Chapter 7: True Potential

After tying up Slade to a tree, the Teen Titans and Beast Boy emotions settled in for the night. Wisdom mentioned before they set up camp that they are miles away from the Titanosaur and that it was busy searching for them, but it had a hard time to dew so because of the speed they were going and it couldn't pick up their scents.

They set up camp by the waterfall and started to get a fire going. There would be nothing to eat tonight so the team just went straight to bed on the grassy surface. Beast Boy tried to close his eyes, but they seemed they didn't want to. He sighed and decided to just stare up at the stares that were showing through the giant gap the trees made that they decided to camp under. He watched as the night sky and began to wonder how there were stars in his own mind. That was quickly discarded as something he didn't want to know right now.

Gazing up at the night brought a sense of peace to the Changeling as he looked up at the wide variety of stars and constellations. He smiled inwardly and began to watch the night sky with much amusement. There was some shuffling going on near him, he looked and saw only Cyborg tossing and turning trying to find a good spot to sleep. He eventually did and rested his head on a rock and cuddled with a tree branch while sucking his thumb. Garfield laughed lightly of seeing his oversized friend do that and then looked over at Slade who appeared to be sleeping to.

Wisdom said that he and Knowledge will try to figure out what had just happened later this day and decided just to leave it for tomorrow. Looking over to Starfire and Robin they were cuddling with each other trying to keep warm. Beast Boy smiled and then looked over at Raven and saw that she was sleeping rather close to him. Shuffling to his left side he could tell that she was three feet from him and facing towards him with her right arm supporting her head. He smiled again with a big toothy grin on his green face and then looked at his emotions. Happy and Timid were both lying close to each other in their wolf forms trying to keep warm. Knowledge laid down on a bed of tree branches in his human form and Wisdom just rested by a rock keeping him propped up and bowing his head to his chest.

Smiling, Beast Boy got up and began to walk up the cliff over the waterfall, once at the top he looked and caught his breath at the remarkable view of the forest they were in. He smiled and sat down looking at the beauty of the night sky. Although this didn't last when he sensed a presence behind him, looking back he saw Raven and almost jumped at seeing her in the dark. Smiling though and getting up he walked over to her and looked down at her. She never really liked to be looked down upon, Beast Boy past her right up and was starting to get taller than Robin and seemed to be getting a better build.

"Why look who's here," Beast Boy said flashing one of his grins, "If it isn't little Miss Rae, what can I do for you."

She looked up at him with a blank face while he kept looking down, "You mind if I sat next to you?" she asked walking towards the edge where he was.

Turning to follow her he kept up his smile and began to sit right next to her with a foot in between them. "Not at all!" he said in a happy voice, he always liked to sit next to her.

Grinning slightly she watched him sit down next to her left side with his legs dangling over the edge. She decided to do that to and put her hands down to support her, but they quickly retreated when they touched Beast Boy's, she blushed and looked up at the valley. Apparently Beast Boy was also blushing and began to rub the back of his neck with his right hand. "Heh, Sorry Raven." He apologized.

Raven looked over at him and raised an eyebrow, "About what? It was my fault.I didn't pay attention to where I put my hand."

"Yeah I guess so…" Beast Boy said still rubbing his neck and putting his hand down.

Raven grinned slightly and put her hand down next to his with her finger tips touching his. This caused him and her to both blush furiously, but they didn't remove their hands. "So ah…" Beast Boy said notable to find anything to talk about.

"What is it Beast Boy?" Raven said looking at him.

"I, ah… was just wondering what you think about all of this?"

"Well it certainly wasn't anything I was suspecting." She said looking at the valley again.

"What do you mean by that?" Beast Boy said rather defensively, knowing how their argument went this morning with Wisdom.

"Don't worry Gar, I'm not offending you, I'm just curious of to why your mind is so large." She said looking at him.

"Oh… sorry." He said rubbing the back of his neck with his other hand, so that he didn't leave Raven's touch.

"It's alright, I was kind of rude this morning to you, so it's only fair that you assume that." She said.

"Well ok then," he said putting his left hand down to his lap.

"For all we could know Garfield, were looking at days of traveling before we even reach your other emotions." She said with a smile.

"You think that's a good, thing?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "That Titanosaur is right on our tail and you think it's good to spend more time in here."

"I will have to admit, that the Titanosaur is truly powerful, I never would of thought of something so powerful living on Earth. That thing when we first saw it gave me goose bumps. Its power was far greater than that of Trigon, were messing with a god-like creature here Gar."

"Ya you can call it god-like, it is powerful but I would call it more like a Titan, hence the name." Beast Boy said grinning at her.

"Whatever, they are both powerful names Gar and earning a name like Titanosaurus, is a title that is really saying something, that creature could just step on Jump city and destroy it." she said with her eyes wide.

"It's still an animal Raven, I don't think destroying things is it's number one top priority." He said looking at her.

She looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Ok then, "she said turning back to the valley, "Whatever you want to think of it, it's up to you, now let's get down to something real important."

"Ya like what?" Beast Boy said raising an eyebrow.

"Like us." She said flatly.

Beast Boy started at her wide eyed as she slowly turned her head towards him. "Oh don't give me that look, I know how you feel about me and I think I feel the same way about you." She said blushing.

Beast Boy's jaw was slack and was hanging there while he looked at the women he loved for so long wide eyed and admit her love to him. "Ah Raven… I think your right." He said smiling and looking down at her.

She got up and began to walk away with her eyes closed and her cloak around her. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"You're not getting anything until we get out of here and my powers back up to speed, I don't want to feel insignificant to my all powerful boyfriend." She said smiling and opening her eyes as she walked back to camp.

Beast Boy just sat there frozen with his jaw opened and his eyes wide. Soon his eyes turned to rage and he sat up and looked at her as she made her way down. "I don't think you're insignificant!" He yelled to her, "You are the most wonderful person in the world, I don't care if you had your powers or not, I still will love you for who you are." He said in a smooth voice. His eyes returning back to normal.

She stopped and sat there for a second before returning back to camp. "You're still not getting anything until we get back to the our world and besides teasing you this whole time will be fun and it will make the kiss so much more enjoyable, oh and I still want my powers back, I know you don't find me insignificant, but I just want to level the playing field with you. Don't want you to go and get a big head."

"What? I won't go get a big head ever!" he said looking at her as she made her way down.

"I know that and you should know that I can still kick your butt by teasing you." She said a little louder so that he could hear her.

"Then why don't you do it now then!"

"Because I already did it, with my powers though it will be so much more enjoyable, good night Gar!" she said happily at that last sentence, "Don't stay up to long."

"Did Raven just say that she loved me and showed emotion," Beas Boy wondered out loud, he smiled and looked towards the sky, "Man I hope that can still happen with her showing her emotions when we get back to the real world."

"What, this ain't real enough for ya?" asked a voice.

Beast Boy looked around to find out who it was. It wasn't Raven because it sounded like his voice. It was just that this voice sounded like a little deeper. "Who are you show yourself." Beast Boy yelled out to no one.

"As you wish my master." The voice said.

Beast Boy was then seeing a vision, just like the one he saw early that day about Slade. This one however was different. Beast Boy was staring at a version of himself that was bigger and taller than he was. The vision changed as the version of him changed into a wide assortment of creatures that he knew and didn't know of. The creatures sent of waves of energy every time he shifted and Beast Boy felt all of them, so much power came from each one and the more the version of him shifted the more Beast Boy understood of his powers.

"This is…" Beast Boy began as he saw more creatures fill his mind, "This is amazing, I can see everything now, it's all so clear. How can I posses this much power and not even know about it?"

"Your true potential was always hidden from you," the voice said in his head as Beast Boy still watched the version of him change in marvelous creatures, "The virus helped you along with them, gain a better understanding with them, but if that didn't happen you would have not discovered your true potential till years to come. Since you do have the virus and that you have entered your mind, you are able to see your powers more clearly than having to wait another year or 2 until you begin to scrape what you can become."

"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked.

"In due time master you will know, but now is the time to rest and settle in what you have just seen." The voice said as Beast Boy began to close his eyes, "Soon my master you will know of your true potential."

AN: I am so sorry about the wait guys, but here you go the next chapter, sorry for it not being here early, but I've been busy lately. So sorry about that again, I'll try to update as soon as possible and the next chapter will be about the vision of Slade and we will meet Brave and Rage! The two disagree on a lot of things.
