Chapter 9 - The known yet unknown

So,

Since you told me about your lineage I guess it's my turn?

Hmmm ... Well I'll just fill up the previous one's gaps, I'm from an alien race called Saiyan and more importantly I'm a Prince sweet right?.

Raven: ...

YOU'RE.A.WHATTTT.!!!!

After filling Raven in about my race and saiyans overall that single topic lasts us a full half hour surprisingly.

Raven: Wait so, Do you all have silver hair ? And silver tails? Or is it just you.

Leon: Well no most saiyans have black hair,

I have silver hair due to my lineage as a prince if what Jarvis told me was true then only Royal saiyans have Silver hair.

Raven: This...

Just got more and more surprising, so wow no wonder you act so cocky it's in your blood.

Leon: Hey!!! That's not true it's all me full Leon Braveheart! Okay !

Raven: Sure sure ... Sigh wow ...Y--You're really special.

Leon: I know praise me more

* as i puff my chest out*

*Thummp*

Raven stares at me for a few seconds before saying___

Raven: Don't you miss them? Or want to see them ? Your real family I mean.

Leon: *Sigh* You can't miss people you never met Raven, Plus my adoptive parents loved me so much I never thought about my biological ones so much.

Raven:.... I see I'm sorry I brought that topic up.

Leon: No problem at all it doesn't matter much to me anyways.

Raven: Guess we're similar in that way too huh, I'm also the only remaining one of my people from another dimension called Azarath but it was destroyed by my father.

Leon: Huh? Why would he do that isn't he from there too?

Raven: No, he's a demon or THE Demon as in the Devil in a sense from another dimensions Hell, Named Trigon . My mother Arella was chosen by trigons followers to be his wife who then seduced my mother in his human form but when the act of consumation was over he revealed his true form.Horrified by his true demonic appearance after the seduction, my mother fled and was eventually taken in by people from the dimension of Azarath. Until,....

Until.. I got curious about him and led him there where he killed everyone and destroyed Azarath because of me.

After that he took me with him, but I escaped after a few years.* Muffled sobs*

I killed everyone, they all died because of me my mother as well, Leon I'm a murderer.

* Raven starts crying softly hiding her face in her hands and knees *

* Leon pulls her in for another hug, and they just sit there on the floor of the living room two orphans burdened by the moniker of being the last and survivors of their people *

You were curious about your father as would any child be, had you known he was evil you wouldn't have tried to contact him.

It's alright, I'll be there for you if he should come again we'll face him together and if you try to run away to do something stupid remember this I'll be right there no matter how much you try to push me away.

Raven: It's all my fault they all died because of me.

Leon:*Sigh* We can't change the past but we can make the future better Raven, this burden it's not yours only from now on we'll share it together okay ? So, we'll need to get stronger to face him the next time he comes and from what I hear he will it's inevitable we need to get stronger both of us .

Raven: No... * As she takes a heavy breathe* It's not your burden nor responsibilities to share Leon your innocent,it's not your duty. I'm the sole bearer of this sin not you.

Leon: But it is remember? I'm a superhero, it's basically my job to save people and you come under that.

Raven: * Chuckles* Don't lie you hate the word superhero, I don't know why but you don't want to be one so why lie to be one for me ?

Leon: I may hate the name but the deed is one of conscience, if you can't determine right or wrong without the moniker then you don't lack heroicism you lack empathy.

And you're my friend Raven, and I won't let you fight this alone remember that or else I'll summon trigon myself or go to that alien hell to fight him myself alone.

Raven Chuckles at the sheer audacity of Leon's to be able to say he'll fight a literal alien Satan, her father for her sake.

As the pair, bask in each other's warm embrace reliving their sorrows,

The night grows shorter by the minute as time passes by quickly.
