Description
At two in the morning, with the night sky still a dark blue, Raven stood at her window watching the waves splash onto the beach of the island their tower had been built on. The waves weren't very strong, but with the mood over them they were a bit more forceful than during the day. The scenery truly was serene and peaceful, but deep inside Raven a storm was raging. The dream she had only an hour or so ago was fresh on her mind, but she couldn't make sense of it, not all of it. She didn't know where it had all occurred, or when. It nagged at her like Starfire did when she found something new at "the mall of shopping" and wanted to make her come along, but worse. And few things bothered Raven more than Starfire and her girly habits. The young girl wasn't wearing her cloak or her shoes, but she had re-attached the gold chain belt that hung slanted on her hips, red rubies in the chains. It was nice once in awhile, to not have to worry about her cloak. She usually had to make sure not to get it caught on anything, so it was a good break. But that wasn't even on her mind, there was no room. For now, the half demon could only wait for morning, wait for the chance to go downstairs and warn the group. Tell them something was coming. Of course she knew this would send Robin into a tizzy over Slade, even though she didn't think he had anything to do with it, but it had to be said. What if just having everyone tread carefully would prevent it? But, then, being who she was, Raven knew all too well there was little that could be done to change prophecies. It was true that the world hadn't come to a gruesome end after her father came to Earth, but it almost had. It was simply repaired. Maybe this could be the same. Hopefully they would listen, but wouldn't get too worried. But how could she tell them that Cyborg had been... Touching two fingers to her lower lip, she realized she couldn't tell them. If they found out Cyborg had been dead in her vision they would panic, and that was exactly what she didn't want. Closing violet eyes, a sigh escaped Raven's pale lips. Normally she didn't have a problem speaking her mind, but with her mind as confused as it was right now, it wasn't a surprise. And with a friend's life at stake, she had to be more careful with her words than ever before.

After the sun had finally shooed away the moon and its stars, downstairs, the mood was only a tad less doom-and-gloom. "Good morning, Cyborg." Starfire said quietly, the second-to-last to join the team at the counter for breakfast, sitting beside Cyborg. She, Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg all exchanged greetings then went back to eating. For awhile, no one said anything, and no one mentioned Raven's absence. Robin assumed she was upset over yesterday, and knew better than to bother the strange girl unless he had to. Beast Boy knew this as well, but in spite of this was quickly eating his breakfast before launching his plan of going to check on her. But just as he scarfed down the last bite of his tofu eggs, the blue-cloaked female walked into the room. "Good morning, friend Raven." Starfire spoke first, much to everyone's surprise. All eyes were on Starfire, who stood from her seat. "I apologize, Raven. I acted like a clorbag. Please, I ask your forgiveness." She requested, looking up to Raven with naught a smile on her face, eyes dark with sorrow and regret. Raven at first didn't respond, and when she did it was a much colder response than she meant for it to be. "It's fine. Not like you haven't lost your temper before." Starfire frowned at the words. "Still in a sour mood, girly?" Cyborg asked as Raven passed him, giving her a wink before he said, "Did you ever manage to fall asleep?" Raven almost smiled at the gesture. He was trying to get her out of the situation with Starfire by blaming it on lack of sleep, and she appreciated it. "No." She answered.
"You didn't sleep?" Robin cut in, leaning over the counter with his elbows resting on it, looking behind him as Raven opened the fridge and took a red apple. "No," she repeated, taking a bite. "What's up?" Beast Boy asked, standing up, ignoring his dishes and instead walking up to stand beside Raven. "Why couldn't you sleep?"
"I'm not sure." Raven said, which was not a complete lie. For awhile she just couldn't help but lie awake, then that dream... shaking her head a bit to bring herself back to reality, she asked, "How did everyone else sleep?"
"Fine." Robin shrugged, but they all knew it was a lie.
"Like a shut down robot." Cyborg teased, gathering the dishes to clean them. "Pleasantly." Starfire said, looking at Raven. "What of you, friend Raven? Friend Beast Boy?" Beast Boy gave a yawn. "Like a log. I was exhausted from yesterday. I can never make tofu dogs in peace." He huffed, referring to the last time he had been on a picnic with his friends and cooked up his tofu dogs, how Cyborg had lost power and they had to rescue him from that odd guy, what was his name, Fix-It. Raven ignored Starfire's question, assuming she hadn't heard Cyborg's clear statement that she hadn't slept. Raven looked down at the apple in her hand, thoughtful as always. Maybe she shouldn't tell them... "Everyone." Raven said, earning the team's attention. Robin and Cyborg were by the door that led into the hallway, about to go into the gym room before she had called upon them all. Starfire floated closer, and Beast Boy's ears perked. A long silence dragged on. "Raven?" Robin asked.
"Be on your guards." Raven said, looking up to Robin. He blinked then said, "Everyone's tense and a bit shocked from yesterday. Why don't we do some training?" It wasn't a question, nor an offer, even if it may have seemed that way. Everyone followed the leader down the hall, but Raven grabbed Beast Boy as the group turned a corner and pulled him back behind herself. "Shh," she whispered, watching the other three go downstairs to get to the outside course. Beast Boy was panicking, but didn't speak. He whispered, "What's going on?! First you're all mean to Starfire, then you mysteriously tell us all to be ca-" He froze, a pale hand covering his mouth. He stared into serious violet eyes. "I'm telling you this because I think I can trust you. Promise me you won't tell anyone." Raven requested firmly. Beast Boy gently pushed away her head. "Yeah, I promise." He promised, concern in his eyes. This had to be serious. "What's wrong, Raven?" The young empath encased her apple in dark energy and sent it back to the fridge, turning now to face her boyfriend. "I had a dream last night, or maybe it was a vision. But I couldn't make it out." She explained quietly but quickly, aware Robin would come back soon to 'collect' them for training. "So, what does that mean?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. "It means I think something bad's going to happen."
"Bad like how? Trigon bad, death bad, or-"
"Death bad." Raven interrupted, watching her boyfriend's eyes widen significantly. "I was joking." He said softly, worried now. Raven shook her head, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I need you to be calm. I couldn't see anything clearly, it was foggy. I only saw figures, heard voices. If I tell everyone, I think it'll end up worse."
"So what are you going to do? What are we going to do?" He emphasized, ready to fight at her side.
"I have an idea."

In the middle of the training course outside of the tower, Starfire threw a brutal punch, knocking the head off of an auto-bot in her path. "She seems... a little upset." Robin noted quietly to Cyborg, not yet noticing Raven and Beast Boy's absence. He was too concerned with the alien female he was so fond of. "Think it's still from yesterday?" Turning his head to look at Cyborg, the other male shrugged. "You both got pretty worked up yesterday." He pointed out. "Yeah, I guess..." Robin sat back with a small sigh. Starfire finished the course shortly after, and he praised her as he did everyone, though perhaps a tad more. "Good job, Star." He smiled. "Thank you, friend Robin." Starfire smiled, floating beside the boy wonder. "Beast BOy is next, correct?" She asked. "If he were here." Cyborg said, looking around, suddenly aware of his best friend's absence. "And Raven." Robin added, turning to look at the doorway. "This isn't like them, even if they are together now. They've never been late..." He said thoughtfully. "I'm sure they're quite fine," Cyborg teased with a small chuckle. Starfire put a hand over her mouth and giggled. Robin, however, switched to 'leader mode'. "They need to train, too, whatever's up." He said firmly, standing. "Starfire, you go find them. Cyborg and I will re-set the course." He told her, earning a nod from the alien. Koriand'r nodded, taking flight to first check the roof. Realizing they weren't there, she opened the door and followed it's stairwell down. Once in the halls, she called, "Friend Raven? Friend Beast Boy?" She called loudly, a hand at the side of her mouth. "You are needed for training now please!" She added to her fellow Titans, if only they could hear her. Every hall she flew through was empty, seemed to go on forever, repeating itself with her friends nowhere in sight. Again Koriand'r called for the couple, to no avail. Raven's warning to be on guard suddenly came to mind, and Starfire came to a stop, tensing. She looked around in all directions, realizing something odd. Something... boring. She had been in this same spot forever, it seemed. She wasn't making any ground. "Beast Boy? Raven!" Starfire shouted, worry starting to build.
"Foolish little girl." Starfire blinked, recognizing the male voice instantly. But how?
"Warp!" Starfire turned in a hurry, that fury back in her eyes, eyes that fell on the male she knew too well, in his golden suit. He held four silver disks in hand, and threw each of them at the ground in a different place, but while Starfire prepared to be hit, the devices seemed to do nothing but clatter to the ground. Turning her attention back to Warp, starbolts glew brightly and she pulled back a fist. "You are not welcome here!" She shouted, throwing the starbolt at him, but he easily avoided the blow. "Calm down now, little girl." Warp muttered, a tad irritated at her irate attitude. "What have you done with my friends?!" She demanded to know. "Nothing. Yet." Warp said, tying together his fingers, hands behind his back. "You see my dear, I believe we got off on the wrong foot. I came here to see if we can come to equal ground. If we can understand each other." He tried to explain, but the alien girl was having none of it. "We will [i]never[/i] be able to understand each other!" She threw another starbolt at Warp, but this time, she saw it disappear just in front of him. "Wh- ah!" Starfire cried out when she was suddenly struck in the back by her own starbolt. Shocked as she rose to her knees, she heard Warp chuckle. "Those four disks I threw weren't any kind of diversion. You're stuck in a repeat. If you got up and started running right know, you'd be going through this exact same spot, over and over. In other words, you're trapped in a moment of time forever. Just one. And no matter how many of your attacks you throw, they'll only come right back to you- back to the moment they were fired." He smirked. "You're forever lost in these vast halls, you cannot escape, and no one can get to you. Don't you see? It's my revenge." Starfire almost growled with rage, clenching her hands into fists. "No!" She shouted. "I will find a way out and stop you from hurting my friends! You will not hurt them again!" She said in determination.
"Please, do try." Warp grinned. Starfire stood and gained energy, throwing starbolts one after another at Warp. With her desire to protect her friends the only thought on her mind, she hadn't really heard Warp's warnings. With one final starbolt thrown, they all disappeared into what seemed to be thin air. Then Warp raised an arm to shield his eyes from the bright light, hearing a scream. Then nothing. Lowering his arm, he smirked down at the unconscious alien, her body burned and bruised, clothes torn. "I tried to warn you." Warp claimed innocence.

"Hey, B.B.!" A pink-cloaked "version" of Raven giggled.
"Yeah, hi, Happy." Beast Boy smiled kindly in return, then turned to look back to the 'original, or, the whole, who was sitting beside him in her meditation position. "So..." Beast Boy trailed. "Why are we here, Raven?" He finally questioned. Raven raised a delicate hand and pointed at the yellow cloaked "Knowledge", explaining, "If it was a dream, it was subconscious. So logically, my mind would be the best place to go to clear it up. Do you know more than I do?" Raven asked, well, herself. Knowledge nodded quietly. "Yes." She used two fingers to adjust her glasses. "All your friends are in danger, Raven. Not just Cyborg."
"Cyborg's in trouble?" Beast Boy jumped up, and Raven was glad at that moment that she hadn't said anything earlier. He stood from his kneeling position, stepped up to Knowledge. "Why? How? Is he okay right now?!" He asked all at once, worried. "Beast Boy, even you are in danger. Calm yourself." Beast Boy looked down at the blue-cloaked Raven, and with a nod from her, he sat back down beside her, more closely. "Is Raven safe?" He asked with his head low. It was silent. "For now, you may want to stay here in the safety of the mirror." Beast Boy scowled. "Stay here? Are you kidding? And let my friends get hurt while I sit here and do nothing?!" Raven looked up to him, amazed by the amount of fight she saw in his eyes. She loved the fact he was so strong, but simply chose to be goofy and merciful. She knew if he wanted to, Beast Boy could be a real, well, beast. But she loved him because he wasn't. Still, his attitude of 'leave no man behind' was endearing.
"If you go, you might not come back." Timid finally spoke up in a near whisper, standing beside Happy, who looked a little less than happy at the time. "I say we go out there and give him a thorough beating and prove Knowledge and Timid wrong!" Brave hollered, a fist in the air. "Him?" Beast Boy asked. All three emotions looked at each other. "Raven?" They said expectantly in unison. Beast Boy turned expectantly to his girlfriend as well now. Raven sighed. "I think... Warp might be in the tower, and I think he's going to hurt everyone."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked, a tad irritated.
"Because we need to think of a plan to stop him. If we jump right into the middle of this- well- look where that got Starfire." She expressed, looking over as one un-noticed emotion, Sloth, sat up and sat, "I told you guys, it's too much work." She yawned, rubbing at her eyes tiredly. In spite of the moment, Beast Boy found the childish action quite cute. "Now, now." Knowledge crossed her arms. "We have to do something, we just have to think before we act." She decided.
"That's B.B.'s weak point," Happy laughed.
"Hey!" Beast Boy shouted, playfully pouting.
"Okay, okay," the blue-cloaked female stood, Beast Boy at her side. "Let's get a plan going."
"Indeed." Knowledge agreed with a nod, and they began to talk amungst themselves.

"Where are those guys?" Cyborg asked as he wiped his hands clean. Robin was finishing readying the computer half of the course, shrugging. "I don't know. But we should go get them, make sure everything's okay." He decided, walking back into the building, followed close by Cyborg, who was eager to possibly catch his pals in an embarrassing moment or something of the like. "I think Raven finally sent him to another dimension." Cyborg joked. Robin didn't seem as amused, a bit irritated the two were skipping training. "No. Maybe Raven and Starfire are talking about what happened yesterday." He thought logically. Inside the tower, the two walked side by side, Cyborg's footfalls significantly louder than Robin's, for obvious reasons. But it was odd, how prominent the sound of their quiet walking was. Robin slowed to a halt, looking up at Cyborg, who nodded. "Too quiet."
"Yeah." Robin looked around for a clue to where his friends and team mates were.
"Robin!" Robin turned around to see a disk of energy fly at his body, throwing him three feet back, rolling across the ground, unconscious. Warp held out a hand, turning to look at Cyborg who geared up his canon. Warp quickly threw four silver disks around the teen hero as he had to Starfire. "You should have stayed a baby!" Cyborg snapped, firing his canon with ferocity. A flash of light could be seen through a window in Titan's tower.

Beast Boy tried to pry a clinging Happy from his body, smiling a bit. "Come on now, we gotta go make sure the others are safe." He said, pulling Happy's hood over her face with a chuckle. Raven took Beast Boy's hand, leading him out of the mirror. A blue boot stepped out of the mirror first, stepping atop a silver disk that cracked slightly under the weight. A flash of white contradicted the black and red of her mirror's magic, and Raven grasped her cloak, pulling it up over her eyes to shield them. Beast Boy fisted his hands and held his arms up protectively. A gentle breeze pulled at Raven's cape, dancing. Wind? Both teenagers opened their eyes and looked at their surroundings. They were in Titans tower, but something seemed... wrong. Raven took a step forward, looking down at the disk she had stepped up. Gently she picked it up. "Warp's technology?" She almost asked. Beast Boy tensed. "Is he here? Can you sense him, Raven?" He asked, seeing her shake her head as a 'no'. Kneeling, she touched the floor, and that's what made them realize what was off. The ground dipped beneath her, and suddenly the flooring gave way. Raven shouted for Beast Boy as she began to fall, but he was also dropped by the weakened flooring, the two plummeting to the bottom of the tower. Raven's eyes flashed white as she grasped Beast Boy's arm and a black shadow swallowed them, mere seconds later setting them both down upright. Raven's cloak fell around her body to hide her figure, eyes back to their natural hue. "What just happened?" Beast Boy asked, looking to Raven. But there was no answer, nor motion. "Raven?" Beast Boy noticed Raven was staring ahead, and he followed her gaze to a horrific sight. The tower, the great building that had once been there home, crumbling and falling apart, depleted. Emerald eyes widened.
"No..."

She shouted. "I will find a way out and stop you from hurting my friends! You will not hurt them again!" She said in determination.

Lowering his arm, he smirked down at the unconscious alien, her body burned and bruised, clothes torn. "I tried to warn you." Warp claimed innocence.

"Hey, B.B.!" A pink-cloaked "version" of Raven giggled.
"Yeah, hi, Happy." Beast Boy smiled kindly in return, then turned to look back to the 'original, or, the whole, who was sitting beside him in her meditation position. "So..." Beast Boy trailed. "Why are we here, Raven?" He finally questioned. Raven raised a delicate hand and pointed at the yellow cloaked "Knowledge", explaining, "If it was a dream, it was subconscious.

She knew if he wanted to, Beast Boy could be a real, well, beast. But she loved him because he wasn't. Still, his attitude of 'leave no man behind' was endearing.
"If you go, you might not come back." Timid finally spoke up in a near whisper, standing beside Happy, who looked a little less than happy at the time. "I say we go out there and give him a thorough beating and prove Knowledge and Timid wrong!" Brave hollered, a fist in the air. "Him?" Beast Boy asked. All three emotions looked at each other. "Raven?" They said expectantly in unison. Beast Boy turned expectantly to his girlfriend as well now. Raven sighed. "I think... Warp might be in the tower, and I think he's going to hurt everyone."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked, a tad irritated.
"Because we need to think of a plan to stop him. If we jump right into the middle of this- well- look where that got Starfire." She expressed, looking over as one un-noticed emotion, Sloth, sat up and sat, "I told you guys, it's too much work." She yawned, rubbing at her eyes tiredly. In spite of the moment, Beast Boy found the childish action quite cute. "Now, now." Knowledge crossed her arms. "We have to do something, we just have to think before we act." She decided.
"That's B.B.'s weak point," Happy laughed.
"Hey!" Beast Boy shouted, playfully pouting.
"Okay, okay," the blue-cloaked female stood, Beast Boy at her side. "Let's get a plan going."
"Indeed." Knowledge agreed with a nod, and they began to talk amungst themselves.

"Where are those guys?" Cyborg asked as he wiped his hands clean. Robin was finishing readying the computer half of the course, shrugging. "I don't know. But we should go get them, make sure everything's okay." He decided, walking back into the building, followed close by Cyborg, who was eager to possibly catch his pals in an embarrassing moment or something of the like. "I think Raven finally sent him to another dimension." Cyborg joked. Robin didn't seem as amused, a bit irritated the two were skipping training. "No. Maybe Raven and Starfire are talking about what happened yesterday." He thought logically. Inside the tower, the two walked side by side, Cyborg's footfalls significantly louder than Robin's, for obvious reasons. But it was odd, how prominent the sound of their quiet walking was. Robin slowed to a halt, looking up at Cyborg, who nodded. "Too quiet."
"Yeah." Robin looked around for a clue to where his friends and team mates were.
"Robin!" Robin turned around to see a disk of energy fly at his body, throwing him three feet back, rolling across the ground, unconscious. Warp held out a hand, turning to look at Cyborg who geared up his canon. Warp quickly threw four silver disks around the teen hero as he had to Starfire. "You should have stayed a baby!" Cyborg snapped, firing his canon with ferocity. A flash of light could be seen through a window in Titan's tower.

Beast Boy tried to pry a clinging Happy from his body, smiling a bit. "Come on now, we gotta go make sure the others are safe." He said, pulling Happy's hood over her face with a chuckle. Raven took Beast Boy's hand, leading him out of the mirror. A blue boot stepped out of the mirror first, stepping atop a silver disk that cracked slightly under the weight. A flash of white contradicted the black and red of her mirror's magic, and Raven grasped her cloak, pulling it up over her eyes to shield them. Beast Boy fisted his hands and held his arms up protectively. A gentle breeze pulled at Raven's cape, dancing. Wind? Both teenagers opened their eyes and looked at their surroundings. They were in Titans tower, but something seemed... wrong. Raven took a step forward, looking down at the disk she had stepped up. Gently she picked it up. "Warp's technology?" She almost asked. Beast Boy tensed. "Is he here? Can you sense him, Raven?" He asked, seeing her shake her head as a 'no'. Kneeling, she touched the floor, and that's what made them realize what was off. The ground dipped beneath her, and suddenly the flooring gave way. Raven shouted for Beast Boy as she began to fall, but he was also dropped by the weakened flooring, the two plummeting to the bottom of the tower. Raven's eyes flashed white as she grasped Beast Boy's arm and a black shadow swallowed them, mere seconds later setting them both down upright. Raven's cloak fell around her body to hide her figure, eyes back to their natural hue. "What just happened?" Beast Boy asked, looking to Raven. But there was no answer, nor motion. "Raven?" Beast Boy noticed Raven was staring ahead, and he followed her gaze to a horrific sight. The tower, the great building that had once been there home, crumbling and falling apart, depleted. Emerald eyes widened.
"No..."
