Raven raised her pole, looking into the deepness of the lake with profound interest. There was nothing like this in her head…
Contentment smirked
"You have to whisper something into it first, or else no thoughts will flock to it. Think of something, Rae."
The autumnal wind blew softly over the glassy water, creating beautiful ripples the made the glowing orbs dance beneath the surface. Raven sat quietly for a moment, and then whispered softly into the lure, so that the emotion could not hear her. Then with a heave she sent it flying into the water, landing perfectly in the very center of the lake.
"Good shot. Now to see what you've asked for."
Once again, the golden orbs began to swirl, and the shimmers flitted over the water like waves of heat. The orbs quickly dispersed like a frightened school of fish, leaving one orb on the lure, rotating slowly about it like it was hypnotized. Its color faded into a reddish purple. Raven's faint whisper was returned across the water.
"Ah… friendship. A good choice." The emotion smiled. Raven couldn't help but smile back, even when she felt a blush come to her cheeks. She pulled at the glowing memory, and it fought only slightly before flying into the air, once again sending droplets of water in all directions. This time it hovered for just a few seconds before bursting to life, a swirl of colors that eventually solidified into the image Raven had asked for. Raven did not, however, expect this image.
Playing silently before her was a scene she was very familiar with—Nevermore. And there, body in a shimmering rictus of hysterical laughter, was her—or, more accurately, her Happy side. And there was Beast Boy, looking so obliviously amusing, probably having told an offhand pun, the type of thing that she liked so much… Happy, that is.

Contentment drew himself up, shuffling to his feet with a slight sigh.

"He never really knew who you were before that day. And we never forgot." As the image slowly faded, his eyes remained fixed on that point in the air, where her smile had been.

"Wisdom may keep his records, and Intelligence may recall every fact that Garfield will never remember, but here… here is where we keep the memories of his heart. My brother and I lay claim to the protection of these feelings, however fleeting. They are too few for the boy." He began to walk away, and when Raven shifted as if to follow, he lifted a hand, giving her that one smile that she never seemed to see enough. At that moment, he understood her, every facet, and forgave her all of it.

"Don't get up on my account now. I know you have one more. And you need to be alone. Besides, my brother desperately needs my assistance." He quickened his pace as Humor reappeared, this time with a bag full of small, uproariously resistant cubes. It immediately burst open, freeing the chirpy tofu into the field again, much to Humor's dismay and to Raven's delight. She did not stifle her laugh, and it was the most free she had ever felt outside of Nevermore. Then her eyes fell to the liquid mirror before her, suggestions of light flirting the depths as she stared. She did have one more word. And she was glad she could see it alone. Even amongst his facets, she could not bring herself to fully let go. She whispered. The wind blew the word away, stealing it forever away in the crevices of Beast Boy's mind. And all alone, she let the line fly.

…

"Honestly Beast Boy. I don't usually have trouble out of you. The last time I saw you this moody, we encountered another side of you. I'm sure you remember. Id rather not meet that Beast again."
"Oh, jeez Robin, chill! I am just fine, pinky promise. I was just, I dunno… feeling a bit spontaneous. And come on, do NOT tell me the others didn't die laughing after I left!" Beast Boy replied, emitting a chortle of his own at the memory. Poor Robin had looked ready to explode!

Robin shook his head.

"This is exactly what I'm talking about. Approximately five minutes ago you were disrespectful, derogatory, and blatantly rude. Now you laugh it off. In fact you've been laughing at pretty much everything."

Beast Boy thought that over. He had felt pretty strange all day, what with the shudders and knocking himself around. Wow, he must have been freaking everybody out all day.

"Dude, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be all harsh and stuff, its just been a really weird day for me. Speaking of weird, have you even seen Raven today? Like, at all?" he chuckled.

"Perhaps the Raven has flown the coop. The Poe thing."

Robin rolled his eyes but remained stone faced.

" I actually haven't seen her. Not since she left the roof. Have you gone to check on her?"
" Nah… I mean, yeah… but not the roof… heh."

Robin's eyebrow rose.

…

The orbs seemed confused. It was as if they did not quite understand Raven's command, and they all swirled slowly about the bait, hesitant and uncertain. Raven thought
*I must have given them a word Gar doesnt understand... or maybe doesnt feel...*
Just as she was contemplating pulling the reel back to try again, The orbs meandered away, sinking to the bottom of the lake to sleep. All but a single, pale light, which stayed, swaying and unsure of its choice. But at last it bit, and Raven almost hurriedly reeled it in, as its color shifted, becoming an almost white shade of blue. The word, her word, reached only her ears as it returned to her from the rising orb, its usual spray of water going unnoticed.
"Love."
The orb shattered, and a brilliant image hovered over the now darkening surface of the water, too bright to discern but slowly dimming. Raven was afraid of what she'd see. Or perhaps of who she'd see.
Out of the white came an image that wrenched her heart. There she was, on her bed, crying and shaking as if her world had crumbled. There was no sound, but her head suddenly lifted, her eyes on her door. Without the sound, Raven still heard him in her head.
"Raven? It's me..."
Tears welled up in Raven's eyes, and she got to her feet, turning her back on the image and covering her face, making her way towards the hill. Behind her, the silent movie continued to play, and even as she began to run, another Raven threw her arms about Garfield's neck, holding her to him. One Raven flew away as another came to roost, and still the Beast gave her a home in his heart. Contentment had kept his word, and even as she approached he understood, and it was seconds before Raven was once again secure in green arms.
"I don't know which one you saw, but it must have been hard for the memories to choose. I'm sorry Rae, I know this is hard. But you have to let go of your fear."
"I can't," She sobbed, and Contentment held her all the tighter.
"I'm afraid you have no choice. The realm beyond ours is not as kind, and is in fact the darkest corner that borders the psyche. You must walk to that realm with no fear, or the ones inside will tear you apart."
