Yikes, sorry everyone for the long wait...fan fiction decided to lock me out and say my e-mail didn't work and gah just stuff so I had this written a while ago but I couldn't even get on the site! Grrr Still here it is!

Chapter 9: Got To Keep Moving

Psimon let loose another blast, before Raven turned to him. It was really weird how it all worked, despite the fact he had Anger on his side, she could still tap into her power because Anger was, in the end, part of her.

Her eyes became four red slits, "What? Afraid I'll know where you are?" Her voice was demonic as she felt the rage swell up in her.

"No, but you should think twice about pulling power from your enemy, or at least those allied with your enemy." Psimon's eyes narrowed as he concentrated, and bound her in psychic energy. She couldn't move, and then he came close. Even though he was taller, he lowered himself so he could stare in her eyes.

"You. Will. Fail." He told her. "It would be so much easier if you would give in now, otherwise I'll have to get nasty." Secretly he didn't want her to give in, not just yet. He was having too much fun. But if she did, then he could move faster with his plans…still. "Your friends will, are falling. As we speak, I'm stealing more personalities from you, and your friends? You've seen my memories; you know what I'll do." His voice was menacing.

Raven was disgusted, but she felt herself slipping away and knew that to be true. She had everything she was going to get. This Jordan, it was something. She felt a pang of fear as she realized that Star and Beast Boy were fending for themselves.

She looked into Psimon's eyes, and kicked him in the groin. He growled, but his concentration had broken and she was free. She dashed as fast as she could to the doors back to her own mind.

Psimon was utilizing the fact that this was his brain, by creating constructs to shoot her down. Catapults threw flaming rocks at her, while hundreds of bow and arrows rained down on her. She felt every arrow pierce her, the heat from each volley. She just needed to get out of here.

Psimon held his arms behind him as he watched his prey try to avoid his projectiles. She felt herself getting angry, wishing she could just stop so she could blast him with her own power. See him weak. Well that would come, eventually. She got to the doors and pushed through.

"Raven!" Beast Boy called out, first joyful then worried. He saw her wounds. "Star, cover us!" She nodded, and started a barrage of star bolts. Beast Boy scooped Raven up and slid her on his back as he shifted into a cheetah and ran from the site of the battle.

"Did you get what you needed?" Beast Boy asked once they had found a safe spot. She was resting against a tree trunk.

"A bit, it'll help Cy and Rob though. I have to go and tell them." Raven said, she took deep breaths. The arrows stung, and Beast Boy was as gentle as he could be pulling them out. As they talked, he wrapped them,

"How long will that take, friend Raven, for I fear we are exposed here?" Star asked looking up and around.

"I don't know, I'll be back as soon as I can. Do, do any of you want to leave my mind?" Raven asked, she was conflicted. She was happy her friends were here and they were wonderful to be here, but it was dangerous. If they wanted to go, this would be a good time.

"But why would we do that? Psimon is coming back, yes?" Star asked, she looked confused. But Beast Boy understood what she was saying.

"No, we are not leaving you. I said it before here when you faced Anger getting loose and I'm not in the mood to change my position." Beast Boy said with a smile.

Raven nooded, "Thank you, for everything." She told them, and then slipped back into her body.

She awoke alone, she had expected this. She gently climbed from the bed, while her body didn't reflect the arrows and burns that her mind did, she was still very sore nevertheless. She made her way to the main rooms to see Cyborg still poring over data.

"Cyborg," She called softly, and Cyborg turned.

"Raven, what's going on? Did you win?" He asked excited, but she saw how bone tired he was. He grabbed the communicator and hollered, "Rob get in here!"

"Not yet," She shook her head, "I have some news that might help you though. Psimon used a guard's home to hide in. I didn't get much, he found me, but the guy's name is Jordan. I don't know if that helps or not."

Robin burst in, "Raven, Cyborg what's up?" He looked better than Cyborg had last seen him. He walked in and peered over Cyborg's shoulder.

"Jordan, he's on the prison staff. That's where Psimon is." Cyborg explained. He clicked on a few things, "Raven do you know what he looks like?"

"A little bit, I might be able to recognize him." Raven said, as Cyborg wasted no time as he pulled up four files of Jordans. They flipped through them until the third one.

"I think that's him." She said.

"Hm, if he's at the house…that's an hour commute from the prison. And from here, about two hours." Cyborg calculated quickly.

"Two hours!" Robin exclaimed. "Can you, BB, and Star last that long?" He turned to Raven.

"I guess we'll have too. It would just be a lot easier if you could find Psimon." She explained. They nodded. "I should probably get back, and you should leave." She looked around. "I think I'll just crash on the couch, there's no need for the medical scanners now."

Raven laid down, and enjoyed the coziness of the couch for a moment, she stretched feeling her joints popping. Then she went in.

"I don't care what you say; you are taking a nap for the two hours it takes to get there. I'll drive." Robin flat out told Cyborg.

Cyborg just nodded sleepily. "Okay, just," yawn, "be careful with the car." He begged in between yawns.

Robin nodded, and Cyborg barely sat down before he passed out. Robin strapped his seatbelt, and stepped on it. He took a moment to alert the police, via the communication system in the car; that they had found Psimon and were closing in.

"Anything we can do to help?" They asked. "Do you need us to clear the roads?"

"Nope, that's alright. Thanks though." Robin said, looking at the traffic of cars in front of him. He started the hover jets and kept going. They'd get there soon.

Beast Boy looked down at Raven, she had drifted to the ground and slumped down when she had synced back up with her body. He knew he should tell her about his…feelings for her. That he cared for her, more than just a friend.

He looked at her face. He wanted to stroke it, to brush her cheek. But this was not the time; he promised himself he'd tell her after the battle. Granted it seemed he did that after every battle one of them got hurt during, which was often, but he had yet to really say it.

It was just hard! He'd get the courage to say something, only for her to look at him, and he cracked a lame joke instead. It was self-sabotage, he was sure. There was no way she would even take him seriously if he continued that.

He sighed. This time he would tell her. Then if she rejected him, at least he knew. He knew he was the goofball, she probably thought he was like her little brother or something. There was no chance she would ever see him that way.

"Beast Boy! They're getting close!" Starfire yelled to him. She had been flying around, and looking around.

Then she felt a blast of energy hit her back, and she dropped like a stone into Psimon's arms. He brushed her hair behind her ear, "Shh. No need to warn the others."

Oh no! Poor Starfire!
