Okay, I have good news and bad news... bad news first (Ducks at thrown fruit)
The bad news is that there will only be about two more chapters left in this story. (Tears up from all the puppy-dog eyes) I'm sorry!
The good news is that they will all be songfics!! And that I'm planning a sequal, which I hope that you will all check out. I'll update and tell you the name and all that once I put it up on the site, and trust me, you won't believe what will happen next.
Don't be mad, don't throw things at me, and don't yell at me!! I have the power to stop this fic right now!! Be glad I don't grill all your asses!!
Also, T-S-S, I don't think I'll have time to fight the Terra clones in this fic, maybe in the sequal. They'll be the first assassins in the new sequal, kay?
(Swat team busts down door) Get her, don't let her escape!!
N/M Shin: What did I do now!! Go away, or I'll sick my werewolves and giant cookie on you!!
Swat officer: They told us you were crazy... but not that crazy!! Anyway, you're under arrest for skipping the disclaimer twice!
N/M Shin: Oh, you're here to arrest me? (Pulls out plasma cannon) That changes everything! (Blasts scary swat-people)
Jax, catch! (Passes Hairaikotsu to Jax) Terra, watch Ginger's back, be a team!!
(Swat team swarms our heroes, and Terra) Okay, just need one more player (Presses button on watch) BIG O!!!

The alarm sounded through the halls, making all of the Titans jump in shock.
"Could you guys take care of this one again?" Beast Boy asked, "Raven still needs a little help walking."
He smiled at her from across the table, making her blush, though it was hidden by her hood. The tray they had left in the hall began to melt from her sudden embarrassment.
"This doesn't look good," Robin answered worriedly, looking up at the monitor, "We're gonna need the whole team for this."
"Even Raven?" Beast Boy asked, hoping he had misheard.
"Yes," He answered, "Even Raven."
"You heartless bastard!" Beast Boy screamed, "She can barely even walk!"
"She can fly, Beast Boy," He answered angrily, "And we might need her to help the non-flying members, she won't be in danger, don't worry."
"Hello," He retorted, "You're the only 'non-flying' member now you fuckin' idiot!"
Beast Boy was about to yell more curses at Robin, but a black orb surrounded his head, muting his voice. Beast Boy noticed the black energy around his head, but continued yelling, as if he thought that he could break the sphere with his voice.
"How come you never did that before?" Cyborg asked, laughing at his own joke.
"Hello, Titans?" Robin waved his hands above his head, "Giant monster, mass chaos, go help?"
So the Titans piled into the T-car, ready for a good fight. But Raven felt uneasy about something, she just didn't feel right. And for a psychic, that's bad.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny"
The T-car skidded to a halt in front of a small building. The building was about two-stories tall, made of sturdy brick, but the top floor had been completely torn off, and all of the glass lay in shards on the ground.
"Holy crap!" Beast Boy yelled, "It tore that building in half!"
"This doesn't look good." Cyborg said, pointing towards the city. The Titans gaze followed his pointed finger to a tall skyscraper, maybe twenty stories tall, and next to it was a huge monster, even taller than the huge building.
"That things a freakin' mountain!" Beast Boy yelled in amazement, his eyes growing wide.
Raven gazed at the monster. It was easily fifty feet tall, maybe taller, and was almost like a living shadow. Its fur was black and shiny, sleek against its broad body. The monster almost looked like a lion, but lacked the proud and majestic qualities. Its eyes were bright yellow slits, glaring from its furry face.
The monster had large bat-like wings, each a deep crimson red, and easily bigger than even their huge tower. Its fangs seemed too big for its head, and shined, slick with blood. It had hooked raptor-like claws, one had some poor civilian stabbed on it, the thought made her want to slink away, but her friends were advancing towards the monster, and she followed.
The Titans flew in quickly, not even noticing the beast's reptilian tail, hidden behind its back, until it was flung out. The creature's tail hit Raven hard, throwing her into the brick wall of an alley. She fell on the ground and shook for a few seconds. Beast Boy came soaring towards her.
"When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie"
"Raven! Oh my god, Raven!"
The cry brought Raven out of the light daze she was in, she sat up and brushed herself off, like it was no big deal. And it really wasn't, she didn't hurt that much at all. But her head felt strange, like something was pouring into it.
"I'm fine, actually." She answered, amazed that she didn't even hurt a little. She flew back up to the fight. For some reason, she didn't feel like talking to him. Part of her wanted to talk to him, but a larger part of her thought she didn't, that it wouldn't feel good. That part of her just wanted to fight alone, it didn't want to talk, it wanted to be by itself, away from him.
"When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel"
As Raven circled the beast's head she felt her urge of solitude slip away, now she felt normal, and wished Beast Boy would comfort her like he wanted to. But he, along with the other Titans, was fighting, and she was too.
She flung a bus at its face, hitting it squarely in the jaw, causing it to reel back. The monster fell on its haunches and blinked, as if it couldn't gather what was happening. Cyborg and Starfire took aim and hit it with a barrage of energy blasts before it could get up, and succeeded in frying one of its wings.
The monster hissed in pain and brought its wing close to its body, it used the other wing to knock Star and Cyborg out of the sky, but they recovered before they hit the ground.
"Raven!" Beast Boy yelled, flying towards her as a pterodactyl, "Give me a boost!"
He transformed into a kangaroo and turned his back towards Raven, "Now!"
"Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall"
Raven sent an energy blast from behind him, shooting him with awe-inspiring speed towards the beast's head. He kicked the monster's head hard, with the power of twenty wrecking balls, and knocked it down to the ground.
The creature lay on its side on the ground, stunned by the hard-hitting attack. Robin sped towards it, throwing one of the many devices on his belt at its back. The device emitted a hissing sound and exploded, shining a blinding light for a few seconds.
When the light cleared Raven opened her eyes to see Beast Boy falling, blinded by the light. She flew towards him and grabbed him under his arms, catching him as he opened his eyes.
The Titans gazed at the monster, which had hardened to stone before their very eyes, like a statue.
"Wow, where did you get that one Robin!" Cyborg asked, excited by Robin's new 'toy'.
"I invented it while I was studying Terra's condition, it can't be reversed." He said coolly.
"We make a pretty good team!" Beast Boy smiled up at Raven, noticing the shocked look on her face.
"We are a team," she answered, "You idiot."
"This has gone on so long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me"
The rock-solid beast began to tremble, causing a small tremor to shake the ground. It busted out of the thin layer of rock, sending shards of cement through the air. They crashed into buildings and smashed cars, and Raven gasped as one flew towards her, she couldn't move, like a deer stuck in headlights, and dropped Beast Boy to the ground, who quickly transformed.
"When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel"
Beast Boy transformed into a pterodactyl and flew up to Raven, who simply hovered in the air. He threw himself between her and the large shard of rock. It slammed him into her as it collided with his chest, and he felt a twinge of guilt that he hadn't really helped the situation.
Beast Boy could feel his consciousness slowly slip away, and saw that Raven's expression looked glazed over as well. He reached for her hand as they fell, and held it tight as they careened down to Earth.
"Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall"
They both hit the ground, hard, at the same time. The concrete landing had hurt immeasurably, but all that Beast Boy could do was look on in horror as the huge concrete shard fell after them, crushing Raven underneath its weight.
"Raven!" Beast Boy shouted through his tears, "No!"
Raven could hear his voice, but couldn't see him. She felt almost no pain, but could feel the warm blood sliding down her back. And felt a heavy, crushing pressure on top of her, something that she couldn't push away, like it was too heavy.
"My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
On you, my dear"
Beast Boy pulled the shattered rock off of Raven the best he could, not even noticing the other titan's help. His tears fell down on the hard stones, making them slippery as he tried to pull them away.
"When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel"
It was Starfire who found her first, picking her gingerly off of the ground. She fought back tears but they still ran down her face. She wasn't very badly injured, but pulling someone out of a pile of rubble would make anyone a little emotional.
"Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall"
Raven's world slowly came into focus, and the first thing she saw was Starfire sobbing over her. Not exactly who she would have expected.
"Star, I think I'm okay." She reassured her friend, picking herself up. She didn't like pity, she could take care of herself.
"Can't be reversed, huh!" Beast Boy yelled at Robin, as he rushed to Raven's side, "Can't be reversed my ass!"
Robin ignored Beast Boy's statement and realized something. 'Why is it mainly attacking Raven?' he thought, 'Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring her here, but she seems to be fine.'
Beast Boy hugged Raven tightly against his chest, she could feel his rapid heartbeat, and, even though she shouldn't, she felt relaxed, more relaxed than she had ever felt, since the day she was born. So safe, in such danger.
"Thank god," he whispered in her ear, "I thought I had lost you for the third time."
"Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall"
The ground trembled as the monster thundered towards them, slamming them with its huge tail across the road, yet, they still stayed in each other's arms, afraid to let go,
"Go fight," she assured him, as they skidded to a stop in an alleyway, "I'll stay here." She released herself from him and stood in the alleyway they had been thrown into, walking towards him and gripping his arm, he winced in pain as she healed it, and he tugged her closer to him.
He pulled her face closer to his and cupped his hand on her cheek, going for a deep kiss. As they kissed it seemed the world had stopped. They could hear nothing but each other's breathing, and their eyes were closed in passion. (A/N I loved writing this part!)
"When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together,
I don't feel together,"
The monster shot its eyebeams between the two, the other titans were pinned against a wall by the creature's tail, unable to help. Beast Boy transformed into a T-rex, but was still a bit short compared to the beast before him.
"When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together"
"How sweet, little dark bird."
