Self Reflections

The clouds parted overhead and the soft moonlight beat down on the slumbering building that was Jump City's Museum of Science. The only cars in the parking lot were that of the security staff, and a few who from time to time simply left their vehicles over night. An exterior camera slowly rotated on its base, daring anyone to have the nerve to try and sneak by it. A shadowy figure braved it nonetheless and proved more than a match for the camera. He merely waited for it to turn away and took advantage of a gap between the other cameras. With a small pop his grappling hook shot out of its handle and stuck to the roof. It pulled the weight of his body up and out of sight long before the watchful eyes turned back to him.

He now stood before a door with an intricate laser grid in its frame. He cocked his head at it in wonder then cracked his knuckles.

"If the world was always boring," he whispered. He stuck a cube with mirror faces in a space between the beams then tapped it. The mirrors spread out and redirected the beams into a passage for him to move. After the thief dealt with the doorway there were still three watchmen in the room he was trying to get to. He observed them from the dark and smirked. "You guys should've clocked out with everybody else." One guard thought he heard something and shined his light in the thief's direction; there was no one. A little disappointed that the momentary bout of vigilance would be the highest point of excitement for the night he lowered his light. As soon as he turned away however he felt a prick on the back of his neck and fell to the floor. The other two soon followed suit until nothing was standing between the intruder and his object. He walked up to a glass case that held an orb no bigger than a golf ball. "Tiny processor, big money." He set a cutting tool against the glass and soon carved a perfect circle for him to reach through. He reached in and grasped it but paused. "Now there's just one more thing…" He pulled it out and the building alarm began to ring. He smiled and juggled his prize in the air. "There we go…time to say 'cheese'." He pulled off his ski mask and turned his face toward the nearest security camera.

"Who's there!" Another group of guards came upon the unconscious guards and were dumbstruck to find the museums most valuable piece missing. The man in charge left the wing immediately and made for the security room. When he finally stepped inside he whacked the guard on duty off the head for snoozing as he came in. "Don't be surprised if you have a sudden lack of job security tomorrow." He pulled up the surveillance recording for the room in question. Upon rolling the footage back to the last ten minuets his mouth dropped. The face of the fairly well known boy wonder stood smiling back at them.

Teen Titans

--------

Starfire eyed them both with apprehension. "Friend Raven I am not so sure about this, perhaps they need to practive the 'chilling out'?"

"Shhh!" hushed Raven. "The slightest sound could set them off." Robin and Cyborg stared at each other with hard faces. Robin balled up his fists to work some stiffness out of them while Cyborg cracked his neck. Beast Boy rejoined the Starfire and Raven with some soda and a couple of bars of candy. He offered one to Raven who merely shook her head. Starfire on the other hand, needing something to relieve her anxiety, took one from Beast Boy and began eating it without unwrapping it first. The changeling sweat dropped but knew it was only a passing thing. All movement stopped however when Robin raised his hand. Cyborg narrowed his eyes in readiness, this could be it.

"King Me!" Robin jumped one of Cyborg's pieces to reach the other end of the board.

"Aww man! You did this the last time we played." A mischievous smile glinted across his face. "Which is why I'm good and ready for ya, HA!" He moved his own piece closer to Robin's king. "There, get out of that….if you can." He moved his eyebrow up and down temptingly. Robin's feelings of superiority were indeed cut short by Cyborg's stratagem. Starfire finished eating, entirely, her candy bar and jumped up and down.

"Go Robin!" She received a lopsided frown from Raven. "Errr…GO both of you!" Robin scanned the board up and down, left to right, and backwards and forwards. Finally he took hold one of his lower echelon pieces and jumped five of Cyborg's pieces.

"There! How about that?" Cyborg observed his fallen pieces with an arched brow. "I think it just might take a miracle for you to win now." Cyborg nodded.

"Yeah well I just do my be…bes…ACHOO!" He fake sneezed and hit the board from underneath. The pieces scattered about leaving only to the two combatants. "Oh I'm sorry man, but if I can't win I better make sure you can't either." Robin opened his mouth just the Titan alert sounded.

"Uhhh…trouble," said Robin still getting over Cyborg's 'endgame' of all endgames. They all stood before the large window screen while Robin brought up the report. "Museum of Science was broken into last night."

"How come we weren't dragged out of bed like usual?" asked Beast Boy. Robin set a finger below his chin pensively.

"That's actually a good question Beast Boy, we should've been alerted."

"Perhaps a malfunction within the alert protocol," suggested Starfire. Cyborg finished looking at another screen off to the side and shook his head.

"Diagnostics say our stuff checks out. Whoever broke into the museum knew how to keep it quiet from us."

"But only we would know how to do that," said Raven. "Unless you're suggesting that one of us did it I think we should look elsewhere for the problem."

"Hold on," said Robin. "Museum security managed to get a few photos of the thief." He accessed the security hard drive and displayed it for them to see. Robin's mouth parted. Raven's arms unfolded. Starfire gasped loudly, and Cyborg and Beast Boy mere gawked in shock. Robin's face was on the screen grinning smugly back at them.

"It..It is you," said Starfire. Robin backed away shaking his head.

"No, no its impossible there has to be something else going on. You guys have to believe me, I didn't do it."

"Of course we believe you Robin," said Starfire with a hand over her chest. "That is, we believe you didn't do it intentionally." She finished nervously. Robin blinked a few times.

"What?"

"Someone knew our systems well enough to keep us from hearing about it," said Cyborg. "I know something must be going on here that you can't control but…at the moment man that's all we've got."

"But Cyborg you know as well as anyone that to do that he would need someone here, on the inside helping him." Cyborg would have tried to go into further detail but another alert sounded. He swiveled back around and typed on the key board.

"Diamond exchange is being hit, hang on they've got live interior cameras let me see if I can hack in." Cyborg did something clever with a computer and within moments the inside of the building was displayed for them to see. "Let me just turn that to the right just a little." He did and they saw Raven telekinetically pulling the precious stones out of their encasements. This times Raven's jaw hit the floor.

"No-way." There was simply no way to explain it. Starfire however figured out the least bit so far.

"It was another 'Robin' who allowed himself to be seen on the camera, for Raven is currently thieving from the exchange of diamonds and yet here she stands with us." It truly was baffling. Robin cocked his head upwards as if asking for Heavenly inspiration.

"What the-what is going on here?"

"I'm sure by now we've got your attention." They heard a voice behind them that sounded oddly familiar. They all slowly turned to find Robin standing in the doorway. He walked in and both Robin's looked each other in the eye. Wide eyed Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy moved their gazes back and forth between them. The other Robin tilted his head and smiled.

The others watched Robin slowly walk toward his complete look alike. He stopped when he was about five feet from him. He looked him over from head to toe and after getting over his initial shock noticed he was dressed in the apprentice suit.

"Who are you?" The other Robin (hereafter known as Neo Robin, sorry I couldn't think of anything else) rolled his eyes.

"Duh, I'm you."

"No your not." Neo Robin looked about as though Robin had said something incredibly stupid.

"Yes, I am."

"I wouldn't need to go around stealing stuff just to someone else's' attention." Neo Robin nodded while popping a piece of peppermint gum. He offered Robin a piece but was declined.

"Maybe you wouldn't, but I would. In another reality that is." Robin put his hands to his sides and regarded his counterpart with narrowed eyes.

"Larry if that's you this is really not funny." The others could only sit, stare, and become even more confused as the two Robins talked about themselves. As crazy as that by itself sounds. Neo Robin chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm not Larry, but I promise when the others get here we'll explain everything."

"O-Others?" asked Robin. Neo Robin looked back at him with a grin.

"Well sure, you didn't think you were the only one in the multiverse to have a team did you?" He walked through the door towards the roof and Robin speed walked back over to his friends.

"Okay, I'm going back to my original question; what's-going-on?"

"Well I have one theory but I won't be able to really prove it until I see his team," said Cyborg.

"Can you throw us a bone here?" asked Beast Boy.

"It's hard to say."

"Say it anyway," said Raven rolling her eyes. Cyborg looked as though he'd wished he hadn't said anything to begin with.

"Look I can't really explain it now because there are things I need to see first, and they have to do with-"

"My team," Once again they all heard Robin's voice from across the room. The Teen Titans all turned and saw…The Teen Titans. Behind Neo Robin stood Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy. However they noticed many differences; Starfire wore the same suit as Blackfire and her hair was in a neat pony tail. Raven donned a deep red cloak. Cyborg, very eerily looked like that demonic counter part they faced when fighting Trigon. And Beast Boy wore an all black suit with a red band around his head. Both groups of Titans watched each as only rivals could.

"Uhh…hey," greeted Beast Boy. Neo Starfire flew from behind her leader and floated just before Robin. She examined him, much to the growing disproval of Starfire. She finished visually prodding a very nervous Robin then turned her head back to Neo Robin.

"Well I certainly like your attire better then his."

"And what is wrong with Robin's apparel?" asked Starfire sounding indignant. She flew down beside her counterpart.

"It just looks silly is all," said the other with a flirtish giggle. The color began to rise up from Starfire's eyes.

"Okay people," announced Neo Robin. "Starry, Could we get a little focused here?" She seemed very impartial to being called that but didn't say anything. She returned to her own group. As they faced the real Titans sitting on the couch. "So I'm sure you all have some questions."

"Wow you're good," said Raven. Neo Robin sent her a half amused half irritated look. "Why don't you start by how you guys got here."

"Simple enough," answered Neo Raven. "Don't tell me you've never opened a transdementional vortex into another reality."

"Haven't been bored enough I guess."

"Anyway," said Neo Robin. "Our reality was overrun by Slade, so we came here looking for you."

"Wait," said Robin. "You all came here asking us to help you fight your Slade?"

"That's right, and if you decide to come along we really need to get moving before tomorrow night so if you could just talk amongst yourselves…we'll just be on the roof." They all filed out silently.

"Okay, I really didn't think I'd be seeing…Me..again anytime soon," said Beast Boy. Robin tapped his fingers on the table before them.

"Cyborg is there any chance they really are from another reality."

"Well according to many interpretations to quantum theory there's nothing to say otherwise."

"Greaaat, here's where he talks in science pig Latin," whispered beast Boy to Raven.

"As far as one theory is concerned we live in a multilayered universe in which each layer contains a similar yet different reality. Every conceivable outcome to every decision ever made is in this infinite number of parallel universes."

"Cyborg, I believe I am getting the hurt brain feeling of which Beast Boy speaks," said Starfire. Robin smiled and beckoned Cyborg to continue.

"In this reality we defeated Slade but in theirs it might've been the complete opposite, Slade might've defeated them. And for all we know them coming here could the random result of last desperate attempt to survive."

"Okay say for a second that they are 'us' from an alternate reality…what're they really doing here?" asked Robin.

"I think a better question is can we trust them," said Raven.

"Yeah sure why not," added Beast Boy. "I mean they're us right?" Cyborg raised his eyebrows and let out a long breath.

"Yeah they're us, and they're not."

OUT ON THE ROOF……………

"This is a galactic waste of time," whined Neo Cyborg. Neo Robin kicked some loose rocks off the edge. "I mean come on, there's no possible way they're go for this."

"Oh please they're so naïve it's a wonder they haven't spotted it already," said the other Raven. She lowered her red hood and walked up behind Robin. "If we strike now we could catch them very well off guard." He turned back around. He looked to Starfire merely gave him a nonchalant shrug.

"No, I don't think so. I agree somewhat with Cyborg, after all they are us and the last people we should underestimate are ourselves." They all looked about agreeably. "However, if we play our cards right we should be able to do just fine."

"And what about the other you," inquired Neo Beast Boy. "He's not about to just let us waltz around the tower." Neo Robin smiled and wrapped an arm around Starfire's shoulders.

"That's where the lovely and talented of this group come in." She rolled her eyes and shoved his arm off herself.

"Did you not see the 'me' of this universe; she would never act like that toward Robin. There's no way I could impersonate her."

"Well why don't you shut up and listen to the rest of it," replied Neo Robin. "I'm not telling you to impersonate anyone, just be yourself." He said with a devious smile. "Alright, everyone don't do anything stupid like get caught. We just got here let's try and make the best of it."

A short time later Robin announced that they would take just at a little more time to get to know them a little more. It was a funny thing to say; get to know themselves better. Meanwhile the two Cyborgs sat at the computer terminals at the large window.

"No you can't do that," said Neo Cyborg.

"It's possible," disagreed Cyborg.

"Opening a wormhole in the atmosphere could burn up the ozone layer or something." Our Cyborg rubbed his forehead.

"You guys wanna be able to go home or not?" They bickered further while Beast Boy and his counterpart sat on the couch.

"So what else is different in your world?" asked Beast Boy. Neo Beast Boy pretended to think about it.

"Terra's a part of the team again; she had to stay behind though to…'hold the door open' so to speak." Beast Boy looked at him seriously.

"Really? She remembered you?" Neo Beast Boy smirked.

"She came knocking on our door." Beast Boy was no fool; he recognized the meaning and said nothing in reply. With a hard look he stood up and walked out of the common room. His double watched him leave with a half befuddled look. Robin and his other walked down the hall.

"Now about the stuff you stole just to get our attention…" began Robin.

"Raven took the jewels back and you can have this." He threw the tiny globe of a processor back behind him and Robin caught it with a short juggle.

"This is worth a couple million you know, mind not being so cavalier with it."

"Time is short and we need to move quickly if we're going to succeed." Robin stuffed it away while his double ignored his protest. "Getting here was the hard part and I'm sure opening a door home will be tough on Raven so she might your Raven to help and-" Robin took his shoulder and made him face him.

"Hey get this straight, I don't even know you. Now before you start launching us into the mystic wonders of the multiverse we need to set some ground rules." Neo Robin listened reluctantly. "First you're in our universe so you go by our rules; second don't go getting any ideas."

"Ideas?"

"In my experience anything can happen while one of us is wearing that suit." He gestured to Neo Robin's apprentice suit.

"You guys haven't a thing to worry about, we came asking you for help and I just want to be sure whether you're going to give it to us or not?"

"We'll see." Disappeared into his room leaving the other in the hall. Neo Starfire walked up behind him after finally parting with her counterpart.

"How long must we keep up this degrading charade?"

"Not much longer, you're up." She shook her head.

"My other doesn't act like that at all, he'll see right through it."

"Then go lower on the totem pole, we need those access codes now I'm not going to tell you twice."

"Fine," she said crossing her arms.

"Good, have a nice time Starry."

"Would you please stop calling me that," she said with finality.

"No." He walked away leaving her to her task. She read the name on Robin's door and left for another. She finally reached the one she was looking for and was about to give a few knocks when the Raven on her team took her hand.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asked. She lowered her hand.

"Just carrying out orders." Neo Raven pushed her out of the way.

"Why don't you let the actual object his desires give it a try? Robin can go choke on it." Neo Starfire put her hands to her hips.

"You truly wish to do the flirting with him don't you? Why?" Raven almost smirked beneath her hood.

"Why not?" her teammate shrugged and walked away. Raven looked into the control panel on the wall to make sure her appearance was appealing. She knocked and heard Beast Boy's voice allow her passage. She entered just as he stuffed a few photos back into a drawer.

"Hey Raven I was just-" He stopped in mid speech when he saw the red cloaked Raven before him. "Oh hey, you need something?"

"Whatcha doing?" she asked casually.

"I was just thinking, your Beast Boy said Terra came back in your reality and I just got thinking."

"About?" she asked coming closer. He shrugged.

"I dunno, how things might be if she'd wanted to remember and rejoin the team. I guess things worked out the way they did for the best, but it still does make one wonder." Raven nodded while lowering her hood.

"Mind if I keep you company for a while?" Beast Boy looked up at her strangely.

"Come again?"

"I can tell you're upset, I just wanted to know if I could help at all." She sat down on the bed beside him. "You can't hide anything from either of us." Beast Boy's face turned a shade of red.

"R-Really?" He had been so transfixed by her stare that he only just noticed her hand over his. "L-Let me just say…that…this is really weird. I mean you, that is our Raven, is never all touchy feely." She smiled shrewdly.

"If she's anything like me then I'm more than sure she feels all the time, she just does her absolute best not to show it." He looked at the floor thoughtfully. "And as for me, well I'm just a little less feely and a little-more-touchy." He froze when she began to walk her fingers up his arm. He began moving away but she of course showed no mercy and merely followed him. He finally ran out of space and he was pined between the wall and Neo Raven.

"Y-You really are a different Raven, she would rather eat tofu until it came out of her ears then do something like this." She bent even closer to him.

"You'd be surprised how many inhibitions you can shed when let someone strange teach you a new trick." He sat confused by her words for a moment then it clicked. A red flag concerning this girl suddenly began waving madly in his mind.

"In your universe you didn't reject Malchior; you let him teach you all that dark magic stuff." She nodded with a mischievous grin.

"And with it I've done and experienced things I never thought possible, it's too bad your Raven was too afraid of change." Beast Boy's face hardened.

"She wasn't afraid, she knew it's dangerous to mess with that freaky evil stuff and I'm starting to get a little tired of yo-" She snapped her fingers producing a red mist from them. His breath caught as he felt the will to move his limbs leave him. She stood up and brushed herself off.

"Well glad that's finally done, your key card please." She held out her hand and Beast Boy barred his teeth as his arm handed her the card against his will. She tucked it in her pocket and began walking out.

"You won't get away with this!" She chuckled sadistically.

"You fool, we already have." She gave him one last sultry smile and left him alone. He struggled against the magical bindings around him. Short gasps escaped him as his attempts to get free met with failure.

"Dang it! Freaking Siren Raven…" He soon found that there was only one way to break a binding such as that. Impossible as it may sound Beast Boy began the process of summoning his beast within.

IN THE COMMON ROOM…………..

While everyone, including the parallel Titans, worked in the common room Neo Raven moved in smoothly and stopped at the first computer terminal she could find. Neo Robin looked up form his conversation and caught her eye. She gave him a short nod and he merely looked back down. She inserted the key card through which she gained access to the Titan mainframe. She typed in a set of timed commands then walked away back toward the door. Robin stood up when Starfire came to show him something. Neo Robin saw them talking and waited for her to leave. Robin watched her walk back to her station with longing.

"She won't wait forever you know." Robin nearly jumped when Neo Robin appeared behind him.

"What are you talking about?" he asked almost annoyed from the moment he met himself. His double chuckled and used Robin's shoulder for support.

"Look it's so obvious to everyone else and its so unbelievingly painful to watch you two just dance around it I mean…just look at her." Robin planned on showing him that he was dead wrong but betrayed himself stealing a glance at Starfire. That quick glance soon turned into a prolonged stare. "I really wish my Starfire was like that."

"Like what?"

"Like the complete opposite of my Starfire." He pointed behind himself with his thumb and Robin moved aside to see around his counterpart's shoulder. The other Starfire sat vainly filing her finger nails. "I'd enjoy it if I were you." Robin looked away from her. Neo Robin checked his watch. "While you still can that is." Robin looked back at him strangely. Neo Robin tapped his watch and that was the signal. Neo Raven's power took hold of all of them with a special one taking a firm grasp of Raven. She tried to free herself with little effect.

"What the-"

"Oh come on," her double taunted. "You think I don't know how to stop myself." Raven looked at her confused.

"That's really weird."

"Oookay," said Neo Robin clapping his hands together. "Well you've all been a terrific audience but now I'm afraid this is our house now."

"Why are you doing this!" Shouted Starfire.

"Because it's enjoyable," said her double draping herself around her Robin. "We suffer from boredom from time to time." Neo Raven gathered her prisoners together in the middle of the common room. Robin then spotted it in his counterpart's eyes.

"Slade didn't take over the world, it was you guys." His evil twin shrugged with a smile. "What's the matter, your universe wasn't big enough for you?" Neo Raven retrieved the card for her leader.

"Yeah something like that. Look we hardly have time to chat and we really need your Raven to give our Raven a hand with the whole transdimentional vortex thing."

"You can forget it!" She snapped back at him. Neo Robin smiled and shook his finger.

"Careful with that temper of yours, you might let it take you someplace dark. Now…where's Beast Boy?"

"Don't worry; I've taken care of him." The evil Raven assured him.

"You are sooo not us," said Cyborg. "Bunch of cowards if you ask me, why don't you let us go for a fair fight?" Neo Robin back at his teammates and received a mocking nod from each of them.

"Alright here's what we'll do; we'll let you loose and if you can win we'll leave no hard feelings." They all glared up at their evil twins. "But if in the far more likely event that we win you get sent to the parallel universe of our choice." Neo Starfire giggled with mirth.

"Deal," said Robin. His double clapped his hands again and laughed out loud.

"Yes! I can't wait to see that! This is gonna be good, Raven release them." She did so reluctantly and both teams got into ready stances. "Okay, so how do you want to start this?" Their face down was interrupted by a strong punch on the door behind the Neo Titans. They all turned and the door was thrown out of its slot. They fell off their feet and the familiar man beast form of Beast Boy jumped through the door. The first thing he did was knock away Neos Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven. Neo Robin shot back to his feet. "Get HIM!" The enemy Beast Boy morphed into a gorilla and promptly retaliated. Neo Starfire caught Starfire around the waste and the two flew through the large window. The two Cyborgs blasted away at each other as Neo Raven fought Raven. Robin cast a confused look about as his friends were engaged one right after the other.

"Hey traffic light!" He irritably answered to the call to find his identical foe with his staff ready. "Let's do this." Robin extended his staff and the two charged toward each other.

--------

Starfire landed on the ground while her evil counterpart hovered above. She stood up with two ready starbolts.

"You should be warned I have faced myself in battle before." Neo Starfire scoffed.

"Of course you have, but so have I. After all we just couldn't let Trigon have our world." Starfire's enemy fired down a merciless barrage of energy making Starfire dance about to avoid the blasts. She rolled forward and upon getting to her feet traced her eye beams across Neo Starfire's chest. Her double bounced about in the air then came back down for another attack.

"HA!" Neo Starfire put her hands together to form a large ball of energy. She kicked Starfire away then heaved the large gathering of fury directly at her. Wide eyed she only had time to watch it hit her. Neo Starfire stood over with a evil grin bouncing a starbolt up and down.

--------

Beast Boy and Neo Beast Boy battled an all out brawl to the finish. Beast Boy howled like only a werewolf could and took hold of his foe's midsection. With a tight hold of him he ran as fast as he could straight ahead and crashed him into the wall. He recovered quickly and knocked away Beast Boy with a kick to the jaw. Beast Boy landed in the sink producing an ever flowing fountain over his head.

Cyborg ran forward shooting his cannon and launching a volley of rockets from his shoulders. Neo Cyborg jumped to behind the counter then pulled it out of its foundations for a shield. Once the barrage ended he spun around and threw the mass of wood, metal, and granite. Cyborg kept running forward and punched right through it.

"Aww man I went through five granite guys for that counter!" He ran up to his evil counterpart and they locked fists. While they struggled against each other Neo Raven chased Raven out of the common room and into the halls. She turned around and hovered off the floor.

"You can't control Malchior's magic, it'll destroy you!" Neo Raven only laughed derisively.

"We'll see who ends up six feet under." She tore off her hooded cape and twisted her head about. "Malchior was such a great teacher…." With that Raven's eyes gradually turned glassy as she watched her double transform into a smaller and clearly more female version of the fell dragon himself. She let out an earthly screech then breathed a column of fire down on the heroine.

"ZINTHOS!" She shouted to throw a powerful shield around herself. The fire blast pounded against the black shield like a giant hammer. Raven pushed forward as her strength recovered from the shock of the blast. She shoved her arms forward and threw her evil twin clear down the hall. The she-dragon took some time to recover. Raven clutched her chest breathing hard. "I think I may know a way to t put an end to this." She dashed down the hall just as Neo Raven picked her snake like head off the floor.

--------

Robin and Neo Robin had fought their way out of the common room, up the stairs and out onto the roof. Robin swung down then back and diagonally at his opponent but all were blocked. Neo Robin spun his staff about, swung around for a neck hit but Robin was ready. He ducked low and swiped Neo Robin's feet out from under him. He landed on his back but soon kicked himself back up to his feet. Both twirled their staffs into ready positions and moved in a circle.

"Your greatest enemy is yourself," said Neo Robin. Robin moved his staff down to his side and raised his free hand up ready to fend off any attack. "Is that what am to you? Am I your inner demon?"

"No." Neo Robin cocked his head. "You're just a common thief." Neo Robin seemed highly affronted to have his talents mocked so readily. He growled barbarically and charged forward. Robin's free hand grabbed his swinging staff, used it for leverage and vaulted over his foe. Upon landing He aimed a punch at his back but Neo Robin spun around and took a firm hold of his wrist. He pulled him close and they looked each other in the eyes.

"This world is ours!" He threw Robin away making him twirl about in the air. The boy wonder took control of himself and landed in a half split. As Robin geared up for his next offensive the two Starfires zoomed by, now taking a higher altitude for their battle field. Their eyebeams met each other numerous times and it seemed there was little to no end to the stalemate. Starfire blocked a few starbolts sent at her and noticed a commercial jet coming towards them. With a barely noticeable sly grin she flew up toward her counterpart.

"I am afraid you must now be defeated."

"Hollow words are the mark of defeat!" spat back her double. In her arrogance she neglected the simple act of trying to shoot Starfire and tried to grab hold of her. That however, was Starfire's plan to begin with and she grabbed Neo Starfire by the leg and with a few spins sent her flying upwards. The evil twin stopped flying backwards and barely had enough time to express the obvious pointlessness of the act. She looked to her side and was hit head on by the passenger jet. Robin and Neo Robin locked their staffs together until Neo Robin spotted a dot falling from the sky and plopping into the ocean.

"STARYYY!" Allowing his anger to cloud his judgment he upped the ferocity of his attacks. Instead of swift decisive movements he resorted to chopping at Robin but that soon proved disadvantageous to him. On the next downward swing Robin swiftly moved aside allowing Neo Robin to lunge forward uncontrollably. Robin caught him around the collar and shoved him into the A/C unit. His foe defeated Robin tucked his retracted staff back into his belt. He turned and saw Starfire hauling an unconscious and soaking wet Neo Starfire over her shoulder.

--------

Raven finally reached her room and locked eyes with a certain trunk off in the corner. She threw it open and began pulling out quills, old capes, and scraps of parchment. Raven finally found what she was looking for when;

BAM!
Neo Raven, in all her dragon fury, burst through the door and practically slithered into her room. Unable to break her stare with herself Raven blindly reached around for her query and pulled it out. The dragon paused at the sight of Malchior's book. She laughed a deep hollow chuckle then turned back to her human form.

"And just what do you intend to do with that? Do look like Malchior to you?" Raven was only too happy to allow a smug grin to glint across her face.

"Not to me…but the book is hardly as smart." Neo Raven shot her a fearful stare of shock as she understood completely. "ALGERON EN-LEN-THRENEL VOL-SOL-NAIR-ISS NOR!" The book left her hands and hovered above her head. It opened right down the middle and almost immediately seemed to detect Malchior's essence within Neo Raven. She turned to make an escape but it was long too late. A strong wind began pulling her and not one once of her powers obeyed her thoughts. She fell to her knees and nearly clawed at the floor in a desperate attempt to stay free.

"THIS ISN'T OVER!" Before she could rant further the strong gusts picked up and she was pulled inside the book. The deed done the winds subsided allowing the book to fall smoothly back into Raven's hands. She held it in her grasp and thought silently. 'Funny, I really look forward to hearing them say that every single time.'

LATER……………….

The Teen Titans gathered their conquered selves in the common room just they were before, only this time things were a little different. They were bound in a way that prevented their unique talents from allowing them to escape. Neo Robin sat with a slightly disappointed frown. Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy gladly stood watch over them while Raven assured Robin they wouldn't be coming back.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I looked over the spell their Raven used to travel between universes, its simple enough for me but was difficult for her since she was so steeped in the dark arts. And since I've sort of relocated her…" She brandished the white book. "…I seriously doubt they'll be able to do it again."

"And she's stuck in there for good right?" Raven looked between him and the book.

"We can only hope." He smiled with a nod.

"Well done, let's send em' home." Raven nodded and left to retrieve the necessary items. Robin walked down the steps toward the couch and stood behind his friends. "I don't mind saying you guys took us by surprise." The other Cyborg and Beast Boy merely looked away curtly. "I really can't see how you could be us though." Neo Robin smirked.

"And that's just it." He looked up at him. "We're not." They both stared at one another then Robin took Starfire's shoulder.

"Would you, Cyborg, and Beast Boy take them to the roof so Raven can do this with plenty of room. And make sure they behave themselves." Starfire nodded as did Cyborg and Beast Boy. Cyborg and Starfire got them to their feet and marched them upstairs while gorilla Beast Boy carefully watched the rear. As his eyes followed them out of the room Robin couldn't help but wonder. Was it possible that in some way he had fought and defeated the side of himself he'd wanted to expel all these years? Robin smiled as he finally decided that in some way he did just that.

The End

Hope you were all able to follow that one alright. Parallel universe stuff and time travel is damn confusing they should shoot the guy who invented both. Okay random story time. The other day I was at home by myself and the same telamarketer kept calling over and over again. "I was like what the F!" I thought it was obvious enough that I wasn't interested when I kept hanging up the phone. But they wouldn't stop so finally I picked up the phone and did my absolute best Chewbacca impersonation. After that there was peace and quiet. So the moral of this totally unimportant tale is all you have to do is yell loud enough and people will shut up. Good night and God bless.
