Chapter 10: A Mirror to the Mind
Beat Boy rummaged through Raven's room. Robin and Star watched, waiting to see what his plan was.
"Where is it?" Beast Boy cried, like he did when he lost the remote, which was a strangely upbeat tone for a time like this.
B.B. dropped to the floor, and turned into a lizard. He crawled, under the bed, and, with a thud, came out happy as he could be at this moment. In his hands was a mirror.
"What is that?" Robin asked.
"A mirror," Beast Boy said.
"Yes, that was can see," Robin said, "but why?"
"Because it isn't an ordinary mirror. This mirror is a portal into Raven's mind."
A smile crossed Robin and Starfire's faces.
"Now," B.B. said, "There is a good chance we may not come back. Five minutes, and we go. Until the, write a letter or make a video to someone close to you, in case we don't make it back. I'll be here. Hurry, please."
Star and Robin left to do what B.B. had suggested. While they were out, B.B. sat on the floor, and stared into space. He couldn't get the horrible images of what might be happening to Raven out of his head. B.B. was never much of a religious person, but he suddenly found himself praying they'd all come out ok. When he finished, he saw he only had two minutes till Robin and Star would be done.
Suddenly, a voice in his head spoke to him. Beast Boy didn't know it, nor would he ever, but the voice he was hearing was that of Nancy Thompson.
"Freddy's power is fear," it said, "and darkness. Remember this, and all will be well," it said.
Beast Boy looked up, and said a small thanks, just as it hit the one minute mark.

Meanwhile, Robin and Star had written their goodbyes. They headed back for Raven's room, stopping right outside the door.
"Starfire," Robin said sadly, "I...I love you. I just hope we make it out of here alright. Not just for our love, but for Beast Boy, and Raven too. We have to succeed, not matter what."
"Of course," Star replied to him with a slight smile.
The two hugged and gave what could be their last kiss to each other. They entered a few seconds afterward. Beast Boy looked up as he saw them.
"Are you ready?" Beast Boy asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Robin replied.
"Yes, ready," Star told him
"Then get ready Freddy, because you've never dealt with the combined powers of the Teen Titans," beast Boy said, and held the mirror to all of them.
A large flash of light was seen, and the mirror dropped from the air, and landed softly on Raven's bed, all alone in just one of the quiet, empty rooms in Titans Tower.
(Well, hope everyone likes this chapter. I might get another up tonight, if I have time. I've got an English paper to write, and a test to study for. I love writing fiction, but Persuasive writing sucks! Anyway, look for at least two updates this weekend, and maybe another one tonight. Thanks for all the great reviews so far.)
