A/N ~ Took me long enough to write just this chapter! Jeez!!! :P Anyway, I finally got some GREAT inspiration from a song, and 'Soundproof' should be coming along better now. ^^ To thank the Artists and the song that they wrote, I might use the song later for a song fic. O.o Well, enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 3 - Just Sleep
Grrr...I should have meditated more. I'm getting too restless. It feels like it's been nearly an hour since the others left! Where the heck could they have gone! I don't want to be stuck with this...with this...BOY! I've been here so long that I'm running out of insults! That...is not a good sign.
"Beast Boy..." I called, speaking softly for no apparent reason. "Beast Boy." I thought that he was guarding the right side of the wall...He's fallen asleep! Argh...Oh well. Can't wake him up; have to keep watch. He looks so relaxed, though...so peaceful. "That's my conclusion: we're opposites. Always different..."
I floated over the blockade in the alley to check on the prisoners. Looks like they've fallen asleep too...what amateur. The least they could do is make this interesting my banging around in the corner or something. This is so boring...
"Hello Raven!" Yes! It's Starfire! "Did you have fun?"
I sighed, looking down at the ground. "No," I said, pointing to Beast Boy. "I didn't, at least. He might have."
Cyborg was laughing at the puddle of drool that Beast Boy had collected in his absence of mind. Starfire laughed out of the amusement of Cyborg's laughing. Even Robin turned away to chuckle to himself. Quite stupid, actually. I was the only one not laughing. The whole situation was normal to me. BB's the only person that this could have happened to, so it's not a surprise. Of course, I can't just leave him to be laughed at. We may be opposites, and that I'm supposed to be 'emotionless', but I can at least empathize with him...Right?
"Beast Boy," I whispered quietly into his ear, nudging his leg slightly. "Come on, I know that you don't want to be embarrassed like this...," I whispered even softer. He quivered slightly at my voice, and his eyes started to open.
He looked puzzlingly at me. "What'd I do?" he asked, getting to his feet.
"You fell asleep, moron!" yelled Cyborg, prancing up and down like it was some kind of a prank. "Sleepy much?"
"Dude! How could I have fallen asleep, I was guarding the prisoners!"
I rolled my eyes under my hood and floated off. That would have been OK under other circumstances, but BB just couldn't put a rest to it.
"And you!" he yelled, pointing an accusing finger at me. "If I was sleeping, why didn't you wake me up?" Oh, here we go. Around and around, getting mad until he accuses someone else.
I turned back. "Maybe I wanted to let you sleep again? If you're tired enough to take two naps, you probably need it," I suggested, taking my hood off.
Everyone stopped. "Now why would you want to be nice to Beast Boy?" said Cyborg sarcastically. "You're never nice to him."
"I bet that she just wanted to humiliate me!" said Beast Boy, crossing his arms in his moment.
"What?" I asked boringly. "I have no need to humiliate you. You do that well enough."
He morphed into a creepy looking cat and hissed at me. Kind of scary... "What's that? Just die why don't you! You have no need to be a Titan!"
I remained silent. I couldn't let him know how deeply that hurt. I had to stay emotionless and quiet. 'Just die why don't you!' he said. Being a Titan is why I haven't yet, the fool! If saving people is so cruel, then I really have no need to be a Titan, do I? That dirty little bastard! Making me into the mock of the group.
Starfire stepped between us with a nervous smile on her face. "Let us just go home. The police will come soon, so we have no need to guard the criminals. And maybe we can watch the TV to relax!" She clasped her hands together in joy. "Come! Let us go!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me into a run, away from Beast Boy. She just didn't want anything bloody; she's smart.
We flew back to the tower and waited for the others to get here. For such a dreary day, it sure is nice out. It doesn't match the mood at all. The sun is shining, brighter than usual, and the water is so calm. You the only thing disturbing it is the fish, weaving in and out of the surface. Each like a sewing needle weaving through a piece of cloth. There's only a slight breeze, a very pleasant one at that. I hate it. All of it is too happy; everyone except the Titans is having a good day today. How pitiful.
"Starfire. I'm going to my room," I said, drifting towards it, slowly. "If Beast Boy tries to come up for ANY reason, don't let him."
She nodded and ran to the door to wait for the others some more. Starfire's too kind for her own good. Glad I'm not so happy all of the time, my head would explode...literally.
Flying became boring, so I decided to shuffle my feet along the floor. The repetative sound of 'shoosh' comforted me a bit. The little things are so pleasant sometimes, aren't they. Just a simple sound thaws my cold and lightless heart...just pathetic. My room will take care of that feeling. Every feeling I have will be taken away. At last...sanctuary.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A/N ~ So, how'd you like it? Don't tell me now...REVIEW! I like people telling me what I did wrong, or what they want more of, OK? I accept flames from anyone who's willing, but if you don't really mean it, tell me at the end. (I don't like knowing that people ACTUALLY don't like me, you know?)
