Chapter thirteen – When the going gets tough…

Eye to eye, the beasts glared at each other.

'Don't make me do this Raven.' Thought Beastboy, angrily. 'I don't want to hurt you.'

The Red Raven roared at the green T-Rex, showing no signs of the real Raven at all.

'Listen up.' Beastboy said mentally, 'I'm going to get her back. And you just try and stop me.'

"So this is our plan?" said Starfire, pulling on her boots. The titans had quickly changed out of their outfits, back into uniform.

"Yeah, that's the plan Star." Said Cyborg, narrowing his red eye. Robin clipped his belt around himself.

"You'd better prepare yourselves. We don't know whats in there."

"Beastboy," muttered Starfire quietly. "He will be alright?"

Noone answered. Robin stood up, his cape flapping slightly.

"Let's do it."

Raven lunged at Beastboy, her white eyes filled with rage. The green T-rex ducked and swung its tail, sending a red flash of cloak and hair flying.

BB stomped towards Raven and lunged at her, using his feet to pin her arms down either side.

The weight of the T-Rex obviously was holding the murderous Raven down. The azarathian screamed in anger.

There was an obvious pain in the green face, but he knew he had to hold her off for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, as thoughts swam around his head, he let off the weight a little. Raven saw the chance. Instinct totally taking over, she threw the beast off her and shot up, hair flaring brighter than ever.

She was well and truly furious, negative energy practically flowing off her.

The T-Rex had transformed back to a boy upon impact.

"Ow." Said BB standing up and rubbing his head. He looked up slowly.

"Now I'm in trouble." He said, quietly accepting his fate. Suddenly there was a blast which sent the red azarathian tumbling down into the floor.

"Not if I can help it, man." Said a voice behind him. Beastboy turned around slowly.

"Cyborg?!"

"What up, B."

"Whats up?!!" he waved his arms frantically. "My girlfriend has turned into a giant red monster who wants to kill me and probably you as well now, and I'm stuck inside a mirror portal!"

"Your girlfriend?!" said Cyborg, raising an eyebrow.

Beastboy's hands instantly drooped to his side. He flushed red. "Ah, yeah. About that…" he stammered.

"Hey, it's cool." Said Cyborg, putting his hand on BB's shoulder. "Are we cool?"

"Yeah. We're cool, dude." Said Beastboy smiling. A shadow suddenly cast over them.

They both looked up at the red Raven who was now towering over them.

"Raven, on the other hand…" said BB slowly. "…I think, has some issues."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"So, Robin tell me again what we are doing here?"

"We're waiting."

"Yes, I know this. But why?"

"Well, Star, we need to cover Raven out here, incase something happens in there. And seeing as there are four of us, BB and Cy are in the mirror, and we're out here. If something happens then we have options. If we were all in there then we'd have no options. Right?"

"I understand." Said Starfire, sitting on the dark bed next to her lifeless friend. "But I wanted to help…"

Her eyes welled up with anger and sadness as she looked over towards the Azarathian.

"We really hurt her didn't we?" said Starfire, holding the cold hand.

"I guess we did." Said Robin walking over and sitting next to Star. "But Raven is our friend. She understands."

There was a silence, broken by Starfire's snuffling.

"In a way," said Star, awkwardly, pausing to sniff. "In a way, I suppose we should have learnt a lesson from Raven."

"What's that?" said Robin, confused.

"Does she not always say we must 'control our emotions'? We did not. And now she is like this."

Robin put his arm around Star. "Don't cry, Starfire. It'll be okay. Beastboy and Cyborg will help her out. She'll wake up, you'll see."

"And what if they do not succeed." Said Star, turning round to face Robin. "What do we do then?"

"Don't worry. We've got a back up plan."

"What?!" said Star, looking up.

"Well, it's a long story. But basically, when Cyborg got stuck inside Raven's head last time with BB, he started experimenting with transmitters. He's modified all of ours so that now, if we get stuck in a parallel universe, the transmitter will still work." Robin paused and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.

"I guess when you live with someone like Raven then you prepare for the weird stuff." He said, lightly.

"Yes." Said Star, looking towards the motionless figure. "She is…special."

'Yeah,' thought Robin, silently. 'And so are you.'
