A/N: PLEASE READ THIS! Remember last time when they kind of went hysterical at the end, I'm changing that. I will post a new end soon, but they are still in Raven's mirror. I'm also really sorry about the long wait, I've had like 3 out of state volleyball tournaments in a row! I'll really try and update once a week from now on. I also wanted to let you know that if your one of those many people who was very very confused, next week I'm putting a little recap of what happened along with the next chapter and if you want to you can go back and reread chapters 5 and up starting probably next week or the week after (I'll let you know), I am going back over them and rewriting what I think is confusing you. So stick with me for a while longer, again I'm sorry for not updating, and please please review!
Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Teen Titans!
PLEASE READ A/N!
All the Titans looked at their surroundings mouths agape. Robin and Starfire were full of questions waiting to be answered. Cyborg, realizing two of his friends were even more confused than he was the first time he came through here began a quick explanation of Raven's different personalities, making sure to mention the way out clearly. Beast Boy, one the other hand, was already finding his way off the large floating rock they stood on, to solid land. Beast Boy, as a crow, for transforming into his usual raven would make him think to much about the girl he had lost, was scouting the area. He wasn't willing to wait for the rocks to join, creating a path, as they had the time before. If he was going to do this, if he was going to help Raven before she got into anymore trouble, he didn't have time to wait, he didn't have time to depend on someone else to do it for him, he would have to go and do it himself, and he was ready to do that.
By the time Robin was satisfied with what he had learned about the mirror he had entered, though what he had learned was nothing compared to what he was about to see, Beast Boy had already found the land he was looking for. Land. This isn't what it was before, the land wasn't full of surprises or bright colors. There were trees everywhere, but they weren't full of green leaves and yellow flowers, these trees were a dead pile of sticks, struggling to keep themselves from collapsing to disinigrate on the ground. There was grass that looked like it had recently been alive, but at present it was as dead as the trees around it. The entire place looked as if it belonged in an old, black-and-white, western movie. No sign of life around Beast Boy wondered where the girl, or personality rather, that had approached him the last time he was here was, as well as why the land he stood on was so dead. Releasing his thoughts for the present, Beast Boy reluctantly made up his mind to go back for the other Titans and bring them to this place as well, he wanted to rescue Raven now, but was that possible without the help of his fellow Titans?
The others were wondering where Beast Boy had gone to as well. Knowing, or rather hoping, that he would return relaying important news, the Titans took note of their surroundings. The same four eyed birds circled them overhead, as if waiting for one of them to drop dead, waiting to feed on the flesh of the newcomers as a vulture would its prey. The Titans waited still, Cyborg having lost faith that Beast Boy would return as well as any hope of saving their endangered friend long ago, though when talking with the other Titans he made sure to do it with a sense of hope. Starfire wanted badly for her friend to return, wanted so much for Raven to be okay, and to be excepted by the people of her knew home again and was presently stuck between the same lose of faith Cyborg felt, and her relentless optimism. Robin was trying so hard to keep the team together he was at the edge of breaking himself, he was at the point he had to resist, more than anything else, the urge to yell at his team, to criticize them for every wrong move they made, as if yelling at them would help his situation. None of the Titans were in a good mind set, someone was going to have to pull them together, someone was going to have to make them a team again, but no one had the courage, or the enthusiasm to even try.
Beast Boy could see the Titans from where he flew with his sharper eyes, and just one look at them made him question the decision to go back. None of them looked like they wanted to be here, none of them looked like they had the same strong desire to help Raven he did. On the verge of turning back towards the barren land and finish the mission on his own Beast Boy convinced himself to change his mind set. This was a mission for all of them, he was not the only one on the team who cared about this girl, even if that's what it felt like sometimes, Raven had always told him self-pity was not the answer to your problems. No matter how you felt, she could always give you that feeling of guilt, she would have told him he was being selfish, she would have called what he was feeling self-pity, she would have told him to stop thinking about how bad his life was and to realize he had an entire team that supported and cared about him, and chances were, they weren't feeling any different. Just thinking about Raven, just knowing her well enough he could give himself the advice she would have given him, pushed him to return to the Titans. Carrying Cyborg in the claws of a Pterodactyl, and Starfire carrying Robin, Beast Boy led them to the land he had found without fail.
The approach of the land only added to the despair already lingering on the hearts of the Titans. A cold, lifeless world was not what they had been hoping for. Once they had landed and taken a good look at their surroundings Beast Boy chose to speak first, "Raven said their was something in her head, I have no doubt its Trigon," all the Titans bowed their heads at the mention of that name, all of them remembering their past experience with the villain, "It was Trigon last time we were here and it looks even worse this time." Beast Boy wasn't one to talk much unless he was making a joke, and he didn't like explaining things, but he wasn't willing to wait for Robin or anyone else to take charge. "I say we start walking until we run in to him or one of her other emotions and go from there." He didn't wait for a response, he didn't care he was taking Robin's job, if no one else was going to do anything he would do it himself and they could follow if they wanted.
And they did follow, Robin, nor anybody else protested against Beast Boy's leadership, non of them wanted to do it themselves, why not let someone else. And so they continued to walk, the whole time they saw nothing alive, nothing with the slightest hint of green. Every now and then Beast Boy would transform himself into some kind of animal and go ahead to look. The Titans solemnly talked, and when they did it was never about anything of importance, all they wanted to do was avoid the situation placed before them. Finally after about twenty minutes of walking Beast Boy flew back towards them as a falcon at full speed, landing and transforming back into a human, "There was light, green… I found something, hurry!" Beast Boy was ready to go, in all the dark, his falcon eyes had picked up life, it was small, almost like a little spot light on the grass, but it was life. And in that spot of life, sitting in a tree barely strong enough to hold the weight up, was a girl. A young girl had curled herself up into a ball in the tree, a girl dressed in a dirty and faded, but still a pale yellow colored cloak.
A/N: Hope you liked it! Sorry it took so long! So next time I'll try to put up a little recap and hopefully help you guess understand what I'm trying to say. Constructive criticism is appreciated like always! Please review! My reviews per chapter have been going down rapidly so that I'm only getting 2 or 3, I hope the twist this has taken isn't throwing you off, and if it is, please tell me! Review! Please! Thanks for reading!
