Chapter 8: Morning
Beast Boy awoke around seven thirty to some rustling sounds. He gazed sleepily out of the bag and saw one of Raven's dark ribbons moving some dry wood onto the fire. She must have been tending the fire all night sub-consciously through her power. Raven and from the looks of it, the others were still asleep. Now Raven was curled up into a ball next to his chest.
Beast Boy got out of the sleeping bag carefully, so he wouldn't wake Raven. He went into the woods again to fetch a few more medium size pieces of wood. It was something to do and he needed to think. Raven and Beast Boy were friends nothing more nothing less, why then last night did it seem like Raven wanted more? Raven began to mumble again very softly, she did it off an on last night as well. His ears would good at picking things up no one else could hear or make out. He also did know more animal languages then most human knew human languages.
As he came back with the wood he could hear her mumbling even more clearly. She seemed to be talking to her other selves. To controller her powers she has to keep her other emotions at bay thought concentration and meditation. However in these past twelve or so hours she hasn't had a chance to do any of that. Maybe last night was her stress showing up? Throwing a small maple log on the fire caused some sparks to fly up. It was very entrancing, the more he thought about it the more he thought that he might be right. Since Raven wasn't able to channel her emotions the way she normally does, it is possible one of her emotions might of half gotten out. He had seen the effects of some of her emotions when they get out like happiness or hate. They were easy to spot usually leading to something exploding. However, what if something more subtle got out? Like lust? Yes, he thought that could be it. If lust had gotten out it could explain everything. Lust, while not as flash as the other emotions could still be very dangerous; then again she could just want to be more and that was her way of saying it. They had shared beds in the past, maybe she just didn't want to go through the hassle of getting another bag, when one big enough for both of them was right there. He heard Cyborge and Starfire open the car doors, this was already becoming more of a headache then he wanted this early in the morning. He decided not to bring anything up and if she doesn't he would forget about it.
Roughly twenty minutes later, Raven woke up the same non touch feely Raven. They decided to continue up to Wayne Manor and do some investigating of their own. Soon they were at the gates of Wayne Manor; it was a very dark cloudy day so sneaking in was not a problem. The darkness gave them an advantage or at least they thought it did. There were sneaking through the garden hidden next to one of the many statuesque bushes.
"Breakfast is being served shortly" Alfred said standing right behind the Titans.
"Huh" Beast Boy managed to get out. The rest of them just stared blankly into Alfred face. They had gotten into places with a thousand times better security with no traces and a butler find them in less than five minutes.
"We've been expecting you," Alfred replied, "Breakfasts. This way, please."
