Protected by the mounds of earth, in a darken cavern, a figure walked sluggishly down a hall. He knew he should hurry as the other was waiting yet he couldn't bring himself to walk any faster. This was to be expected after all, this was his talent. Oh well, He thought as he approached the closed door to the chamber. He opened it with a light push and stepped into the room. There they were, gathered around a round table. They looked at him in annoyance.

"You're late" One of the figures said, his eyes filled with anger.

"Yeah sorry about tha-"

"Silence!" another figure interrupted. "We wasted enough time as it is; we have no time for your feeble excuses, Sit. Now."

He took a seat without hesitation.

"Now than how are things proceeding?" the interrupting figure asked.

"Excellent, the awakening should happen any day now, all we need is our little lamb".

"Yes I am aware of this, don't worry she should be arriving soon, but the real problem is her little posse."

One of the figures chuckled. "We will take care of them." The interrupting figure nodded before he flinched. For a moment. He was quiet as an eerie smile spread across his face. The other figures looked at him, puzzled.

"What is it?"

"They have arrived."

"HUGH!"

Terra let out a grunt as she moved another large boulder from her path. The underground cavern was deep and she needed to be careful with her approach or else they would all fall into it. The other waited patiently, each occupied with their thoughts. Batgirl and Robin were casually propped against a tree laughing at their adventures in Gotham while Cyborg was retuning his arm to prepare for the underground conditions. Starfire was standing away from the group, staring off into space. Raven was also staring but not into space. She kept stealing glances at her green teammate who kept checking his transmitter for the map. Time has been good to him she thought. His skinny body was replaced with an athletic tone one. He easily towered over Raven now. She chuckled at the memory of her constantly looking down to speak to him. But that wasn't the only change. He was colder and more serious. Raven couldn't wrap her head around all these changes. Especially the biggest one, she thought as she took a glance at Terra. With all these changes he should be renamed the Changeling. Raven laugh at her joke. Still, she couldn't help but have this gut wrenching feeling that she was the cause of all these changes, and she hated that thought.

"All right, Team gather around" Beast Boy voice broke Raven train of thought. The others quickly stopped what they were doing and gather around their leader.

"I been thinking about a game plan for a while now and well…I think we should spilt up"

"But Friend Why?" Starfire protested already hating the idea of separating. They just got together; surely Beast Boy didn't want to split them up again.

"Sorry Star but there is tons of tunnels down there. It will take us hours to find the right one if we all go together. We'll have a better chance in finding all our enemies if we separate. It's for the best" Beast Boy responded as Starfire lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"So how are we splitting up?" Cyborg asked.

"Well…" Beast Boy started as he pulled up a hologram of the cavern. "The east side has the most levitated and rigged areas. So I was thinking, the most acrobatic and the best flyer in the group should go through here. That means you and Robin, Starfire." Starfire let out a gasp while Robin face showed a sign of discomfort. They both didn't like the idea even if it did make sense.

"So you and Terra take the center tunnel?" Raven asked trying to understand the plan.

Beast Boy shooked his head.

"Actually Terra will be staying outside. We need someone guarding us just in case anybody tries to bury us down there. She has a better sense of the environment up here. You and I will explore the center tunnel."

"What!? Why!?" This was the last thing Raven wanted. She knew she wouldn't be able to control her emotions when it was just the two of them.

Beast Boy let out a sigh as he ran his finger through his hair. "Look, the main tunnel leads straight to the largest area in the cavern. It's highly plausible that's where they are planning to summon trigon. You're the only one who can stop him."

Raven clenched her teeth. "Ok but why do I need you with me?"

Beast Boy was silent for a moment "We don't know what's down there. You don't know if it will be filled with water or covered with rocks. Lucky for you I can withstand any of those conditions. Trust me you're the last person I want to be stuck with. But it has to be done. Deal with it"

Raven flinched at his harsh words. She wasn't expecting that response. It left her speechless and hurt.

Beast Boy ignored her response as he turned his attention to Cyborg and Batgirl.

"That leaves you two to handle the west side."

Cyborg nodded in acceptance. "Sounds like a plan. It will help us become better acquainted." Batgirl said flashing Cyborg a smile.

"I'm finished!" Terra walked towards the group covered in dirt.

Beast Boy walked to the hole that Terra created.

"It was deep but I reached it."

Beast Boy smiled at her. "I knew you would."

Raven felt another pang in her heart. She clenched her chest and sighed. I can't do this she thought.

Her team was oblivious to her feelings, as Beast Boy spoke again.

"If you find anything or if you are in danger, use your transmitters. We don't know what's down there but whatever it is we must stop it. If we fail, the world will end." Beast Boy let those words sink in before he continued. "I wish everybody luck. Titians GO!" With that everybody separated.

The battle was on!
