One night, Raven can't sleep... so she decides to make some tea, but
when she runs into Beast boy, something will happen that the two can
never forget...
Taking Over Me
Chapter 7: Terra
The sunlight sneaked into the dark room. Raven stirred in her sleep as she felt the hot rays hit her eyes. Squinting, she yawned and sat up. For once in the past two weeks of her life, she had actually slept through the whole night without interference.
Though, as she sat up and stretched, a lingering feelings began to overcome her. She stopped and stared on, trying to search this feeling out. Something was going to happen and she felt that notion all over.
She ran her fingers through her hair and began to rub the areas under her eyes. The day before the grand party for Starfire and there was still much to do. Looking over, she caught eye of the bag she placed the present for Starfire in.
Slowly, she made her way towards it and took it out. She was sure that Starfire was going to love it. Smiling a little, she placed the bracelet back into it's box and placed it aside for later. Glancing over at the clock, she figured it was about time to head downstairs for breakfast.
"So, you guys all set on the plan?" Robin asked as he looked over at Cyborg and Beast boy with a pointed look on his face. "When I take her out for breakfast tomorrow, Cy you get the cake and plates out. Beast boy, you help Raven with the decorations. I can only hold off for about two hours, so work fast."
The leader of the team was giving them the basic drill on what was to happen the following day. Beast boy and Cyborg gave each other a lazy look.
"Look, Rob," Beast boy began with a frown. "We went over this ten times already. We get it."
"I know, I know!" Robin exclaimed as he threw his hands up in the air. "I just want everything to go right for her."
Cyborg gave Beast boy a knowing look. "Well, it is going to," Cyborg assured him as he placed a hand on his leader's shoulder.
"What will go well?" a new voice asked from behind them.
The three boys panicked as they looked behind them all at once to see Starfire in the entrance of the kitchen. A innocent look upon her delicate features as she looked on, waiting for a answer.
"Oh, uh..." Beast boy looked around for a moment. "Nothing!"
"We were just talking about video games, Star," Robin lied with a straight look on his face.
Starfire looked over at Cyborg and Beast boy, who were nodding in agreement. Nodding, she smiled and headed over to the stove for some breakfast.
The three boys let out a sigh of relief as Starfire took her plate and went over to the table. Robin turned to his two team mates and gave them a stern look before heading over to sit next to Starfire. Cyborg looked over at Beast boy and gave a shrug.
"What's going on?" came a dull voice from behind.
Feeling the air moved as her cloak wiped through the space between them, Beast boy looked over. "Uhh, nothing. Just about to have breakfast is all," Beast boy began as he smiled over at Raven.
She didn't return the smile. Nodding, she headed over to the stove to start her morning pot of tea. That lingering feeling was still deep inside her as she began to boil some water.
Beast boy sat down at the table and kept his eyes on Raven. What was it about her that made him act this way? It couldn't have all started with one kiss. It couldn't have. Up until then, Beast boy was head over heels for Terra.
He perked up his head at the sudden thought. Terra... he thought for a moment. I can't forget about her! I can't! I love her... he stopped, before looking over at Raven.
She had her back to him, preparing her tea in utter silence. He watched, carefully, as his thoughts seemed to bring him back in forth between Terra and Raven.
Terra was so kind to him before she had betrayed the Titans. A true friend in his mind. He always found it easy to please her and make her laugh. Enjoying each others company as they played video games or even took walks in the park. Beast boy couldn't believe it when he found out. She betrayed him. His feels swayed back in forth for her.
It wouldn't make much difference if he liked Raven or not. Raven seemed to be the type to back off when things got too intimate. Even though, he had to admit... he used to be quite taken by her at first. Her mysterious attitude drove him crazy to know everything about her. But, every time he got just a little closer, she pushed him away. She pushed everyone away.
He wasn't sure from time to time if what he had with Terra was real. She tricked him and betrayed him, but did she actually come to like him like he had her? Beast boy was never sure. The only evidence pointing to yes was their last moment together. Terra hugged him and told him he was her best friend she had ever had.
After everything that happened between the two, Raven seemed to care the less more than anyone. Beast boy felt hurt by this. He always thought of Raven to be closer to him than the others, even though at first he doubted her trust and loyalty to the team.
Raven continued to sip her tea, while trying hard to keep track of what everyone was talking about. From time to time, she glanced up at Beast boy to find him keeping to himself and not speaking to the others. He seemed to be in deep thought about something or other.
She then began to stare, taking a real notice in his features. His eyes were sunken in with black marks underneath, suggesting his lack of sleep. She quickly looked away when he looked up. She could feel a blush filled her cheeks as she tried to keep her eyes away from him.
Am I really falling for him? she began to wonder as she moved her eyes over to look at Beast boy. I can't be! I mean, he wants Terra, not some half demon, who can't express her emotions.
She sighed and looked away from her team mates. Why am I so hard on myself? she wondered as she rubbed her forehead with her hands.
"So, what do want for your birthday?" Robin asked as he looked over at Starfire.
This brought Raven out of her thoughts and back on the conversations occurring around the table. Slowly, she looked over at Starfire, who had a thoughtful look on her face.
"A very good question," she began as she placed a finger on her chin. "I wish to have friend Terra back with us here..."
Raven's eyes widen in shock as she bowed her head a little to keep out of view. Slowly, she took a glimpse at Beast boy, who had a Solomon look on his face. She could tell he wanted the same thing, deep down inside.
"I bet Beast boy wants that above us all," Starfire said with a wink, as she looked over at Beast boy with a grin. "Do you not?"
Beast boy's head perked up as he looked on uncertainly. Didn't he want Terra back? Of course he did. Slowly, he grinned, awkwardly. "Of course I do..." he began, looking sideways at Raven. "I love her, of course.. why wouldn't I want her back?"
Raven felt as if a truck had hit her and then backed up to do it a second time. She froze at the spot, speechless and confused. Had he really said that? If he had... then why did it leave her so shocked? She felt a lump form in her throat, she glimpsed up at Beast boy.
He must have felt ashamed, but the look of fear was evident on his face. He looked at her for a long moment and gulped, before looking down at his plate. His eyes seem to search for something as he slowly stood up.
"I'm, uh.. going to go to my room now," he began as he turned around on his heels and ran out of the room.
"What's his problem?" Robin asked as he took a sip of orange juice. "We made him tofu like he wanted."
Cyborg kept silent. He knew exactly what was wrong. Slowly, he looked up at Raven with a hesitant look on his face. His expression clearly was asking about her well being.
Raven looked at him with a hurt expression of some sort. Her eyes were burning with the great need to release tears. Slowly, she stood up and walked away without saying anything to her team mates.
"Now, what's up with her?" Robin asked with a exasperated tone. "She looks like someone just whacked her over the head with a broom."
Cyborg sighed as the sound of a door shutting was heard. Slowly, he stood up and pushed in his chair. "Someone might as well have done that," he muttered, absentmindedly as he left the room to follow Raven.
Starfire looked at Robin for a moment with a confused look. "Robin, I do not understand what has happened?" she began with a unsure tone in her voice.
"Neither do I," Robin admitted as he shook his head. "Something weird is going on between Raven and Beast boy..."
Raven kicked a crate with all her might, sending it towards a wall on the other end of the garage. Growling, she felt anger rise up within her.
"Don't lose control," she muttered as she took in a breath and slowly let it out. Sighing, she sat down on the ground and leaned against Cyborg's car. "What's wrong with me?"
"Raven?" the sound of Cyborg's voice filling the air.
Raven opened her eyes and looked over to find the half machine standing at the entrance. Slowly, he took steady steps toward her. They didn't say anything as he sat down beside her.
"Are... you ok?" he asked, after a long moment of silence had past.
She thought for a moment. Slowly, she shook her head and looked down. "What's wrong with me?" she asked, suddenly.
"Nothing," he answered, sincerely. "You just... aren't used to these feelings."
She sighed and shook her head. "You're right about that. I mean, I always knew he loved her," she began as she took a side glance at him. "But, hearing him say it... really triggered something in me. Something that I don't like."
"Maybe, you really expected him to say those words about you," Cyborg suggested as he dared to take a look down at her. "Maybe, even if you didn't know to expect that... you were kindling of wishing for it."
"Or, maybe... I should stop letting my emotions get the best of me," Raven snorted as she hugged her knees. "I mean, I am the daughter of a terrible demon! I'm not suppose to feel anything!"
Another term of silence floated by. Cyborg really didn't know what to say or do to help her. Looking away, he continued to play around with his thoughts.
"Raven," he began. "Sometimes letting your emotions fly is the best thing you can do for yourself..."
She sighed and looked away. "Why him?" she wondered aloud.
Cyborg smiled at this. "Because, he has always been able to see you for what you are," he began, as he placed a finger under her chin and tilted it upward to get her to look at him. "Because, deep down inside... you really want it to be him and not anyone else."
Raven narrowed her eyes and pulled away from him. "That was a rhetorical question," she muttered in a half sarcastic manner.
Cyborg laughed as he stood up and held out a hand towards her. "Come on. Let's go grab a shake or something," he ventured as he pointed to his car.

After Notes
Sorry for a late update. I'm usually on top of these things, but lately I've been somewhat depressed. Seems that I will be going to court soon over my doberman. He bit this girl and the parents are suing to try and get the dog removed. So, as you can see I've been a bit distracted.
So, this is all based on my dream I had. Just with these added part in it. I would tell you guys about my dream, but it's very dirty and wrong. Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying it.
Like I said before, this will probably only go on for another 3 to 4, maybe even 5 chapters. So, we will see how that will go.
I'm working on some other Beast boy and Raven story ideas. I'm hoping they turn out as good as Like Lovers Do, All You Need, and Taking Over Me. I'm hoping to make the new ideas less dramadic and more humorous. There has been enough drama in my life that will take me years to write it all down.
Email me anytime with any questions or anything. Hope to see you at the next chapter!
