Beast Boy had gotten no more than an hour of sleep when the crime alert screamed through the tower. He groaned as he raced out of his room and down the hall, the red siren lighting up the hall. He was about halfway to the living room when he ran into someone, causing Beast Boy to fall on top of them.

He raised himself up a little to see that it was Raven, facing up at him with a blush on her face. He himself felt his cheeks go red as he stared down into her beautiful eyes. He quickly snapped out of his trance and got up before helping the empath back to her feet before they both continued their journey.

"Who the hell is breaking the law at this hour?" Beast Boy asked annoyingly when they reached their teammates.

"Doctor Light is causing more havoc downtown." Robin said. "Probably thought we would be asleep. TITANS, GO!"

The sidewalk exploded sending specs of dust into the air. People rushed down the concrete screaming as Doctor Light shot his light cannon at different buildings.

"This oughta put light on the situation!" the villain laughed. Then he turned to see the Teen Titans in their stances.

"What are you doing up this late, Light?" Robin asked. "It was lights out two hours ago."

"I'd like to see you Titans try and defeat me." Doctor Light sneered. "I've got the ultimate weapon this time."

"We'll see about that." Beast Boy said as he turned into a rhino and began to charge at him. Doctor Light didn't react at all. He just aimed his cannon and shot at Beast Boy, who was blown backwards before landing on the ground and changing back into himself, groaning in pain.

Starfire was flying directly towards Light firing starbolts out of her eyes, causing the ground to blow up in front of him. But he quickly fired and managed to hit her in the chest, sending her to the ground.

"Starfire!" Robin cried, and ran to help his girlfriend.

Doctor Light laughed before he heard a whining noise behind him and turned to see Cyborg turning on his own cannon.

"Time for a taste of you're own medicine, Light." the robot said, smirking.

But his enemy didn't seem concerned. "Try me." He shot Cyborg.

The next thing Cyborg knew he was looking at his body lying on its back a few yards away.

"Dammit." he growled as he realized his head had been blown off(literally).

Raven suddenly raised above from the group and began to summon her mantra, but Doctor Light just grinned.

"See if you can face this, demon girl!" he yelled, before turning his cannon onto full blast and fired.

Before Raven could even finish on "zinthos", the light beam hit her. It was as if her world had exploded. She felt like her hair was on fire and her skin was quickly melting into a puddle. But she could only feel it. The wind whistled by her ears as she flew backwards. But she could only hear it. Then she landed on the pavement and the whole road split apart as she slid for what felt like forever until she stopped.

But she never saw anything. All she could see was blackness.

Beast Boy had seen the whole thing happen, and he reacted instantly.

"NO!" he screamed, and ran over. As he got closer, he realized that Raven wasn't moving at all and was just facing up to the sky. His fears slowly faded as his powerful hearing could make out her breathing.

When he reached the giant hole in the road, he saw Raven's eyes were wide open, and her beautiful amethyst eyes were now covered by a blanket of white.

"R-Raven?" he stuttered nervously. "Are you alright?"

"Who's there?" Raven asked, raising her hand into the air.

Beast Boy was puzzled. "It's me, Beast Boy. Don't you see me?"

"No," Raven said, "where are you?"

"I'm right in front of you."

Suddenly, Raven's face went from her beautiful shade of gray to white, and as Beast Boy looked into her now blank eyes, he remembered some of the animals in his parents' lab that could not see at all and had the same look in their eyes as Raven had.

Then he knew.

She was blind.

He picked her limp body up into his now muscular arms, her hands swinging side to side. He couldn't believe this was happening. Why her? Of all people in this world, why did it have to be her? Why wasn't he hit by the blast? It was all his fault. He had already failed to save his parents from that river, and now he wasn't able to save the love of his life. He began to sniff before tears ran down his face.

"Beast Boy?" said a voice.

He turned to see Robin, Starfire and Cyborg looming over him with concerned looks on their faces. They had all managed to capture Doctor Light after he had hit Raven. Beast Boy gulped before he was able to choke out:

"She's blind."

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

She felt her eyes slowly open to blackness.

"Raven?" Beast Boy said. "How do you feel?"

"Where are you this time?" she asked.

He took a hard swallow before he felt his stomach turn into ice. "I'm sitting next to you."

Raven lifted her arm again, trying to touch him. He grabbed her cool hand and held it tightly. She felt that he had removed his gloves, revealing to her how warm he was. The warmth spread throughout her body and it slowly calmed her down. Then she felt her eyelids close again and she drifted off.

Besides Beast Boy, Robin was the only one who was not in his bedroom. Starfire had cried herself to sleep and Cyborg was in his room, moping about his "sister".

"How's she doing?" Robin asked when he walked in.

"She woke up just half an hour ago," Beast Boy informed him, "but she fell back asleep." Then he turned to Robin when he remembered that he forgot to ask him something. "Will she be able to heal herself?"

Robin suddenly froze. While he had his mask on, Beast Boy could still notice the worry he was in.

"I don't think so." he said, bowing his head. "If she were able to, she would already be in her trance by now. But this isn't an injury, Beast Boy, it's a disability. She'll probably be blind forever." And with that, he sulked out of the room.

Beast Boy looked back at the half-demon laying in the bed. She had to see again. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if she could never see colors for the rest of her life. No, he would prove them all wrong. Raven will see the light again someday, and he would help her.

"Not on my watch," he vowed. Taking one last look at her, he left to get some sleep.
