Hey guys, what's happening? This is my second Teen Titans fic, this time actually based in their world...somewhat.

Read, follow, favorite, review, but most importantly, enjoy! :D

"Titans, go!"

Robin grabbed some of his handmade bombs from his belt and tossed them at Plasmus, blasting a few holes in him that quickly sealed themselves up. The monster roared in defiance and swiped at him, but Cyborg blasted his gooey hand off before it reached the Titan's leader. Beast Boy transformed into a polar bear and began mauling at Plasmus' legs while Starfire and Raven shot at his head from above. Robin and Cyborg refocused on trying to contain the electric wires that were loose all around them to make sure they didn't hit the soaking wet floor.

Plasmus swatted at the girls, hitting a wire and sending it careening towards a soaked Starfire. Raven stopped it just in time, but could only focus on putting the wire away safely, giving Plasmus an opportunity to strike her down.

"Raven look out!"

Beast Boy jumped up, intending to ram into Plasmus' hand, but instead was caught by the monstrosity and shoved down Plasmus' throat.

"Beast Boy!"

Robin and Cyborg abandoned their efforts to attempt to save their friend. Plasmus displayed what appeared to be a slimy, drippy smile, but it was quickly wiped off his face as he began to expand, and was then blown everywhere in the facility. The team looked at where he originally was to see a green tyrannosaurus shifting back into the grinning green boy they all knew holding a shaking, sleeping man.

"You are unharmed Beast Boy!" Starfire cheered, hugging her teammate tightly.

"Yea," He chuckled. "If you guys think my room smells, you seriously need to smell his stomach."

Cyborg laughed and slapped him on the back. "Thanks for that man."

Robin looked around before joining his friends. "Why was he here anyway? I thought Plasmus only searched for toxic waste and radioactive material."

"Not radioactive material from Earth at least," Raven mused, gliding over to an isolated container in a corner of the room. She bent down and opened it, lifting something from inside and hissed, dropping it instantly.

"What is it?" The rest of the Titans rushed over.

Raven used her darkness to encase the object, which ended up being a small silver ball with a purple light ticking on the top slowly. Everyone stared at it, but no one seemed to be able to recognize what it was.

"What's so scary about a ball?" Beast Boy blinked.

Raven narrowed her eyes at him. "This ball has an outer shell made of the rarest, strongest material from a world I can't even begin to pronounce. Unbreakable in every sense of the word. The core consists of a radioactive gem that can only form on meteors that have passed through different dimensions."

Starfire gasped, "How is such an event possible, friend Raven?"

"Some meteors have such power, or have had such power placed on them, and can fall through space at such high speeds that reality is just an illusion. It is a gem that should not be messed with lightly, or at all for that matter." She stared at it for a moment before adding quietly, "Even I have no idea what it does, I just know that it would not be good if the energy stored inside here were to be released."

"How do you know so much about this space stuff?" Robin asked.

"I read. I learn. I remember."

He nodded; the answer didn't really matter. "We should take this back to the Tower. There's no telling who else could get ahold of this if we don't watch it at all times."

Everyone readily agreed and finished cleaning up the now destroyed laboratory to make it at least safe to be in before getting back into the T-car and driving to prison to drop off the man that was Plasmus and returning to the Tower. The ride back was quiet; everyone was tired, and thinking about the weapon they had sitting in the same vehicle as them. Everyone was terrified of it...

...everyone except Beast Boy.

He wanted to open it; he wanted to open it so badly. It didn't sound like it had destructive power, and maybe it was something that could help the Titans. It could be Robin's new weapon, or give Cyborg unlimited energy, or Starfire and Raven more magic, or even let Beast Boy control the beast living within him.

Arriving at the Tower, Raven took the ball and said she was going to keep it in her room until everyone decided from there where to put it. No one argued, but instead dragged themselves to their rooms and collapsed in bed, exhausted from the days efforts. Raven set the ball down on her dresser, staring at it warily before changing and going to bed herself.

Dawn came quickly, and with it Raven's need to meditate. She left and ventured to the roof, thinking hard on how to deal with the weaponized sphere. Back down in the Tower halls, Beast Boy was sneaking to Raven's room, and became an insect to crawl between the cracks inside. Changing back, he noticed the ball sitting there passively, blinking purple just like the night before. Beast Boy walked over to it and picked it up cautiously. Nothing happened, and examining it, he found nothing other than the purple light.

His finger was practically begging to touch it...

"She's going to be so mad with you," He grumbled, hesitating.

"You're damn right she will be!"

Beast Boy jumped. "Raven! I, uhhh, I thought you were meditating?"

"You think I don't know when someone sneaks into my room?" She hissed. "Put the ball down, Beast Boy, stop messing with things you know nothing about."

"You said it yourself, you don't even know what this thing does! What if it's really helpful to the team? We could use a kick-ass weapon!"

Raven's eyes flared in anger, and it took all her control to not go berserk on him. "We don't need a weapon we barely understand! We need to make sure it doesn't get into the hands of some idiot trying to use it, like yourself!"

He winced at that and looked away. "I'm not an idiot, I'm just trying to help."

"And because of that you could've killed us all. Honestly Beast Boy," She shook her head in utter disappointment. "Do you even think at all?"

Beast Boy's eyes met hers, and it finally hit her what she had really said. She had been crude in the past, but it typically had just rolled off him because he had been goofing around too. But now...when he was actually trying to help...

She opened her mouth to apologize, and he waited expectantly, but she closed it after second thoughts. Raven had never been good at expressing herself, and she wasn't about to start now. Beast Boy's ears drooped and he slunk across the floor to her doorway, and she made no effort to follow him. Her and Beast Boy had had plenty of fights; they always got through them in the end.

Beast Boy stood in the doorway and looked at the ball and back at Raven. He squeezed it tightly and tossed it to her. There was an uncomfortable pause after she caught, but just before he was about to leave for good, a ticking came from the ball.

All Raven could manage was "What the he-" before everything went white.

Raven woke up to find herself deep in the woods. She sat up slowly, holding her throbbing head as she looked around. Everything was so...so abnormal. She didn't remember such thick forests in or around Jump City, especially not ones that were such a peculiar shade of green. It was like blue green that had faded with sunlight. Did such plants even exist on Earth?

Raven pinched her nose; she was going to beat the living crap out of Beast Boy when she found him. She started walking in some direction and saw a clearing ahead. Pushing forward, she walked out and was on the shore of a beach, but it was a beach on a bay, and across the bay was a city...

Her city. Jump City.

But...it just wasn't Jump City.

The buildings were wrong, the angles were off, the colors were different, the cars zooming by had a strange noise. Raven had sat on the roof for years and watched Jump City; she could recite what it looked like morning, noon, and night for twelve months of the year. And at no time at all did Jump City look like this.

"Is this a dream?" She mused to herself aloud, but it couldn't be. She had some vivid dreams, but she could feel the wind on her face and smell the salt air and hear the engines of cars.

No, she was very much awake.

Lifting herself up, Raven flew up and away from where she was, turning around to try and get her bearings, but it only confused her more. She had been standing on nothing more than a small island in the middle of the bay with a thick forest on it and a shore going around. She stared at it for a while; something about it awakened her memories, she just didn't know which or why.

Above the city and looking down on the buildings, Raven tried to recognize something, anything that she could start with and work her way from. She didn't know where she was or what she was doing there but she had to get back. At least to kick Beast Boy's ass.

Just as her hope was deflating, she felt a tug from the opposite end of the city. It was a tug that started out as a mere tap, something you might disregard at first, and that transformed into a full out dragging of Raven being forced to oblige to this unknown power. It hurt her just to avoid it, but she wasn't too keen on seeing what was on the receiving end.

Raven followed the tug to the front of a very high end building. It was all glass on the front and the other three sides were solid concrete. Landing, she looked up at the looming structure and noticed a "T" on the doorway. It was a "T" she had seen every time she left the tower and came home, growing bigger in front of her or smaller behind her, or just towering above her as she sat on the shore, like this building was as she stood outside its doors.

"Finally."

Raven composed herself as she hurried inside, new questions flooding her mind every couple of seconds. There was a reception desk, which should've surprised her but really didn't, and no one was there. Above it in silver letters were the words "Teen Titans". She looked around and saw nothing but an elevator at the other end of the hall, and approached it warily. It dinged almost as soon as she pressed the button, and spun open. She stepped inside and the doors closed, and a robotic female voice asked for the room she would like to go to.

There were various buttons that all looked the same and one that was different. She stared at them suspiciously and pressed the different one, assuming the others were rooms or something of the sort. The voice offered her a thank you before the elevator shot up rapidly. Raven steadied herself on the railing and waited impatiently until the doors opened.

Walking in slowly, she recognized the old tower she knew and loved. At least, the layout of the living room, kitchen, and dining room was the same, just some of the furnishings were a bit nicer in this new place.

Raven could hear blasting from the television and saw a mop of green hair poking above the couch. Her hands balled into fists and were consumed by darkness as she stormed towards the green bastard.

"Rae is that you?" Beast Boy asked. Raven paused. Is his voice deeper? She shook the thought out of her head and grumbled a yes, still boiling with rage. "Can you grab me another soda while you're up babe? I'm almost done kicking this guy's ass."

That made Raven freeze up. "...excuse me?"

He sighed, "Please grab me a soda? I'm dying over here!"

Raven blinked, wondering if she had misheard him the first time, and replied sternly, "No, I won't grab you a soda, I want some damn answers."

Beast Boy paused the game and faced her, standing, and Raven would've swooned a little if she weren't so damn confused. He was much, much more buff than she had remembered, and he didn't look as if he had a childish bone in his body. Not to mention the animal glint in his eye that wasn't there before and the fact that he bothered to pause his game to talk to her.

"What's wrong babe?" He asked worriedly, taking a step towards her. "Why are you wearing that cloak? Did the white one get dirty?" He grinned suggestively, and Raven took a step back, attempting to catch her breath.

"When did you...how...stop calling me babe!" She growled.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "I thought you liked babe?"

"What the hell gave you that impression?!"

"Okay okay, deep breaths, you don't like babe," He chuckled. "What's bothering you?"

She took a deep breath as he suggested and asked, "When did you become so...so masculine?"

He blinked and burst out laughing. "Masculine? Well at least you notice some things about me I guess." He rubbed the back of his neck, and all Raven could do was watch his muscles ripple under his red and white skin suit.

"And why did you pause your game for me? You never pause your game."

Beast Boy nodded and sighed. "I was thinking last night how I can show you that I've really matured since we got together, and I figured one of the ways to do that was to listen to you when something's wrong, and something is definitely wrong ba-...Rae." He smiled sheepishly.

Raven replayed what he said a couple times before he grabbed her hand and lead her to the couch, sitting down and pulling her into his lap. She attempted to squirm out of his grip but he held on tighter.

"Let me take care of you Rae," He hummed softly.

"Let go of me," Raven hissed.

"Mmmm I don't remember you saying that last night," Beast Boy murmured, flashing his famous toothy smile. Raven stared at him, completely beyond words; she didn't think he could manage such...mature immature jokes. He chuckled and caressed her cheek, sending chills down her spine. "I remember more along the lines of...'Never let go' or 'Never stop'..." His tongue flicked outside his mouth and wet his lips, and Raven watched every move he made, entranced. "Tell me more of those words..." He bit her ear gently as his hands moved up her torso, making her emit a small gasp of surprise.

"What the bloody hell is going on?!"

Raven jumped, snapping out of her daze, and leaped away from Beast Boy, who just turned to look back at the doorway, his face one of pure confusion. She followed his gaze, and was staring at herself staring back at her, but instead of her typical dark leotard and blue cloak, she was bathed in white.

"...Rae? But I thought..." Beast Boy blinked and looked at Raven.

"Who the hell is she?!" Raven and the other Raven said simultaneously. They stared at each other long and hard and Beast Boy stood, attempting to stop this before it got messy like he knew it would.

"Rae, I thought that was you when she came in, I swear," Beast Boy pleaded, walking over to the other Raven slowly. She didn't tear her eyes away from Raven until he was right next to her, hugging her gently and kissing her hair. She looked at him sadly and he said something that forced her to look away, but he grabbed her chin and held it so that she had to look at him. Raven couldn't make out what they were saying, but it seemed to clarify itself after he settled his mouth on hers.

Watching them sent a bolt of electricity down Raven's spine. It was disgusting to witness, but she couldn't tear her eyes away. The other Raven's arms wrapped themselves around Beast Boy's neck, her hands burying into his messy hair. His own were situated at her waist, holding her against him tightly. When they parted, he rested his forehead against hers, and must've said something that made her crack a smile, and that's when Raven forced herself to look away.

"So if she isn't you, who is she?" Beast Boy asked, turning back to face Raven.

The other Raven stepped forward, more calm than before, and stared at Raven for a long time before saying, "She's not from around here."

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow. "You don't say."

The other Raven gave him the middle finger without looking away from Raven. "What do you call yourself?"

"Uh...Raven."

Beast Boy stared at Raven and chuckled, "Okay I have to write that down."

"Shut up Gar," the other Raven shook her head.

"What's going on?" Raven asked, almost desperately.

"What do you remember?"

Raven thought hard, "I was...I was in my room, fighting with him," She pointed to the green idiot, "And we had recently captured this device that I had no idea how to operate, and he of course had to mess with it, and he accidentally sprung it and gave it to me and I woke up in this weird area of woods and I felt this pull towards here and...well, here I am."

Beast Boy walked up behind the other Raven. "What does that mean?"

The other Raven sighed, "It means despite what reality you exist in, you're still an idiot."

Raven stood there for a beat before exasperating, "I'm in a different...reality?!"

She nodded solemnly. "I'm sorry, but it's the only explanation that fits your story. My name is Rachel, and this is Gar, short for Garfield."

Raven glanced at Beast Boy...or, Garfield, and smiled slightly. "Garfield?"

He growled. "Oh what, and my name is any better where you're from?"

"You're Beast Boy."

Rachel covered her mouth as her shoulders shook with laughter and Garfield pinched his nose in exasperation. "I'm doomed to have dumb names."

"Are you friends with Dick, Victor, and Kory, or Koriand'r maybe?"

Raven shook her head, and Rachel grabbed a photo from next to the couch. Raven then proceeded to point to her friends, however different they seemed, and name them, "That's Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire."

"That's so weird..." Garfield stroked his chin. "Do I still look this good as Beast Boy?"

Rachel punched his shoulder and Raven shrugged, "Beast Boy...well, he's not as mature as you; not physically at least."

Garfield laughed. "I remember being a skinny nothing...did you still love me then?"

"I've always loved you Gar," Rachel smiled, squeezing his hand. Raven wrinkled her nose and looked away as they got sappy with each other until Rachel noticed how uncomfortable she was. "Gar, can you go tell the others to start searching the city for the ball Raven described?"

"Will you be alright here alone?" He asked quietly, reluctant to go.

She rolled her eyes, "I think I can take care of myself...literally."

He smiled and kissed her nose before running off. Rachel watched him go before sitting on the couch and offering for Raven to sit down, saying, "It must be hard for you, missing Beast Boy and all."

"Why would I miss Beast Boy?" Raven raised an eyebrow. "He's annoying and stubborn and tells the lamest jokes and smells and is beyond immature and reckless."

Rachel stared at Raven. "So you and Beast Boy...are not together?"

"No!" Raven forced back a blush, crossing her arms. "That's absurd."

"Why? Because you're so different? Because you think he could never be interested in a half demon like you? Because you believe that he can do better and that you're meant to die alone?"

Raven blinked, astonished. "How did you-"

"I am you, Raven. We may look different and have different names, but deep down, we're still the same." She sighed. "A while back, I began to realize that I was starting to see Garfield as more than just a teammate, or a friend, or someone to have my back. He became my best friend, someone I could always rely on, someone who would go out of their way to make me happy...and I needed that. Azar, Raven, did I need someone to treat me like more then a means to and end. No one has ever treated me the way Gar has, and it's something I still question sometimes because I haven't done anything to deserve a guy like him."

Raven looked down at her hands. "But...we're so different..."

"Maybe on the outside. Maybe he likes video games and you like books, and he likes tofu and you like tea. And that's understandable, but if you look past that, you're-"

"Found it!" Garfield came bounding back into the room proudly, carrying a very similar ball in his hands like the one Raven had held what seemed like a lifetime ago. "I'm not sure how this thing works..."

"Beast Boy just pressed the button accidentally I think," Raven said. Rachel nodded and handed it to her, giving her a long a serious look in her eyes. Raven didn't offer any recognition that she saw it, but she knew Rachel would understand.

Pressing the button, she let the world fade into white around her, thinking about her previous conversation, but focusing more on her doubts and objections than what Rachel had been stressing.

And then, there was nothing.

Wooo somewhat long chapter!

So I tried to somewhat base this reality off the comics, somewhat, if you didn't catch that x). Obviously there's some differences because I've never personally read the comics but I did a lil research.

Do you like it? Feel free to tell me, or make any suggestions!
