(Author's Note: I do not own the Teen Titans!)

"Beast Boy, hurry up, it's trying to get away again!"

Beast Boy did not respond to Robin over the communicator for he was a peregrine falcon at that point. He wanted to tell his leader that he was on his way to help fight that White Monster, but once he has transformed, he can't speak.

"Beast Boy?!"

Please, Robin, calm down. Don't you have a villain to be busy fighting with?

"Beast Boy?!"

Beast Boy finally reached the recycle center, where his teammates were. They were having a rough time.

"Is it really that powerful?" he asked once he transformed back into his human self.

"Why don't you find out yourself?" Cyborg asked him, recovering from the smack he just received.

The White Monster was now apparently gray and had a rough texture. He was stone-like.

But since Beast Boy did not know that the creature had adapted some form of concrete surroundings, the green hero went ahead and charged at it as a rhino.

Beast Boy finally realized that he was fighting stone when his rhino horn failed to even send a bit of impact at the creature.

Beast Boy groaned in human form, rubbing his head.

"Ow, that headache's gonna stay for awhile."

"Please, friends, may you explain to me who this enemy is and how is he adapting to his surroundings most literally?" Starfire asked.

"We don't know, Starfire," Raven responded, hovering beside her teammate.

"Whoever, whatever, this thing is, we can't let it escape again!" Robin said, taking out his staff.

"Raven, can't you get into its head or anything?" Beast Boy asked while his eyes were following the monster.

"Yes, I can, but there's no telling what I'll get," Raven responded. "I've just managed to use it on humans. But I've only done it on Robin and Plasmus. If I do it on this... thing... there's no definite result on what's going to happen."

"What might happen... to you?" Starfire asked, but Raven just shrugged.

Raven sighed. Should she do it? She could just get in its mind, assuming it had one, and possibly exhaust it like she had done to Plasmus. But considering what happened the time she did it to Robin, how his visions of Slade got her heartbeat racing, it could be a worse case for the creature before them.

"Fine, I'll do it," Raven decided.

"Are you sure, Raven?" Cyborg asked as he cornered the monster, only for it to turn back and run again.

"Yes. Let's just get this over with."

Raven positioned herself, cross-legged, midair, eyes closed, hood up, arms outstretched, fingers intertwined, and breathing stable.

"Azarath... Metrion..."

Raven opened her eyes, which were now glowing white.

"Zinthos..."

Her soul self escaped her body and chased after the monster.

The team fell silent, holding their breaths and trying to stay calm in the suspense. The creature was thrashing around and they could capture it then and there, but an important part of Raven was in there.

Raven entered its mind. She hoped to find something useful in there.

It actually has a mind, Raven thought. She went deeper within it.

She could see an unusual environment, one that was very other-worldly.

She saw more than one of those White Monsters. The sight before her looked just like how she would imagine dinosaurs roam the Earth in ancient times.

She only saw that memory for a brief moment before she reached the creature's present eyes.

She saw Beast Boy staring intently back.

"I think Raven's in its head now," Beast Boy whispered.

The monster continued rambling about. Raven was now trying to wear out its mind.

Suddenly, the monster pushed Robin out of the way and was on its way out.

"Oh no!" Starfire squealed, flying to the monster and trying to pull it back into the building.

"Raven needs to get out quick!" Beast Boy shouted worriedly.

Raven did not have to hear him to know what she had to do. She was making her way out of its mind.

Along the way, she could see the creature's memories again. One caught her attention immediately.

It was a being different from the rest. It was big, mysterious, and scary-looking. Unlike the white creatures, it was purple. It looked like it had warts all over and had tentables, but Raven wasn't sure. Behind that creature was a large portal-like circle. It was really strange.

The next thing Raven knew, she was back in her body, gasping.

"Raven! Are you okay, sis?" Cyborg, who was nearest to her, ran to her and lifted her from the ground after she had dropped herself.

"Yeah," Raven said weakly, before dozing off in Cyborg's arms.

"Eep!" someone squealed. The monster had thrown Starfire and Robin, who failed to restrain it, and escaped into the forest.

Robin angrily punched the wall and growled.

"Chill, dude," Beast Boy said reassuringly, "at least we got Raven out in one piece.

Robin calmed down. Beast Boy was right. The escape did not mean defeat, he should have known that by now and should not let this less than often occurrence affect him. Besides, Raven might have gathered vital information.

"We need to get back to the tower and let Raven rest first," he said.

"Finally," Beast Boy said. He was also exhausted, but not entirely physically. He was emotionally drained after his talk with Terra. He still had to adapt to the new change that Terra's out there alive and moving, but not in the way she used to be, and especially not with him.

Hours later, Raven sat on the bed in the infirmary. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy surrounded her. She had finally woken up and was feeling well, and she was ready to tell the team what she encountered.

"Please, Raven, may we first know if this thing you encountered is dangerous?" Starfire asked, filled with concerned and anticipation.

"I don't know, Star," Raven muttered sincerely.

"What did you see, Raven?" Robin asked.

Raven recalled her memories and began telling the team her findings.

"I only saw brief moments of the creature's past. Apparently, there is more than one of them."

Everyone gave different shocked and intrigued expressions as Raven continued.

"I can't tell where they are. It's not an earthly landscape. It seems more alien-like."

"Like from outer space?" Cyborg asked.

Raven nodded. "Yes. On my return trip, I spotted another creature. It was purple, huge, and looked like an alien jellyfish. It was more intimidating than the one we've been fighting. And behind it was some kind of portal, like to some other dimension."

"That might be how our friend got into Jump City," Robin hypothesized.

"Robin, how is this bad creature, who has destroyed some parts of our beloved city, our friend?" a confused Starfire inquired.

"Uh, Star, I think that 'friend' part was sarcastic," Cyborg said.

"This is crazy!" Beast Boy exclaimed once the story hit him. "I don't understand this inter-dimension stuff!"

"It's okay, Beast Boy," Raven said reassuringly, "I'm not totally sure myself."

She then faced Robin, waiting for a response from him, telling the others what their next plan will be.

"We'll get that monster and will find out why it's here and why that purple creature is there," he said, punching his own palm and filled with determination.

"But for now, we need a rest," Cyborg told his leader, and he agreed.

"Friend Raven, get well soon," Starfire said with a loving smile. "If you want, I can cook broth that I used to eat in Tamaran whenever I've had a lengthy day."

"Long day, Star," Raven said gratefully, "and no thanks to the broth, Star. I'll manage fine with herbal tea."

"Very well! I shall tend to Silkie!" Starfire flew out of the infirmary, followed by Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy.

Beast Boy was scratching his head, still not getting the grasp of what was going on, "Ugh, I need a vacation, badly."
