Chapter 1
Raven woke with a massive headache, someone was having a really bad nightmare. This was the third month after joining the Teen Titans, and the third night in a row where she found living with four others was not the best sleeping conditions. Part of Raven's powers allowed her to read emotions, but at night, particularly when sleep was involved, her powers increased.
Raven could sense all dreams. Be they good or bad, while one is awake or asleep, what feelings they brought and sometimes a rough idea of what the dream was. Nightmare, definite nightmare. Raven thought grimly rubbing her temples, trying to sooth her tired brain and headache. Again the same nightmare and its intensity is not decreasing. From what Raven could gather just by sitting on her bed the dreamer was dreaming about a past event, death, pain, loneliness, fear, and rejection.
I`ve extended my mind capacity to the limits! Whoever this person is I`m putting an end to this nonsense. For once this week I will receive peaceful, uninterrupted slumber. Moving quietly but with haste, Raven fastened her cloak around her, drew the hood, and exited her room. She headed right down the hall and into the rest of the living area.
Many of these rooms were unoccupied. Either they were currently being used for storage, or waiting for use by new member or guest. Raven`s room was the furthest from all of the other team members and she wished to keep it that way. As she walked silently down the halls emotions form the nightmare grew more vivid. She reached the four rooms containing the four other sleeping ocupanints of the team.
Yes they were all asleep. She would need to make at least two passes of all the rooms to see who was having the nightmare. The sensations were so strong now it would be hard to decipher the exact location. First Raven past Cyborg`s room, Beast Boy`s, Robin`s, Starfire`s, who was it? Again the dark figure made a pass. Closing her eyes she went to the source.
Raven opened her eyes and looked at the name plate identifying who`s room this was. Oh no! I do not want to go in there and help him of all people. He is annoying, a pest, and always cracking lame jokes. He is too happy, has no brain, and lives to make me suffer. NO. But no matter how much Raven hated the messy, stupid, green boy, if she wanted to sleep, she needed to help him. Out of all I hate him the most. They say I am evil, I have no feelings towards others, I can`t do a good thing but look what I am about to do.
Carefully she raised her hand and knocked on the large metal door. To explain this to him would be enough but if the others woke up. She did not feel the nightmare lift nor the boy stir. She knocked as loud as she would allow. Robin was a light sleeper, the lightest human sleeper she had met, that was saying something, she herself admired his control, but did not want to face him. She would not go into that pigs sty. ``Beast Boy! Wake up`` She whispered loudly. Nothing. No change.
Ugh! I cannot believe I am about to do this! She grumbled in her head. Just think of why. So you can sleep, focus, and lose this headache. Using her powers she stepped through the door. This is atrocious! How has he managed to create such a mess in such a short time? She asked herself. There was no need for lights Raven could see her target on the top bunk to the left of the room. Oh, gross, he is drooling too. Raven was ready to propel her mind to lift him and drop him on the floor. Suddenly she stopped. Beast Boy let out the saddest whimper and started to cry in his sleep.
There was a kinder way to do this. Raven levitated in lotus position up next to the sleeping figure. She summoned her powers and placed her hand on her forehead. Slowly she extracted herself from her body and carried her over to Beast Boy. She laid her hand on his forehead and seeped into his mind.
To Raven`s surprise she was excepted at alarming speed. No sooner had she entered Beast Boy unconsciously reached for her and pulled her in. She was like his lifeline. It must have been bad if he wanted her. The surroundings stilled and Raven looked around. She was in Beast Boy`s nightmare.
