Revolution was... interesting. I liked it better than Mad Mod anyway; I didn't like that episode too much. Finally, a break from Robin! The other Titans get to do stuff without him! Not that I hate Robin, but we needed an episode where the other Titans get to work together. Ah, and the humor was funny in a stupid sort of way!  My dad was there during the chase scene to tell me everything that they were making fun of, (until he started snoring) and some of the scenes were actually really funny. I could complain about the lack of Raven, but I always think about that in every non-Raven ep, so I won't. Robin as an old man was creepy. I kept thinking he'd do something like attack at the end, but he only grabbed the cane.

Anyway, this chapter I had a bit of trouble with a while back, so hope ya like it anyway. As you can probably tell, I like giving Timid parts in this fanfic... she's fun to write about. REVIEW!

If I owned Teen Titans, the seasons would go like this. Raven season, BB season, Starfire season, ANOTHER Raven season, Robin season, and Cy season. So I obviously don't own them now do I? 

Catrocks: I DO finish stories... Well, I finish fanfics anyway. Though this IS my first... I already have most of the ending down... I mean I'm not a Terra hater b/c of the little comment I added in chapter... uh I don't know which, but, yeah. How dare you say I have typos! DIE!

CloudsHalo: "Chappies?" heh, I don't know, guess I'm bored. Haha ok I'll stop. "Trust?" I'll have to find that story on here... (Searches) What genre is it under? Must... find... Aw well, I'll keep looking... Hee thanx! I shall try and update everyday!

Chapter 9: Back in Raven's Mind Again

The vortex appeared out of the sky, in Raven's mind. Beast Boy screamed, falling down to the ground. "Ow," He mumbled. "Dude, that was... AA!" He quickly scrambled out of the way of Cyborg, who landed with a thud where Beast Boy used to be. Ironically, Starfire and Robin, who had never come that way before, landed in more... dignified ways.

Robin landed easily on his feet, crouching, while Starfire floated to the ground. Glaring, Beast Boy brushed himself off, and stared around. "Whoa."

The whole place was... different. The Titans stared into a blood red sky, where they could see small planets and other strange things far away. A path of rocks still led the way, but they were pure black, and had small red lights lining them. Feeling uneasy, the Teen Titans stared around them.

"It's not supposed to be like this! I mean, it was still creepy... but this whole place is wrong!" Cyborg gawked at the small glowing red lights, remembering... "Oh. It's like this because..."

"We're in her mind. And it's changed," Starfire finished sadly. Oh, what has happened to you, Raven? She silently asked. She stared at tiny black birds with red eyes. They seemed to be all over the place, covering Raven's mind.

"It...it's terrible," A small voice spoke up. They all turned around quickly, ready to attack, then saw it was only Timid. Timid recoiled with fear at their violent reactions, but they stopped, and fell back.

"Go on," Robin urged her. Grey Raven shrunk into her long cloak, letting it fall protectively in front of her. Her huge purple eyes stared at the Titans, and she looked like a pale ghost.

"You s-shouldn't be here. I-it's not safe here!" Her eyes darted around fearfully. She was worried. More than usual.

Robin leaned closer. "Why not? What's going on?!"

Timid looked miserable. Also more than usual. "I warned her," She whimpered, "But nobody ever listens to me."

"Who?... Raven?"

Timid started to answer, but then squeaked as another emotion came from the ground. It was yellow Raven. She frowned slightly at the Titans, her cloak pulled tightly in front of her body.

"Finally! Someone smart!" Beast Boy exclaimed, relieved. Pausing, he was surprised not to hear some sort of sarcastic remark from the Titans. He remembered Raven wasn't there, so he went on. "Answer our questions, kay?"

"Why is Raven's mind so much more terrible than before?" Starfire asked innocently. Intelligence frowned, and looked around. She looked hurried.

"Well, I'm sure you know by now that Trigon has taken over," She began in her low, hurried voice. "And so has Hatred. So now... we don't have our dimensions anymore. There's only Hatred's dimension, and that's all Raven can feel. We're still here... but she can't really feel us."

The Titans blinked at her rather rushed explanation. "Whoa, whoa, whoa..." Robin slowed her down. "Wait a second... Do you know what's going on with Raven right now? And... Hatred?" Robin asked. "What the heck is-"

"That would be me." The two other Raven's cringed, and rapidly moved aside as a crimson shape came up from the ground. The Titans got ready to attack; thinking the red-cloaked Raven who materialized from the ground was Raven. Logically, because she looked just like her, now.

Hatred seemed amused, but her cold voice didn't show it. "Relax. I'm not your little... friend. Or perhaps now she has none, but her father, perhaps." Her voice seemed to be hinting at something. Her red eyes started at the disbelieving Titans, who still were prepared to attack. "You can't hurt me, and I can't harm you. Unfortunately," she added. "Not in Raven's mind."

After an afterthought, Hatred's eyes narrowed, giving her an extra creepy look. "Not directly."

"She is not... Raven?" A confused Starfire asked. Robin looked at Timid and Intelligence. The yellow-cloaked Raven shook her head.

"Although, you could say that now, Raven is her."

"Indeed," Hatred interrupted. "Now get out of my sight." The two other Raven's started to leave, obediently.

"Wait! I thought you couldn't hurt each other! We need to ask you about Raven-"

"Didn't you hear her?" Intelligence asked. "First of all, she SAID she couldn't hurt you... not directly. Secondly, we are not you. We are part of Raven's mind. And... Hatred rules here now." With a gloomy look, she held out her hands, which the Titans hadn't seen before, because of her cloak.

Now they say that shimmering black and red power circled both of the Raven's wrists. It made a sort of handcuff, with powers. Only a couple inches room was left separating Intelligence's hands.

"We can't disobey her," Timid miserably told them.

"...To make a long story short."

"That's correct. Now LEAVE!" Hissed Hatred in fury. Hastily, the two Raven's turned and flew off into Raven's mind. Cyborg noticed that they didn't use their powers.

Hatred turned to the Titans, a smirk growing on her face. "I see you've come here to get information. On how to stop Raven, perhaps? Forget it. The emotions are under my command. I control them, they no longer have a place in Raven's mind." Hatred gave a loathing glare at Robin. "While YOU..."

A strip of energy flared out, crumbling the rock underneath of Teen Titans. Starfire gave a small yelp of surprise, before reaching out to grab Cyborg to keep him from falling. Beast Boy changed into the first winged animal that came to his mind; a hummingbird. Robin, meanwhile used one of his gadgets to grab onto firm ground and swing onto it. Hatred, now levitating, watched with an expressionless look on her face as the Titans went to stand on rock.

"Like I said... no direct harm will come to you from me. Unless they get hungry..." Hatred added dryly, staring into nearby trees at the birds. Their four red eyes gleaming, they watched the Titans with interest. Beast Boy and Cyborg glanced at each other, remembering last time...

"You see... There is no point at remaining here any longer. But... enough with the talk," Hatred's eyes narrowed, and her voice got even colder and more serious. "Unless you remove yourselves from this place, you will be killed!"

The Titans immediately got into a fighting stance. Hatred eyed them coldly, undaunted. "We're not leaving until we get the other Ravens!" Cyborg told her angrily. Hatred stared at him, her eyes burning a hole through his forehead. She quickly read his thoughts. He wanted to get the other Raven's to somehow leave Raven's mind, and become White Raven once more. Hatred wasn't worried at all. He didn't think that would even be possible, but said nothing. Glaring at Cyborg, she smirked.

Unlike the other Titans, Starfire seemed to be using her brain for once. Looking confused, she stared at the others and asked, "But... I seemed to be informed, or misinformed, that the single way of exiting the mind of Raven was to journey and escape through the Forbidden of Doors?"

"What?" Beast Boy didn't get her long sentence.

"The only way to leave is through the Forbidden Door!" Remembered Robin, translating. "That's right, Star." Starfire beamed.

"Let us pass, Hatred, and we will leave," Cyborg told her firmly. Eventually, He said to himself.

Hatred scowled, and searched the Titans minds. In Robin and Cyborg's he found that they were planning to do something... but were not sure yet. They only knew that they would try to do something. In Beast Boy and Starfire's mind... Hatred blinked at the confusion in both of their minds. Not smart enough, she thought.

But the Forbidden Door IS the only way to get out... And I DO want them out...Hatred thought, while her face stayed impassive.

"I will give you time to go to the forbidden door. Now leave," But before she could disappear, she heard Beast Boy's mumbled statement.

"Remember how long it took before? Dude, it'll take AGES now, in Hatred's way creepy place..."

"I'll send a guide," Hatred growled, wanting them out. She had business to do, manipulating Raven's mind and other important things... And her little chat had already taken too long. She quickly chose what she took to be the least helpful Raven, and forced her to come.

As the Titans watched Hatred disappear into the ground, another Raven came quietly up behind them. They turned to see a gray-cloaked Raven, looking sad.

Great. Why not Intelligence, or even Valor? Why Timid? She was probably the least helpful. She didn't have important information, wasn't brave even to try to escape... Well, at least she's not annoying like Happy, Robin concluded.

Timid floated over the big gap in the path, away from the Titans. "Follow me," She quietly whispered. They followed her, racking their minds for plans. Beast Boy gave up within 8.5 seconds precisely.

"Dude, what do those handcuffs DO?" Asked Beast Boy curiously. Timid seemed to shrink a little.

That girl needs a better self-esteem, Beast Boy thought to himself.

"W...well, I don't really know exactly... But... I th-think they remove our powers, a-and force us to be under Her control," Timid told them, self-pityingly. "It... it hurts," She whined softly.

"Can you resist it?" Robin asked urgently.

"D...don't know..." Timid squeaked, looking horrified. Like SHE'D ever try. Robin frowned. Who they really needed, was Valor.

"Listen. We need help. Raven needs your help. We've got to get some of you guys out here, including Intelligence..."

Timid squeaked again with fear. "Out?" She repeated, her violet eyes huge. "Out the... Forbidden Door?! C...can't do that!" She hunched over, her handcuffed hands reaching to just barely grab the sides of her cloak and pull them in tightly.

"Why can't you?" Beast Boy asked impatiently.

"C...cuz it's Forbidden. Raven never wanted us to go out there."

"What is Raven doing now, I wonder?" Starfire blurted. The other's stopped to consider, thinking of what she could possibly be doing. Not something good...

"Do you know?" Cyborg asked Timid, who stared, eyes-wide.

"M...maybe. But... I... I'm not allowed to tell..."

"Figures," Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "Let's try again. Why. Can't. You." Gray Raven whimpered, but said nothing. She kept walking on, leading them to the Forbidden Door, which was still off in the distance somewhere.

"Never mind," Robin irritatingly said. "I can track her once we've arrived back."

Gray whimpered again, loudly. "Will you SHUT-" Began Beast Boy, but stopped seeing Robin and the others staring to where Gray had been looking.

A dark shape stood there, watching them with her four yellow eyes that glowed in the darkness. Her eyes narrowed as she gazed at the Titans. She smiled restlessly, eager to try out her new body. She saw one of the Titans gesture at her, she and swiftly disappeared from sight into the rock.
