"Zynthonian. I see you are going to kill yourself with a meaningless effort? Do as you wish, girl. I'm leaving, but I will continue to watch your silly attempt." She clapped and dissappeared.
"Zynthonian.the same kind I use in meditation." Raven said quietly. She shook her head and stared ahead sadly at the four shimmering orbs. Here goes.she thought. Slowly, she walked up to BB's orb, placing her hand less than an inch away from it.
Chanting under her breath some kind of incantation, the orb started to dissipate. After about thirty seconds, BB could see that she was panting, like the effort was a lot of physical work. Raven continued on with her inaudible chanting. She fell to her knees, but kept on with her work. The orb slowly turned from blue to green to yellow, now turning a slight white. Raven looked up, still chanting and breathing heavily, and smiled weakly at BB.
"Azarath, metrion, zynthos!" she forced out, BB falling to the ground with a thud. Seeing as she was about to fall over unconscious or dead, BB thought of her words. Do not worry about me until you save the team! She had said to him. He nodded and shakily took a breath, watching Raven faint. He touched each of the orbs, making the life forms inside of them stir and fall to the ground. Cyborg fell like the others, but was sparking electricity, and beeps were heard because of his malfunctioning machinery. After everyone was alive and well-all for Cyborg, who was, like I said, malfunctioning-BB ran over to Raven and placed his hand under her head, cradling it gently. The crystal on her forehead glimmered in the sunlight, reflecting a small light under BB's eye just in time for anyone who was looking to see a single tear. Starfire began to walk up to him to ask what was wrong and see if Raven was okay, but Robin held out a hand to stop her for the two's privacy.
"Check on Cy instead. Leave them be until we find out if Raven is okay. You can check up on her later." He whispered to her. BB could hear him fine, but didn't care.
Slowly, BB grabbed Raven's hand. It was cold, like ice, and there wasn't a pulse. He placed a hand on the side of her neck, and he was shaking so badly that if he felt a pulse, it might have been himself shaking. His tears fell silently on her peaceful face, which itself was previously tearstained. "Guys, I don't know if she's okay or not, I'm shaking too bad to tell if there's a pulse. I'll get her up to her room, just take care of Cyborg, okay?" BB's voice was cracking, which made the situation that much more depressing. Robin looked at the ground, sighing. Starfire nodded and her eyes welled up with tears as they got to work on fanning the electricity on Cyborg.
BB turned back to the motionless Raven. Please be okay, thought BB, I love you. He hugged her close and cried into her dark purple cape. She didn't wake up, but her head lolled against his cheek. He looked up, and kissed her forehead. He sighed and picked her up, minding her neck and back. Carrying her up to her room, he could hear beeps and buzzes coming from Cy's room. BB sighed and opened the door, laying Raven down on her bed, sitting down and covering her up. She looked peaceful, yet slightly more pale than usual. She was still cold and clammy, and a pulse was not yet found. Looking for a pulse, a heartbeat, any bit of warmth, BB placed a hand over her heart, on her forehead, on each side of her neck, both of her wrists, and under her kneecaps. Nothing. BB could feel tears brimming at the edges of his eyes, but blinked them back. He placed his hand on her heart again and panted slightly out of worry. He didn't want to cry, but the urge was controlling him.
He'd lost her, the only love of his life. He'd lost her, and it was all his fault. He'd done it. He had to let her go. He had to think so much about himself in a time he should've been worrying about her. She cared for him. He heard it in her voice when she first saw him in the bubble.
"Raven, please, please, live. Please live, Raven!" he said in a panicky voice. He began to hyperventilate, but recovered quickly. He placed his hand on her forehead and felt with his last whim of hope wanting to find a pulse in her temple or a faint sign of heat. He slowly began to cry himself to slumber, laying down next to Raven, his hand still on her forehead.

"The little Goth one is dead. The green boy will probably cry himself to death, and the robo-man will shock himself until he is dead. The alien will soon realize that she can't fly or use her powers, unless the Goth girl figured out the riddle correctly, then it will not have worked. Now, wonder boy, he's a normal human, the most the Zynthonian could have done to him was weaken him and lower his strength and speed slightly. Are you happy?" As Matsuro said this, she counted the Titans off on her fingers, and placed her hands on her hips, floating slightly above the ground. Slade smiled and stood, reaching for her hand and kissing the back of it. Matsuro glared at him and yanked her hand out of his grip. Huffing, she crossed her arms and turned to the side.
"Well? Are you going to answer me or stare at me like some psycho Tamaranian?" she said impatiently. He smirked and narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Matsuro, I am very happy. Come with me." he gestured and smiled, receiving a death glare from Matsuro.
"You are such a pervert. If you will not repay me.you'll regret it." She said with a hint of warning in her voice and a sly smile crossing her pretty features. She flew off, leaving Slade to his confusion.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Starfire, I think Cy will be alright. Let's go see Raven." He gestured towards the hall, placing a hand lightly on the Tamaranian's back, leading her out of the room. When they reached the appropriate door, Robin knocked gently on the door, and opened it. He and Starfire saw BB sleeping with a tearstained face next to a dead looking Raven.
"Oh no.Raven!" Starfire said, rushing over to Raven, tears falling down her orange cheeks. She kneeled next to the girl, placing a hand over her heart. "Robin, tell me she's not dead." The said Boy Wonder walked over to the alien, placing his hand over her heart and the other on the side of her neck. He gasped, and started panting.
"I'm so sorry." He said quietly, shaking his head sadly. "She didn't make it. Please God, not Raven." He said, kneeling next to Starfire, cupping Raven's icy cold hand in his, his strongest will not to start crying.
"No!" Starfire sobbed sadly, her face buried in her hands. Robin had never seen her cry so.sadly before. He felt sorry for the poor Tamaranian.Raven was one of her closest friends, and that was saying something. He removed Raven's hand from his, and placed his arms around Star, cradling her to him, rocking her back and forth until she quieted down some.
"Oh, Robin, I can't believe she's dead!" Starfire sobbed quietly, clenching his shoulders tightly.

Ok, so it's not as long as chapter 9, but hey, I needed to stop it somewhere or it would have collided too much with the rest of my fic! MUAH HA HAHAHAHAHAHA!
