Her mouth still ajar, Raven stared in disbelief at the reflection she saw in the mirror. Her first thought was that it was a trick, one of Cyborg's juvenile pranks. Yet the sense of dread spread through her mind, its icy fingers tightly gripped her spine as her reflection stared back at her. If this was one of Cyborg's high tech holographic jokes, he had outdone himself. And of course that meant that Gar was in on the gag as well.

Raven closed her eyes and raised her hands in front of her face. With her eyes still screwed shut she took a deep breath and counted to 3. She opened her eyes and saw that her hands were not gray.

She looked back at the mirror, which continued to mock her with Terra's face. She reached for her hair and saw that it was indeed blond. She dropped her hands to her side and shook her head in disbelief. It was then that she noticed that she wasn't in her bathroom. Ducking quickly back into the bedroom she confirmed that she was in one of the guest rooms.

What the Trigon was Gar thinking, pulling a prank like this on her. Did he really think he would get away with something like this? That she wouldn't punish him for being so cruel to her? And Cyborg, he would get it too.

First things first, she needed to find Beast Boy. She reached out with her empathic powers … and nothing. She began to hyperventilate and calmed herself. She then tried to teleport herself back to her room … and nothing happened.

"My powers …" She muttered to herself.

Raven frowned. Did they actually give her a dose of inhibitol? How else could her powers be absent?

Still in her pajamas Raven stormed out of the guest room and made a beeline to Beast Boy's room. This was beyond a bad prank. She reached for his keypad and stopped, remembering that she had never learned the unlocking code for his door, as she never needed it. Gritting her teeth she began to pound on his door with both fists.

"GAR! Open the door right now!" She shouted.

Raven continued to pound on the door and shout at him to open up.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" His muffled voice replied through the still closed door.

Raven stopped slamming her fists on the door and was almost hyperventilating when it opened, revealing his boxer clad figure.

"Terra, what's the matter, is everything OK?"

"Don't you Terra me, Gar! This has to be the stupidest prank you've ever pulled on me."

"Terra, what are you talking about?"

"This isn't funny Gar … whatever you and Cyborg did to me; you're going to undo it right now!"

Beast Boy stared at Raven, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Terra, do you feel OK?"

"Stop calling me that!"

Beast Boy looked even more confused than before. Either he had become an excellent actor … or he was an idiot.

"Then, what should I call you?" He stammered.

"How about Raven, you moron!"

Beast Boy stepped away from the door. Then Raven's heart froze. She saw Raptor get out of Beast Boy's bed, slipping a robe on to cover her unclad figure.

"RAPTOR!" Raven shrieked. "What the Trigon are you doing in bed with him!"

The gray sorceresses calmly approached the door.

"You have the wrong sorceress Terra. And what I do with my fiancé is none of your business, now leave us alone, that is you want to remain a member of this team. In case you have forgotten, you are walking on thin ice to begin with." The sorceress replied in a gravelly monotone.

Raven suppressed a scream when she saw that Raptor no longer had the scar on her face, but quickly regained her composure.

"I don't know what your game is Raptor. This is what I get for taking you in and feeling pity for you. I can't believe you'd stoop so low to steal Gar from me … what a fool I was to actually believe that we were now sisters …"

The gray sorceress stared back at her.

"I knew you were unstable Terra, but I actually hoped we could reform you. Instead it turns out that you are the same old psychopath you've always been."

Raven felt her ire rise inside of her, like a volcano about to explode. Then, to her shock and surprise bits and pieces of concrete began to peel off the hallway walls and they floated around her. She gasped and they fell to the floor.

"I heard someone shouting, is everything OK?" A familiar voice called form behind her.

Raven spun around, beginning to panic. Her face fell when she saw Raptor, with her facial scar, standing in the hallway.

"No, nooooo! It can't be … it's impossible!" Raven shouted.

"C'mon Terra, let's go to the infirmary. I'll give you a sedative and then run some tests. We'll figure out what's wrong with you. I know that Raven used some of her powers on you last night … I got some medicine for that … you'll feel better." Cyborg remarked.

Raven clenched her teeth.

"There's nothing wrong with me! I'm not Terra! I'm Raven." She screamed at the bionic Titan.

Raptor silently approached her from behind and wrapped her arms around the girl who looked like Terra. Cyborg produced a hypospray and injected a sedative into the blond, who slumped unconscious into Raptor's arms.

The night before …

Terra spent some idle time with Beast Boy and Raptor after Raven turned in for the night. The changeling looked disappointed and Raptor offered him moral support, reassuring him that Raven would be fine tomorrow. Terra's heart ached to see him in such emotional distress. He was engaged to the witch and she still treated him like dirt, kicking him out of her room simply because she was having one of her "moods".

The blond sighed; knowing well that while Raven was far from being the perfect girlfriend that she herself was worse. Terra recalled that she herself had broken his heart three times and that coming back to the Tower, hoping to reset the clock, was little more than a pipe dream.

As she mentioned earlier she felt nauseous. But she was also feeling anger swell in her chest. Who did Raven think she was? She couldn't just beat up on her because she was overly possessive of Beast Boy. Suddenly the dry heaves came back.

"I think I need to go to bed. I feel awful …" Terra remarked as she rubbed her head.

"Terra, I'm really sorry that Raven hurt you … you have to believe me … she didn't mean to …"

Terra approached him and pecked him on the cheek.

"It's OK BB, I'll be fine … goodnight … I'll see you guys in the morning …" She said quietly as she left the common room.

After the doors slid shut, Raptor looked at the changeling.

"So you really had a thing for her, huh?"

"I was still a kid … I don't know why she's still so … infatuated with me." He replied uneasily.

Raptor took his hand.

"C'mon … let's go."

"RAPTOR! You too?"

She frowned at him.

"Don't tease me Gar. You know I want you, but it isn't meant to be … I'm just escorting you to your room so she doesn't try anything stupid."

-( scene break )-

Terra trudged into her room and plopped herself face up on her bed. All she could think about was Raven and how she went ballistic over a simple hug. Did she really think she was the only woman who had feelings for Beast Boy? And what was with her being all buddy-buddy with Raptor? If Raven had a real competitor for BB's heart, it was her interdimensional twin. For goodness sake! Raptor was BB's ex lover! She had slept with him!

Terra felt the anger and jealousy swell in her chest. This woman, who was literally a stranger, had been far more intimate with Beast Boy than she ever did.

I've never even kissed him.

Terra rose from the bed and changed into her pajamas. After brushing her teeth she turned off the lights and got into bed.

We didn't even train today. They're probably gonna send me away and I'll never see BB again … oh who am I kidding … I never had a chance … he's gonna marry Raven … there's nothing I can do about that …

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Terra sat up, wide eyed and turned on the lights.

"Who said that?" She asked nervously.

She scanned the room, verifying that there were indeed no intruders.

Maybe I am wound up a little too tight. I'm hearing voices.

She turned off the light and placed her head back on her pillow. She closed her eyes and sighed.

You aren't hearing anything imaginary Terra. I am very real.

"Who are you?" She asked in a trembling voice.

That is unimportant. What is important is: do you want Beast Boy for yourself?

Terra sat up in the still dark room.

"Duh! Of course I do."

I can give him to you.

Terra frowned.

"OK, now I know I'm losing it."

Not at all Terra, you are 100% sane.

"Yeah, that's what all crazy people say."

Remember that surge you felt when Raven stared you in the eyes?

"How could I forget? I almost threw up. And I'm still feeling queasy."

Terra paused, feeling a sense of dread in her stomach.

"Who are you?"

I am Rage… Raven's rage, I swapped myself with your Rage.

"What are you talking about? That makes no sense!"

Never mind Terra, the mechanics of what happened are irrelevant. What really matters is that I can give Beast Boy to you.

Terra frowned.

"And how exactly will you do that? In case you've forgotten, they're engaged."

Terra heard the voice laugh in her head.

Yes, you are quite right. But that won't be a problem.

"Really, so you're telling me that BB is gonna dump Raven and run off with me?"

Of course not.

"This makes no sense. If they're still gonna get married, then how do I get him?"

Very simple, my dear … you and Raven are going to swap bodies.

"Are you crazy … you can't do that!"

Actually , I can … you see, I can only stay in your body for a few more hours. After that your Rage and I will return to our bodies. However, if you choose to do so, you can come with me.

"And what about Raven? Won't it get crowded in her head if we become roommates?"

If I return with you while Raven is asleep, she will get bounced into your body, and she won't even know it until she wakes up next morning.

"Yeah, and then she'll tell everyone what happened."

And no one will believe her, since she will be in your body and won't have access to her powers. The Titans will either lock her up in a padded cell or kick her out. Either way, we win.

"We win?"

Of course. You don't think I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Terra, like me you crave power. That's how Slade won you over. Don't deny it, you enjoyed being his apprentice, so much so that you were willing to betray Beast Boy, even kill him.

"Don't remind me of that." Terra hissed.

Terra, Terra … I'm not asking you to kill him. I like him too … he is exquisite … it must be his animal DNA, but I digress. Raven is holding me back; she deludes herself into believing that she is some sort of hero, and therefore suppresses me.

"What are you saying?" Terra asked in wary voice.

What I'm saying is that we can rule the entire universe, with Beast Boy at our side. We will have so much power and we won't be afraid to use it.

"I don't know about this … will he ever know that it's really me and not Raven?" She stammered.

Eventually he will. Does it really matter?

"Yes, it does! I don't want him calling out her name while he makes love to me!"

As in all things Terra, there are compromises to be made. What are your alternatives? To meekly train with the Titans, putting up with Raven's browbeating, only to get shipped off to some backwater where you won't get in the way? Is that what you really want? Do you really want to lose him forever; do you want to be alone?

Terra fought back against the tears forming in her eyes.

"No, I don't … he was mine first … it's not fair …"

You are right, it's not fair … but you need to make your decision now Terra … time is running out. Raven is asleep right now and we won't get another chance.

"This … this is so sudden … I don't know."

Very well, I see that I wasted my time coming to you, that you lack the nerve to do what is right. Never mind Terra, I shall leave now … you won't even remember that I came to you…

"No! Wait!"

Yes?

"I'll do it."

Deep in the recesses of Terra's mind Rage smiled.

So I have your consent?

"Yes"

Please lay down in your bed.

Terra complied and felt as if she had been hit by a bolt of lightning. Her head felt as if it was swimming in icy water and everything went black. She couldn't feel anything for a moment, just numbness, which seemed to last an eternity. Finally she was able to open her eyes and she sat up with a start.

She was in Raven's bed. It wasn't a dream.

She raised her hands and saw that they were gray. Still disbelieving what had just happened she bolted for the bathroom and turned on the lights.

It was true. Raven's gray face, with its chakra stone stared back at her.

"Whoa!"

Congratulations Terra, to the bold go the spoils and you were bold.

"So what do we do now?"

The first thing we do is change out of these frumpy pajamas. Open the bottom drawer of the chest, what we need is in there.

Terra complied and laughed when she saw the contents.

"Raven shops at Victoria's Secret?"

She hoped that maybe it would help her become less repressed … it didn't work. But Gar loves them, so pick something out and put it on!

"What? You mean now?"

Absolutely. Gar always goes into the dumps when Raven sends him away for the night. If we show up in his room wearing this … he'll be putty in our hands … and he'll be extra big and hard tonight!

"Wait a minute … are you saying …"

I thought you wanted to get laid, Terra.

"It's just that … this is so sudden … I'm not ready, I've never done this before…"

Understandable … you still are a virgin … oh well, tell you what, I'll drive and you can come along for the ride.

"That won't be any different!"

Oh Terra, I was afraid you would chicken out. Fortunately I came prepared.

Terra suddenly found herself shackled in a dungeon.

"Rage, what's going on! Let me go!"

Rage appeared in front of her, clad in her crimson red cape, her four demonic eyes glowing like burning embers.

Sorry Terra, but we need to move forward. And all I need from you is to stay put in this comfy cell. As long as your soul inhabits Raven's body then it will remain alive and I can use it as I please. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for a "date" with Gar.

Terra found that she could see out of Raven's eyes and could feel everything Raven's body felt. She watched as Rage changed into a lacy set of undergarments, after which she perfumed herself. She then felt a chill that she recognized as Raven's teleportation powers and saw they were now in Beast Boy's room. Rage walked up next to the bed and gently roused the changeling.

"Wake up, Gar," Terra heard Raven's monotone speak.

Beast Boy rubbed his eyes and sat up in his bed.

"Raven?"

"Yes, it's me."

He turned on the light and saw the semi naked sorceress standing next to him.

"Whoa! You look … great. Are you feeling better?"

"I am, but I need you Gar, I need you to help me feel even better." Rage replied in Raven's monotone.

Terra watched in horror as the scene unfolded before her. Rage was quick in her seduction of the changeling.

BB, please stop, it's me … please stop. I don't want to do this … not yet … I'm not ready … please stop.

Her pleas were unheard by the changeling.

-( scene break )-

I hope that wasn't too intense. I am thinking of reclassifying this as an 'M' story. What do you think?

And now … mailbag time … which again is short due to the lack of reviews.

Dragonkyng -"Good to see your continuing this story. Can't wait to see how it ends."

Thx! Part 2 is shaping up to be an even bigger rollercoaster ride than part 1

EbonyVergil - "Hmmm, Did Terra and Raven swap bodies? Did Rage swap places with one of Terra's emotions and is now inside the blonde's head? Did Rage transfer all of Raven's embarrassing secrets to Terra. Thus allowing the Geomancer to use them for blackmail? Oh the scenarios!

Btw, those dark tendrils of Raven's pack one hell of a wallop. One hit and a broken arm for Beast Boy? Ouch! Imagine getting hit with more than one, that's hospitalization right there!

Good chapter, I wish I had time to update my story as much as you are updating yours. Always a pleasure to read'em."

Thx! You guessed well.

The Cretin - "Well I'm honored. Hearing that come from you has made my day. Of course, I wouldn't call me a dream for every fanficcer. I can be a nightmare sometimes. Speakin of which, King Minos has ordered an MD Geist writer to be fed to The Minotaur at midnight. On another note, cool chap. I have to wonder if crisscrossing dimensions didn't switch Rae's emoticlones with Raptor's or something of that nature. I guess I'll have to wait and find out. I will say you're doing an excellent job at showing the possessiveness and uneasiness that Rae's goin through. She needs to find out and realize that she is Gar's one and only as of right now. That's a shame about the fanfic writer who resigned. I hope he/she comes back. Moreso, I hope it wasn't someone I like. I don't know what to think if you or Sir Alwick resigned. I miss Novus and Bleeding Writer terribly among others. Things happen though, life kicks in, and such. Anyway, I'm rambling. You remain as awesome always. I wish you and your family the best. Keep rockin and good luck"

Thanks! And it's true, if more people reviewed writers wouldn't give up. I know that other writers (the good ones) get very discouraged when only a hand full of people reviews a chapter. Also, I think it might be a Teen Titans thing. My most reviewed story ... was posted in the Young Justice section (to be fair it was a TT/YJ crossover).

LordGodsServant - "Uh ooooooohhh, I have an idea what happened.

I think that Rage, in the wake of rejection by both versions of Raven, decided to seek a home elsewhere.

I think that Rage, when there was a suitable candidate around, surged to the surface and either hopped into Terra (the most likely happening) or split up and hopped into several people who were present. Terra did say she wanted to hurl.

I wonder what happened with Raven.

Good Day and God Bless :)

Sincerely, LordGodsServant"

Thanks. When I think of it, "Rage" is more than "rage". I believe she is everything demonic (Trigonic) about Raven.

Hairul The Nightrage Beast - "Ok Raptor just gave a big FU to Rage and now Raven is in morning distress, next chapter please for the fic :D And not forgetting update 8 years if you got the time, hate it when you leave a good fic half way on it's tracks."

I must apologize over "8 years Later". I believe that I ruined that story with the introduction of the next gen Titans (from the comics). I am seriously considering going back to chapter 20 and starting over with a new subplot that is more BB/Raven centric and closer to the TV Show "canon".

WarriorsFan26 - "Seriously...another.

Good thing I have my Big Time Rush to keep me occupied and a busy week ahead of me. but i must say...

PLEASE HURRY!"

And another one!

Wrath lover - "NOOOOOOOOOO! HOW COULD YOU STOP IT LIKE THAT? Geez, I swear you're gonna make everybody lose their minds waiting.

Anyways, what an awesome chapter. Terra sooooo got what she deserved! But is Raven turning into Rage? Is her appearance changing into Trigon? O_o That would be kinda creepy...

Anyways, can't wait for the next chapter!

Please post soon! "

I know, another cliffy, but I will update this weekend,

titanfan45 - "Another cliff hanger, you're evil you know that? Great place for a cliff hanger though. My last review should have read "I hope Raven is smart enough not to completely trust Rapter...but after reading this chapter it seems that Raptor was trustworthy and yet with the ending I'm completely confused. So, great job! The next chapter will hopefully make things clear again."

I hope it did clarify a few things.
