A/N (09.06.14): This chapter has been edited and altered as of today.

Ok this was such a fun chapter to do since it had SO much Raven in it and I added Robin into the mix of Nevermore. So here it is finally, I really hope you all like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans or any of Raven's awesome emotions.

Chapter 10: Nevermore

Dr. Light stood in front of the Titans, hands glowing yellow. It was the middle of the night, and no one wanted him to be out here ranting.

"Your pathetic skills cannot outshine the brilliance of Dr. Light!" he declared as he shot out electric power at them. Everyone jumped out of the way and Robin quickly threw a bird-a-rang at him, only for the villain to jump off the truck he had been on and go to where Robin had been standing.

"Quick," he told the Boy Wonder. "But I doubt you can move at the speed of light." Dr. Light threw a shine of bright light out at Robin and it blasted him back. Raven watched as he hit a building behind her and turned ahead to glare at Dr. Light, but Beast Boy jumped in as a mountain goat before she could hone in on him, ramming him back. Dr. Light merely threw some exploding bombs at him and the bright light that came with them stunned Beast Boy. Starfire quickly flew up from behind her green friend and shot out her own bolts at Dr. Light. He put up a shield of energy and then dropped it as he put a bubble shield around her, encasing the alien girl.

"Watch yourself lightweight, things are about to get heavy!" Cyborg called as he pounded a street sign at Dr. Light. He flew on his back on the ground but shot out something at Cy, who found himself stuck in a giant boulder of cement now. The villain got up and brushed himself off.

"Now if nobody minds, I'll be taking the gold now," Dr. Light stated.

"I mind," Raven said from behind him with a glare in her eyes still. "Azarath Metrion Zin – AHHH!" Raven got blasted back as Robin had, falling to the ground hard. Dr. Light approached her.

"A bit of advice: find shorter magic words," he told her with a smirk as he charged his attack once again. Her eyes turned white quickly as she got control of a motorcycle beside her and threw it at him with a fling of her arm. He blew it up before it could even touch him, hitting her once again further down the street, leaving her struggling on her knees now, her back turned to him. He laughed as he continued to pursue her.

"Don't come any closer," she said coldly in warning.

"What's the matter? Afraid of the light?" he taunted. Raven finally couldn't take it. She turned around and flew up in the air, growing a few feet in size, her eyes glowing red, and cape flowing around her as black tentacles flew up in every direction. They shot out at him and he screamed, his suit being broken in her attack. The Titans watched this in shock, struggling to break free to help their friend to stop. Robin finally ran back in after being tossed away, eyes widening.

"Mercy!" Dr. Light cried out as he was dragged under her cloak and out of sight. Raven was grinning like a mad man as her eyes gleamed red.

"What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?" she asked innocently in a demonic voice.

"RAVEN! STOP!" Robin called out as he ran towards her. Her eyes blinked open and returned to purple at the sound of his voice, a gasp escaping her lips. She shrunk back down to normal size and collapsed, Robin catching her in his arms before she could hit the ground. The other Titans surrounded him and their unconscious teammate, along with the trembling and pale Dr. Light who was talking whispering to himself. While Starfire and Beast Boy helped Dr. Light up and comforted him somewhat all the way to the police car, Robin set Raven on the ground and Cyborg stood above them. Finally, Raven opened her eyes and looked at them.

"Raven, what did you do?" Robin asked her worriedly. Her eyes grew cold, an underlying red glow to them as she slightly hissed from the base of her throat. Robin and Cyborg's eyes widened as they moved from her.

"I…" Raven began to whisper, her eyes returning to normal as she slowly got up. A frown appeared on her face and she materialized into the ground before Robin and Cyborg, the two boys sharing a glance, worried for their friend.

"Rise and shine my amigos," Beast Boy told them all as he approached the table with food he had just cooked. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg had shown up the next day for breakfast, but Raven was nowhere to be seen since last night.

Cyborg spit out the food he'd just eaten from Beast Boy when he realized what it was.

"Nasty, that's your tofu stuff, not eggs!" he cried.

"Calm down you two, there's no need to be mad," Robin told the bickering duo as he got up to the counter top to find some real milk. Just then, Raven came into the Main Room. Robin smiled.

"Hey, Raven. Want some breakfast?" he asked her as he got his milk out and put some bread in the toaster. She merely put some warm water in a mug and dropped a tea bag in, stirring it.

"Herbal tea," she simply responded to the Boy Wonder without even looking in his direction.

"You sure, Raven? You could use something after –" Robin started again before Raven whipped her head around.

"NO," she told him, raising her voice at him, eyes glowing red once more as she shook a bit. Robin backed up. Just then the toaster was surrounded with her aura and burnt toast flew out. Raven left her tea behind and walked quickly out the door and to her room. Robin stared after her, shocked.

"Maybe you should give her the apologize," Starfire told him. Robin sighed.

"She's been ignoring me since last night, I'm the last person she most likely wants to see," Robin said.

"Well you should know better then to persist with her like that after last night," Cyborg piped in. Starfire nodded.

"Raven is… complicated. There is much about her that we are not meant to understand, and last night is… one of those certain instances. Do not blame yourself friend Robin for what took place, but do not pretend all is fine," she said.

"I guess I should talk to her at least, she seems pretty upset," he said with a sigh. "I should be back soon."

Robin stood outside Raven's door, unsure if he wanted to knock, fearful of ending up like the toaster. He knocked lightly, waited a few seconds, and then turned when there wasn't a response. Maybe it was better this way. Just then though he ran into Cyborg's chest.

"Come on Boy Wonder, scared of Raven now are we?" he mocked his leader. Robin fumed for a moment before he shook his head no. He wasn't afraid of her, he was afraid of what she would DO.

"Come on," his robotic friend told him as he pushed both of them to the door. He pushed the code in and the door opened with ease. Robin's eyes widened as he simply did this without permission, and both cringed when they saw Raven on her bed lying down, sound asleep they realized when they approached her. Robin looked down at her peaceful sleeping form and lightly touched her cheek, marveling at her skin. Cyborg noticed this and walked behind him.

"Um, Robin, do ya want her to kill ya, cause she won't enjoy waking up to that, and it's not good that we're already in her room," Cyborg told him worriedly.

"Come on, Cy, she's out like a light. And besides, you guys wanted this," Robin argued as he looked around as well now, walking away from her. He spotted a mirror on her dresser and looked into it. Strange, he didn't believe Raven would have one of these.

Suddenly, four red eyes appeared on it and Robin gasped, dropping the mirror on the ground. Cyborg turned to see Robin being grabbed by a giant black and red claw. He grabbed Robin's leg, and both of them were dragged into the mirror without a trace, screaming. Raven stirred on her bed and turned the other way, frowning in her sleep.

Robin and Cyborg landed in the middle of nowhere, finding themselves on a floating rock in what looked like space. Both of their eyes turned to the size of saucers.

"Where are we?" Robin asked his friend as he took in the vast space. Cyborg stared at his arm.

"You're asking the wrong robot, cause my sensors are saying we're still in the Tower," Cyborg responded. Robin looked dubiously at Cyborg.

"What? So how do we get back?" he questioned as he began pacing around.

"I guess we start walking," Cyborg told Robin.

"Seriously, we're on a rock in the middle of…" Just before Robin could finish, other rocks from around them moved together and formed a path. Robin blinked.

"Whoa," they both stated before beginning to walk down the path provided.

"I wonder why Raven did this to us, you think she booby trapped the mirror?" Cyborg asked Robin. He shook his head.

"I honestly have no idea what is up with her mirror, but I do know that she didn't do anything to it. She wouldn't have known we'd have gone into her room," Robin contemplated aloud.

"Maybe this is Raven's way home," Cyborg said. "Maybe this is where she's from."

"Turn back…" they suddenly heard a musical voice almost chirp. They spun around a couple of times before looking up and seeing an arch with small, black raven birds on it with sparkling red eyes. Both of the boys exhaled.

"Oh, they're kind of cute," Cyborg said. Robin looked at them closely and then approached them carefully. But as soon as he approached, they were on the ground, telling them to turn back again. Suddenly, their two eyes multiplied to four and they had razor sharp teeth, continuing to growl at Robin and Cyborg. Both of them screamed as they ran back the way they came, the birds chasing them. They surrounded Cyborg and Robin in a black clump as they swatted at them and continued to run away.

Finally Cyborg started blasting at the birds as Robin hit them back off of them as well. Soon enough though, Cyborg blasted the ground by accident and it began cracking. Robin glared at Cyborg and he grinned sheepishly. As the ground fell beneath them Cyborg caught onto the edge and Robin's hand, trying with no success not to let go. He shut his eyes and opened his eyes when he heard a voice.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Raven asked them, standing upside down, smiling as she waved at them. Robin and Cyborg's eyes widened.

"I don't know anymore," Cyborg told her as he let go and they fell onto solid ground, what had been upright a second ago seemingly reversing. Raven giggled as the two got back up, Robin looking at her.

"Raven? How did you… where are… what just…" he tried to say all at once as he finally took in the color of her cloak. "Why are you wearing pink?"

Raven giggled once more. "Cause… it's my favorite color?"

"It is?" Robin asked in surprise.

"I'd love to talk fashion with you guys, but do you happen to know how to get out of here?" he Cyborg cut in, looking at Raven. She nodded.

"Through the forbidden door," she told them matter-of-factly as she pointed to the same brown arch they had seen earlier. "But you don't wanna go through there."

Robin and Cyborg exchanged a glance. "Uh, yeah we do." Raven giggled again.

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you!" she said with glee as she giggled for the millionth time and started running down the path like an airplane, arms spread wide, making sounds and all. Robin watched after her amazed as he and Cyborg followed.

"Have you ever seen Raven this happy?" Robin asked Cyborg.

"I didn't even know that she could do happy," was his response.

As soon as they passed the arch, the scenery changed and they were standing in a meadow place with pink trees and yellow skies.

"Now where are we?" Cyborg questioned aloud as a strawberry floated by Robin and him. He looked after it as it floated away.

"I think this might be where air fresheners come from," Robin said.

Suddenly Raven appeared beside him once again, laughing. "Good one!"

"You're… laughing?" Cyborg questioned.

"And talking to me again?" Robin chimed in.

"Sure, I always pay attention to you, Rob! I love talking to you! And you two are just hilarious!" she remarked as she went into another fit of giggles. Robin and Cyborg looked to each other again in question before following the very happy Raven.

"Raven?" Starfire asked as she peered into her friend's room, the door wide open. She quickly ushered Beast Boy over and he too was surprised when they saw that Raven's door was opened to the whole Tower.

"Raven?" he called out as he poked her hesitantly. She quickly jolted up in bed at the sudden contact, surprised to see Beast Boy and Starfire in her bedroom.

"What are you two doing in her!?" she snapped at them. Starfire and Beast Boy backed up from the infuriated girl.

"Your door was open so we were merely seeing if you were alright," Starfire explained. Raven looked at them oddly, calming, before unexpectedly bursting out in laughter. She clamped a hand over her mouth, eyes widening.

"Both of you out, I need to be alone," she told them as she got up and pushed them out the door to her room as a stream of questions came from their mouths. She closed it on them and turned, looking around her room eyes, the one thing that she saw out of place was her mirror on the ground.

"No." she said, barely audible.

"She ditched us!" Cyborg cried out as he stared around the meadow he and Robin continued to walk down. Robin exhaled. Suddenly they walked under another archway and were back to the space world with floating rocks around the path they were on.

"Hey! We're in that place where I didn't know where we were before!" Cyborg exclaimed. Just then Raven appeared in front of them once more, only now she was in a gray colored cloak, frowning. Robin and Cyborg shrieked in surprise.

"Where were you!?" Robin yelled at her harshly, "we needed you back there!" Raven's face fell, eyes downcast as her bottom lip quivered, holding back tears that were already beginning to form. Robin blinked in surprise, feeling ashamed suddenly for his tone with her.

"Hey, I didn't mean. Please don't be sad," he told her apologetically, putting a hand on her shoulder. She sniffled, looking away and to Cyborg when he spoke up.

"Hey!" he exclaimed, pointing down the path. "That's that forbidden door, right Raven?" She nodded her head. "Come on ya'll let's get out here!"

Cyborg started to run down the path, but when he reached a certain point a wall came out from in front of him, followed by others all around them. Raven looked around frantically, lightly grabbing Robin's shirt and pulling herself closer into him as she whimpered, the Boy Wonder grabbing out his bo-staff in one hand as he kept a hand on her lower back instinctly.

Cyborg growled and began to blast the walls immediately, but they didn't even have a mark on them after. Raven finally let go of Robin and walked up to him.

"It's a maze. You can't get out that way, you have to go through," she explained. "I can show you the way, but when we reach the end, you won't like me anymore. He already doesn't," she said glumly, looking at Robin with a sad look in her eyes.

"What? Raven…" Robin started, but she just began walking away. Robin stared after her figure, confused. "Moody much today?" he said sarcastically. Why would she think that?

"Yeah, she's like a whole different person," Cyborg sided with him as they began their journey through the maze.

"And, remember that time when I called you guys obsessive annoying jerks with no lives at all? Well, I'm sorry about that, too," she said as they continued to walk through the maze. She had been apologizing the whole time and Robin and Cyborg sighed, exhausted.

"For the millionth time, we forgive you," Cyborg reassured her. Robin then sped up his walk and reached her, grabbing her wrist lightly and turning her around.

"I'm really sorry Raven if you suddenly think a certain way of me, please don't be sa,." he begged her as he moved his hand hesitantly to hold her, giving it a small squeeze. He watched as Raven looked down at their hands, slowly meeting his gaze once more and giving him a small nod. With that, she vanished right in front of them. Robin frowned, whispering, "where did she…?"

Just then the wall in front of them opened and revealed the way out.

"Sweet, she did it!" Cyborg cheered as he and Robin began on again, seeing the end in sight. Before they could go any further, two statues at the side of the maze's doors combined into one and two swords appeared in its hands. Robin went pale, as did Cyborg.

"Great," Robin mumbled.

The stone monster pursued them as they backed up. It was three times the size of Cyborg in height and he couldn't blast it down, nor could Robin smash him with his bo-staff or other gadgetry. It suddenly grabbed the Boy Wonder and he squirmed to get out to no avail.

Just then, Raven shot out from the sky in a dark green cloak now and kicked the statue back with a mighty cry. Robin was let go and Cyborg balanced him before he could trip up. They watched as the statue slashed at Raven with its swords, the dark girl evading with ease as she zigzagged in and out of the way, bending gracefully. Finally, she went on the offense instead and flew up in the air. She slid her fingers down the middle of the statue and it fell down in two halves, destroyed. Robin and Cyborg stood stunned.

"Oh yeah! High fives!" Raven declared as she tossed her hood down carelessly and threw her hands out in the air in front of her towards the two boys. Robin finally found his voice and shook his head clear.

"Okay, seriously, what is going on here?" he asked, frustrated beyond belief now. "First you get mad at me for asking you if you want breakfast, then you're happy and nice to me, then you're all sad and weepy, and now you're a marine? Who are you!?" Robin finally finished.

Raven looked at him roughly with a glare in her eyes and hands at her hips. Just then a Raven with a pink cloak and one with a gray cloak from before appeared out of nowhere beside the green one and all in unison declared –

"I'm Raven!"

Robin felt sick to his stomach and practically fainted, Cyborg steadying him once more. Cyborg looked closely at them all.

"Happy, Timid, Brave," he suddenly thought aloud.

Happy Raven approached Robin who was still taking what had just happened in. She pointed at him with a smirk.

"You forgot Dopey," she giggled.

"Different sides of Raven's personality. We're not in Raven's home, we're in her mind," Cyborg finally concluded.

"We're in her head," Robin finally breathed.

"And I want you out," a familiar monotone voice stated from the sky. The real Raven suddenly came down in the middle between her emotions, kneeling on one knee before rising up and sauntering over to them as her three other selves disappeared. "The mirror you found is for meditation. It is a portal into my MIND!" Raven told them, trying to hold back her anger, now in Robin's face, teeth gritted as he cringed. "NOT. A. TOY!"

"Raven," he finally said with a relieved sigh when she was done fuming and came up to her, grabbing her hands and holding them tightly, giving them a squeeze. He had never seen her this mad before but was really glad to see her. He could care less about her anger levels. "It's really you, this has been one hell of a trip," he told her.

She was blushing softly and suddenly a periwinkle cloak of herself popped into Robin's view from behind her, lying on the ground, smiling madly. She winked at Robin and Raven's direction, Robin pulling away from Raven slightly to look at the girl oddly from the side. Raven glanced over her shoulder to see where he was staring and gasped, zipping around and with a swipe of her hand the girl disappeared. She sighed. Just then a huge flock of raven's flew into the sky, a roar following. Robin, Raven and Cyborg all looked up.

"You have to go. Now," she told them urgently.

"Wait, what's going on here first?" Cyborg asked her.

Raven sighed again. "Last night, something got loss. Something bad," she informed them. Robin looked at her confused, along with Cyborg. Just then a giant red demon with four yellow eyes, long white hair, and a belt with Raven's gems on it and a cloth around him appeared in front of them, towering over them VERY high.

"Hatred shall rule," he stated loudly, shattering their hearing a bit.

"Let's just say… I have issues with my father," she told them as all of them backed up slowly. The demon growled, and Robin and Cyborg started to run away. Her father shot out yellow laser eye beams at her and sent her flying in the air. He walked after her. He began to shoot at the doorway that led out of her mind when Raven jumped in front of Robin and Cyborg, creating a shield covering them all. She gritted her teeth together from the impact of her father's repetitive blows.

"Get out of my mind… now…" she said between breaths.

"And leave you alone? Not going to happen," Robin told her sternly, Cyborg nodding.

"It's my problem, not yours. If I lose, you'll be stuck in here forever!" she cried out, eyes white. Robin stared at her with worry more for her then himself.

Suddenly her father had a giant ball of power and threw it at his daughter's shield. It broke and smoke covered the three teens. Raven turned around at Robin and Cyborg.

"GO!" she commanded as she began forcing them through, surrounding their bodies with her aura. They struggled to stay back, to not get out through the door. Raven finally couldn't push them anymore and had to get her father's attention, flying considerably up and around him and blasting him with little power against him. Robin looked at the portal and then at Cy. They were thinking the same thing.

Finally, her dad hit her, catching her small body in his enormous hand and trapping the unconscious girl.

"Hey!" Cyborg exclaimed, making the demon look down at him. "Looks like somebody needs a time out." He blasted him, making the demon let go of Raven as he fell backwards off the cliff into space. Robin saw Raven and shot out a grappling hook at a large nearby tree and grabbed her around her waist before she could hit the ground, swinging down with her and landing on the ground. She opened her eyes and rubbed her head, surprised to see Cyborg standing above her with Robin holding her.

"You stayed? But, I thought you..." she told Robin softly, thinking back to her behavior the night before with Dr. Light. He smiled softly at her, slowly letting go of her as he set her to sit herself on the ground.

"I thought you didn't like me, Raven," he said as she glanced away, knowing how she has snapped on him. He reassuringly touched her shoulder and squeezed it, smiling as she looked back at him apologetically.

"Hey, I like both of you. Now get your butts over here!" Cyborg called out just as Trigon came back up.

"Feel my fury!" he roared as he shot out and blasted back the group. Raven rubbed her sore head again and transported them swiftly to a different part of the landscape, taking her hood down as she spoke.

"He's too strong. Even with your help I cannot defeat him."

"Can't you just call out all those other yous?" Cyborg asked her.

"Yeah, the green one kicked butt back there," Robin agreed.

"It still wouldn't be enough. None of my other sides have the kind of power we need," she said sadly.

"Not alone maybe, but what about together? They're all apart of you, right?" Robin mused. Blasts from Trigon were overhead as he turned in another direction, trying to find them. Cyborg looked back at the two birds as they spoke. "Combined you could do so much more, I'm sure of it. Don't give up hope, Raven."

"It's worth a shot, and we got your back," Cyborg said to her confidently. Raven nodded once in agreement after thinking it over and Cyborg ran off. Robin gave Raven's shoulder an encouraging squeeze once more as he followed, Raven smiling after him. She took a deep breath and walked out into the open, levitating her hood up as her eyes turned white, moving her hands in all different directions and patterns. Her cape flowed around and suddenly all of her different color cloaked emotions were before her. They knew what they had to do.

They floated up around Raven and soon were spinning around in a blur of color. Robin looked back behind his shoulder to see how she was doing as Cyborg shot out at Trigon. He saw all of the emotions and smirked. Raven was truly remarkable.

Just then there was a beam of light and Raven ended up behind her father, exactly as tall as him and in a white cloak as her combined emotions. Robin and Cyborg looked up at her with mouths wide as Trigon's attention was averted to her. She then threw her hands up in front of her quickly, eyes white and hands black, as she blasted out dark power at him. He mimicked her and his own yellow blast met hers. They pushed back and fourth, neither giving up, the intensity of the energy making Raven's cape fly back, as well as with Trigon's long hair.

Finally Raven gave one final burst through and he was overcome, smoke spreading out. When it cleared it revealed a Raven in a blood red cloak. She looked up at Raven and revealed four red eyes. Before she could do anything she dissolved into red power and flew into Raven's form once again, where she belonged. Raven shrunk back down to size, and the two boys could see her once again in her blue cloak. She was near them now, and her eyes drooped as she slowly teetered. Robin ran up to her and caught her before she could fall and held her, kneeling on the ground as Cyborg walked up to them.

"It's alright now Raven, we've got you," he told her softly. "You did it."

She smiled up at him faintly and stood up on her own feet in front of the two. "Thank you, friends," she said to them, gratitude in her voice.

"So, we're all good about… earlier?" Robin asked her. She nodded her head, the two smiling at each other as Raven began to lead them to the door out.

"So…" Robin started as he and Raven were walking down the hall back to their rooms now, having just left the Main Room after informing Beast Boy and Starfire they were fine. They didn't dare tell them about the mirror incident, though. "Back there, when you were with all your emotions… what was that periwinkle cloaked one that appeared?"

Raven sighed and thought for a minute as they stopped walking. She looked over at him with a small smile, before leaning in closer to him slowly. Robin didn't move at all, watching her in confusion. Suddenly though, she didn't get closer, halting as she looked him over simply and withdrew. "Just another emotion that I'm learning to deal with," she whispered. With that said, she turned lightly with a flick of her cloak and disappeared further down the hall and into her bedroom.

Robin stood there, watching her long after the last traces of her cloak had vanished inside the room. He hadn't realized he'd been holding his breath and exhaled, a small smirk coming to his lips.

'That girl is gonna be the death of me.'

End Chapter
