Troubled Mind
—Zan Axe—
ONE

What would you do if one day you woke to an entirely new world? One where everyone you knew was so incredibly different, that you could barely recognize them. One where the people you hold most dear told you that everything you once knew about life was a lie. You are probably thinking that it could never happen to you. But you are wrong. I know this because it happened to me. My name is Rachel Roth, and this is my story.

"Mmm. . ." She rolled over in her sleep towards the warmer part of the Queen sized bed. She snuggled next to it, savoring the warmth as sleep gradually drifted away from her. When the heat source shifted, however, she became fully alert. She sat up in the bed and looked to her left. There it was, or rather, there he was. A shirtless boy in his late teens, nineteen perhaps, with messy black hair, a well-conditioned physique, and crystal blue eyes staring back at her. But who?

"G'morning, babe." He said in a familiar voice to her and kissed her cheek. When she didn't respond, but sat there rather stupidly, instead, he began to worry. "Are you feeling okay, Rachel?"

That definitely got her attention and she realized who this was. "Robin? Is that you?"

"I think we've known each other long enough that you don't have to call me by that old nickname." He told her with a smile and leaned in to kiss her mouth. She didn't have enough time to react and avoid it. Instead, she felt as if she would melt by the love he was giving to her. She could feel it, but not empathically. She felt a blush creep up on her as the kiss lingered and intensified. Finally, they parted for air. "Aww, how sweet. You're blushing."

"I am not!" Rachel insisted and looked away.

He just chuckled and slightly shook his head. "Well, Mrs. Dick Grayson," He leaned forward and pecked her lips once. "we better get ready for class or we'll be late." Robin, or rather Dick, got out of the bed on his side and walked over to the other side of the room to grab some fresh clothes out of various drawers. He eventually went into the bathroom and she heard the sound of the shower's running water shortly thereafter.

Mrs.? I'm married? And to him? Okay, okay. Calm down, Raven. There must be a reasonable explanation to all of this. Maybe some villain transferred me to an alternative universe where I am a college student. Or maybe they are playing a trick on me. And boy, I am so Punk'd. Raven looked around and walked over to the window. She looked out and saw no ocean, no city, but instead park-like scenery from a second story view. Where in the world was she? I need to get back. . . The city's defenseless without all of us there and I bet they are worried. And how in the world did Ro— Dick know my real name? I wonder how the others are doing. . .

After a long pause at the window and a sigh, Rachel decided to dig through the drawers for some clothes and get out of her pajamas. After looking through three drawers she found some snug tees that would fit her. She pulled out a black tee that had "Sarcasm is just one more free service we offer" on the front in white. She dug through the drawers again until she found new underwear and dark blue jeans. As she changed she found a mirror in one of the corners of the room. Since when was my hair long and black? And I have dark blue eyes and creamy skin. Maybe it's this world. Maybe I was sent to a different dimension! Rachel thought about different possibilities until she thought she would pull her black hair out. Instead, she put her pajamas in the wash basket and changed before exiting their room to explore the rest of the house. I have a bad feeling about this. . .

Rachel entered a hallway with two doors on each side, hers on the end, and stairs at the other end. She peered into each door as she passed them. One was incredibly pink, on the opposite side was another room that was horrifyingly messy. Down a little ways was one so filled with computers and electronic devices there was hardly room for a bed. Does this mean that Star, BB, and Cy are here, as well? There was one more door to look through. Raven felt anxious as she walked closer to it. Is Terra actually alive? She was relieved (as to why she wasn't sure) to find that it was only a bathroom.

Finally, Raven walked down the stairs that led to the front door. She turned right and kept walking down the hallway until she came into the simple kitchen where a black man was making waffles. "Hiya Rae, want some waffles?" He asked as he turned around. As she had thought earlier, it was Cyborg, only 100 human and with hair.

"Of course she does, Vic. Why did you even ask?" She turned to a pale Caucasian boy with blond hair and blue eyes. He looked a little younger than her, maybe seventeen or eighteen. This can't be. . . And then she saw his elf ears. It is! It's Beast Boy before he was green. "Hey, how about another slice of bacon, my friend." Rachel's eyes about bulged out of their sockets. Beast Boy. . . eating meat? She thought for a moment. Well, I guess it makes sense because he doesn't turn into animals, so he wouldn't be concerned about eating them.

Vic answered him about the bacon. "No can do, Gar. You have to make it yourself." So, his name is Gar. . .

"You seem awfully quiet this morning, Rae. Are you feeling alright?" A tall girl with long ruby hair and pretty green eyes told her. Must be human Star. "Oh! Silly me. You haven't had your coffee this morning. I'll go get it for you." I wonder what her name is in this crazy world.

"I already started the coffee maker, Kori." Said Vic. Kori. . . "Here are my famous waffles, Rae. Eat up." He seems calmer than when he was a Titan.

"Thanks, Vic." Rachel said to him as she sat down at the table where her waffles were sitting. Better to just play along. She decided. "So, anyone heard of the Teen Titans?"

"No, what songs do they play?" Gar said in a totally serious manner. He wasn't joking.

"They aren't a band, Gar." Rachel told him in-between bites of her waffles. "They're super heroes."

"I didn't know you were into comics, Rae." Kori said while giving Rachel her big mug of coffee and then brought over French Vanilla creamer and sugar. Rachel tried her best not to look disgusted at the mug. Coffee, seriously? I was hoping they were just joking.

"I'm not. I'm saying the Teen Titans are real. There's Robin who is the leader, Raven is second-in-command,"

"Robin and Raven? Are they all named after birds?" Gar asked in a skeptical tone.

"No, just the two of them. Then there's Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire. They protected Jump City from criminals like Dr. Light, Control Freak, Brother Blood, the HIVE-Five, and Robin's arch enemy Slade." Rachel tried to keep things light and airy, instead of let them know that she was trying to verify her existence as Raven.

"So what kind of powers did these five have?" Vic asked, clearly interested.

"Well, Robin is human, so his power is his mind, his martial arts, and his gadgets. Raven, on the other hand, is only half-human through her mother. She was born on another planet called Azarath and raised by monks. Her powers are flight, telekinesis or levitation, teleportation, empathy, and she also has some small healing abilities." Rachel told them while monitoring their reactions. Maybe she wasn't the only one sent to this dimension and all they needed was something to jog their memories.

She continued. "Cyborg is also half-human. In an accident before he met the other Titans, he was critically injured. He lost half of his body, and it was replaced by cybernetics. He has super strength because of it, can analyze different substances with his cybernetic parts, and has a sonic cannon that his hand transforms into." Cyborg looked keenly interested, but she could see no sparks of recognition in his eyes.

She turned to Gar. "Beast Boy can transform into animals. But the thing is, he is all green. His eyes, his hair, his skin; all green. So when he turns into animals, they are green, too. And finally," she turned to face Kori, "Starfire. She is an alien princess from the planet Tamaran. She has super strength, even greater than Cyborg's, has the ability of flight, and can shoot lasers from her hands and eyes."

"Wow, Rae. You've had some pretty bizarre dreams, but that one takes the cake." Said a familiar voice and she turned around. Dick was there, drying his hair with a tower.

"What makes you think it was a dream?" She asked.

"I've read comic books since I was a young child, and I have never even heard of the Teen Titans. It must have been a dream, Rae. You've been having some really weird ones lately."

"No! It was real. It has to have been. It— it can't be not real. It just can't be." Then, Rachel did something she never thought she would do. She cried. About that time her other four roommates decided it was time for a doctor's visit.

A/N: Wow, finally got this one out. I thought it was cute. Now I just have to figure out a plotline! How fun. . . Well, review. I want to know what you think. And yeah, I know Kori, Gar, and Vic don't have personalities, yet. "Yet" is the key word. I'll work on that.
