Poor Starfire was about ready to pee her skirt as she and Raven found themselves stading on a narrow
platform that looked as though it would crumble any second. A dark sky surrounded them, and a few twisted
trees could be seen here and there, but they didn't look to friendly from Star's perspective. She glanced
at Raven nervously. The almost goth-like girl appeared unconcerned at her surroundings. After all, it was
technically her mind, why should she be scared? That didn't put Starfire to ease much, who knew what was
inside Raven's head.
Raven started forward wordlessly and Star took it upon herself to follow, hands crossed over her
chest and eyes darting from place to place nervously.
As they approached a tree, Starfire noticed three extremely cute, puppy-dog-eyed birds resembling
ravens. "Hello...." she said tentatively, uncertain of them and their intentions.
"Turn back," they chorused in plain old English. "Turn back!"
Starfire jumped and moved so that Raven blocked the bird's view of her. "Why do they wish us to turn
back?"
Raven ignored her for several moments as one of the birds flew slowly towards her. Raven extended
her right arm, and the bird perched on it. She stoked it's head gently and gazed at it as though it
brought back fond memories.
"Thay are from Azarath, my home planet. They are legendary birds said to guard the very gates of
Tartarus itself, so it seemed fitting that they would guard my mind." Raven raised her arm and the bird
flew off to return to it's kind in the tree.
"Is your mind as awful as the underworld then?" Star was afraid of the answer, and began to fear
for her very life when Raven nodded.
"It can be when one is not careful. Stay close to me." Raven set off again.
Star hesitsted just slightly, gazing perturbly at the birds and considering their warning. "Raven,
is it possible for one to die in here?"
Raven started to turn towards her, then seemed to change her mind and kept walking. "I don't know."
Starfire gulped audibly, then, with one last glance at the birds, ran after Raven.
Behind them the birds continued to chant. "Turn back, turn back.............."

"Please desist in your struggling." Beastboy forced Robin back down onto to couch. "You are to stay
put until such a time as Raven and Starfire return."
"Just wanna have some fun....." Robin pleaded, sticking out his bottom lip beseechingly. "Pweeze?"
"Fun is not permitted!" Beastboy was about to launch into a lengthy speech on exactly why Robin
should stay put, but was cut off when Robin tapped his shoulder.
"Tag, you're it!"
"What--?" Beastboy cried out in dismay as Robin made a break for it, over the couch, through the
kitchen and up the stairs.
"Catch me if you can!"
Beastboy looked confused, then angry. "Of all the childish.... Well, better go and find him."

oh boy, it's getting good now!
