Beastboy stirred in the hospital bed. His eyes cracked open. Standing over him was Terra, in her somewhat torn up school uniform. His eyes scanned her bruised and scratched face.

Terra said softly, "Hi Beastboy. I'm back. Miss me?"

Beastboy smiled and said, "Yeah… You're back? You're Back! Sweet!"

He hugged her.

Kori's voice said, "A Glorious Reunion."

Starfire said, "This is a Joyous Time."

Beastboy moved his head to see Kori standing next to a hospital bed that Starfire was in.

Beastboy asked, "Which one of you is Star?"

Starfire waved from the bed. "It is I, Friend Beastboy."

Beastboy remarked, "You two are now so happy around each other. It's like you two are sisters."

Kori puzzled, "Sister?"

Starfire asked Kori, "Sister?"

Kori beamed and proclaimed, "Sister!"

Starfire reached up and hugged Kori. "My very good Sister that I never had!"

As the two merrily talked away, Beastboy chucked. "Just a few days ago, those two were trying to kill each other."

"I'm glad I didn't see that", said Terra. She reached around and hugged Beastboy and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Beastboy went limp.

Terra asked with concern, "Beastboy?"

Beastboy said, "That was too much for a mere dude handle."

Terra laughed.

Beastboy asked, "Did Slade beat you up? Where is Slade?"

Terra chuckle, "Slade is in another dimension. These scrapes and bruises I got from winning a fight against that other Terra wannabe. She never knew what hit her. Dangerous girl will think twice before tangling with me again."

Slade waited on the roof next to its edge. Two Phoenix-bots walked closer to his position on the streets below him.

Slade remarked, "Hmm, adapting to new tactics. It doesn't matter."

As they passed below him, he jumped off the edge with his staff in hand. As he fell toward the Phoenix-bots, both of them left the ground turning towards Slade as they dodged. But they were not quick enough.

Slade used his bo-staff to spear one through the abdomen.

Slade pulled on his staff as he turned to face the other one, but his staff did not pull free. The speared Phoenix-bot had grabbed the bo-staff with one of its hand and it struck at Slade with the other hand.

Slade was hit across his masked face, sending him backwards. As Slade hit the ground, he tumbled then sprung to one side. A blast from the second Phoenix-bot just missed him.

Slade rolled back toward the impaled Phoenix-bot as it eyes started to glow. From the ground, he swept his legs to knock it over as it fired its eyes blasts.

The blasts missed.

As second Phoenix-bot eyes start to glow again, Slade grabbed the end of the bo-staff.

He swung the staff, and the impaled Phoenix-bot, into the way of the next set of blasts.

The impaled one shook as the pair of eyes blast hit it. It went slack.

Slade swung the staff back and then forward, throwing the non-functioning Phoenix off the end of the staff and into the undamaged one.

As the remaining Phoenix-bot struggle to maintain its footing, Slade pole-vaulted while he kicked it in the head.

As it threw the body of it comrade off, Slade slammed its side with the staff.

The next strike separated the head from the shoulders.

A single person's clapping sounded out.

Standing next to an alleyway, Mad Mod said, "Great entertainment, governor. Great entertainment."

Slade turned toward Mad Mod. "And you are?"

Mad Mod bowed, "I'm King Monty, the lord of Jump City underground and the rightful leader of the entire city."

Slade said, "That an interesting title. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving."

Slade turned to leave.

Mad Mod quickly said, "Wait, wait, governor. Don't be so fast. Let us talk."

Slade stopped. "Do we have anything to talk about?"

Mad Mod grinned, "I can use a hero like you-"

Slade interrupted, "Not interested."

Slade started to walk away again.

Mad Mod said, "Wait. I see that I've misjudged you. You're not one of those crazed hero types. You're a more practical type of man. I can offer you something more lucrative."

Slade stopped and said, "Good. I'll need a workshop."

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

Roy climbed out of the laundry cart looking annoyed. All kinds of new stains found their ways onto his uniform.

Mammoth stood off to one side.

Roy muttered, "Where is my bow?"

Mammoth said, "The boss man is through that door."

Roy walked through the door into the dark room.

A deep voice said, "Greetings Speedy."

Roy said, "Hey, turn on the light. I like to see the person I'm dealing with."

"Sorry, I can't."

Roy turned to leave. "If I can't see you, then it's no deal."

The voice said, "You can leave if you want. Unlike Phoenix, I don't force people to stay. But if you leave, you won't have the power to fight against the minions of Phoenix."

Roy stopped in the doorway. "What do you have to offer me?"

The voice replied, "I can make you more resistance to harm, make you more accurate with the bow and make your attacks much more powerful. Are you interested?"

Roy turned back into the room. "Maybe I'm interested. Maybe I'm not."

Outside the room, Mammoth closed the door.

A muffled scream of Roy's pain and horror came through the door.

Titan's Universe

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

Robin led the way down the hall. Following him were Raven, Jinxie and Tara.

Jinxie gripe, "I can't believe you let Bumblebee live. What are you thinking?"

Robin said back, "Your Robin and I have been over this before. She stays alive. Deal with it."

Robin stopped outside a door. He said, "This is a monitoring room. Wait here and listen."

Tara questioned, "If you know how much we want her dead, why are you telling and showing us this?'

"Terra, because you're titans. I don't keep any more secrets from fellow titans. If you are trust me and my decisions, then you have to know that I don't keep important facts from you."

Tara just nodded. Robin went into the room.

Jinxie cursed, "Damn!"

Raven remarked, "He implied that he trusts you not to harm Bumblebee."

Tara grumbled, "We know."

The room Robin walked into was a medium sized room. It had a table with four chairs all on one side, facing a wall. That wall had a large window, three foot high by eight-foot width, which viewed into another room. Sitting below that window where some controls.

The neighboring room had featureless white walls and one solid looking door. There are some scorch marks on the walls and window.

Next to the door, there floated a small ball of intense fiery light. As the ball smashed into the door, sparks flew off of it.

Robin walked to the window, reached down and turned a knob.

Robin said, "Bumblebee, you and I need to speak."

The fiery ball stopped its attack on the door and flew straight at Robin. It bounced off the window with an explosive bang. It drew back and charged again. Another explosive bang occurred. The window gained two more scorch marks.

Robin said, "You can't get out. "The room is well sealed."

The fiery ball rammed the window again.

Robin warned, "Talk with me now, or I will knock you out. I can gas the room."

The ball floated to a stop in front of Robin. The ball's fire faded out leaving a tiny Karen. She grew in size and landed on the ground. Now full human size, she stared at Robin with her arms crossed.

She, with hatred in her eyes, said flatly, "What do you want, Bird-boy?"

Robin asked, "What made you join the Phoenix?"

She looked shocked, then started laughing. "That's it? None of the death threats that you are famous for? No crowd of air head bimbos backing up your threats?"

Tara charged into the room. "Air Head Bimbos?!? I will smash you for all the people you have harmed."

Jinxie entered the room, stared with hate at Karen. "Where is Mammoth?"

Robin demanded, "Terra! Jinxie! Quite!"

Karen remark, "Two of the three doll crew are here. Is Star-girl also coming through that door?"

Jinxie said, "I don't care. Where Is Mammoth?"

Karen responded, "Mammoth joined us."

Jinxie yelled, "Liar!"

Raven entered the room.

Karen glanced and then stopped and stared. "Phoenix", she said.

Both Jinxie and Tara glanced at Raven.

Raven said, "Quiet."

Both Jinxie and Tara looked surprised, then silently streamed.

Bumblebee, in shock, said, "Phoenix. No… You don't feel like Phoenix… None of Phoenix's powers… You're a Fake!"

Tara muttered, "Plus she is dressed in blue, not red, bumble-brains."

Robin snapped, "Terra. Anymore comments and you will leave this room."

Raven said, "Yes, Bumblebee. You are right. I'm Raven. Answer Robin's question."

Bumblebee asked, "Are you some kind of clone or an actor?"

Raven said neutrally, "Neither. Phoenix never existed in this world."

Bumblebee said, "Whatever, Bird-girl."

Raven's face twitched.

Robin asked, "Now, Bumblebee. Why did you join Phoenix?"

Bumblebee said, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you?"

"Try me."

Bumblebee turned and face away from the party.

She said, "I'm trying to stop Trigon from destroying the world."

Both Robin and Raven looked stunned.

Jinxie said, "That is just a lie they spread to justify all the crimes they are committing. This Trigon doesn't exist."

Raven said, "Jinxie, I need to talk with her."

Jinxie stared at Raven for a second before turning her head away.

Raven asked, "Bumblebee, what was done to prevent Trigon from coming into your world two months ago?"

Karen turned and asked, "What is all this 'your world' and 'this world' stuff?"

Raven asked, "When you attacked through the gate, the large ring like thing, you didn't know that you were sent into another dimension?"

"Dimension? You mean like that science fiction stuff? What a load of trash your trying to feed me!"

Robin pulled out his communicator and said quietly, "Starfire, I want Kori and you to come to my location."

Starfire voice responded with an "Ok."

Raven looked at the scorched marks within the other room and said with a frown, "Fire based powers?"

Tara said, "Yeah. A few of Phoenix's goons got improved."

Raven puzzled, "A few?"

Jinxie said, "That's right."

Raven said, "How does people, who want to stop Trigon, get Trigon's powers?"

Jinxie said, "You can't be buying all this Trigon talk. He is not real."

Karen said, "He is real, no luck girl."

Tara said, "He is just a story."

Raven said, "He's my father."

Jinxie, Tara, and Karen looked shocked.

Bumblebee said, "You're kidding, girl. Right?"

Raven continued, "In this world, my father used me to enter this world. Almost all living things were turned to stone."

Tara asked, "But you were able to defeat him, right?"

Raven said, "Yes. My father was weak from his trip to this dimension and we were barely able to defeat him. But somehow Phoenix was able to stop her father from entering your world."

Karen said, "That is a tall story you tell. How can I believe anything-"

At that point Starfire, followed by Kori entered.

Starfire smiled and waved at Karen while Kori gave a deadly look at Karen and quietly said, "Murderess."

Terra and Beastboy followed behind them. Terra glared at Tara.

Karen looked dumbfounded. "Two Starfires and Two Terras… The Beast without red eyes…"

Raven chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

Raven peered at Karen and then she said, "Not good."

Robin asked, "What is not good?"

Raven said, "I sense the slight presence of Trigon. Bumblebee, why do I sense a little bit of Trigon within you?"

Karen responded, "That is because we are slicing him up into so many little pieces, he can't be a menace to anyone."

Raven voice got a little angry. "Fools. You can't slice Trigon up. You can't divide him. All you have within you is a little bit of his attention. And with that attention, he'll slowly pull power out of you and out of those around you. That is how he feeds. He is taking a lot more power from you than he briefly give you when you fight."

Karen said, "No. You're kidding, right? Nothing like that is happening. No such-"

Karen groaned and fell over.

Robin, closest to Karen said, "I feel odd... Not good…"

Robin started to fall.

Jinxie shouted, "We got to kill her NOW!"

Raven chanted, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS."

Blackness in the form of a large bird came from Raven's body. A claw reached out, immaterially, and through the window. The claw reached into Karen's chest.

Karen features became gaunt.

The black claw appeared to be struggling with something as Karen started to thrash around. The claw pulled out a small red glowing orb.

As the claws started to squeeze down upon the orb, it sunk to nothing and disappeared.

Raven said, "It got away."

Robin started to stand back up.

Raven said, "Jinxie, Kori, and their Terra, help Robin to his room. Beastboy and his Terra, find a stretcher. Starfire, help me with Bumblebee."

Jinxie said bitterly, "You're going to let her live, right?"

Raven said, "Yes. Your Phoenix troubles pale when compared to the threat from Trigon."
