Robin name will be Richard. Starfire will be Kori. Cyborg will be Victor.

Raven will be Rachel and Phoenix. Beastboy will Garfield and Beast.

Jinx will be Jinxie. Terra will be Tara.

And for a brief appearance: Gizmo will be Mikron.

Titan's Universe

--------------------

The eleven o'clock sun warmed the couch next to the lounge's window. Richard, Kori and Jinxie were seated upon it. Tara was in a wheelchair parked next to them.

Cyborg was across the room and he was playing a video game.

Kori murmured, "The sun feels so good. I can stay here, forever."

Robin walked up to the group carrying four small objects in his hands and a copy of his utility belt draped over his shoulder.

Tara frowned at him.

Robin started to pass out the object. He said, "These are communicators. Robin here can tell you how to use them. You group is listed under 'Alt' menu selection, and Robin, here a new belt for you. It has the basic equipment, and you can select more advance items from my collection, later. Ok?"

Richard nodded.

Jinxie, who is still wearing a bathrobe, asked, "Can I get my clothes back?"

Tara started to giggle and Jinxie frowned at her.

Robin looked confused. "Well, they are pretty torn up, and we sent it out to get some new copies made of it. It should be two or three days before they are done. Is there a problem with the clothes I gave you?"

Tara started to laugh out loud.

Richard just shook his head. Kori looked with concern at Jinxie.

Jinxie said evenly, "Yes there is something wrong. These are Terra's clothes, except it had been cut to show the tummy. These clothes are totally tasteless."

Tara laugh out, "Yes, she's wearing them under the robe. I must admit, they look better on you than that old dress that you normally wear."

Jinxie grumbled.

Raven voice came from behind them. "Hello. Is there something funny?"

All eyes turned to look at Raven, who was supported by Starfire.

Anger crossed the faces of Tara and Kori. Richard frowned.

Starfire scowled backed.

Raven paused a couple of seconds before she said, "Whatever. It's time. Starfire, come with me."

Kori said, "I have been told what is required of me and I will come with you."

Raven turned and said to Starfire, "You can go now, Starfire."

Starfire protested, "I refuse. I will stay with you."

Raven responded, "Starfire, I need her to be calm for my spell to work. You and her disturb each other. We can't rescue their Cyborg if you there when we search for their dimension."

Starfire looked downwards, "Very well, Friend Raven."

Then Starfire looked at Kori and said, "Make sure that Raven remains unharmed or… I am going to my room now."

Starfire turned and left.

"I'm going to calm her down," said Robin and he left.

Raven said to Kori, "Starfire, follow me." She started to walk slowly away.

Kori said, "Bye friends. Bye Robin."

The others said goodbyes and Kori followed Raven out.

Jinxie examined the Teen Titan communicator. "Let's see. Emergency call button. Team talked button. There is a menu showing West, East, Other and Alt."

She touched the Alt. Button. "Mmmm… We are listed as Robin2, Starfire2, Terra2 and Jinx2… Why am I at the bottom of the list? I'm the backup leader of this group. Right Robin?"

Tara smirked. "In you dreams, Jinxie girl. Tell her, Robin."

Richard interrupted, "Is this the time for that argument?"

Jinxie also smirked, "Will you run away again?"

Richard looked nervous.

Tara smiled, "Then we won't argue… At least for now."

Jinxie laughed, "Robin, you are such a big coward when we fight… Hmmm, my name also is listed under the 'Other' menu. And it's Jinx, not Jinx2. I think I've just found myself."

Tara smiled and challenged, "Why don't you call yourself?"

Richard said, "Maybe you shouldn't."

Jinxie touched the Jinx name on the communicator and she said, "Maybe I will and I'll get a new set of clothes, too."

---------------------------------

Jinx was only person in room set up like an old office. Three wooden desks filled with books and papers were against one of the walls. She sat in an antique office chair, looking at the papers on a folding-leg table in the middle of the room. A cardboard sign with the words "Heroes' Den" was tacked over a doorway.

She talked to herself as she looked over the large sheet of paper, "If any villains hit the bank here, they can escape underground here… I got to watch for that…"

Across the table, the Teen Titan Communicator started beeping. She reached over and picked it up. On it appeared the name Jinx2.

Jinx looked confused then clicked a button on it. "Hello?" she said.

A female voice came over the communicator, "Hellooo, Jinxie."

Jinx grounded her teeth.

The voice quickly continued, "I'm over here at the tower, the west tower, and we have backup uniforms for every Titan stored here. I've just noticed that we don't any for you. How about if you-"

Jinx interrupted, "Who is this?"

"I'm the person in charge getting all the uniforms here. Now, do you have any spares and if so, how many?"

"Well, I have five-"

The voice interrupted, "Great, Jinxie pooh, send three of them to the tower, the west tower. Ok?"

Jinx scowled and angrily said, "Jinxie Pooh? Who Is This?"

The voice said, "Wait a sec."

The voice seemed to call out to some else, "Hey Cyborg. Stop playing the video game. I got a question for you."

Cyborg voice came over the communicator at a lower volume, "What?"

The irritating voice said, "Do we need any uniforms for the Flash Boy, or was that Flash Kiddy, or Kiddy Flash-"

Jinx yelled into the communicator "That's Kid Flash."

The voice said, "Thanks, and don't be so hostile. I'm only doing my job. Hey Cyborg, tell Jinx if we need any Kid Flash uniforms."

Cyborg voiced said, "Nope. We already got some, Jinx."

The voice said, "Ok, Cyborg. You can go back to the video game."

The voice continued, "So we need four of your outfits and none of Flash Kid's stuff. Ok, Jinxie Girl?"

Jinx yelled louder, "THAT'S KID FLASH AND THREE OUTFITS! AND DON'T CALL ME JINXIE GIRL! WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU?"

The voice said, "Ok, bring them soon. It has been fun, real fun. I don't care what our second grade teacher Mrs. Miller said about you. You are really alright."

Jinx looked shocked. She weakly said, "Who is this?"

The voice cheerfully said, "I'm just your identical twin sister from Dimension X. Luv ya.

Bye bye, Jinxie Pooh."

The communicator went dead.

Jinx mumbled, "What just happened?"

--------------------------------

Jinxie just turned off the communicator. She and Tara started laughing.

Jinxie said, "I was evil; totally evil."

Tara said, "That was funny. You… I mean she never knew what hit her."

Richard shook his head. "If she is anything like you, Jinx, she will get her revenge."

Ignoring Richard, Jinxie said, "I wished I could have seen her face."

Both girls had a renew fit of laughter.

Richard muttered, "This is definitely not going to go well. At least Terra is laughing."

----------------------------------

Kori followed Raven down the passageway. Raven was walking slowly.

Robin walked by in the opposite direction. He said, "Starfire is ok, now."

Raven nodded and Robin continued walking in the opposite direction.

Kori asked Raven, "What will we be doing to search for… my dimension?"

Raven said, "You'll be entering a dream like state. In your mind, you will show me pictures of your dimension and I'll try to get a feel of where you came from."

Kori asked, "Then you will be inside my mind?"

"Yes."

Kori stopped. "I refuse. I do not want you or anyone inside my head!"

Raven stopped. "If that is your wish, then I will respect it."

As they waited, Kori looked more and more worried, until she said, "Let us continue… Raven. Friends Cyborg and Gizmo must be saved."

Raven started walking again. She remarked, "First time you called me Raven."

"It is difficult to think of you as not Phoenix, but as Raven. Do you need some assistance down this way of passage?"

Raven commented, "It will get us to my room sooner."

As Kori caught up to Raven and helped Raven, Kori said, "But no one is allowed into your room… Raven."

Raven replied, "The items I require for the spell are in my room."

As they walked to Raven's room, they passed Starfire's room. Starfire was in the doorway, watching Kori with very little trust in her eyes.

Raven said, "I'm fine, Starfire."

Starfire turned and went into her room, and closed the door.

Kori said, "She and I will never become friends. Too much disliking is between us."

Raven said, "Both of you are trying to protect your friends from each other. If neither of you threaten the other's friends, I think you two could become friends. You are both so… Friendly."

They entered Raven's room.

Raven pointed. "Starfire, sit on the floor there. Don't touch anything."

Kori sat down and Raven, with chalk, started to draw symbols on the floor around Kori. Then she sat in front of Kori.

Three candles within the room lit up by themselves.

Raven said softly, "Starfire, I want you to close your eyes."

"Ok," said Kori as she closed her eyes.

Raven continued, "Now I want you to-"

Kori nervously interrupted, "Are you reading my mind right now?"

Raven soothed, "Not yet. I want you to think of your world… Forget I said that. Think of Earth… think of your Jump City… think about the people who live there…"

Inside Kori's mind, a scene of Jump City appeared below Kori. She is floating above it. Below her, a fight is in progress. Phoenix and the Beast were fighting against Robin and… herself.

Raven's voice echoed in from all sides, "Starfire, what do you see?"

Kori said out loud, "I remember this fight. It happened when Phoenix was still weak. She didn't have full control over her powers yet."

Below Phoenix was fighting Richard as her past self was in combat with the Beast. Everyone in the fight was exhausted.

Phoenix's two red eyes flared and the nearby wreck of a car was covered by flames and was flung towards Richard. Half way through its flight, it blew up as its gas tank caught fire. Both Phoenix and Richard was thrown in opposite directions.

The past Kori threw her energy bolts at the Beast, as she flew backwards. The Beast, in hawk form with red eyes, dodged the bolts as he approached her.

The past Kori yelled, "No Beastboy! Stop this! You can be normal, again. You can be my friends, again."

At the last instance, the Beast changed into a green Rhinoceros and plowed into her.

The Present Kori, watching from above, said, "Raven, I do not wish to continue to watch this anymore."

The scene faded to gray.

Raven's voice said, "So that was Phoenix. How did you escape from that battle?"

"We did not need to. We had won. Both Phoenix and the Beast were sent to a house of imprisonment. It was a very sad day for me."

"Why?"

"It was the day I gave up hope for my friends Raven and Beastboy. It was the day I started to blame Robin for stopping me from going into Raven's room on the day that Cyborg badly hurt; the day that Raven and Beastboy changed. I could have stopped it, but Robin stopped me. It was the day I stopped calling Robin a friend."

"Star, do you know what had happened in… your Raven's room?"

"No, Raven. I do not."

"How did Phoenix escape from prison?"

"That I do not know, too. But when the Phoenix escaped, she had four red eyes, not just two. And her powers became much stronger."

"Can we look at another something else?"

"Do we need to, Raven?"

" I need a better feel of your world, Starfire."

Another scene faded in.

The floor was cement and the walls and ceiling were dirty blue painted brick. The room was 10 foot in height, from floor to ceiling, and width and depth of the room was large. Pillars of brick are spaced throughout the room to support the ceiling.

There were over forty people milling about. Next to one wall, there were wounded people lying on the ground. People's coats and sweater acted as bedding for them. Two persons, a man and a woman, were doctoring them.

Kori said, "I remember this. We were underground. I took these people down here away from our defeat in the streets above. Robin is checking the above ground situation at this time and I was told to guard these people. Robin and I didn't know that Friend Terra was captured at this time. Friends Jinx and Gizmo have not joined our group yet."

Raven voice said, "I see that you and Robin saved all these people."

Kori smiled, "You are correct. I did not notice this before. At that time, I was thinking only about our defeat."

"In this room, where are you at?"

"I am guarding next to the doorway."

Kori drifted through the room until she was next to the doorway, next to her past self.

"Raven, I found me. I am very bruised and looking very weary, very tired."

A little girl in a red dress holding a teddy bear, walked up to the past Kori.

She reached out and touched the past Kori. "Starfire?" the girl asked.

Past Kori's eyes focused on the girl. She kneeled down. "Yes? Can I assist you?"

"Thank you."

"…What? What did I do?"

"You saved my mommy and daddy. Thank you."

The girl put the teddy in front of past Kori's face. "Take teddy."

Past Kori took the teddy, carefully. "What do you what me to do with this… teddy?"

"Keep him safe, like you kept my mommy and daddy safe."

"But," past Kori started to say, but the girl wrapped her arms around past Kori's neck.

The girl planted a kiss on past Kori's cheek.

The Kori of the past was stunned.

The girl turned any ran back toward the makeshift hospital area. She stopped briefly, smiled and waved, then continued away.

Past Kori waved. "I assure you, little one. I will keep your teddy safe, just like I will keep these people safe."

The scene faded away. Kori started to cry.

Raven said gently, "I see why you got so angry with… my Starfire."

"I could not keep all the people safe and I could not keep her teddy from harm."'

"More people would have been harm without you being there, Starfire. You are a heroine to these people. You saved them."

"…Thank you. It was at this time, I decided to study medicine and the Aid of First… the First Aid, I mean. Can we stop now, Raven?"

"Not yet, Starfire. I need just a little more feeling of you world."

"…Ok, Friend Raven."

"…Thank you for calling me a friend, Starfire."

Another scene faded in. It was a dungeons filled with caged people.

Kori cried out, "I don't want to be here! No, No, NO! Not Here!"

Richard was on top of one of the cages, fighting Johnny Rancid while Mikron, the alternate universe's version of Gizmo, and Jinxie were holding off Cinderblock.

Mikron complained, "You snot noses don't pay me enough for this."

Jinxie shoot back, "We don't get paid at all."

Richard yelled, "Star, find Terra before the re-enforcements come!"

Past Kori fire one last set of blasts at Johnny before she weaved through the cages.

She founded an unconscious Tara, chained facing the wall. The clothes on Tara's back were shredded along with most of her back. Blood covered the floor.

A Phoenix-bot stood there, with a whip in its hand.

Both past and present versions of Kori cocked their fists. Both swung at the Phoenix-bot.

Kori felt her fist impact on something.

The scene faded away.

Kori was back in Raven's room. Her fist was held out in front of her.

Raven's crumpled form lay next to the far wall.

Kori called out, "Friend Raven."
