XxXxXxXxXx
It was a stormy summer night in Jump City, California. The Teen Titans were all gathered up together in the living room for a night of horror movies. It was Raven's pick for the evening and so they were in one giant mass on the couch watching Wicked Scary. Raven was the only one not quivering with fear but merely stared up at the widescreen watching.
After the movie was over everyone was still wide awake and decided to break out the board games. Everyone but Raven sat around the table in the kitchen setting up Monopoly. Raven merely rested on the couch, curled up with a book to read. To her utter dislike, though, she was disrupted by the green changeling of the team. Beast Boy wandered over and grinned playfully.
"Hey, Raven. We're about to play Monopoly! Do you want to be the bag of money or the boat?" He put that pleading smile on his face. Raven looked up from her book and raised a brow to the smile.
"I want to be…" she started, watching Beast Boy grow with anticipation for her reply. "…nothing." she finished. "I would rather read than play some stupid board game." She spoke in that same monotonous voice, violet eyes going back to the sentence she left off on.
Beast Boy's smile fell and he stood up right. "Come on Raven! You hardly do anything with us. Yeah, you came and watched a movie with us of your selection but you never actually do anything like playing games. Hang out with us like a normal person and stop reading your nasty old books! It's creepy how you're always sitting up in your room talking to no one and just locking yourself away!"
Raven frowned as he said this. She drew up her hood and shut her book as she stood up. She gave Beast Boy one last look revealing glossy eyes to him before turning and going up to her room where the slam of her door could be heard downstairs. She plopped herself down onto her bed and the book left her hand and floated to its place on the shelf. "I'm not creepy, just different. Why can't he see that? I wish I could find someone who can see through my dark, sarcastic exterior and comprehend the fact that I can't show emotion or any sort of joy."
While Raven sat up in her room to cope with her emotions, the other Titans were gathered in the living room and glared at Beast Boy. "What did I say?" Beast Boy asked nervously, finding nothing he said really wrong or remotely hurtful towards Raven.
Robin sighed a little and looked at him. "You know what you said, Beast Boy. I think you should go apologize to Raven. You really hurt her feelings…" he sat down on the edge of the couch, masked eyes still on the green changeling.
"But she'll kill me!" Beast Boy squeaked. He didn't want to go upstairs and talk to Raven. He just wanted to get on with the evening he and the other Titans had planned. But as the angry looks grew even more dangerous he sighed. "Okay, okay! I'll go apologize…." he turned and wandered upstairs. When he arrived to her room he knocked on her door gently.
"Whoever is there just go away. I want to be alone." she spoke up loud enough for the person on the other side to hear. Beast Boy took in a deep breath and started to speak. "Raven, it's me. I…" but before he could even utter an apology she snapped, interrupting him.
"Go away! I don't want to talk to you especially!" she fell silent in hopes that he would be smart enough to back off and go away.
"Please just hear me out, Rae!" he begged but no reply came nor any indication that the door was going to open. He sighed and turned away from the door. "Fine…" he said dejectedly and went downstairs back to the other Titans. The others were all rested on the couch watching TV until they heard him come downstairs. They turned on the spot to face him and the beautiful Tameranian, Starfire, spoke up first.
"I wish to know if Friend Raven is all right…" she said in concern. Cyborg and Robin nodded in agreement, their eyes locked on Beast Boy.
"Is she okay, Beast Boy?" they spoke in unison. Beast Boy sighed and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"She's very upset with me. Upset enough that she doesn't want to talk to me. I don't blame her…" he looked off to the side. "I've been on her case all week, trying to get her to interact with us and everything. I guess I went over the edge and just ended up hurting her…"
"Yeah, you did end up hurting her, BB." Cyborg spoke up. "You need to go up and try again. Go make sure she's okay. Raven doesn't seem like the kind of girl who handles depression well. We don't need to lose our teammate." he warned.
Beast Boy ran up stairs and jogged to Raven's room, new concern ignited in him like a fire. He didn't see Raven when he turned the corner and slammed right into her. They both fell to the floor with a loud thud.
"I'm so sorry, Raven! I need to watch where I'm going!" he scrambled to his feet and helped her up. Raven sighed, brushing herself off and placing a bookmark in the book she had been reading. "I'm also sorry about what I said. I was completely out of line! I was just so disappointed that…"
"It's okay, Beast Boy." Raven said quietly but he was still rambling on. '…that you wouldn't spend time with us and I've been trying so hard to get you to be more social that I…'
"Beast Boy! It's okay!" She said sternly and sighed. "You don't need to explain. I understand fully what your ambitions were." She went to pass him but was stopped as he stepped in her path. She had a renewed irritated look on her face. "Let me pass, Beast Boy. I want to go fix myself some tea so I can get back to my room."
Beast Boy sighed a little but moved aside. "I was actually hoping you'd stay downstairs with me and the others…" he shrugged a little bit. "But I guess I won't try and convince you otherwise…enjoy your book and your tea…." he went downstairs and was followed by Raven who quickly retreated to the kitchen.
A few months had passed by and the seasons had begun to change. That hot, summer eve was now a cool, foggy October. Halloween was only a week away and things were running smoothly throughout the tower. Doctor Light was causing some problems with the Titans but was easily taken down. The same fate came to Cinderblock and Mad Mod. As the hours ticked by on that October day a sudden scream from Raven interrupted the peace that had settled throughout the tower.
"Where's my mirror!" she shouted, light bulbs shattered in the massive wave of fear and anger that flood the tower. The Titans trembled downstairs at the obvious anger but only Beast Boy stood and went upstairs to consult the angry goth. He knocked on her door and she let him in to speak with her.
"I…" he began and shuddered once he felt Raven's eyes on him. "I went into your room and found an old, antique mirror lying on your dresser. All I did was look in it but then a weird vortex thing grabbed me and pulled me inside…" He looked at Raven, frowning. "When I came out it…" he was now having trouble with getting the words out. "…of it…" he tried to correct himself. He pulled out a white towel and set it on her bed and opened it. Resting on the cloth was a broken mirror.
Raven growled, glaring angrily at Beast Boy. There was more than anger in her eyes. There was fear, much fear. "You idiot!" she spat. "You set free my father! I've told you all to stay out of my room! It is not a playground!" she couldn't help but sound panicked.
"I'm sorry, Raven. I didn't-" he began but stopped speaking when Raven's anger subsided rapidly and was replaced with a blank stare. Soundlessly she fell backwards as if petrified. Before her body hit the floor Beast Boy caught her and she went limp in his arms, eyes closed and face paler than normal.
Beast Boy's eyes widened as he gently rested Raven on the floor. "Raven, no! Don't die on me! I'm sorry!" he yelled, shaking her gently hoping to get some sort of reaction from the almost lifeless body on the floor. "Raven!!!" he was fighting tears. Robin and the others were now in the doorway staring at the scene before them, eyes wide and concern growing.
"Beast Boy, what happened?!" Robin asked as he went over in aid to the changeling. He checked for Raven's pulse while Cyborg dashed off to prepare the infirmary for their fellow Titan. Starfire was weeping silently.
"Will Friend Raven be okay, Robin?" she asked as her green eyes went to the Boy Wonder.
Beast Boy picked Raven up in his arms while Robin spoke. "I hope so…let's get her to the infirmary and fast." he dashed out the door. Starfire followed quickly in levitation, hovering only a few inches from the ground. Beast Boy ran out as well, carrying Raven protectively as he did. Once in the infirmary, Raven was rested on the bed where she hovered two inches from the surface. Her eyes were closed and body relaxed while in the air. Robin and Cyborg hooked her up to the medical machinery around them to help monitor how she was doing.
"What happened, Beast Boy? How did Friend Raven get like this?" Starfire inquired with much concern as she rested in one of the chairs that were set up in the room. Beast Boy also rested in a chair closer to Raven's bed.
"Well…" he began. "I accidentally released her father I guess when I broke her hand mirror. My guess is she's fighting him right now inside her mind, trying to lock him away again. I keep hurting her…maybe I should just stay away from her…" he looked down.
Cyborg rested his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. "No, just be more careful about what you do and how you do it. Don't neglect her." he pulled his hand away and walked out and to the garage to work on the T-Car.
Robin and Starfire nodded in agreement to what Cyborg said and stood. "We're going to let you have time alone with her…" Robin spoke up and walked out with Starfire in tow. Once they were all gone Beast Boy sighed and looked at Raven's limp body.
"Please survive and come back to me…" he stood up and leaned over her, kissing her lips lightly. The kiss didn't last long but when he did pull away he held a faint blush on his cheeks. He turned into a kitten and curled up next to Raven and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

Raven panted gently, she was cut up and nearly beaten from the strength of her demonic father. She remained crouched beneath a large rock and prayed he wouldn't find her. Suddenly a large, red hand with black claws reached down and grabbed for her but she was quickly able to evade in time. She rolled through the gravel and stood, taking off running across the barren surface. "What do you want from me, father!" She spoke frantically as she rounded a patch of rocks. She was growing fatigued and collapsed to the ground and panted harder while grasping her side. She was worn down to the bone, unable to draw up any strength to run anymore.
"Join me, Raven. Join me in the destruction of the world…" he sneered and walked towards her. Reaching down he picked up Raven and brought her struggling form up to his face. Six yellow eyes stared at her menacingly. "Or else…" he chuckled evilly.
"Ugn…mn…" she grunted as she tried to squeeze out of his hand but knew there was no escaping. "Never! I'll never join you!"
"Then I'll have to kill you…" He hurled Raven towards the ground. She fell like a rag doll, limp and lifeless. Suddenly she started to glow a bright white and as she hit the ground an explosion of rock and dirt spewed everywhere and Trigon sneered.
"You should have joined me, Raven. We could have created a new world together." He spoke menacingly.
"I'll never join you…." the dust had settled and Raven stood there, unharmed and recuperated. Her blue robes had changed to white, a pure and lovely color. She levitated up into the air keeping out of her father's reach. "Now it's my turn..." she smirked. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" she threw a ball of white energy at her father followed by a stream of the same mass. Trigon was overcome with shock that Raven was alive that he didn't block or even dodge the ball of energy and was nailed in the head by it. The blow was so tremendous it knocked him off balance and he fell causing the barren earth to quake. Trigon's form then began to shrink and become nothing more than another Raven, a red robed Raven with four red eyes.
Raven allowed herself to touch the barren earth once more and the Rage, the Red Robed Raven, merged into her and disappeared. Raven sighed and looked around quietly before closing her eyes. She got into meditative stance and concentrated. Slowly her eyes opened and she looked around the room.
***
Feeling something beside her she sat up and looked down to see a green kitten curled up at her side. She couldn't help but smile and move to gently stroke the silky fur of the changeling.
Beast Boy opened his eyes and looked up to see Raven was awake. "Mew!" He said excitedly in cat tongue before quickly changing back. "Raven!" he exclaimed and hugged Raven gently. "I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried I was going to lose you!" he grinned.
Raven couldn't help but hug him back and as he spoke her brow raised. "Oh? Why?" she asked in a teasing sort of tone which was rather unusual for Raven. Beast Boy pulled away as she asked this, blushing furiously.
"I…well…I…" he was about to speak when the others came in. Raven was suddenly trapped in one of Starfire's lung-crushing bear hugs.
"Friend Raven, you're okay!" She said happily as she pulled away. Robin and Cyborg watched quietly, chuckling a little bit.
"Good to see you're okay, Raven." Robin said as he walked over to shut off the machinery. Cyborg helped.
"You had us all worried, especially BB here. He didn't leave your side for the entire three days you were out." spoke Cyborg in a relieved tone.
"I was out for three days?" she asked with a little surprise. "That battle didn't seem like it took very long…" she sighed a little. "Oh well. I'm just glad that I defeated my father and had him locked away again." she sighed and looked at Beast Boy who was fidgeting a little bit.
"I'm going to go meditate…" Raven got up and stretched a little bit to help the stiffness before going up to her room. Beast Boy watched her leave before walking out with her. Rather than go upstairs he plopped down on the couch and played videogames.
After a couple of hours had passed everyone was retiring to bed. The clocks chimed midnight causing Beast Boy to snap out of his game and save his data. "I hope Raven's still up…I need to get this off my chest…" he sighed and shut off the game system and went upstairs.
He walked down the hall and rounded the corner only to end up in front of Raven's Room. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock but the door was opened suddenly and Raven stood there.
"Can I help you, Beast Boy?" she asked with a raised brow. Beast Boy was a little surprised and was rather caught off guard. His fist opened to a wave before he let it drop to his side.
"Um…I was hoping I could talk to you, Raven." he looked nervous and started to fidget again.
Raven stepped aside from her door to allow him inside; violet eyes watched Beast Boy hesitate before squeezing past Raven. "I didn't think you'd allow me in your room again after what happened." He couldn't help but chuckle a little. Raven smiled and moved over to her bed and sat down upon it.
"I have to be forgiving sometimes, don't I?" she asked. "Besides, I fixed the mirror." she gestured to the hand mirror that rested on the dresser as if it had never been moved nor broken. "Now, I know there's something you're dying to tell me. What is it?" she leaned back against her head board, back against her pillows.
Beast Boy hesitated once more before wandering over to Raven and rested on the bed next to her. He leaned close and kissed her passionately on the lips, hand moving to rest against her cheek tenderly as he did. Raven melted. She couldn't believe this was happening but she was glad it was and gently pulled Beast Boy down on top of her as she deepened the kiss. Beast Boy moaned lightly and broke the kiss. "I love you, Rae. I always have." he smiled.
Raven smiled back, moving a pale hand up to caress his cheek. "I love you too, Beast Boy. I just didn't know how to tell you." she kissed him deeply again and blushed lightly as he felt his hands roaming along her sides. She reached her hands up to undo the clasp on her coat and let it slip off and then undid her belt leaving her in nothing but that leotard. Beast Boy watched her start to undress and was caught off guard. He couldn't help but watch. Suddenly he found himself kissing along her neck causing Raven to moan a little more. Gently he sucked on a small area of flesh leaving a light hickey when he pulled away and kissed up along her jaw and then to her lips once more.
Raven smiled and reached her hand down and gently grasped Beast Boy's crotch, rubbing her hand along the growing bulge in his outfit. Beast Boy shuddered but smiled, enjoying the feeling. Suddenly, though, he found himself resting on his back with Raven on top of him. She pulled off his shirt and then pulled down his pants and boxers leaving him naked in her bed. She blushed as she let violet eyes run across his muscular body. "Damn, Beast Boy…" she blushed.
Beast Boy was blushing furiously as he was undressed and couldn't help but reach down and stroke his eight inch member. "I…um…like what you see?" Was all he could think of asking the dark beauty before him. Raven nodded gently, blushing herself. She pulled off her leotard leaving her pale but beautiful body. She had a slender but strong body with D cup breasts and perfect hips. She moved down and grasped his member for him and began rubbing it gently.
"I've never done this before…" Raven admitted quietly, looking up at Beast Boy. "I'm a little nervous." she blushed a light red but Beast Boy nodded.
"I've never done this either. If you're not ready for this you don't have to do it. I mean we were caught up in the romance." he admitted. "I mean, I'm ready but I don't want you to—mnn…" he shut up and groaned as he felt Raven's mouth slip around the head of his member. Raven gently bobbed her head along his length taking about four inches in. She sucked on it gently and allowed her tongue to caress his shaft while she rubbed what she couldn't fit with her hand. Beast Boy groaned more and managed to hold himself up by his elbows to watch her work.
After a few minutes, Raven pulled her mouth away, a light pop was made when Beast Boy's member left her soft lips. Beast Boy sat up and gently got her onto her back before moving down and spreading her legs open gently. He couldn't believe this was really happening! Gently he dipped his head and allowed his tongue to slip between her folds and caress her clit. His hands moved to spread open her pussy while he worked to tease and play with his tongue, a finger slipping inside to gently pump in and out just to make sure she was wet enough for his member. Raven moaned lightly and rubbed her breasts as he worked, squirming gently on the bed as she neared her very first orgasm.
Beast Boy pulled up and looked at Raven, moving up to kiss her gently. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked again, reaching down to rub his member against her pussy. Raven blushed darkly but nodded gently. She leaned up and kissed him again.
"Be gentle…" she requested as Beast Boy started to slowly push inside of her. She winced a little and buried her face into Beast Boy's neck while holding him. Suddenly Beast Boy slammed into her, breaking her hymen and imbedding his entire member inside of her. She gasped and yelped in pain, biting her lip gently and holding him tighter. Beast Boy didn't move, allowing her to get used to his length.
"Let me know when you're ready…" he said gently.
Raven nodded gently and relaxed, looking up at Beast Boy. "I'm ready…" she blushed gently and began to moan as he started to thrust in and out of her slowly at first. "mmn…I never thought this would happen…" she admitted, back arching a little as he sped up slowly. Beast Boy leaned down and kissed her neck lightly and down her chest. Coming upon one of her breasts he gently moved to kiss her nipple before taking it in his mouth and sucking on it while thrusting faster and harder. Raven moaned and arched her back more and came repeatedly, moaning and panting. Her pussy contracted around his member tightly causing him to groan. He switched to her other nipple and gave it the very same treatment, slowing his thrusts down gradually.
Raven dug her nails into the bedding as she came again. Just as her pussy contracted around Beast Boy he came as well and growled a little at the waves of pleasure. When their orgasms ended Beast Boy pulled out and looked apologetic to Raven. "I'm sorry, Rae. I didn't pull out in time…" he frowned and looked rather worried. Raven merely waved the apology off. She wasn't worried.
"I doubt anything will happen. Don't worry about it." she smiled a little bit and stood. "I'm going to take a shower…" she went into her personal bathroom and got in the tub. Beast Boy followed and slipped in behind her.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked with a chuckle. Raven smiled and kissed him gently and began to wash her hair and body.
***
Beast Boy had gone to his own room after their shower and Raven curled up alone in her bed. She couldn't help but fear the fact that he may have gotten her pregnant but her stubbornness said otherwise and forced the thoughts away. She thought for a while with her eyes closed, coming up with a plan for just in case she did become pregnant.
"I'll just go away to Azarath for a while. I'll have the baby there and talk Shadow into helping me raise it until the time is right to bring it home." She sighed. "I don't want Beast Boy to feel obligated to stay with me only because I'd be having his child. I want him to stay with me because he really does love me…" she yawned gently and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
A couple of months passed by and Raven began to show her pregnancy. It wasn't much but if she didn't keep herself covered up with her cloak someone would eventually notice the slight roundness. Not only that but she was beginning to eat more and she knew that if she stayed around someone would figure it out.
That afternoon when everyone was resting on the couch watching TV she came down, hood down revealing her silky purple hair. "I have an announcement everyone…" she said quietly. They all turned to look at her. "I'm going away for a while. My mother needs me so I'll be in Azarath. I'll be back as soon as I can…" she said quietly.
Beast Boy looked a little sad and walked over. "Aww but Raven…can't we all come with you? I mean there hasn't been any sort of trouble in the city and…" He was cut off by Raven's head moving from side to side.
"I'm sorry, Beast Boy. I have to go alone." she kissed him gently and for the first time in front of everyone. "Wait for me…" she said in a soft whisper in his ear and melted into the floor. A portal opened up in her wall and she stepped out of it. "Relax Raven. It's only for a year…" she told herself as she prepared herself to leave.
Raven came downstairs quietly with her bags in hand. She wanted to say her final farewells before she went away. She gave a sad Beast Boy one final kiss and faced Starfire with one of her spine crushing hugs but to her surprise Starfire had eased up. When Starfire's lips came close to her ear she whispered. "It's not because of the baby is it?" she said so quietly no one else heard. Raven hid the horror that built up inside of her but she sighed.
Robin and Cyborg had gone back to sitting on the couch and Beast Boy leaned against the back looking pitiful that Raven was leaving. This was the opportunity for Raven to respond to Starfire's comment. "Yes…" she whispered. "Don't tell him…I…I don't want this to ruin us…" she looked at Starfire who nodded.
"I will not speak of it…" Starfire whispered. "Farewell, Friend Raven. Take care of yourself!" she said louder and Raven nodded, disappearing through a portal which quickly sealed behind her.
