Getting together was the easy part... it's staying together that
will be a challenge. Especially with Slade up to no good.
All You Needed
Chapter 2: Plea
Raven sighed and gazed around her dark room. She shook her head in disappointment as the traces of Beast boy's earlier presence was scattered about the room. She muttered three words under her breath and Beast boy's shirts and video games slowly turned a black color. She levitated the objects and clothing into a small basket in the corner. The two were on close terms with each other, even more when she had told him of her feelings of what was going to happen.
She slowly turned her head to gaze at the mirror on her drawer top. She walked over and looked down, studying the mirror as it laid glass down on the wooden top. Raven's hand went forward and touched the oddly shaped mirror with her fingers before taking a hold onto the handle. With a deep sigh enveloping in her throat, she lifted the delicate object up and gazed at her reflection on the other side.
She studied the girl that stared back at her for a moment or two. "You guys can feel it, too... can't you?" she asked the mirror with a low voice so not to be heard by any one else. Slowly, a new Raven appeared into the reflection dressed in a brown cloak. "Worry," she muttered under her breath in response to this.
She was worried. Worried about her friends, but most of all for Beast boy. And it was beginning to effect her control on her powers. Every time she thought about it more and more, something would explode or levitate against her will. She sighed once more and placed the mirror back on the drawer top as she had found it.
Raven moved to the center of her room. Slowly, she levitated into the air with her legs crossed indian style. Raven closed her eyes and began to concentrate on what will come in the future rather than what she usually meditated about.
Raven looked around. Torn down buildings surrounded her from each side she turned to. A familiar voice rang into the air before the sound of a crash and something exploding was heard. Her head turned to a particular spot to the right of her. There she saw a figure dressed in a blue cloak kneeling over another being.
Slowly and afraid, she took a few steps toward them.
"I can heal you," the Raven she watched replied as she held out her hands over the hurt being below her.
A pair of purple gloved hands reached up to stop her. "Save your energy," Beast boy replied in a loving voice as he let his head fall back to the ground. "You are going to need it..."
"Beast boy, I'm so sorry," the future Raven replied as she shook her head and let tears flow from her eyes. "I didn't mean it! I swear..."
Raven watched the pair from a far. What is going on? she thought What am I suppose to be sorry about? What have I done to him?
Beast boy shook his head. "You meant no harm," he told her in a low voice. "I love you..."
His eyes closed and he appeared to lose consciousness. Raven watched him for a moment and then stood up. She tightened her palms into fists and looked over to the other part of the city where smoke began to rise and fill the sky.
"I love you, too," she whispered. Her eyes moved away from the green boy on the ground and then all of her attention switched to the area filled with smoke. "He will not get away with this!"
"Raven!" Beast boy's voice rang out as she waved a hand over Raven's open eyes. "You in there?"
The gothic shut her eyes and shook her head. "Huh?" she began before looking at Beast boy. "What's going on?" she asked, dazed from the vision she had.
"I said, do you want to go eat? The foods ready," Beast boy replied with a worried look on his face. "Are you all right?"
Raven landed on the floor with a thud. "I'm fine," she lied as she looked the other way. "Um, food?" she asked with a confused look on her face. "Yeah, let's go."
Beast boy watched as Raven walked to the entrance of her room and stopped. "Raven?" he called out. "Are you sure that you are ok?"
She sighed and nodded, yet didn't turn to look back at him. "I'm fine. When I say that I am fine! I mean it!" Without another word said, Raven opened the door and left the room in a hurry. Beast boy sighed before leaving as well to catch up.
"Let us feast!" Starfire shouted in glee just as Raven and Beast boy joined the three in the dining room.
"We got the all you can eat buffet!" Cyborg shouted as he set another plate of food on the table in front of them. "You can find the whole refrigerator here and ready to be eaten!"
Beast boy looked at each plate with a uncertain look on his face. "Everything? I don't see tofu here!" Beast boy complained as he motioned at the table and looked at Cyborg at the same time. Raven shook her head and sat down. "How could you say that there is everything when there is no tofu?"
"My bad," Cyborg began with a frown as he sat down. "I was referring to 'real food'!"
Beast boy gave a look of hatred at his half human friend. "Cheap shot," he muttered as he turned to make himself some tofu meal.
Raven watched as her green boyfriend left the room. She shook her head once more and frowned. If my vision is true and Beast boy really does die... then what happens to the others? she asked herself as she took a glance at each of the titans.
She watched as Cyborg laughed and told a joke while stuffing food into his mouth at the same time. Then, she took her gaze towards Robin and Starfire, who were laughing at Cyborg's joke and giving each other secretive looks. Finally, she turned her gaze back towards Beast boy who was in the other room, making a tofu sandwich while cursing about Cyborg.
Beast boy... I can't bare to lose you... Raven thought to herself as she studied his movements. How can I protect you from something I know is coming, but can't exactly tell what it is?
Present...
Raven struggled as hard as she could to free herself from the bindings that held her down. She mumbled her frustration through the tape that was neatly placed over her lips as she found she had lost all of her energy trying to free herself. She sighed in exasperation and went limp with fatigue. Her eyes looked over to see Slade watching the screen in front of him. Her eyes followed his gaze and found a gruesome sight, causing her to struggle once more.
Beast boy! Please be all right! She thought to herself. How did I let myself fall so easily into his trap? I should have been more aware of this! How did I miss it?
She closed her eyes and mentally pictured herself being kidnapped in the middle of the night and awaking in this position. Slade turned to notice her struggle to slip out of the machine's grasp.
"Still fighting it?" Slade asked in wonder. "Of course you are. Don't worry... it's almost ready."
Huh? What's almost ready? What the hell is going on? Raven wondered as Slade turned his back on her once more to study the screen. Mark my words, Slade! If I ever get out of here... you are going to regret ever messing with me! I swear it! Her eyes furrowed inward as her eyes turned a white color.
One week and a half ago...
Beast boy looked around the living room and spotted the cloaked girl on the couch reading a book. "Oh, who's my favorite gothic reader in the world?" he asked as he walked over to Raven, casually. The pacifist look up in wonder and raised an eyebrow. "That's right!" Beast boy began as he pointed at Raven with both index fingers. "You are!"
Raven couldn't help, but smile. She shook her head and let her book call beside her on the couch. "I swear," she began. "Your brain gets smaller everyday."
Beast boy jumped up and landed beside her on the couch. He grinned as he placed his head on her shoulders and gazed up at her. "Now, you don't really mean that!" he insisted with a laugh as he rubbed his head deeper into her neck. "You're comfortable, Rae."
She didn't say anything. Silence fell over the room. Images from her vision continued to haunt her mind, causing her to grimace and look away from the boy against her. "Beast boy," she whispered in a low voice. "I love you..."
He lifted himself back up and stared at her in surprise. She wasn't the type of person to just say it the way she just had. Usually, it took Beast boy hours to get her to confess it. Yet, here she was with out any pressure just blurting out what she felt about him. Even more surprising that she had said it outside of her room where any one else could hear her.
"Raven?" his tone and expression deepen into a more serious mood as he continued to stare at her. "Is it about the vision you had?" She didn't answer. "Raven," he called out as his hand went to her chin and forced her to face him. "Nothing is going to happen to me... so just forget about it!"
"I can't," she breathed out sounding as if she was about to cry. "Please... if there is a serious fight anytime soon, please... don't worry about me. Just run as far as away as you can."
Beast boy continued to stare at her. "You're really serious," he noted as he stood up and turned around.
Suddenly, she came before him and wrapped her arms around his body. "Just promise me!" she began to beg. "I can't bare to lose you..."
He looked down at her and then placed his hands around her. "Don't worry about me, Raven," he consoled her. "I'm a Teen Titan! Just like you. What ever you are predicting that is going to attack us... we can beat it. I just know we can."
She released her grip on him just as the door swung open, revealing Cyborg. He took a look at them, having an idea of what he walked into. Slowly, he looked away after noticing Raven's back toward him.
"Jesus!" he cried out as he made a face. "The least you can do is to that stuff in the privacy of your room!"
Raven wiped her eyes and then made a straight face as she turned around. "I was just leaving," she informed him as she kept her gaze away from Beast boy. She moved past Cyborg and disappeared into the dark hallways. "I need to meditate," she concluded as she headed straight to her room.

Yeah, I'm taking things slow. I'm liking how this is going. I'm kind of surprised with all the reviews you all sent it. I thought it'd get like 5 the most. Heh. I know that I am not doing much of Robin and Star together, but I'm trying to keep this based solely on Beast boy and Raven. I'm trying to add more of the other characters and making them play a good role in the story.
Thank you for your sympathy in my lost classmate. I think of him now and then, but I am no longer sadden. Anyway, thanks! See ya next time!.
