The Abyss

Robin's Room

Robin wakes up and looks over at his girlfriend. He thinks about how lucky he is to be waking next to her. He looks at his phone and sees the 5 Text Messages From Gar, 2 Missed Calls from Gar. Wow that is a lot. Something must have fallen off while he was sleeping. Looking at his messages, he opens his phone. Seeing Raven's voicemail, he checks it out. When he listens to her, she says, "Dick, I need you to go to the medical bay.". Robin awakens Starfire. Starfire wonders what is going on.

Robin responds, "I don't know, but I will check-in."

Starfire responds, "Give me a few minutes and I'll come with you."

Robin tells his love that "that is not necessary" and kisses her on the forehead as he exits the room and heads to the medical bay. He enters the room a few minutes later and smells the coagulating blood and rust. He asked when he saw Beast Boy sitting on the floor, awake and wondering what had happened. "Raven!" he shouts, trying to see if the sorceress is around.

Raven shouts "I am here" as he hears books being shuffled.

Robin asks the sorceress, "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know. I'm going to see a friend to see if he can help," she replies

As he sees the concerned look on her face, Robins remarks, "You seemed worried"

When she looks at the teenager with chain marks on him, she replies, "You are not wrong."

"Do you need some coffee," Robin asks concerned. She scowls at him. "Alright, you want tea." He corrects himself

"Yes I do," She says

"Why don't you let him sleep," He asks as he walks out

Raven responds, "Because that's where he gets hurt."

"Have Bruce help me," Robins says

Raven replies, "I know the villain, I just need to find someone stronger than him.".

Robin asks "Who is it"

"Doctor Destiny" Raven answers

"Who are you going to see" Asks Robin

Raven replies, "One of the people who can help"

"When are you leaving," Robin asks

"In the morning," Raven says

"THE MORNING! Why not now" Robins asks angrily

"You don't want to fall asleep in the land of dreams," Raven says. After staying awake for another hour, Beast Boy falls asleep again. He could feel

In the Dreams of the Beast Boy

Other prisoners are looking at Beast Boy. Frowning, he looks at himself. A faint whisper is heard from one of the other people. "Hello, I wonder who you are," He replies to one of the prisoners. All he hears from that person are chirping sounds. He starts signing to this person. With his finger extended, he touches the tip of his thumb on his chin. After that, he bends once more his index finger. That being the symbol for Who.

"...Are you?" Mouths the other prisoners. "I am Lancelot of the Lake" He signs. Then the titan nods his head. He asks in sign of who the titan is. In addition to signing his code name, Beast Boy signs his real name. A friendly greeting from The Man to Beast Boy. The titan asks the knight what he is here for. The evil knight defeated me, so I am here, he said in French

Garfield signed to Lancelot, "What did you say?". After that, Lancelot just repeated it in Sign. Garfield signs to Lancelot, "Who is this evil knight.". Lancelot signs that he does not know who the knight is. Garfield asks, "How long have you been here".

Lancelot signs "I don't know"

"Who is the king now?" Garfield signs

Lancelot signs "Arthur of course"

Garfield signs "And who is the queen?"

In a sign, "Guinevere" Lancelot replies

When Garfield asks "Do you want to leave"

In sign language, Lancelot replies "Yes, very much."

Changing into an elephant, Beast Boy smashes through the chains and breaks the cage he was trapped in. He then smashes open the door to Lancelot's cell and breaks the chains that bind him. Garfield then motions for Lancelot to get on his back. In sign, Garfield asks, "Where is your sword.". According to Lancelot, it is inside the throne room of the keep. Our group then runs out of the dungeon and storms through the castle of the evil knight. Knights, pikemen, and archers are run over by us. In the keep's throne room, we look down at the lord of the keep. As I gaze at the evil knight, I see swords and skulls of his enemies adorning his throne.

The lord shouts "Lancelot, who are you with" in both English and French. Garfield then changes back into the human that he is. The lord shouts "What the hell!" in both languages.

Garfield smiles and says, "My name is Garfield."

"Why can I see everything," The Lord asks while adverting his eyes

Garfield says, "Oh crap," as someone throws him a towel. Everything starts to fade to black. In Titans Tower's medical bay, he then wakes up. He was in the form of an elephant. I don't know what the hell happened.

Ravens Room

Rachel is reading a book in her room. There's a knock at the door. "Come on in," Rachel says. Starfire walks into the room and looks at her younger friend.

"Are you okay, Rachel," Kory asks as she looks concerned

"No, I'm pissed off as hell," Rachel replies as she wipes away a tear

"What is going on" Kory asks

As Rachel tries to compose herself, she says, "Beast Boy is being hurt in his dreams."

Kory replied, "No not that, why are you crying.". Rachel dodges and evades the question while Kory persists. Her face is buried in her book as she tries to escape. Kory tries to speak to her about what's going on with her and pulls her book down. "Rachel. What is going on?" Kory pleads to her.

Rachel Says, "I'm not sure that I can save him". Kory tells her that she can save him while hugging her. When Rachel frowns at her older friend, she says, "but if it all goes wrong then at least two of us will die.".

"What do you mean" Kory asks

Rachel says, "I am going to the realm of dreams where I could die in many ways"

"Is this something you are totally comfortable with?" Kory asks

"Yes, he is a member of the family. I am sure you would do the same for me." Rachel says.

Kory says, "Yes, but..."

"But what" Rachel asks "Would you do anything differently"

"No...Is there a safer and better way" Kory replied

"No there is not" Rachel Says. Rachel opens a bottle and takes a swig. Kory raises an eyebrow at Rachel. "Yes, Kory"

"Well, what the hell is that" Kory says

Raven says nonchalantly, "I do not know. I guess it's some type of alcohol."

With a bit of anger, Kory says "who gave it to you."

Rachel says as Kory flips her hair, "I got it from Garth. I guess he forgot that 17 year olds are not allowed to have alcohol"

Kory says, "I guess I'll need to talk to him when he comes back". Rachel looks at her with a look of annoyance. Let's stick to what we were talking about before, Rachel says

Initially, Kory replied "sure", but then she asked, "Would you mind if I accompanied you."

Rachel smiles at her older friend as she says, "If you'd like to."."I would be overjoyed if you decided to come along with me." Rachel says.

"I would like to" Kory Says

"Is it okay for me to tell Dick, or would you rather I" Rachel asks.

Kory says, "You can if you want to, but we still need to discuss alcohol."

"Can we do that when we get back" Rachel asks as she attempts to exit to the hallway.

"OK, I guess. Tell Dick, and we will get started." Kory says.

Raven left and told Dick that Kory was going with her. Due to the fact that they had no idea what was going on in the land of dreams, Dick wasn't too thrilled with the prospect. He wasn't just concerned that his girlfriend would go but that anybody would go at all. Dick seemed more receptive to the idea after I pointed out that this might be the only way to save Gar. It was just a request for Rachel to bring Kory and herself back to him in one piece. Because she was also her friend, she agreed to it. After leaving, Rachel returned to her room to find Kory waiting for her. As soon as she got back into the room, she announced that she was going to acquire more magical power.

Kory asks "where are you going"

"I'm going to talk to Constance. Your powers won't work in the Land of Dreams." Rachel says.

The question "When will you leave" is asked by Kory

Rachel says, "Right after I change clothes.". Looking at Kory, she smiles. Rachel asks, "Can you leave me for a minute?"

In response, Kory says, "Of course!". Then Kory left the room, and Rachel started to undress. She removes the dress she was wearing. She puts on her traveling clothes. Putting on a pair of comfortable jeans and a skull and crossbones shirt. Wondering if she would be cold she puts on a dark-gray hoodie. She put on a necklace. The necklace was an obsidian chain and raven pendant. That necklace was her favorite. As a member of the titans, this was her first gift. The necklace had been purchased by Robin, Beast Boy, and Hawk. The Titans welcomed me with open arms. She considers them to be my family. As a result of their kindness, She became who I am today. This going to be a complete disaster isn't this. She starts to wonder how much she likes her green-skinned friend. Does she like him as a friend? Does she like him as something more than a friend? She likes all of her friends but she is only conflicted about him. There is something about him that is special. She must like the fact that he has remained so kind to her despite her attempts to push him away. She could contemplate her feelings for him later she needed to talk to Kory.

When she came to the door of her friend Kory. It was locked. Before knocking on the door, she waited for about three minutes. The door was knocked. After that, Kory shouted that she would be out in a minute. She emerged a few moments later. Wearing a light green t-shirt with bright red letters spelling out "Summer Break," she was speaking. Raven surveyed her friend's outfit and smiled as she did so. Raven asked her friend, "Do you think it's a good idea to wear that?".

"Well what do you suggest that I wear" Kory Asks

Raven replied, "Something a little more practical."

"What do you mean by that," Kory asked

"I don't know...Do you have something more comfortable to wear?" Raven asks,

"You don't believe this is comfortable?" Kory replies

"Perhaps something that blends in a little more" Ravens remarks

"Perhaps a little bit darker?" Kory replies,

"Yeah. Blue or gray?" Raven replies, "Sure."

Kory replies, "Give me a minute so I can change.". After that, Kory closes the door. Rachel is wondering what Kory's outfit will be. Rachel puts her hood on when she starts to feel cold. Who turned down the thermostat, she wonders. She starts checking the messages on her phone as she pulls out her phone. Her password is prompted and she enters it. As she looks at her number of texts, she sees that there are many. Eventually, she starts answering the texts. When Kory has finished, I tell her to meet me in my room after 15 minutes. Garth and I then started texting.

Conversation

Garth: I hope you're doing well, Rachel

Me: I am

Garth: How are you doing today

Me: I am not doing great

Garth: Why aren't you doing well

Me: There has been some chaos going on at the tower

Garth: What chaos?

Me: Too much to mention here

Garth: Anything in specific

Me: The fact that we need to go on a quest

Garth: A quest for what?

Me: Some help from somebody

Garth: Who do you need to go see

Me: You haven't heard of him

Garth: Why not

Me: Because he is just somebody you would not crossed paths with

Garth: Is he a demon?

Me: No. Why would you say that?

Garth: Because you seem desprate

Me: No but he is a god

Garth: Zues? Hera? Hades?

Me: No. He is not part of the classical panthenon

Garth: Yahweh?

Me: No

Garth: Do you want me to come with you?

Me: Not at all...I have a friend who is helping me

Garth: Where is the help coming from?

Me: Starfire is helping me. I accepted her offer of assistance with my problems

Garth: There's someone injured, isn't there?

Me: Yes there is

Garth: Who is it?

Me: Garfield

Garth: That is not good is it

Me: not at all

I then wait for Kory after texting with Garth for about ten minutes. Seeing my jewelry box, I studied it. In order to help us on our journey, I looked for some of the magical amulets that I could carry with me. Kory walks into the room as I was studying my jewelry collection and clears her throat. I look up and smile at her. It's interesting to see what she's wearing. The words "NASA" are written across the t-shirt she's wearing. The T-shirt she was wearing was black in color. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she was wearing skinny jeans. Rachel looks at the girl in front of her and says, "I like your look, Kory.".

"Thank you, Rachel. Is it okay to wear these clothes?" Kory asks as she fiddles with her bracelet.

Rachel says, "I think this would be the best thing for you to wear. It would be better than the other one you were wearing.".

"If you're going to Constatine's house, are you going alone or will I join you", Kory inquires

"I think you should come with me," Rachel tells her as she hands her the amulet

"What does the amulet do," she inquires

"So that you can see the magic all around you" - Rachel replies

"Why do I need this", Kory asks

"If we are going to the realm of dreams, then you have to be able to see the magic," Rachel says.

"All right," Kory replies. Dawn walks into the room moments later and begins talking.

Rachel begins to speak to dawn. "Hi Dawn what's up"

"Not much, there is someone who wants to see you," Dawn replies.

Rachel asks, "Who is here?"

"I do not know, Some guy" Dawn replied

"Could you describe him to me?" Rachel asked her.

Dawn says to Rachel, "There is a guy in a trench coat and hat. He is wearing a necklace with silver pieces on it."

"Do you know who that is," Rachel replied

Kory replies, "No idea."
