Chapter 7: Fallen Angels By Ansa
The night gave way to morning; the dark blue curtain over the city pulled back and let warm yellow sunlight pour in. But for Raven and Beast Boy, it did not come, the darkness did not give way, and sun did not warm their skin. The sun was blocked from any sight, and no lights provided them with any type of vision, if they were still awake. Their eyes were shut completely, their minds still adrift with dreams of the previous night. Beast Boys bed was empty, and Ravens, was quite full. Together they slept on top of the covers in each others arms. They had not made love, nor had the thought of ruining the night even crossed their minds. Instead, they had merely fallen asleep in each others, embrace, still in the clothing of last night that reeked with cigarette smoke from the club.
Raven had awoken, but still lay there, enjoying every second that she had of this moment. Facing Beast Boy, still in his arms she looked up at where she would assume his sleeping face was, the darkness making everything a dark blur. She smiled, yet, she knew he would not see but smiling anyways. She felt safe and warm inside his arms, they way he held her made her feel special, and protected in a way that no magic could provide. Her own arms had drifted away in the night, during her tossing, resting up by her mouth. Moving them up very slowly, she felt for his face. Her hands fumbled around for a while, touching his clothes and frizzled hair just before the feeling of his soft skin reached her fingers. She left them there for a moment, afraid that he might wake, but then once she was sure, she let her palm cover his soft cheek. With her hand as a guide, she closed her eyes and leaned in to wake him properly. She was nervous, she never thought she would be the one initiating a kiss, nor would she think that her first would be with Beast Boy. But, her trembling nerves were no match for her passion swelling inside her. She knew she wanted this, and she knew that Beast Boy would not argue. Just then a burst of light poured into the room as her door slid open. Even though the speed never changed, she got a sense of urgency about this. Quickly she brought her hand back to support herself up off the mattress, waking the one next to her in the process. Her hair fell in her face obstructing her view at first, but after a quick pull back, she was able to make out the outline of Robin standing in her door frame. "Robin? What is it?" He did not answer; instead, his panting gave her the signal to prepare for another battle.
"So I hear that you and Beast Boy spent the night together?" Starfire began her usual, meaningless chit chat as the team made their way to the scene. Raven the only other flying at the time was the target of a quick conversation. "Who told you that?" "Robin." Again, Raven scowled, she had seen last night as something pure, something she never wanted cheapened. Of course most would assume this to be something it wasn't, and Robin coming across it, didn't help. "Well, whatever you are thinking it didn't happen okay?" "I don't understand." "What?" "Didn't you two go out dancing?" Raven blushed, she might have jumped the gun and made things more complicated then they had to be. "Oh.yeah we did." "Why, what did you think I was referring to?" "Nothing." Raven could tell that would not stand with Starfire, her mind desperately racing to find a way to steer the conversation into another direction. Meanwhile, Beast Boy was having his own problems on solid ground. "So, I hear you and Raven spent the night together huh?" Cyborg cracked a menacing smile while running beside a green-shaded cheetah that for a brief moment reverted back to its human form. "What? Who told you that?" "Robin. But I gotta say, I never thought you and her would." "Hey, it's not what you think man!" "Sure it isn't, you animal!" Beast Boy growled only to be interrupted by Robin's face pushing through between the gap separating him and Cyborg. "That's enough you two; we got a job to do." As soon as his words made connection, a large figure grew in the distance. The horizon fell with each step they took, but no matter how close they got to it, the figure still seemed to grow in size. But this was not the usually growing in size as you approached someone from afar, this seemed more of a drastic amount of growth. Finally, the creature came into view, about the size of a street light, and as wide as the entire street. His skin, if you could call it that, was a dark red, almost black in some areas. Eyes were not existent, only a large gaping mouth was present on what was assumed to be its face. The arms that protruded from its body were as wide as a station wagon, reaching out and down to the streets. "What the heck is that thing?" Beast Boy quickly stopped in unison with the rest of the team, both disgusted and a bit intimidated by the behemoth that stood before him. "I don't know but it's not going far, LET'S GO TITANS!" That was always the signal, it had always been, and they all knew that there was no turning back now. There they stood before a towering mammoth of a monster, not sure exactly of how to approach it first. The flyers, Raven and Starfire, were first to attack, sending blasts of energy surging into its chest. Below them Cyborg began to work at its legs, latching on and pounding into the crimson "skin" with such force sparks were sent flying in every direction thought possible. Robin quickly used his tether to swing up and behind the creature landing a bomb on the back of its assumed neck. All of this was futile, the energy blasts were simply absorbed, sinking into the skin, illuminating it as it was absorbed. The bomb that had been attached to back of his neck had exploded, barely causing flakes to disperse, the smoke of the explosion temporary blinding it, if it is possible to blind something with no eyes. Thinking quickly, Beast Boy morphed into a giant green squid, his long tendrils reaching out to grasp the monster's flailing limbs, holding them in place long enough for his colleges to escape the onslaught of blows it threw at them. "Hold it right there Beast Boy." Raven quickly flew up behind the creature her eyes glowing an eerie white from under her hood, her hands surrounded by spheres of pulsing black magic. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." the familiar words rang in her ears as a gust of wind swirled around her, the black magic starting to pulse even stronger than before. Her hands then were laid upon its skin and soon the monster itself began to glow with her supernatural force, letting out a mighty howl of either pain or annoyance, no one was quite sure which. Quickly Beast Boy let loose his tendrils and morphed back to his human form, looking up as the monster glow a deep purple screeching loud enough to shatter the windows around them. Just then, it broke away from its agony and swung a hand out that sent Raven flying, crashing through an office building window, knocking her unconscious. Raven could see it coming, but she was only allowed a quick gasp for a response, before she could do anything, the pain surged through her as she felt a brick wall hit her entire body, her magic providing no protection. She was still left conscious for her flight down the block, other buildings streaking past her were only seen as giant grey blurs, her head beginning to bleed from the impact with its massive fist. Then came the second impact, this time with a glass window. Even though it had been with glass, at her speed it felt no different than the monsters blow. Her ears were deafened by the sound of glass around her, the shards imbedding themselves in her back and head. Finally, her final impact with the wall of the room, seemed to hurt the most, bringing a sudden halt to her speedy voyage through the air. The man inside was fortunate enough to have placed his desk on one of the far walls of the room; the only injury he sustained was that of the shards of glass. Raven, was not as lucky, it was then when she started to loose consciousness, just after she felt the warm liquid streaming down her head. Everything went black, and for the longest time, she was left to her dreams and nightmares of a long recovery.
"Hey, I think she's coming to." Raven's ears awoke before her eyes, even then only allowing her a blurred view of her surroundings at first. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that only one was able to receive the images of the sick bay at the Tower and the rest of her teammates surrounding her that is all except one. Aside from one working eye, she could also feel stiffness in her right arm, forehead, and chest. "Wha-What happened?" Raven tried to sit up only to be pushed back down by the hand of someone who could not be seen with her current functional eye. "Hold on there, just relax, you got pretty banged up there. We were worried that you might slip into a coma." "What?" Raven turned her head as far as the stiffness in her joints would allow to see Robin and Starfire sitting on to the left of her, Cyborg and Beast Boy, she assumed, would be to the right of her. "That thing hit you pretty hard; you flew about a block before you finally crashed into that office building. You had that accountant pretty shaken up I'll tell you that much." Raven tried to laugh but found she didn't have enough strength in her chest to do so. "You're going to need as much rest as you can, but you have to wait until tomorrow to get some sleep just to be sure." "Why?" "You have a slight concussion, along with a broken arm, two broken ribs, and a pretty large cut in you forehead. Not to mention the fact that you had a lot of glass in you when we found you." Raven cringed, knowing that she most likely would not get the comfort of her own bed for a while, the smell of plastic and sterile instruments would plague her senses for more then she would be able to stand. "Did we at least win?" Raven let out a loud sigh, figuring if she was going to be in sick bay for a while she might as well find out how the battle went. For a moment, Robin and Starfire looked at each other with a solemn expression on their face before answering. "Yeah, we did, but." Robins face grew more concerned all of a sudden, his voice dropping suddenly to fade off without finishing his thought, fading so quickly there was question to whether he actually intended on finishing in the first place. "What? What is it?" Raven grew more agitated when once again; no answer came to her inquiries. The agitation soon grew to worry and concern, now exactly sure what she was worried about. Robin slowly stood up and moved to the hospital curtain hanging behind him and Starfire, pulling it back slowly to reveal a second occupied hospital bed. "NO!" To her horror, the receding curtain revealed a Beast Boys bruised body, covered in bandages, and hooked up to a life support system. The IV's hanging from his arm made him look more mechanical, colder, taking away the warmth that she loved so much about him. The tears began to flow, soaking the gauze covering the eye that would not allow her other eye to see. "No.Beast Boy."
