Present Day Raven P.O.V
It felt really good just too cry in Beast Boy's arms. It felt like that was the only place that was safe in this world and he was so patient with me, only using kind and understanding tones. Now he knew the threat to the entire galaxy was me and my family.
I can feel my sibling trying to break the magical borders that I put around the earth. Especially the twins, they kept coming at speeds that Kid Flash could only dream about. If my mother's letter was right than they would soon go to my father for help, and get through.
Suddenly Beast Boy burst into my room, without knocking, wearing a ridiculous coach uniform, whistle, baseball hat, and a goofy grin. "Okay Rae, you said last night that you need to learn how to use all your powers, so that is what we are going to work on all day. Get dressed, eat some breakfast and meet me at the gym."
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I don't want to get out of bed. Oh the irony, now I am the lazy oversleeping one. My how the tables have turned, I almost smiled at the thought. Almost.
Beast Boy P.O.V
She is so perfect. When I walked into her room she was wearing her pajamas, which is just her leotard with shorter sleeves, but still that was the first time I had seen her arms without the red birthmarks.
Raven looked so sad and alone, I just wanted to climb into her bed and comfort her, but I didn't know if that would be taken well. Today was going to be interesting enough as it is. I have to coach her to use her full powers, but I don't know what any of them are. I just know the basic black energy that she uses to chuck cars at people. She'll have to write them all down on a piece of paper for me.
I grabbed a black spiral notebook and a pen and waited in the gym. Raven walked in her uniform holding a cup of tea. "This is why emotions are bad, I am exhausted from crying. It's like I am hung-over or something." I laughed at that, Raven would not even know what hung-over felt like and the idea of her ever being drunk was just funny. She was cute when she did not know what she is dealing with.
"So Raven, I realized something; I have no idea what to coach you on. What are your full powers?"
"I can pretty much to anything because of my sorcery and spells."
"Can you become invisible? Create a dimension? Manipulate others emotion? Control earth, fire, wind or water? Please tell me specifically."
"All of the above Beast Boy, but some of that does not fit my personality or what I believe is fair in a fight."
"When are you at your most powerful?"
"When I am in my controlled demon form," she said in her monotone.
"Have I ever seen it?" I wondered if the thing she uses to scare Dr. Light was her full demon form. What exactly is the second part of the prophecy that she can't know about.
"No you haven't seen it. Don't get me wrong Beast Boy I am not all some all-powerful god, I have limitations and mentally drained. My empathy powers give me power yet take it away as well; they make me more tired in combat. Imagine constantly running on the treadmill picking up bits of information, all while doing everything else you are doing."
I tried to wrap my brain around that. "What is Trigon's weakness?" She was silent for a few moments and I was afraid that she would put back up that wall that I was trying to tear down.
"He is rash and doesn't think things through. My oldest brother has the same problem. He also has a conscience that is constantly tearing him down for being evil."
Trigon the Terrible had a conscience. That is something I never thought that I would hear. "How long do we have in till they come Rae?" She looked at me sadly and lifted up her shoulders defeated.
That look on her face sent me on edge; I could not bear to see her hurt. I wrapped my arms around her and lifted up her chin so that she could see my eyes. "Rachel you aren't alone. I am always here for you. I love you Rae."
She looked confused for a second than a small smile tugged on the corners of her mouth. "I think I love you to Gar."
I brought my rough lips to her soft ones and kissed her. She put her fingers in my hair while I grabbed her waist and pulled her as close as I could. I could hear things smashing all around us; I didn't care. She felt so good in my arms and seemed like she was made to fit there. Her knee brushed against my bare leg and my knees almost buckled.
When it ended because we both needed air, she looked around the room with an embarrassed expression. "Robin is going to kill us." I quickly followed her gaze and saw that everything in the room was smashed or had exploded. Turning back to her I saw her cheeks slowly turning pink.
"I am sorry; I haven't learned how to control that emotion yet."
"Don't ever be sorry for that. It is who you are Rachel, and you just gave me the best gift I could ever receive." Her blush turned dark red, I liked seeing her embarrassed, it was cute.
