Raven sat on top of the tallest building in the city watching the sun as it sets, she had been there for a couple of hours now, occasionally meditating when she felt her rage start to rise. But right now she felt at peace just watching the sun go down.
She felt a presence behind her but she did not move, not evening given the person a quick glances "what do you want Beast Boy?", Raven continued to look forward.
"Nothing, I was just wanting to see if your okay", he sat next to her, enjoying the view with her "after all it not like you to stay out for this long, angry or not", he looked at her as the setting sun rays hit her face, his mouth couldn't help but drop as the sun reflect on her beauty.
"Do you really care or are you doing it because you want to keep an eye on me?", Beast Boy looked away from her "how long have you and the other thought about me as being just a demon?."
"What that not what we think", he turned to her almost shouting at her, "look, nobody thinks your just a demon, I shouldn't of said anything I didn't mean it", he sighed "I was just worried after all Raven your one of the strongest people I know, I just didn't expect someone to defeat you", she looked at him not knowing what else to say about that.
"Do you really trust me?", he nodded "Isn't that just a lie?, after all I'm dangerous on my own", she closed her eyes facing the city "Beast Boy do you know what feels like when you know that the people that are supposed to be your friends don't trust you alone because your power can go out of control when ever your emotions get in the way", Beast boy looked down. "I don't feel like I'm even part human anymore."
"No I don't", but that doesn't mean we don't trust you". He took her hand in his "We're just scared when you get hurt", Raven looked back at him "Raven, your more normal than you think."
"Truth is Beast Boy I will never be able to be human, I have to struggle to keep my power under control. I can't feel emotions, I can't be like you or the other, I can't feel happiness, I can't get sad what kind of life is that to be shut off from emotion, afraid to feel the slightest thing how is that normal?"
"That's why your more human than you think", she looked at him confused as he smiled at her "its normal to be afraid of emotions, after all emotions can make us suffer in pain more than actual wounds can, look at it this way love is the strongest emotion in world some people hide from it because of how powerful a control it can have on them and when that is taking away from them they don't know what to do with themselves, they feel weak, defensive. It so painful when that's gone because it will always feel like it can't be replaced. So in some way you are normal", Raven couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks Beast Boy", her voice was soft, they stayed quiet for a while enjoying a comfortable silence, well until the alarm went off causing them to jump.
They opened there communicators to see the boy wonder staring at them "hey guys, it seem like Plasmus is at it again, I'll send you the direction to the location point, see you there", it didn't seem that Robin knew they where with each other.
"Well, looks like we need to go", Beast Boy offered a hand to her but see looked away from him ignoring it. "What wrong?", Beast Boy had concern in his voice.
"Nothing, I just feel like I need to sit out on this one my emotions aren't under control yet and I can't risk it", she avoided his eyes as he continued to stare at her.
"Well if that what you believe but I think you would have no problem in handle this one after all I trust you", he smiled down at her "but if you feel that way no point in trying to change your mind, but if you change your mind you know where to find us", with that Beast boy turned into a bird flying to the scene, while Raven watched him.
"That was just touching", Raven snapped out of her daze, her eyes became sharp as she recognised the voice. "I'm not surprised to see you're healed already", he looked at her amused.
"Slade", spinning around to face him "why have you even bothered to show your face again?", Slade laughed at her.
"Have forgotten our wee talk already", he stepped closer to her, but she refused to move, she wanted to stand her ground to show she wasn't scared of him. "I have been a bit impatient haven't I? But I want my answer now", Raven couldn't help but laugh.
"I told you before there no way I'm going to help you hurt my friends", Slade's eyes narrowed.
"Is that so", he started to walk closer to her, now only a foot away from her "That not the answer I am looking for", he started to move again so he could fill in the gap, but he was to slow Raven's hands started to glow as she chanted her famous words.
"Azaeth Metrion Zinthos", Raven trapped Slade in her power colouring his body in black and white, causing him to tense up as he fought her power "dose this bring back memory's?", she taunted him just like he had done to her.
"How dare you", he glared at her, before throwing him into the ground of the roof. "Do you think your going to get away with this?", Raven picked him up again.
"Yes I do, after all Slade out of me and you I am the stronger one", she smirked at him "now this is what I want you to do", she held him still while continuing to walk towards him "I want you to leave me and my friends alone, I don't care what you do but if you keep on causing trouble for us I will make sure you regret it", she throw him hard to the ground further away from her but this time in stead of picking him back up she left him lying, only watching his movement as he staggered to his feet.
"I wouldn't go making threats I can't keep", he stepped back towards the edge of the building "I will see you around, and next time I won't be as nice, then we see who is the stronger one", he jumped over the side of the building, as she watched him in shock before running over to the side to see where he went but he was not anywhere in view.
Suddenly Raven remembered that the rest of the titans where fighting Plasmus `I need to get going, maybe I can help them out`, before flying of to the scene.
THE TITANS
The titans where struggling to take Plasmus out, as Plasmus was using long rage attack making it hard for the titans to get anywhere near him. "Damn it, why is this taking longer than normal?," Cyborg sitting in Plasmus slime.
"I do not know, but we need to stop him before he dose anymore damage", Starfire shouted down to him, as she floated in the air aiming her Star bolts at Plasmus.
"Well how can we do that if he wont let us near him?", Beast Boy looked at Robin expecting him to have a plan.
"I don't know right now", Robin narrowed his eyes "Cyborg, Starfire, you distract him while me and Beats Boy go for the attack", they nodded showing they understood.
Starfire was the first to attack using her Star Bolts flying over Plasmus, while Cyborg ran in a cycle around him shooting his sonic canon at him, the attacks ha no effect on Plasmus. But Robin's plan was working "You ready Beast Boy?", the boy wonder jumped on to a green elephants back.
The green elephant charged at Plasmus while the boy wonder waited for the right moment to jump, they where almost near Plasmus when he decided to grow eight extra long limbs targeting each of the titans.
Starfire leg was caught by Plasmus and she was flung to the ground landing hard "STARFIRE!", Robin yelled but continued on with Beast boy, while Cyborg was just blasted with Plasmus slime attack causing him to stick to the floor, Beast Boy tried his best to avoid the attacks but as he got closer it got harder for him to move away from the attacks.
Robin new he only had one shot and he couldn't afford to miss it, he saw his opportunity when Plasmus was in reach, Robin jumped of Beast boy just before Beast boy was delivered a strong blow forcing him backwards, Robin was in the air with his explosive discs at the ready, throwing them at Plasmus, which made giant holes in the monster.
Robin smiled hoping that the battles been won, but his smile was quickly wiped away from his face when Plasmus started to heal himself before hitting him away making him land next to Beast boy.
"Well that plan was a complete fail, now what?", Beast boy rubbed the back of his head where he landed.
"Azaeth Metrion Zinthos", they heard a voice shout as a black aura in the shape of a raven went right through Plasmus, turning him into a normal man who was fast asleep.
"Well we always have her as a plan B", Cyborg who was now trying to get rid of slime that was no all over him. "Man this is going take forever to get off", he muttered to himself.
"Looks like I showed up on time, then", she walked towards her friends.
"OH THANK YOU, FRIEND RAVEN", Starfire hugged Raven which turned her face red from lack of breath.
"Starfire…I need…air", Starfire slowly put her friend down as she smiled in embarrassment.
"Thanks Raven you came just in time", Robin smiled at her "now, lets head home after we get something to eat", the Titans agreed.
As they walked away Raven stopped "Hey Beast boy can I talk to you for a minute?", everybody turned given Raven a look of disbelief, before Beast boy nodded, the Titans left them to talk.
"I just wanted to say thanks", she looked away for a minute "if it wasn't for you I would have done something really stupid tonight", she walked right in front of Beast Boy. "I'm glad you came for me tonight", she heisted for a moment before giving him a hug "Thanks, I owe you."
Raven started to walk away leaving Beast Boy a bit confused `what dose she mean she would of done something stupid` (I will explain that soon) he snapped out of his daze noticing she was a bit away from him "Hey Raven", she stopped walking "you don't owe me anything, after all I would come for you anytime", He gave her a big smile even though she wasn't looking.
