A/N: I finally wrote the next chapter, but unfortunately, its not quite as action filled as I had hoped. I hope you like it anyways! I'm afraid I might be getting to repetitive with the romance and friendship scenes, so be sure to tell me if you see anything you don't like! Don't worry about flaming, it just helps make a story better when you review. Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer: Same as always, I don't own Teen Titans, except in my dreams anyways…

They had been walking for what felt like hours. There was no sign of any of Raven's emotions, there was no notice of change in the landscape, and yet all the Titans, except Robin, seemed so at ease. They never got tired or bored or anxious. Their tranquility and trust was beginning to affect Robin as well.

It wasn't long before he no longer remembered or cared why they were there. He was getting anxious to use his weapons in battle, after all, how often did you get a chance to fight in a place as perfect as this. No one else seemed to care where they were going or how fast they got there, he might as well take advantage of the rare free time in land as ideal as this. And no sooner had those thoughts passed through his head than a large, bull-like man made his way from what seemed like empty space and pointed its threatening horns towards him and the others. Robin had remembered this creature as the mythological, Minotaur, apparently someone had taken their love for mythology a little to far and as a result created a beast bent only on destroying anything in it's way. For the creature had dug its sharp hoof into the ground for only a second, as if showing off its enormous strength, before making its way full speed toward Robin and the others, horns down and ready, eyes angry and red.

Robin and the other readied themselves for the attack. But no sooner had Robin dislodged his weapons from his belt than a piercing headache overtook his vision and mind. Three black beams, outlined in a white magical glow burst into the emptiness of his mind. The beams reminded him of something, or someone, he just couldn't remember what. Suddenly the three burst of light subsided and another black glow, this time in the shape of a bird, filled him mind. He knew the magical creature had a message for him, a message from a friend he had somehow forgotten. This bird was important to him, resembled someone close to him, how could he have forgotten! Getting angry with himself he tried to think, a large portion of him was tearing though every dark corner of his mind to figure out who it was this bird reminded him of. And yet an even larger portion, the part of him who knew how much easier, and more fun, it would be to forget about the bird and the person it resembled, to go back to the fight he had been so anxious to win-. 'I never take the easy way out' Robin told himself, 'I'll figure this out if it kills me, I don't give up.' Forgetting about the Minotaur, and the new land he had found, clearing from his mind most of what had happened in the last few hours. What was he doing before he got here, why was he here, how could he have forgotten something so important.

Robin was concentrating so hard, digging so far back into his mind, he felt as if he would burst, he felt so awful he just wanted to bang his head into a wall until he remembered something. He had felt like this before, many times before, and remembering his training Robin took a deep breath, relaxed his tensed muscles and began to sort his thoughts. He looked away from the image, took another breath, and looked back to it. The Raven began to take a new shape. 'Of course!' Robin thought to himself, 'The bird was a Raven! It was Raven, his teammate and friend he was here for! It was because of Raven he didn't have time to explore this new land! He needed to find the emotions! He had to remind the others of why they were here!' Both relived and frantic Robin hadn't noticed the new shape the bird had taken, looking at it now he noticed it was no longer just the black glow of Raven's powers in front of him but a body that couldn't have looked more real. It looked to him as if he could reach out and grab his friend by the hand and drag her back into reality. He wanted so bad to take Raven out of this dream world, he wanted so bad for the last few weeks to all have been a dream, but he knew better than anyone he couldn't just wish away his problems, no matter how long it would take, he was going to get through this, and he was taking the team with him.

The dream girl spoke "Thank you, Robin." She said, "for getting this far. What you did to help Intelligence was amazing. Your and the others help with her gave me enough consciousness to visit your mind now as I did once before." Having Intelligence as her only conscious emotion had clearly changed Raven's speech. And not only her vocabulary, but her tone, it was happier, as well as burdened. The usual monotone was almost diminished. "Robin you have to listen to me, you have to get out. I can't let you all stay here and risk being killed over me. I'm not worth your lives. For if you lose to any of the challenges my emotion will face you with, you will never be able to leave. You're in Grossness's land now. She won't want to deal with you one on one so she basically put you and the others in their own internal dream. I'm counting on you to get out of it Robin, and to wake the others up. Each of them thinks they are somewhere else, the people you are with right now are not your teammates, they are just images you created. Wake the others up and then to get them to Leave!" Her voice began to get frantic and harsh, "I'm serious Robin, this is no game! Wake up and get out!"

"Raven!" Robin answered her at last, "How-? But-? I can't leave you here, I'll do whatever it takes to find the guy who did this to you!"

"No! You-" Raven began to choke on her words, she struggled to say more but all she could do was cough and gasp the life giving air. She managed to form one last word, "Leave!" Before disappearing with a pain-filled scream.

Robin forced his eyes open and blinked a couple times to regain his original vision. Once he could see clearly, Robin noticed he was on his knees but otherwise in the same spot he had been before Raven's appearance. His teammates didn't seem affected and for that matter neither had the bull, for he was still charging toward from the same area it had started. He should have been here by now, he should have already attacked. Robin could only think of two things that could have resulted this way, either Raven had lapsed time. Or the information she had shared with him, or the portion of it that he had understood, meant that he really was stuck in some kind of dream, and in a dream, anything can happen.

The bull-man was close enough now for Robin to throw his explosive disks at it. So holding three between his fingers, he aimed at the ground just in front of the charging animal. Sure enough by the time the disks made contact with the earth it was just under the feet of a now very angry Minotaur. But the blast hadn't affected the beast as he expected, for the thing didn't look injured, only angry. After all, Robin had wanted to test his skills in this new land, he had wanted an almost invincible opponent, but if he had known his wish would come true… "Titans, Go!"

And no sooner had the words left his mouth than each Titan speed past him and towards their opponent. Robin, remembering Raven's words, put away his weapons and began to study the land for a way out of this dream. A dream! If this was a dream, there would be no secret passage, all he had to do was, wake up, open his eyes, the key to awaking from a dream was realization.

Shutting his eyes tight he readied himself for whatever lay in the reality he would see when he reopened them. But before he got the chance, another vision filled his mind. A girl that looked like Raven's twin, only she wore a orange cloak rather than blue or yellow. Robin, afraid to open his eyes and lose the vision that could hold an important message for him, waited for her to speak.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"What?" Robin wanted to get her message but he was in a hurry. If these really were dreams and if they were like any other dream, the longer you slept the more you got dragged in, and the harder it was to wake up.

"Are you sure want leave your friends here?"

"What do you mean? Is this not just a dream? Are they not just images?"

"How can you be sure? Do you know who I am? Do you really know anything about the people you've been talking to? Or where you are going?" As she spoke a noticeable sent of alcohol made its way to Robin's nose. "You've heard that some of the others would rather you be dead. How do you know what you are doing is the right thing?"

As if timed for effect, a scream made its way to his ears and sent shivers down his spine. He knew that voice, Starfire was in pain, that bull had done something to her. "Choose," The orange cloaked girl demanded, "Quickly! Only you have the strength to defeat the Minotaur, or you could ignore your friend's cries. You can once again just run away from your problems! Go ahead! If you think the fight is too much for you! Take the easy way out!" The drunken smell had filled the air and the girl in the vision began to flicker.

"Wait!" Robin was suddenly more fearful than he had been when the bull was charging toward him. "Can't you help me? I don't know…"

"This is your choice, defeating the creature you created is your job. I don't know what you want my help with." A soapy hiccup escaped the girls lips, though she didn't seem to try and disguise it much. "Your friends are waiting." The girl disappeared with a drunken giggle.

Robin wasn't sure what to do. It was clear to him the girl he had just talked to was drugged and not in her right mind. But Raven was laying unconscious in the infirmary, was it possible for her to contact him, even with Intelligence's help. If he left now, he would be leaving Star and the others in danger. But if the girl who claimed to be Raven told him the truth, he and the others were dreaming. Or maybe he hadn't understood the message she carried, maybe opening his eyes now and expecting to see the others asleep around him would be what led to a dream. Star needed his help, her scream sounded so real, she was in pain, could that kind of horror really come from a mere dream. Confusion filled Robin's mind. He was running out of time. Quickly going back over the speeches of the two girls, both claiming to be his ally, though one was clearly an enemy, Robin opened his eyes.

Starfire was sitting in the branches of a tree, Robin at her side. He held her hand lightly in his, listening patiently to her stories of home and past family. As she told him her stories, he began to open up more with her, he began to tell her of his troubled childhood, of his parents and friends. Robin's past scared Starfire, but she had known for a long time, the day she got him to open up like this, he would not have pleasant stories to tell. She no longer cared how frightening or miserable his stories were, for each time he got to a part he was clearly uncomfortable with, he did not flinch, when Star, with her arm wrapped around his waist, pulled him a little closer, and lay her head on his shoulder.

Where were the others? For some reason Starfire didn't care anymore. They had gone off playing some game, they would be back. But hopefully not to soon, so rarely Robin opened up to anyone like this, so rarely did he let her this close to him. She wanted it to last a lifetime. It was like a dream come true…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cyborg had been leading the group through Raven's mind, for Robin had gotten frustrated and offered him the chance, but now that he had gotten to this school building, he didn't really care much about leading the group anymore. In fact, he didn't even care why they were there anymore, and if he had, he probably wouldn't have believed it, for the school standing in front of him was identical to his old high school. The people walking through the halls were all the friends he left behind. And none of them seemed to notice or care he was half-robot.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Beast Boy had experienced numerous distractions, all the things he would have rushed for and spent hours with, if he hadn't known Raven was in trouble, if he hadn't been so worried about her. The game stations, relaxing oasis, weapons, and the other thousands of out of place but so tempting devices, that had slowly dragged the others away from their mission, and into the comfort of the things they loved. No matter how Beast Boy pleaded, they would not continue, they didn't seem to care for Raven's safety anymore, only he could help her now, only he had the strength and will to go on. And he would till the ends of time.

But he hadn't traveled far from the spot he had left the others until he saw a blue-cloaked girl sitting on the ground, head hanging, eyes staring sadly at the floor in front of her, her body looked weak, and her spirit broken, but Beast Boy knew, if any creature tried to make a meal out of this seemingly helpless young girl. It would find it had just made the biggest mistake of its life.

Beast Boy quickly made his way over to the girl and laid a hand on her gentle shoulder. She turned to face him, her eyes full of tears. He knew that face well, this was no emotion, another that seemed identical to their friend from the others point of view, but to him, there was no face like the real Raven's. There was no delicate appearance, yet such deadly air around anyone, but the girl he knew. And there was nothing like making that same girl smile, there was nothing like watching the girls eyes dance in pleasure, nothing like her sarcastic jokes that always brought a hidden smile to his and the others faces, there was no creature as beautiful as she. And there was never anything as unbearable, as to see her cry, and know you could ever do to understand the pain she experienced every day, to know there was nothing you could do to help her, no matter how you wanted to, no matter how you prayed you could take all her pain and make it your own burden.

Beast Boy sat down beside the broken girl, and wrapped his arms around her, letting her cry into his shoulder. He held her for a long time, not caring exactly why she was back, only that she was here now, and she needed him, he was going to be here for her till the end of time.

A/N: Like I said, not as action-filled as I hoped. I guess I tend to get caught up in these touchy character relationships to much. Anyways, the action isn't completely gone from this story, I promise, I have some action-filled plans for it, and I'll try not to let it drag on to much. Thanks for reading! Remember to review!
