Raven was trying her hardest to meditate, but it wasn't working. She was just hoping that someone would actually believe what she was saying. She knew she hadn't killed that man; she would never do such a thing.
"Raven? Are you okay?" Raven almost fell off of her bed when she heard the soft knock at her door. She was relieved that it was only Beast Boy at first, but then remembered what they all thought of her.
"Raven, I know you're in there. I just want to talk to you." Beast Boy softly spoke. He didn't want to agitate her further; he did that enough already.
"Well, I just wanted to say, that I don't think you killed that villain." Raven actually fell off of her bed this time. He actually believed her, he didn't think lowly of her like everyone else.
"I know what it's like...to not know what you did...to be blamed for something you didn't do. When I lost control, I didn't remember a single second of it, and the same is with you. Cyborg thinks the fight you remember was just your subconscious, but I know it's not. I know that usually me and you don't really "relate", but I know how you feel right now. I...understand."
Raven wanted so bad to answer him, to tell him thank you for not doubting in her. For not betraying her trust.
"Raven, answer me. Don't feel ashamed, you didn't do anything. We are going to figure out what happened...me and you are going to figure this out." To see that she was listening to him would make him happier than anything, and his wish was granted.
Raven decided that she shouldn't just leave him hanging, so she got up from where she had fallen off of her bed and wobbled to the door.
"Thank you." Was all she could say. She gave him one of her infamous hugs, but this time, Beast Boy hugged her back. He wasn't entirely shocked this time. But he still had a small blush.
"Now, if you will, can we talk about exactly what you thought happened?" Beast Boy said in a happier tone. He was glad to know she was okay. All she needed right now was a friend, someone to put her once betrayed trust in.

"Is that everything? You don't remember anything else?"
"That's it, everything I told you is what happened." Raven and Beast Boy were sitting on the floor in her room in a lotus position. They had just gone over what Raven thought happened, and it was to real to be a dream.
She could feel every ounce of pain, every drop of sweat, all of the feelings. This could not have been her subconscious, it didn't add up. When things happen in your dreams, you may have the feelings, emotions or even start to sweat. But she had felt physical pain so there was no way it was a dream.
"Well this definitely wasn't a dream. Do you think this could have something to do with your powers?"
"I doubt it, they are working fine. What ever it is though, it must be supernatural" Raven reassured him She knew that this wasn't the work of a villain like Mumbo Jumbo, but it wasn't an illusion from Mad Mod either.
Just as they were about to think about possible reasons, Robin knocked on the door.
"Raven, I need to talk to you." This time his voice wasn't so cold, but there was still a hint of bitterness.
Raven didn't want to answer him; he was the last person she wanted to see. He had betrayed her trust the most.
"What do want." Raven quietly asked him. Her intention was to talk to him through the door; no one wants to see someone they're mad at.
"What do you think? We need to discuss your punishment, whether you go to jail or not."
"What do you mean? I have an option?" Raven asked him extremely curious. If she had an option to not go to jail, maybe she could convince him that she isn't guilty.
"No, not really. Unless you can prove that you didn't kill that villain by Tuesday, than you won't have to go. But today is Saturday so, I doubt you'll be able to prove anything."
"Well we're going to prove it!" Raven said standing up. She had a half determined half angry look on her face. She was determined that her and Beast Boy would prove she was innocent and an angry face because Robin had such little faith in them.
Beast Boy shared those same feelings and wanted badly to say something, but Raven had told him not to.
"What do mean we?" Robin questioned. He thought of Beast Boy but didn't think that he would be of much help to her.
"Beast Boy and I. We will find that proof and if you don't believe me, then oh well." Raven sharply retorted. She didn't appreciate this lack of faith. He should have at least been trying to find the pieces of the puzzle while her and Beast Boy put them together. He was being oddly...nonchalant about this whole predicament. Normally Robin would have been obsessing over finding answers, just like when he was obsessing over Slade.
Robin didn't say anything, so Raven and Beast figured he had left. They had decided not to discuss their plans with the rest of the team in fear of interference. If they were to know, they would try and use visible proof to rule out every theory they would come up with.
The next day would be one filled with lots of hard-work in order to find out what had actually happened.
