Alternate Universe
-----------------------
Roy walked down the hall. The hall consisted of reddish-brown bricks which made up its walls, floor and ceiling. Several openings, without door, were regularly spaced in each wall. Each opening opened up into a small room, which contains adults, children, pets, and their merger belongings.
Roy came upon a tee in the hallway, with halls that branched to the left and right, and a pair of doors across from Roy. Two large robotic redcoats stood to each side of the doorway with rifles held to the right of each. Neither of them reacted as Roy walked through the double doors.
In the room, Mad Mod sat on his throne with a crown upon his head and a royal red clock draped over his shoulders. To the left of the throne, within easy reached is a control panel with two monitors. A red banner was upon the wall with the words "King Monty the First" written upon it.
Mad Mod asked with a smirk, "What's up, squire?"
Roy grimly said, "Bad news, your lordly-ness. Kitten was captured."
Mad Mod asked, "Well, my duckie, does Killer Moth and Fang know of this yet?"
Roy replied, "No, not yet. But-"
A voice from one of the monitors broke in, "Am I interrupting anything?"
Both Mad Mod and Roy looked at the monitor, only to see a male figure on it.
Roy angrily said, "Control Freak."
Control Freak's image was on the left monitor. He was dressed in a Jedi rode.
Control Freak laughed. "Yes, it's I, Control Freak; Your greatest foe. I have discovered your secret hideout. So it will be I who will cause your downfall. It will be I who-"
Mad Mod snappily interrupted, "Who are a total loser, you little snot. Interrupting our conversion shows a total lack of good manners. Someone needs to teach you a lesson, yank."
Control Freak demanded, "You and what army?"
Mad Mod reached out and pushed a button on the control panel. Mod said, "This Army."
On the right monitor, several computer generated redcoat robots appeared.
Control Freak nervously asked, "What are they?"
"The Royal Computer Virus Guard. Created by his Lordship, me, to follow you throughout the Internet. Have fun, my duckie."
Control Freak ran off the left monitor and the guards chased after him into the Internet.
Roy said, "I like it. But now Phoenix knows where we are at."
Mad Mod said, "Yes squire. Kitten has probably told them. I want you and your friends to hold them off while I take my loyal subjects to a new hideout."
Roy said, "Take the civilian to the new hideout. Good. Where will it be?"
Mad Mod replied, "I can't tell you. If you were caught, we have to move again. I'll contact you."

Titan's Universe

Jinx stood in front of Jinxie. They briefly looked over each other. Jinx was in her standard gothic dress while Jinxie was wearing a white bathrobe with Terra's style shoes and she still had some swelling around her left eye.
Jinx confidently smiled and Jinxie had a nervous smile.
Jinx said, "I'm so glad to meet you. You're like a sister that I never had."
Jinxie said, "Hi, Jinx. Sorry about the joke…"
Jinx smile got wider. "No problem. No harm done. It's forgotten. And who is this?"
Tara responded, "Hi. I'm Terra."
Jinx said, "You can already guess my name. I just love your outfit."
Tara slightly smiled. "Thanks. Your and Jinx's clothes is pretty cool, too."
Jinxie interrupted, "Ha! That's the first time you said anything good about my clothing."
Tara responded with a smile, "Me? Me? I didn't say anything good about your clothes. Your must have been hearing things."
Jinxie said, "Ha! I heard you practically worshipped the way I dress."
Jinx interrupted, "You two are pretty good friends, right?"
They both responded, "Best friends forever."
Terra glanced around the room. She saw Robin, Starfire and Beastboy talking quietly together. She also spotted the purplish blob on a plate on the dinner table.
She said, "Starfire been cooking again. Want to see if I can eat it?"
Jinxie said with a grin, "I don't think you can."
Jinx looked confused and then slightly ill. She said, "You? Eat that? Gross!"
Tara wheeled over to the table.
Jinx whispered to Jinxie, "I brought the outfits."
Jinxie whispered back, "Thanks. What are you planning for revenge?"
Jinx just smiled an overly large smile.
--------------------------------------------
Beastboy whispered to Robin, "Dude, are you nuts? Until a couple of weeks ago, Jinx was a bad guy… a bad girl… a villain."
Starfire quietly said with concern, "Yes, I agree. Jinx is in command of Beastboy, Raven, Cyborg and I, why?"
Robin whispered, "Since the other group arrived, their Robin and I are having more and more problems working with each other. Raven and their Starfire are hurt. We need try something else, someone else."
Starfire argued, "But the people of trouble are from the other dimension, not us."
Robin said, "They were on the losing end of a vicious war. They see their enemies every time they look at some of us. They need our help, Star. The people they want to rescue need our help, too."
Beastboy complained, "Dude, you don't have to feel them staring at you; angry stares."
Robin said, "That's why Jinx is here. Look at her talking to them. She is able to deal to them without getting angry."
Starfire said, "Yes, I see… That Terra is eating the food I made for my friends! She is NOT a friend!"
Robin whispered, "No, Star. Wait."
Starfire started to stomped over to the table.
-------------------------------------
Tara spooned some of the purplish blob into her mouth. She thinks for a second before she said, "It tastes like chocolate with poached eggs… Good."
Both Jinxes were gagging.
Starfire stomped up to Tara and demanded, "You will cease your activities to consume the foods I have made for my friends."
Jinx stepped up and said, "Wait. Cool down. Let's talk."
Tara ignored Jinx and said, "Hey, don't get so excited. It only the second time I've ever tasted food like this."
Jinx said, "Calm down. Calm down."
Starfire closed her eyes for a couple of second before she opened them. She looked calmer. "Why don't you eat some of your Starfire's food?"
Tara calmed down a little herself. "Because she never makes it."
"Then tell her…" Starfire started to say then she continued with a slight worry look,
"Please repeat what you have just said."
Tara looked uncertain, "Ahhh… because she never makes it."
Jinxie asked, "Is this something we should be worried about?"
Starfire responded, "A Tamarian can not remain healthy eaten the foods of Earth alone. She must grow Tamarian funguses in her room of fungus growth to make the required nutrients."
Tara said, "If that fungus growing room was in the old Teen Titan's tower, then it is long gone. That tower was destroyed before I joined the Titans."
A panic look came over Starfire's face. She quickly said, "Terra, you must take the Gungga Kehldisca, the food you are eating, to your Starfire. I'll go and get the Zorka berries."
Starfire flew out of the room.
Tara grabbed the dish with the purplish blob and a spoon. She yelled, "Somebody push me to Starfire's room, NOW!"
-----------------------------------
Raven had both her hands on the unconscious Kori's side. A dark glow was coming from the hands. Cyborg was looking over a chart. Richard was still seated next to Kori's hospital bed.
A sounds low rumble of running feet came from the hallway.
Cyborg said, "I wonder what got them so excited?"
Jinxie pushed Tara's wheelchair into the room, followed by all the others except Starfire.
Richard demanded, "What's going on?"
Tara said, "We got to feed Starfire foods that she needs. She is malnourished. Let me come up to her bedside."
Richard said, "Terra, come over to my side of the bed."
Tara took Richard's place on the other side of the bed from Raven. She and Raven stared at each other briefly, before Raven went back to healing Kori.
Tara put the spoon into the purplish blob as Starfire flew into the room. Starfire was carrying a large jar.
Starfire said, "We should feed her Zorka berries first. They will give her energy."
Tara said, "Fine. Hand them to me."
Starfire landed next to Tara and next to the head of the bed. "No. These are unhealthy for creatures of Earth to handle. I will handle these."
Tara said, "Unhealthy! What makes you think that you… Never mind… Go ahead."
Starfire sighed and said, "Terra, if you can, please hold your Starfire's mouth open."
Richard volunteered, "I'll do it."
Tara looked at him and shook her head "No".
Starfire reached into the jar and pulled out one berry, held between her thumb and forefinger. She said, "Terra, once I put this berry into her mouth, please close it. I will squeeze the berry and I do not want any of the juice to get onto you hands."
Tara nodded.
Starfire crushed the berry within Kori's mouth.
A slight movement of Kori's throat showed that she was trying to swallow.
Tara smiled in relief.
Starfire reached for another berry.
Jinx moved up next to Raven and whispered, "Hi Raven."
Raven quietly said back, "Hello Jinx. I don't have time to deal with you. Bye Jinx."
Jinx quickly said back, "You got me wrong. I'm here to help. Do you need anything right now?"
"…Herbal Tea."
"…Herbal Tea it is."
Jinx turn to leave the room. She said to Robin, "I'm running an errand for Raven. You got the watch. Don't let the kids fight."
Robin nodded.
Jinx said to Beastboy, "Hey Beastboy. You can show me where Raven's herbal tea is at."
Beastboy nodded and followed Jinx out of the room.
After being fed the fifth berry, Kori weakly said, "Zorka… Berry…"
The sighs of relief were heard throughout the room. Tara started cried and Jinxie hugged her from behind the wheelchair.
Richard asked, "Starfire, can you hear me?"
Kori eyes half opened but still they were unfocused. "Friend… Robin?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Friend… Terra?"
Tara sobbed, "I'm here, my friend."
"Friend… Jinx?"
Jinxie responded, "I'm always here, Starfire."
Kori eyes slowly turned to look toward where Raven's hands were healing here.
Tara spoke up, "Those are Raven's hands."
Raven smiled slightly.
Kori said, "Hands… so… warm… Sorry… Raven."
Raven softly said, "No problem. It was my fault."
Kori asked, "Where… is… Cyborg and… Beastboy?"
Cyborg said, "I'm right here, Star. BB is getting Raven some tea."
Kori said, "Sorry I… could… not stop… you two… from… becoming… Phoenix… and… Beast."
Robin whispered, "Her mind is in the past."
Everyone look down.
Starfire said, "We will continue to feed her. With sleep, she will be fine."
Kori eyes searched for the source of that voice. Her eyes came to rest on Starfire.
Kori asked, "Mother?"
Starfire looked shocked.
Kori started to cry. "Mother."
Starfire's voice quaked, "But, but-"
Tara reached out and grabbed Starfire's arm. She whispered, "She needs her mother right now and you are going to be that mother."
Starfire stared at Kori for a bit, then said, "How is my darling little daughter doing?"
Starfire reached down and picked up another Zorka berry.
Kori said, "People are… hurt. The… doll is… hurt. My friends became… evil. Cyborg… is hurt."
Starfire held the berry over Kori's mouth. "Eat this Zorka berry."
As Kori slowly chewed, Starfire said, "Do not worry, my little princess. All your friends and I will make everything right."
Kori smiled weakly.
Starfire said, "Your very good friend Terra has some Gungga Kehldisca that she has brought. Eat it and I give you a treat."
"Ok, mother."
Starfire said to Kid Flash, "Please Kid Flash. Go to the refrigerator and get a bottle of mustard and a straw."
Kid Flash said, "You got it in ten seconds."
He zipped out of the room.
Tara was spoon-feeding Kori.
Starfire said, "Terra, she will eat faster than that."
Tara asked, "How?"
"Just ask her to open her mouth widely and quickly fill it."
"But Starfire will choke."
Starfire said, "Tamarian throats are different from those of human."
"Ok," said Tara. Then she said to Kori, "Open your mouth wide. Here comes the food."
Starfire added, "And don't eat the plate. You know how that upsets you tummy."
"Yes, mother."
Kori mouth opened impossibly wide and her teeth became fang like. Jinxie and Tara look shaken. Then Tara just started to shovel the food into the mouth.
Kid Flash handed Starfire the mustard and straw.
Raven was still concentrating on healing Kori.
Jinx walked up next to her. "Here is your tea."
Raven takes her right hand away from Kori's side and held it out. Jinx placed the cup in her hand.
Raven sipped the tea. "Good tea. Now, why are you here?"
Jinx said, "I'm the person brought in by Robin to help calm things down. If anyone give you any grief, tell me."
Jinx then smile a wide smile.
Raven looked a little annoyed. "Whatever."
Cyborg walked over and said, "Recharge time."
Raven nodded.
Jinx asked, "Can I talk to you guys outside of the room?"
Both Cyborg and Raven nodded.
Raven said out aloud, "I'll be right back."
Jinxie noticed them leaving and said to her friends, "I'll be right back."
She followed the others out into the hall.
In the hall, Jinx said, "Hi Twin. I'm glad you can join us."
Jinxie nodded.
Jinx asked, "How is Starfire doing?"
Cyborg said, "Much better. She is still pretty weak."
Raven said, "She can used more healing. But she needs to digest her food first before my healing will become more effective."
Jinx said, "Ok. Cyborg, can you stay for a bit more? I want Raven to get some rest, now."
Cyborg said, "Yeah, I can do that."
Raven looked a little ticked, "Who made you boss?"
Jinx looked at Raven and said, "Robin did."
Raven looked surprised and then started to look angry.
Before Raven could say anything, Jinx firmly said, "Look, Raven. Our first priority is their Starfire, followed by the next most wounded person, which is you. Then comes Terra. And we got to see that you are taken care of. Does that sound about right?"
Raven grumbled, "I'm taking orders from you?"
Jinx said, "Yes. And my first order to you is tell me what you need. Foods? Tea? What? And that is also my order to you, Cyborg."
Cyborg smiled, "Waffles, Ribs… let me make a list."
Jinx said, "And you, Raven?"
"… Salads… and some normal food… Nothing with tofu or too much meat."
Cyborg laughed, "Fat chance that you are going to get a salad."
Raven said, "Well, I want a salad."
Jinx said, "Cyborg, do you doubt my ability to make a salad."
Cyborg smile, "Nope. It's that I don't doubt Starfire's ability to feed any lettuce, which you buy, to her fungus farm. And she will need more lettuce to feed the other Starfire."
Jinx said, "Ok, lots of lettuce. Whom do I get the money from?"
Both Cyborg and Raven said, "Robin."
Jinxie asked, "Can you get a sewing kit for Terra? It's important."
Cyborg said, "I believe there is one in the old Terra's room."
Jinx said, "Cool, I'll get it later."
Raven said, "You better have Beastboy get it."
Jinx said, "Ok. Now it's bedtime for Raven. We'll wake you in four hours."
Raven grumbled, "Fine. Only let Starfire wake me up. I don't like other people in my room."
Raven walked away, down the hall.
Jinx said, "Now back to the room."
Tara held an empty plate. She said, "I can't believe she ate all of that."
Kori smiled and asked, "Mother… What is… my treat?"
Starfire bought out the mustard with a straw inserted in its bottle. "This delightful beverage is your treat."
A doubtful Richard asked, "Are you sure?"
Tara is muttered to herself, "Don't make a remark. Don't say anything."
Kori sipped on the straw and got a surprised look on her face.
Tara muttered, "I knew she wouldn't like it."
Kori smiled and said, "Mother, this is… a most tart and… gloriously good… tasting drink."
Starfire smiled, "I am most pleased to hear that, my precious daughter."
Both Jinxs and Cyborg walked into the room as Kori drifted off to sleep.
Jinx said to all in a whisper, "Cyborg is going to watch Starfire for now. Raven is sleeping now, but she will be woken up in four hours by this world's Starfire."
Richard looked at Jinxie and she nodded.
Jinx continued, "Terra will stay here and watch Starfire for now and if she is good, then maybe she can watch when Raven comes back. Other world's Robin, go get some sleep now. You will be here when Terra tires out. Jinx, you are to come in here after Robin's shift. Starfire, I'm going to buy some food. I'll give you some lettuce for you fungus farm, but don't touch the lettuce for normal food. Beastboy, Kid Flash and this world's Robin will watch for crime. And Robin, I need money, lots of it."
Richard said in a quiet angry voice, "No, I'll stay here. No one orders-"
Tara interrupted by pulling on Richard's cloak. "Please, Robin. I want to stay here for bit. I need to make up for the damage I've done."
Richard sighed, "Ok. Call me if you need help."
Richard left.
Jinx continued, "Beastboy, I need Terra's old sewing kit. We need it."
Beastboy complained, "No. What is in Terra's room stays in Terra's room. No one is going to touch it."
Tara eyes pinned Beastboy. She said, "Please, I only need it for a short time."
"…Ok."
