Chapter Four

Two Ravens don't make a Right

Brother Blood sat and watched his teen captives race trough each other's mind trying desperately to get free. As he saw in utter delight at their dilemma the timed explosive behind him sat quite soundly. Then suddenly it clicked back on and the countdown resumed. Blood's eyes narrowed at the sound and he turned in his chair to see the ticking bomb. His eyes widened and rushed over to the timer. His hands weren't but inches away from it when the numbers began to move faster. They sped along until they slowed back down to their original speed at thirty minuets and twenty five seconds.

"I should've known," he muttered under his breath. How could he have been so naïve to believe that Robin's device could be so easily neutralized by the push of a button? Now not only was it back on but because he tried to tamper with it the countdown sped up for a moment and he lost ten precious minuets. He turned back to his chair and came face to face with Cyborg.

"Where do you thing you're going," he asked slyly pointing his arm cannon at Blood. Blood staggered backward in disbelief.

"But-but how? I deactivated your"-

"Man you've got a lot to learn about my systems, those blue prints you looked at are old news now. I'm a different configuration now." Blood scowled for a moment then let a smile creep across his face.

"It matters not, but your not enough to stop me!" his eye glowed red and he concentrated on Cyborg. Cyborg stepped forward and shoved Blood against the wall and kept him there.

"You're whacked out brain power might have worked while I was out but not now!" Blood scowled and cursed silently. "You know for a big bad guy you're pretty stupid." He said with a wide grin (A/N: I really think that as a main villain Brother Blood is kinda weak). He forced Blood back into his chair; taking a binding from the unconscious Robin's belt he tied Blood to it. "Now finish your job because I really don't wanna get blown up." He turned Blood's chair back around and made him face the others. Blood was absolutely furious; he had gone from being in control right back to doomed prisoner in a matter of minuets. Reluctantly he reengaged his powers and searched for Raven and Robin who had yet to enter Beast Boy's mind. He closed his eyes and when he re-opened them he was in outside Titans tower but more specifically in Beast Boy's dream world. He then outstretched his hand and a form of Raven appeared and began walking up the walkway and to the tower. Blood could tell this was going to be a sight to see and vanished just as a small portal appeared.

Seconds after its appearance Robin and Raven fell through it and landed in a crumpled heap. The portal closed and they both sat up. Rubbing her head Raven looked around to see if her friends made it along with her.

"A bit bumpy," she remarked getting up.

"Yeah well, we'll be sure to watch that reentry next time we decide to do a little mind jumping with each other," said Robin dusting himself off. Feeling jealous that she hadn't thought of that bit of sarcasm herself Raven noticed Cyborg wasn't with them.

"Uhh, where's Cyborg," she asked looking around. Robin turned his head in all directions looking around for the teen robot but saw no sign of him.

"Blood powers must've only allowed one of you to come with me," hypothesized Robin.

"Great! You two barely got through my world, how do you intend on freeing Beast Boy when one of us is gone?"

"No worries Raven its only Beast Boy, I mean how hard could it be?" Raven let out a sigh hoping Robin was right about his assumption. The two made their way up to the tower and were both in for a surprise.

INSIDE TITANS TOWER………………….

Robin and Raven moved inside with no difficulty and promptly made their way to the common room. They slipped inside and caught site of Beast Boy sitting happily on the couch watching TV. They were about to make a move toward him when they heard someone working in the kitchen. They turned and saw Raven putting an assortment of meals together on various dishes. They jumped back behind the door and tried to take into account the unexpected appearance of Raven's counterpart.

"Damn it! I was hoping we wouldn't run into you," said Robin running his hand through his hair.

"I'm sorry I'm such an inconvenience," remarked Raven folding her arms.

"What I meant was this will be just like your dream where we had to break you away from fake Beast Boy. What we have to do is make BB see fake Raven for what she is, the only problem is that now there's two of you."

"Why wouldn't I be more believable," asked Raven peaking through the door.

"He's been with her longer; naturally he's going to give her more credibility," said Robin going into thought. Alright here's what's going to have to happen…," he whispered in Raven's ear and her eyes widened and she began backing away from him.

"Sorry Robin but your motorcycling down the wrong street I can't do that, especially not in front of the real Beast Boy." Robin grabbed Raven's shoulders and pulled her back over to the door.

"Do you care about him?" Raven scratched the back of her head and nodded.

"Yes very much but you don't understand, he's not supposed to know that! You're not supposed to know that, and the reasons for secrecy is that it's too dangerous for me to express emotion epically love."

"You wanna get out of here? Yes? Then we're going to have to let a little bit of that pride go for a while. Okay?" Raven gave Robin a death glare and stiffly turned back to the door.

Beast Boy sat watching one of his most favorite comedy shows with absolutely no cares in the world. Raven then set a tray down on the table in front of him.

"Here you go Beast Boy, your very own tofu feast," she presented the food with a wide smile. Beast Boy's eyes nearly popped out of his head, feast was an understatement; what she has 'cooked' was a tofu smorgasbord. She sat down next to him and awaited his approval. Beast Boy goggled at the two great loves in his life; Raven and tofu.

"Okay Raven, I don't know why you're acting so weird but DUUUDE! Don't you stop for even a second!" With that he began devouring the large meal to his hearts content. Raven and Robin had been sneaking their way around the room to a closer hiding spot. Raven had been watching the scene and nearly fell backward out of shock.

"Can't that knot head tell that's not really me?"

"Give the guy some credit Raven, we're all practically drunk in a dream state," said Robin taking another peak at the happy couple. "Alright it looks like Beast Boy's getting up now's your chance go!" Raven reluctantly disappeared beneath the floor and reappeared by the refrigerator which Beast Boy was currently going through for a soda. He straightened up and closed the door. He opened his soda and his eyes fell on Raven. Raven stood before him and didn't say a word while Beast Boy stared back in wonder and confusion. He looked over his shoulder and saw Raven sitting on the couch waiting for him. He looked back at real Raven who had moved a little closer.

"Ummm, who are you," asked Beast Boy.

"Who do you think? I'm Raven now come one we've got to get out of here." She grabbed Beast Boy's hand and moved toward the door, Beast Boy however didn't budge an inch.

"Raven, is sitting over there," he said pointing behind his shoulder. "Now tell me who you are or we'll have to get rough with ya." Raven rolled her eyes.

"Listen Beast Boy; we're not really in Titans Tower, your not actually about to eat the largest tofu feast ever prepared in history, and that's not me sitting over on that couch." Beast Boy was giving her a look of pure lunacy, Raven noticed she wasn't getting anywhere and decided she would have to go through with Robin's plan. Gritting her teeth she lowered her hood and walked up to Beast Boy.

"If this isn't proof enough that I'm me and she isn't then I might just leave you here." Trying her best to contain her powers she leaned forward to give Beast Boy a kiss. As she leaned forward Beast Boy leaned backward. Raven finally leaned so far forward that she lost her balance. She fell forward and was sure she was going to smack face first with the floor. But she never hit the floor; she looked up and saw Beast Boy had caught her. He quickly helped her up, all the while fake Raven sat waiting on the couch and Robin remained unnoticed. Raven straightened up and found a smiling Beast Boy. He seemed to have reflexively caught her, as if it was simply out of instinct.

"Sorry, I really don't know what to think," said Beast Boy looking down.

"Beast Boy who are you talking t"- asked Raven looking over the couch. She stopped when she saw real Raven and Beast Boy just staring at each other. "BEAST BOY!" Beast Boy jumped ten feet in the air and spun around.

"Raven, I uhhh, I'm sure there's an awesome explanation for all of this," stampered Beast Boy. Raven took Beast Boy's shoulder.

"Beast Boy no matter what she says remember who's who." Fake Raven walked out from behind the couch and approached Beast Boy. She smiled sweetly and held out her hand.

"Come on BB, lets get back to your meal and then we can go to your favorite hang out."

"Think about it Beast Boy, when have I ever like going to a pointlessly loud and obnoxious room filled with nothing but flashing lights. Honestly I can't see how you haven't already had a seizure." Beast Boy kept looking back and forth between the two Ravens. He had to admit, the choice was getting more and more difficult. One of them was sounding much more like the usual Raven and therefore most likely the real one, however the other was almost everything he'd ever wanted. He was never sure if Raven cared about him like he did her, but to him that just wasn't enough. He knew perfectly well that Raven's powers made it almost impossible to have a relationship with her.

"I should've known it was too good to be true," he said under his breath. While this went on Robin was currently moving along the ceiling until he was suspended directly over them. He lowered himself down a bit and readied another bird grapple. Fake Raven took a step closer to Beast Boy, real Raven's eyes narrowed and she did the same.

"Get-away-from him," she hissed at her mirror image.

"You get away from him! Beast Boy we've been having such a good time your not going to end it now, are you?" Beast Boy suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to get back to his fun and forget about everything else. He began to move in his dream's direction when real Raven tugged at his arm.

"Snap out of it Beast Boy, you've got to end this now so we can get back to the real world and put Brother Blood back in jail." Beast Boy turned his head. "Yes I said Brother Blood, we've been under his control and chances are she's just another illusion like everything else in here." Both Ravens were now so close that he barely had any room to move around in. "Beast Boy.."

"ENOUGH!" Fake Raven boomed out loud and blasted her real counterpart across the room and under the table. Before she could do anything else fake Raven was bound by a strong rope. She looked up and saw Robin swooping down on her. Her eyes glowed and he stopped in mid fall. She broke free of the bonds and with a wave of her hand Robin smashed against the wall and slid to the floor. She was about to continue on Robin when a chair flew up and hit her hard in the back. Raven had recovered and was already on the offensive. Fake Raven zoomed over to her and they waged an all out war. Beast Boy went over to Robin and helped him back to his feet.

'Raven never attacks any of us', thought Beast Boy. 'At least, as long as she's not annoyed.' Both Ravens were currently battling each other to the extreme. They both sent various objects at each other trying to knock the other out. Raven wrapped the fake up in a ball of energy and did her best to hold her there. With a sudden burst she broke free and tackled Raven into the table. They struggled around so much that the table cloth slipped off and covered the two of them. Robin and Beast Boy stood in front of the covered wrestling match. Finally the table cloth was thrown off and the two Ravens stood up side by side. Robin quickly took out a bird-a-rang and took aim. Both Ravens quickly stretched out there hands.

"NO WAIT!" They said in unison. Robin raised an eyebrow but kept his weapon up. He gave a side ways glance at Beast Boy who was just as at a loss as he was. How were they supposed to tell; both sound, look, and fight exactly alike.

"Great," grunted Robin. "Alright, which one of you is it?"

"Me!" Again they spoke in exact unison. "It's me, don't listen to her! QUIET!" They had both faced each other with mad frowns.

"Dude this is so not my day," muttered Beast Boy. One of the Ravens turned in BB's direction.

"Remember what I said, you have to end this we can get out of here as quickly as possible."

"STOP REPEATING WHAT I SAID," boomed the other. Robin and Beast Boy sweat dropped when both Ravens looked like they were about to start strangling each other again.

"ALRIGHT DUDES QUIET!" Silence filled the room following Beast Boy's outburst. "Okay, I've got an idea. I'll ask a question, a question I know only the really real Raven could ever answer."

"Fine," both Ravens said crossing their arms.

"Alright, but before I ask it I have a confession to make." They both looked at him. "I went into your room Raven."

"So," said one shrugging her shoulders.

"You…WHAAT!" The yelling Raven suddenly grew large and in charge.

"There's your fake," said Robin pointing at the other Raven. Beast Boy then turned his attention on Brother Blood's creation.

"This dream is over!" He morphed into a bull and charged straight at her. She moved away but was stuck in place by Raven's powers. Beast Boy hit his enemy head on and she was gone. He changed back and Raven floated back down to the ground. "Can I wake up now?"

"Almost, there's still one more Titan and I'm going to need your help." Just then the main viewer came on and Cyborg's face appeared.

"Hey yall what's happening?"

"Fine," said Raven. "At least we are now," she said giving off the slightest hint of blush.

"Cyborg are you back in reality," asked Robin walking up to the screen.

"Yeah I must've woke up just before you and Rae got inside Beast Boy."

"And the bomb?"

"Still ticking but there isn't a lot of time life."

"Bomb? What bomb," asked Raven. Beast Boy was looking pretty curious himself. "Did Brother Blood set it?" Robin was sure they were going to hate him for this.

"No, I did." Raven and Beast Boy's mouths hit the floor.

"DUUUDE, you mean if we don't wake up in…how much time," he asked Cyborg.

"Twenty five minuets."

"Twenty five minuets! If we don't rise and shine by then we'll all be very dead!"

"Calm down Beast Boy there's nothing to worry about," said Robin. He turned his attention back to Cyborg. "Keep a watch on Blood, we're almost done." Cyborg gave him a nod and the screen went black. "Okay, time does move differently in this place so hopefully we'll make it back with time to spare." The two other Titans nodded and prayed at the same time.

"So who are we splashing water on next," asked Beast Boy. It was then that Robin finally realized what was coming.

"Starfire," he muttered. He walked over to the door but before he could walk through it Raven took his shoulder.

"Robin, are you sure you can do this?"

"We don't really have a choice do we?" He gave the two of them a reassuring smile and opened the door. Just like before they were engulfed in a bright light and taken on their last mental journey.
