WHERE DID ALL THE BEATLES FANS GO?! I mean it! Only ONE person knew the name of the song. I am sad and have lost all hope in ever uniting the world so that we really do all live in a yellow submarine.

Sob. Oh well! ;

Congratulations to Dark! Corny music starts playing. By all the power that is vested in me, I now declare you the new owner of the giant cyber donut! Applause comes out of nowhere.

Chapter 8

Raven was drifting... drifting in a pool of nothingness... serenity... darkness... She could almost feel herself spiraling downward into her own kind of nirvana.

She opened her eyes and was greeted with a vast plain of black, deep and dark as space with no stars to light it. Everything was silent around her. All, but her own mind.

Her thoughts echoed loudly through her head, questions with no apparent answers.

'Where am I?'

'How did I get here?'

'Will I ever get back home?'


She closed her eyes once more and tried to think of anything that may have led her here, to this place of nonexistence. Almost as if on cue, flashes of memories and distant sounds danced across her senses.

::Beast boy laughing about how he beat Cyborg at video games.::

::Robin saying something and all of them running out.::

::An army of black clad warriors.::

::"Titians Go!"::

::Starfire yelling for Beast boy to watch out.::

::His shocked face as the henchman ran toward him.::

::Her voice. Worried.::

::"Beast Boy!"::

::Pain. Terrible pain.::

::Strong arms around her, carrying her.::

::"You'll be okay, Raven."::

Then, as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone, leaving her alone once more and deeply disturbed.


"How many are here?" The doctor asked the old woman standing beside him, his eyes roaming the waiting room.

"Only two so far." The elderly nurse responded. "One of the young men and the other girl. The other two boys will no doubt join them soon."

The doctor sighed, looking back toward the nurse.

"Then we will wait until they are all here before we tell them." He said. He walked slowly down the white hall, long coat swaying behind him.

The old woman watched him leave. When she could no longer see him, she closed her eyes and shook her head sorrowfully, before heading back to her desk in the waiting room.

Everything was silent. All but her footsteps, echoing through the barren hallway, and her soft voice whispering quietly.

"Those poor dears..."


Cyborg quietly put the car in park and unbuckled his seatbelt. He opened the door and was about to get out, when he realized Beast boy hadn't followed suit.

He glanced over at the boy in the passenger seat. He looked as if he was deeply lost in thought, concentrating very hard on something. Something very difficult.

"Beast boy, we're here." Cyborg said, startling the younger boy from his daze, making Cyborg smile, beside himself.

Beast boy looked out the window at the huge building looming down at him. It seemed easy to get lost in its magnitude.

'Raven's somewhere in there...' Beast boy thought to himself as he stepped out from the car and began following Cyborg toward the large, glass doors of the entryway to the hospital.

'And I intend to find her. '


This chapter is a little bit longer than I expected it would be, but I'm not complaining!
