Hi. This is a one-shot of Raven and Beast Boy. After the Titans break up, Raven is left homeless and emotionless. She goes to a certain Tower, where a certain green changeling is waiting... The song is Nobody's Home, by Avril Lavigne
Nowhere to Go
The outside world is mysterious. So many people can hurt you, but only one can help you. Who would help her?
I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
she felt it everyday
I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
the same mistakes again
Raven looked at the broken shards of mirror next to her and sobbed. She had once been a beautiful girl. Now her hair was long, tangled, and unwashed. Once rich lavender color, it was now the color of dirt and caked blood, from all the nights she woke up, clutching her head with long fingernails because of the nightmares. Her eyes, once hopeful and beautiful, were red-shot from her sobbing, and they reflected her sadness. Her face, once a beauty to gaze at, was old, and the lines of stress were everywhere, and sorrow showed in every pore.
What's wrong what's wrong now
Too many too many problems
don't know where she belongs,
where she belongs
One of Them walked by. Raven opened her hands in a desperate plea. It ignored her. A rushing car passed in front of her, soaking her. The silent tears went down her cheeks. One of Them showed pity, and gave her the rest of Its roll. Raven tried to smile, but her face had forgotten how. It went away. Raven ate her food quickly, having not eaten in days. She threw up, her stomach not knowing how to handle the food, having long forgotten how to digest.
She wants to go home,
but nobody's home
that's where she lies
broken inside
Raven looked at her hands, not the beautiful docile things they had been, but the new hands, old and malfunctioning. She tried to remember those words, the ones that would help her, the ones that would summon her power. After a while, she gave up.
There's no place to go
no place to go
to dry her eyes,
broken inside
The clouds started coming, and it began to rain. Raven went underneath her cloak, so torn that it barely provided the shelter that she needed. She soon fell into a troubled sleep, waking up so often that she soon ceased to try, and just sat there, the rain mixing with her tears.
Open your eyes
and look outside
find the reasons why
you've been rejected
and now you can't find
what you've left behind
Raven tried to remember how she got this way, how They had gotten to be higher then her, how she had been left on the floor, like a unwanted pet. They laughed at her, hurt her. They were doing it now, throwing rocks at her. Why, why could she not remember?
Be strong, be strong now
too many, too many problems
don't know where she belongs
where she belongs
Raven ran, ran to look for somewhere she could call home. Suddenly a building showed up on her right. She stopped. It was an old tower, in a forgotten letter. The door was knocked down, but it was enough shelter. She could find better. She started to walk away, but something called to her. She walked across the bridge.
She wants to go home,
but nobody's home
that's where she lies
broken inside
When Raven arrived at the tower, it was worst than she thought. It was old, and must have once belonged to some of Them, the higher class. She walked around until she found a room one marked Beast Boy.
There's no place to go
no place to go
to dry her eyes,
broken inside
The room called Raven, and she walked towards it. It opened without her touching it. She drew back in fear. It closed again. She walked forward again, and went inside. There was a man inside, looking at a picture. A picture of her.
She's lost inside
Lost inside
oh, oh
Raven gasped. The man turned around.
"Raven?" he asked. Raven stared at the man.
"B-" she said, but covered her mouth. Her voice was alien to her. She had not used it in over 5 years.
"Raven it's you, it's really you!" said the man, and her embraced her.
She lost inside
Lost inside
oh, oh
oh
The outside world is mysterious. So many people can hurt you, but only one can help you. Beast Boy had been the one for Raven.
