Chapter 11: The Mirror
For awhile Robin couldn't see anything but darkness, however after a few seconds he could see what Beast Boy and Cyborg had described when they went into Raven's room without her permission. Now he knew what the pink Raven had been talking about, and that was that she was part of Raven's meditation mirror which acts as a portal to her mid. Robin started to look around, when he spotted Michael, he looked at him for a bit. It seemed to him that archangel was confused or inquisitive.
Michael, sensing Robin's gaze, said without looking at him, "I have been to the deepest circle of Hell, and yet I have never seen a place like this."
Robin was astounded, he knew more than Michael on something. This seemed to bring Michael down at a level where Robin could talk to him at ease. "Not many people have. I only know this place because my friends were stupid enough to invade Raven's privacy and then, go and get themselves sucked into her mirror." Michael chuckled, which encouraged Robin more. "Yeah, they came back all sheepish and stuff. Now Beast Boy's all, beware her wrath and knows better than to make Raven angry. But Cyborg," He paused to think, "he's acted more like a big brother ever since that happened." Robin looked around a bit, "They said this was a portal to Raven's mind, you know, so she could keep all of her emotions in check, literally."
Michael seemed to catch on and said, "Ah, now what the pink Raven comes to mind. This mirror is to be used as a tool to make everyday life easier not to escape from it."
Robin nodded, that had come to his mind also. The he looked around, "Hey, now that you mention it, where'd she go?" Both of them looked around to find that they were completely alone and had no idea how to get out.
::On a distant arch::
Dove hugged her bestfriend back tightly. She was glad that Raven was really opening up to her. All of a sudden Raven got tense and drew back from her friend. "Raven, what is the matter?"
"My doubles are disturbed by something," Raven stood up on the arch and closed her eyes. Dove got up to follow her friend, she was worried about what she was going to do. Raven opened her arms and said, "Azareth, Metronom, Zinthos." Then Dove, Raven, and the arch they were standing on were surrounded by Raven clones.
"Oh my..." muttered Dove.
"What's the matter...," Raven looked around in search of one that would tell her, "Ah Pink, explain yourself."
A Raven in a Pink cloak stepped forward looking sheepish. "Um, well...,"
"Just spill, Happy!" Raven said impatiently.
"Okay, well, when I was talking to Green about the white one you have beside you and then she said that there were two men outside looking for her and they were getting worried. You know how I don't like people getting too strung out when there's something that I could do for them. So, after being prodded by Purple," She shot the Purple one a nasty glare, "I decided to go outside the mirror and bring them here." Then there was a mix of gasps, crying sounds, angry yelling for all the different Ravens. "I'm sorry," muttered the Pink one.
Raven looked to the side at Dove, who looked back wondering what she was going to do next. Raven sighed and looked back at Happy, "It's alright, I'm sure that it's for the better." Raven opened her eyes to find that Pink was being strangled by varies Ravens, mostly the violent ones. "Hey, what's happening here???" Pink was then dropped and the Ravens that were holding her looked down at their feet. "Pink didn't do anything wrong."
"I didn't???"
"No, you didn't. I'm not allowed to hide out here and that includes anyone I bring here. Now where are they now???"
"Um...," Pink looked around.
"Oh don't tell me you don't know where they are!"
"Um, well, Raven, when you called I had to leave their sides and come to you directly."
"Pink Raven," Dove finally spoke up, "do you mean that my father and Robin are now wandering unguided through Raven's meditation mirror??" She nodded. Dove looked over to Raven, "Is this when it is appropriate to say, 'Oh shit,'?"
"Yes, this would be the time Dove." Raven then sat down and put her head in her hands.
