Howdy, y'all! I'm back, w/ chapter 3! Now, to answer some questions I've
received through review;
Priestess: So, you don't like my Raven-Nevar-Never theory. Well, fine, don't believe. *Insert hiss-y voice* None of them believe, but, I will prove them wrong, yes yes, I am right, yesssssssssssssss, heh heh, I will prove them ALL wrong, yeeessssssss . . .
Oboebyrd: D'you mean authorial intrusions as in funny author notes, or authorial intrusions as in a self-insert fic? Well, I'm afraid that from time to time I'll get this unstoppable urge to make a funny author note, but I will not make this a self-insert fic. I've already got one of those going for another show. : P
Dark Lady1: Glad you like my funny narrations. Yes. They is funny. Yeah.
Kraven the Hunter: She never has been too open, has she? But, she's always shown some emotion before. Depression, annoyance, and anger mostly. Now, she doesn't even have those emotions.
Anegel Trinton: Yes, Nevermore did rock. Yes, pink Raven is scary. And, I've seen a few Raven/Beast Boy fics before . . . most of 'em stank . . . There are some good ones, though. ^-^
jasikaermine: Woah, interestin' name . . . Glad your wish came true! And niiiice squinty-eyes!! ^-^ Yep, you're Raven. Mmyep.
Shinigami: Glad you like the fic! : P
Jessie Weasley: Glad ya think it's cool. And, I WILL write more, and I AM writing more! :D
Genesis: Glad you like. And, you can now see soulless Raven, AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU!! XD Y'know, I saw a commercial for a movie, and it said that at the end of the commercial, but I had to drive thirty miles to find a theatre where it was showing. X-x Near me indeed!
SD Titan: Can and will write more! Yup.
FoxGirl: Will add romance.
yuki san1: Yes. Yes, it is a Raven+Beast Boy. And I'm glad you like the plot! ^-^
crystal-chan: Yeah, poor Raven. But, do not pity her! For she is in no pain! XD Um . . . Why was that funny?
Everyone else: I'll update!!
Thank you all for reviews!
Disclaimer: Guess. Just, guess. Please. I won't hurt you. Just take a wild guess. Do I own the show or not?
No. No, I don't.
Now, Chapter 3! Go forth, and conquerrrrr!
Disclaimer 2: I don't own "Go forth, and conquerrrrrr!" If you can guess where it came from, you get a prize.

"How did that make you feel? Angry? Shocked?"
"I don't understand."
"What did I do to your feelings?"
"You did it to my hand."

"Finally!" Beast Boy cried, running through Titan Tower's front door. "The stupid house is rebuilt!"
Starfire gave a small cheer, and ran inside. "This calls for a celebration involving unhealthy, tasty snacks!"
"We just ate," Raven said, walking past the others.
"Hey! Where're you goin'?" Cyborg said. "You could at least celebrate with us a little."
"Yeah, you must be at least a little happy that Titan Tower's okay," Robin said. Beast Boy snorted.
Raven turned around to look at the others. "I'm not happy," she said. "I don't have any emotions anymore."
"Oh," Robin said. "Right, right."
"What exactly does 'happy' mean again?" Raven asked. The others stared at her.
"Well, it is joy and cheerfulness and fun . . ." Starfire said, listing many, many things that mean "happy."
"So, what does joy mean? And cheerfulness? Fun?" Raven asked. "I can't remember."
"Um, well . . ." Beast Boy tried to come up with a definition. "Happy is when you're . . . smiling . . . and, you feel good, I guess, because something good has happened . . . Heck, how do you describe happy?"
" . . . And glad and healthy and nice . . ."
"Healthy?" Raven asked, turning to look at Starfire. Starfire stopped her trail of words to nod. "I can understand healthy. It means that you're not in pain. I'm in no pain. So, I'm happy."
"Not exactly," Beast Boy said. "I think happy means that you're in no mental pain."
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up," Cyborg said.
Raven looked Beast Boy in the eye. It creeped him out. "So, what's mental pain?"
"Um . . . sadness?"
"What's sadness?"
"Raven," Cyborg said. "Why don't you go watch a movie or something?"
"Fine," Raven said. She walked into the living room and started flipping through their collection of DVDs. Hey, here's a question; if Titan Tower is ten stories tall, then how come the kitchen and living room are in the same room? I mean, there's a little room to spread out. Even if there was one floor dedicated to each of the Titans, there'd still be five floors left over!
"What should I watch?" Raven asked. She obviously didn't care about the living room/kitchen issue. Why don't she CARE? Oh. Right.
"I dunno," Beast Boy said. "Something funny."
"No way," Cyborg said. "You chose last time. I choose now!"
"What do you choose, Cy?" Raven asked, turning to look at him with dead eyes. Cyborg shivered. Beast Boy understood why. Her eyes were just creepy.
"You cold, Cy?" Raven asked, noticing the shiver. "Need a blanket or something?" She couldn't understand Cyborg's emotion. The fear.
"No, no, let's watch . . . A.I.! I love that movie!" Cy grinned. Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire groaned.
"We've seen that a hundred times this week! I'm tired of it," Beast Boy complained.
"We haven't seen it a hundred times, we've only seen it, uh . . ." Cyborg did some quick math. "67 times! That's not even three-fourths to a hundred!"
"Whatever!" Beast Boy said. "I ain't watchin'! I'm goin' to my room. Anyone else here that doesn't want to watch this drivel?"
Raven stood up. "Movies are a waste of time," she said. "I'm going to the gym to work out."
"Why?" Beast Boy said. "Neither of us is watching the movie, we could play a video game or something."
"Video games won't prepare us for bad guys." Raven said. "Strengthening our bodies will." And she left.
~*~
It was dinner. Raven hadn't come down yet.
Beast Boy looked up the stairs, worried. Finally, he said, "I'm going to go check on Raven."
Pushing his seat back, he stood up.
"Forget about her!" Cyborg said. "Her 'instincts' might tell her to chop you up or something. She's creepy now."
"Was she not creepy to start off with?" Starfire asked innocently.
"Guys, cut it out, Raven's our friend," Robin said. "It's not her fault she's like this."
The others started arguing about whether Raven was creepy or not, and Beast Boy just sighed.
He trudged up the stairs reluctantly. He was with Cy. Raven creeped him out too.
"Hey, Raven?" He asked when he finally stepped into the room. She was staring intently at a barbell.
Beast Boy watched her stare, wondering if she had snapped or something. "Raven? Something wrong?"
Raven looked up at Beast Boy. "I can't move it," she said simply.
"Well, duh," Beast Boy said. "You're standing five feet away from it! You have to pick it up, like this," Beast Boy grabbed the barbell and started pulling. After straining his muscles for a few minutes, he let go and smiled sheepishly. "Okay, okay, I can't move it either."
Raven shook her head. "No, I mean with my mind."
Beast Boy slowly looked from Raven, who was staring again, to the barbell.
"Can't you say your spooky magic words?" Beast Boy asked.
Raven closed her eyes. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." She opened her eyes and shook her head. "Nothing."
Beast Boy blinked. "Nothing?"
"My powers were connected to my emotions," Raven said. "I just didn't know they were so attached that they wouldn't work without them."
A cold lump formed in Beast Boy's stomach. Couldn't fight. Raven couldn't fight. She was disabled.
"If your happy, you're in no mental pain," Raven said in that horrible dulled voice. "My mental powers aren't working. So, am I . . . sad?"
For a moment, Beast Boy thought he heard confusion. But then it was gone.
