Even at top speed, the T-Car and Robin's R-Cycle had no chance of keeping up with the Sentry. He was a shining gleam in the dark sky, speeding towards the coastline before touching down on the island off the coast. He waited, carrying Raven by the Tower's main entrance for the T-Car and the R-Cycle to make it over the bridge connecting Titan's Tower to the mainland. Tapping a control on the dashboard, Cyborg deactivated the defenses and the doors opened.

The Sentry walked in, careful not to make any quick movements. Raven was nonresponsive and slightly curled up in a fetal position. The other Titans stepped back, as she began emitting heat. It was a small furnace anywhere five feet around Raven. But the Sentry seemed unaffected by this.

"Where is your medical bay?"

"Upstairs, third door on the left." Cyborg said. "What happened back there?"

The Sentry looked at Raven. "I don't know...Our energy reaction had some sort or effect. There was a link." He looked at them. "Who is Trigon?"

The four Titans froze and looked at each other. Beast Boy and Cyborg looked at one another, remembering their trip inside Raven's mind, a vacation they never wanted to go on again. Robin had done his own research on Raven, and had been briefed by Batman. The fufillment of Raven's past would have...disastrous consequences for the world. Trigon to Starfire was the representation of evil, a destroyer known throughout the universe for his cruelty and brutality.

Raven stirred briefly. "Trigon...Trigon isn't important. Not anymore. You're here...and everything has changed..." she lost consciousness again.

The Sentry gently laid her down on a bed on the medical bay and Cyborg powered up the diagnostic equipment.

"There appears to be some kind of...flux going on with her." he said. "Two forms of energy are interacting in her, down to the subatomic level. These two signatures are somehow merging. Into what, I don't know."

"Stay with her." Robin said. He then looked at the Sentry. 'We need to talk."

That was cut short by a chirp of a communicator. The Sentry pulled out a slim black comm unit and answered it. He then said "Disengage the stealth fields."

A loud POP could be heard from outside, and a slight pulsing could be felt throughout the Tower. Everyone except Raven looked outside through the medical bay's large windows. Hovering some eight stories off the ground was a large ship made of a gleaming, silvery metal. The ship was slightly larger than an aircraft carrier with rumbling engine modules in the rear. The hull appeared solid, with no visible seams or welds as far as anyone could see.

A small bluish glow filled an empty part of the room, and a second later, CLOC materialized into view.

"Status?" the Sentry inquired.

"System integrity at 100.0 percent. Tesseract systems are fully functional, dimensional waveguides tuned. The phase-space is stable. The only anomalous point of concern is the item in Cargo Hold 47. It's resonation has only continued to increase. The egg will break in 4 standard days."

"What is in Cargo Hold 47?" Robin asked.

"That's unimportamt for now. It is no danger to any of you."

Cyborg and Beast Boy swarmed around CLOC, who seemed uncomfortable with being stared at. Cyborg had deduced that CLOC was some kind of artificial intelligence and was asking all sorts of technical questions, while Beast Boy just took turns staring at CLOC and at the ship. Starfire took a seat next to Raven.

"Would you like a tour?' he asked. "It would explain infinitely better who I am...where I came from, than I could."

"Dude, sweeet!" Beast Boy crowed. Cyborg seemed very interested. The power reading he got from just preliminary scans of the ship were...incredible.

Everyone made to exit the medical bay, Raven was dead to the world and wasn't going anywhere. A sudden thump made everyone turn around. Raven was awake again, and struggling to stand up. Through force of effort, she managed to stay standing.

"Friend Raven, you must rest!"

"No. I want...I need to see this. there's something on his ship...I can feel it, even here. It will change everything. I know it. I need to come with you."

"All right, but if you start feeling weak again, say something. Don't keep it to yourself." Robin ordered.

Less than ten minutes later, everyone was outside, looking up at the ship. It was making Robin nervous, something so massive hanging over him.

"Do the honors, CLOC."

With a slight beep and a flash of blue light, the surroundings shifted from outside to several hundred feet off the ground, surrounded by white, shining metal. They were on some kind of bridge, large, but it could be operated by one person. There was a console brimming with holographic displays and controls, and one padded chair.

"This is the bridge, of course."CLOC said. Many ship function are automated and routed through my logic array, except navigation and the primary drive unit. There is a small dormitory down that hallway," a metallic tentacle pointed to a door down a hallway on their left.

"Much of this ship is a warehouse, of sorts. We have travelled to many places, and we have in our posession items that are truly priceless. They are housed in the primary tesseract."

"You have a functioning tesseract?" Starfire asked, speechless. "I have only seem one other, and it was in horrible disrepair."

"What's a tesseract?" Beast Boy asked.

"A tesseract," CLOC cut in. "is a device capable of creating a phase-space, an artificial holding area, if you will. The limits on this space are nonexistent. It is a bottomless pit, to coin a phrase."

"Your energy requirements for this must be immense."

"It is. However our primary power core is more than up to the task, along with powering the rest of the ship's primary systems. The materials to create one are not present here, so it is also one of a kind."

"What do you mean 'not present here'? Where are you from?" Robin asked.

The Sentry walked to a massive door at the far end of the bridge. Tapping a control, he opened it and it slid open, revealing an inky blackness beyond.

"Come with he, and I'll show you. You will be quite interested." They followed him through, and the doors closed.

The next room was pitch plack, no light at all. There was an impression that it was large beyond imagining. It had that vibe of space.

"CLOC, lights."

Massive lights snapped on at the rooms ceiling, which seemed hundreds of stories high."

"How...how is this possible?" Robin asked. "Your ship isn't that large."

"A tesseract can create a near-infinite space. The only thing that matters is to energy requirements to create this."

The Sentry led them to a small circular platform, which lifted off as soon as everyone was aboard. It seemed to rise forever, countless vaulted doors whizzing by, all numbered. Finally it stopped. Looking down, Robin could not see the floor.

They were in front of a vault door. It was labled CARGO HOLD 3452: CELESTIAL

The door opened, and they stepped in. Seeing what was inside, everyone involuntarily stepped back, except for the Sentry.

The room appeared to be over ten miles high, and what was in it easily dwarfed anything any of the Titans had ever seen before. It was a suit of blackened armor, massive beyond reasoning. It was humanoid, but that was all it was. There was a large crater in it's chest area, and there were pieces of the armor that seemed melted.

"X'Hal..." was all that Star could say.

"What is it?" Raven asked, although she felt somehow that she knew what this creature was.

"It's called a Celestial," the Sentry said. "many years ago, eight of them decimated my world and exterminated all life there. I am the last survivor."

"But you're human." Cyborg asked.

"In a way, although I have since moved far beyond being a mere human. No offence." he directed to Robin.

"I came from a paralell Earth, a quantum reality different from your own, and I'd like a fresh start. Here."
