The Titans were leaving the empty warehouse and heading home. They had decided that the hospital wasn't safe, and their infirmary was just as good as any hospital. Beast Boy held Raven in his arms, bridal style (How clichéd), and gazed at her while Robin explained the plan, not really paying attention.
He wondered if Raven had heard what he had told her, the words that he had erupted from his soul, that he couldn't keep hidden any longer. He gazed at her face, asleep in pure innocence, her eyes closed lightly. Her hair shined in the moonlight, her pale skin seeming to shine from the orbs warm glow.
Beast Boy turned to the large window, high above the warehouse floor, the moon shining warmly in the rain-filled night. It shone brightly at him, as if to say 'I'm sorry' almost like it realized his well-masked pain.
"I'll never yell at you again." He whispered quietly through the window, while the moon seemed to shine brighter, reflecting in the large pool of blood on the floor. "I'm sorry too."
The other Titans stared at him, slightly disturbed by his actions.
"Why is Beast Boy talking to the sun of night-time?" Starfire asked, mainly directing her question to one person.
"It's called the moon, Star," Robin answered, "But I'm not sure why he's talking to it."
"Your Earth ways are very strange indeed." Starfire responded, staring at Beast Boy while he glowed in the light of the moon.
You're telling me." Cyborg said, laughing hysterically on the inside, but worried for his friend on the outside.
If Beast Boy had not been so concerned about Raven, he might have noticed the absence of Slade. But he had long since forgotten, and the other titans didn't even know. So Slade slunk silently into the shadows (A/N Say that three times fast!), unseen and unheard, and put his plan into action.
Just as Beast Boy turned to leave the warehouse a low hiss sounded through the air. And, almost instantly, the room began to fill with pink fog, separating the titans from each other. When the mist cleared Beast Boy and Raven had disappeared, and the titans stood against an army of Slade's robot henchmen, with no way out.

Beast Boy regained consciousness a few hours later, a cold liquid, dripping on his head. Beast Boy's eyes were covered by a blindfold, but he could accurately gather what was around him.
"I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
(So much more)"
Beast Boy couldn't move from his position, his arms and legs were bound by some sort of metal. His back ached from where he lay. It was like lying on your back in a grocery cart, the metal prodding your spine.
All that he could smell was blood, he could hear it drip, no, he could feel it! Someone's blood was dripping on his forehead! The thought made him cringe, the thought of cold blood, the scent, very familiar.
"Raven," he called through the darkness, the smell of her blood stung his nose, "Are you okay?"
"No," She answered soundly, though he could feel the pain drip from her words, the crimson regret stinging his heart, "I'm not."
"I lay dying
And I'm pouring
Crimson regret, and betrayal "
"Where are you?" he asked, concerned.
"I'm right above you, you idiot!"
"Can you see?" he asked, hoping she knew where they were.
"I could," she answered, her voice cracking in pain, "I'm not blindfolded or anything, but, all I see... all I see is red. And it hurts so badly."
"What hurts?" He questioned as he transformed. He turned into a snake, freeing him from his binds.
"It's just... everything, it pounds so hard, but it's kind of, everything's... fading away." She finished, dreamily.
"Raven!" He shouted, his voice echoing through the darkness, "Stay with me, I'm right here!"
"I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost, to be saved?
Am I too lost?"
Beast Boy started to stand up, but hit his head, hard, on the same metal cage he had been strapped to. He looked above his head, rubbing the pain away, to see a similar floor as the one that he was on. Arranged sort of like a bunk bed with his floor on the bottom. On the top bunk, lay Raven.
"Are you-"Beast Boy started, but was interrupted by a cold voice, coming through the darkness.
"Don't touch her." Slade warned, his voice seeped with malice.
"Leave me alone," Beast Boy screamed, "Since when do I listen to you? You son-of-a-bitch!"
Beast Boy reached for Raven, his hand barely touched hers, when a small beep sounded through the darkness. Almost instantly blue electricity shot from the metal binds that held her. She screamed in agony, as the blue thunder ripped through her body, making even the tears running down her face fill with pain.
"My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation"
The blue thunder stopped, leaving Raven, gasping for breath, laying on the table, too afraid to even move. Beast Boy turned to Slade, anger burning in his eyes, an anger he had never felt before, it choked his senses, cutting off his awareness, all that he could really see was Slade.
Then his vision turned red as the blood that collected on his forehead seeped in front of his eyes, Raven's blood. He transformed into a tiger ad sprang, and if tigers could cry, he would surely have drowned.
"Do you remember me, lost for so long?
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?"
All that Raven could do was lay there. She heard a roar, a scream, a splatter that she didn't even want to think about, and she could hear her own heart beat, slow and steady.
'Maybe,' she thought, 'A bit too slow'
"I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost, to be saved?
Am I too lost?"
She focused on her heart beat, trying to make it more even, more consistent, but she simply lay in pain, unable to save herself.
'So, this is what it's like to die?' She thought, 'It's very slow, and annoying. And I can't do anything about it.'
"My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
(Return to me salvation)
(I long to die!)"
'Never thought I would die in a place like this,' she admitted, 'At least, not so soon.'
Raven had had hopes of living her life to the fullest, accomplishing everything she had ever wanted to accomplish, and die peacefully, knowing that she had done everything she had ever wanted to do.
"My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation"
'At least,' she consoled herself, 'Beast Boy's here.'
"My wounds, cry for the grave
My soul cries, for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ, tourniquet
My suicide"
'I guess, I guess I can die happy here.' And it faded to black.
