Sorry for the cliffhangers, my lovely readers. Sometimes I have trouble ending chapters without them. At least it keeps you reading, right? ^_^

Beast Boy had never witnessed something so awful. He could feel his heart breaking as he saw every single one of his friends on the ground, some groaning, some motionless. Pitch-black flames were still burning in places; it seemed as if the red Raven had created her own bomb.

Cyborg, gone. Raven, seemingly gone. Robin and Starfire's outfits had been burned almost clean off, and they lay on the ground, either unconscious or too much in pain to move. The crowd of Ravens had fallen too, though it seemed they hadn't sustained as much damage.

In the distance, Beast Boy could see the taller buildings of the city beginning to bend towards the giant black hole in the sky, the force beginning to suck them right out of the ground. Forgetting where he was, Beast Boy squeaked in horror.

In an instant, he was seized in a large, human hand and was face-to-face with the four-eyed, scarlet-cloaked Raven. She saw the shard in his hands and hissed furiously, beginning to squeeze him within her fist. Thinking quickly, Beast Boy transformed into a kangaroo and sent two large feet right into the offending Raven's gut, causing her to skid backwards and eventually fall onto her back.

The mirror. Fix the mirror. He had no time to lose. Beast Boy spun around and in two large leaps made it to the real Raven's side. He de-transformed.

"Quick! Here it is; the last piece! Fix it! Fix it!" he shrieked, high-pitched, as he handed the shard to the yellow Raven. They might already be too late.

The intelligent side of Raven snatched the shard and shoved it right into its L-shaped little hole. As soon as she did, there was another shockwave – a larger, more powerful one than before. It blasted outwards in a huge circle, knocking the yellow Raven and Beast Boy over. The changeling quickly looked up to see what was happening.

The invisible shockwave hurtled straight into the red Raven as she was pulling herself to her feet, and carried her right out over the edge of the roof. As he watched, the red Raven was forced through the air and crashed right into the giant, black spiral of doom.

As soon as she was engulfed by the darkness, the spiral began spinning the other way. As it did, objects began to fly back out of it, tumbling back down into the water below; a waterfall of paraphernalia. The encroaching tendrils of darkness that had been swarming the city began retreating back towards the Tower and the black hole, as if they were now the ones being sucked away. Beast Boy turned away from the terrifying sight to look back at his friends.

Robin was grinning at him, holding a feeble thumbs-up. The yellow Raven, kneeling now, smiled too. The purple Raven had regained consciousness too, and her eyes were glowing with happiness. Despite himself, Beast Boy went straight for her and kneeled down beside her, wincing as his arm blazed in pain. "I did it," he grinned. "I got the last piece."

She returned his smile. "You did...and I'm so glad for it. Thank you, Beast Boy."

"Here, I'll help you stand up," said the changeling, his spirit lifting now that he knew things were changing back.

"No, Beast Boy. Leave me. I won't need to get up now."

"W-what? What do you mean?" Beast Boy panicked.

"You have to remember, Beast Boy – I'm not the real Raven. I'm just one small part of her."

"But...but...you're so nice to me...and she isn't. It's like you're two different people," argued Beast Boy.

"I'm still there, inside her...even if you can't see or feel me. Raven prefers to keep me hidden away, because she's afraid of me – just like she does with her grumpy side." To Beast Boy's utmost surprise, the purple Raven giggled. "Come on, Beast Boy. You can't like one part of someone and dislike the others. You have to accept the whole package."

"But, I do!" Beast Boy blurted. "I think you – I mean, you know, Raven – she's great. She's a good fighter, a good listener, she's smart and quick and she's even funny sometimes."

This seemed to shock her. "You...do?"

"Of course I do! I always have! We all do, I guess...but I mean – she always treats me like an idiot, but I still wanna be her friend..." There he was again, speaking nonsense. No wonder Raven thought he was an idiot.

Raven smiled warmly back at him. "Thank you," she repeated, then closed her eyes. Before he could say anymore, she too seemed to be blown away by an invisible force. He grabbed at her, but missed, and watched sadly as she flew through the air and right into the growing spiral. He felt Robin's hand rest on his shoulder, which seemed to help a little.

The two boys watched as each Raven – even the yellow one – was pulled away from the roof by the black hole. The many colours of Raven disappeared into the darkness within seconds, and soon only the original Teen Titans were left on the Tower's rooftop.

As soon as the last piece of Raven was sucked into it, the spiral itself began shrinking twice as fast as it had grown. The dark tendrils snaked their way back up the Tower's walls and flew back up into the black hole. One tendril burst right out of the sky itself, making the sky turn to a warm, dark blue, and followed the others into the spiralling darkness.

Before the black hole got too small to see, a ray of pure, dark energy flew from it and crashed into the once-shattered handheld mirror that was lying on the ground next to Raven's floating body. Robin and Beast Boy rushed to grab it, thinking it was going to be destroyed once more, but the mirror flew up into the air and – to their surprise – began sucking up the black hole itself.

It was all over in less than a minute. The spiral of darkness disappeared right into mirror; the city became free of Nevermore, and the sky was now lit by the rising sun. Beast Boy caught the mirror as it fell back to the ground, now holding Nevermore within its ominous, glass face. He was about to say something when the mirror began shaking in his hand. The changeling held it steady, refusing to let the night's episode repeat itself, and as he did, a man literally popped right out of the glass.

It was Mirror Master, or at least, what was left of him. His strange jumpsuit had been torn further and his hair seemed to have been pulled out by the roots. He lay on the concrete, shaking uncontrollably. "I'm free," he moaned. "I'm free. Sunlight, air...I'm fr-" Robin thwacked his open hand into the back of Mirror Master's head, causing the older man to fall unconscious.

"Robin! Robin, look!" Beast Boy called. Robin rushed to the changeling's side just in time to see Raven – their own, real Raven – open her eyes at last.
