Raven wound her way through the dark jungle, stepping over fallen trees and dodging the plant covered limbs that drooped over her. Strange flying insects buzzed about around her and added to the symphony of animal calls seeping from the darkness. Raven was simply attempting to continue onward, with no sense of direction. Her mind drifted to only a few hours earlier when she had been in an alleyway battling the strangest villain she had ever encountered.

"You can't kill me Titans," the strange woman had hissed, "I have hidden my essence safely in this time and as long as I terrorize this lovely city I shall never die!" This odd statement was followed by a laughter that sounded half-crazed. Her eyes darted to each Titan as she backed away farther down the gloom of the alley.

"Then we'll just have to kick your butt to Australia." Cyborg retorted. The Titans assumed their usual fighting stance and waited for that routine command,

"Titans, GO!"

The mad woman simply laughed as she turned to run into the thick darkness in the alleyway. The Titans raced after her and began to surround her on all sides as she ran, she was quite human in her speed and wasn't exactly a marathon runner. The Titans quickly had two flying angels above her, a lime-green tiger running behind her on the left and a robotic man sprinting on her behind right. Suddenly an acrobat flipped in front of her and quickly cut her off. The woman screeched to a halt and looked at Robin with a glint of confidence in her eye.

"Do you know what happens when the body and the essence are separated into different times?" She asked him as though she were a teacher asking a student. "The body becomes NOTHING!"

And with that the figure of a woman transformed into a huge silver dragon with claws and teeth of a magical material. The dragon was beautiful, yet it's scales were blinding as a single ray of light from one of the buildings reflected upon them. The Titans each had to shield their eyes from the sudden brightness and it was within that instant that their lives changed.

A blast of energy came from the dragon and flew in all directions, hitting each of the titans in turn. Raven felt her body being pushed backwards and expected to feel the pain of falling on the building roof as she fell. But she didn't. Raven opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by nothing but… nothing. There was nothing beneath her or above. She felt nothing as she brought her hand to her face.

"Well," she said to herself, "I'm not in Kansas anymore."

She felt a slight pang from her stomach at the moment and quickly looked down to see her signature of a raven formed by her black energy. But something was wrong, the bird was trying to escape. Her soul-self was trying it's hardest to fly as far away as it could. It finally managed to wriggle free and began to float into the nothing.

Raven suddenly felt exhausted and confused. "No…" she whispered as she watched her soul-self float away. "…No…" she said again as she took a step toward it. This was apparently a mistake as Raven suddenly felt her world fly upside down. It was as though she was standing on her head, but she didn't want to fall… upward? 'I need my soul-self.' She thought desperately. She could almost still see it hovering on the edge of her mind. So she closed her eyes, and lunged towards it as she left everything else behind.

She awoke in a vast jungle, her knees rested on a bed of leaves and soft dirt. She glanced up to see a cloud of green from all the trees surrounding her. A movement in her arms caused her to stare down and see her soul-self reentering her body. Once the last wisp disappeared she immediately felt as though someone had just given her the most relaxing cup of herbal tea in the world.

That had been hours ago. Raven still had no idea where she was, or where her friends were for that matter. She was lost and confused, and not to mention a tad bit annoyed seeing as the same bugs kept biting… and biting… Finally Raven released a tidal wave of energy, creating a huge hole around her. The tree trunks around her had parts removed and the limbs currently above her had disappeared. But then, the bugs had too.

Raven smirked at her work until she felt the sting of another insect biting her. Raven felt her whole face turn red with fury. A moment later she was hiking through the jungle again, with an orb of black energy holding body parts of what used to be an insect trailing behind her. 'That'll teach 'em.'

She continued on for what seemed like hours. She came to several places where the vines were too thick to walk through, so she simply changed her direction. She had no idea where she was going, and the canopy was too thick for her to fly through. She could have blasted her way through but those last two blasts of her energy seemed to be having effects on her. Apparently she had either used too much or she hadn't fully recovered from reabsorbing her soul-self.

"When will this ever end?" She sighed.

She then brushed away a rather thick vine to stare into two green orbs that stared back. Taken by surprise, she fell backwards onto the soft jungle floor.

"Sorry!" The child yelled. "I didn't mean to scare you!" He ran over to help her sit up, and she was able to see him clearly.

He was green.

She stared aghast at the boy as he smiled at her.

"My name is Garfield Logan. What's yours?"
