Alternate Universe
-----------------------
The Phoenix lay unconscious before the front doorway of city hall. Her breathing is labored as she body twitches. From the shadows of the doorway Slade walked into the open.
Slade said, "My, my, my. What has happened to my little friend?"
He reached down and picked up Phoenix in his arms. "Have you had a bad day, my little Raven? So should I call you Phoenix? It makes no difference to me."
He turned and carried Phoenix back into the building. "The responsibility of having all that power, containing so much of your father's powers, appears to be too much of a burden on you. Let me relieve you of that burden, my dear little Phoenix."
-------
The Advisor groaned as he held his head. Slowly he stood on shakily feet. No too far from him laid an unmoving Mammoth. The Advisor looked around and spotted his staff lying close to him. Picking it up, he quickly ran to the side of Mammoth and stuck with the staff. The staff crashed into the teen's head.
The Advisor said, "So this is where you been hiding you consciousness, Trigon. He is your window into my world."
The Advisor continued striking the downed teen with no reaction from Mammoth.
The Advisor said with deadly seriousness, "It is the time to put an end to this vessel of your, Trigon!"
The Advisor raised the staff high over his head and swung down hard.
Without looking, Mammoth's hand shot up and catch the incoming staff. He growled as his four yellow eyes opened, "Advisor, you are starting to bother me. Do you think you can actually harm me with that toy of your? It's an amusing thought, mortal."

Titan's Universe
---------------------
The Beast leaned over to check on Raven as she lay there. Starfire, carrying Beastboy flew up. Starfire stared at both the Beast and Raven with intense eyes.
Jinx, who was helping Kid Flash to walk, yelled, "Beast! Get away from her!"
The Beast said, "It wasn't me. Why didn't Raven tell me that when the gates collided, she was going to be hurt, too?"
Starfire said neutrally, "The standing Beastboy, you will pick up the fallen girl and bring her with me."
Jinx asked, "Fallen girl? Star, are you ok?"
Starfire said, "I have an immense headache. We are going to the medical ward."
As they started to move toward the tower, Jinx asked, "Medical ward? Don't you normal say 'room of healing' or 'place of medical treatment'?"
Starfire rolled her eyes like she was being talked to by an idiot, but said nothing.
-------------
The teens crowded into the hallway in the medical area. Jinx commanded, "Put Robin and Beastboy into that room. Raven and Kori goes into this room-"
Kitten interrupted with a demand, "Fang gets a private room!"
Jinx looked ticked, and said, "Ok. Fang gets the room over there."
Then Jinx muttered quietly, "As if anyone would want to be in a room with Kitten's boyfriend."
Kitten yelled, "What?"
"Nothing. And Kid Flash and Speedy get the room over there."
Cyborg spoke up, "I'll start examining them…" Then Cyborg slumped against the wall.
He said weakly, "Low on power."
Victor said, "I'll start the medical examines. Who will assist?"
Bumblebee said, "I got some Hive first aid training."
Karen nodded and said softly, "I'll help, too."
Tara angrily said, "No, you are NOT!"
Jinx said, "Terra, unless you have some kind of medical training, then be quiet."
Tara stewed as Terra suppressed a giggle.
Starfire said with a monotone voice, "I help."
Jinx stared at Starfire for a second before saying, "Fine."
Then she said to Richard, "Robin, you will help Cyborg to get recharged. Ok, let's move it people!"
As people started to move the unconscious ones into various beds and gathering medical equipment into those rooms, Richard walked to Jinx. Jinx was helping Kid Flash and Richard waited.
Jinx asked, "Aren't you suppose to be helping Cyborg?"
Richard signal Jinx to come over to him and away from Kid Flash's bed. He whispered, "With your team's Robin down, you are not the leader here. I am."
Jinx angrily whispered back, "I'm the second in command of the Titans here and you and your friends are guests here. Understand?"
"What I understand is that a recently reformed villainess, you, wants to be the head of the Titans. You don't belong in that position."
"This world's Robin appointed me as second-in-command and no nobody from another whacked out dimension is going to replace me!"
Richard frowned and then said, "After everything settles down, I'm calling for a meeting of all the titans here. We'll see who ends up being the leader!"
Jinx said, "FINE!"
Richard turned and headed away.
Kid Flash said, "That guy is such a jerk!"
Jinx said with a worried look, "Yeah, I know."
--------------
Karen walked over to the Beast, who was sitting in the corner of Raven and Kori's room.
She asked, "Hey guy… Beast? Beastie Boy? What do I call you?"
"The Beast. I don't deserve to be called Beastboy again."
"Well, Beast, Beastboy lost a lot of blood and Dr. Victor was wondering if you could donate some blood?"
The Beast's faced paled, "You mean I'll be poke with those big nasty looking needles? No way!"
Karen smiled, "Those needles aren't that big and I'm sure that you are strong enough to withstand a teeny little pain to help poor Beastboy. Ok?"
"How did he lose all that blood?"
"His feet were badly cut up… At least that is what Cyborg and Kid Flash said, but there are no wounds on his feet anymore. Strange, isn't it?"
The Beast stood up and said, "Ok. Let's go."
Karen led him into Beastboy and Robin's room. Both the patients were unconscious. Terra was seated next to Beastboy's bed. She weakly smiled.
Off to one side, Victor held up a three-inch long needle and said loudly with a big grin, "It's needle poking time!"
The Beast's green complexion turned from green to white. He fainted.
------
Kitten complained, "Nobody is checking up on Fang, yet! My boyfriend is going to die."
Killer Moth said in an assuring voice, "Don't worry, my darling daughter. Daddy will go and get some help."
He stuck his head out in the hallway and shouted, "Hey, somebody come here and treat Fang or I'll destroy this building!"
He pulled his head back into the room. "Don't worry Kitten. Daddy has just asked real nice for someone to come here."
Bumblebee walked into the room. "All right! All right! Don't damage the building."
She checked Fang over as the worried father and daughter watched. She then called on her communicator, "Hey, Vic. We got a burn victim here."
Bumblebee put the device to her ear and said, "Yeah… Yeah… Got that… Ok, I'll get him started."
Kitten asked, "Will he be ready for a date, tonight?"
Bumblebee shook her head in disbelief and said, "What! Are you crazy girl? He be in this bed for weeks!"
"But I need a date, tonight! What good is a boyfriend if you can't get him to take you on a date?"
"That is your problem, girl. I got to go and get bandages, saline solutions and stuff."
Kitten quite but intensely said to her father, "I will go on a date tonight!"
-----
Raven's fuzzy consciousness floated in a sea of darkness. No floating islands and no different colored versions of herself.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Her words of meditation and control drifted through the darkness.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Those were the words that conformed her.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Those are the words that are filling her with warmth.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Slowly the dark fog became lighter. Some of Raven's mindscape could be seen.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Those were the words she was not saying.
-----
In bed, Raven cracked her eyes opened and saw a blurry shape that moved away. Raven opened her mouth to say something, but only a painful groan came out.
Two figures came into the room. Raven focused her eyes. Terra and Bumblebee were there. Was that Bumblebee or Karen? Raven asked, "Who was here just now?"
Terra said, "Nobody."
Raven said, "Liar."
Karen spoke up, "No, she is not. We would see anyone coming out of the room. Nobody was here."
Raven eyes stared at Karen a bit before shifting back to Terra. Terra was angrily looking away.
"Sorry."
Terra turned and asked, "What?"
"I won't say it twice."
Raven closed her eyes and her body started to float slightly off of the bed.
Terra, both angry and confused, asked Karen, "What did she say?"
"She said 'Sorry'. Now why is she floating?"
Terra looked thoughtful. "It's her healing trance. She has been doing a lot of that recently."
Terra's communicator beeped.
-----
Terra arrived in the lounge and noticed that most of the titans were al ready there, even Cyborg who only has three hours of recharging. Both Jinx and Richard looked tensed. Starfire looked bored.
Richard pulled out his communicator and said into with, "Victor and Bumblebee, I want you to listen in on this meeting."
He placed his open communicator on the table. Jinx also an open one on the table.
Richard asked with a frown, "Who?"
"Kid Flash will also be in on this meeting."
"No. He is a patient."
"He is the only patient who is awake and he is a teen titan. He is a part of this meeting."
Starfire droned, "Can this meeting hurry up?"
Everyone stared at Starfire.
Starfire rolled her eyes and lazy blew at a miss placed lock of hair away from her eyes.
Jinx asked, "Starfire, shouldn't you be with the patients?"
Starfire explained slowly, "Look. After the meeting, I'm going to bed early. When Bumblebee and Karen end their shift, my shift with the patients will begin."
Jinx said with uncertainty, "…Ok."
Richard frowned at Starfire and then announced to the group, "While your world's Robin is out, we need a leader. We are-"
Tara jumped up, "I know! I know! I volunteer Robin to be our new leader."
Jinxie said, "I second that."
Jinx said, "This is a meeting to decide who will be the leader. We all will get a vote in this."
One of the communicators on the table started to buzz. Richard picked it up and listened to it.
He said, "Kid Flash nominated Jinx."
Terra stood up and said, "I second that. I can't think of a finer pain-in-the-behind good doer than Jinx"
Jinx said, "Thanks, I think."
Richard said, "We know how those four will vote. Jinx what is your vote."
Jinx said, "I vote for myself. I assume the you will vote for yourself."
Richard nodded. The vote was three to three.
Richard picked up the communicator. "How do you guys vote?" He listened for the response before saying, "Bumblebee voted for Jinx and Victor for me."
Richard glanced at Starfire and asked, "Starfire?"
Starfire's eyes dart back and forth in a panic. She replied timidly, "I abstain."
Richard frowned and then asked, "Cyborg?"
"I vote for Jinx."
"Gizmo?"
Gizmo drew in air for a response. He then noticed that Tara was giving him a 'You better not screw this up' type of glare.
"I vote for the least snot-headedness of the two: Robin."
"Thanks, I think. That is five to five. Starfire we need your vote. You can't abstain."
Jinx spoke up a little worry. "Yes, Starfire. Neither Robin nor I will be mad at your decision."
Starfire just sat there, staring off at nothing.
"Starfire?" asked Richard.
"Please Starfire", said Jinx.
Starfire burst into crying. "Both of you hate me. You both never did like me. None of you ever like me! I'm sorry I can't decide!"
Starfire turned and ran out of the room.
Everyone sat in stunned silent.
Cyborg was the first to react, "Starfire?" He then turned and ran, and followed the path Starfire took. Terra was hot on his heels.
Jinxie said to Tara, "Let's go!"
Tara complained, "But I never really did like her."
"Still we have to find her."
"Ok."
They took off.
Jinx still stood there stunned, "What happened? What did we do wrong?"
Richard replied, "I was hoping you could tell me that."
Mikron went over to the video game machine.
Jinx said, "Call off the vote and find Starfire?"
Richard nodded. He said, "Gizmo, you're coming, too!"
Mikron complained, "Oh man! I was starting level one on Mega-Monkeys 4."
Jinx called into her communicator, "Anyone find Starfire, yet?"
Jinxie responded, "Yeah, she is outside of Raven's room."
"Got it. We're coming."
--------
Starfire stood in the doorway of Ravens room. She looked across the gothic room with big eyes. "ohhhh… It can use some pretty flowers."
Jinxie from down the hallway yelled, "Starfire, don't go in there!"
Starfire looked left, then right before pointing at herself and asked with a very happy smile, "Are you talking to me?"
Tara said, "Yes, get away from that room. We heard that there are very bad things in there."
Starfire frowned slightly and brightened to a wide smile and chuckled. "How about we play a game called hide and seek?"
Jinxie said as she started to advance, "Ok. We'll play hide and seek, but not around Raven's room. We play somewhere else."
Starfire giggled, "You two are it." With that said, she jump into Raven's room and shut the door.
Jinxie and Tara went up to the door.
Richard's voice called from behind them, "Where is she?"
Jinxie pointed at Raven's door. "In there."
Jinx, who was following Richard, said, "Not good."
Tara asked, "What do we do?"
Jinxie replied, "I'll open the door. Just make sure you don't touch anything."
The other three nodded.
Jinxie pushed open the door. Starfire was not in the room.
--------------
Victor walked up the hallway. All the patient's rooms were darkened. As he passed Robin and Beastboy's room, he heard the words "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" being repeated over and over again. He looked into the room and sees a hooded figure next to Robin's bed.
Victor said, "Hey, Raven. You shouldn't be out of bed, yet. And your voice doesn't sound normal, too."
The hooded figure stopped her turn slightly toward Victor, and then she returned to her chanting over Robin.
Victor shook his head and went to Kori's room to check on her. On the next bed next to Kori's bed, Raven still lay there.
Victor stopped in to confusion and listened. He can still hear the chanting from Robin's room.
Victor pulled out his communicator. "Robin, we got a problem. There are two Ravens up here. One asleep and the other in Robin and Beastboy's room."
"What the… Phoenix! Somehow Phoenix came across. We'll be there shortly. It pay back time for Phoenix!"
