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.

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.

	Trigon remained silent, but ready. There was something about this situation that felt... different. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"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.

	Trigon let his demonic energies subside for the time being. Things seemed to be turning in favor of the young Dove. As per what he agreed with Steve, he would do what was best for the Teen Titans--for now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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.

	(COMPASSION) (HOPE) Of course, Ty. I'm right here. Anything you need Ruth tries to give Ty as much of her mind as possible, the way she got him through things before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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.

	Iris pulls him up out of the water as he slowly regains his senses. He blinks a couple times, then shakes his head. "No... no, I'm not ok. I've... I've seen their plans. We have to get out of here. They're just playing with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
