OOC Intro: My first Teen Titans Fan fic. I was originally going to create my own titans, but I couldn't get anything straight and the set characters were good enough for me. I'm using the same universe my other idea was in so it really is AU. Please R&R.

Disclaimer: I don't own the titans, their tower, or their universe. I do own Avarice and everything in it along with Cyborg's time-space modifier.

"Steady.... Steady.... Easy does it..." came the angst filled voice of Cyborg.

"What has he been up to this time?" Raven asked in her usual monotonous voice.

"He did not say." Starfire said, floating just above the ground.

"All he said was wait in the living room." Robin said, flipping through yet another channel on their wide screen TV.

"Hey, slow down! That thing's fragile!" Cyborg cried again, louder and closer to the door. All eyes turned as the door slid open and revealed Cyborg glaring at a green llama. Beast Boy promptly became human again and glared back.

"It's not my fault you had to take this stupid whatchamajig out for show and tell!" he said, waving a hand at the cart behind them. Something had been covered with a white cloth and placed on a cart, which was tied to Beast Boy's waist.

Before Cyborg could reply Starfire had floated over, looking at the lumpy cloth.

"Stand back!" Cyborg said and as Starfire hovered back to the others who were gathered around the couch Cyborg cleared his throat and began to speak in his best announcer's voice.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to present to you-" he whipped off the cloth from the object. "the....." he stopped there, at a loss for words.

The thing resembled a large arched wall mirror, without any glass in it. Bolts and screws and wires ran along the archway in seemingly random places and bits and pieces of random gunk seemed to have been tacked on in different places. A few light bulbs were screwed in as well, some on the inside and some on the out.

Beast Boy was the first to recovered from the awkward silence when everyone was trying to figure out something to say.

"You made me work for hours to get that into the living room?!" he cried, shocked and turning red.

"So... what is it?" Raven said, quickly before they could start and argument. Starfire and Robin nodded in agreement.

"This is... ah... well..." Cyborg rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess it's a.... space-time-continuum-modifying-device."

The stunned silence after this remark lasted even longer than the other ones.

"A what?!" Beast Boy asked, again the first to find something to say.

"It's something that allows time travel, but how Cyborg?" asked Robin.

"Well, I started looking through my memory banks and the chromaton detonator gave me the idea. If you could stop time couldn't you go through it?" Cyborg replied, still rubbing the back of his neck.

"Um... Ro-" Starfire started to say just as Beast Boy jumped up.

"So if this thing can go back in time couldn't we-"

"It's supposed to go back in time, but I'm not sure it works yet." Cyborg said. "I tested with some soymilk-"

"So that's where-"

"But that's not the point. If we went through it we could risk getting trapped in time, or disappearing forever!" Cyborg said. "I don't even know if we'll be able to return!"

"Um... Cy-" Starfire said meekly but Raven was the one who spoke this time.

"Beast Boy, you cannot change what happened to Terra." she said as Beast Boy sighed, his entire body looking downcast.

In the silence that followed the girl's name Starfire spoke again, this time louder.

"Cyborg, you said you based the design off a Chromaton detonator?" she asked.

Cyborg nodded, and then he caught on.

"Oh no, oh no!" he cried trying to push the thingamajig back into the hallway as Starfire stared to sneeze.

"Ah-Ahhh-ACHOOOO!"

There was a bright flash of green light.

"Oooh!" Beast Boy moaned, grabbing his head. Raven emerged from the floor where she had managed to sink herself before Starfire sneezed. Robin peered up from behind the couch, pushing his jelled hair back into place. Cyborg's groan of pain became a yelp and a cry as he got up, seeing what had happened to his machine.

The bronze colored arch had been blown off, the light bulbs and wires that had run along it shattered and broken, sparking with electricity. Bits and fragments of strange objects littered the floor and cart as well as the head of a screw and a strange crystal shaped object. The base of the modifier as still intact, amazingly enough, and Beast Boy was the one to point it out.

"Well, at least the base is still intact." he said with an awkward chuckle. Cyborg glared at him.

"I am truly sorry, Cyborg." Starfire said, her eyes downcast. "Could you not rebuild it?"

"Rebuild it!? Impossible, the main power source," Cyborg pointed to the crystal "goes in a very delicate sensor. Any slight jarring would completely destroy the circuit, and now it's been completely busted!" his last words became a wail.

"Cyborg, calm down. We'll find a way to fix your machine." Robin said, putting a hand on Starfire's worried shoulder. "Raven, can't you use your powers to get the power source back in place?" he asked, turning to Raven.

She nodded and raised a hand. "Azarath Metrion Synthos." she said monotonously and her black aura surrounded the crystal. The crystal lifted into the air and, with a point from Cyborg, settled into it's appropriate spot. Raven held on a little longer, twitching the crystal ever so slightly, and suddenly power was running through the base again.

Cyborg whooped with delight but his voice was drowned out by the blipping and crackling of the time-space modifier. It flashed with electricity and Raven's black aura before there was a blinding flash of light and the screams of the Titans faded into nothing.

Okay, did you like it? Please review it, I live off reviews, and I will accept flamers though I'd appreciate knowing exactly what you don't like. Constructive criticizim is always appreciated and actually enjoyed. I will try to update this within the next two weeks, if I get a review or two.
