I felt it. The tear was closer. I looked back at Robin. "We're nearly there. I can feel it." He nodded. I kept levitating. The tear was closer. The building looked familiar. "No." I whispered. It was the old library built over the Caves of the Order of Scath. The place where I'd nearly destroyed the whole universe-starting with Earth.
I had removed all the books, and some of them had dealt in travel, through time, and across worlds. Someone had made a back up. I pulled my communicator out. "Starfire, Beast Boy. The library." I closed my communicator. They'd know what I meant. I sighed. Maybe now that Trigon had been defeated, and the prophecy complete, I wouldn't glow when I entered the tunnels.
Starfire arrived, with falcon-Beast Boy right on her heels. Robin stood up. "Titans, we've got to shut the portal. Let's move!" We raced into the library. I opened the door.
"Is it there?" I asked. Beast Boy switched into a human and nodded. I sighed. "Great. Just great." I said in a sarcastic monotone. I hovered down the steps. When we reached the broken part in the stairs, I created a platform for Cyborg, and Robin, if the Teen Wonder didn't want to grapple down. "All aboard the Raven express." I said. the boys stepped on, and Beast Boy became a falcon again. We made our way deeper into the catacombs.
I sighed. Robin and Aqualad had convinced the Team to go to Jump City. We were so dead. "Approaching Jump City." said M'gann. "Shifting to camoflauge mode. Linking the team up." M'gann paused. All done! she thought" I sighed.
"Emit ot yrt a wen kool!" I said. Smoke appeared, and my costume appeared. The smoke vanished. Rocket looked impressed.
"Girl, it takes my several hours to get dressed! No fair!" she said. I smiled.
"Focus." said Aqualad. "Robin, what part of the city did Zatanna's spell say the tear was in?"
Robin tapped on his holographic computer. "An abandoned library. In the older section of the city." M'gann nodded, and directed the bioship towards that part of the city.
I looked out the winow. The city was very crime ridden. Six mugging, and we'd just past the outskirts. I muttered spells under my breath. It was the least I could do.
We arrived at the library. It really was abandoned. Three of the windows had been boarded up. "The tear is here. Its...under us. Secret passage?" I said.
Robin typed into his computer. "Secret passage. That wall there! its too short for the blueprints." Superboy walked over, and kicked the wall. It collapsed, revealing a staircase. "Ok, that's not creepy at all." Robin said. M'gann and Rocket flew in, Kid Flash ran, and the rest of us jogged.
The descent seemed to take an eternity. We came to a hallway that split. "Hey Rob! Seem familiar?" asked Kid Flash.
Robin grinned. "Yep. Bizare looking hallway one, or bizare looking hallway two? Zatanna?"
I extended my energy. "Bizare looking hallway two. But first..." I though, and chanted "Thghil emoc ot ym danh ni a ebolg!" Light particles swarmed to my hand, and formed into a globe. We walked on.
I stopped. "It should be here." We where in the room I had summoned my father in. "Right there." Visible only from one angle, a swirling purple vortex took up the center of the room. In front of it stood Psimon, reading from a book. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" My magic gagged Psimon midspell. He disappeared, and reappeared behind me.
He shoved, and we whent through the portal. At the last second, I dragged him, and the book in after us. Just in case he was the only one who could send us home.
A loud crash echoed through the caverns. We raced ahead. Violet light flashed, and disappeared. We turned the corner, and saw five teens fighting one man. One of teens appeared to be Robin? I looked back at "our" Robin. He was staring at his doppëganger with an open mouth. Rocket, put the man in a force field. Aqualad thought. I'll introduce us.
Rocket nodded. She used the kinetic energy of the teens' battle to trap the man in a force field. The teens turned, and saw us. Robin's doppëganger's mouth dropped open. He shook his head, and said "I'm Robin, and we're the Teen Titans." He pointed to his team, and named them. Cyborg was the uh, cyborg. Raven was in the blue cloak, Beast Boy was green, and Starfire was the alien.
Aqualad stepped forward. "Greetings. We are simply known as the Team. We're covert opperations for the Justice League. I am Aqualad. This is our Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Rocket, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Zatanna." He pointed us out one by one. I kept looking back an forth between the other Robin, and my Robin. Our Robin.
"How is that Friend Kid Flash? He is taller." said the alien, Starfire.
Artemis laughed. "That is so funny! Can he vibrate his molevules through solid objects? Nose-bleed boy can't!" She bent over laughing.
"He can. He's also got a girlfriend." said Raven in a deadpan voice. Artemis stopped laughing.
"Why don't you come with us. Batman will be annoyed with us enough when we tell him we went on a mission without his approval. If we let you go, he would be very angry." said Aqualad. Other-Robin went white.
"Batman?" He gasped. Our Robin laughed.
"You don't seem whelmed. What's wrong with Batman? Dynamic Duo, remeber?" he said. I smiled. Only Robin would mess with his own dopplëganger.
"We broke tied long ago. I don't go to Gotham, he doesn't come to Jump. I got tired of being treeted as-
-a sidekick." The Robins finished in unison. They looked at each other.
"We should be going." said Miss Martian. "Let's get in the bioship. We can talk on the way." M'gann summoned the bioship, and decamoflauged it. The Teen Titans gasped.
M'gann lowered the runway. Everyone filed in, and sat down. We raced towards Mount Justice.
