Raven felt the water swirl around her.

It was still, and calm unlike the dark storm above the surface.

She stayed suspended in the water.

Demon life.

That was the fuel for the spell.

They would come back, they had to.

She did everything right.

Hadn't she?

She should be dead, shouldn't she?

=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-

When he saw the cloaked figure hit the water his heart shattered.

Is mouth slowly closed, he swallowed hard.

He was the first to break the silence

"Someone please tell me I didn't just see what I think I did."

He didn't give anyone a chance to respond before he was out the door

It couldn't be her could it?

He had just passed her in the hallway hadn't he?

Beast boy stopped and almost turned to run after her, but his instincts were telling him other wise.

He continued toward the bay, even if it wasn't her, someone was hurt.

Someone needed him.

=-=-=-=-=-

Raven tried to find her way to the surface.

She clawed and kicked violently at the water around her.

She was always a fighter.

Always.

What oxygen supply she had was slowly being depleted.

Up and down turned into right and left.

Had she fallen in head or feet first?

She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

Precious air escaped her lips.

She grasped her left side.

'Help'

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The second the door opened he was greeted by strong winds. Flying would prove to be difficult.

'Be faster swimming' he quickly morphed into a shark. Predatory senses able to sense any movement, Strong fins would keep up with the strong currents.

He swam through the icy water at top speeds. Nothing. Small fish trying to take shelter from his monstrous form, nerves pulsating attractive electricity.

He was getting ready to turn back and double the bay over.

Someone, at least something had crashed into the bay.

Kick.

He sensed something

Clench.

Reach.

It had to be close.

Shake.

And then he saw her.

Still

The electric flow silent

He hesitated for a moment

Her hair floated just to the above the right side of her head.

She was so still.

Her uniform torn in multiple places.

Burned in multiple places.

She was so close to the surface, almost there, a matter of feet.

He morphed back into his human form and pushed her to the surface.

The waves clamed, he held her head above the water.

'Raven?'

no response.

'RAVEN."

Beast boy began shaking her gently.

"come on Rae, wake up"

He had to get her back to shore. He quickly changed into a dolphin, towing urgently. When he beached himself, Beast boy reverted to his human form. The drenched changeling traced over her face.

"Come on Rae, breathe." She remained unmoving, he opened her mouth, to perform CPR.

He hesitated before pressing his lips to her blue ones giving her the kiss of life.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

She felt warmth as opposed to the icy water.

It was different than the burning in her lungs.

Her insides became twisted, her abdomen rejecting whatever was being given to her.

She coughed hard.

Liquid poured out of her.

Fresh air replaced the putrid bay water.

Raven drug her eyelids back to see a green blur.

Her name was called.

"who?"

Again.

"Beast boy ?"

The young girls vision began to clear. His features sharpened into relief. She didn't have time to respond before he crushed her against him.

When she was released, she felt the same pain in her stomach region but with more intensity. She drew her self onto one knee and threw up heavy black liquid.

The pain was gone, but a sense of wrongness enveloped her.

"Raven!" she heard Beast boy yell, bringing her back to reality.

Wait, beast boy was back.

"Where is every one else?'

He answered hesitantly, "In the tower."

They were all back.

It worked. That's all she needed to know. She looked up at Beast boy and smiled, water splashing onto her face.

"You're back"

darkness.
