Titan's Universe

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

Beastboy was reading a comic book as he sat next to the great stone table that Terra had earlier assembled. He chuckled as turned the last page and then complained, "Ah man! When is the next issue is coming out?"

Jinx came out to the nearby garage door. "Where is Terra? I've traced her to here but she is not answering her communicator."

Beastboy stood and slapped the side of the table twice. Terra slowly came up through the table until she was lying on top of it.

Jinx said, "Nifty trick. Something new?"

Terra complained, "Beastboy, this was suppose to be our secret."

Beastboy said, "She traced you here because you have your communicator."

Terra looked embarrassed. She said, "Well, what's up?"

Jinx replied, "Everyone is gathering at the obstacle course. I also need your help in getting back Karen's stingers. They're buried."

"Ok. Just don't tell anyone what you saw here; especially Dangerous Girl."

Jinx nodded with a smile.

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

Alternate Universe

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

Slade surveyed the battered city hall. He shook his head saying, "tsk, tsk, tsk."

He held out his hands and commanded, "Come forth, minion of Trigon."

Before him, a small flame appeared. The flame grew and transformed, becoming halfway man like: a fire demon. The demon floated there and glared at Slade.

Slade chuckled, "You are not used to having a master of your master. Well, get used it. I have a task for you and your friends. This building doesn't suit my tastes. Go gather some slaves to build a palace magnificent enough for your true master."

With that command, thirty more fire demons appeared. They all left the room searching for human captives.

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

Titan's Universe

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

Raven surveyed the obstacle course area. Almost everyone was here, milling about with some avoiding others. Next to her waiting patiently was Starfire. Starfire continuously stared at the ground. Raven sighed and then spotted Jinx, Beastboy and Terra coming into the area. Jinx was carrying a pair of Karen's stingers and she and Beastboy were heading toward Karen. Terra was heading straight for Raven.

Raven muttered, "One of last people in the world I needed to see."

Terra walked up and said quietly but intensely, "Raven, we got a problem."

Raven asked neutrally, "What?"

"When Dangerous Girl buried Karen's stingers, she made the whole place look like a grave. It had a tombstone with the words: Bumblebee Phoenix's Thrall May She Rot In Hell".

Starfire looked up and quietly said, "That is unforgivable. Friend Terra, perhaps you misread this tombstone."

Terra shook her head, "Beastboy and Jinx were there, too."

Raven asked, "Why tell us? Shouldn't you tell Robin?"

"Jinx thought that everyone on our side should know, incase they decide to attack Karen. But please don't tell our other selves that we know."

Raven nodded.

Starfire asked, "Could my sister Kori also be one of the attackers?"

Terra said, "I don't know, Star. Let do our best to protect Karen. Ok?"

Starfire said, "I will assure her safely."

Terra smiled as she turned to head to Robin.

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

Karen, Bumblebee, Kid Flash and Speedy hung out as a group.

Speedy was telling of his past deeds, "And then I fired my last three arrows at the control room's door, blowing it into scrape, naturally.

Bumblebee interjected, "You forgot to tell about me shorting out the force field on that door, Speedy."

Karen started laughing.

Speedy looked confused, "It wasn't that funny."

Karen responded, "It's just the thought of you two on the same team and working so well together. In my world, Speedy and I were always on opposite sides in a fight."

Jinx and Beastboy came walking up.

Karen exclaimed, "My Stingers!"

Jinx smiled, "Yep! Now I got some thing to explain to you guys about how we found them."

As Jinx start to describe about the grave, Beastboy looked around. There was Kori standing by herself, looking down at the ground. Beastboy walked over to her but Kori didn't notice him. He stepped onto the ground her was blankly staring at, leaned over and smiled.

Kori jerked in surprise. "Friend Beastboy! My greetings to you. Why are you here?"

Beastboy said, "I don't know… It's looked like you can use a friend right now."

Kori looked down again, "After the horrible thing I did with my sister's boyfriend, a person like me deserves no friends."

"Sure you got friends. Lots of friends. More friends than you can count… Well at least more friends than I can count."

"Really?"

"Yeah. There is One… Two… Three… More than Three… Lot more than Three… Twenty-teen… More than Twenty-teen…"

Kori wrapped her arms around Beastboy and started crying. Beastboy froze, not knowing what to do.

----------

The Beast headed up to Raven, and said, "Hey, when you go to Phoenix, I want to be there. I owe it to her."

Raven said darkly, "We will be going into her mind: a very dangerous place."

The Beast smirked, "Been there, done that. When do we go?"

Raven sighed, "Fine."

Starfire left those two and wandered over to the crying Kori. Richard also came, frowning at Beastboy. Beastboy gave them the most hopeless look he could as Kori continued crying.

Richard's frown softened and said, "Let me take her."

He gently pulled her off of Beastboy and into his arms. Kori crying quieted. "Robin", she asked.

Richard smiled, "It's times like this that remind what a butthead I am."

A confused Kori said, "Why, Robin? I am the one who kiss the wrong Robin. I have hurt my friends."

Richard said softly, "What you did was an accident, a mistake. My anger afterwards wasn't. All I did was sulk."

Kori rested her head on Richard's shoulder. "Let me stay here for a while…"

Starfire walked up to the two and hugged them both. She asked, "Better, Sister?"

Kori nodded and Richard looked like he was having problems breathing.

Starfire smiled gently, "As your Robin said: I, too, been the butt of head type of person. Please forgive me, my sister."

Richard was grasping.

Kori said, "Forgiveness is given. Please forgive to troubles I have caused you, Sister."

Richard's face was turning blue.

Starfire exclaimed, "Yes! I do! We are now both forgiven! I am so happy!"

Beastboy broke in, "I think Robin needs air."

Starfire said, "eep" as she released them. "Why did you not speak of this, Robin?"

Richard said as was catching his breath, "And interrupt you two? No way."

Raven voice was heard in the background, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" and darkness started to again leak out of the inscriptions on the obstacle coarse.

Richard asked Kori, "Ready?"

Kori nodded, "Yes, I am, Friend Robin."

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

Alternate Universe

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

The gate opened on the island, not far from the ruins of Teen Tower. This time, it is a much smaller, less noticeable gate, only eight feet across.

The Titans (and a few want-to-be villains) crept through the gate in ones and twos. Richard's eyes scanned for any Phoenix-bots but none were to be found. He signaled Kori and Jinxie toward the far side of the island, away from the view of the city across the bay. He stayed and continued directing people as they arrived. Raven was the last one to arrive and the gate vanished as she exited from it.

Raven said as she looked at the tower's ruins, "So this is your place, Robin. It could use a new set of curtains."

Richard said, "Ha, Ha and Ha. You are just as funny as Beastboy."

Raven stared at him for a bit before saying, "Ouch. That's hurts."

They walked to the far side of the island where the rest were gathered.

Raven announced as she held up Phoenix's mediation mirror, "Starfire, the Beast and I will be going into Phoenix's mind. Do not come anywhere near this mirror."

The mirror was almost completely repaired, with only a few cracks remaining.

Victor stepped up. "Hey, Raven. Take me, too."

Raven said, "You must be Victor. You should stay here."

"Hey, I was there when she became the Phoenix and I will be there when she needs my help the most. Raven, please let me see this through."

Raven glanced at Richard, who nodded.

Raven said, "Ok. You're in."

Kori said, "Take me, too. I wish to help my sister to be rid of the Phoenix personality."

Raven shook her head. "I can't. You have too much hostility toward Phoenix and that could have end up hurting Starfire. You'll stay here. Starfire, Victor and the Beast: Stand next to me."

When they gathered, Raven put a hand on the mirror's surface and chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." The crack in the mirror vanished and the four were sucked into it.

The mirror fell to the ground.

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

Phoenix's Mind

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

In Phoenix's mind, the floating structures of islands and bridges were broken up with small fragments drifting around. A doorway that used to exist upon one of those islands, now floated in space by itself. The four tumbled out of a door way and fell in free fall.

As the Beast transformed into a green pterodactyl, two female voices called out, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"

Two sets of black fields reached out toward falling Victor and collided around him. Raven eyes widen slightly in surprise as Starfire voice commanded, "You'll cease interfering with me, whoever you are."

Raven, who was now floating, said, "No. You will release Victor. I have the better hold on him."

The Phoenix controlled Starfire said evenly, "I will take care of my own teammates. Release him!"

Raven said slowly, "I don't trust you, yet, Phoenix. You are not in full control of yourself. Be sensible and let him go. I have him."

Starfire snapped, "Idiot. This is my mind and I am in control here."

"The only idiot is the one who thinks she is in control of herself."

Victor fall slowed to a stop as the two competing forces still clawed at him and each other to win control. "Hey, girls. We're here to help, not fight. Phoenix-"

Starfire snapped again, "I Am RAVEN! Not PHOENIX!" She then pointed at Raven, "And YOU are just a copy, a fake. And all fakes can't be trusted."

An annoyed Raven said in a matter of talking down to a child, "Well, Raven, we're here to put your shattered mind back together again before you hurt anyone else. Now release Victor."

"Who is Victor? And I will not permit you to order me around in my own mind… This feeling I'm feeling is not my anger… It's a little different."

Raven released Victor and said, "It's probably Starfire's anger that you are feeling. Your anger is still running around somewhere this abysmal place."

"And I suppose your so called mind is so much better… And Who And What Are YOU?"

"I'm Raven from another dimension. Unlike you, I've won against my urges. We are here to fix your mistakes."

Starfire gave out a hiss.

Victor interrupted, "Hey girls. We can talk about this later. We got Trigon to stop and please don't drop me."

The argument went silent. Starfire pointed at a distant island. "We will go there."

They all flew silently and landed on the edge of the largest floating island in sight. It's far side couldn't been seen due to a small island in the center of the island.

The Beast turned back into human form. "Hey, Raven. Why didn't we bring Terra here? With all this floating earth stuff around here, her powers would have been great."

Starfire looked confused and started to say something, but Raven spoke over the top of her, "Two reasons, Beast. First, the earth you see around here is not really earth, but a mental illusion. Second, she annoys the hell out of me. I can't trust her."

Starfire said, "Sounds like somebody I'd like already."

Raven turned toward her, growling, "Listen, you morbid Airhead! You don't know-"

Suddenly the island shook slightly, stopping the verbal fight. Then it shook slightly more and the sound of a giant's footsteps was heard.

Victor said with worry, "Get already, ya all. Here comes the rest of Raven's personality."

Around the edge of the mountain came a giant red version of Raven. She only had two brighten yellow eyes this time peering out from under her cowl. Her cloak was filled with rips and tears. Her face was a mask of anger and hatred.

She roared and from her eyes shot two red beams at Starfire. Starfire sweep her right hand in front of her and from an arc of green edged darkness came out and floated before her. The two beams impacted on it and exploded. Starfire was thrown backwards, but stayed on her feet.

Raven chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" as Victor fired his sonic cannon at the giantess. Red Phoenix howled as she was hit and then a loop of darkness fell over her, trapping her arms to her sides.

The Beast transformed into an elephant and charged.

Red Phoenix stained against her binding and with a grunt broke the dark bands. Red beams emitted from her eyes once again, striking the Beast. He fell and plowed into the ground.

Starfire shouted, "NO", and then from her a purplish mist emerged. As Starfire stood shakily as the mist formed into the purple version of Raven. That Raven ran toward the fallen Beast.

Starfire mumbled in pain, "Ugh… I hurt."

The Giantess shot two more beams at the purple replica Raven but it was intercepted by a shield of darkness conjured by Raven. Cyborg ran forward up to foot and swung his fists down on the giantess' smallest toe. Red Phoenix yelled in angry pain, "Hurt!"

Cyborg said, "So she can talk", and then he dodged as the giant foot trying to step on him. Cyborg disappeared from Starfire and Raven sight behind Red Phoenix's foot.

"NO", yelled Starfire, and then a green mist came out Starfire, followed by rest of various colors of the replicas of Phoenix. As they from to take shape, Starfire fell to her hands and knees. A metallic red ball of light also floated away from her head.

The Giantess said, "I can speak again. The rest is me is back. But now I'll have to put the rest of my emotions back under the ground."

The Beast stirred and opened his eyes.

She reached down to the approaching purplish one and picked her up in one hand. "Say goodbye to compassion as I squeeze her to death."

The Beast yelled, "Phoenix! No!"

He changed into bird and flew upward.

The purplish stared at the giant Phoenix with eyes full on compassion. Red Phoenix flinched. The green one charged toward the giantess. The orange one belched, lay down and went to sleep.

Raven said loudly, "You will release her now or you will regret it."

A gray cloaked one said to Raven, "Sorry about that not trusting you remark."

Starfire stood up and said, "Yes, release… so many Ravens… Have I missed something?"

The yellow one remarked, "Yes. Let me inform you about all of it so we can formulate a plan."

The giantess laughed again. "This is entertaining, but now it ends… What is that?"

The glowing ball of light floated before the giant. A voice came it saying, "I am also the anger and rage of this mind, too."

As the green one attacked the giantess' foot and was mostly ignored, the giant said, "If you are also anger and rage, then join into me. Make me stronger."

The giantess swept her left foot, knocking the green one aside.

The Beast landed on the giantess' hand that was holding the purple one, changed into a green tiger and bit down on her hand. With a scream of outraged pain, Phoenix dropped the purple one. The Beast fell, too.

The giantess fired two eye beams down at the purplish one. The Beast leaped into the way of the blast. She was protected, while he fell in pain. Cyborg and Starfire started to blast away at Red Phoenix, while Raven threw a dark shield over the purple one and the Beast. The purple one started to heal the Beast.

The metallic red light said, "Enough! I'm full of rage, now! You will desist!"

With that the light started to grow larger and the red Phoenix started to shrink.

The attacks stopped as Phoenix demanded, "What are you doing? Why are you draining me? We are both anger and rage! We are both the same thing!"

The light took on the form of a bronze red Phoenix. She said angrily, "You are anger and rage! I am righteous anger! I am not you!"

Raven said, "One of Starfire's emotions has imprinted itself onto Phoenix's mind."

The giant lost a third of her size. Once again she fired her energy blasts while the bronze one fired a pair back. The beams met half way between them and splashed against each other like two streams of water fired against each other. The Red Phoenix continued to shrink. As she became human sized, both the Red and Bronze one wavered and fell over. All the Phoenix's replicas fell to the ground exhausted.

Raven said, "They've used all the energy left in Phoenix's body."

The Beast got up and asked the purple one, "Are you alright?"

The purple smiled gently, "Yes, but are you alright, too? Do you need more healing?"

The Beast smiled, but Raven interrupted, "Beast! Victor! The red one possesses Phoenix's spirit. See if you can called your Raven back."

Victor acknowledged, "Got it."

The Beast said, "Ok." And then he said to the purple one, "I'll be back."

As she lay on the ground, the Phoenix was growling slightly as Victor and the Beast approached. "Get away me."

Victor said, "But Raven, we're your friends."

Phoenix snapped, "I have no friends. You are lying. Everyone lies to me."

The Beast leaned over her, "No, Raven. We are your friends"

"No you are-"

She was interrupted by the Beast's tight hug. He said, "Phoenix, I'm not leaving here alone. You have friends… Friends who haven't forgotten you. Friends who still care, like me."

The Phoenix cried and a red mist boiled off of her. It reformed into a red version of her a short distance away. The person who was left in the Beast's arms wore only a dark blue cloak.

She asked, "Beastboy?"

He smiled, "Welcome back, Raven."

She weakly smiled.

Then she closed her eyes and started chanted over and over again, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

Raven said, "She has entered a healing trance. We should leave now."

Starfire asked, "Is Phoenix a friend, now?

The Beast replied, "Yes!"

Victor said, "Of course."

Raven thought a bit before saying, "Maybe… Maybe not."

Phoenix's chanted sounded weak and worried. Raven lean down and placed a hand upon Phoenix's forehead. A dark glow emitted from it.

The Beast asked with concern, "What are you doing?"

Raven responded, "She is exhausted. I'm giving her some of my energy."

In the padded cell, Phoenix body floated as her healing trance begun.
