A/N: Wow! Thanks for all the reviews in the last chapter, they inspired me to look over my whole idea again and I think its going to be a lot better from here on! Sorry it took so long to come out with this chapter, I'm planning on getting the next one up sooner, anyways, I hope you like it and please review! Thanks for reading!

Cyborg began to take slow steps toward the place he had once called home. He recognized all the classmates he had forgotten. He saw the different cliques, including the one he was a part of, the jocks, heading down the halls together. The Titans had seen the look of amazement on his face and decided not to disturb him. Robin, oh course, was the one that caught on to exactly what Cyborg wanted, "Let's go back to the tower guys, Cyborg will come when he's ready." And with that he led the others back towards the direction they had come. Cyborg silently thanked them as he continued to approach the well known building.

Opening the door slowly, looking all around him as he did, he saw the entire football team heading his way, waving and laughing. Cyborg, confused at first as to why his friends were waving to him after they hadn't seen him for so long and he looked so different, as well as happy they didn't seem to care or notice he was half robot, waved back as them. But there was something wrong, something different, and as he waved he realized what. Instead of a robotic, metal hand, was skin, his whole body was made of skin. He wasn't half-robot anymore, he was human!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Beast Boy, unlike the others, refused to forget their mission, no matter how much he was bribed or distracted, nothing could make him forget Raven. Unless, of course, he found her. He hadn't forgotten where he was or why he was there as the others had, but to him, it was as if he had finished the mission, as if Raven was finally back, that he could finally awaken her unconscious body in the tower. But he didn't want to.

After Raven had stopped crying she told Beast Boy why she was so upset. She had told him she had been waiting so long to be found and was relived when she saw him. But she was also afraid. Afraid for if she went back she would have to face the town she had attacked and the people who hated her. She would have to leave Earth, leave her home, leave the Titans.

Beast Boy had been so determined to get her back, so focused on seeing her face again, hearing her voice again, he hadn't thought about what would happen afterwards. Now he couldn't get the thought out of his head. He remembered the day this had started, a day as average as any other, he attempting to subdue his boredom, and Raven locked away in her room as usual. He remembered avoiding her door at all costs, how he knew she would just yell at him, insult him if he dared knock. He remembered the men at there door who had come to arrest her, the shocked look on her face as she flipped through the pictures, the hurt look as she accused him and the others of lying to her. And as long as he lived he would never forget the words she spoke before she had gone in for the trial that would decide her fate. After Beast Boy had awoken her from her meditation, her eyes had meet his, and the first thing he had heard from her in over a week "Do you really consider me just a friend?" He had never gotten the chance to answer her.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cyborg had joined his past classmates and began to talk with them about what he had missed. He even had a chance to talk to his previous girlfriend, Marcy Reynolds, who luckily hadn't started dating again hoping he would return. He had almost forgotten about the Titans completely. After all, if he was truly human again, they would have no use for him, he could go back to living the life he missed so dearly. There was never a bell warning them that class was about to start, and he was glad rather than suspicious. He yearned for the chance to talk to his friends for hours, he had waited so long to be human again, he had dreamed of it almost every night, and it was finally happening, there was nothing he wouldn't do to remain this way, even if it meant leaving the leaving the Titans forever.

After he had reunited with most his past friends and explained to everyone why he had been away so long he finally had some time alone with his previous and hopefully future girlfriend. He had been talking to her for almost an hour when she suddenly cut off abruptly in the middle of a sentence and began to speak again before Cyborg had a chance to question her. But as she spoke, her voice was incredibly different, higher pitched and frantic, she was speaking gibberish, something about a dream, about the Titans.

"Baby are you okay?" He took her hand and looked seriously into her eyes. "What's the matter? What are you talking about?"

"Cyborg, it's me!" He was surprised to recognize the voice as a friend's, but not his Marcy's. He listened carefully a little shocked, though after all he had seen as a Titan, the thought of something overshadowing his girlfriend or speaking through her did not shock him as much as it should have, " Me, Starfire!"

Oh course, how could he have forgotten Star's voice, but why was she speaking to him through Marcy. "What's going on? Where are you?" Cyborg was becoming frantic, for as soon as he realized it was Starfire's voice he was hearing he thought he could see her eyes to. Her dark blue eyes surrounded by green replaced Marcy's.

"I told you Cyborg, none of what you are seeing is real."

"No that's impossible!" Cyborg was yelling now and the image of his girlfriend was almost completely erased by the alien Starfire. "I want to stay here! Stop it!" Seeing Starfire replace what was Marcy forced him to think that she was trying to make him leave, make him go back to the tower with her and the others, make him become a cyborg again.

"But Cyborg, do you not understand, it is I, Starfire, your friend." The voice had become quiet and sad, but Cyborg, convinced it was a trick, didn't pay any attention to the hurt sound in her voice. "Cyborg-"

"My name is Vic now!" He shouted to her, wishing she would leave so he could talk to Marcy again, afraid that somehow by talking to her he would turn back into his robotic self. "I'm Vic Stone from now on; I will never be Cyborg, never again!"

"This is about your past is it not, about when you weren't a Titan? Please Cyborg, err, Vic, explain to me why you do not want to return with your friends?"

"This is were I belong Starfire, this is who I am. I never asked to be a Titan, I only agreed to it because as a cyborg, everyone rejected me."

"We did not reject you Cyborg, it wouldn't matter to us if you were half-robot or human. We would never reject you; you will always be a Titan."

"You wouldn't understand." Cyborg responded, though the way she was talking, he was beginning to think maybe she did understand, alien or not, when Starfire was serious about something, she seemed more human than anyone he knew.

"I understand how it feels to be different, to be abnormal," she pronounced the word with great difficulty, "but as others on Earth made fun of me, my friends, you and the other Titans, treated me as they would anyone else, even though I looked different and acted different, I always felt at home with you and the others. I no longer want to be normal, to blend in with the crowd. I love being a hero, I wouldn't give up having the Titans as teammates and friends for anything. If someone is going to reject you for looking different they are not really your friends."

Despite the fact that Starfire was beginning to sound a lot like an after-school-special, she was making more sense to him than anything or anyone else in the last couple hours. He couldn't find the right words, couldn't tell her she didn't understand for she obviously did, couldn't just tell her to leave him alone, for he knew she was right.

"If you stay there you are only escaping reality, and no matter how much you've wanted this and how long you've been waiting for it," He heard Starfire sob slightly as she said this her voice full of tears, she was speaking strait from the heart and possibly even of past experiences. "It will never be real, he can never really care about you if you stay. If you pretend where you are is reality, you'll be giving up on him." A much clearer sob escaped her voice now. And though he could not be sure, he was pretty sure he new what Starfire had dreamed about.

"Alright Star," He said quietly as he took one last look around him at all the friendly faces, and then back down at his new but fake skin, "How do I get out of her?"

Having snapped back to what she was doing, Starfire heard Cyborg ask her how to leave and was suddenly overjoyed. She had done it, she had helped her friend conquer his troubled past and had convinced his to awaken. Squeezing his hand and bending her head close he his ear she tried to copy what she had heard Robin say to her. "Try and follow my voice, focus on reality, try to feel reality." She said as she made sure to tighten her grip hoping he could feel it and follow it back. After a few minutes of encouragement and description of what he would awaken to she saw a portal like bubble much like what Robin had seen when she was coming back to reality. She looked into it and saw A large room where a huge group of teenagers, many of them very muscular and athletically built like Cyborg, trying to convince him to stay with them inside the school. But in reality Cyborg had began to twitch and his eyes flashed open. Starfire jumped up overjoyed and wrapped her arms around him, "Cyborg!"

"Hey Star, I missed you to." He smiled back.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Beast Boy began to ponder the question, and, finding it very hard to find an easy answer to the question, he was thankful for the silence Raven was providing for him. Why had the question popped into his head at a moment like this, he wasn't sure, was it because the answer was coming to him as he sat there with the frightened girl, was seeing the softer more dependent side of Raven giving him the base he needed to answer a suddenly crucial question? Was knowing that the girl didn't hate him, maybe even cared about him, as she had shown in the last hour or so they had talked and comforted one another, was knowing there was a side of this dark and lonesome girl that had brought about a side of him he had never felt before.

"Raven," he said quietly, still not sure of the words that would come from his mouth, "Remember when you asked me if I considered you as just a friend?"

The girl looked up at him hopefully; he saw her wet eyes but twinkling eyes, and at the same time, her black outfit and conservative dark blue cape, remembered the day she had hugged and held him close after the dragon Malcior had broken her heart, and all the times she had shut the door in his face and insulted his attempts to make her laugh. And though he had gone over these moments before and they had only confused him, he knew his answer lied in the girl sitting in front of him now, the Raven not afraid to show emotion, the one who allowed herself to be comforted by those around her, and because of this new side of Raven he knew his answer.

"I wasn't sure then, in fact I was incredibly doubtful, shocked," He didn't sound much like himself right now, but Raven liked sophisticated people right, this wasn't the time for jokes, "but I'm finally ready to answer, Raven I-" He was cut off by what seemed to be an earthquake. But that was insane, there were never earthquakes in, where were they again. Raven's mind! An earthquake, that must have meant that somebody outside the mirror was moving it. "What's going on!" He asked the girl in front of him, but she seemed totally unaffected.

As she saw Beast Boy's panicked look she asked, "What do you mean? You were just about…" She paused for a moment and blushed slightly, "To answer my question."

No way, Beast boy thought, Raven must have felt something like that, and it wasn't like her to ignore something so strange, especially to here the answer to a question about romance. "What's wrong with you!" He shouted without thinking, which he regretted immediately as he saw her eyes tear up again.

Nearly forgetting the shaking ground to comfort Raven, Beast Boy knew there was something wrong with the girl and this place. Even if he didn't want to admit it Raven wasn't herself, and this place may not be what he had thought earlier. When he had admitted there was something abnormal about what was going on was when he heard Robin's voice. A voice telling him that wherever he was it wasn't real, and whoever he was just in his imagination. A voice telling his that if he wanted to save Raven, if he ever wanted to see her or his friends again he would have to leave the world he was in and return to reality.

Beast Boy understood the words Robin spoke, but they refused to register. A large portion of him would rather stay here then return to the reality he dreaded. It was then he realized he had known what was going on for a long time, that a portion of him knew that this must be a dream, or something like that. But it was all so real, he had the choice whether to stay or go. And there was a tug-of-war inside his head. The part winning, was the part of him who knew this wasn't real, knew what awaited him in reality, and had already given up hope on any chance of succeeding his goal there. That same portion of him would much rather have stayed with the girl who cared about him, the girl he had finally realized he had cared about. That part of him had convinced him that in reality he would have to get Raven back into her body and conscious, and after that, he may never see her again, and why should he, for that same Raven hated him. That portion of him was so convincing in its look into the future of the dream, a world where all the pain and destruction had never occurred, a world where Raven and the others could be Teen Titans forever, where the world still depended on them for safety instead of wanting them in jail. The portion of him that wanted to go back to reality and awaken Raven was growing smaller and smaller, and Beast Boy was falling deeper and deeper into an endless sleep.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Back in reality Starfire and Cyborg had joined Robin in trying to awaken Beast Boy, but whereas he had began to stir and mumble after Robin had given him a good shake. He was now slowly going back into a silent, motionless sleep. The fact that Beast Boy was shooing away the help of his friends and the bubble that seemed to appear as each Titan awoke hinting as to what they were dreaming of was refusing to appear, therefore they had no hint as to what to say to him. They were at the same time being watched by a pair of dark blue eyes hidden beneath the hood of an oddly colored cloak. And a half blinded but quickly awakening mysterious mythological beast.
