*Raven P.O.V. / Flash back*

After Slade threw his knife at me, I was pulled into nevermore to survey the damage. Landing in Happy's domain I looked around for the pink clothed emotion. As I got up I could tell that nevermore was taking quite a beating, during my capture. Happy's domain was no longer pink and full of sunshine, but now filled with dust and gloom. Finally managing to locate the happy emotion along with the other huddled in a circle of what used to be Happy's favorite tree.

Walking briskly to the huddled group, she managed to see some of the drastic changes that had happened to the emotions. Happy no longer jumping around, but instead looked sickly and grey. Brave was no longer hanging from the tree branches, sat with Happy looking sick and scared. The rest of the emotions sat around them including a crying Timid, and two new emotions.

Drawing closer to the group, knowledge looked up and a small smile broke her stoic expression. "Raven you're here," she called as the rest of the group looked at her. Sad expressions looked hopeful and the two emotions on the ground attempted to get up, only to be pushed back down by Love and Kindness. "What happened here," I asked the assembled group.

"Since your capture with Slade has weakened both Brave and Happy, as well as making Despair and Grief appear." Replied Wisdom.

"And if you do not start to feel your emotions Happy and Brave will die and Despair and Grief will take over." Continues Knowledge.

Shocked Raven just stood there, until Happy started to try and get up. Raven hurrying over to the weak emotion, just held her down. "Happy you need to rest, you are too weak right now." Raven told her in a firm yet gentle tone, but the emotion wouldn't settle until finally drawing in the sand her question.

"Will you tell BB soon?" She asked.

"Tell him what Happy," Raven asked.

Then Brave copied Happy's action and began to write in the dirt too,

"When will you tell him you love him? You big airhead." She wrote in the dirt quickly.

Smiling at Brave's last remark she stood up, looking carefully at the two new emotions before replying.

"I don't know when, but I promise I will tell him soon."

With all her emotions looking much happier, and Brave and Happy looking much better, Raven stood up and made her way to the forbidden doors. Love stopped her one last time, "You know if you do love him then you should expect another emotion to appear." She told her firmly.

"Who," Raven wondered?

With a silly grin on her face Love said one word "Lust," before turning and heading back to the group.

Suddenly nervous Raven headed out of the portal and to consciousness. Feeling herself back in her body Raven tried to move, an agonizing pain stopped her, forcing her back into the dark. With a soft gasp, she let the darkness take over her again, vaguely aware that she was flying.

*Cyborg P.O.V.*

As I rushed into the med bay, I knew I would have to stop most of the bleeding and stich up many of her wounds. As well as realign her arm and pop her shoulder back into its socket. I did not know that I would have to pump her stomach clean of the disgusting sludge Slade made her drink and treat many large burns and check her body for any acid that may have remained on her skin. As I continued to work Raven suddenly let out a long gasp and bolted upright, tearing some of her stiches. As the pain finally registered in her brain she went rigid and fainted once more. Overcoming my shock of her awakening I deemed that she could not continue to tear her stiches, and grabbed the morphine and some sedatives to keep her in a medically induced sleep until I could finish tending to her wounds. Working quickly I finished stitching the last of her wound and took a blood sample to check for any other problems. Making her comfortable in the hospital bed I finally opened up the med bay doors to allow everyone to come and see. I was about to announce the med bay open when I saw BB already by Raven's bed. Wondering how he got past me, I just left him alone telling him if anything happen just to holler and I'll come running. Walking over to the common room I saw Robin and Starfire kissing and decided that I should leave them alone too. Finally deciding my best bet is to just heading over to the garage to fix up the T-car. My baby took quite a beating, from that traitor.

*Flash back ended/ BB P.O.V.*

It's been a full two days and I have not left Raven side other than the occasional bathroom break and shower, otherwise Cyborg brought his food here and Beast Boy just ate it by Raven. Clutching her hand I told her what she missed when she was missing. How quiet the Tower was, how everyone would always be looking for her, the numerous villains that wet their pants when they went too far in insulting you.

Still holding her hand he just laid his head next to her arm and fell into deep sleep. Only to be awakening in what seemed to be only minutes to Beast Boy. Looking around to find what woke him up he glance over at Raven only to see her up and awake. Doing a double take he realized Raven was indeed awake and instantly tackled her. "Raven you're wake." He cried hugging her tightly but gently enough to compensate for her wounds.

"Beast boy is it you?" she asked confused

Letting go of her I wondered why she would ask that. "Course it's me Raven who else is green and handsome," I replied jokingly, but she didn't laugh didn't smile or even groan like she would do. She just looked at me critically and tried to get up, but I held her down. "Raven where are you going?" I asked her. She just turned back to me and laughed.

"Ha Slade good job, you just had to get one more laugh before you killed me right? Well I won't fall for it; you don't have to rub it in my face. I know that the titans won't come for me. So why are you wasting your time." She says coldly, and then I realized the extent of Slade torture on her. He didn't just torture her physically, but he messed around with her mind. Now she just thought this was some sort of trick.

Grabbing her by her arm I forced her to look at me, softly placing my hand on her cheek I looked right into her eyes and her mine. "Raven it's me, this is not a trick. Remember how Starfire got mad at me when I played that prank on her all those years ago. Or how you helped me tame the beast by taking me into your mind again, or the time you helped me clean my room." I told her softly, as she looked into my eyes I could see everything starting to click into place. Softly she placed her hand on my cheek, whispering she said one thing. "You came," and then did something that Raven would never do. Throwing her arms around my neck she started to sob into my shoulder.

As shocked as I was I knew that at this moment Raven needed me the most so I just wrapped my hands around her and let her cry. As soon as she began to calm down, I remembered the other Titans.

"Raven I almost forgot, the others are waiting for you to wake up. Give me a second and I'll go and get them." I told her as she nodded her consent I left quickly and ran to the common room.

"Hey Beast Boy I was about to bring you dinner," Cyborg stated as I ran into the common room.

"Whoa Beast Boy whe-" Robin never got to finish that sentence cause as soon as I knew everyone was looking I yelled out in pure joy "Raven's up" then turned and ran back to the med bay.

"Raven heads up, "I told her when the rest of the team ran in. "RAVEN" they all shouted and manage to appear on the other side of the room in less than a heartbeat. As they all grouped hugged Raven finally managed to call out "Ok you're happy to see me, now let go, it's getting hard to breathe." All at once they let go and Raven was finally able to fall back into the comfort of the bed. Smiling I let them be until Starfire announced "so Beast Boy, when are you going to tell Raven that –," I never let her finish that sentence.

Looking at me, Raven asked "tell me what Beast boy?"

Smacking myself I just replied "Um I'll tell you later, k Raven."

For reason unknown Raven let me slide that once, with just a "Fine I'll hold you to it."

We were finally pushed out by Starfire, when Raven said she wanted to talk with her ALONE. For the first time in weeks I finally manage to have a restful night.
