Raven was unsure why she felt so much safer with Beast Boy. Usually she felt perfectly fine on her own. She had woken up early but decided she would just stay right there. It was where she felt safe. She had no nightmares that forced her to relive the night before, and she was grateful for it. She knew that's she would have to once the team, or at least Starfire, asked her to explain what had happened. There was a knock at the door, which woke Beast Boy up.
"Come in." The green changeling called out.
Cyborg walked in on quite a scene. BB had his arm lazily wrapped around Raven and Raven was laying there, happily. It took Cyborg a minute to get his words back. He was rather shocked.
"Um... Hate to break up this," Cyborg pointed to the two Titans who were cuddling, "But I need Raven to come with me."
Raven got up from the bed and walked out the door with Cyborg, wondering what was going on. Was he trying to get her out of an awkward situation? Was something wrong? Raven had no idea what was going on, and that worried her. They walked back to the infirmary. Raven knew that it must have been something with the scanner. They reached the room they were in last night, before she ended up spending her night cuddling with Beast Boy. She stood face to face with the long and enclosed scanner. If things were heading where she thought they were, she wasn't looking forward to it.
"We didn't finish the scan right last night. We'll need to start over."
The words she dreaded were said. She didn't want to get back into that scanner, something about it freaked her out. She got inside of it anyway. She knew it'd be best for her health if she did. Right? She tried to act like she wasn't freaked out. It didn't work well. Cyborg had left the room and came back a few minutes later with Starfire, who was assuring Raven that she shouldn't worry and that she was right there. Raven closed her eyes and waited for the flashbacks to start. -
Pain. Suffering. Blood. Screaming. Crying. Pain. Suffering. Blood. Screaming. Crying. Screaming. Screaming until her lungs gave out. Then crying. Crying because she couldn't scream anymore. The moist feeling of blood running down her body. The pain of all of it. Suffering because the pain wouldn't stop. It'd never stop so it seemed. The hits to her body. Pain. That this would always have a special place in her mind. Suffering. The think liquid running down her as he ripped her clothes to shreds. Blood. She didn't want to hurt anymore, she could not fend for herself at this moment. Screaming. Her lungs giving out because her vocal cords her shredding. Crying. -
Cyborg opened the door to the tube which startled Raven. She stumbled out and into the arms of Starfire. Cy gave a nod, telling Starfire to take her out. They walked to Starfire's room where she sat Raven down on the bed before sitting down herself. Raven carelessly fell onto her side. Starfire asked her a simple question.
"What happened? I have been in the tube of examination and it has never had this effect on me."
Raven thought for a second. She really didn't feel like explaining the toll that being in that little tube had on her. She bolted off of Star's bed. She ran in the direction of her own room but ended up crashing into Beast Boy on her way down the hall. She had tears down her face. Beast Boy looked at her and asked if something had been wrong. Obviously, something was and BB could see it on her face. He led her to her own room and they sat down on the bed. Beast Boy put his arm around her and just let her sit there. After a few minutes Raven took a deep breath and told Beast Boy everything that had happened the night before and this day so far.
Cyborg knocked on the door, once again interrupting them. He spoke.
"Raven? I've analyzed everything that the scanner picked up. Could I talk to you in private?"
With that, Raven left the room yet still crying. Cyborg pulled her into the first private room. He spoke softly.
"Raven. The scanner picked up something really strange. According to the test it ran, you are pregnant. We can take care of it, of course if that's what you want. It's all up to you. I won't tell anyone, it's all up to you."
Raven silently nodded, still in shock.
