In the living room, Raven was reading a book, Cyborg and Jinx were playing a video game, and Nightwing and Starfire were making out. Beast came in, and he started a conversation by mentioning the bathroom mirror.
"Yo dudes, I just thought of something that's funny. Sees, I was looking in the mirror, and I thoughts, "Man, wouldn't it be creepy if my reflection was actually looking at me as I went? He'd be a weirdo."
"That would also make you a weirdo if you're looking at yourself like that, Beast." Jinx retorted, not looking away from the TV screen.
"Also the weird As, Is, Us, and the sometimes Ys." Starfire elaborated, taking your break from kissing her boyfriend. Just then, the crime alert went off.
"Crime alert. At the... dumpster? Unless it's Plasmus, this is a little odd. But anyway, Titans, GO!" Heading towards the Jump City dump and processing plant, they spotted a person dragging something out of the garbage. It was heavy, clunky, and rusted due to being broken for so long. But this person wanted it for some nefarious reason. It was then the Titans confronted them. "Hey, criminal trash. They may say one man's trash is another man's treasure, but whatever it is you plan on stealing, it's still illegal." The person stepped out of the shadows, appearing to be Slade.
"Hello... Robin."
"Slade?!" All of them gasped in shock.
"Oh, updated your wardrobes, hmm? And here I was expecting this to be like the good old days. Right, Robin?"
"The name is Nightwing!" Richard jumped forth, bringing out his electric batons.
"Nightwing, no!" Starfire called out to her boyfriend as he tackled Slade into the shadows. The shock batons were knocked out of Nightwing's hands. And soon enough the two rolled out of the shadows. But wait, Nightwing was now fighting... Nightwing?!
"Wait, there's two of him now?!" Beast gripped his head in confusion.
"But where has the Slade have gone?!" Starfire shrugged with extreme distress.
"You won't get away with this, imposter! Titans, GO!"
"Hey, I say Titans, GO!"
"How's we gonna figure out which is which?!" Beast inquired.
"We can ask them something only the real Nightwing would know." Raven suggested, to which Starfire got an idea.
"Oh, I could ask Nightwing what my favorite color is. Only he would know what my favorite of the colors is." The Nightwing on the left ran up to the Titans.
"Oh, yes! I know this! I... It's-it's-uh..." He coughed. "It's purple?"
"The real Nightwing would know that I do not have the favorite, because all the colors are full of the beauty! The imposter!" They beat down on the Nightwing, whom cried in pain until he cried out,
"Assez!" Multiple fists grew out of the imposter's body, pushing everyone back. The imposter stood up, its arms and face morphing into a more feminine appearance as Nightwing's clothes turned into red leather. "Tsk, you Titans are just as clever as you were before the Brotherhood of Evil fell years ago." She spoke in a French accent.
"Madame Rouge, I should have known." Nightwing responded. "What are you doing back here?"
"It took me years to manipulate my molecules enough to escape the tomb of my frozen body, among my frozen brethren and comrades. I shall rebuild the black hole generator, and resume my plan to take over the world."
"We won't let that happen! Titans, GO!" The six try to gang up on her, but Madame Rouge would not be so easily overpowered. She used her shapeshifting to pull swift switcheroos with each and every one of them, confusing the Titans to attack each other in the chaos.
"Wait, wait, stop!" Nightwing stopped the fighting, realizing this was gained them nowhere fast. "Where's Madame Rouge?" They heard an echoing laugh throughout the plant, and saw that the machine was gone.
"You cannot stop me, Titans! Au revoir!"
"We have to find Rouge before she strikes again!"
"I couldn't have said it better myself." A new feminine voice spoke from above. They looked upward, only to see... themselves?! But they were different. They appeared to be gender inverted... and missing a Jinx. They jumped down, shocking the Titans.
"Who is you?!" Beast questioned.
"I's me!"
"How come you looks like me?!"
"How come you looks like me?" The female Beast asked, more calmly, and skeptically.
"I askeded you first!"
"Well I askeded you second, and two's more than one! I think." The two Beasts started circling around each other.
"Wait a second, is I you?!"
"Is you me?"
"I so confused!" Raven stepped in, growling in annoyance.
"Okay, don't hurt yourselves, brainiacs. And enough with the bad grammar. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."
"We them good ol' long lost relatives?" Beast asked.
"No!" Nightwing yelled in irritation, before taking a breath. "It appears these are alternate dimensional versions of ourselves. You used a Worlogog, didn't you?" Robyn answered,
"Well, not ourselves. Sir Rumyana took the Worlogog, and we followed him to this dimension.
"Looks like we're having another case of double trouble!" Cyborg became excited.
"Yeah, double the trouble and twice the fun! Poo-bah!"
"Poo-bah? That's your catchphrase?" Victor questioned. "I would've thought that you would say, Booyah!" Victoria's eyes widened.
"Oh, that does sound cooler!"
"Booyah!" The two Cyborg's high-fived with a metallic clang between their hands.
"Well, in any case, Madame Rouge is still on the loose. And with a Sir Rumyana added in the mix, I'd fear what'll happen if the two find each other."
"Then we have no time to lose. Raymond, can you track down Sir Rumyana's location?" Robyn asked the blue cloaked Titan. He sighed.
"Fine. Mazarath Zetrion Tinthos!" His eyes glowed white as he let a soul-self crow fly out of his body, searching for clues.
"Crows, huh? I can do Ravens." Raven told her gender counterpart. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She aided Raymond by sending her soul-self raven as well. As they just waited, the male Starfire said,
"Wow, you have a lot of hair. You must lots of good luck and health, as is Tamaran tradition."
"Thank you. I take care of it well." She hugged her hair. "Though I have never met a fellow Tamaranean who has adopted the style of the afro."
"It just fits with my curly hair. I can't brush it without breaking combs."
"I know the feeling."
"Why isn't there a male Jinx on their team?" Jinx was curious. "Am I the only Jinx in the Teen Titans in the multiverse?"
"Well, remember when the two Trigons tried to conquer Earth?" Cyborg reminded her. "We brought along like over 50 versions of us, and none of them had a Jinx with them."
"I mean, there is a male Jinx as an honorary Titan, though he's with our Flash Girl." Victoria told them. "I think that's the majority of Jinxes."
"Ugh, I don't know how any version of me could stand dating such a fast moving motor mouth." The pink haired metahuman groaned.
"Quiet." Both Raymond and Raven said.
"I found Sir Rumyana's trail." Raymond informed them. "We have to move."
"Titans, GO!" Robyn and Nightwing ordered. Using teleportation, they followed the trail until they found a dead end in an alleyway.
"Whys would Sir Rumyana come here?" Beast Girl asked.
"Hmm, I think it's more... What happened to Madame Rouge after coming here." Nightwing deduced as he turned on the HUD in his mask to scan the area. "I see two sets of mildly warm footsteps, and the signs of metal being scraped against concrete, but they have no continuation past here. My guess is the two Rouges found each other, and the male version used the Worlogog. Raven, our Worlogog?" The half-demon sorceress snapped her fingers to summon the object into her hands.
"Hey, nice mask." Robyn complimented. "I should get one of those. Mine just shields my eyes." He smiled.
"You should consider becoming Nightwing. Or what suits you best similar to it."
"I'll definitely consider it." She gazed in approval at his outfit. Once Victor and Victoria open the Worlogog was a juryrigged dimensional GPS to make sure they accidentally go to a random universe, they traveled from Universe 4232013, to Universe 3102324. Sensing where they're going, the Titans went to... their tower? It was there that they found Madame Rouge, and her male counterpart in a red trench coat, has found them.
"The Titans?! How did you find us so fast?!" Madame questioned in shock before angrily turning to her Sir counterpart. "I thought you said they were stuck without a Worlogog to follow us?!"
"я не знал, что он у них есть!" He retorted in Russian. (I didn't know they had one!)
"Ugh, useless man."
"Give it up you two shapeshifters!" Robyn called out to them. "It's eleven of us, and two of you."
"Oh please. Five or six of you struggle to face against me. Now you Titans have to deal with my male doppelgänger."
"И мы раздавим вас, как слабую вареную картошку!" (And we will mash you like weak boiled potatos!)
"Who weirdly only speaks Russian when not impersonating someone. I get he's Russian in this universe, but seriously, learn some English, imbécile."
"Ты чертов расист!" He called her out. (You f--ing racist!)
"Focus, other me. Now, Titans, prepare to face the wrath, of our combined might!" Madame Rouge wrapped herself around Sir Rumyana, melding their amorphous bodies together into a black and red blob, cackling with a man's and woman's voice as two sets of arms came out, two pairs of legs to support their mass, and two malformed faces emerged. "Nothing can stop us no-ugh, why do I suddenly feel like eating pierogi dumplings and borscht?"
"Не смей оскорблять русскую кухню, напыщенная француженка." (Don't you dare insult Russian cuisine, you pompous French woman.)
"Whatever! Let's just destroy these Titans!" Rouge yelled at him before extending many hands with spiked fingers towards the Titans. Raven and Raymond generated a double layered shield with their soul-selves, bashing each hand away.
"Get back!" Nightwing and Robyn leapt over the shield, throwing multiple explosive capsules, causing ripples to spread across the combined villains.
"Ha, you'll have to try harder! Those tickled!"
"Then how about we use some real fire power!" Cyborg and Victoria clasped hands, connecting their technological power, aiming their sonic cannons at their large target.
"Booyah!" Both yelled as fired a combined blue and pink spiraling blast, hitting the shapeshifters square on, making their bodies ripple even more from the concussive sonic forces.
"Ой! Мы не проиграем!" (Ow! We will not lose!) Sir Rumyana yelled as they let the blast pass through their body by forming a hole around the center of their mass, moving around the attack while forming a giant hammer, smashing the two mechanical Titans away. Rumyana and Rouge laughed sinisterly before being blasted from above, spiraling green and black energy from the two Starfires and Ravens, overwhelming them so much that the two exploded into rubbery pieces. The pieces melded back into a combined one being, groaning in pain. Opening their eyes, they were face to face with two green dragons. They only had time to look shocked before being bombarded in two plumes of massive fire breaths, screaming as the intense heat scorched their body before they started melting. By the time they were done, the two villains were nothing more than steaming, boiling puddles, too unstable to reform into any solid shape. Black energy surrounded them as Raymond lifted the sentient liquid into the air, Raymond pouring them into a thick glass jar. Bickering could be heard from inside.
"Убери свою массу с моего лица!" (Get your mass out of my face!)
"Oh shut up, you imbécile!"
"We're going to have to freeze them again, and kept somewhere cold." Raven suggested. "It may have taken Rouge years, but I'd rather not deal with her again."
"Too bad I couldn't take a crack at her." Jinx sighed as she kicked the ground. "But I guess she would've overpowered me anyway."
"It's alright Jinx." Cyborg said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You didn't have to prove anything to her."
"Thanks Cy."
"You opposite gender Titans are the amazing!" Starfire complimented their lookalikes.
"Uh uh uh, we don't need to be all "opposite" about it." Robyn corrected. "That implies that we're spin offs from you when you five could just as easily be our spinoffs. Let's just treat ourselves as equals."
"Sounds good." Nightwing agreed. "So... while we're here, is it cool if we hang out for a bit? It would be interesting to see how similar and different we are."
"Sure. We can hang out." Robyn shrugged. "Titans, let's relax with our counterparts.
Richard and Robyn were hanging out in the gym, using the treadmills.
"So, what's your name? I don't really know if there's a female version of "Richard."
"My name is Ricarda Grayson. When did you go from Robin to Nightwing?"
"Shortly after Beast Boy became 18. We adopted new looks to show we're growing up."
"Makes sense. I should probably update my wardrobe too. Black and pink would fit me so well."
"So how has leading the Titans been for you?"
"I've had my hurdles, but it was important I kept my mind open to communication and trust."
"I certainly struggled with that at first. I tended to get a bit tunnel visioned, and left my team out of certain missions if I believed I was the only one who could do it."
"Let me guess, Batman, in your world?"
"Yes."
"I see. Batwoman was the same for me. But I didn't want to push everyone away by being selfish and stoic. So I let my friends in more easily. We may have felt more like a newly formed team back then, but I wanted to treat everyone like a new family." Nightwing smiled.
"Sounds nice."
So your name is And'rkor, or Firestar?" Starfire asked her Tamaranean counterpart as they walked to the outdoor training facility.
"Indeed, Koriand'r." He nodded, adopting a determined face. "I was given the name, in the hope that my strength will burn as strong as a star as I lead my people to victory in our wars."
"How interesting. I was given my name in the hope that my compassion for my people and ensuring victory would lead to a better future."
"So, you were raised more diplomatically, while I am more militaristic. You also appear to fight with a more finesse based fighting style, while I'm more into overwhelming power."
"It is true that I was raised differently due to my lack of muscle mass, but I can assure you that I am just as strong as any male soldier and gladiator."
"I do not doubt that, but I'd like to see for myself. A friendly sparring match, if you will. Swords included to make things interesting."
"Oh, this shall be the exciting!" Starfire squealed as she flew to the training console, and pressed a button to make numerous trees and boulders rise up from the ground. Once she came back to the battle ground, providing her counterpart and herself with swords as well, both kneeled to one knee, starting Tamaranean battle tradition.
"Oh mighty X'Hal of Tamaran, grant me strength to prevail in this battle."
"Oh generous X'Hal of Tamaran, grant me courage to overcome my opponent today." Both stood up, slowly walking around each other in a circle, sizing each other up. "May the best Tamaranean win."
"I intend to, princess. Ha!" Firestar went on the offense first. The two evenly clashed swords, but Starfire realized that his strikes was gradually overpowering hers from his brute strength. Like when she blocked one of his attacks, but it caused the ground below her feet to crack and gradually give way from how hard he was pushing against her. "You're strong, princess, but you're no match for the Prince of Tamaran."
"Get the over of yourself!" Starfire rebutted as she kicked him away in the gut, and shot her eye beams at him from close range, though he still evaded by side stepping, his afro only taking a slight bit of burnt damage. The eye beams hit and blew up the trunk of a tree behind Firestar, causing it to nearly crush him, if it weren't for the warrior prince to catch it with his free hand, his feet cracking into the ground like Star.
"Impressive environmental tactic. But I will not fall for such a trick." He threw the tree and the Tamaranean girl, but she simply flew around the tree in a spiral pattern, attempting a vertical slash. He block the attack with a grunt, her attack pushing him deeper into the ground with his shoes completely hidden. With a head-butt to her forehead, he managed to momentarily stun the heroine before kicking her away, splitting the tree he threw at her with Starfire's body long ways. The warrior princess stopped her momentum by stabbing her sword into the ground, using friction. With a throw, Firestar made his sword fly at such a spinning speed, it was almost like a saw blade as it slashed through several trees without stopping. Starfire jumped over the sword acrobatically, while Firestar used his super speed to catch the spinning sword behind her. Turning around, she had just enough time to deflect his eye beams with her sword, though the effort pushed her back. Needing an advantage, the warrior princess tilted her sword in such a way, the attack was reflected right back into his eyes, blinding him. "Ah! My eyes!" As the prince held his hand over his eyes, he received a hay-maker punch to his face, with Starfire smiling. He smashed into a boulder, groaning as he tried opening his bloodshot green eyes, but couldn't see properly. It was like he looked into a super charged laser pointer, and his eyes were still overwhelmed from the light and heat.
"What is the matter? Never had your attack reflected back at you before?" Starfire taunted him.
"I do not need my sight to win." Firestar stabbed his sword into the ground before gripping onto the boulder he crashed into, lifting it out of the ground, holding it over himself before throwing it at his female counterpart part. Seeing it was too large for her to slash through, Starfire stabbed her sword into the boulder, and yelled as she heaved the boulder over her shoulders and let it fly past her. The Tamaranean woman smiled, before she was tackled by her male counterpart's shoulder, pushing her into the ground. "Got you!" He tried to stomp on her, despite his blindness, but she rolled out of the way and got onto her feet. His blindness gave Starfire an easier time fighting against him, such as tripping up his feet or jumping over his attacks, but Firestar's sharp senses, equal speed and superior strength made it hard to break his defenses. With a downward slash, he forced Starfire down onto a knee, said knee cracking the ground. Just as he was going to deliver the finishing blow, Starfire shot her eye beams into her sword, infusing it with energy, which allowed it to cut through his sword. "Huh?" Another eye blast to his stomach pushed him back, crashing into a tree. By the time his vision was coming back, Starfire grabbed his face, smashing him through more trees as the female Tamaranean used his body to make a trench across the island, and into the ocean. A few bubbles came up before Starfire was punched out of the water, splashing onto the beach. Firestar rose out of the water, groaning as he stretched his neck, popping the joints in it. "I would say that's enough. Would you?" He used his star energy to evaporate the water off of him.
"I would indeed." Starfire agrees as she wrung her hair out. "Oh, what if we raced to Tamaran and back to see who can reach back here first in under a minute!"
"You're on!" The two Tamaraneans flew off into space to continue their friendly competition.
Raven and Raymond were reading Azarathean books in the library, enjoying the peace and quiet. Looking up at Raven's forehead, he asked with little inflection,
"Why does your forehead lack the gem?"
"It was damaged by Gentleman Ghost. I was losing control of my inner demon. Especially when it got destroyed. But I was able to accept my inner demon, so now I can feel and express my emotions as much as I want." The two were silent again, as the male half-demon processed this while he resumed reading. He sighed through his nose.
"That... I'm happy for you."
"Don't hide it. Even under your stoicism, I can sense your jealousy." Raven said, not looking up from her book.
"It's just... while we both were raised by our people to suppress our emotions, I was forced to never let anything show. They believed that a possibility of someone with higher aggression and lower empathetic capability would be more dangerous than if it was a girl, so I was told that letting myself open up is dangerous for everyone. Including me."
"I understand where you're coming from. Our genders can have an adverse effect based on how we think and operate."
"Even after Robyn saved me and I opened up enough to save the world from Trigona, my mother, I still shut myself up after. How does one overcome a fifteen year long childhood of being told that you're dangerous if you ever feel the emotions inside you?" Raymond asked as if it was merely a philosophy question, but had the tiniest traces of frustration in his voice. Raven sighed as she put down her book.
"Just take it one step at a time. Even before facing my father, I allowed myself moments of vulnerability, like smiling and doing stupid teenage things with my friends. Did I believe myself to be above acting like a hormonal teenager? Yes, but I didn't want to completely deny who I was. I was still a teenager. I wanted to experience things I never got to in Azarath."
"So then how? How can I experience all that and let myself open up? I'm... I'm tired of being so bottled up and feeling unable to release it." Raymond gripped his cloak tightly.
"You just have to take a leap of faith. I did when I started dating Beast Boy." That stumped him, even if it wasn't visibly by much.
"You and him... dating? I can't imagine that for us. Beast Girl is cute, but she's so lazy and immature."
"So is Garfield. Heck, he's 19 and he still acts like he's 14 when he joined the Titans. But... if there's one thing he never does half-measures by, it's trying so hard to make me happy. Even though he doesn't need to try so hard, he does anyway because if there's ever a possibility I'll be happy with something, he does it." Raymond considered this, stroking his soul patch.
"Arlene is always trying to do the same. I always just thought she was trying too hard. That there are better options for her than me." Raven took his hand.
"If she hasn't given up on you by now, it's unlikely she'll ever give up... but I wouldn't take that for granted. She could be swept up by someone like Terra, still." Terra. The name reminded him of a certain earth manipulator named Terry. And thinking of Arlene being with anyone else other than him made him feel... jealous, as much as he tried pushing it down.
"I don't want that to happen."
"Then let her into your life. I'm not saying immediately ask her out on a date, just try to tolerate Arlene a bit more." Seconds passed before he sighed.
"Okay. I'll try."
"Good."
"I have to say, I feel like a tiny third wheel between the two of you." Jinx complained as she stood in the middle of the two Cyborgs in the elevator with her arms crossed, her natural height only coming up to the bottom of where their ribs or pectorals would be. And that didn't include her hair.
"Hey, can I help if you're a short white girl?" Victoria giggled as she ruffled Jinx's hair.
"I'm Indian." The metahuman corrected with a grumble. Victoria took her hand off, wincing.
"Oooh, sorry girl. I didn't mean to be racist. It's just-"
"That I don't look and sound like one, and neither does yours? Never heard that first part before." Jinx replied with biting sarcasm. It was awkward in the elevator now, until Victor coughed into his fist.
"So, you have hair, huh? I lost all of mine in the accident that made me." He felt the top of his head, feeling the contrast of his smooth skin and slick metal.
"I mean, same for me, but these aren't my real hair. They're synthetic implants." Victoria ran her metallic fingers through her fake tresses.
"For real? Cool. I've tried finding some hair to wear, but nothing suited me."
"It cool, bro. You don't need hair."
"What's with the feminine body?" Jinx asked Victoria. "Cyborg is a big, bulking robot man, but you look much more realistic in body shape."
"Well, I don't know what Victor did to be so bulky, but I wanted to be a professional hockey player, playing for the Detroit Red Wings. So I couldn't be too big of a woman. Unless it was goalie, but I didn't want to be the goalie."
"I see. I was aiming to be a football star. Detroit Lions."
"Ah, I see. Hehe, no wonder you're so large compared to me. Your pops had more muscle mass to graft super advanced metal onto?"
"What does it look like?" Victor chuckled, making her giggle too. Jinx rolled her eyes, but smiled at the two cyborgs having fun. They reached the basement, where they found the T-Car.
"Ooh, sweet ride, Vic! State of the art?" Victor asked, making her smile.
"Better."
"Can it cook meat on the grill like mine does?"
"Steak, BBQ or hotdogs?" She asked like she was offering.
"Booyah! Let's go out for a spin!" He suggested as he started dumping BBQ ribs on the grill over the literally stain-proof engine.
"Booyah! Jinx, want to come along?"
"Sure, since my counterpart isn't here, I've got nothing to do on my own." Jinx shrugged as she got into the middle seats, while the two cyborgs sat up front.
"Booyah!" The two yelled as they zoomed out of the garage to Jump City.
"So, what's the Jinx here like? Just as cool as me?" The pink haired metahuman asked. Victoria gave a so-so hand sign.
"Clever and formidable? Yes. Cool? Not that much. He's probably more hotheaded than you are, which is probably saying something, and he's a bit more straightforward than his strategic leader, Gizma."
"Tsk, typical boy behavior." Jinx nonchalantly rolled her eyes. "How boring."
"Hey, don't knock the testosterone till you try it." Cyborg jabbed back with a playful nudge, making her slyly smile.
"Same goes to you for estrogen, big guy." She giggled while punching him. "Soon as you have periods and guys tell you to smile more, talk to me."
"Oh, and get this about Jinx." Victoria giggled. "His skin tone is bubblegum pink while his hair is grey!" All three of them burst out laughing at the color swap.
"Oh man! That's ridiculous!" The metahuman laughed as she wiped a tear.
After a whole day of getting to know each other, it was time to head home by the end of the day.
"So what did you and Beast Girl do together?" Raven asked.
"Oh, it was awesome, mama! Wes gots to play fetch as dogs!"
"Then wes went to a bowling alley and played for hours!"
"Though we did sort of cheat to see how many animals could strike." Garfield whispered.
"Then wes turned into caterpillars, and came out as butterflies!"
"Oh, I do like the butterflies." Starfire smiled.
"Thanks for the help, Robyn." Nightwing shook her hand. "It was fun learning about us being gender swapped."
"Likewise. Come over sometime again if you like."
"Same for you."
"Nice to know there's a cybernetic dude just like me." Victoria said to Victor.
"Yeah. Can't wait for next time." Victor agreed. They each shook hands with enough strength for the metal to groan.
"Farewell, Starfire." He bowed in respect, but she proceeded to hug the Tamaranean prince.
"No need to be so formal, Firestar. It is the good to accept the feels and hugs." It took a second, but he accepted with a smile and hugged her back.
"Is real glad we met, Gar." Beast Girl told her counterpart.
"Me toos, dudette. It felt nice being with someone without thinking I'm just a goofball."
"Dude, you are a goofball. But sos am I, sos its okay."
"Sweet.
"Take care." Raven said to Raymond.
"You too."
"Hey, don't I get a goodbye?" Jinx asked, feeling left out, only to be strongly hugged by Victoria, whom lifted her off the ground by doing so.
"Don't think I forgot about you, girl!" She giggled. "You be good and crazy now, you hear me?" She had difficulty breathing with her spine being popped until she was let go, but the metahuman chuckled.
"Hehe, will do."
"Titans, let's go back to our Earth." Nightwing used the Worlogog to open a portal, and went back to their universe.
A/N: So, turns out that I almost made a cultural stereotype about Russia. I was going to have Sir Rumyana, (Russian for Rouge), to say "For Mother Russia!", but that's an exaggerated American view on Russian national pride. The closest they have is Rodina(and no, I'm not specifically referring to the political party of the same name.), who is to the Russians as Gaea is to the ancient Greeks of old as mother nature. At least that's what the research said. But yeah, nobody in Russia belts out "Mother Russia!" Good thing I caught myself wondering if they actually did say that, instead of assuming they do.
