wow-this was the shortest chapter i think i have ever written so i opted for a dream sequence to pad it out a bit.

Crashing Down-part 11

As the storm sets in later the cubs Raven named Tunguska and Roswell-in honor of Beast Boy's plan that got her away from the cave people and after his two favorite conspiracy theories- huddle close to her as thunder booms outside.

Raven lays beside them-stroking their soft fur trying to reassure them that everything is going to be okay.

Robin goes over to Starfire who watches them. "Is Raven okay?"

"I have never seen her so upset-not even when her father used her as a portal to take over the Earth." Starfire looks up at Robin. "All she wanted to talk about after she calmed down was Beast Boy's rescue plan."

"I just hope the one that-you know got the message and doesn't try coming after her."

The young male gets up looking at the rapidly clouding sky as the storm moves in on his location. The sky has spoken to him and he knows just what it is that he must do. He goes back to an area in the cliffs where the hunting party often shelters during bad weather to wait.

Raven drifts off to sleep to the soothing sounds of the storm outside. She rests easier as her fever is finally beginning to subside.

As she falls asleep she begins to dream. At first it is about what happened earlier at the cave with Beast Boy explaining she was a priestess sent by the sky gods who crash landed. The dream then progresses to the future by the lake-so sparking and clear on a warm but not overly hot night. Cool waves lap lazily at the sandy shore. As she looks around Raven finds she is standing on the steps of a large mud brick building by the lake near where her pod crash landed. Tunguska and Roswell older by many months romp playfully in the desert sand not far away rolling around what looks like a dark glass sphere with colored streaking patterns on it. Raven backs away farther down the steps as a bright ray of light shines down upon the building. It isn't just any building she realizes as she looks at up it. It is a temple. As she looks up at the sky it isn't the sun long gone for sometime casting the bright light rays-but the brightest star of the night sky-the one so bright one could read by its light. She was sent here-made one with this world for a reason. She gasps startled as the young male stands on top of it proclaiming it was built for her. Lightning flashes suddenly as she looks down at her stomach in the dream.

Raven sits up suddenly as a blast of thunder seems to shake the cave. She untangles herself from Tunguska and Roswell and gets up walking over to where Beast Boy stands at the cave entrance looking outside at the storm.

Beast Boy looks over to see Raven. "Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Why did you tell them I was sent here as a priestess?"

"I don't know. I didn't plan that part. It kind of just came out before I realized what I was saying. Why?"

"What if its true?"

Beast Boy turns to Raven. "What do you mean by that?"

"Just some dream."

"Dream?"

"Never mind-it was probably just caused by the fever." She watches a flash of twisting purple lightning streak across the sky-followed closely by an orange one then a green. "I should get back to Tunguska and Roswell."
