Chapter Nine
My Happy Ending
So much for my happy ending
You got a problem with helping me with the T-Car?" Cyborg slid out from underneath it. Then cursed as the drill he was about to use powered off. "Dang it! Raven, would you go upstairs and turn off the hall light, I thought I had, but I guess I didn't." Raven obliged and walked slowly up the stairs.
So much for my happy ending
What she saw next as she rounded the corner shocked her. Beastboy was kissing Terra. Raven shoved her way past them and ran up to the room with RAVEN etched into the door.
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
She (Raven) couldn't help but feel bad was it her fault that Beastboy didn't like her?
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
She reached her room and looked out at the darkening city, she had missed the sunset.
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
She saw lights turn on, neon start up, she saw the Pizza Parlor's lights turn on, she remembered when she and Beastboy went there, by themselves.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
A light bulb exploded and suddenly she wasn't in control, Rage had gotten the better of her.
All of the memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
She kicked down the comedy and tragedy statue, she knocked over her bookcase.
So much for my happy ending
A voice was heard from outside, it was Robin: "Raven, are you okay, can I come in?"
You've got your dumb friends
"I'm… We're sorry for what we did…"
I know what they say
"Raven, I have a key, I WILL USE IT! OPEN THIS DOOR!" Robin demanded.
The tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But a key was unnecessary Raven's door was engulfed by a black aura then fell, what Robin saw scared him she'd only been like this five years ago, and it was because she couldn't control herself.
But they don't know me
What has Beastboy done to make her so upset? Robin thought.
Do they even know you?
"HE DOESN'T LOVE ME AND HE NEVER DID!" Raven said in a frightening tone, everyone in the tower heard it.
All things you hide from me
"What did he do Raven?" Robin shouted trying to calm her down.
All the shit that you do
"HE DOESN'T CARE, HE LOVES TERRA, AND HE NEVER DID AND HE NEVER WILL LOVE ME!" she threw Robin against the wall across from her room.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
Timid: RAVEN STOP WE MIGHT HURT EVERYONE!
Happy: RAGE, YOU STOP THIS MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knowledge: MEDITATE DO SOMETHING, BUT YOU MUST STOP!
Love: I KNOW WHAT HE DID WAS TERRIBLY WRONG BUT YOU MUST STOP RAGE!
Rage: LISTEN TO THEM, WHINING PATHETICALLY, THEY WANT YOU TO STOP MIDWAY THROUGH YOUR VICTORY!
We were meant to be supposed to be but we lost it
All of the memories so close to me just fade away
"I WILL NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VICTORY!" Raven's voice echoed throughout the tower, but everyone was already there.
"WHAT VICTORY, RAVEN? YOU'RE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF!" Robin shouted up at the growing Raven.
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
It's nice to know that you were there
Raven's Rage saw Beastboy, and that became her new target.
Thanks for acting like you cared
"I MEANT NOTHING TO YOU, I WAS ONLY YOUR RECOVERY FOR FORGETTING HER!" Beastboy was trapped in a black aura being thrown around the hallway.
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Cyborg revved up his laser cannon, "RAVEN, I HATE TO DO THIS TO YOU BUT…"
Thanks for watching as I fall
Cyborg threw a non-fatal hit, at her stomach, she fell and hit the floor loudly.
And letting me know we were done
He was everything, everything that I wanted
Her cape's hood had been torn off and her leotard was torn to make it appear a tee-shirt, her marks of Scathe were glowing their eerie bright red.
We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it
All of the memories so close to me just fade away
The glow slowly died and she groaned quietly, Cyborg picked her frail body up and carried her into the main room, everyone following, even Terra.
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
Her eyes slowly fluttered open, she was surprised at her surroundings, she heard the other Titans (Terra included) whispering softly at the table behind her.
All of the memories so close to me just fade away
The kettle whistled begging attention.
All this time you were pretending
One voice left the group, Raven couldn't decide who though, she put a hand to her aching head, her emotions were barely there.
So much for my happy ending
She tried to lift her head, but a hand put it back down and soon black spandex was in view, Beastboy sat down on the floor next to her.
"Uh, listen, Rae, I'm sorry about what happened, I really am, so, I made you some tea." As Raven looked at him, she expected to see his usually goofy smile, but his face was straight, as he looked into her violet eyes.
"And I don't hate you, I like you, a lot, I think I may even…" Raven interrupted him by sitting up abruptly.
So much for my happy ending
"Don't even say it." she said, she jumped up and looked at him angrily.
So much for my happy ending
