Chapter ten. - Cyborgs suspicion.
Raven was wringing her hands. There was sweat on them. Her hood was down, revealing a face flushed crimson. Her eyes were narrowed, her brow furrowed in thought.
She paced up and down the room like a caged lion. The half drunk tea cup on the side had long before gone cold, and the time was well after 3.00pm.
Raven hadn't eaten anything all day. Infact, she hadnt done anything all day.
Except think.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Downstairs, Robin, Starfire and Cyborg were watching a movie. It was the Matrix Revolutions. Robin was trying to explain the different things to Star, who just didnt understand the plot. (a/n: some of my friends dont get this film ^^; let alone Starfire!)
Cyborg was relishing the fighting. He was deep in thought about the whole idea. He was confused as to which side he would be on, seeing as he was half robot, half man. He mused this topic.
"Cy?" Robin said, breaking his thoughts suddenly. "Helloooo? Cy?!"
"Yea, 'sup Robin?" said Cyborg, returning to reality, unwillingly.
"I said have you seen Beast boy or Raven today?!" Robin said angrily. He'd already said it twice.
"I saw the green dude about a half hour ago. Said he was goin' out. Why?"
"And we saw Raven this morning, Robin," chirped Starfire "Remember? At breakfast time."
"Oh yeah." Robin raised his eyebrow. "You dont think they are.....". Starfire looked quizzically at Robin. Cyborg caught the direction of the conversation easily. He chuckled.
"The green dude and the goth girl? Naw. It couldn't happen, dawg." Cy scoffed.
"Couldnt it?" said Robin, giving Cy a look. Cyborg quietly considered this.
Starfire piped up. "Robin, what do you think Raven and Beast boy are doing? I fear I do not understand what you speak of..." she trailed, looking at Robin's face, which had begun to blush furiously.
"I....uh....well...y'see Star," he began nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"You think that they have spent the day...together?" Star said innocently, her head on one side.
"Yeah...." Robin said breathing a sigh of relief, and regaining his posture a bit.
"Why is that wrong? I do not understand." Starfire pursued, looking puzzled.
"Nevermind Star. Hey, why dont'cha make some more happiness pudding to celebrate...uhh...." Robin started, trying hopelessly to avert the topic.
Cyborg chipped in, "To celebrate the end of the movie..."
Starfire grinned widely, showing all her teeth. "I shall do that!" She got up and flew (literally) into the kitchen.
Robin wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Thanks."
Cyborg smiled at Robin. "No problem, dude."
"So do you really think that it could be happening?" said Robin, intensly curious.
"I don't know, man. What do you think?" said Cyborg uncertainly.
Robin shrugged. "I wouldn't say it was impossible. Improbable, sure. But not impossible."
There was a silence for a few minutes. Robin seemed to be turning things over in his mind. After a while he spoke silently and mysteriously.
"We GOT to find out, Cy, it's gonna kill me otherwise!" he said, looking mischievous.
Then Cyborg had an idea. What if BB and Raven were in HER room? 'Noone ever goes in there!' thought Cy triumphantly. A plot began to form in his head. What if he went knocked on Ravens door? He could catch them in the act. (a/n: nothing gross. I just meant kissing or something, honest! ^_^;) He grinned slyly at Robin.
"Well now, why don't I go see if lil' lonley Raven is hangin' in her room?" said Cyborg in his most sarcastic yet voice. Robin grinned, catching the plan straight away. He gave him a thumbs up.
"Haha, yeah totally! Nice one, Cy!"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Cyborg got up and walked to Ravens room. Apprehensively, he knocked. Raven opened the door a bit. Her hood was up, the face emotionless, as always.
"What." she stated glumly.
"I wondered if..uh...you knew where Beast boy was?" Cyborg grinned, a little uneasily. He never was sure about Raven.She stared at him.
"How should I know. When did you last see him?" she droned.
"About an hour ago now."
"I'll go look for him if you're desperate. Why do you need him anyway?"
"I...uh...dont. Robin does." Cy lied, turning pink.
"Hmmmmm." said Raven, looking at him through suspicious eyes. "Your lying." she said eventually.
"AHA!" said Cyborg triumphantly, pointing a robotic finger at Rae.
"What now?" her monotone voice echoed down the corridor. She was getting annoyed.
"You know I'm lyin' because he is in there with you!" he said a little over confidently.
"You're kidding me." she stated, in a sarcastic tone.
"No! It's totally obvious you've liked him for ages, and you both mysteriously go missin' all day. A bit "coincidental" isn't it Rave?" said Cy in accusing tones. She stared at him as if he had gone mad.
"Enough!" she said angrily, as the hallway light exploded. "This is the most pointless arguement ever known." she stated coldly, staring at the metal man.
"No it isnt! You and him are..." Cy blushed a bit, "...obviously at it!"
Ravens eyes turned white. Cyborg flew against the wall, a black aura binding his arms and legs.Raven opened her door and walked over to him, angrily.
"First of all, let me remind you I dont like to be bothered in my room. Secondly, how dare you accuse me of something which even if I was doing, would be none of your business, and thirdly, you can go back to Robin and tell him there is nothing going on. This is obviously one of your ridiculous pranks."
Her eyes reverted to normal. Cyborg fell to the floor, with a loud thump. He rubbed his neck.
"Now back off." said Raven, striding back into her room and slamming her door.
******************************************************
Cyborg walked downstairs stiffly, checking his body was alright, through his arm-computer sensors. He plonked down on the sofa next to Robin.
"Well?" said Robin, curiously. Cyborg gave him a thumbs up.
"She totally digs him."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Back in her room, Raven was so mad. 'How dare Cyborg!' she though furiously, her books whirling around her head. His words rang in her head as clear as day.
"It's totally obvious you've liked him for ages..."
Was it truly? She sank to her knees, as the books landed down beside her with a thump. She looked up. Had Beastboy really gone missing, or was Cyborg messing about? She closed her eyes and searched Titan tower for him, but he wasnt there.
'Well, where is he?' she thought frantically. She couldn't pick him out. Eventually she gave up. 'Ohhhh,' she sighed. She climbed onto her bed, and lay there, looking up at the ceiling.
She thought about her dreams. All she could dream about last night was Beastboy. That mountainside, thats she saw in his head. She recreated fantasies of her own there. (a/n: nothing dirty!!!O.o;) She remembered how real those kisses felt. She touched her cheek, with a fond memory.
'Stop it!' she thought to herself. 'that wasnt real. The feelings, the mountainside...'
'The mountainside....' she mused. 'It wasn't real, was it?' She sat up suddenly, remembering the reality of the place. It couldn't be fictional, there was too much detail of it in BB's head. 'Maybe where Beastboy is right now!'
She smiled, lying down again gently. She closed her eyes. She could still smell the air, so cool and fresh. And smell the flowers, fragrant and pure. She allowed herself a little bit of a nostalgic moment, as she recalled the wonderous images. She stood up quietly.
"I have to see it for myself." she said out loud. She looked at the photograph, now on her bedside table. She touched the photogenic Beastboys face. "Only a photo." she sighed out loud.
Opening her window as quietly as she could, she floated outside. She left it slightly ajar so that she could get in when she got back.It was about 4.30pm, and the sun was still shining brightly. Its warmth felt so good on her cheeks. She lowered her hood, alowing her whole face to be showered with rays. For two days she had wanted to enjoy the sunshine, and now, she was going to relish every moment she could.
She flew slowly, enjoying the scenery and the heat. She scanned the area carefully. Raven wasn't exactly sure where the mountain was but she could sense, by the natural world around her it wasnt too far. Suddenly, she stopped in mid-air hovering above a forest.
'What if Beast boy is there,' she said shivering slightly, despite the prolific heat.
'I....I....I'll...live my dreams then, won't I,' she thought hesitantly, yet she was overcome with a sense of happiness. The tree below her began to creak threateningly. She relaxed her emotions and it settled comfortably.
She took to the air once agian, and flew gracefully towards the huge rocky outcrop before her. She saw a small patch of grass. She squinted. It couldnt be. Could it? She was focusing on a small dot. It looked black, but as she got closer, she saw some green. It was sitting down, looking in the opposite direction.
She drew ever closer. She wanted to draw ever closer. The 'dot' came into full focus. It was definatly Beastboy. Raven stopped again clenching her fists. Her heart had leapt into her throat. 'Last minute nerves,' she thought glumly.
'I have to go and see him. At least talk to him. And none of the titans are here, so its going to be totally private.' she reassured herself. She pulled her hood up.
"Alright," she muttered under her breath as she swooped down behind him silently. He hadnt noticed her. He was staring out over the rocks. She swallowed, smiled, then spoke.
"Kinda nice out here isnt it." said Raven in her normal monotone.
Beast boy froze, like a rabbit caught in head lights. It couldnt be. Could it? He turned around slowly.
"R-Raven?!" he stuttered.
