Hey guys, most of you probably do care but it's BBRAE week from the 15 to the 21. I'm going to try and participate in this so 7 chapters of a team titans fic in 7 days.
The sun be gain to set over the sea, it had been weeks since they had fight any enemy. Crime was slow the last enemy they fought was control freak and b early put up a fight. Robin was on edge, he thought that just because there was no bad guys out that something really bad was building up. Cyborg and beast boy didn't seem to notice anything too bad. Then again they were mostly just sitting around playing video games. Starfire was concerned about Robins attitude, he never really left the training room, and Raven, well Raven was having some trouble of her own. With the lack of bad guys she was in need of a place to let out some of her power so it wouldn't build up too much.
So she did the one thing she knew would help. She meditated. But even chanting, levitating, and putting everything she could into focusing, her mind still wondered she couldn't seem to focus her mind just didn't want her to focus. Fine if you're not going to let me meditate on my own I'll make you.
She could feel the pressure building in her head as she reached for her mind mirror. She put it in front of her and got lost on the reflection, literally. There was a loud crack as the mirror crashed down onto her desk.
It seemed to resonate through the halls of the tower. But beast boy was the only one to hear it. He was taking a break from the games to get a drink when he heard it. He looked to Cyborg but he made movements that indicated he had heard it over the game they were playing. So he shrugged and went to investigate what happened.
He went to the closest room, Robins of course he wasn't there so he didn't do it. Next up stars room. He knocked on her door. After a second of waiting the door opened and Starfire looked down at him. "Is there something I can help you with beast boy?"
"Ya, did you hear that loud crack?"
"No." She gave him a quizzical look.
"OK... I'll be going now." He walked away from her room to the last person who it could have been, Raven. He knocked on the door.
No one came to it. Strange she rarely leaves her room when she's in the tower. Did she go somewhere? He shrugged and went back to stars room. He knocked again. She opened the door again "Beast boy what is the matter now?"
"Did you see Raven leave?"
"No."
"OK... I'll be going. Again." He was so confused. So he did the one thing Raven told him to never do: go into her room.
The door hissed open and he stepped into the darkness. He looked around, the room was only barely lit by a few burning candles and incense. He looked to her desk and found two things: an unlabeled notebook, and her mirror. The one that he and cyborg went into.
He thought back to that moment, it felt so long ago. He remembered the copies of Raven and her father causing all sorts of trouble. Well I'm already this deep might as well go all the way. So he looked into the mirror.
His mind went blank for a second before he appeared on a stone bridge, just like before and with quick look around he morphed into bird and flew the same way he walked. As he flew he looked around. Same terrain, same creepy atmosphere, there were even still crows sitting on the dead tree. But there was a large lack of Ravens. Not one color was of her was anywhere to be found.
He kept flying through and finding nothing, Till he made it to the portal. A collection of what must have been her entire emotional spectrum had gathered just outside the portal. They were circled around something, then he heard it. "EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!" It was Ravens voice, but then again shes the only other person here. A Raven, clad in purple, floated from the middle of the circle. Her eyes black, her hands glowing with black energy.
Beast Boy landed on a branch of a dead tree near the outskirts of the circle. A little close, but it will have to do. He watched on as floating Raven stared down at her copies. Then two Ravens, one in pink and one in yellow, floated to either side of her. They were saying thing Beast Boy couldn't hear. Then the pink one looked away from Raven, and directly at Beast Boy. Her face changed from the solemn look it had to one of pure joy. She jerked the purple Ravens head up, and she caught the same sight, a green bird perched on a tree.
Beast Boy tried to flap into the air, but was stopped when the tree was taken from under him, and flown straight to the center of the group. He morphed back into a human and rubbed the back of his neck while giving her a sheepish grin. "So i take it that your Raven."
He heard some laughter from the crowd, both yellow and pink included, Pink said, "Oh i love it when he does that."
Ravens face reddened a bit, before she clasped a hand on both their shoulders. They disappeared in a flash of light, along with all the others. When the light faded Raven was dressed in white.
"BB you do realize i will kill you?" Her voice was monotone, but the threat was in there. "What did you see?"
He took a deep breath, "I got here when you shouted 'everyone needs to came down'."
"Maybe i don't have to kill you, right now." She paused for a second. "I can't believe i'm saying this, can you help me with something?"
Beast Boy gave her a strange look, "you know you can ask me anything."
She took a deep breath, "how do you feel about… Terra?" Her voice was shaky, and 'Terra' seemed to fall out of her mouth all too fast.
"Tera…" He felt something inside him, like pain but not quite it.
"Ya, Terra." Now her voice was flat, but he could tell she was annoyed.
"There's nothing to talk about. Everyone knew my feeling about her before. Now she's worse than dead." His head dropped into his hands.
"What do you mean?" She sounded concerned, her emotions were always battling for dominance, here it was even more of a struggle.
"I don't want to talk about this. EVER." The feeling in his chest deepened, like there should be something that could stop it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."
He stayed silent, didn't even lift his head to acknowledge that she had said anything.
"Can you handle one more question?"
"Depends on the question."
"OK, feel free to not answer, how do you feel about… me." Her voice was barely a whisper.
He said nothing again, but what he did do was morph into a hummingbird and flew straight for the portal.
I know i'm a day late but that means i can go a day later. i'll see you tomorrow for the next chapter. ALSO I'm not done with Alpha Problems, i'm just don't really feel inspired to write that write now.
