Tell the truth.

Rimon- Okay, okay, I lost a bet and was forced to type the chapter

Want to tell them what you bet on?

Rimon- No, but I will anyway. If you must know, I bet the HHS would win their last basketball game

And?

Rimon- And the final was score was 33-28 in favor AHS. Happy?

Yes. Now do the disclaimer.

Rimon- Sam does not now, nor will she ever, own Teen Titans.

Good. Now go do the dishes.

Rimon- I am not your slave!
You are until the end of this weekend

Rimon- /walks out grumbling/

Ah yes, if I have brought even the slightest misery to his life, it is all worth it. Enjoy the chapter! Oh, quick note: This takes place before Homecoming or any season 5 episodes incase you get confused by who the villains are in this chapter.

Chapter 6- Fight with the Hive Five

"Check this out", Gizmo said as he held up a diamond, "This could be worth a lot…"

"Yea, just make sure you don't drop it butterfingers!" See-more called from across the room, "Haha!"

"For the last time-"

"Knock it off both of you!" Jinx snapped, "The Titans could be here any minute, and I want to be long gone by-"

"Can't always get what you want then, now can you?" Jinx, Gizmo, and See-More looked around, and Gizmo uttered a barely audible, "Crud. The Titans!"

Sure enough, all five Titans were there, blocking there only exit out of the jewelry store they were attempting to rob. "So I guess you're going to come quietly then?" Beast Boy asked with a small smirk.

"Not on your life!" Jinx snapped, "Hive Five, attack!"

Mammoth and Ancient Hive came in right behind the Titans, trying to catch them off guard. They caught them just in time though, and quickly moved out of the way, with Robin yelling, "Titans, go!"

Mammoth closed in on Starfire, attempting to knock the alien out of the sky. She flew out of his reach, and took aim in an attempt to attack, but he grabbed the glass from a display case and whipped it at her. She squeaked and quickly dodged; the glass shattered right where she had been three seconds earlier. She took aim again before he could find something else to throw at her, and quickly fired a bunch of starbolts at him. Before he could get his bearings, he was knocked backwards through a wall, and landed on the sidewalk.

Robin was fighting Agent Hive, who was fighting right back. Neither of them had any real powers, but both made up for it by being good fighters. Robin had something Ancient Hive didn't though. He grabbed a grappler hook from his utility belt, and aimed at the wall behind Agent Hive. It hit right where he wanted it to, and before Agent Hive knew what had happened, he was tied to the wall by a grappling hook, with Robin smirking in front of him.

Cyborg was fighting Gizmo, predictably enough. "Come on short stuff!" Cyborg called, "If I'd known you were just gonna hide, I would have brought something along to do until your game was over!"

That did it for Gizmo. He released his spider legs and took off after Cyborg, who dodged and took aim at Gizmo with his sonic cannon. He missed by about an inch, giving Gizmo the chance to try again. Before he could though, he felt his spider legs give out from under him; Cyborg; while Gizmo hadn't been paying attention, had grabbed a display case and swung at him, breaking off his legs. He tumbled to the ground and hit with a loud "oomph!" He felt a tug on his back, and was lifted off the ground by Cyborg, who yelled, "Booyah!"

Beast Boy was fighting See-More. He jumped out of the way and quickly morphed into a bird, flying out of See-More's range. Not that the want-a-be bad guy was daunted by this. He flipped his eye and laser shot out of it, missing Beast Boy by maybe three inches. Beast Boy landed quickly back on the ground and morphed into a cheetah, and ran towards See-More, dodging every shot along the way, and finally running right into him. See-More flew backwards and hit the wall, but didn't go through it, which couldn't be said for Mammoth, of course. Beast Boy morphed back into his green elf form, smirking lightly.

This left Raven and Jinx. The dark girl was dodging Jinx's blast left and right, not getting time to take aim herself. She finally over-stepped and was knocked backwards by one of Jinx's energy blast, and barely had time to put up a shield as a couple more blast headed her way.

"Is that the best you can do?" Jinx sneered as the dust cleared, "You're worse then I thought, you know that, right?"

A flash of anger shot through Raven, but she ignored it. "Big words coming form the girl who rips off jewelry stores", she shot back, stumbling up as her shield disappeared. Jinx's eyes flashed, and Raven quickly jumped out of the way as more blast headed her way. It gave her an almost satisfying feeling to see that she'd hit the bad luck girl's temper the way Jinx had hers. She smirked in a weird way, and took aim at Jinx. A case of black energy covered the girl, and threw her backwards. Jinx landed on the ground with a weird thud, but quickly jumped back up, undaunted by the attack. Raven took aim again, this time bringing down the ceiling above Jinx. Jinx, realizing what Raven was going to do about split-second before it happened, jumped out of the way, but her foot caught around a piece of fallen debris from the other fights going on, and went down with a wham! Raven, seeing what had happened, quickly took it as an opportunity for another shot at attack. And then…and then it was like another mind opened up inside of hers. She smirked again, but in a more vicious manor, and before Jinx knew what was happening, she was being bombarded by rocks and anything else Raven could find to throw at her with her powers. Jinx was fast, but she wasn't fast enough to dodge things coming at her from all sides. She was knocked backwards, and slid down the wall, recovering from the blows. She didn't even have time to get her bearings before she was encased in black energy and thrown across the room. She slammed into another wall, and barely dodged another flight of rocks, only to fall over and nearly be crushed by a boulder. Okay, so the girl knows how to fight, she thought, breathing heavily as she pulled herself off the ground. She look around at Raven, and saw the same sinister smile creeping across the Titan's face. She was undaunted by this though; it was every other injury she had sustained during the battle that slowed her down.

""Is that all you can do?" she was neglecting for punishment, but maybe if she could get Raven riled enough, she could distract her, and take aim long enough to put the dark girl out so they could escape (she hadn't seen the other fights, but she knew her team had one them). Raven had another idea though. Her eyes flashed at the remark, and before Jinx knew what was happening, she was being pulled into the air but a dark energy form of a raven, which carried steadily higher, crashed through the roof of the jewelry store, and dropped her when they were maybe twenty-five feet up. If she'd been completely human, she wouldn't have survived, or would have been on her way for a long stay in the hospital. But between the fact she was pretty prone to pain, and the fact that every other bruise she had was throbbing, she barely felt when she hit the ground.

Raven took aim again, not caring that Jinx had been defeated. She wanted more than to just beat Jinx, she wanted to see Jinx hurt, see Jinx in real pain. What she had done so far was only a taste of what she knew she could do-

"Raven!" she whirled around, and saw the four other Titans standing behind her, a look of identical shock on their faces. It took her a second to realize why they were so surprised, and then it hit. Everything that had happened, the fight with Jinx, what she had done, and, probably worst of all, the joy she had gotten out of it. She looked back at Jinx, who was stirring on the ground. Had she really done that? She automatically stepped backwards, hoping beyond hope it was a dream, hoping she could wake up, but she didn't. She didn't wake up; she didn't make it all go away. She couldn't. It was real. It was real.

"Raven?" she jumped a little and looked around. Starfire stepped towards, a look of concern on the alien's face, but suddenly, she didn't want to be there. She didn't want to be with the Titans, or around other people at all. She turned away from Starfire, and teleported away, leaving four very confused Titans behind.

"She isn't in her room", Beast Boy said as he came back into the living room. It was about hour after the fight at the jewelry store. The Titans had taken the Hive Five to jail (after finding out whether or not Jinx was going to suffer any permanent damage from what had happened; turned out she wouldn't), and had quickly split up to search for Raven. After about forty-five minutes of unsuccessful searching, they'd returned to the tower, and checked everywhere in the tower for her. Again, no luck.

"This is not normal behavior for her", Starfire said firmly. This time, even Beast Boy didn't disagree.

"She's probably just stressed", Cyborg pointed out, "After everything she went through? It's enough to make anyone's head turn"

"That still doesn't explain her new attitude", Beast Boy pointed out, "Seriously, have you ever seen her get that into a fight? I remember a time when she didn't want to fight at all"

"It's weird", Robin agreed, "But I think Cyborg's right. After everything that's happened, she's probably just a little rattled. Let's give her some time; I'm sure she'll come around"

But suddenly, even Cyborg wasn't completely convinced by what he had said.

It was past midnight by the time Raven finally returned to the tower. She had hoped to get home after the Titans went to bed, just so she wouldn't face any interrogations. That didn't pan out very well.

"And where've you been?" she jumped a mile and looked around, only to find Cyborg standing in the living room.

"What are you, my father?" she completely and one-hundred percent regretted the words the second they left her mouth. Cyborg didn't seem too thrown off by it though.

"We've been worried", he said, snapping on a light so they could see better, "We weren't sure if something happened to you, or if you took off on us…"
She felt guilty. She didn't think the Titans would worry that much, she could take care of herself, they should have known that by now.

"Why don't you just tell me what's going on?" Cyborg asked, "You aren't yourself anymore, I mean, after today, we all know something is going on. So why don't you just stop putting on an act and admit what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong", she said, her temper quickly rising; this was exactly why she had avoided coming home.

"Right", Cyborg said sarcastically, "You go around pounding villains into the ground every day. Yea, that's normal for you"

"For once, just take my word for it", Raven said, "Nothing is wrong. I'm going to bed. Unless, of course, you want to waste my time with more useless questions"

She waited for about three seconds before storming out of the living room.

"Well, that went well", Beast Boy morphed out of his fly form, and looked over at Cyborg. He'd agreed to wait with Cyborg to see if Raven came home, but point-blank refused to face her. Instead, he'd morphed a fly, and waited around to see if Cyborg had any luck talking to their friend. Of course, he hadn't. That would have been too easy.

"Yea", Cyborg sighed, "Maybe I can try again tomorrow, after she's had some time to calm down"

"She had all day, how much more could she need?" Beast Boy muttered as he followed Cyborg out of the room.

Raven awoke with a start. She could instantly tell something wasn't right. For a second, she thought maybe it was just paranoia from lack of sleep (she'd only fallen off like, an hour ago), but after a minute, she realized something was definitely wrong. After a moment of debating, she threw the blankets off and grabbed her cloak to investigate the weird disturbance.

She walked quietly through the halls of Titans Tower, hoping to avoid anyone who might be awake. She was about half way along the sixth floor when she heard a crash from below. She hesitated for a second, not knowing whether or not it was just one of the Titans trying to get her attention, or perhaps Beast Boy pulling a prank. Finally, her curiosity and her need for knowledge overcame her need to avoid the Titans, and she phased downstairs, hoping all of the Titans had been to deeply asleep to hear anything.

Not that she got her wish. By the time she got downstairs, Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg were all standing around the living room, each searching for the cause of the noise.

"Well look who decided to join us", Beast Boy said in a voice full of sarcasm as Raven entered the room. He got burning looks from all sides as the three other Titans turned to glare at him.

"Thanks for your input", Raven said, not caring that she hadn't gotten her wish to avoid her friends, "I don't suppose you found anything-"

"So it wasn't our imagination", Robin said as he looked around, "I thought maybe we were just hearing things…"

"This seems a little too weird", Beast Boy said as he moved towards the couch. He sat on it…and fell right through the middle.

"Beast Boy!" Starfire cried running over to him, "Are you injured?"
"No", he said, pulling himself up. He put his hand on the couch; it went right through, "What in the world…?"

"Okay", Cyborg said, "Definitely not normal"

He walked over to the table and leaned on it; a loud crash resounded as fell over.

"What is going on?" Robin asked as Starfire pulled Cyborg up. Raven looked around the room. She had a feeling she knew. She wasn't going to say anything if she could help it though. She was hoping dearly she was wrong.

"Hey, do you guys smell smoke?" Beast Boy asked suddenly. Sure enough, the smell of smoke was in the air.

"Is something burning?" Starfire asked, her eyes wide.

"No", Cyborg said, looking at a scanner on his arm, "I'm not getting any weird readings…wait a minute…"

He paused, and looked at his arm in disbelief, before finally saying, "According to this, the whole living room-in other words, the room we're standing in- is on fire"

The titans looked at him as though he were crazy. Well, three of them did anyway. One girl's beliefs had just been confirmed. And she wasn't at all happy about it. "So wait…" Beast Boy, "…What?"

Without warning, flames sprung up around them. Starfire screamed in surprise, and Beast Boy jumped and stumbled backwards…right into a bed of flames.

"BEAST BOY!"

But while the other Titans were panicking, and running forward to pull him up, he was sitting on the ground, a look of disbelief on his face, "It isn't hot"

"What?"

"The flames…" he said, touching them, "They aren't hot, they don't…burn or anything"

"Um, guys?" Cyborg said suddenly, "I don't think we're in the tower anymore"

They looked around. They weren't in the tower. They were outside of it. They were looking right at it. And it was destroyed.

"The nightmare realm"

Raven's monotone voice snapped them all back to reality. They looked around at the dark girl, all hopeful that they would get the explanation they so dearly wanted.

"Nightmare realm?" Starfire asked, confused, "Please, what is this nightmare realm?"
"A place where your dreams reside", Raven said quietly, "Well, nightmares, anyway"

"Okay…" Beast Boy said, "So…exactly who's "nightmare realm" are we in?"
And that was when he appeared.

"I'll give you three guesses", Cyborg said, backing away slowly.

Hehe, I like cliffies!

Rimon- I don't, and you didn't explain anything! You didn't even have much with the Hive Five! The chapter title makes no sense! And exactly who is he anyway!

Rimon, my annoying little friend, I know who he is, you know who he is, and it's up to the readers to figure out who he is. Oh, and Scorpiored112 I didn't want give you a selection from this chapter (even though I should I have) because I'm dying to tell someone what I want to do next chapter. I'm going to start that tonight or Monday, so you'll get the snippet before next week is over. So please don't be mad!

Rimon- Sam, did you forget the other reason you updated this?

Until now, yes. My other reason was to give you this as a special little holiday thing, so Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Happy Kwanza/if you don't celebrate any of these disregard this. And if you read this after the holidays, hope your holidays were great! Bye-bye now!
