I don't own anything about the Teen Titans except a few stories and a
lot of drawings of them. This chapter might be the most romantic and
frightening chapter of them all. Enjoy!
Chapter 5
Love, Kiss, and Revenge
" Do you think she'll be okay?" Beast Boy asked as he strolled from side to side, in front of the couch that Raven laid upon.
" Don't worry, she'll awake when the time comes," Robin answered as he placed a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. A disgusting smell had drifted into the room.
" Is Star making her usual Pudding of Sadness?" Beast Boy questioned Robin while plugging his nose.
"Yes."
" But why?"
" Because she feels sorry for you."
"Oh."
" You know," Robin said, wanting to change the subject and not talk about the disgusting pudding, " I think you should tell Raven how you feel about her."
" I did tell her that I liked her, and I did give her a little kiss at the dance."
" I saw the kiss, but you told her that you like her, or did she force it out of you?"
" She forced it out of me."
" Well maybe you should confess to her that you like her past friendship."
" Maybe I should. And the kiss?"
" Make it ..." Robin began but was soon cut off from a groan that seemed to come from the couch. Raven had just awoken and was trying to sit up when pain shot up her back.
"Owwww!"
Beast Boy had walked over to her, apparently glad that she was awake.
" Beast Boy," she said, gritting her teeth as she tried to lay back down, " I'm glad that you're here. I wanted to tell you..um Robin, could you leave? I want Beast Boy and I to be alone for a few minutes so I can talk to him in private."
" Uhhhhh, sure," Robin said as he walked away, smiling.
Raven looked at Beast Boy, who was now sitting next to her, and felt her heart swell up with emotion. She tried to block her emotions, but soon gave up for her emotions were invincible and always won the battle between her and them.
" What do you want to talk about?" Beast Boy questioned her as soon as Robin was out of sight.
" About that bizarre event that had taken place at the dance," she said in her monotone voice. Beast Boy's expression was now far more than concern when she had finished saying this.
" What about it?"
" I wanted to tell you that I had a dream about that event."
" A dream?!" he said in shock.
" Yes, a dream." Her face became stern.
" Ohhh, so you saw the whole thing happening in your dream."
" Yes."
" And it actually happened."
" Yes."
" Did you ever wonder what it was trying to tell you?"
" Yes, I have."
" And you didn't have a clue?"
" No."
" Until now?"
" Yes."
" Well, what did it try to tell you?"
" It tried to tell me that Slade is back, and is planning his revenge against us even as we speak," she said, her voice growing sterner by the minute. Beast Boy's expression had changed from concern to horror. He decided to change the subject. " Can we please talk about something else?" he asked. Raven stared at his face. She could clearly see that terror had swept over him.
" Okay," she agreed, feeling slightly better that she agreed and had not refused. Beast Boy leaned closer to her, as though he were falling towards her. " Ummmm, Raven?" he said, leaning even closer to her that he felt his stomach collide with hers.
" What?" she asked as she tried to back away from him, but since all of his weight was on her, she couldn't budge.
" I just wanted to say that," Oh c'mon BB you could do this, " That I-I love you." He slowly placed his lips on hers. Raven lay there frozen for 20 seconds. No reaction came from her until she started to move her bottom lip around his. Love and happiness swept over her. Sadness, loneliness, and fear were all wiped away from her. Her emotions accidentally turned on the radio. Romantic music burst out of the radio as they continued to kiss. Raven glanced at the clock. It was 11:00 p.m.
" I'd better be going to bed," she said as their lips finally parted.
" Okay," Beast Boy said as he got up and turned the radio off.
Raven disappeared into the darkness as Starfire walked in with a bowl full of pudding.
" Here's the Pudding of Sadness that I have made for you,' she said as she shoved the pudding into his hands.
" Uhhhhhhh, thanks Star," he said. He dumped it into the nearest trashcan as soon as she was out of sight. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Raven was about to enter her room when all of a sudden, a hand grabbed her arm tightly. She turned around to see the stranger who grabbed her arm. She couldn't figure out who the intruder was because his body was cast in shadow, but could see the outline of his one eye.
" Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos!" Beast Boy heard Raven shout and quickly went to see if she was okay. He was shocked to see Raven being strangled by the stranger. " Stop choking her Slade or you'll have to go through me!" Beast Boy spat.
Slade turned his head around to face him. " Stop choking her? What kind of fool do you take me for? I never surrender to anybody without a fight, especially a member of the Teen Titans. Get Him!" he shouted as three shadowy figures strolled towards Beast Boy.
Beast Boy dodged the purple rays that came from Jinx, the gadgets from Gizmo, and the fists from Mammoth to get Slade. As he lunged at Slade, a pair of Mammoth's fists hit his head. He fell to the floor, his vision very blurry. The figures of Slade, Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth, and the choking Raven slowly faded away. A few seconds later, he lay on the floor unconscious.
4 hours had passed as Beast Boy became conscious. He glanced around the empty room.
" She's gone," he whispered to himself, " They've kidnapped her." He began to cry. He buried his face into his hands. After 1 minute, he slowly raised his face out of his hands. His face showed anger as he clenched his fists.
" I'll get her back," he said as he raced toward the door and into the darkness.
