Thanks to everyone that reviewed. Especially FAN1 for telling me that I
had the right phrase. Thank you! This chapter is really kinda sad, so
watch out
Chapter 2
"So, Beastboy, is Raven still mad at you?" asked Starfire.
"Yeah, I guess I went too far with that one..." Beastboy trailed off. He was playing a game not unlike GTA: Vice City. "It's not like I meant to annoy her this time, I just wanted to get something she liked." His character pulled a man from his car at gunpoint and sped off.
"May I inquire as to why you simply did not ask her? It might have saved a great deal of trouble." She paused, watching the game. "Is it a good thing if the character is crawling from a burning vehicle and clutching his chest while bleeding profusely?"
"What?!" The changeling slapped his forehead. "Geez, I never even thought of that. Man, I should go and apologize to her."
"Before you do that Logan, I would like to ask you another question."
"What is it?" His attention had slipped completely from the game.
"Is it intentional for your character to be on the ground surrounded by what appear to be policemen shooting repeatedly at him? This seems like a very unpleasant game."
He looked back at the screen. "Oh, man, I had five unsaved hours on that file." Groaning, Beastboy turned to walk out of the common area.
"BB! Wait!"
The shifter turned around. Terra was running towards him, holding something in her hand.
"What is it, Terra?"
"I just talked to Raven. She told me to give you this. I think she wants to make up with you." She was resting her hands on her knees, apparently she had been running the entire way. "Hey, isn't that GTA: Vice City?"
"Uhh, no, no it's not, and don't tell Robin it's here. Wait." He cocked his head. "Raven wants to make up with me? Really? I'm kinda confused here."
"She said something about 'it's a pointless waste of energy to hold a grudge against someone on your team when it could be used productively elsewhere.' Or something like that. Anyway, she wants you to have this," said Terra, handing him an envelope.
"Sounds like her. Let's see what it says..." Beastboy opened the envelope and removed the piece of paper.
Beastboy, I'd like to end this pointless argument and focus on more important things. Such as protecting the city. I'm not going to forget that you went into my room without permission, I doubt I'll even forgive you within the next decade. But I'm not going let this distract me when I have better things to think about. Meet me alone at the north end of the Jump City bridge at ten 'o clock tonight. We'll discuss this further there.
-Raven
"So, what's it say?" Terra asked excitedly. "Well? C'mon, tell us!"
"Calm down, my friend. If Beastboy wants us to know he will tell us."
Beastboy's eyes had widened to just shy of dinner plates. "It says she wants to meet me alone tonight," he finally managed. "What should I do?"
"Meet her?" suggested Starfire. "I don't think it do any harm to you."
"Yeah, I agree with Star. I'm pretty sure she just wants to talk."
"Hmmm..." thought Logan. "Well, yeah, I guess it couldn't hurt. Yeah, I'll do that." He sat back down on the couch. "Now, time to get back to my game."
10 o'clock that night
Beastboy checked his watch. Ten o'clock, precisely. The street lamp he was under sputtered and the pool of light it cast flickered.
"You're on time," came a monotone voice to his left. "I'm somewhat surprised," remarked Raven.
"What did you want to talk about? My going into your room?" asked Garfield, turning to face her.
"Of course. Although I'm curious as to why you choose this spot to meet. It looks like a set-up to me."
"What do you mean, 'why I chose this spot'? You're the one who invited me here."
"No, you did. I have the note you wrote right here." Raven waved the note in front of him.
"Actually, I did," said a shadow from behind Raven. The empath stiffened, then crumpled at the shadow's feet. As she did, the light played upon the assassin's features. It was Terra.
"Raven! Are you alright?"he asked, supporting her body. She fixed him with an extremely sarcastic look. Her mouth gaped like a fish's but no sound escaped her lips. He felt along her back until he traced along the wound. "Her lung. You collapsed her lung. She can't even whisper," he said numbly. She only gave him a cold smile and held up the bloody knife. "Why did you do this?!" he screamed at her.
"Don't you see? I wanted to be with you. But she," she spat, pointing the knife at Raven. "She was between us, I couldn't let her steal you away from me. So I killed her and I set you free. Now, there's nothing stopping us from being together."
Hot tears streamed down his face. He pulled out his communicator. " Robin, get down here." He replaced his communicator and set Raven's now limp body on the ground.
"It doesn't matter. She'll be dead by the time they get here. Come on, we should leave now," she said, putting a hand on Beastboy's arm.
"Don't touch me!" he yelled, removing his arm from her touch.
"I-I don't understand," she faltered. "Don't you love me?"
"Damn you Terra! I loved Raven! And I used to love you. But I can't anymore." He leapt at her, felt himself shift into a tiger. His world went red. Then black.
