrible blow. And then, there's a word.

"SHAZAM!"

The hordes burst apart, demons dissipating under the onslaught and shockwave, thrown away.

It comes again, and again, and again, amidst flashes of yellow and violet weapons, psychic onslaughts and the water itself rising to swallow anything it can grasp. Bloody, scratched, bone exposed in a dozen places, but unbowed.

"SHAZAM! SHAZAM!! SHAZAM!!!"

And each time, the godwave strikes, the whole field cast in blacklight, electricity continuing to radiate over the water around him as the seas froth and boil.

He extends the dead hand, and a bubble of telekinetic force appears around the demon, reinforced by yellow and violet and magical light - the latter emitting sounds of magical rituals to weaken and entrap demons - things Ty would never dare for fear of losing his soul... but William Hand has no such fear... and no soul to speak of.

"You're right... that will be quite enough." he agrees, looking up to the sky, focusing on the ritual - but not so much he can't manage the word...

"SHA...what?" he pauses, cut off by... something.

Trigon remained within his barrier the entire time, focusing his demonic power into holding it up against the shockwaves. It worked, and he remained safe inside of his ball of energy.

All that was left was to prepare a strike while the Black Hand was distracted. He let his energy ball dissipate and charged energy into his hands and eyes. Before he lashed out with his attack, he waited to see where this was going.

The presence of those two girls was the distinct reason the Black Hand had halted. Or, perhaps, it was Ty that halted.

The rituals and light extending out from Ty, designed to contain and weaken Ty haven't diminished, and Deathstroke's regeneration continues apace - even after the surge, there's little sense of vulnerability to him, and it grows less by the second.

Ruth and Iris, however, certainly have his attention.

"Ah, but it is me, now. I am the Avatar of the black. This world will fall." Despite his words, he's hesitating. It may have something to do with Ty - but he's also most hesitant when looking at Ruth - as if she worries him now far more than Trigon does.

"He doesn't have a..." he's struggling, for some reason, in a way that fighting Trigon didn't begin to approach. Indeed, between the ritual, the magic surrounding him and the powerful demonic emotions and powers of chaos - Trigon currently seems to be helping William Hand more than he's hurt him. Indeed, it should be quickly becoming obvious to the demon that, for all its powers, its kind of strength is not well suited to fighting the power of the black - an almost depthless void that feeds and feeds, never full. All the demons he fed it may have struggled mightily - but in the end, they just fed him.

Ruth, however, is a different matter entirely. In comparison, Trigon is an afterthought.

He can feel the emotions from her - but they don't fill him, don't satisfy the void. What's worse, her presence is screwing everything else up - he's taking Iris' emotions in, but can't 'feel' them, instead, they're just waking up what he'd pacified.

The spikes shrink a little, the grey armor forming cracks.

"You... you bitch. What are you?" he directs at Ruth, drawing on more and more of his own power instead of that all around him, close, yet somehow hard to attain.

Ruth can feel something - very faint, but familiar, itching at her mind. Its weak, but still an unmistakable presence.

Meanwhile, the receding of the demonic energies is clearly not helping, and the yellow and violet rings on the blackened hand begin to flare slightly - the violet in particular, as the rings latch onto the emotion to try and help the battle.

"He's not yours... he's mine. I took his bitch, I took his hope, and I took his mind, fair and square."

yes. comes a very quiet voice in Ruth's head.

I... I can't fight him without help. He's too strong. But you... he's scared of you. help me?

Raging, Ty raises a hand, and once again, the tower begins to shake on its foundations, the water around him begins to boil, and the rituals of demon banishment and warding grow stronger as he builds up - he may not be able to taste this one - but these fools can be crushed - but for some reason, its slower, harder to access the deep recesses of power than it was.

Initially - just the reaction he was looking for. Getting a rise out of Trigon - more he can draw on. The shaking and frothing grows worse, and any remnant of anything demonic grows weaker - but only for a few moments.

The hand lifts to his head like he has a splitting headache, his eyes fix on Ruth. The blackened hand reaches for her, a blast emits forth - but the yellow and violet rings flash of their own accord, and a two-colored shield bubble springs to life before Ruth just before she can be struck.

"No. No! You bitch! You can't... get out of my head!"

The yellow and violet intensify - then bleed into Ruth, who is now positively glowing white. The radiance washes over Ty - and the blackened hand is gone, the shaking and boiling stopped.

He floats for a moment more, then drops into the water like a stone.
