Disclaimer: *Opens pockets* Lint...yeah, I've got that, some old chewing gum
too. If I had the Teen Titans, don't you think that would have more? (Like
golden lint?)
To the reviewers: Thanks for reading it! It makes me happy to know that what I write is appreciated. Sorry I took so long in up-dating, I had two chapters of this ready, but I re-read them, and thought they went NO WHERE. There was no point to them. So I re-wrote them. The next two chapters are probably just as useless, but it's just to pave the way to the good stuff. Thank you to those that reviewed When the Dawn Breaks. I was flattered by all the comments! It made me feel special! Anyhoo, on ward!
Anime-catdagon: Kill off cool characters huh? Thanks for the idea! Heehee!
DarkWolfBlade: You got lost reading it? Ha! I got lost writing it! *Starts giggling insanely*
Flyingpiggies: Sweet chocolate pudding...it gives me my motivation to write! Sigh, how I love it's evil fluffiness!
Angel Spirit: Hmm...to kiss, or not to kiss...I might just make you suffer! Muhahaha! *Starts coughing* I need a new evil laugh
Gravedigger PG13: Your fave? Thanks, I liked him too
Raven A. Star: You added it to your faves? I'm...I'm so HAPPY! And HONNORED! And...and...HAPPY! PS....Up-date your stories!
TamerTerra: Nah, I'm a Aussie/Kiwi. Do you think BB/R stand a chance in the series, now that Terra is on the scene? I like all couples (except S/R), I hope Raven finds someone...
Blackheart Syaoran: Go fleas, go! Anyway, UP DATE! I love your stories! Please? PLEASE???
Writerofthefuture: I loved him too...sniff
Noriaki Kakyoin: Finally, someone told me what was wrong about it. What can I say? Action scenes aren't my strong point. As for the title...you can never have to many forevers
Following Shadows-Chapter 12: A Sister's Curse
Raven looked out at the sunset, and then back down at the mirror in her hand, watching as it reflected the golden light.
Eclipse was dead.
Bitterly she looked down from the rooftop to the burning beacon that was her half brother floating out to sea.
She had ventured into the portal of her mind, not wanting to be by herself. The other versions of her had not been helpful.
## FLASHBACK ##
Standing by the Forbidden Door, Raven could hear the sound of someone crying. Walking along the rocky path, she soon came across Timid, who was just sitting there, her face blank.
"Where are the others?" Raven asked, not bothering to say hi. The pale, sad reflection of her looked up, blinking away her tears. "I don't know," she whispered. "I've been here, waiting for Happy. She said she'd come back, but she hasn't. She doesn't like me anymore. She said she'd come back. None of us have seen her since... since..." Her lip began to wobble dangerously.
Raven nodded and continued walking. Entering a large library, she found Intelligence reading a thick book on Plato's Theory. Looking up, the quiet, smarter persona of her spoke. "She's not in here, I'm afraid. You're going to have trouble this time. Normally she's bouncing around, making a mess of things and laughing her head off. But now..." She paused and gave Raven a hard look. "I'm sure that you understand the situation. Eclipse was a kindred spirit to Happy, and now that he has been disposed of... well, you have the idea."
Turning, Raven was about to walk out when Intelligence stopped her. "Another thing, don't spend to much time with that Robin creature. What you two have been doing is mucking up all of us. It's dangerous for the balance."
"I understand." And with that she set off again.
Finding her way to Happy's domain with the help of Brave, Raven walked through the barrier.
Instead of the colourful, pink and yellow landscape that Raven was use to, the area was a stark map of grey and black. Listening carefully, she could hear sobbing.
"Happy?" Raven asked, unsure of where to go. "Happy? We really need to talk!"
"Go away" croaked an eerily familiar voice. "I want to be alone."
"Happy? What you're doing to me is stuffing up the balance!" Raven called. "You've got to cheer up! Be happy! Paint pink bunnies! Please Happy!"
"No!"
A black cloaked figure stepped out from the shadows. "Everything is going wrong! I can't stand it!"
Raven approached her, hand outstretched. "Happy, I know that Eclipse's death has upset you, but we're all upset! He was our brother!"
"Why?" Happy moaned, sinking to her knees. "Why did he have to go?"
Kneeling down beside her, Raven whispered, "Because our father took him." Her voice growing stronger, she stated, "If we're going to beat him and get revenge for Eclipse, then I need you to be happy. I need to laugh, even if it's only inside my head."
Happy gazed up at her, tears welling up in her eyes. "But I miss him"
Raven felt her own eyes mist up. "So do I. But think of the good times, think of his jokes, even if they were as bad as Beast Boy's."
Happy gave a watery laugh. Slowly, the realm began to fade to its original brightness.
Going back to the Forbidden Door, all of the various other emotions of her came to wave her off.
"Come back soon!" Gushed Happy. She still wasn't as bubbly as before, but Raven knew that in no time she'd be laughing.
Disgusting burped as Intelligence elbowed her. Leaning close to Raven's ear, Happy whispered, "Tell Robin I said hi!"
Raven just sighed as Happy really laughed.
## FLASHBACK ENDS ##
Instead of burying him on the island, Raven had wanted to cremate him, send his body out to the water, then light it on fire. The other Titans agreed, watching as she lit the wood, and pushed the boat away. They had all stood there, Raven floating above the water, and watched as Eclipse made his last journey. Not one of them had really even known him, but they stayed out of respect for their friend, who said nothing. One by one they left, leaving Raven by herself.
Now she was on the roof, trying to meditate, but still looking out for the now tiny speck of fire on the water.
Trigon had won. He had destroyed part of the only real family she knew.
How long until he came after the Titans?
How long until it was Beast Boy's grave she was standing by? Starfire's? Cyborg's? Robin's?
She hadn't even noticed that someone was standing behind her till she heard Starfire's voice.
"Friend Raven? Will you not come down and join us for the evening meal?"
Not even turning, Raven just said, "No Starfire. I wish to be alone."
She thought that the other girl had left, when Starfire sat down beside her. She didn't say anything, just watched the sun pouring golden colours across the island.
Raven tried to center her thoughts, but Starfire sitting beside her was a distraction. Starfire's feelings were a distraction.
In an unusually soft tone, Raven said, "Thank-you Star. I know you want to help, but I really need to be alone."
Starfire nodded, still watching the sunset. Then she spoke up.
"I have not lost a close relation as you have, friend Raven. And I am most upset for you, but on my planet, there is a tale that once a loved one has past their time, they still remain with us. If not in body, then in heart." She smiled sadly at Raven as she stood up. "I shall inform the boys that you will not be dining with us. Remember, I am here if you wish to cry upon my shoulder."
And with that, she floated back down the stairs.
Raven continued to meditate, her thoughts drifting to Eclipse. He had been a pain in the arse, he had annoyed her friends, and he managed to destroy any trust her cat may have had in strangers.
But she still missed him.
******************************
Her room felt cold and empty when she went back later that night. Her normal mirror, the one that had been broken, still needed replacing. Placing her mind's portal down on the draw, Raven went to her wardrobe. Quickly flicking through the selections, she found the white cloak that Starfire had given her for Christmas.
Throwing the one she already wore off, Raven put on the white one. It nestled on her shoulders, the material giving her an odd... calming emotion. Finding a piece of paper and a pen, she wrote a letter of apology to the others.
Going to the door, she stopped.
She had forgotten about Nightwing.
"Nightwing?" She whispered, checking under her bed. "Nightwing?"
"Meow"
He was by her door, motionless. What should she do? Raven couldn't take him, but she couldn't leave him here either.
She might never return.
Moving to pick him up, he started hissing at something behind her.
"You bitch" hissed a deadly voice.
Turning, Raven came face to face with Jinx. The pink-haired witch was standing by her open window, the light from out side showing her tear- streaked face.
"What do you want Jinx?" Raven managed to ask calmly.
"You killed my sister," Jinx's fists tightened. "You destroyed our school, and you killed my sister."
Raven said nothing.
Her rage controlling her, Jinx threw a bolt of pink energy at the Goth.
Dodging it, Raven didn't retaliate. As much as she disliked the girl, Jinx had lost her little sister.
Throwing a few more streaks of power at her, Jinx screamed, "Why won't you fight!"
"Because... I... understand you," Raven puffed. She was having trouble avoiding being hit.
"How could you understand me?" Spitting the question out, Jinx flipped forward and landed in front of her. Trying to aim at Raven's head with her punches, she grew angrier. "You're a super-hero. You'll never understand!"
Unleashing a wave of energy, Jinx managed to send Raven flying through the door, and out into the hallway.
Picking herself up, Raven winced. The bruises that had formed due to possessed Eclipse slamming her against the wall, were hurting all over again.
Stepping out from her room, Jinx snarled. "Prepare to die, Witch!" Raising a glowing hand, she was about to fling her deadliest curse at her, when a green cheetah knocked her over.
"Yo Dark Girl! You ok?" Helping her up, Cyborg looked down at her, his concern showing. Not even answering, Raven focused her powers on Beast Boy.
"Hey, what's-"
WHACK!
He landed on Cyborg.
Picking up Jinx, Raven called to the two, "This is my fight! Stay out of it!"
And then both girls vanished.
"Cyborg! Beast Boy! Are you two alright? What happened?" Robin asked, running up to them with Starfire close behind.
"Raven was... attacked, by that pink-haired freak, Jinx" Beast Boy muttered, picking himself up. "We were walking along, when she was thrown out of her room."
Looking at the spot where Raven had just been, his eyes narrowed. "We tried to help her, but she just ignored us and left with Jinx."
"Left with Jinx?" Starfire's eye's widened. "Why would she leave with that horrible person?"
"Not like that, Star" Cyborg growled. "He means Raven and Jinx have gone and continued their fight without our interference. Dark Girl didn't want our help"
Robin looked down at the fallen door, then up at Cyborg.
"We have to find her," He said. "Before she's killed."
The meta-human nodded.
***********************
"I hate you!" Jinx kicked out at Raven and missed. Still not fighting back, she just flipped around nimbly.
"Urgh!" Becoming fustrayed, Jinx dropped to the ground, panting. Staring daggers at Raven, she hissed, "If I can't get you awake, then I'll kill you asleep."
A shock of power ran through Raven, and she clutched her head in pain.
Her vision starting to go fuzzy, she just watched as Jinx picked herself up, and left.
Things were becoming difficult for her to focus on, when a pair of black gloved hands shot out to help her.
"Are you alright?" Asked a male voice.
She didn't answer but tried concentrating on his face. There was something about him that seemed, familiar.
"I'll take you...home."
She could feel the sensation of being picked up, but the darkness called to her, and she blacked out.
*******************
Placing her by the entrance, the man paused. He shouldn't leave, not yet, but one of the Titans were coming, and awkward questions would be asked. No, best he leave now, before they came.
Before they found out.
*******************************
"Where would they have gone?" Beast Boy asked, checking over the map he held in his hand.
Robin frowned. "They could be anywhere, the City Park, the harbor-"
"Outside," Commented Cyborg grimly, walking in with an unconscious Raven slumped in his arms.
"Raven!" Beast Boy cried, shocked at her limp form.
"Where was she?" Robin's heart was thumping, but he ignored it.
"Outside like I said. She was lying right in front of the door." His mouth tightened. "She needs medical help now. Her stats are dropping so fast that she'll be dead in half an hour if she doesn't get it soon."
"Take her to the Med. lab. We can do an assment there." Cyborg left before Robin had even finished.
"Beast Boy, contact Star and tell her that we've found her." Leaning on the bench he sighed heavily.
Beast Boy just stood there, frowning. "Why should I? You're the one who's meant to be in love with her. I want to go help Raven. Or are you going to be the hero and save Raven instead of Star for once?"
The Boy Wonder turned, and glared at Beast Boy dangerously. "Go contact Starfire now."
The changeling's muscles tightened, then he walked off, taking a communicator.
Looking at the calendar, Robin realized that tomorrow would be Valentines Day. Remembering the white orchids he had ordered for Raven, his chest tightened painfully.
Why were things going so wrong?
***********************
Raven was standing by a fiery pit, the heat from the flames unbearable. Standing in the furnace, was her brother.
"Eclipse!" She cried. "Eclipse?"
"Raven? Raven! Help me!"
"I can't!"
"Raven! Raven! RAVEN!"
She tried to block the horrible sound of his dying screams, but failed.
"RAVEN!"
*********************
"How long has she been shaking like that?" Robin asked Cyborg, his gaze never leaving Raven's face. The dark girl was shivering uncontrollably, her body dripping with sweat.
"An hour," Cyborg replied. Handing a chart to Robin, he muttered dully, "She's dying"
Taking the chart, Robin noticed a red line above Raven's blood stats. "What is that?"
Cyborg twitched. "That's a sample of toxin in her system. That's the stuff that's killing her."
"Is there a way we could..."
"Help her? Nope. I've never seen a substance like it." He watched the computer screen displaying her heart rate.
"Jinx did this," Robin muttered.
Cyborg turned to him. "Well, I suggest you find her quick, cause the what she's done to Rae..." He trailed off.
Robin gritted his teeth.
