Hey there it's me. I'm sorry I'm no good at writhing, but oh well. You can't be good at every thing. Here's chapter 4. And FYI the Titanic did sink on the 14th not the 15th. I'm not trying to insult your intelligent I'm just saying that I did my homework before I wrote this. Trust me.

Chapter 4

The date was April12th, 1912, and things were just getting started. Beast boy and raven took yet another walk on the deck that was the Titanic. Lately beast boy hasn't been himself and raven could notice. He wouldn't go near the edge of the boat. Not even to see the dolphins swim by. He seemed scared all the time and jumpy. Even last night raven was constantly woken up by beast boy who apparently was having terrible dreams.

"So we've walked about a mile around this deck and you haven't said one word to me. Is every thing okay?" beast boy asked.

"Huh. Oh yeah every things fine. I was just thinking." raven said.

"Oh. Thinking about what?" beast boy said in a playful tone.

"Well I was just wondering if you would tell me how you got your powers?" Beast boy jumped back at the remark. His mood suddenly changed from happy, joyful, not a care in the world to...depressed and sad. Even though she couldn't use her powers her she could still see the emotion in his eyes.

"I mean you don't have to if you don't want to. I was just wondering." raven said trying not to upset beast boy even more.

"No it's alright. I just don't like to talk about it, but maybe it's time I should." he said. There came an awkward silence between them.

"I wasn't always a freak you know." beast boy said braking the silence, "If I hadn't been infected I would probably look the way I do now."

"Beast boy you were never a freak." raven said.

"Yes I am. Now were was I? Oh right. I was about four when it happened. My parents were zoologist and some times they couldn't find a babysitter. So they would take me with them to study. Well while they were studying the gorillas, I was playing in the forest. Then all of a sudden a green monkey came after me. I ran as fast as I could trying to get away from this evil looking thing. I didn't even know were I was going. I had never been so scared in my entire life. Then I tripped and the monkey jumped on top of me. I struggled to get away from it, but my attempts just didn't work. The monkey then bit me on the left shoulder. I could feel the venom coursing through my veins as it bit down harder every second. After that my parents found me and shoot in the direction of the monkey but missed every shoot."

Raven stood there soaking in every word he said. As he told his story a few tears would escape his eyes. He then made his way to one of the lawn chairs they had set out. She sat beside him and placed her hand on his to try and comfort it. He responded by holding her hand which in turn made her smile.

"My parents brought me to the nearest hospital which was nearly four hours away. I was in pain for four weeks. Four agonizing weeks I was in pain. The doctors didn't know what was wrong with me so they didn't put me out. Instead they let me suffer. During those four weeks my skin turned green, my fangs grew out, and my ears pointed. It was then I was officially declared a monster, a freak." Beast boy had several tears dripping from his face at this point. "A month later and I figured out that I could shape shift. That part was okay...for a little while. I was actually called 'grass stain' in Africa. My parents died shortly after that, and I became homeless. It wasn't until I was nine years old that I joined the Doom Patrol. And that's pretty much it."

Raven couldn't believe the story that she had just heard. She actually had tears falling from her face. 'How could he have lived through this?' she asked herself.

"Beast boy you were never and I repeat NEVER a monster. And don't you ever think anything els." raven said. Beast boy was starting to feel a little better. He felt as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.

"Thanks rae." he said whiping away the tears.

"Anytime." she said.

Beast boy and raven continued their walk for the rest of the day. It was starting to get late and he was ready to start heading back, but she wasn't. She had pulled him to the back of the boat so that she could talk to him some more. As the two darted in conversation raven starts leaning over the back of the boat.

"Beast boy I have a question for you." she said leaning a little further.

"Okay what is it?" he asked.

"Dose it hurt?" she asked. Beast boy was quite confused by the question.

"Dose what hurt?"

"When you shift. Dose it hurt?" Beast boy then became serious. So serious it scared raven.

"It's agony." Raven immediately stooped what she was doing to look at him. She thought it didn't and to have him say that it was agony. There was just no way.

"It is? But you don't seem to be effected by it. Sometimes you will shift into two animals in less that two seconds flat."

"Yes but you got to tack in consideration that all of my bones, muscles, skin, and organs are being rearranged. I hate turning into cows too many stomachs."

"So how come you are always so smooth with the transformations?"

"The pain only last for a few seconds, but in those few seconds it feels like I'm being riped apart inside out. It tacks me a minute just to feel normal in the form, but by then I'm smashed up agents something or shoot with a laser. So in a way I'm in more pain fighting then anyone."

"You should have told us." she said with a tone of anger in her voice.

"I know but I knew you wouldn't let me go on missions. All the pain is worth it when I save a life." he said.

"You know that's really noble of you." she said as she continued to lean over the side of the boat.

"Thanks, but I know if you were in my shoes you would do the same." he said with a smile. She smiled and leaned ever ferther on the edge of the boat. The breez felt so good on her skin. She felt so relaxed she could fall asleep on the spot.

Then all of a sudden the bar seperating her from a fall into the icey cold water below broke. Losing her balance she flings her arms around trying to grab something. Her footing escaped and she started falling. She screamed loud as she fell, but suddely she felt something grab her wrist and her falling stopped. She looked up to see beast boy trying despreatly to pull her up. "Don't worrie I've got you." was the only thing he could think of to say. She was fwaling her legs back and forth using all of her strength to get back on the boat. Beast boy then desided to use two hands and started pulling her up. As he pulled his strength gave out and dropped her a few inches. She screamed for she thought she was going to fall. "It's okay I won't let you fall." he said. After gathering up his strength he pulled again. He got her up enough to get her arms on the boat; he then placed his hands under her arms and pulled her up the rest of the way.

Now she was back on the boat and scared out of her pants. She was holding on to beast boy crying into his chest. As she continued to cry beast boy wraped his arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug. Not two muiniets later and the master adarms came to see what had happened.

Beast boy explaned the sittuation to them and carried her to their room. Once there he set her on the bed and waited for her to calm down. She was still crying and holding on to beast boy. He was doing his best to calm her. Seeing her like this just tore his heart aparte. He started to stroke her soft black hair. She finally calmed down enough to let go of beast boy.

"I've got to go to the bathroom. I will be right back." he said. As he exited the room raven felt as if she was falling again. 'Oh my god. I almost died. I can't believe it. Then beast boy was there to save me. I've been so mean to him. He should have let me fall to my death. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. I don't deserve to live.' she thought. She then placed her head in her hands and sobbed.

Beast boy was now relived of his bladder and started making his way back to his room, but when he got to the door he heard something. He pressed his ear agenst the door and heard raven moaning, and crying. He ran through the door and saw raven hunched over the bed crying.

"Raven what's wrong?" he said going over to her. She just wraped her arms around him and cried into his chest.

"I'm sorry." she said between sobs.

"Your sorry. For what?" he said stroking her hair.

"For beeing so mean to you. For calling you names and always putting you down. I promised myself if I made it out of this I would tell you how sorry I am." raven said. She had began to have lung spasums from crying so much.

"Raven it's alright. You don't have to be sorry."

"Beast boy could you do me a favor?"

"Sure anything."

"Could you hold me just for a muinite?" she asked rather embaressed.

"You want me to hold you?" he asked shocked by her favor.

"I-I just don't want to feel alone. I feel so safe when I'm with you I..." but she didn't finish for she just cried some more.

"Of course I'll hold you." he said trying to calm her. He then made his way into the small twin sized bed lieing down on his back. Raven slowly rested her body on his using his chest for a pillow. He wraped his arms around her to make her feel safe. After a while she fell asleep as did beast boy.

Tony came in moments later to see his friends fast alseep and holding one another.

"Those two really need to get together." he said in a whisper. He then cralled into his own bed and went to sleep.

Yeah it's finally done. God it's crap. Oh well chapter five will be here soon. R&R.
