Teen Titans- The Wizard of Oz

Chapter 4

The Merry Old Land of Oz

Part 2

"Look Raven, before you lose your temper try and look at this from Rob's point of view, would ya' I mean we can't be where he thinks we are, right?" pronounced Cyborg trying to play peacemaker between the two birds.

Raven did her best to cool down she guessed she couldn't blame her leader too much after all this was all pretty hard to believe even she had to admit it was cause for wonder…

. "Fine" said the mage after taking a deep breath. "Robin" she addressed "I know it's hard to believe but yes, I believe we are in Munchkin Land in Oz."

"Raven Th-the Wizard of Oz is a fairy tale. It's obvious that this is some sort of trick." Robin argued. "I mean how did we even get here?"

Beast Boy snickered. "I think the answer to that would be pretty obvious. The tornado carried us here Robin just like in the movie."

Raven allowed a small smile to escape before answering. "Beast Boy's partially right. Though I have another explanation," the mage began. "Earlier today I bought these" and she held up the silver slippers.

"Ugh, Raven what do those ugly shoes you bought earlier have to with our current situation?" Beast Boy questioned confused.

"These are Dorothy Gale's shoes you idiot. The ones that brought her home from Oz."

"Dude, Rae I think your confused Dorothy's shoes were totally ruby not grey or whatever."

Raven held her temper. "Beast Boy in the movie they were ruby. In the book they were silver." She informed him irritably.

"I hate to interrupt here but Rae, B.B. does sort have a point. What makes you so sure those are Dorothy's shoes?" Cyborg queried.

"Do either of you two block heads ever pay attention? You were there. The shop was for genuine magical artifacts, I mean I wasn't sure I believed it then, but how can I argue now?" Raven gesticulated toward the windows again where the colorful Land of Oz was staring her team in their faces.

Cyborg thought back. "I guess your right, Rae…wait a minute now that I think about it that woman at the shop did seem sort of familiar to me…Rae, I know who she was." Said Cy sounding sure of himself.

"Who was she then Cyborg?" raised Robin.

"Mother Mae Eye"

"That's impossible I am an empath. I would of-" Raven stopped remembering the time at the tower when she'd entranced them all. She could have easily pulled the wool over the sorceress's eyes. "How could I have been so stupid?" Raven muttered to herself.

"Raven, don't scold yourself." Began Robin. "I was wrong to be so concerned with how we got here anyway. The important thing is how to get home. Can you try putting on the shoes and clicking your heals together for us?"

Raven let out a deep sigh and nodded. The sorceress then put the silver shoes on her feet, and did as instructed. She clicked her heals together three times. "There's no place like home" she said with each click.

"Nothing happened." Said Beast Boy after a few minutes when nothing happened.

The empath rolled her eyes and tried her best to keep her many different emotions in check and not let the others see the effect those three words had had on her. The memory had hit the girl all at once. The image of her younger self clinging to Arella's neck as the Monks tore her from her Mother. She felt just as she had every other time she'd read those words before, the wave of emotion was familiar but for some reason the undertow was worse than ever before.

"Raven, Are you okay?" asked Beast Boy calling her back from her thoughts.

The empath forced a half smile and nodded. "I am fine Beast Boy." She told him. Then she turned her violet eyes to their leader. "Well, now what do you suggest we do Robin?"

The scarecrow mused for a few moments before answering the mage. "Well, you seem to be the expert here Raven. So, I suggest that you decide for us."

"Fine" said Raven. "First things, first Beast Boy go get Starfire and meet the rest of us outside. After all Dorothy never got anywhere until she walked out her front door."

The others all nodded and Robin, Cyborg and Raven exited the tower. Once outside they couldn't believe their eyes. The color was so vibrant it was almost blinding. Even Raven was having a hard time masking her wonder. She'd always wanted to escape Azarath as a child and come to place as warm and colorful as Oz, especially after being raised in a place as cold and dark as Azarath had been for her.

She remembered her Mother coming to visit her on the weekends after that day they'd tore her from her and her Mother reading the book to her before she herself could read it. She remembered Arella trying to reassure her that Azarath would be an adventure for her just as Oz was for Dorothy. It would be scary at first but everything would turn out okay in the end. Then she remembered how Azarath had been nothing like Oz, she had never made friends who accepted her like Dorothy had in fact there weren't even any other kids for her to play with.

All there was for her in Azerath were her studies, her training with the Monks and her books. They became her friends and when Arella was no longer allowed to visit her all Raven had left were the few things she'd given her only daughter. The worn green book in Raven's hand being one of these possessions the adolescent clung to the physical evidence that she'd ever had a Mother now like she had as child and almost forgot about the others until Starfire brought her back to the present with a gasp.

"HuAh! Look friends who is that?" the green eyed alien turned munchkin pointed in the direction of a woman floating their way in clear bluish pink sort of bubble.

The Titans stared in awe but none more so than Raven at who she saw….

Author's Note: I hope you all liked this. I don't know much about Raven's time in Azarath and sometimes I like to take a little creative license (usually I like to say Arella died in child birth but I thought I'd use something different this time) so this may not be the exact history or anything just something I cooked up. Hope you all like it. Please, please, please Review
