AN- these next chapters are probably the last. I feel that the way i end the story will be good, but read on so you can decide... Also, check out the story that i co-wrote with lunar silver. Its called Blackfire's Destiny. It has a pretty good movement to it.

Disclaimer- still dont own Teen Titans

CHAPTER 7

On the way to the roof, I reflected on my life in the past, and what would have happened if I hadn't found the Titans. Especially Beast Boy. While it had taken years of his presence to accept it, he is the reason I am where I am as of now. Without his constant stream of jokes, or his happy-go-lucky feel about things, I probably wouldn't have chosen to keep on living. In a way, Beast Boy was the most important piece in my life cycle. Even with all of the negativity and sorrow I seem to cause, he was always there to cheer me up in some form. By the time I made it to the roof, I had gone through every choice I have made in my life, and wondered how it would have been if I had chosen differently. It seemed that being around Beast Boy has caused a difference in how I see life as a whole. I had no more time for reflections, because Beast Boy walked up to the roof at that moment. He seemed a little excited, but also nervous. Like he was scared I would be telling him that we couldn't be together. We slowly walked up to each other, and embraced. I started to show signs of sadness, and could feel tears starting to form. I started to tell him how I was sorry for the way I tormented him over the years, but before I could get a sentence out, he put his finger to my lips. He then started to tell a story about his past. Something I would never forget.

"Raven, I think that the only reason I seem to understand you as we'll as I do is because of the life I had lived before meeting the Titans. It started when I was only a few years old..."

I started to wonder what could possibly be worse than being a portal to world destruction, but I listened closely to his story. Absorbing every word said.

"I was only a baby, but a curious baby. My parents were scientists. They were trying to find a cure to Sakutia, a devastating virus to animals, as well as humans. They had a specimen that had contracted the virus, but I only saw it as a caged animal. I wanted to let it free, but when I opened the door, it attacked me, and gave me the virus. My parents, trying to save me any way they could, gave me a counter agent to the virus. That's what gave me the power to shift. We didn't know that at the time. But the virus had been the reason I was green. My parents treated me like a normal kid, and we lived happily for a few years. Eventually I figured out how to shift. My mother was being attacked by a snake, and I turned into a mongoose, and killed it. My parents treated me the same, but took me out of school. When I was 7, we were on a boat. My parents told me to shift into a bird, and fly to shore. I was just trying to be a good son, and listened, but they were at the edge of a waterfall, and they fell down. I was devastated, and couldn't help but think of what could have happened if i had saved them. I still do. I thought I could make a difference in the life of others, so I broke into the Doom Patrol HQ. I was determined to make it as a superhero, and Mento was impressed with my ability. He put me through worse training than Robin does now. I still have scars to prove it."

With that he took off his gloves, and his shirt. His hands, and back were littered with scars of cuts and slices. It was disturbing to think that he lived that every day.

"Eventually, I couldn't take the treatment anymore. That's when I left, and found you guys trying to save Star. I've always kept a happy attitude so as not to show everyone what my life was like. I never want anyone to share that pain with me. That's also why I was so understanding about Trigon, and Malchior. Raven, I think I- no I know I Love you. I don't want you to get hurt in any way. And I can show you."

He leaned in and kissed me, before I could process what he meant. It was like one of the many novels I've read. There's really no way to explain it. I could feel objects exploding behind me, but I didn't care. Every moment has to end though. We didn't notice Cyborg appear by the door, until he started laughing hysterically. He had his arm open and a camera out.

"This is gonna be a Christmas card, and a Birthday card, and... Uh-oh"

"You have three seconds..."

By the time I reached two he was already down the stairs. I wanted that moment to last forever...

AN- ah my beautiful story is nearing its finale. I hope you've been enjoying it as much as i have. Here's an answer to a comment from a few chapters ago: I 3 Teen Titans, yes I do partially ship RobStar, but not as much as BBRae xP thanks for the positive words. Again I ask you to check out the story i cowrote with lunar silver. Blackfire's Destiny. Its a good story with a different view on Blackfire. As always: review and favorite and all of that. See y'all next chapter!
