"What's up with this thing? It must be broken or something!" Beast Boy was sitting upside down on the couch, eyeing the screen. In the past 10 minutes or so, Kerri's yellow dot still hadn't move.

"It's not broken. Our communicators tracking devices are working fine. If something was wrong with her particular communicator tracking device then you probably would even see a dot." Robin pointed out. Beast Boy sat up in the couch in a normal way and examined the screen.

"Still, Beast Boy is right. She has not moved from her original position one step." Starfire flew up to the screen, and then she gasped, "Is it possible that something could have happened to her when you ended the transmission?"

"I wouldn't know." He picked up his communicator and was about to call her again when Raven spoke up.

"I'll go check it out." She stood up and marked her place in the book she was reading, "I'll teleport there and see what's going on then come right back."

"Why?" Beast eyed Raven, "You don't even like her."

"She's part of the team. I can't just leave her there without knowing if she's ok or not." Raven was annoyed by his stupidity, "Besides, if you go, we have to wait for you to get out there then come back. It'll be quicker with me."

"Makes sense to me. Go ahead Rae." Cyborg added. Quickly after Raven was gone, and a yellow dot appeared near Kerri's dot. It was Raven.

Raven found herself in what appeared to be some sort of carnival which broke down along time ago. It was in ruins everywhere she turned. She looked ahead to where Kerri was supposed to be. She found the entrance to a Hall of Mirrors.

"What in the world is Kerri doing in a place like this?" Raven asked herself quietly. She entered, slowly. The farther she got in the stranger it felt to be there. She then reached this one peculiar room. Before the mirrors were just a bit old, and dirty. All the ones in this room were broken. She stepped forward to examine one of them.

"What happened here?" She yet again asked her self. She then grew a tad worried. What if Starfire was right? What if something happened to Kerri. Raven examined the floor, but her communicator wasn't in sight. Suddenly Raven heard voices. She looked in the direction they were coming from. They were going down the next hallway. She listened closer. She was unable to understand what it was saying, but she reconsider it. There was no mistake. That was Kerri.

"Kerri...?" She asked stepping closer to the hallway. A new voice was introduced. Still, Raven was unable to understand the words, but she also reconsider this one. She didn't know who it belonged to though.

"Kerri?" She said louder, walking closer to the voices. This time she got a response.

"Raven?" Kerri's voice then sounded as she stepped into view. She was perfectly fine. She just looked surprised to see her, "What are you doing her?"

"I was just to ask you the same thing..." Raven replied.

"I told you this morning I had something on my mind. I just found myself coming here to think it through."

"Did you resolve the problem?" Raven asked in curiosity.

"To some extent." Kerri answered, "I got past the hard stuff." Raven eyed Kerri remembering the voice she heard. Her eyed focused on the area behind Kerri. There was no one there.

"Who were you talking to? I heard voices..." Raven asked. Kerri's eyes widened and she was slow to answer.

"Robin just called."

"He called quite a while ago. Who were you talking to just now?" Raven found herself starting to become not very trusting of Kerri like before.

"He called a second time." She replied quicker but spoke quickly, "Probably because I took too long. I dropped my communicator on my way out and he contacted me right when a found it." She put on a smile.

"You seemed surprised to meet me out here. Did he forget to mention that I was on my way in his transmission? Because I must have been gone before he called." Raven felt herself becoming a tad angry with each step closer she got to Kerri telling a big lie. Suddenly a mirror in the room behind broke to pieces. Kerri jumped and looked at the mirror then her eyes slowly gazed back to Raven.

"Raven..." She slowly said, "What's going on?"

"you're lying!" Raven shouted at Kerri, and one of the shattered mirrors in the room she was in broke even more. Kerri stepped back into the room she was just in.

"Raven, I don't know what-" She started but was interrupted.

"Don't give me that!" She yelled, "Is this a new habit , or have you been lying to us the whole time?" Kerri looked away and didn't respond. Her entire body language said "I'm sorry..." And Raven wasn't too happy with this response.

"The whole time? Have you really been lying to us that long? Since the beginning?" Raven's felt herself starting to lose her temper, but she did her best to stay under control.

"Raven, you don't understand." Kerri shouted at her, "I was just-"

"I knew you were like Terra. I saw that similarity and was hesitant to accept you. Now, all I see is the Terra incident happening all over again. Next I suppose I'll find out you've working for Slade, right?" Kerri didn't respond to that statement either. Raven got her answer from the body language yet again. Even if that last statement was more sarcastic, she didn't expect the answer she got, she pretty much hit the nail on the head. Raven went straight into shock by the expression.

"No..." Raven's voice was quieter, "You're not... Are you?"

"Raven, like I said, you don't understand." Kerri said. Fury started to build within Raven until she couldn't hold it any longer. She lost control. Kerri found herself running back into the room she had just entered from. Raven was pretty scary.

"I can't believe that you... you were lying the entire time." Kerri in a panic, looking for an escape almost ran into a mirror only to be surprised when it shattered in front of her. She turned around and saw Raven's appearance staring at her. Kerri sent a burst of wind at it only to see it shatter. It was a mirror. Then next to that mirror, she saw Raven again and was about to send wind at her when she saw Raven right next to that one. She was surrounded by Raven's reflection.

"Beast Boy trusted you." Shattered glass, "Starfire trusted you." Another mirror, gone, "Cybrog trusted you and so did Robin." Kerri broke two more mirrors. From where Raven could see her. Kerri looked like a trapped animal desperate for escape. Suddenly a great wind rose up and Raven blinked and when she opened her eyes, Kerri was gone. Raven's temper calmed down and she stepped into the room. In the center laid a Kerri's communicator, and bo-staff.

"Even I started to trust you." Raven said quietly.

"Raven said she'd be right back." Beast Boy pointed out back at the tower.

"Can you be patient for anything, BB?" Cyborg asked. Beast Boy just sighed and was about to turn on the TV when Raven showed up.

"Finally! What took you so long?" Beast Boy asked the second he saw her, then looking around, "Where's Kerri, is she on her way?" RAven didn't answer right away. Then she tossed him her communicator and bo-staff.

"I'm sorry Beast Boy..." Raven said. Starfire looked at the two objects and spoke up.

"These belong to Kerri... Raven, what has happened to her?" Starfire found herself asking. Beast Boy just stared at them. Robin and Cyborg looked to Raven.

"When I compared Kerri to Terra..." She paused, "I had no idea how accurate I really wa-"

"No!" Beast Boy yelled throwing the bo-staff and communicator to the ground, "You're lying! She wouldn't do that! She said that she would never do anything to hurt us, anything to hurt me!" Raven didn't look him in the eye, but continued speaking.

"Beast Boy, she basically said it herself." Raven's voice showed that she was upset, "She was even working with Slade, just like Terra."

"Quit comparing her to Terra!" Beast Boy's yelled at Raven, "You know nothing about her! They are both similar and different. Terra and Kerri are different people!" He then stormed out of the living room, either going to his room, or maybe even Kerri's room.

"Are you sure she's working for Slade?" Robin's asked when Beast Boy was gone.

"She was talking to someone, I recognized the voice but wasn't able to place a name right away. Now, I'm positive that she was talking to him."

That's my chapter. Yeah I know, still a lot like Terra's story. Truthfully I'm trying to figure out how to still make it different in the story because, from Kerri's POV I see the big differences, but the Teen Titan's POV is just Season 2's main plot rewritten with a new character. It's kind of starting to bug me. Pretty much, don't let this story make you leave because you've seen it before. The sequal makes it different.

Happy Holidays!
