Chapter 6: Destiny

~~~~~ *Gasps* I KNOW I UPDATED! Yay! And yes I know, Suzaka, that EVERY time Raven's papa's(Trigon's to be precise) eyes aren't there and that he was loose in her body and blah blah blah.... BUT... This time I said they do! Oh and that's the point... Destroying her emotions, so she'll be one of those people called... "Vegietables" or something who don't do anything and live in phyco houses. AND of course I know Trigon's her father, man! Lol, I read it somewhere and then in the episode she says: "Let's just say, I have issues with my father." BUT let's just see if I make Raven a phyco, shall we?(Not to insult phyco people, Im just SAYING I *might* make Raven one of those vegietables people.. Tehe... Whoa, what a concidance.. a Vegie Tales comercial just came on... o.O) ~~~~~

Beast Boy had just nearly gotten through the door when his animal-like ears pricked up to an awkward sound. Something breaking? He shrugged it off, asuming it was nothing, and went back to his walk. It was a crisp fall morning. This season had just begun, so the leaves of the trees were not purely the colors of fall, but were tinted brown and golden shades as of the moment. BB had noticed this and had also noticed it was considerably cold outside, so he was freezin' his little tush off!(A/N: That was unexpected... o.O) As he continued on with his walk, he past near the ocean front where a salty breeze would lightely graze past his face. No one was out, except for a couple dog-walkers, at this time in the morning, which BB was thankful for... Except for the fact that everytime he passed a dog it would try to sniff his butt and then the owner would pose a great apology. Well, to put it simply he was thankful that there weren't any little pre-schoolers runnin' around, with their freaky little shreiks of laughter and abdundance that almost sounded a quite a bit evil. But, as of the moment, Beast Boy's eyes weren't really set on the subject of evil toddlers. He was of course thinking of how bad he must have made Raven feel. BB had almost made his way into the city park, by now where a two elderly men were perched on a bench feeding a couple of pidgeons. "Okay..." Beast Boy decided quite loudly, the two elders turning their attention towards him. "I'm never gonna' get anywhere I keep sitting back. Today is the day I tell Raven I... I didn't mean what I said... And that I'm really sorry...And that I DO love her..." he trailed off.

"Atta' boy, Sonny!" BB turned his head to the source of the voice, which was one of the old men. He raised a eyebrow and smiled awkwardly at the guy. Then he was OFF TO THE TOWER.

As Beast Boy returned to the tower he passed through the kitchen/living area, silently, and strolled into the hall triumphantly. He knocked on Raven door. No response. Another knock. STILL no response. By the third knock Beast Boy was softly hissing, "Raven...? Raven? RAVEN ARE YOU THERE?!?!" BB was over-come with worry. Even if it was a violation of privacy, the morpher decided to transform into a lizard and slipped silently under the door. Morphing back, he noticed something. Something not good.

There Raven was, back flat on the ground and an arm off to the side, the other one resting lifelessly on her chest. Beast Boy scrambled to her side and began to shake her. "Raven? Raven what happened? MAN, RAVEN WAKE UP!!!!!!!" he was shaking her violently now, but there was no response. While shaking her, he noticed an item next to her. Beast Boy gasped. The mirror. Raven's mirror, the portal into her mind. He had recognized it perfectly and remembered the engraved markings on it and also, the horns. There was nothing wrong with it. It was perfectly in proper shape, not a scratch on it? Then why was Raven lying on the floor?

"Raven? Are you okay? You're still with me right? Oh shit..." BB's whispers continued onto more of a hissing sound and then said in his regular tone of voice. "Raven... I should tell you right now, that this is ALL my fault for whatever happens to you. I shouldn't have lied to you when we were on the roof. I mean... Okay, I THINK I do love you, seriously. I just didn't want us to break apart or something and never be friends again... So okay, I admitted it. I love you. You can wake up now." When she didn't arise BB grew more frustrated and worried.

"GUYS! DUDES, YOU BETTER COME DOWN HERE NOW!" BB called, referring to his teammates.

"I'M PLAYIN' ROBIN HOLD ON!" called Cyborg's voice.

"NO! NOW! COME HERE!" he screeched back. "THIS IS SERIOUS!"

The three other teammates came barging in ,unexcitedly, to BB's request. Well, more like BB's demand. When they reached the room all three of them froze. "What happened?" asked Robin, shakily.

"I don't know! I came went to check on her and I didn't hear anything, so I went under the door and I found her like this, I SWEAR." BB said most quickly.

"We are not accusing you, Beast Boy, we know you would not do such a thing." Starfire commented quietly. After this, the three stalked over to Raven and Beast Boy.

"She won't wake up." BB said sympathetically. "Should we bring her to the Emergancy Room?"

"That won't do any good... She might've just fainted. I mean, she hasn't eaten in at least three days. *

Raven's eyes fluttered open. A blinding light met her eyes and she automatically shut them again. "Raven? Are you okay?" The voice sounded faint, but she could still make out the words. Raven tried to speak, but nothing came out. She was weak, but still managed to open her eyes to see the blurry picture of Beast Boy. "We were worried..." Raven felt a warm feeling inside, relieved to hear that BB was worried about her. Then she remembered the reason why she had fanted. It was all in bits and pieces to her right now, but she still achieved the goal of remembering. There she was, just about to drop the mirror to the floor when she saw something. Something she couldn't keep from escaping her mind. It seemed like she was in a dream. Or more like a nightmare. The five of them were sitting in the living room, Beast Boy and starfire in eachother's arms... Kissing? Not like last time, though. *Really* kissing. She felt betrayed at that moment. Even though Raven assumed she was halucenating at that, it felt so real. After Starfire and her's little chat session, she thought she could trust her. Now she didn't know what to think anymore. Everything was too confusing. Starfire had already said she was in love with Robin and WHY had she seen that? There was no particular reason to in her mind.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she was now able to hear a voice again. That same voice, except this time the words were spoken more tenderly. She didn't bother to open her eyes, seeing as this might break the voice and make it stop. "Raven... I don't know why I said that to you... But I swear I didn't mean it. I mean, I don't think you heard me when I said this, and you probably can't hereme now, but I think I said that to you... Because... Well, because I just didn't want to hurt you. But, I guess I did, anyways. I'm really sorry. And the truth is..." he paused for a moment. "I DO love you." Raven's heart leaped and she felt like she was able to get up again and gather all of her strength and felt life again. Then she thought of what he had done before and how it made her her heart ache, so. Then she slowly rose and lifted her eyes open, to face a very... Very shocked Beast Boy.

"Is that so?" she replied to him a grin spreading across her face. She noticed that she had been placed on the couch in the living room and that it was clear daylight outside. The light still stung her eyes a bit, but she was pleased with the fact that she had ruined BB's "moment".

"Uh.. Yeah?" he said, awkwardly.

"Why do you have to sound like that?" she asked.

"Like what?!?!"

Raven shook her head. "You know, you really hurt me when you said that..." Raven returned to a more serious tone.

"I said sorry..." BB trailed off. "So... Do you forgive me?" Raven shook her head once more. "Is that a no?" There was a breif moment of silence and then Raven gave her answer.

"I don't know... I guess it depends."

BB cleared his throat at this and spoke up again, "Why did you faint?"

Raven blushed, deep scarlet. "No-No reason. I guess from the lack of sleep and food I'd gotten.." She quickly, lied.

"...D'you wanna' go out and get something?" BB asked nervously.

"What do you mean?" Raven asked, unreasonably, darkly.

"Like... The two of us. We can go to the pizza place or one of your cafes' or something, I guess." he told her, quietly.

"Um... Sure." she replied. Raven was relieved to let go of allof the stress that was inside of her. She caught a glimpse of a beaming BB. BB stood up and offered her an arm. Raven gave up her hands to BB and he wrapped an arm around her waist, the other holding her hand. Raven's other arm hung loose next to BB. They were both unsure of what they were doing. Raven thought she had despised the green mongrel... But he had seemed so mature about this whole situation. Now, she didn't know what to think. Then, arm in arm, the two of them glided towards the door, and continued their way out.

~~~~~ I DIDN'T make her a vegietable... It would've been fun, but... I'd lose too many readers. *Sighs* Anyways she's my favorite character! How could I ever make poor little Ravey a phyco? Tehehe... Now everyone will be happy! YAY! But it's still not over... So what shall happen next? MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
