The End, Again


Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans


This is my first fanfic. Its of Raven and Beast Boy. Its an idea I have had for a while now and I'm excited for people to finally see it. I really hope you like it because I have loved writing it. I'm open for positive criticism, but please be respectful! Thanks!


The Tower was quiet since it was nearing two a.m. in the morning. Only two of the inhabitants of the tower were still awake. Raven and Beast Boy sat next to each other in awkward silence. They had finally crossed from the teen years into early adulthood. Raven, who had just recently not celebrated her nineteenth birthday, was sitting on the couch with her knees pulled tightly up to her chest. Her face was painstakingly blank and showed no traces of the previous terror from her nightmare. Beast Boy, who had turned eighteen a while back, sat with his head bowed down over his knees. Taking a deep breath, Beast Boy lifted his head and stared ahead of him with a pained look on his face.

"I've tried, Raven," he mumbled to the dark empath. "Our whole friendship I have tried to cheer you up. I made jokes, but you never laughed. In fact, my efforts only made you hate me," he finished and stood up. Beast Boy knew that he was in love with his purple haired teammate, but it didn't seem to make any difference. "I tried, but now I'm giving up Raven. I don't want you to hate me anymore, so you get your way. I'll leave you alone from now on," he declared and attempted to walk away, but something stopped him. Looking back he saw that Raven had grabbed his hand.

The composure that had been plain on her face had completely vanished. Tears were in her beautiful violet eyes and clung to her long ebony lashes before streaming down her face. Beast Boy moved a step forward his heart aching at the site of her, but he stopped when he realized she was trying to say something.

"I don't hate you. Please, Garfield, don't give up on me," she sobbed. Beast Boy hated his true name, but he couldn't help but like it when she said it. Beast Boy sat back down next to her and pulled Raven onto his lap. She immediately buried her head into his shoulder and struggled to keep her sobbing under control, but all she managed to do was soak his uniform with tears and tremble violently. Beast Boy kissed the top of her head and smelled the faint sent of her lavender shampoo.

"I promise to never give up on you again, Raven. No matter what, I'll always be here even if you don't want me," he said as he gently rocked her in his arms. A mumble emitted from his chest and Beast Boy craned his head to hear her better. "What did you say?"

Raven lifted her head slowly as if it was incredibly heavy. "I want you with me. I . . . I just don't know how to control myself with you," she explained. Beast Boy smiled from the inside out. Of all the things he had come up with as to why she pushed him away the fact that she actually returned his feelings had never crossed his mind.

"So you do like me? I knew it, I'm irresistible," he said in an overly dramatic voice to lighten the mood. It seemed to work because Raven had finally stopped crying. He was not used to seeing her this way . . . so fragile. "Raven . . . tell me your dream," he said. It was more of a request then a demand. Raven must have heard it in his voice because she actually answered.

"I dreamed that my father came back," Raven whispered. Beast Boy stiffened at the thought of Trigon.

"But Raven, we defeated him," was Beast Boy's eventual response.

"Yeah . . . I hope so," Raven said as she snuggled close into Beast Boy from the sudden cold. A few minutes passed in silence. Beast Boy couldn't believe what he had just heard. Looking down he realized that Raven was actually asleep.

Raven was running and running down the streets of Jump city. Her hair was long just like the last time she had nearly ended the world. She wore a white silk dress that had splattered blood on it here and there. It exposed most of her shoulders and went all the way down to her ankles. Her hands and feet were bound by medical gauze, but blood was starting to seep through. Everyone on the street was frozen in place just like last time and the sky was red as blood. Despite the fact that it was the end of the world Raven felt calm.

She could hear her name being screamed just behind her, but she couldn't stop or slow down. Her teammates would keep her from finishing her task, and that she could not allow. Raven ran faster and ignored the pain caused with each step she took. She was almost there . . . she could see the large pure white marble of city hall.

Gasping for air, Raven woke up from her sleep her body covered in sweat. She looked around wildly and recognized that she was in her room, but how could that be? The last thing she remembered was talking to Beast Boy. Then her memory from the previous night came back and she flushed crimson. He knew . . . and he wanted her back. Raven had felt that emotion coming off him strongly. Sighing, Raven got out of bed. She had a lot to answer to this morning because she knew Garfield would not let last night go by with out a comment.


So, what do you think? Please go and review.
