Here's the next episode of Ultimate Teen Titans!

But before I begin, I'd like to address an anonymous review from someone who calls themselves "Flamer." This individual posted an anonymous review to th pilot episode, Ultimate Teen Titans. This is my response.

Clearly you are a cowardly human being as well as a despicable one. I leave anonymous reviews open because I like to, but clearly I can't respond in kind if you are just plain mean. I'm totally cool with your opinion. But when you damn me to hell, I do like to take offense. Spider-Man in my stories is becoming a man. Therefore, his powers are getting stronger. Indeed, Ult. version could only lift 5 tons. But adult version can lift 20, and his powers grow as he got older. Starfire may be stronger, but she doesn't use all of her strength, and he is definitely stronger than Cyborg. Posting behind the mask of anonymous reviews just makes me pissed, because then I have to rant about you in this section. Please... talk to me like a man. In the meantime, don't hide behind anonymous hate speech that truly shows how cowardly you are. Thank you. I leave the anonymous reviews open for a reason. Don't take advantage of it.

But then I'd like to thank all of your whose reviews are encouraging and constructively critical. It means a lot.

Ultimate Teen Titans

Everafter

Chapter I
Once More Unto The Breach

How can you see into my eyes,

Like open doors?

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb?

Without a soul

My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold.

And when you find it there, you'll lead

It back

Home.

Amy Lee, Bring Me To Life

Peter gulped nervously. He had very good reason to be nervous. He was about to enter Raven's mind.

A few days ago, Jason Todd had made a move on her, and Peter hadn't been very understanding about that, considering he had been wearing the Venom Suit at the time. Now both the suit and Jason were gone, and they were patching up their relationship.

Raven had been very closed about her feelings. Now Peter was going to discover why, and more importantly, how to change that.

She was waiting in her room. When Beast Boy and Cyborg had discovered what they were up to, they had gone pale with fear.

"Dude, that's a very scary place to be," BB had said. "There's like, a pink happy Raven in there..."

"Massive red demon..." Cyborg had added.

"Dark, creepy birds..."

"Floating strawberries..."

None of this had helped Peter at all. So it was with a certain dread that he walked towards her room.

He knocked on her door. It opened with a hiss.

"Pizza," he called. "Okay, not very original, but you know..."

"No. I don't. Close the door."

He pressed a button and the door closed. Raven was seated on the floor, surrounded by candles, her mirror on the ground in front of her.

"What you're about to do is very dangerous," she said as he sat down across from her. "If things go wrong, you could be trapped in my mind forever."

"Eh, there's worse places to be," Peter said nonchalantly. "And it's not like I don't do dangerous stuff all of the time."

"Ha, ha," Raven scoffed. "Very funny. But this could do worse than kill you." Her gaze softened. "I really don't want anything bad to happen."

"Truth be told, me neither," Peter admitted. "But you helped me. Were it not for you, I'd probably be a vegetable host for the suit by now. This is the least I could do."

"Don't say that yet," Raven warned.

"Okay," Peter said. "Just tell me what I have to do."

Raven picked up the mirror.

"This is a portal into my mind," she said. "Both physically and mentally. I can't be in there for too long, or I'll be trapped forever, seeing as it's my own mind."

"So it's kinda like Inception?" Peter asked. "A dream inside of a dream?"

"More like me inside of me," Raven explained. "It opens up a void that closes off the portal if I'm stuck inside me."

Peter shook his head.

"Mind boggling," he said. "But other people can be in there for a while?" Raven nodded.

"I'm relying on you, Peter, to unite the divided factions of my mind. There are eight aspects of me in there. Four positive and four negative. Last time, I was only able to unite seven of them."

"How do these aspects manifest themselves?" Peter asked, feeling confused.

"By my personality," Raven said. "My emotions. Be careful. They may seem... over reactions to everything."

Peter nodded.

"Okay, I'm ready," he said, feeling less ready by the minute. Raven held up the mirror.

"I'll join you when the time is right," she said cryptically, and then added, "I love you."

"You say that like you're never gonna see me again," Peter said, grinning. He looked into the mirror.

He saw his reflection in it. He noticed that he needed to shave again. At least it was stubble, and not creeper mustaches.

And then four red eyes shone out, and his spider-sense went off. He leapt to his feet, but was unable to avoid the massive red hand that jumped out and grabbed him.

"Just let it happen!" Raven shouted over his yells. "Let it happen!"

Hell no! he wanted to shout out. But then it sucked him... into the mirror.

Heeeeeeeere we go!
