The Titans were eventually captured by the Wildebeest Society, but were rescued by a group of heroes. Raven donned a new white cloak to represent her being free from her father’s influence. The Titans rescued them both and prevented Brother Blood from returning. Raven was then captured by Brother Blood’s minions to control Nightwing as part of Brother Blood’s resurrection. She vanished, and her mother went looking for her. Afterward, Raven was presumed dead, but she actually rose from ashes of the battle, finally purged of Trigon’s evil. This allowed the souls of Azarath to possess her and use her as a channel to kill Trigon. The Titans came together and killed Raven. The Titans pursued them back to Earth, only to find it was almost completely subjugated under Trigon’s will. Trigon’s demon army invaded Azarath and it was destroyed, despite the Titans best efforts to save it. Trigon eventually escaped, came to Earth and over the course of the next few months, slowly took control of Raven, eventually corrupting her completely. Compounding the problem was the death of Azar, who had by now passed away from old age and Raven was left bereft of her support. More than once, Raven nearly lost control in various high stress situations in her adventures and barely regained it before Trigon could reassert himself. The team was eventually able to defeat Trigon and seal him in an inter-dimensional prison. However, Raven still had to fight her father’s influence, as he was not completely destroyed. In desperation, she reformed the Titans as the New Teen Titans to fight her father.
