Hey, yeah, I don't own TT, but whoever does, I worship you! (And
BB)...teehee
Chapter 3 Gone
Robin and Beast Boy rushed to the edge of the roof that Raven had just launched herself from.
"Raven! NO!" cried Beast Boy, looking down at the rocks below.
"BB, she flies. She'll be fine," Robin muttered voice harsh. He hunched his shoulders against the wind. 'Was it this cold out before?' Robin wondered to himself, eyeing the hazy moon.
Turning on his heel, he went inside. BB slid down the wall, head in his hands.
"Raven, please be okay. I don't know what the team would do without you." He closed his green eyes and leaned his head back. 'I'm sorry Rae.'
Raven leaned her head against the wall below. 'I'm sorry too, BB. But I can't out you guys in danger anymore,' she thought. Looking up, she saw a flash of light. 'Shooting star. Too bad wishes never come true.' With that, Raven looked to the ocean, and across to the city. With one final glance back, Raven dived into the ocean.
Pressing the button on her T-Communicator, she held her breath and waited. Soon, she saw what she was looking for.
'Aqualad,' she remarked.
'Raven? What's going on? Why did you call me? Is there trouble above? Where's the rest of the Titans?'
'Sorry, it's just me, and no, there's no trouble up top. I need a place to stay while I'm gone. I just need to leave them for a while.'
Aqualad's face softened. 'Follow me!' he thought, and swam ahead.
Raven followed quickly, and soon they reached the underwater grotto of Atlantis. Shaking her hair back, Raven pulled herself out of the water and sat down.
"So Raven," Aqualad said genially. "Why are you 'gone'?"
Raven looked at him, deep eyes full of pain. "I need to learn to control my powers better. I almost physically hurt BB and Robin tonight. I lost it and the reactor on the roof blew up. I'm not asking for help. Or even companionship." She stopped, blushing. "Just some time."
"Time you shall have. You can stay as long as you want or need here." Aqualad's black eyes smiled. "And you shall have companionship whether you want that or not."
Raven looked up, and amethyst eyes met onyx coolly. "Thank you." She bowed her head, exposing a pale neck to Aqualad. He leaned and placed his lips on it and a cool shiver ran through Raven. "Please no." The nuzzling didn't stop, however.
"You owe me one Raven." Was Aqualad's scarily calm reply.
"No, I don't," she said firmly, pushing him backwards and off of her.
He shoved back hard, and the last thing she knew before passing out was his unwanted weight on top of her. She woke sometime later, quickly sitting up and looking around. "Where am I?" she asked aloud. Suddenly she knew, and tears of pain and humiliation ran down her heart-shaped face. She stumbled to her feet, pain ripping through her small frame, especially through her lower half. "Help." She whispered hoarsely. "Someone please help me." Hanging her head, she paged the only person she could think of. Cyborg. "He did WHAT to you?!" screamed Cyborg angrily. "I'll KILL him! I will rip him APART!" "And how would that make you any better than he?" Raven asked gently from the seat next to him in the T-Car. "How would that change what happened?" She lowered her head and her lavender hair swung forward, obscuring her tear-stained cheeks. "We need to get you to a doctor." Cyborg noted. "NO!" pleaded Raven. "No one can know but you Cy! Please, please..." Cy looked into her wide, fearful eyes and shook his head. "Fine, but you should really go." "If something comes up amiss, I will. I promise." Little did she know how much was amiss. Four months later she sat in her room in Titan Tower. 'What's wrong with me? I have greater control over my powers, but the puking. I can't eat, but I keep gaining weight, and my breasts hurt...Oh gods, please no...' She ran around frantically in search of Cyborg. Robin and Beast Boy watched her apprehensively. "She seems so different lately..." whispered BB to Robin. "I know, she looks different somehow. Like she's got this glow, but she's still so drawn and zapped, like she's hiding something. She's been like that ever since that night..." "Cy! Cy, thank the gods; we need to go to the doctor. Something's wrong...I'll explain on the way." 2 hours later, Raven emerged from the exam room, defeat written all over her delicate features. She hung her head, avoiding Cyborg's concerned gaze. "Rae, you're not...are you?" Raven met his gaze, and he knew. He pulled her to him gently, and stroked her cheek. "This is NOT your fault Raven. And you don't have to go through this..." Raven looked up at him, eyes full of tears. "It works differently for demons, Cy. I'm due in 3 weeks. It's already a little person inside me...I saw it. I saw...her." A small smile appeared at the corners of Raven's rosebud mouth. "I just don't know how I can face everyone now. What will they think?" Cyborg started the car. Turning, he looked at Raven, and placed a hand on the small, but pronounced swell of her abdomen. "They'll understand, little one. And they will love her like they love you." Raven smiled gratefully. "Let's go home, Cy. I have big news."
