Intermission:
Beast Boy yawned lazily as he stretched himself over the cool mahogany coffee
table in the kitchen. He tucked his head under one arm as he rubbed his chin
across the smooth counter top. Beast Boy peaked open one of his eyes and
gave a large sigh, "Maaaan.....I am so...b-o-r-e-d!", he shouted as
reared back his head and scratched it.
After only taking a couple of passive breaths, he started to calm down
again. Beast Boy sighed once more as he flipped backwards behind his chair and
looked up to the kitchen clock in the room. It was 6:00.
Beast Boy smiled to himself, "It's going to start without me."
Beast Boy checked his right and left. He smiled, no one was around to see
him. Beast Boy quietly tiptoed to the flight of stairs that led to roof.
With uttermost silence he shut the door behind after he checked the room again
to see if anyone was going to follow. As the door shut closed, there was
a loud metal clank that echoed in the stair way. Beast Boy let out a breath of
cool relief as he rubbed his arms
It was unusually cold in the stair way. He rubbed his gloved hands
together as he climbed the flight of stairs. He could feel the cool metal of
the stair banister nipping into his palm as he held on to it, even with his
gloves on. Beast Boy tapped the metal banister casually as he made his way to
the top roof of the Titan Tower.
"God, we should really put in a escalator to the roof." he
said to himself as he pushed open the door that led to the top. A glimmer of
orange sunlight glinted into his eyes and he smiled widely as he closed the
door behind him. Beast Boy's eyes were shut against the sunlight as he
took in a deep breath. The salty fresh breeze filled his lungs and
stroked against his face. Beast Boy placed his arms behind his head as he
walked over to the edge of the Tower to look at the horizon. He looked
out to the beautiful scenery that surrounded him. It really was beautiful.
"Man! You can see everything from here!", he laughed as his voice
echoed back to him. Beast Boy took a seat on the edge, casually swinging his
legs back and forth. He took in another breath and closed his eyes. Trying to
tune out the sound of the air conditioners and radiators whirring behind him.
Beast Boy sniffled his nose as he tried to cover his mouth,
"A..A..A-chooo!" he sneezed as he shook his head.
"Gaaahh.....", he slurred as he wiped his nose with his sleeve.
"I hate colds," he said as he felt his forehead.
Beast Boy was sick during the past few days. To many day's for staying up on
the roof. This was Beast Boy's little secret. He had always sneaked up to the
roof, a lot. Beast Boy always found it calming just to sit back and relax
here.
Beast Boy stared with happily with glazed eyes at the orange orb that
slowly seemed to be sinking beneath the ocean. Beast Boy sat there quietly as
he listened to the gull's in the air, the ocean splashing against the
shore....and a low rumbling beneath him?
Beast Boy looked to his sides, he thought no one was around . Beast Boy
scratched his head, "What was-" Beast Boy heard the faint rumble
again. Beast Boy quirked a brow as he looked down. He laughed to himself
lightly as he rubbed his belly "I'm hungry."
"Then maybe you should get back in and get something to eat?" a voice
whispered in his ear.
The hairs on Beast Boy's neck stood up on edge as he turned around to see who
had followed him to the roof.
Beast Boy looked behind his shoulder and smiled. He faced the sun set again as
the person took a seat next to him.
Beast Boy looked at her from the corner of his eye, "Hey, Raven. Whatcha
doing out here?"
Raven sat next to him, "Wondering where you were. You've been missing
every time at this hour. So... what exactly are you doing here?"
Beast Boy laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head, "Um...it's
kind of silly." He rubbed the back of his head even more and blushed
slightly.
Raven quirked a brow at him, "Were you....watching the sun set?"
Beast Boy shrugged his shoulders as he nodded, "Yeah...., kind of stupid,
huh?"
Raven shook her head as she looked to the horizon, "Not really." she
said as she stretched her arms behind her back and sat in a Indian style
position. "It's really peaceful out here."
Beast Boy nodded his head, "Yeah...." Beast Boy looked from the
corner of his to her, "So..." he coughed.
Raven turned her head to him, "What?"
" You wanna stay and you know, watch it with me?" he asked. Beast Boy
held his breath, awaiting the answer. Hoping that she wouldn't think he's weird
for asking....but maybe she already thought about him like that, he thought.
To his surprise, Raven lightly smiled underneath her hood. Raven nodded her
head, "Sure.....,why not." she answered back.
Beast Boy smiled as they both turned their eyes to the sunset again. Raven
removed the top of her hood . She flipped her hair over her shoulder as she
leaned back on her arms Beast Boy turned his head and smiled to her from the
side. Raven tucked a stray hair that drifted in the air behind her ear and
Beast Boy couldn't help but smile.
"God... she's beautiful." he whispered to herself.
Raven caught Beast Boy's glance from the corner of her eye and she turned her
head to him, "Beast Boy? Something wrong?"
Beast Boy shyly turned his head around to hide his blush, "Nothing."
he replied back as he turned to face the sun set again.
Raven raised a brow and she unexpectedly let out a cold shiver. She
tucked in her legs and rubbed the sides of her arms.
Beast Boy turned his attention to Raven "Cold?"
Raven tucked her arms beneath her chest and shivered "Not much. What about
you." she asked.
Beast Boy tucked his arms in as well, "A little."
Raven looked down at her cloak. She quirked a brow as she held it in her
palm. She took it in her hand and wrapped it around his shoulder,
"Um...you mind?"
Beast Boy smiled, "Not at all." he replied back as he pulled the
cloak closer to him, wrapping it around.
"Just don't stretch it out. Y'know we can always go inside if you're
really cold." Raven said.
Beast Boy shook his head, "Naw..., I'm alright with this." He smiled
to her. "Unless...y'know if your uncomfortable we can go back-"
Raven waved her hands, "No, it's alright. I'm okay." she replied.
Beast Boy smiled, "K, if you say
so."
As they sat there a idea popped into Beast Boy's head. Beast Boy
gulped slightly as he warily scoohed himself closer to her, seeing if she would
allow it. Beast Boy smiled, she did. Beast Boy could feel a cold tingle run up
his spine as his thigh brushed against hers. Beast Boy smiled to her and Raven
smiled back. They both turned their heads away blushing when they noticed they
had both looked at each other simultaneously.
They both sat in solemn silence as they watched the sun go down. Beast Boy
looked out to the orange sun basking them in it's light. They sat there for a
good while, just enjoying each other's company. In a few minutes the sun
inevitably submerged completely underneath the sea and Beast Boy was a little
depressed to know that the show was over.
Beast Boy sighed, "Sunsets..., only come once a day."
Beast Boy looked over to Raven as she nodded in reply. Beast Boy couldn't tell,
but he sort of figured Raven didn't want the sun set to be over already either.
Beast Boy stretched his arms as he got up. He then extended his hand out
to Raven. Raven smiled lightly as she took his hand. She dusted her cloak off
as Beast Boy helped her up to her feet.
"So, I guess we should be going in now?" Beast Boy asked as he rested
his arms behind his head.
Raven nodded, "Right, we should be getting back downstairs. The others must
be wondering where we are right about now."
Beast Boy chuckled, "Yeah, we wouldn't want to get them too worried."
he joked.
Raven shook her head in reply."Worse come to worse if they couldn't find
us." she said sarcastically."
Beast Boy smiled to her as he made out a slight smile from underneath her hood
as she tucked it back over her head.
"Let's go, Beast... Boy....?" Raven paused. She looked past Beast Boy
and for some reason up to the sky
Beast Boy quirked a brow at her, "Um...whatcha looking at Raven?" he
asked as he waved his hand in front of her face. "Bird watching or
something?" he joked
Raven grabbed his hand in foresight and shook her head slowly as she continued
to gaze into the sky. Her face unsure in what she saw. She let go of Beast
Boy's wrist and held a finger out as she pointed to something in the
sky.
Beast Boy quirked his brow again as he rubbed his wrist, "Okay...."
Beast Boy turned around and he tried to make out where Raven was pointing to.
Beast Boy squinted his eyes. Raven was right. Something was falling in the sky.
"What is that..." Beast Boy whispered to himself as he squinted his
eyes some more.
What he saw falling in the sky surprised him as it fell closer into
sight. Beast Boy shook his head in disbelief, " No way...."
Something was definitely falling. It fell descended through the clouds and
slowly spiraled. Beast Boy could make out the figure that was falling....
It was him.
A Beast Boy that was falling. The falling Beast Boy drifted pass by him
and Raven. It was if it had happened in flashes and time had slowed down
momentarily at that moment. The falling Beast Boy turned his head slowly to
him. Looking back to him with sad half lid eyes that seemed to burrow into him.
The falling Beast Boy whispered something silently as he passed him by. A
little too silent though. Beast Boy could hear what he said to him.
Beast Boy gasped as time resumed again and the falling Beast Boy plunged into
the sea. He didn't resurface back up though. The funny thing being that
after he dove into the water, there were no splashes, no bubbles, no ripples,
and no sound as he hit the water. It was if the sea had swallowed him whole and
he disappeared into the abyss....
Beast Boy looked at Raven, confused in what just happened. Beast Boy walked
over and looked over the edge, "He's...., gone...dude. Where'd he
go?."
"Okay...this was weird, but there has to some logical explanation,
right?" Raven asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Right?" she asked as she scratched her eyebrow.
"Yeah, I-" Beast Boy heard a low rumble again and he held his
stomach. He anime sweat dropped. "Sorry, my stomach. Guess I'm hungrier
than I thought."
There was another low rumble and Raven looked over her shoulder, "Beast
Boy.., I don't think that was your stomach."
Beast Boy scratched the back of his head, "Then what else- Whoa!"
Beast Boy shouted as a stone pillar shot from underneath him and sent him
flying far back backwards.
Beast Boy fell with a hard thud on the ground as he landed. Thanks
to his creative imagination he swore that he saw stars buzzing around his
head.
Beast Boy got on his knees and then he stumbled as a tremor larger than the
first shook the tower. Beast Boy shook his head and he carefully tried to walk
back to Raven.
Beast Boy could hear Raven shout as she tried to regain her balance on the
shaky tower, "Beast Boy, s-something's wrong!"
"Raven, I'll- Whoa!" he shouted again as another tremor quaked. The
quake had him fall into Raven's arms.
Raven helped him on as feet at the tower shook. "Are you
alright?"
Beast Boy nodded, "Cool, do you think the tower will be ok?"
Raven nodded, "Maybe."
A giant fissure then began to break the tower into two separate pieces. Beast
Boy fell backwards from the aftershock and he found himself on the other side
of the breaking tower.
"Maybe not." Raven said as she stumbled.
Beast Boy looked at the break into the tower and then he looked to Raven.
"Raven! Grab my hand!" he shouted as he reached his out as far as he
could. "Hurry, before the tower breaks in half!" he said louder as he
stretched out his arm some more. Beast Boy reached for her hand but the crevice
between the tower shot up underneath Beast Boy. Beast Boy came a couple of
inches short and he missed to grab Raven's hand as he was sent tumbling back
head over heel. Beast Boy rubbed his head as he got up again. He sprinted to
her but for some reason a mysterious fog began to form every time he seemed to
get closer.
"Beast Boy!" She shouted out to him.
"Raven!" he shouted back as he held out his hand.
In that moment, Raven had disappeared into the fog on the other side.
Beast Boy stopped in his tracks and skidded to halt at the fault's edge of the
tower "Raven...."
Beast Boy gulped as he looked down over the edge. It was long way down. He
looked over the edge again and he could feel his heart sink into his stomach,
"A real long way down." he gulped to himself.
Beast Boy's ear's twitched as he heard Raven shout out to him from the fog.
"Beast Boy!"
"Raven!" he shouted back. "Hold on!"
Beast Boy looked down at the edge and he shook off his break of fear. He
kicked out his leg as he ran back a few steps. He took in a deep breath as he
sprinted and leaped over the edge. He stretched his leg out as far as it could.
He didn't want to fall. Beast Boy looked down in mid-flight. He really didn't
want to fall, putting the emphasis on "really".
To Beast Boy's misfortune he fell a couple inches short. He flailed his arms in
the air. Grabbing at anything that could hold him. Luckily, his hand met the
bare edge of the tower. He let out a breath of relief as he pulled himself up
and rested on his back. "Oh...god..." he panted as he closed his eyes
in between breaths.
A voice ringed in the air, "Beast Boy..."
Beast Boy's eyes shot up as he crawled up to his feet, "Raven, where are
you!?" he shouted.
"Beast Boy" the voice ringed again.
Beast Boy got to his feet and started running, "Raven!" he shouted as
he ran faster. Running blindly into the fog with only a voice growing smaller
and smaller by the minute.
That's when Beast Boy noticed that he wasn't alone.
"Funny ain't it? What gives people pain. Scratch it, paint it, still
one and the same." a voice echoed.
Beast Boy continued to run as he looked around the dense fog surrounding him,
"Whose there?"
"Hurt's don't it? Fools on parade." the voice whispered in his head.
"Oh, god. I know talking to yourself is bad, but I know hearing voices in
your head is worse."
"She kept to herself, but deep inside her, you can't remember. Not
tomorrow or today..."
Beast Boy quirked a brow, " Who are you talking about? I know it can't be
Raven!"
"Take it, own it, you'll only chase her away. Only wanting to say the
words that you couldn't say." the voice said weakly.
Beast Boy clutched his head, "Shut up!" he shouted to the voice
inside his head "I'm going to find her and no stupid voice in my head is
going to-"
"Sometimes we make mistakes, darken and hazy, the price we
paid" the voice interrupted.
"I said, shut up!" Beast Boy shouted again. Beast Boy was unaware of
where he was running and he tripped on a piece of rubble on the floor and
fell. He hit the ground with a smack on his chin. Beast Boy got up on his
knees; he panted heavily, he didn't know how long he had been running in the
fog. Beast Boy rolled over on his back in exhaustion, "Raven...."
Voice returned and whispered, "Knock...."
Beast Boy sighed, "Not you again...."
"Knock...." the voice asked again.
"What are you!-" Beast Boy quirked a brow. He touched the ground
around him. He didn't feel anything...it was if he was laying on... air.
Beast Boy looked over to his side and large hole had opened up under him. Beast
Boy let out a scream of surprise as he began to plummet down the hole. It was a
very bright tunnel and Beast Boy covered his eyes. The blinding light became
brighter and brighter as he fell closer to the end of the tunnel
and fall through.
Moments later, Beast Boy woke up to find himself laying face first on the
ground in a very bright white room. Beast Boy rubbed his forehead, it was real
sore. Beast Boy groaned as he held his stomach and sat up. He peaked open one
of his eyes to take a look around the room.
"Where are you Raven....and where am I?" he said to himself as he
stood up.
Beast Boy ears twitched. Someone was with him. He could hear a tiny voice
echoing in the room.
"Mommy....."
Beast Boy quirked a brow as he turned around, "Hey, anybody here?"
"Daddy..."
Beast Boy turned around again, he could hear a series of frantic little
footsteps in the room. That's when Beast Boy saw him. A little child that was
running. The child's back turned, he couldn't see his face.
Beast Boy called out to him, "Hey kid! Who are you!?"
"Please come back, I don't want to be alone." the child whimpered
Beast Boy waved to the child, "Kid! Come back! I don't know who you are
and where I am! Can you help me!?"
The child payed no attention to Beast By as he suddenly tripped and fell.
"Ow..." Beast Boy whispered.
The child sat back. Tears were welling up in his eyes and he began to cry.
"I miss you, come back." the child cried. "Don't leave me!"
Beast Boy looked at the kid. He couldn't just stand there. He walked over to
the child that was crying, "Kid, you all right?" he asked worried as
he squatted down to him. Beast Boy couldn't help but notice what the
child was wearing. They were very familiar.
The child sniffled through the tears as he wiped his eye, "No! I can't
find my mommy and daddy."
"Where'd they go?" Beast Boy asked.
The child sniffled, " I lost them...and now I can't find them."
Beast Boy looked at the child. Saddened by his story he wanted to comfort him,
"Kid, it'll be all right."
The child sniffled as he turned around and looked to Beast Boy,
"Really?"
Beast Boy could feel his heart drop into the pit his stomach when the child
turned around. Now he knew where he saw those familiar orange overalls the
child was wearing. Beast Boy mouth was agape. He stuttered,
"K-Kid...you're...you're..."
"Beast Boy..." a melodic tune echoed in the room.
The child Beast Boy on the ground immediately dried his tears as he held out
his arms to the one who called his name. It was if the person had come out of
thin air.
"Everything's all right now, baby. Please don't cry."
The child Beast Boy smiled in her arms, "Really."
"Really." The person smiled back as she began to hum a familiar tone
as she cradled him.
"This land is your land." she sang.
"This land is my land." The Beast Boy child whispered.
The women smiled down at him " From California, to the New York Island.
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters. This land was made for you
and me.....
Beast Boy looked up in disbelief. There was only one person who could have sung
that song that beautifully....a wide smile grew on his lips as tears
welled into his eyes, "Mom....."
Beast Boy's mother smiled to him as she tucked a stray strand of her long jet
black hair behind her ear, "My son...., look how you've grown."
Beast Boy laughed as he ran to hug his mother in the pink flower pattern skirt
and white halter top . He held her in a longing hug that he saved within him
for so many years. He wished that it would never end. All the years
of sorrow began to pour over her as he cried. Beast Boy hugged her mother,
"Mom...I never wanted to believe you were gone. I've never admitted
it to be real. I missed you." he cried on her shoulder. "I missed
you."
Beast Boy's mother chuckled from the tight embrace. She set the child Beast Boy
down who seemed only wanting to cling unto his mother's hand and suck his
thumb.
Beast Boy cried on his mothers shoulder, "I missed you." he repeated
again. "I never wanted you to leave. I never wanted to leave your side.
His mother smiled again to him. A smile that only a mother can give to their
child. A smile that gave you the same feeling of the warm afternoon sun basking
against your skin in its light. "My son...I know you've missed me...,but
aren't you leaving behind some one as well?"
Beast Boy wiped away a tear and looked at his mother, "Who, Mom?"
Beast Boy's mother smiled, "Son, have you forgotten already? Do you not
remember?"
Beast Boy shook his head, "Sorry, Mom."
Beast Boy's mother gently held his head, "My son, please remember who you
are leaving behind. She misses you."
Beast Boy quirked a brow, "But, Mom. How come I can't
remember."
Beast Boy's mother smiled, "Do not worry. It will come in time. Just do
not stop searching for the door."
Beast Boy quirked his brow again, "Mom, what door?"
Beast Boy's mother chuckled as she kissed her son on the forehead, "Do not
worry. It will come in time." She replied to him again. "We have to
go now. Your father is waiting for us."
Beast Boy smiled, "Dad....,he's here?"
"Why? Aren't you glad to see me?" a voice said to him as it lifted
Beast Boy on his shoulder.
Beast Boy laughed, "Dad!"
His father laughed in his khaki pants and white polo shirt. He pushed the rim
of his glasses back on his nose and blew some of his short wavy brown hair from
his face. He looked at his son, "Son long time no see. You make me proud,
y'know? A titan and all." he laughed as he rustled his son's hair. Beast
Boy laughed as he was set back down. He looked up to his father.
His father smiled back, "Son, you've gotten big."
"But you're still bigger." Beast Boy replied as he punched his tall
father playfully on the arm.
His father smiled, "Glad to see you, son. But like your mother said, we
have to be getting a going now."
Beast Boy gasped, "What? But you've only just got here. Where are you guys
going to go?"
Beast Boy's father looked out to the endless white horizon, "We're not
worrying about that. We'll be fine. Don't worry."
Beast Boy grabbed his father's arm, "But you can't! I've got so many
things to say."
"Like what?" his mother asked.
Beast Boy gulped quietly as he looked at his parents with sad eyes,
"I...never got to say thanks for saving my life and these cool
powers...." he whispered as he looked at his hands.
A tear welled in eye, " I never even got a chance... to say good
bye..." he said as the single tear dripped down his cheek. "All
these years, I never got to say...., I never got to say it before you both
died...."
Beast Boy's mother looked at her husband with sad eyes and her husband looked
back the same way. Beast Boy's mother walked over to him and hugged her son,
"My son, it's all right. It's all right."
Beast Boy cried, "Now after all these years that I held it and bottled it
up, I still feel the same. Just saying good bye isn't enough....."
"It's alright, Beast Boy." his mother whispered in his ear.
Beast Boy's father patted him on the back, "Son, it's okay. Don't
worry. We'll be fine and so will you. You've got friends taking care of you.
They're doing a better job, more than we can ask for. You'll be fine. You'll be
fine...." he repeated
Beast Boy smiled through the tears, "Thanks...., your right, Dad...I have
my friends..., a team-"
"A family...." Beast Boy's mother smiled as she looked him in
the eyes and released her hug. "You have so much more." she smiled to
him.
Beast Boy smiled as he stood up, "Thanks, you guys...,so I guess... this
is good bye?"
Beast Boy's father held out his arm to him and shook his hand, " Saying
Good bye isn't far from saying "Hello". Take care, my son. Don't
forget to brush after meals." he joked.
Beast Boy smiled, "Sure, dad."
Beast Boy hugged his mother again, "Bye, mom."
She smiled, "Good-bye, my goofy ray of sunshine."
"Aww...mom...." he said embarrassed.
His mother smiled once more as she hugged him one final time.
Beast Boy didn't forget about his little self though. He knelled down to his
eye level and rustled his messy green hair. He smiled, "Take care of
them."
His littler self nodded back in reply as he shyly hid behind his mother's leg.
Beast Boy stood back up and he smiled at toward his parents, "Bye, you
guys.." he said as a tear welled up in his eye. Beast Boy chuckled,
"Man...I promised myself that I wouldn't cry."
Beast Boy's father chuckled, "That's my boy."
Beast Boy's father put arm around his wife's shoulder and waved to him, "
Bye, son." he said as they turned and walked away slowly. Beast Boy cupped
his hand's around his mouth, "Take care!" he waved to them.
Beast Boy's mother smiled back to him as she waved. Beast Boy watched as his
parents and his littler self slowly disappear into the white horizon. Their
back's getting smaller and smaller for each step they took.
Beast Boy watched as his parents vanished into the white abyss....but his
little self stopped and looked back to Beast Boy.
Beast Boy smiled as he held up a thumb's up sign toward him.
His littler self smiled lightly back as he held up a thumb's up of his own. In
a way their own way saying "Take Care." to each other.
His child self smiled as he pointed behind Beast Boy. A large marble door
seemingly appeared behind him. Beast Boy quirked a brow. He wondered what his
littler self was smiling at. His child self smiled once more as he disappeared
from sight into the white abyss when Beast Boy turned around. Beast Boy
jumped back in surprise, "Whoa! Kid! Where'd did this
door...come.from...?" he asked as he turned around to find his little self
gone.
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head, "Okay...."
Beast Boy looked back at the large double opening door's. Along the rims,
vines were embedded around it and gilded with gold by the edges.
Beast Boy warily brought his fingers to the door. He gulped, "So must be
the door?" he said to himself as he touched it. He looked over the door.
It was one piece of work. It was very big, it had to be at least 7 feet tall.
Something was little off though. There were no handles or knobs to open the
door.
"So, how do I open it?" he asked himself as he rubbed his chin.
Beast Boy quirked a brow. He somehow missed this other minor detail.
There was some sort of emblem carved into the door. Beast Boy squinted
his eyes, "Look's almost... like a bird." he said as he squinted his
eyes some more at it. Beast Boy looked closer, "Yup..., it's a bird.
Although it's rather pretty...it helps me out no what so ever in trying to open
this door." He sighed as he drooped his head.
Beast Boy touched the door again, "Dude, how does it open?" Beast Boy
asked himself as he tried to pry open the door with his bare hands. As he
struggled with the door, a cold breeze brushed behind his neck. Beast Boy
jumped back in surprise as he turned his head to only find no one there.
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck, "Weird...."
"Tell me about it..." a chilling voice whispered in his ear.
Beast Boy jumped back again as he turned his head back toward the door. A pair
of green eyes shrouded in the dark of its cloak stared back to him. His green
bright eyes, his only visible feature underneath his hood, looked into Beast
Boy's. Beast Boy stumbled backwards in fear, "Dude!" he shouted as
patted his chest that held his rapid beating heart.
The figure smiled underneath its green hood as it turned his attention to the
door. Its fingers grazed the frame slightly, "Beautiful..., isn't
it?"
Beast Boy quirked a brow, "Uh...um..okay.,...right....."
The green hooded figured in the cloak whispered under its breath as he looked
back to Beast Boy, "You still do not understand."
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head, "What?"
"Open it..." the green hooded figure said bluntly as it looked
back to the door.
Beast Boy laughed nervously, "Um....there's no handle. Sorry, dude."
"You do not remember, do you?" the hooded figure asked.
Beast Boy shook his head slowly, "Uh...no?"
The green hooded figure shook his head as it waved a hand over Beast Boy,
"I hope you do."
A sudden hole opened up from beneath Beast Boy and he eeped as he fell and
desperately clung on the edge.
"Dude! Why do I keep falling into holes!" Beast Boy shouted as he
tried to regain his footing.
"You tell me." the voice replied as it squatted down to him.
Beast Boy grunted as he struggled to hang on. A deep burning sensation filled
his arm every second that past, he couldn't pull himself up. It wouldn't be
long until he lost his grip and fell.
His arm gave weigh and as Beast Boy tumbled down he turned to look up to the
cloaked figure above him. The figure shouted down to him, "Remember!
Remember what she told you!"
"Dude! Who is she.....and who are you!?"
The figure chuckled as he removed his hood and rustled his hair. The figure
smiled as he looked down, "I'm pretty good-looking, huh?"
Beast Boy was speechless. He just didn't know what to say....
The figure in the green cloak from above....it was him...
"Dude.....no...way...." He whispered. Beast Boy screamed and
clutched his head, "Why does this keep getting confusing!" his voice
echoed in the tunnel
He looked back to the Beast Boy in the cloak "Dude....,who is she!"
The Beast Boy in the cloak cupped his hands around his mouth as he shouted,
"Don't tell me you forgot! Remember!? It's-"
Beast Boy squinted his eyes as cupped a hand behind his ear, "Who?"
Beast Boy could see his mouth moving but no sound came out. Beast Boy had
fallen to far and at a certain point, he fell to far to hear his voice.
Beast Boy turned his head around and looked down at the dark void he was
falling into. Beast Boy covered his eyes, a bright orange light was piercing
through the dark at the end of the tunnel.
Beast Boy shut his eyes and when he managed to peak one of them open, he could
see himself falling through clouds?
Beast Boy shut his eyes again as he spiraled in the air as strong gusts of wind
grazed around his body . He tried to peak open one of his eyes again. He wanted
to know where he was. With some effort he managed to open one of his eyes
again to look around. He turned his head to his side and he couldn't believe
what he saw.
It was the Titan Tower....
He could see himself with Raven sitting there while they watched the sunset. He
could see Raven getting up and telling the Beast Boy on the roof to look up.
Beast Boy rubbed his head as he looked at them, "Deja vu...." he
whispered.
He could see the Beast Boy on the roof stare up in disbelief at him and into
his eyes as he passed by and down to the sea.
As Beast Boy fell by, his cloaked self's words echoed in his head.
"Who was it..." he whispered as he felt himself dive into the ocean.
Leaving no sign of disappearing like before.
The Beast Boy on the roof looked over the edge, "Dude...that was
weird. Raven, he was like whispering something to me. Raven...., that dude
falling.... wasn't that me?"
Raven shrugged her shoulders as she looked down to the ocean. How was she
suppose to know.
Beast Boy could feel himself sinking to the bottom of the ocean. A fading light
only getting smaller and smaller was glinting above him. He held his hand out
to the light, watching it slowly disappearing through his fingers. Leaving him
in the dark blue abyss. It was then he realized that he couldn't breathe. Beast
Boy panicked, for some reason he didn't have any strength or common sense to
morph into a water animal. Is seemed that pure struck fear was holding him
back. It was if sandbags were tied to his legs. Beast Boy started
shouting. Shouting for anyone for help. As he sank deeper, he knew then that no
one would come, no one could hear him scream.
Beast Boy shut his eyes, he gave up. He just felt so helpless....
As Beast Boy shut his eyes, voices and flashes began to buzz around his head
"Dude, BB. Is that grey lipstick..."
Beast Boy peaked open on his eyes, "Cy...?" he whispered
"To celebrate a joyous occasion such as this, we proceed in the dance
of happiness...."
Beast Boy shook his head, "Star...?"
"Dude..., you've been having dreams about her?
"Robin...?" Beast Boy shook his head again.
"Are you sure you guys aren't on a date?"
Beast Boy rubbed the side of his head. "Melissa....?" Beast Boy
rubbed his head again. Why was he hearing all these voices?
One particular flash seemed to slow down momentarily and Beast Boy squinted his
eyes shut at the flash in his head.
He could see himself on his bed and there was someone with him...
Beast boy couldn't see who it was. The image was shrouded in shadows and the
image was distorted. Beast Boy watched as the figure sat on top of him, holding
his arms as she whispered something in his ear.
"Beast Boy, memories aren't only kept in your head...., memories...or at
least ours, our memories are kept in the heart...."
Beast Boy held his hand out, but as soon as it came, it disappeared.
Beast Boy reached farther, stretching his arm as far as it could to the
image....
"Why can't I remember..." he whispered to himself. "Who were
you...?"
Beast Boy curled up into a ball. He tried to hold back the tears.
"Why can't I remember!!!" Beast Boy shouted as he clutched his head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Beast Boy shot straight up on the couch. Covered in sweat and at a loss of
breath. As he looked up, a pair of curious indigo eyes stared back to him.
Raven quirked a brow, "Beast Boy?"
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly as he waved to her,
"Umm...hey, Raven."
Raven stood over him as she crossed her arms across her chest, "Are you
going to be alright? You've been screaming in your sleep for the past 2
minutes."
Beast Boy rubbed his throat. He must've been. When he woke up, his throat was
dry and sore. Beast Boy let out a breath of relief as fell back on the couch
and wiped the sweat of his brow, "It was only a dream....at least I think
it was....it felt so real..."
Raven leaned her elbows on top of the couch, "A nightmare?"
Beast Boy looked rested his arm over his eyes, " It was real weird. There
were like voices saying lot's of stuff in my head..."
Raven quirked a brow, "You mean that doesn't happen already?"
Beast Boy nodded, "Yeah....hey! Wait a minute!" Beast Boy sat up and
pointed a finger at Raven, "You so took a shot at me!"
Raven quirked her brow, "It was a joke you know? Hee-hee, haw-haw? "
She replied in her monotone voice as he held her hands up.
Beast Boy put his finger down as he fell back on the couch as he groaned and
rubbed his throat.
Raven looked down at him " You seemed stressed...., maybe you should
consider having some herbal tea."
Beast Boy stuck out his tongue as he looked up to her *blech* "But, I
don't like herbal tea."
Raven looked back to him as she walked into the kitchen, "I'm trying to be
nice. You're going to have herbal tea." She replied back. Putting the
emphasis on "have" as she walked it into the kitchen and levitated
for two cups in the cup board.
Beast Boy sighed back on the couch as he watched Raven preparing the tea. He
stared up at the ceiling roof and lot's of thoughts whirred in his head. One
question in particular echoed in his ear.
"Why can't I remember..."
In the kitchen, Raven placed the two cups on brown plastic tray as she poured
the hot herbal tea into them from the gray kettle she held for so many years.
She placed the kettle back over the stove as she carried the tray over to Beast
Boy.
" Beast Boy, your tea is ready." she said as she took a seat on the
couch and placed the tray on the table.
Beast Boy woke up from his train of thought and sat up. Raven held a steaming
cup over to him. Beast Boy looked at the cup as she handed it to him, "Um,
thanks?" he said as he sniffed the tea.
Raven took her cup and sat with her legs crossed as she casually sipped her
tea. A couple of seconds past when she noticed Beast Boy sitting there in silence
and continually staring into his cup.
"Something wrong?" Raven asked as she held her tea down.
Beast Boy scratched the side of his head, "I've never had tea before...but
it's green. That's a plus." he smiled.
" Wonder why they call it green tea, huh?" Raven asked as she sipped
her tea again.
Beast Boy looked down at the tea again. He held to his lip's close to the cup
and blew on it. He took a sip.
Raven looked to him, "Good?"
Beast Boy smacked his lips and churned the taste in his mouth, "It...doesn't
taste like any thing, y'know? Like hot water?"
Raven sipped her tea, "How's your throat?"
Beast Boy rubbed his throat and smiled, "It...doesn't hurt any more."
"And that is the difference between water and tea." Raven replied as
she continued to sip from her cup.
Beast Boy smiled but it slowly faded. Beast Boy felt a uneasy pain in his head.
It was if something was crawling up to him. Like a door opening, letting a hazy
fog out.
Beast Boy placed his cup back on the tray that was on the table. It had hurt.
Beast Boy leaned over on his knees and he started to blank out in thought. A
dazed look on his face as he tried to remember the thought clawing in his mind.
Raven quirked a brow and peaked open of her eyes. She wondered why it was so
quiet.
She placed her cup back on her tray and stared at Beast Boy. She waved a hand
over his face. She quirked a brow.
In Beast Boy's head he could hear a voice calling out to him as he sat there
silently.
"Beast Boy...."
"Uh, what? Who's there?" he asked to the voice.
"Beast Boy...."
"Who's there?" he asked again.
"Beast Boy!" Raven shouted in his ear.
Beast Boy screamed and fell backwards over the couch. He groaned and pulled
himself back up, "Raven, what was that for?"
"You sort of where staring into space. Are you alright?" Raven
replied.
Beast Boy rubbed his ear, "Yeah, I'll be fine. But did you have to shout
so loud?"
Raven shrugged her shoulders, "Wasn't it loud enough?"
Beast Boy nodded his head, "Just enough." he smiled as he patted his
ear. Beast Boy got up and sat back on the couch. Raven handed his cup to him,
"Aren't you going to finish your tea?"
"My what? Oh! Yeah, my tea." Beast Boy took the cup and quickly
gulped it down. He must've been spacing out longer than he thought. His tea was
now ice cold as he drank it.
Beast Boy smacked his lips as he wiped his mouth on his sleeve, "Thanks,
Raven."
Raven nodded as she took the cup back and placed it on the tray. She got up and
carried the tray to the kitchen. She looked over her shoulder, "Will you
need anything else while I'm in here?"
Beast Boy shook his head, "No, I'm cool thanks."
Raven walked into the kitchen and dropped the cups into the sink and she began
to wash them. Beast Boy looked at Raven in the kitchen, "So.., Raven, where
are the others at?"
"Battle practice in the training room. You didn't show up so Robin sent me
to look for you."
Beast Boy sighed as he slumped his head on the arm of the couch, "Robin,
again? Dude, that guy seriously works us too hard. We did battle practice
yesterday, y'know. I still got aches and bruises from last time." Beast
Boy groaned as he rubbed his arm. "Weight lifting is hard. I don't know
how Cy can put up with it."
"Cyborg's muscles are mechanical. His natural strength is almost 10 times
doubled." Raven replied as she scrubbed the suds on the cups.
"What about Starfire? She hardly works out and she's still skinny no
matter what. How does she do that?" Beast Boy asked.
"Starfire isn't from here. Her metabolism and biological make up is different
from normal people."
Beast Boy gagged and chuckled, "Are you sure it's just not the weird stuff
she eats that keeps her trim?"
Raven flicked her wrist as she shook off the few drops of water on her hand.
She reached for a paper towel and dried her hands. "Besides that, she
trains real hard....something you should be doing right now, right?"
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head, "I guess."
Raven walked back into the living room, "Practice makes perfect."
"And perfection takes practice. Yeah, I know." Beast Boy flipped
acrobatically behind the couch, "So shall we be going?"
Raven nodded, "We should."
Beast Boy rested his hands behind his head as they left the living room and
into the hall.
"By the way, why do you keep doing that every time you get up from the
couch?"
Beast Boy smiled as he shrugged his shoulders, "Force of habit? Plus it
look's cool."
Raven nodded her head, "So what'd you dream about?" Raven asked as
she walked down the hall beside him.
Beast Boy laughed nervously, "It was kind of weird, y'know? Voices and
stuff. The regular nightmare routine."
"Anything in particular happened?" Raven asked.
Beast Boy chuckled, "Yeah. There was falling...,a lot of
falling."
"And then what happened after the falling?" Raven asked.
Beast Boy chuckled, "Then there was a lot of running."
Raven chuckled lightly "Sounds like you work out more while your dreaming
than in real life."
"Just about." Beast Boy said as he rubbed the back of his head. Beast
Boy looked at Raven and smiled.
Raven caught his glance from the corner of her eye, "What...are you
smiling for?"
Beast Boy turned his head away and whistled, "Oh, nothing...just wondering
if you were up for a little race to the training room." he said as he
stretched out his leg.
Raven quirked a brow at him, "You? Beat me? Race? I don't think so."
Beast Boy smiled slyly, "What's wrong? Don't tell me that the lean and
mean Raven is afraid to race me?"
Raven shook her head, "No, I'm not but-"
"3 second head start!" Beast Boy laughed as he dashed ahead.
"No fair!" she shouted to him.
"Snooze you lose!"Beast Boy laughed.
Raven shook her head and smiled wily as she ran after him. Beast Boy laughed as
she caught up and sprinted by her side. Beast Boy panted happily as he
ran through the sliding doors of the training room. His laughter left him
out of breath and the last bit of air was knocked out of him as someone ran
into him.
Beast Boy fell back into Raven's arms and both fell to the floor with a thud.
He lay swirly eyed on her lap. Raven held her head, "What's the hurry?
A gloved hand helped them up, "Sorry, Raven; Beast Boy. But we
got a emergency. Regroup with the others and let's go!" Robin
shouted as he ran out the sliding doors.
Beast Boy got up and rubbed his eyes. "What was-"
Cyborg and Starfire whizzed past Beast Boy and Beast Boy swirled around in
circles from their combined momentum.
"Let's go, BB!" Cyborg shouted as he ran by.
Beast Boy held his dizzy head as held up his finger, "Yeah, sure...once
the room starts spinning." he moaned.
Raven looked around the training room, "Beast Boy, where's Terra? I
thought she was in here with the others training."
Beast Boy shook his head, "She's probably with the others. C'mon, let's
go."
Raven nodded as they ran back out the sliding doors again into the living room.
Beast Boy and Raven found Robin with the other's centered around the
living room computer.
"Titans, we've got robbery downtown at Meeting Street." Robin typed
quickly on the keyboard, "Alarm was set off in the past 3 minutes and it
doesn't take long to steal whatever they're after in that company building.
Titans, go!" Robin shouted as he and the others dashed away from the
computer. Robin hopped over the couch with swift agility and out the door. He
then stopped in his tracks and walked back in. "Hey, have you guys seen
Terra?"
Beast Boy scratched his head, "I thought she was in the training
room?"
Cyborg shrugged his shoulders, "Dude, she was in the training room
earlier. Where'd she go?"
Starfire held up a finger "I believe I saw Terra depart while-"
"Did anyone say my name?" Terra asked as she rushed out of the
doors into the living room. Her hair covering her eyes as she stopped in her
fast tracks. She parted her hair from her eyes, "So, what's the 411?"
she panted.
Raven turned her head to her, "Where were you?"
Terra anime sweat dropped and scratched the side of her head,
"Um...bathroom?"
Robin quirked a brow, "Okay....well since you here should be up to date.
We're going to break up a robbery-."
"Downtown?" Terra asked.
Robin quirked his brow again, "Right...how'd you know?"
Terra rubbed the back of her head again, "Lucky guess?" She smiled.
Robin scratched the side his head "Okay...so ...lets go!" Robin
shouted as he ran out the door again with the others.
Beast Boy held a high five to Terra and she high fived him back as they ran out
the door. Terra nudged herself against Raven's shoulder as she ran pass by and
in that brief moment, Raven felt a uneasy sensation. Like she had just
took a big bite and eaten something bad.
Raven stood in place as the others left. She rubbed her arm. "What
was....."
Beast Boy popped his head back into the room, "Hey, Raven what's up? Your
going to miss out on all the action."
Raven shook her head, "It's nothing. I'll be fine."
Beast Boy smiled, "K, hurry up before I beat you to em." he said as
he flexed what seemed like a little bulk of muscle on his arm.
"Let's go, BB! Quit fooling around!" Terra laughed as she pulled him
back out of the door way.
"Hey, Raven let's go!" Beast Boy laughed as Terra grabbed him by the
hand.
Raven nodded back as Beast Boy left the room again. Raven walked slowly out the
door and she looked back over her shoulder. Whatever she had felt
had passed.
"Raven, what's taking you?" Beast Boy shouted from down the hall.
Raven shook her head, "Nothing!" She shouted back as she levitated
down the corridor, "At least I think it's nothing..."

Venusgirl#5: Wow. I love your enthuasism. ^^ I'll see if I could use some of
your info for the sequeal.And umm...please don't let the BB/R fans attack me.

THANKS FOR THOSE REVIEWED!

THANK YOU!
*sighs*
Wow...so is anybody going to read the sequel when I make it. Hey, maybe if I
get some good reviews *cough* ^^;;.
K, now that's all I got to say. Btw if you never heard the "Blue"
song which was suppose to be played while reading the "Final
Session". Then these are the lyrics to it. You should really listen to it.
Never seen a bluer sky
I felt like reaching out and moving closer
There's something about you....
Ask my myself what it's all for
And you know the funny thing about it, I couldn't answer
I couldn't answer....
Thing's are turning a deeper shade of blue
Images that might be real, might be illusion
Flashing on and on....
I wanna be free.....
Gotta be free.....
Moving among the stars and all I am really so far, is feeling free...
You got to know being free.....
Please.....
Don't wake me from the dream
It's where everything seemed
To be so free...
Nothing like blue....
Everything is clearer now.
Life is just a dream, y'know that is never ending
Eyes open and I'm ascending...
K, so now we had the last sessions, the epilogue, the thanks and questions, and
now the lyrics to the song. Yup! I think I covered everything. ^^
So I guess this is the last page of the chapter, huh? Well *cracks fingers*
when one candle goes out another one lights up. So get ready. Cause tomorrow is
another day and that tomorrow might bring the fresh page of my sequel. ^^ well
I'll see you all later.
Ai & Heiwa!
