Chapter 10
Raven woke to the sound of knocking on her door, she rolled over to look at her clock. It was four o'clock in the morning. 'What the hell do you want!' Raven thought to herself but decided to get up and answer the door instead of yelling at her visitor. No need to risk it being an emergency or something and it be Robin standing on the other side of her door. The boy blunder would definately get his tights in a bunch if she snapped at him in that scenario. Opening the door she found Beastboy looking at the ground in jogging clothes, "I...um..I have something to show you get some clothes on." Raven raised an eyebrow, but shut the door to put on some clothes for the day ahead of her. She pulled out a pair of black running shorts as well as a gray tank. She looked in the mirror and noticed that her sports bra's straps were showing but she realized she didnt care and headed out the door.
Wordlessly the two headed towards the garage where Beastboys green motorcycle, a nice upgrade from his moped, sat. "It's not too terribly long of a ride, we can just take this." Raven looked unsure but decided to take a chance and grabbed a helmet that was waiting in Beastboy's outstretched hands. She climbed on the back, and wrapped her arms around Beastboy and they took off. They drove along the costal highway till they got out of the city and Beastboy pulled off into a small parking lot that served as a scenic overlook. Raven slid off the bike first and looked towards the vegitation that surounded the lot. She looked closely and saw a lightly worn path weaving up the hill side. "Lace your shoes good Rae." Said Beastboy giving her a fanged grin as he crouched and checked his shoes. Raven followed suit and then they headed up the path.
They jogged at a leisurely pace, not rushing, but not slowing up the process. It was just dawn and every now and then Raven noticed a slight shade difference in the sky. Suddenly Beastboy came to a halt and turned towards her. "Close your eyes Raven." "What?" Raven looked at him in disbelief of his odd request. "Just trust me Rae, it's a surprise." Raven shifted back and forth but broke under the pressure of Beastboys stare, with a sigh she let her eyes slide shut. She stood still, and could feel Beastboys hesitation as he reached out and gripped her hand leading her in slow steps up the path.
Beastboy led her up the path in silence so when he suddenley spoke it startled Raven. "Don't peak Rae, we're here but its not perfect yet. Just wait." Raven agreed with her silence and stood with her eyes shut for a few moments longer. Beastboy then grabbed her shoulders and turned her, she could feel him standing behind her, and she felt his breath on her ear as he whispered to her. "Go on Raven open your eyes." Raven let her lids fly open and stood in shock as she took in the scene before her. She was currently staring at the pacific ocean, turned purple and orange by the rising sun. Out in the waters boats bobbed up and down and birds swooped across the top of the water to retrieve their breakfast. It was magnificent, definately not the same sunrise she had seen from the tower roof a thousand times. This was amazing this is something she would always remember. Her legs ached from the hike, she had been short of breath even before this sight made her breathless, but this made it all worth it. That is what made this so pleasing.
Beastboy drooped his arms around her shoulder without any resistance from her and squeezed her to his side. "Amazing right? The first time I ever came up here was right after Terra left. I needed to see something that would outshine her, so I would kno she wasnt the most amazing thing I would ever see. She wouldn't make me feel the best I'd ever felt. I got that." Raven looked at Beastboy, not sure what to think about this side of her team-mate. She decided that after making that kind of confession he just needed her to be there for him. So Raven leaned into him, and he held her tighter.
The two were brought out of their embrace by Raven's communicator sounding, flipping it open she founder herself looking at the face of Starfire. The extremly concerned face of Starfire. "Star whats wrong?" "Robin just asked me out, as just friends. What does that even mean?" Raven looked at Beastboy with a confused face. "I don't even know what that means, you wanna take this." Beastboy took the communicator out of her hand and walked a little ways away from her. He turned to her, smiled and gave a thumbs up as he walked back over to her. "We need to get home, you need a shower before you go shopping with Starfire." "Okay...wait what?" "You told me to fix it, so I told Star that id Robin is being a dumbass she needs girl time. You are a girl, so it just kinda worked out." Raven looked at a nervous Beastboy, knowing that he did it out of the goodness of his heart. "Forgiven." Was all she said before taking off down the path infront of Beastboy. Beastboy stared after her before repeating "forgiven" under his breath, with that he took off down the path behind Raven.
Arriving at the tower Raven decided to give Beastboy a little more grief and teleported up to her room instead of riding the elevator with him. Once in her room, though he came and knocked even after she was out of the shower, she ignored him. She even went as far as waiting until Starfire came to get her so they could leave. As they left, however, Beastboy approached Raven and went to say something, but Raven staopped him in his tracks. As the elevator doors closed between them she smiled at him, and that was good enough for him.
Raven and Starfire arrived at the mall by flight, dropping down in a crowd of people, most of which were used to it. A few years ago the people would stare, point, or talk under their breath. Now, however, they smiled and waved at the two familiar teens as they walked in the front doors. Once inside Raven came to a hault, and Starfire stopped to look at her. "What is it friend? Are you not comfortable?" Raven looked at Starfire not sure what to say. "Kinda, I mean I'm use to going in getting what I need and getting out. But today isnt about me, it's about you." Raven felt sure of her answer and was rewarded wit a smile from Starfire. "Let's do the spree of shopping!" Raven sighed warrily as Starfire gripped her arm and the adventure began.
"We must go in here friend Raven, they are having a sale." Said Starfire gesturing to the store. Raven had been in every store in the mall, she had even bought some clothes, but this was taking it to far. "No Star." Raven said firmly as she took in the pink decore of the store she was standing in front of. "But, Raven..." Starfire trailed off with a pout, but Raven still held her ground there was absolutely no way in hell she was going in this store. "I thought today was about me." Ouch that one hurt, she sure knew where to aim for someone who came off so innocently. Raven looked at the sign beside her, then to her friend who was looking incredibly disapointed. "Fine I'll go in with you." "Great friend Raven! We must purchase the intimates in the Secret of Victoria!" Raven looked around with a blush as a few onlookers stared at her and Starfire. Great now not only did she have to go in, she had to buy things. Classic Starfire move, although Raven had to admit, she waasnt really hating the idea of making a few more purchases today.
Well thats all I have got! Hopefully I will have more soon!
