Raven sat on the love seat with her book, reading intently to ignore the sound of Cyborg trying to beat the computer on the Game Station. Beast Boy hadn't been out of his room in days. Only to eat and get something to drink, he wouldn't even do that if Robin and Raven were in the same room.
She sighed and stared at the screen blindly, thinking to herself about how strange it was that Beast Boy was avoiding them. She and Robin had been together for the past several months and it was just now becoming obvious that they were together. And giving into the pressure, they finally made it known. After the whole almost End-Of-The-World-Thing, they started to show feeling in a more intimate way.
The doors opened and Raven looked toward it hopefully, instead her boyfriend walked through and sat by her, but not before kissing her on the cheek. She looked at him and tried to read his expression but she couldn't. She sighed in defeat and went back to mindlessly looking at her book. Several minutes later Robin spoke. "Something's up Rave. You've haven't turned a page in minutes. What wrong?"
She looked at him hopelessly. "I'm… worried. About Beast Boy. He hasn't been himself." She frowned at her book before closing it. "I need to think." She said, stood up and walked to the door before anyone could object.
She wandered aimlessly through the hall and before she knew it, she was at Beast Boy's door. Well it couldn't hurt to talk to him, she thought and knocked on the door lightly. A moment later and emerald eye peered through a crack. "Yeah." He said dully.
She looked at him in befuddlement. He never didn't have a smile on his face or in his voice for that matter. She peered at him closely. Had he been crying? "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Good bye." He said bluntly and slammed the door closed, leaving Raven in a confused stupor. She pressed her ear against the door and listened as the sound of breaking glass emitted form his room and the sound of ripping sheets came to her ears. Growling and yelping soon followed.
Suddenly the door burst open and Raven found herself looking up into a mask of shadows. The figure reached down and grabbed her around the neck before lifting her to eye level. She clawed at the hands on her throat as her lungs started to scream for air.
A sudden jolt ran through the figure as an overly muscled animal rammed into it hard enough to snap it in half. Beast Boy morphed back and silently helped Raven up and out of the way. She rubbed her throat and tried to thank him but only a gasp came out. A shadow covered them and Beast Boy whirled around, changing into a gorilla as he did so. He smashed his fists together around the figures head. It staggered up and kicked the gorilla backwards into the wall.
While Beast Boy attempted to gain his balance, the villain pulled out a silenced gun and pointed it at the barely conscious Raven. He stared down the barrel and pulled the trigger. Rave closed her eyes for the impact and the pain but it never came. Beast Boy had jumped in front of her and taken the bullet instead. "No" she whispered feverently and caught him as he was falling. She lay him down on the floor, the villain with no doubt escaping. She laid his head on her lap as she scanned his body for blood. Already a patch of red was blooming right by his heart. His eyes started to flicker and his ears started to droop. "No, no,no,no,no! Don't you dare leave me! Please! Beast Boy! Stay with me!" Her hands started shaking violently and she couldn't call upon her powers to save him. "Please! I beg of you!"
He looked up into her eyes. "Anything for you Rae." his voice was feeble and fading. He whispered something hoarsely to her. "Always… loved you…Rae. Always." He closed his eyes and gave her one last grin…for good.
