A/N: Hey everyone. I know I'm not done with my other story yet, but the idea for this has been bouncing around in my head for a while and I had to get it out. I know it's not he Korrasami you're used to, but I hope you like it anywhere. VERY mild lemon. Like, if it really were a lemon, it would still be green. Possibly still just a nub on the tree. I warned you, so don't get mad when it's not what you expected.

Raven's Predicament

Raven sat at the table trying to remain calm as she sipped her tea. Her back stiffened as another wave of lust flowed off of Starfire as she gazed at Robin. She rubbed his leg under the table as she ate whatever was currently squirming on her plate.

Either they had recently taken the plunge and her childlike innocence had been stolen and corrupted, or she had done so herself and was more than willing to copulate with the stoplight.

Sighing, Raven huffed into her tea, her back rigid as she focused on the steam rising from her cup. No matter who it was directed at, she felt it. It rolled over her like a thick fog and it was all she could do not to squirm and moan aloud herself. Azar above, she didn't know how much more of this she could take. Between Starfire's lust for Robin, who either had excellent control over his own emotions, or was just at a different state of mind altogether, and Beat Boy's affection for her she was going to go mad.

The changeling hadn't acted on his feelings, and she let him continue to think she either hadn't noticed the change, or thought it was something else. Her own affection for him aside, she knew it was a non-option. She was only half human after all, and she feared what her demon side would demand of her if she opened that door.

Demons knew nothing of monogamous relationships. Once sexually active a dominant demon would mate with whomever it could get to submit. Most all demons would fight for that dominance, but once that fight was lost a submissive demon was the property of its aggressor, as far as its partner was concerned. Doms would protect their property, even if it didn't want said protection, and Raven knew enough to know that if she poked at that particular cage, the demon inside would bite.

She shivered at the thought. She may be half human, and may be able to avoid or contain such unpleasantness, but why take the risk? She was quite sure others enjoyed their sexual encounters, but why risk turning herself into some sex crazed monster, a possible rapist even, slave to her basest of instincts? The answer was simple: there wasn't one. She simply would not allow it. Some problems can be avoided, and sometimes the simplest answer is the best one. So, she had denied the temptation to open that particular can of worms.

She closed her eyes and breathed through her nose as she felt herself clench. Her heart was racing and her hormones were getting the better of her. She felt Beast Boy's worry for her. He had noticed the change in her demeanor.

She stood quickly, leaving her untouched tea on the table in front of her as everyone looked up at the sudden movement. "I'm going to my room," she stated blankly, and opened a portal beneath her. Dark energy pulled her down, its cool tendrils sending shivers down her spine and leaving goose bumps in its wake.

In the safety of her room, she unclasped her cape and quickly stripped her clothing off. Reaching into her nightstand drawer she pulled out a small vibrator and pearlized grey dildo. Crawling into bed she let her legs fall open and inserted the dildo into herself. Groaning at the sensation she clicked on the vibrator and brought it to her clit, moving it in circles as she pumped her toy in and out of herself. Already she could feel release coming. Good. This was not for pleasure, it was purely clinical. The quicker, the better.

She closed her eyes, a series of scenarios and flashes of fantasy passing quickly through her mind's eye. Two women, grinding on each other's thighs, a man bound and chained as he watched, his hard cock dripping precum and twitching as he watched, unable to pleasure himself. A man pounding into one woman as he ate out another who sat on his face making out with the other woman as they fondled each other. A woman sandwiched between two men as they entered her vaginally and anally at the same time.

She groaned again as she felt herself flutter around her dildo and went at her clit with the vibrator with gusto, egger to finish so she could continue her day. Then something changed. Rather than the release she usually found so quickly, this time it felt different.

The heat pooled in her core, resting just above her pelvis as her walls tightened and constricted. Her abs tightened, and her heart attempted to burst from her chest. Her breathing came in short rasps as a sheen of sweat covered her body, her legs stretched out stiff as a board and her toes began to curl.

Unbidden by her a high pitched moan escaped her lips. She bit her bottom lip in an attempt to cut off the next one before screaming as she fell off the edge of a cliff and into blissful abys. "Ah, oh FUCK!" she yelled out as she felt herself clench hard, her heart bursting over, and her clit spasming as liquid seeped from her opening.

She gasped for breath and blinked hard to clear her vision of the lights flashing behind her eyes as her heart slowed and she continued to flutter and clinch around her now still toy. What in Azaroth was that?! She had climaxed before, but never like that. She removed her dildo and wondered at the mess she had made. Again, she was not unfamiliar with the natural lubricant the female body produced, but she had never seen so much of it. She ran a few fingers over the wet spot she had created on her bed and wondered at it before furrowing her brow. Great, now I have to do laundry…

The next morning Raven was in the gym after breakfast, which she had eaten before Star and Robin could get up and ruin it for her, going through her solo combat training. It was something she had started recently. While she was a powerful sorceress, she was weak at close quarters combat, and she had sought to change that. She worked her muscles three times a week now, in addition to her magical studies, and at least once a week combined her new martial arts abilities, unrefined as they were, with her dark energy attacks, using her fists, feet, and sometimes knees as catalysts for her dark essence. She had found that combining them this way could be quite effective in practice, but wished to keep her newfound abilities common knowledge only among her teammates. At some point an ace up her sleeve would be a good idea, and she was far from talented in hand to hand combat. She was Raven after all, not Robin.

She had been at it for hours now and her body grew hot. The coolness of her powers was such a stark contrast to her own internal temperature that it was starting to have an effect on her. Her skin was covered in goose bumps, and her heart, while already in overdrive from her workout, started palpitating and felt somewhat constricted; she could feel be beginnings of arousal in the apex of her legs.

She froze. Arousal was something she'd had to deal with in the past. That's why she had the dildo and vibrator. But it was always brought on by her empathic abilities before this. Sexual desire was not something she herself felt. It was a consequence of the feelings of those around her. Humans were a very hormonal race. Their short life spans meant that reproduction was a must, and the need to spread their seed, or receive the seed of others meant the survival of the species.

Of course in recent decades it was also now just considered something fun to do as well. But still. Raven herself had never felt those particular urges centered within herself before. Panicking, she summoned a portal and found herself back in the sanctuary of her room.

A shower. I need a shower. Now.

She quickly stripped before grabbing a towel and washcloth and heading to her adjoining bathroom and turning on the water. Straight cold. She needed to cool off.

She hissed as she stepped under the water. Damn, that's a lot colder than I thought it would be. She clutched her arms around her chest as she shivered and turned on the hot water. Some heat is okay. I can still cool down without freezing myself to death, she thought.

As the water heated up some she leaned her head against the wall. What's wrong with me? Nothing was changing. She was still turned on, as a matter of fact it was getting worse. She felt herself flutter and grow wet. She groaned. This isn't supposed to happen to me. I'm supposed-

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud banging. At least, it had to have been to have been heard all the way in here over the water.

"Raven, are you okay?!"

Not trusting her telepathy just at this moment, she keyed a code into the shower wall.

"I'm in the shower, Beast Boy, what's the matter?" She tried to sound just as steady and stoic as she always did, but she couldn't help the waver in her voice as her nether regains decided to go into overdrive at the thought of Beast Boy so close.

"You left everything out in the gym. You never do that. I thought you might be hurt or something."

"If I was hurt-," She paused, stifling a moan as it threatened to escape her lips. He knees buckled.

"Raven?!"

"I-I'm fine. I just need to be left alone."

He's always had a thing for us, you know. Lust reared her head high.

I don't need you interfering right now, Raven reprimanded her emoticlone, attempting to shove her down into her subconscious where she belonged.

Oh, I won't be that easy to fight right now, Dear Raven. It's not my fault really…We are in heat.

What?! I can't be. I'm a Halfling!

Which is why it took so long. But I'm pretty strong right now, Dear Raven

Raven was silent. She was stunned. Then she groaned as she shut her eyes and tried to think.

"Raven! Are you all right?!"

She was unable to answer as she tried to pull herself together.

"Raven, I need you to say something or I'm coming in!"

Still she reeled as she clutched the wall for support. In heat!? How!?

Beast Boy banged on the bathroom door, apparently having put in the emergency override code outside her bedroom. "Raven!?"

Her eyes snapped open and she stumbled out of the shower to get to the door before he could open it. She locked it with her powers, determined to keep it in place.

"Beast Boy," She panted, unable to stop the wine it sounded like. "I need you to leave. Now."

"No. You don't sound okay, Raven. What's wrong?!"

"I-," again she struggled to stop a moan as she felt herself dripping down her thighs. Gulping, she tried again. "I, I'm not…" She tried to focus, to find a way to explain without explaining, but then she remember something. This was Beast Boy. If anyone would understand, it was him. "I, you- you're familiar with animals, right Beast Boy?"

He paused. "…yeah…"

"Many of them have certain cycles, right?"

"Cycles?"

"Like, mating, for instance." She gasped as a particularly strong muscle spasm rocked her core. Eyes went wide before clinching shut tightly. She shook with the effort it took to not open the door and ravage the boy on the other side. Azar, I'm so close just standing here, and I haven't even touched myself!

"…Yeah, a lot of animals have mating seasons."

"This isn't supposed to happen to me!" Raven gasped, "I'm a Halfling! I'm supposed to be barren! Like a mule!"
"Raven?"

"I-I'm in heat, Beast Boy. I need you to leave."

There was a long pause, but Raven knew he was still there. She felt the shock rolling off of him in waves.

"You're in heat?"

"Yes, I'm in heat! And it's taking everything I have to keep this door closed! Please, I need you to leave!"

Comprehension now pierced the empathy, closely followed by a powerful lust that literally knocked Raven over.

"Ahghnmm!" Unintelligible noises spilled from her as she cinched around emptiness. She squeezed her thighs together as she gripped the door. She gasped for breath. "F-Fuuuck!" Her orgasm hit hard. She'd never experienced anything like it before. Her legs tried to flex, but they were bent and unable. That didn't stop her toes from curling and her abs from contracting as if she'd just been electrocuted. She saw stars and her heart pounded against her ribs.

"Beast Boy, please!" she cried, tears streaming down her face, "I'm an empath remember?! You're not helping!"

Now embarrassment permeated her senses as he realized what she meant. "I'm sorry, I just. I am male, you know? You tell me you want to jump me like that, what did you expect?"

"Just go!" Her sight was returning, and she was vaguely aware of the splintered metal in her hands and blood running down her arms.

"How long?"

"A week at most."

"Okay."

And with that, he left.
