Alternate Universe
-----------------------
Slade walked in the underground sewer tunnel. Over one shoulder, he carried a large backpack. He stopped and pulled the backpack off his shoulder. From of the pack, he pulled a dirty looking brick like object. They were remote controlled bombs. He carefully placed it into the waters of the sewer.
The backpack went back up to his shoulder and he walked for about one hundred feet.
There he placed another brick like object.
He continued walking. His backpack contains several more of these "bricks".
-----------------
Karen came flying out of the gate with blasts of electricity, earth and pink cursed bolts flying after her.
On this side of the now pink tainted gate, was Phoenix, in giant flaming bird form, Killer Moth and the Advisor. A few giant moths flew overhead. One of Phoenix's claws extended through the gate and was wrestling with Raven's claw.
Karen dodged to the left of Phoenix on the opposite side from the two men. Mikron followed Karen, ignoring the Phoenix.
Jinxie, followed by a flying Tara, came through and then both started to fire at the Phoenix. The effects of their blasts had little impact on their target.
Phoenix second red fiery claw whipped around and smacked Tara. Tara was went flying.
The Advisor pulled out a small one-foot bar, which extended into a five-foot staff.
He said to Killer Moth, "It seems that my assistance is required."
He leaped toward Jinxie.
Phoenix started to reach the second claw towards Jinxie, but then it changed course to reach out to grab the edge of the gate to hold it open.
Jinxie continued to throw cursed blast after cursed blast at Phoenix. From the other side of the gate, Raven's tentacles of darkness started to travel up Phoenix's claw.
The Phoenix, ignoring the efforts of Jinxie, cried out in fury and she, along with her claws, blazed with increased energy to combat Raven.
Karen circled behind the Phoenix and headed back toward Killer Moth. Mikron was in hot pursuit.
Killer Moth pointed at Mikron and the giant moths dove towards Mikron's backpack.
Mikron yelled, "Snot headed bugs!"
He turned away from Karen.
Jinxie was blasting at Phoenix as the Advisor blindsided her with a swing of his staff. As he raised his staff once again, bolts of earth hit him. The Advisor with a groan flew backward.
Tara yelled, "Got the Advisor!"
She didn't see the quickly approaching Karen.
At the last instant, Karen grew to full size and hammered Tara with both her fists. Tara fell and hit the ground.
Tara eyes started to glow, but Karen hit her again and again, not allowing Tara time to summon up chunks of earth. Tara was beaten to unconsciousness.
Phoenix yelled and then collapsed. And with her fall, the gate also vanished.
The Advisor struck Jinxie one more time before Karen yelled, "Killer Moth!"
Killer Moth was advancing upon the downed Phoenix.
The Advisor pointed his finger at Killer Moth. The finger start to burned.
The Advisor said coldly, "I wouldn't touch her if I were you."
Killer Moth stopped and then said, "I was just going to see if she is well."
The Advisor said, "Good. Killer Moth, Bumblebee, take to prisoners back. Where is that Gizmo?"
Killer Moth looked toward the city. "He fled."
Karen said, "Advisor, there is something I need to tell you about Trigon. It's-"
The Advisor interrupted her, "Bumblebee, tell me once we get back to city hall."

Titan's Universe
---------------------
The Beast lay unconscious on the ground. Richard stood over him with a metal staff in hand.
Robin called to Richard, "Don't."
Richard looked annoyed. "Yeah, I know. Was it that Trigon creep who used the Beast or not? Do I let him live and escape like Bumblebee? Or will I be killing an innocent person?"
Robin responded, "We'll confined him."
Terra, still in a Robin costume, had walked up, and aided Kori to walk. Terra said, "Hey, let's confine him. We're don't kill people in cold-blood. We are not at all like your enemies."
Kori looked like she was about to say something, then looked at Terra and sighed. "As much as I dislike the Beast, let us do as this world's Robin says and then plan for the rescue of our friends."
Richard stepped away from the Beast and walked pass Terra and Kori. He said, "Thanks Terra, for pulling Kori out of danger."
Terra smiled. "Sure. Anytime for any of you guys."
Richard nodded and smiled slightly.
Starfire, who was carrying an unconscious Raven, asked, "Where are Friends Beastboy and Cyborg?"
Kid Flash, leaning on Jinx, said a painful smile, "My guess that Beastboy fled to the tower after the fight. And Cyborg went to bandage him."
Jinx asked, "Why did he run?"
Kid Flash smiled widened and he pointed set of Robin's clothes lying on the ground.
He said, "My guess is that he lost those when they didn't transform with him. He probably didn't green behind seen, so he went to get some clothes."
Both Starfire and Kori's faces turned red.
------------------------
Richard examined the room that Karen escaped from. He asked himself, "Could Gizmo have done this? It looks like Control Freak's work…"
------------------------
Outside of Raven's door, Terra nervously waited. She raised her hand to knock on the door, and then lowered it.
She started to turn away when Raven's door opened.
Raven looking very tired, yet annoyed, asked in a neutral tone, "What do you want, Terra?"
"Ah… Sorry about tackling you so hard…"
"No problem", said Raven as she shut the door.
Terra looked confounded, then she loudly pleaded to the closed door, "Raven, I need to talk with you."
Raven voice came back through the door, "Why should I listen? Go away. I don't know how to deal with you!"
"Please Raven", asked Terra loudly, and then more quietly, "Please Raven…"
Raven's door opened once again. Raven looked straight into Terra's eyes and Terra avert her own eyes.
"Talk", said Raven.
Terra eyes started to dart back and forth, never quite looking at Raven. "I'm sorry… for hurting you-"
Raven angrily interrupted, "You betrayed us! You betrayed our trust!"
"I know… and I've betrayed you, too…"
Raven demanded, "And why should we trust you? Why should I trust you?""
Terra looked Raven in the eye. "I can't answer that for you."
Raven stared at Terra for a bit before her anger just turned into exhaustion. "What are we going to do with you?"
"I don't know, Raven, but I have some answers for your earlier questions."
"What questions?"
"You asked me if I was a Somebody or a Nobody. I'm not a 'nobody', even when I was hiding as a student, I couldn't become a nobody… I'm Terra."
Raven grimaced. "And my other questions?"
"Heroine or Villainess was another one of your questions. When I was a Titan, I've betrayed everyone… When I worked for Slade, I disobeyed orders and couldn't kill you guys. I killed Slade. I seem to betray whomever I work with… But I would like to become a hero again… if that is ok with you…"
Raven said, "My last question was if you're a Trusted Friend or a Traitor, but the answer seem to be both."
"Raven?"
"Come into my room and sit in the center of the room. Don't touch anything. Don't say anything. I'm not your friend and I don't trust you, but I'll give one more chance. Don't waste it."
Terra walked uncertainly into Raven's room and the door closed.
---------------------
The Beast rubbed his eyes before he opened them. He was lying upon a bed on top of the sheets. Bandages were applied to his side of his face, around his neck, left shoulder and on both of his legs.
The bed was in a small room.
Starfire voice said neutrally, "Please do not transform, Beast. The bandage will not transform and you may start bleeding again.
Against one wall stood Starfire, Jinx and Kid Flash. Kid Flash had an arm in a sling.
Jinx said into her communicator, "He is awake."
The Beast asked, "Starfire?"
Starfire responded, "Yes, it is I, Starfire, but I am not the Starfire that you know, who is Kori. Are you in pain?"
"What?… I hurt, Star. What happened?"
"We have defeated both you and the Phoenix."
The Beast mumbled, "Phoenix… Phoenix…" Then he groaned and wrapped is arms around his stomach.
Starfire looked concerned and leaned forward.
Jinx warned, "Watch it. Could be a trap."
The Beast groaned again and then threw up. The content of his stomach spewed out all over himself, the bed and onto Starfire.
Jinx said, "I'm not cleaning that up."
Starfire said, "I am, what you say, grossed out."
The Beast curled up into a ball and started to mutter incoherently.
-------
Richard and Kori came up the hall. Out of one doorway, Starfire came out covered with a disgusting fluid. She headed away down the hallway towards the bathroom.
Kori immediately headed into the room that contained the Beast. Richard shook his head and followed.
In the room, Jinx and Kid Flash were trying to clean up the mess.
Kori stepped in and said, "Friends, Robin and I will mess this up. Go and get new sheets, blankets and some bathrobes."
Richard stepped up started to remove the bedding.
Jinx asked him, "You not going to kill him?"
Richard responded without looking, "Not at this time. Go now. Kori and I have handled people in worse conditions than this after our battles."
The Beast whimpered, "Robin, sorry. I'm the one who created the Phoenix."
Robin grabbed the front of the Beast's tunic. "How, Beast? How?"
Kid Flash grabbed Richard's shoulder. "Cool down, man."
Kori spoke up, "Please, Friend Kid Flash. I need to hear this, too."
Raven's voice came from the doorway. "I wish to hear this, too."
Raven stood at the doorway with Terra behind her.
The Beast choked, "Phoenix?"
Richard said, "Never mind her. How did you create the Phoenix?"
The Beast weakly said, "Cyborg and I were in Raven's mind. Raven and us were fighting big red dude who looks like Trigon. I suddenly couldn't control myself and I killed several of the different colored Ravens."
Richard demanded, "What are you talking about? You're making no sense!"
Raven said, "He is making total sense. Your Raven lost control over her father's blood in herself."
Kori angrily said, "If Robin hadn't stopped me and I was able to assist them-"
Raven interrupted, "They would have lost earlier. The only way out was for them to win that battle."
Kori looked stunned.
Richard muttered and continued to clean up the Beast and the bed. Kori quietly joined him.
The Beast whispered, "I've killed so many people; hurt so many more."
Raven said, "When you first got the urge to harm my replicas, you were no longer in control of yourself. You have all the memories and reasoning of the controlling person, but you were not the person who made those decisions nor harmed those people."
In the background, a tear streaked down Terra's cheek.
Raven said, "Move him to the medical ward."
Richard complained, "He could still be dangerous."
Raven said, "He will not be dangerous."
Jinx spoke up, "Ok, people. Let's move him."
Richard's communicator beeped.
--------------------------
Into the machine shop rushed Richard and Kori.
Victor, fully assembled, lay upon a slanted platform. Fewer wire than before were attached to him.
Cyborg and Robin were already in the room.
Cyborg said, "We're ready… Where is Raven?"
Richard and Kori looked back, only to see Raven walking slowly up the corridor.
Kori said, "We just move too quickly for her."
Robin said, "She has low energy levels."
Raven walked in, "When do I start?"
Cyborg said, "Wait a sec."
On a panel, he threw some switches and adjusted some knobs.
"Ok, Raven. Remove the spell."
Raven spread out her arms and chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
-------------------------------------
Victor's bionic eye lit red. The reactivated Victor saw standing direct before him were Richard, Kori and Raven.
He said, "Hey guys. I guess we won. Where is BB?"
Kori ran forwards and wrapped her arms around him.
A voice from Victor's left said, "Kori, be careful with the wires."
Kori happily said, "Friend Cyborg, you are back."
Victor said, "Yeah… Hey, why can't I move? My systems! They've changed! What is happening?!?"
Richard said, "Cyborg! We are amongst friends here. There is nothing to worry about."
Robin's voice came from Victor's right, "His vitals are looking good; very good."
The voice from his left said, "Of course, Robin. I've redesigned him."
Victor yelled, "Hey! Don't you go messing with my circuits!"
Raven said, "Enough! Robin, explain it to him."
Richard sighed. "Cyborg, you lost. Raven and Beastboy became criminals then conquerors. You've been… offline for over ten months now. The tower been destroyed. We are with friends now."
Robin voice came from Victor's right, "I'm activating the neck's controls now."
Suddenly Victor head turned toward Robin.
Victor asked, "Robin, why are there two of you? Is this some kind of alien cloning replacement thingie going on here?"
Robin said, "No. Your Robin should be the one who explains the situation to you."
Victor turned back to Richard. "What's happening? And where is the grass-stain?
Richard said, "We are in an alternate dimension. The Robin you just saw is my counterpart here. The Beast… Beastboy is in the medical ward."
Victor groaned, "I'm been unconscious for ten months and now I in different dimension. Starfire, Raven, is this true?"
Kori replied, "It is very true."
Raven added, "And I'm not the Raven you knew."
Victor asked, "What do you mean? Hey. HEY! What Are You Downloading Into ME?!?"
A voice from his left, "Those are you new blueprints."
Victor started to turn toward his left before stopping. "Oh… I like that power distribution system. A nano-machine upgrade…"
And the voice said, "And look at those armor specs. Their better than mine."
"I like it."
"And with those new fingers, you'll be able to play video game thirty percent faster."
Victor completed turning his head and saw Cyborg.
"Hey, you're me!"
Cyborg said, "That's right, Cyborg. Now let's bring the rest of you back on-line."
Robin said, "Cyborg, can you do the rest? I need to talk to Robin and Raven."
Victor asked, "What?"
Cyborg said, "No problem, Robin."
As Robin, Richard and Raven walked out of the room, Kori said to Victor, "In this world, I'm known as Kori, to avoid the confusion of identity with this world's Starfire."
Victor thought for a second before he said, "I guess I could go by Victor."
Kori smiled, "Welcome back, Friend Victor."
-----------------------
In the hallway, Robin asked Raven, "Do we need that mirror you mentioned earlier?"
Raven replied, "It would aid in the defeat of Phoenix."
Richard said, "If we can, while rescuing my teammates, we might see if we can rescue Kitten."
Robin and Raven stared dumbfounded at Richard.
Richard continued, "Killer Moth wouldn't work with the Phoenix unless the Phoenix had Kitten as a hostage."
Robin frowned and then asked, "How much more recovery time do you need until you can open the gate two times?"
Raven frowned, "Maybe by noon tomorrow."
Richard asked, "What are you thinking?"
Robin said, "We'll go with three group. One group to provide a diversion, second group will be the rescue group and the third will go after the mirror. The gate opens once to let us in and a second time to return us."
Raven added, "If you trust her, Terra will have her powers back."
Robin looked questioning, but Richard said, "I'll have her on my group."
Robin nodded and then said, "I'm going to ask Bumblebee for help."
