We've come a long way. Thanks so much for reading this far, everyone! And how I love every single one of you, oh faithful reviewers! Without feedback, I'm sure I would have put this story to the side. This is the first chapter fic I've ever completed. (I had a few one-shots on another screen name.) Again, I'm so glad this story was enjoyable to you. Be on the lookout for my next pieces. I'm not sure whether or not my next fic will be a BBxRae, but we'll see. If you have any ideas of what you'd like to see a story about though, feel free to let me know, okay? :)

Well, without further ado…*drumroll* Here's chapter 10! Enjoy the read. Still don't own anything (DC), believe it or not.

Oh, oh. And here's another

**WARNING! Explicit shiz is about to go down. Prepare those eyes.

6 months after the Brain had escaped and Monseiur Mallah is sent to prison

...

Her body was uncomfortable; she moved in her sleep with a furious angst as she fought away the nightmare. Her purple locks fell onto her face at times, only to be blown away once more by the rapid bursts of air that escaped her lips. She sighed and groaned miserably in her unconsciousness until Garfield sensed her distress. Beside her, he roused to the sound of ruffling sheets.

When the man realized what was happening, he quickly sat upright and pulled the bird into his arms, embracing her tightly and murmuring in her ear.

"It's alright, baby, it's alright. You're having a bad dream. Wake up," and her eyes would snap open to the comforting symphony of his voice. She caught her breath and pressed into the warmth of his chest.

"Oh Gar, I don't know how much longer these night terrors will last. Every time I close my eyes I can feel my body being tortured again—I can see that ape's cruel glare. I feel creatures shuffle past my feet. And—and sometimes…I see you killing him. I see you as the Beast, tearing Mallah to shreds right before my eyes…"

Garfield never had the heart to tell her how difficult it was to resist his prey that day. He honestly and fully intended to enjoy the meal before him. Instead of admitting these thoughts, he said,

"Whenever you have these dreams, I'll be right here beside you. You aren't alone anymore, Raven. I promise you that. I will never let harm come to you again. Do you understand me?"

Without looking into the changeling's eyes, the demoness nodded. His fingers pulled her chin up until her amethysts clashed into his forests.

"I said, 'do you understand?'"

Raven looked into his eyes and saw the sincerity within them. She knew that there was no one in the universe that she trusted as much as the man before her.

"Yes, darling, I understand."

The green man's eyes softened, and he kissed his lover's lips. They settled back into the comfort of the bed then, and stared at the ceiling together. Garfield's fingers stroked Raven's soft hair and he planted kisses on her forehead every now and then. Just as sleep nearly took them both, a question came into the mind of the changeling. He suddenly spoke,

"Raven, how do you so easily contain you inner demons?"

The girl quickly awakened to the question and thought for a time before replying,

"It's no easy feat, Garfield. I have to meditate every day to keep things under control, and it's still a fight. I've practiced all the days of my life to contain the monster I was destined to be, and at first, I was frightened by the thought of what evil potential awaited me. I ran away from who I was…I ran from Azarath to protect the people that hated me for a prophecy that was written before I was ever born.

"Even after my father enslaved the world, I finally came to a realization… Half-demon or not, this is who I am. I think that's how I became my normal age again, might I add." The girl paused to chuckle at the thought. She could recall Robin finding her as a child, and she remembered the rush of her full strength gather into her being as a sudden bravery within her surged.

"You see, in that moment I realized that there is no escaping who you are. You should never be ashamed of something you can't change. It's silly to do so, really. So…when I accepted myself…I decided then that solely I am the maker of my future—my decisions are my own. I don't have to follow a path that I don't want to because no one can make me do anything. I suppose that is how I control the constant battle. I suppose that is the human side of me; the part that wills never to give in to temptation." Again, Raven paused, to look into the eyes of Garfield. His brows were furrowed as he pondered her words.

"Did that answer your question, love?"

"Yes. Yes it did. And it also made me realize something, myself."

"What's that?"

"All of what you just said? That is why I love you—because you aren't afraid to be your beautiful self. I wouldn't have you any other way…"

Once more, their lips met, a pleasant warmth pervading their senses. Garfield's arms surrounded Raven's waist, his fingers against the skin of her back where her shirt did not meet. She moaned very softly into his mouth when his hands moved up her backside. Their kiss was gentle at first, but it grew quickly, a ravenous hunger easily forming in the depths of the two.

Raven's top was the first thing to go, leaving her exposed breasts vulnerable and for the green man's taking. She mirrored the gesture, pulling Garfield's shirt up and over his head. Her hands dug into his hair as she crawled atop him, straddling his hips. His hands roamed her incredible body as their chests pressed together. Raven moved against the man's crotch, and the result was to both of their pleasure. He hardened beneath her as she moved her hips the way she did. His hands gripped her waist encouraging the movement.

Garfield pulled her forward until her breasts were right above his face. He took them into his mouth and she moaned, grinding harder against his member. Garfield could feel her wetness begin to seep through her panties. It aroused him all the more. Raven pulled her chest from the changeling's mouth and replaced them with her lips. The air about them was becoming so erotic that it was incomparable to any other moment the two shared.

She continued to kiss him, even as her lips trailed down to his neck. He exhaled and his breathing hitched—this made Raven's lips curl into a smirk as his eyes watched her move downward.

Down—onto his chest and along his abs. Her lips were soft and warm as she left wet spots atop his torso. Down—to his waistline—and her fingers tugged at his sweats. Her free hand moved across his sculpted abdomen as she began to remove his pants. Even through his underwear, his erection was brilliant, in Raven's opinion. She teased him through the cottony fabric, running her lips among his member. He sighed and his breathing quickened at the simple touch. How much he wished for her to take his cock into her hot, wet, mouth…

Garfield placed his hand gently on her head as encouragement. Instead of obliging, she continued to tease him. She pulled the underwear over the head of his manhood and pressed her tongue against it. He groaned and cursed beneath his breath. He was going to go mad if she continued to toy with him in this way. Just as he opened his mouth to warn her of this fact, Raven pulled Garfield's manhood free of confinement and took it into her mouth.

"Ohhh, Raven…!"

The girl used both, her hands and her mouth to please her lover until he began to thrust his hips along with her movement. Raven pulled away and together the two of them removed the last of their clothes.

When they were completely exposed before the other, they shared a long kiss and whispered how much they loved one another before connecting. Garfield entered her causing a mutual moan between them, and they made love—sweet, simple, and pure until climax. For Garfield, of course, he would pull out at the last possible moment, with certainty that his beloved had experienced a finish as well.

They lay still, breathing heavily, and the moonlight seeped through the window onto their moistened skin.

"You are beautiful, my little bird." The green man said.

"You are beautiful too, Garfield," Raven replied, kissing his cheek. They looked into one another's eyes before the shape-shifter spoke again.

"Rae, I was thinking."

"Mm."

"Well, I'm not exactly a kid anymore. 'Beast Boy' seems a little silly, don't you think? I think its time to change my name as a Titan."

"What did you have in mind?"

"What do you think about 'Changeling'?"

Raven was thoughtful for a moment, and she pictured the name in battle as the five heroes fought side by side. She turned to look once more upon the greenery within his astounding gaze. She displayed a half smile just for him, and chimed,

"It's perfect."

Hope you liked it. c:

Just wanted to make a side comment—be yourself; learn from what Raven said here in this chapter. It applies to anyone and everyone. Society should never change who you are defined as. Just do you, so long as you're not doing anything that may harm someone else. Okay, I'll go before I get too deep on ya. xD Have a great one, everybody! Don't forget to give me ideas (if you have any) for the next story!

-with love, theambiguousyayo
