Ok, I expect to get reviews for this! Enjoy! My first non-romance. 3rd Person Point Of View

"Take that, Rancid!" Robin threw a birdarang at the villain, knocking the bag of jewels from his hand. He reached down to grab it and was surrounded by a black aura. Raven threw him to the wall where he was quickly cuffed by Robin and escorted away by the authorities.

"Well that was really easy." Raven floated to the ground and looked at Robin. "Almost too easy, wouldn't you say?"

Robin looked at his teammate. "Yeah, it was. But we caught him by surprise, so that must be it. Let's just go home and get some rest." He piled into the T-Car along with the others.

When they reached the overly large T-shaped tower that they called home, the five teens trudged wearily upstairs. After saying their goodnights, they stalked to their respective rooms and flopped into their beds and fell asleep.

1:32 A.M.

Cyborg was having nightmares about Gizmo animating his spare parts and gaining control, making them- well, we'll leave it at that. He stumbled out to the kitchen to grab a snack. After devouring his ham sandwich, he walked back to bed. When he passed the living room, however, he had to do a double take.

In the middle of the room, there was a large purple… thing. It was spinning slowly and a light breeze was blowing. Streaks of blue would flash through every now and then, and he heard a noise, like someone was calling to him… It was a soft, calm voice. Was it calling for help?

"Holy… Shit… I gotta… gotta… wake up Robin…" He ran down the hall and beat on Robin's door frantically. "Robin! Robin! Dude, you gotta see this!"The door opened and a very peeved Robin stumbled out.

"What the heck… Cyborg? What's going on?" His hair was disheveled, his mask askew as if he threw it on hastily.

Cyborg's yelling had also woken up the rest of the team. Beast Boy stumbled down the hall, still holding his green teddy. Star walked groggily towards them in her striped pjs and fuzzy slippers. Raven was quite awake and very peeved that she was disturbed. Cyborg grabbed Robin's shirt and yanked him down the hall towards the living room, the others trailing behind.

"SLOW DOWN!" Cyborg dropped Robin on the ground with a thud. "Thanks… Whoa. What the hell is THAT?" Everyone crowded closer to see. Everyone was in shock. Raven opened the door and walked in because no one else was brave enough. She examined it closely and motioned for the others to follow.

"It seems to be a portal of some sort. But where it leads I have no idea." She looked puzzled, but not frightened as the others were. She brushed her hand through the edge of the purple cloud and felt a slight pull on her hand. Then she heard something. Before she could speak, Star piped up.

"Can you not hear a noise coming from that? Almost as if it is a... voice… calling out for help." She looked quite pitiful as she said this.

Beast Boy spoke up, "Yeah, there is a voice. It sounds…"

Everyone spoke at once, each voicing their own opinion.

Star, "Scared."

Robin, "In trouble."

Raven, "In pain."

Cyborg, "Lonely."

Beast Boy, "Sad."

Robin looked around at them. "Are we all hearing the same person? Or five different beings? Maybe they… or it… needs our help… We need to discuss this briefly so the portal doesn't fade away and then decide what to do."

The Titans all agreed that they would dress and wake up a bit and then talk. When they returned, they sat down on the couches, all facing the portal. They talked for a while, then decided on a plan of action.

Raven projected an image of herself, which transformed into a shadowy raven and stepped into the portal. She concentrated and after a few seconds, the projection returned and molded back into her body. "I couldn't see anything, besides a world similar to ours… There is a terrible power there… but the world still thrives under its tyranny. That's all I know."

Robin nodded. "That's why that voice was pleading with us. It wants our help. We must go to it and see what we can do." He stood up and walked closer.

"Dude, wait!" Beast Boy stood up. "What if we get stuck there? I know you're all about helping people, but we need to think here!"

Raven, surprised at his show of intelligence, agreed. "I think it would be safe to go, though. Because I know the Titan Tower so well, I could probably open a portal back into my room, at least. I say we go. I know Robin wants to and grass stain doesn't. Star? Cyborg?" They both looked at each other and nodded.

"That voice was so sad. I cannot let whomever that being is suffer! We must help it!" With that, she stepped through the portal.

"Star! God, dang it!" Robin jumped in after her. Cyborg followed closely. Raven looked at Beast Boy.

"It's ok, Beast Boy. Go ahead and I'll be right behind you." Raven, in a rare show of kindness, nodded gently toward the portal. Beast Boy stepped through and Raven followed, with one last look at the living room. The purple vortex closed quietly behind her, a silence descending on the normally loud tower.
