A/N: Sniff. I love you all! I love each and every one of you! I can't believe all the good reviews I got!

Ahem. Anyway, back to business. Once again, I am sorry about the lateness of this chapter. Each chapter takes about two days in RL to make, so I really don't have an excuse. But I'll try (key word; try) to update this about once every week or so.

Anyway, onto more writer-y business. This chapter is more centric on the growing relationship between Danny and Raven, even if neither of them know it. I appreciate all the wonderfull reviews I got, and will try to start incorporating them into this story. Also, after my next chapter I'm gonna start looking for a beta. So in anywhere between two days and two years I'll be actually looking at the beta menu.

Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or Teen Titans. Sadly.

The Minds Eyes

Clockwork, as an old man, stared at the giant screen in his tower, static covering it like a snowstorm. It looks like a T.V. without a signal; the only difference was the lack of sound.

Two of the one eyed watchers come up to him. "This is your fault, Clockwork. Your fiddling has left the time line unstable and unreadable."

Clockwork sighed. "I had no choice." He didn't really like or respect the Watchers, but he did feel he owed them an explanation. He turned into a baby as he turned around, the static behind him never fading. "If I did not interfere the way I did, Trigon would have destroyed the earth."

"Yes, but it would have passed. It always does." The watchers respond in their usual, uncaring tone.

Clockwork stared at the two one eyed ghosts. "Do you not care what would have happened to the humans?"

The watchers started back. The thermos on the table to the side jumps up a bit, as if a ridiculously strong ghost was doing his best to get out. Clockwork turned into a young adult.

"No."

Clockwork sighed in the abandoned tower. Ever since his screen has been unable to read the future, the Watchers have left to who knows where. He may not be able to see the future any more, but he could still tell that the Watchers would return one day. Hopefully not one day soon.

He looked around his tower. All that he had left was his staff, his useless screen, a few broken time medallions, and the thermos filled with several hundred random ghosts.

He never told the Watchers this, but the evil Danny Phantom was nowhere to be found.

He sighed, contemplating. He had a plan, of course. The baby with old eyes stared at the static-filled screen with sadness. He didn't like messing with the time-line... but he had grown rather fond of the humans. They were unique. And he had no choice if he wanted to save them.

The young man did a quick distance teleportation, teleporting a meditating Danny Phantom away to further his goals.

The old man sat down in a chair. To a ghost of time, every day was Monday, even this Sunday.

-line-

Danny was meditating. He knew he had been moved, and he had a strong suspicion who did it, but he didn't care. At least not until his meditation was interrupted by a half robot's yell of, "Yo, ghost boy! What're you doing here?"

Danny sighed as he opened his eyes, revealing a very strange sight. Utter darkness, with red lights akin to stars all over the place and a few floating rocks. He sighs and turns around, still in his meditation position, to eye two of his least favorite people. Beast Boy and Cyborg. "I'd answer if I knew where 'here' is."

"Don't kid with me, boy! Why're you in Raven's mirror?"

Beast boy was still looking around, rather confused. "Duuuude, what's with this place?"

Danny was about to reply to Cyborg, ignoring Beast boy, when the rocks started rearranging into a kind of spiraling path downwards. Danny's eyes widened. "Man, this place would give the ghost zone a run for it's money..."

Cyborg and Beast boy didn't hear the ghost boys muttering as they looked at each other and down the ramp. "Man, if this is Raven's idea of a joke, sending us to weirdsville..."

Cyborg interrupted him. "Hey, she didn't send us here. You were the one popin' zits in her magic mirror."

"Who bobby traps a mirror?"

"Maybe it wasn't a trap. Maybe this is Raven's way..."

There friendly bickering was interrupted by Danny's voice, already walking down the path. "You coming or what?"

"Dude, watch where you're going! This place could be full of Raven traps!"

"Would you rather stay their?"

Cyborg, remembering that the third member of their little trapped team was Danny Phantom, quickly pointed his sonic cannon at his head. "And why should we follow you?"

Danny didn't even flinch. "Because this is the only way. Unless you planning on jumping down..." He gestured to the space beyond.

Cyborg growled slightly. "Then maybe we should just take care of you here and now."

Danny scoffed. "Please. Even if you could, it's pointless; their might be dangers here, or puzzles or something. We all need all the help we can get."

Cyborg was upset at the ghost's scoffing of his abilities, so his sonic cannon started firing up when Beast Boy tapped his shoulder. "Dude, he's got a point."

Cyborg sighed as he powered down his cannon. "...Fine."

Danny nodded. "Good. Now if you're done being stupid..."

Cyborg's cannon immediately powered back up. "If you do anything suspicious..."

"Don't worry. I'm not stupid like you."

Beast boy chuckled a bit at that as Cyborg glared at them both, his cannon turning back into a hand. Why did it feel like everybody was against him?

The three super powered teenagers walked along in silence, not talking to one another, each of them thinking deeply in what was going on.

-Danny-

Danny, as usual, didn't show his emotions. But he was annoyed. Very, very annoyed. The only ghost that he knew that could pull off a stunt like this would be Clockwork, and even that was questionable... and Clockwork knows full well just what he'll become.

Danny mentally sighed. There was no use in brooding now. He was effectively trapped here, and there was no point in leaving the two idiots behind. Besides, suddenly forming stairs was a pretty big hint as to which way was out, even if it was going to lead straight into a trap.

-Cyborg-

Try as he might to deny it, the fact that the ghost boy was here was freaking him out. It just didn't make any sense. He and Beast Boy where in Ravens room... they got teleported here from some freaky mirror... and this annoying hero hater was just floating their, meditating like nothing was out of the ordinary!

And he couldn't even attack him because of their mutual situation! But he promised himself that the moment they got out of here...

-Beast Boy-

Beast Boy as rather confused. Sure, this Danny Phantom guy was a jerk, but he didn't seem to be enough of one to get Cyborg so worked up. He was a great arguer, and didn't seem to be any worse then Raven, one of their best friends...

Then again, it could be that his insults at the Titan's being hero's just didn't effect Beast Boy as much, because he didn't know what it was to be a hero in the first place.

But still, to his mind, Phantom would be a great friend once he got over his... jerkiness...

The three teens walked along in not-so-companionable silence, until they reached an rock arc gate thing with three cute looking raven-things. "Turn back." "Turn back." "Turn back." Their voices where kinda mystical, echoing and strange.

Beast boy grinned. "Sweet! Betcha they can tell us how to get home."

Cyborg frowns. "Careful. How do we know they aren't a threat?"

"Helloooooo? Remember me? Beast Boy? If they were dangerous I'd know."

Both Cyborg and and Danny gave him a distrustful look. Beast Boy ignored them both and continued to walk towards the ravens. "Hey little guys. My buddy and I... and Phantom... were wondering if..." He turned to where the Ravens where. They weren't their, instead crowding around his feet, echoing in their strange voices "Turn back. Turn back. Turn back."

Suddenly they grew two extra eyes as their beaks stretched out, teeth forming.

Beast Boy, keeping his cool as usual, screamed in terror. He turned around and ran, running into Cyborg who feel over and running through the ghost as the birds chased after him, and then through an intangible Danny.

Danny raised an eyebrow as Beast Boy turned into a hippo and tried to eat the ravens... which promptly escaped by biting his tongue. Meanwhile, Cyborg was surrounded by them as they, for some reason, avoided Danny himself. They gave him a wide birth. It confused him no end, but he wasn't going to argue.

A green ostrich and Cyborg was running away from the birds as Cyborg yelled back, "Dude, help us out!"

Danny shrugged as he started shooting some of the birds, giving the two Teen Titans some space. Soon the ostrich was a lama and Cyborg was on it, shooting the birds with them. Soon Danny and the ostrich riding Cyborg were back to back, shooting the birds with a vengeance, when Cyborg accidentally shot the ground beneath them... causing them to fall. Well, to be more accurate, Cyborg and his mount started falling when Danny them to hold them up.

Danny grunted as he held up the two super-teens, slowly inching down... when they saw a Raven in pink standing as if gravity was upside down on the other side of the path.

"Hey guys." She grinned. "What's up?" She waving her hand.

Danny blinked. "Uh... not us?" Suddenly, as if gravity decided to shift, all three of the teens fell onto the path.

Raven started laughing at the hilarious sight.

All three of the teens got up and exchanged bewildered looks. Beast Boy decided to ask the question that was on all of their minds. "Why are you wearing pink?"

Raven laughed some more. "Uhhh... cause it's my favorite color?"

"...It is?" If the three were confused before, they are now bewildered.

Cyborg shook his head. "Look, I'd love to talk fashion, but I don't suppose you know how to get home?"

She grinned. "The forbidden door. It's the only way. But you don't wanna go there. Not now."

The three exchanged looks. "Uh, yeah we do?"

"K! But don't say I didn't warn you!" She started running to the the strange gate along the path, pretending to be a plane.

Cyborg looked to Beast Boy as they started walking. "Have you ever seen her this happy?"

"Dude, I didn't even know she could do happy."

Danny, meanwhile, was thinking, not even noticing when they were teleported into a Doctor Seuss esq land. What was going on with Raven? Something was off... for some reason he was convinced that the girl in pink wasn't Raven... at least not the one that was in his bookstore. He phazed through Cyborg as he stopped in curiosity at the new land.

"Hey, what's your problem?"

"Hm?" Danny turned around. "Just thinking. This place is... off. Well, to be more exact, that Raven is off."

Beast Boy blinked. "How would you know that?"

Danny didn't turn around... he was about to say that he'd met her in her bookstore when the pink Raven started giggling. "You guys are funny~" Danny shook his head, not responding to Beast Boy, grateful for the interruption; he had almost made a fatal mistake.

-Meanwhile, back at the tower-

Ravin was in her room after letting out an embarrassing laugh in front of Robin and Starefire. She quickly righted the door and looked at the mirror on her counter.

"No..."

-Back in the mirror-

Danny was annoyed. Not the normal kind of annoyed that he felt while dealing with hero's, but the kind of annoyed when facing a fangirl. The pink Raven was hoping around him, trying to get him to smile. "Come on, just let out a smile! It won't hurt~"

"No."

"But-"

"No."

"Just-"

"No."

She pouted and turned to Beast Boy. "Hey, BB! Tell him one of your hi-larious jokes! It always makes me laugh~"

Beast Boy blinks. "...really? You like my jokes?"

"Sure! But looks aren't everything thing~"

Beast Boy and Cyborg exchanged looks. When they turned back, Raven was gone.

Cyborg blinked. "Yo, Phantom! Were'd Raven go!"

He stopped and turned around. "Don't know. Not my fault if you can't keep track of your team mate." He turned back around and continued walking.

Beast Boy pouted. "Man, I can't believe Raven ditched us!"

As Beast Boy started a, in Danny's opinion, useless tired, they walked through a gate similar to what led them to happy land.

Danny blinked as he looked around. They where back where they were when they started, except farther along the path. "Hm. Interesting."

Suddenly, a Raven in a gray robe appeared, startling all three of them... though Danny didn't show it. Beast Boy, after he recovered from his shock, was clearly angry. "Where were you? Shopping for robes?" The gray Raven shrunk away, and looked terribly sad, tears beginning to well up in her eyes.

Danny put his hand on Beast Boys shoulder... how he got behind him, though, is a mystery for the ages. "...different Raven."

"Different Raven? What do you mean different-" Their squabbling was interrupted by Cyborgs shout of excitement, looking ahead.

"Hey, that's that forbidden door, right Raven?"

Raven nodded her head slightly.

Cyborg grinned. "C'mon, ya all! We're almost- uwah!" A wall appeared in front of him, interrupting his path. Quickly walls appeared all around them, Raven terrified, the two other titans startled, and Danny curious.

Without a word Beast Boy turned into a crow and tried to fly above to see the way out when he was shocked by an invisible electric wall as Danny tried to walk through a wall... into a similar shock.

"Aw man, we gotta get out of here!" Cyborg started shooting indiscriminately at the walls.

The gray Raven spoke up. "It's a maze. You can't get out. You have to go through. I can show you the way, but when we reach the end, you won't like me anymore. He already doesn't like me." Raven looked over at Beast Boy at that last statement.

Danny was annoyed. "Ch. He likes you; It's me who doesn't like you. Now are you going to show us the way out or what?"

Raven gave a short nod and started walking away. Beast Boy touched Danny's shoulders. "Hey man... thanks."

Danny simply went intangible so Beast Boy's hand went through him. "Hmph. I wasn't doing it to help you; I was doing it to clear the air. It was growing... distasteful." Danny walked away from Beast Boy and followed Raven. The two remaining Titan's exchanged looks before following.

After a couple of minutes following, Beast Boy started talking to Cyborg. "Geeze, Raven seems rather moody."

"Yeah, it's like she's a whole different person."

Danny spoke up. "She is. In a sense."

"What do you mean?" The question came from Beast Boy... which Danny ignored. Cyborg looked like he was about to blow a gasket at Danny's lack of response when Raven spoke up. She started listing apologies to Beast Boy and Cyborg, occasionally saying one to Danny.

They all said it was alright after she apologized, and that was how the time was passed. Constantly saying it's okay to apologies to events that they didn't even remember. All three of them here beginning to get irritated, though Danny didn't show it.

As they continued walking, Danny's eye started to twitch. He was in the back of the group, so they wouldn't notice his growing annoyance. He was about to shout out at this pity party when a wall opened up in a manner similar to a mechanical gate, revealing the continuing path. A happy and a sad statue stood tall, as if their to guard the path.

Raven said three words that where, miraculously, not an apology. "That's the end."

Beast Boy grinned. "Sweet!"

Cyborg responded in kind. "All right Raven!"

Danny nodded in approval at her, his twitch gone at the prospect of finally getting out of here.

Suddenly, the two statues and their eight eyes glowed as the slammed against each other, forming a four armed moving statue with two menacing looking swords.

"Told you you wouldn't like me..." Raven disappeared as the three remaining teens got into their respective battle stances.

The three teens instantly started fighting, their main goal to get out of the maze, their secondary one to beat this creature. With their respective skill sets, they easily got to the other side of the stone statue... now the problem was to not die.

They all backed up, not wanting to be the first one to move... eventually, they could see the whole maze in the distance and the statue was starting to swing it's swords at them. Beast Boy tried to attack it as a crow as Danny and Cyborg shot their beams at it.

The only thing they managed to get accomplished was a captured Beast Boy.

Suddenly, a voice yelled out that sounded suspiciously like Ravens as she flew out of the tree's... this time in a green cloak. She easily hit on of the statue's faces and landed in front of the three bewildered males. "Haha! In your faces!"

She immediately ran back into the fight, easily dodging the two swords. She leapt up and cut the statue in the middle with her fingers, leaving it harmless. Beast Boy and Cyborg where gaping, whereas Danny had only a raised eyebrow. "...impressive."

"Who-wa! High fives! Come one!" Raven grinned at them.

Beast Boy finally was annoyed to the point of bursting. "What is your deal? First you nuke breakfast, then finally laugh at my jokes, then your all weepy, and now your a marine! Make up your mind! Who are you?"

The pink Raven and the gray Raven show up as they say in unison, "I'm Raven."

Beast Boy fainted for a second.

Cyborg points at the pink one, the gray one, and the green one. "Happy, timid, brave."

Pink Raven giggled as she pointed at Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Danny. "You forgot dopy, stubborn and sexy~"

Danny raised an eyebrow at that as Cyborg continued. "Different sides of Raven's personality. We're not in Ravens home."

"We're in her head." Beast boy finishes.

"About time you two got it." Danny said with a hint of annoyance. "Seriously, read a bit of occult."

Then Raven's normal voice, cold and with a hint of anger, echoed through the place. "And I want you out."

All six teens looked up to see the normal Raven in her blue cloak leap down as the three other Raven's disappeared.

Raven started walking towards the three. "The mirror you found was for meditation. It's a portal into my MIND! NOT a TOY!" Raven was clearly upset as she shouted at Beast Boy.

Beast Boy grinned sheepishly. "Hehe... my bad."

Raven took a deep breath as she took a step back, and turned her head towards Danny. "And why are you here?"

Danny shrugged. "No idea."

"You're lying." Raven could sense it.

"Perhaps."

Raven was about to rebuttal when all the ravens on the trees took off flying for no apparent reason, cutting her short. "You have to go. Now."

Cyborg turned to Raven. "Hold up. What's going on here?"

"Last night, something... got loose. Something bad."

"Oh no you don't. I've had it with this mystery girl routine. I want to know exactly what we're talking about here." Beast Boy had had it. Again.

Suddenly a huge roar was let loose, revealing a red giant with pointed ears and iron anklets. Four orange eyes and long white hair are what defined it's head as it released a terrifying presence. "Hatred shall rule."

Danny's eyes widened. He whispered in a voice that only Raven could here, "Trigon..." He shook his head, and said in a louder voice, "That's what we're dealing with."

Both Beast Boy and Cyborg ran towards what looked like an exit as Raven and Danny dodged destructive orange beams from the giant's eyes; they landed next to each other in front of the down Cyborg and Beast Boy, and said in unison "Azarath Mentrion Zinthos!" They both summoned shields, one green and one black; they combined to black shield with green sparking off of it, blocking Trigon's follow up attack without any damage.

Danny and Ravin looked at each other, curious expressions on their faces at their similar battle cry.

Trigon continued to attack the shield as Raven turned to face the three male teens. "Get out of my mind. Now!" Her voice was slightly strained.

"And leave you alone with that?" Beast Boy pointed at the red giant.

Cyborg turned to Raven. "Not gonna happen."

Danny just grunted as he continued his efforts with the shield, not responding... but it was clear that his reaction was similar to Beast Boy's, even without the words.

Raven frowned as she continued to pour energy into the shield. "It's my problem. I'll deal with it. If I lose here you'll be stuck in here forever!"

Trigon started attacking the shield with balls of energy, and soon the shield fell apart. "Go!" Raven yelled as she used her powers to push back the three teens towards the portal. They stood in shock as they watched Raven fly towards the giant, hitting it with black beams... the effect was akin to a fly attacking a human.

Danny's mind was going at a hundred miles an hour.

What do I do, what do I do? I know what's it like, but this is her mind! I shouldn't interfere! Let her deal with Trigon! I should get out of here! She's a hero, and I'm out for myself! I should leave! LEAVE!

Despite Danny's internal shouting, he found he wouldn't move.

Come on! It's her mind! What can you do here? She's got the power!

As Danny was trying to get himself to leave, he heard a voice he though he had long since buried... the voice of a hero.

Can you really just leave her?

Yes! She's a hero!

So are you!

No, I'm not! I killed everybody who I love!

Then now is the time to make up for it!

No! I can't help!

Can't or won't?

It doesn't matter!

Yes it does! MOVE!

"Shit!" Danny swore as Raven was caught by the red giant. He turned around and used his beams to push out Beast Boy and Cyborg, so stunned that they couldn't even respond as he flew up towards the giant.

"Yo ugly! Get out of here!" Flying at higher then his top speed, with ecto-powered fists, he punched Trigon. Hard. He stumbled off of the edge as Raven slipped from his hand; Danny quickly flew down to catch her and put her on the ground.

She slowly opened her eyes. "You... stayed? The others...?"

Danny snorted, as if in amusement. "You really think they would leave their friend? I had to push them out."

"Their... friend...?"

Danny shook his head as he dropped Raven's, standing up. "You really are blind. Now do you have a plan for Trigon? I don't care how he's in your mind, but we've gotta stop him."

As if his name summoned him, Trigon's head started to rise back up, showing the two super teens four glowing, hate-filled eyes. He stood up. "Rage shall consume you!"

Raven got up herself. "Nope."

Danny grinned as he cracked his knuckles. "So just keep hitting him?"

"Yep."

"I can live with that."

Trigon yelled as he let his eye beams loose, "Feel my rage!"

Danny and Raven flew up, as if in sink, letting loose their green and black beams towards the red giant. They dodged his hands and his eye beams, continuing to fire at top speed. It was as if they had practiced for years.

After about five minutes of this they managed to hide behind a rock after one of his eye beams.

Raven started speaking as she lowered her hood. "He's too strong. Even with your help I can't beat him."

Danny looked over the edge at Trigon. "What about your other sides? I've only seen three of them, but there's got to be more."

"It's no use. None of them have the power we need."

"Alone? Or together?" Danny internally cursed himself at that. He hated teams... one of them always betrayed the rest.

One of Trigon's beams nearly hit them. "Gah! You do it! I'll stall Trigon!" He flew out of the alcove towards the red giant, a small smile forming on Raven's face.

Raven stood in a kind of field as she started meditating. Seven Ravens in various colored cloaks appeared in front of her. After forming a circle around the original, they all started floating. Soon they where spinning around her at top speed.

Meanwhile, Danny was having his hands full with Trigon. He was getting singed by his eye beams as he punched and shot at the red giant, his eyes starting to have a hint of red themselves. "Come on, Raven... hurry up..."

Danny suddenly grinned as a giant Raven in a white cloak appeared behind Trigon, his red eyes quickly fading.

Raven let loose black beams, holding Trigon's arms behind his back. "You're going back where you belong!"

"Never!" Trigon broke loose, clearly ready to fight back... but Raven was first, letting loose yet more black beams. Trigon let loose his own beams, his red ones meeting her black ones. The beams met in mid-air, pushing back and forth. Raven let loose one final push of black energy, hitting Trigon with an explosion of energy. Trigon quickly became one last Raven, with four red eyes and a red cloak. She glared at the giant white Raven, rage clear in her face... before she too was absorbed into the white Raven.

There was a flash, and all that was left was the normal blue cloaked Raven. She feel back in exhaustion as Danny caught her. "There we go. Easy."

Raven slowly got onto her own feet. "Thank you-" Before she could finish Danny was holding her against a rock in a grapple.

"If you tell ANYBODY what I did here, I swear, Trigon is the least you have to worry about it."

Raven blinked, shocked at the sudden change in attitude of her comrade. "But you saved-"

"No! No I did not! I left with the other two!" Danny seemed almost desperate, and Raven could feel the raw desperation in his voice.

"Why are you-"

"Doesn't matter! I NEVER HELPED!"

"But-"

"No! I wasn't here! And if you DARE tell anybody otherwise, I'll sneak into this tower, steal your mirror, and let loose whatever demons I can find in here! Understand?"

Raven frowned. He seemed absolutely desperate to keep this information under wraps... and that threat was a serious one. She let loose a curt nod. "...fine."

Danny stumbled backwards, practically shaking in relief. "...good..." He sighed in relief.

Raven tilted her head in curiosity. She wasn't really afraid, because the ghost never really let loose any real anger... just desperation... fear... terror... she almost... felt sad for him...

Danny hopped up, his emotional mask back on. "This was a one time thing. Don't expect this to ever happen again." He quickly turned invisibly and flew out of the portal, back to his home, shaking all the way there.

After the initial panic that Beast Boy and Cyborg had formed after being shot out of the mirror, Robin had isolated Beast Boy. "Do you... dislike me...?" She was unusually timid, and she didn't like that... but she had to find out.

"What? No! Dude, I thought it was you who disliked me!"

Ravin let out a slight smile, undetectable under her hood. "Then we where both mistaken."

Danny was shaking in his bed, tears streaming down his face. "No... never again... I'm no hero... I'll betray them, just like I betrayed my family and friends..." It was with those words that Danny sobbed himself to sleep. Somehow, he knew he wouldn't be open tomorrow.

Raven was meditating in her room, thinking. What was with the enigmatic Phantom? He helped her... yet he was terrified to receive the credit. He saved her... yet he hated hero's. He was a ghost... yet... he was warm to the touch...

Cyborg was confused. Phantom pushed him and BB out of Raven's mind and turned to fight... yet Raven denied it. But he knows he wasn't wrong. He had it recorded, and he watched it again and again. Just what happened after he was kicked out?

Clockwork looked at the teens, his screen reprogrammed to show the present, and sighed. Things did not go how he planned... the baby turned around and floated away, seeming to pace the tower, thinking. If he was to save humanity, he first had to save Danny Phantom.
