Raven quietly walked into the common room with her Ipod in hand. Since Robin and Star were out, Cyborg in Steele City, and Beast Boy off wherever, she decided to go into the common room and listen to music while looking out the window at the sunset.
She hooked it up the speakers and sat down on the couch with a blanket around her. The first song that played was "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick. Just then Beast Boy walks in to ask Raven if she would like to hang out, but stops and listens.
She never slows down
She doesn't know why but when she's all alone, it feels like it's all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
Raven starts thinking about all the times in her life, the good, and the bad. She remembers the time when Trigon came. She remembers when Beast Boy gave her that penny, he told her it was for luck, she held that penny till the end, she even went back for it and made it into a necklace.
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She remembers all her pain, and how the team always tried to help. She notices that Beast Boy was there the most, always trying to get her to open up.
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.
Beast Boy notices that Raven starts to mumble things. He hears he wishing she could feel without anything happening. She knows the only way to have control is through love, but she doesn't think anybody would ever love her.
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
Beast Boy decides to sing with the last part of the song.
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
Raven hears someone else sing and turns around to see who. When she sees that it's Beast Boy she's surprised. Slowly they walk towards each other. When Beast Boy finishes, he hugs Raven. At first she was tense, but she slowly melted into the hug and hugged him back.
"Y'know Raven, that song fits you, you are the most strong, brave, intelligent and beautiful person I have ever met." He said.
"You think I'm beautiful?" she asks.
"Yes, those words not only represent who you are, but they are also the reasons why I love." he replied
She slowly looks up to look into his eyes, "Do you really mean that?" She asks.
"yes,"
"Beast Boy?"
"Yeah,"
"I love you too."
Quietly they stood there not wanting to break the silence, but eventually every moment has to end.
"Hey Raven how about we go finish watching that sunset together?" BB asks
"That would be nice."
Beast Boy puts his arms around Raven, and they quietly watch the sunset while listening to Ravens iPod. Eventually they both fall asleep wrapped in each others arms.
