This is the sequel to Nightmares of Titan Tower Part One. That story can be found in my profile. You will not be disappointed!

Raven lay in her bed for several minutes after she had awoken. After last night she doubted that any of the Titans had spent their mornings any differently. She didn't want to go anywhere for another hour or two and she struggled to relax. Eventually the pressure on her bladder was too great and she had to get up.

Outside her window the sun was high in the sky. Midday, yet a blanket fog still draped the bay and much of Jump City. Even the island below and several levels of Titan's Tower were obscured by the thick mist. The grey skinned half-demon noticed she felt a little foggy, too.

About twenty minutes later Raven entered the main room of the Tower. Scanning the disheveled room she was surprised to see Beast Boy and Cyborg sitting quietly at the dinner table. It was bent slightly from when she had hit it the night before, yet they had already eaten a couple bowls of cereal.

"Hey Raven," Beast Boy called while holding up some milk and a box of 'Yummeh Os,' "we're eating this stuff before the milk goes bad. Want to join us?"

The power was still out; earlier Raven had taken a shower in complete darkness. No electricity meant herbal tea was out of the question. "All right, but why don't we just fix the tower's power grid?"

"We can't do that yet," said Cyborg while he handed her the cereal. "We'd have to go into town for a new fuse box, and Robin and Starfire are still asleep."

"I suppose you two will want to get new parts for the T-Car and another Gamestation?"

"What's wrong with the T-Car?" Cyborg and Beast Boy said in unison. After a moment they gave each other sideways glances then looked back at Raven.

"Oh, right..." Cyborg said cautiously "the T-Car... yeah we should."

Raven sat on the far side of the other dinner table and poured a bowl of the multicolored sugar loops with her powers. The cereal fizzed and spun as she watched, then something caught her eye. Beast Boy was staring at her... it was the same look he gave her while that thing had controlled her dreams, the look he had before she killed him. Much to their surprise the table Beast Boy and Cyborg were sitting at bent back to its original angle. Raven closed her eyes and clenched her teeth... her loss of control was gone, for now. She hadn't lost control for a few months now... her meditation was able to keep her feelings suppressed until that nightmare beast had come along. It seemed strange to her... how powerful it had been in dreams, only to want to become real... in a place where it was easily defeated.

"Still feeling nervous?" Cyborg placed a metal hand on her shoulder, "It's over Rae, the thing's dead. It isn't even in the sub bay anymore, BB and I dissolved it this morning."

Beast Boy brought the bowl of colored milk, remnants of his meal, to his mouth and made the contents disappear.

Raven took a deep breath and soon felt better. Her half-metal friend was right, her nightmares had stopped and even if the creature returned the Titans would be ready. Yet there was still something strange about the situation.

'Since when does Beast Boy drink real milk and Cyborg ever stop thinking about his car?' Raven's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a distant explosion coming from the city. Car alarms and emergency sirens sounded in the distance.

Beast Boy pulled his eyes away the smoke rising from the cities finical district and looked at the other two Titans, "I've got a feeling Robin and Starfire are awake now."

"Come on, load up those bricks." An armored man standing in a truck bed barked. "The cops here have a five minute response time and it's already been two." His men were hastily filling the truck with gold bricks while he shot at anything that moved with a heavy blaster bolted to the truck, a hard task in the tick fog that surrounded him.

"Okay Rick, this is the last of it." Three gold thieves inside the vault climbed through the hole they had created one last time and got into the truck. Rick tapped the back window and the driver slammed onto the accelerator. The truck lurched forward then stopped, its wheels spinning out. Smoke from burnt rubber added to the thick blindness all around him. "What the hell?" Something was embedded in the rear of the vehicle, and the rope attached to it was held taut by something too far in the fog to see.

"Are you guys new around here?" Someone called out to him. Rick fired busts of energy at the voice but it sounded again from a different direction. "I'm also guessing subtlety isn't your forte, so well be blunt." The blaster fired again in response. "You guys messed up..." said Robin.

"...and now you're goin' down!" cried Cyborg as he yanked on Robin's grappling hook and tore the truck's rear wheels off. The truck fell back, tossing Rick to the pavement and burying him in bricks.

"Titans, GO!" the slightly stunned criminals inside the truck drew weapons, but they never had a chance. Starbolts smashed windows, dark energy removed the driver's side door along with the driver and a violent green dog managed to find its way into the cabin.

Moments later the police arrived and the Titan's leader pulled Rick out of the bricks. "Welcome to Jump City, try to steal something lighter next time."

The cops hauled the gold thieves away and started to clean up. Robin looked at the truck and whistled; nothing is a better confidence booster like an easy take down. They needed one after the mind fraying experience of the past few days... maybe there was something they could do to feel even better.

"You guys up for some pizza?"

-

With dozens of toppings, five types of crust and an outdoor dining area shaped like a pizza slice, "Pizza" was the most popular pizza restaurant in the whole Jump City Area. Also, the fact that all super heroes ate free made it the natural choice for the Titans.

"One extra large meat experience, a medium veggie supreme and a whole lot of soda, please."

The young cashier's eyes lit up. "Sure thing!"

A few minutes later the Titans were at their table being served. Beast Boy crouched on his stool with his arms raised to aid in telling Cyborg how he had deftly won the day. "So then I latch onto his leg," the green boy continued, "and after he dropped his gun he reaches into his pocket."

"Yeah, I was there," Cyborg said while grabbing a veggie slice, "it happened a few minutes ago."

"You were there," Beast Boy pointed out, "but you weren't there, there. So he's going for his pocket and I'm thinking 'grenade' or 'mind control device' so I had to stop him!"

"He was reaching for his inhaler," Cyborg said, "dude had asthma."

"Who's telling the story here?" Beast Boy snatched a slice covered in several different meats at ate it with a huff.

"I think you should give Beast Boy more credit," Raven said, her voice at an almost imperceptibly more cheerful tone than normal. The changing smiled at her kind words.

"He did manage to cause a rather nasty asthma attack." Raven watched her green teammate fall off of his stool.

After the boy returned to his seat and grabbed another slice, Starfire stood up between Beast Boy and Cyborg. She reached two arms around them and with her superior strength brought them to her sides in a group hug. "Joyous!" she yelled happily, "You two have mended your culinary differences!"

"Huh?" is the best combination of what the other two Titans in her grasp said immediately preceding the hug.

"Beast Boy is enjoying the 'all meat experience' while Cyborg is eating asparagus and broccoli for the first time!" beamed Star while she started to hug the confused pair at either side of her again. After a silent pause in which Raven and Robin gave each other worried looks, Starfire pressed the issue. "You do not recall the hours upon hours you have spent arguing with each other over tofu and pepperoni?"

"Uhh..." said Beast Boy.

"Oh man..." muttered Cyborg, his face scrunched into an angered grimace. He grabbed Starfire by her shirt and lifted her into the air. Now it was her turn to be confused as he threw her with all his strength into a building across the street and followed it with a blast from his sonic cannon. "Come on BB, let's move!"

Before Robin and Raven could break from their bewildered states, Beast Boy had pasted their faces with the remnants of the pizza. The next moments were a dazed blur... By the time they had removed the scalding pizza from their faces Beast Boy and Cyborg had disappeared into the mist.

Something clicked in Raven's mind.

"No..." she said, Robin was about to leap off the building to help Starfire but the caped girl grabbed his tunic and pulled him towards her. "Don't you get it?"

"Get what?" he asked, his voice marked with confusion, fear, and anger.

"Remember when the monster absorbed Beast Boy's body from my dream? Why would it just do that to become corporeal and weak? Why would it let us wake up to kill it? Didn't you notice how easy it was to kill? And the way Beast Boy and Cyborg have been acting... it is like they're being played by actors who didn't learn everything about them... there's only one explanation."

Robin blinked and it dawned on him. His heart sank and he fell to rear as Raven let go of him.

Robin sighed. "After it was done getting Beast Boy from your dream, the creature won... and we never woke up."
