I know, I know, I'm terrible at updating. I have school now, and volleyball for two hours of each day, and then an hours homework, but well, here's the next chapter. I have most of the story planned out now, so yayness, I just haven't figured out how to get them fully together without being really really out of character. But the show must go on! :)

So Far From Me

Beast Boy dropped Raven to the ground after arriving at the crime scene. Outside stood a huge plaque that said "Fine Arts Museum". From the outside, nothing appeared to be wrong. No mayhem, no screaming people, nothing exploding. Robin glanced at Raven once before instructing the Titans they were to make an aerial attack from above the building, through a skylight.

Robin had tied a rope around his birdarang and used it to scale the wall. Starfire grabbed Cyborg's shoulders and lifted him off of the ground. Raven started to sit down before Beast Boy once again grabbed her shoulders via dinosaur claws. On the top of the building, the titans all looked through the skylight window and saw… nothing. The museum was completely empty of people – and of the artwork. Robin kicked through the glass which shattered easily. The rest of the team followed.

Robin looked around in suspicion of the museum. They were in a cross section of a corridor that split into four separate hallways. He took the initiative to start instructing.

"I'll go left, Cyborg, go right, Raven, you and Sta…"

"Beast Boy, we'll go straight. Leaving Star to go behind," Beast Boy cut Robin off. Before anyone could protest, he sauntered off forward, dragging the still reluctant Raven by the wrist. The rest of the titans soon took off in the directions that had been given. Starfire watched as Robin went in his direction, and smiled widely at their courageous leader before flying off in her direction.

Beast Boy and Raven had reached a dark hallway of the museum. Instead of becoming an animal so he could see better, he stayed human to try and make conversation with the unwilling girl he had brought against her will. Raven could stand the conversation Beast Boy was trying to make, she just didn't like where it was going.

"It's later Raven. Time to talk."

She didn't say anything.

"Do you like me?" Still nothing. "Why won't you answer me?"

"Love is a pointless emotion that I have no need of."

"I know you like someone. Who is it?"

"Beast Boy, even if I did love someone, I could never let it show. I'm too dangerous to let my emotions out. I'm sorry okay?"

Beast Boy thought for a moment.

"But you meditate so much, doesn't that help?"

"You just don't understand…" she said, trailing off. Beast Boy whirled around and grabbed her shoulders making her face him.

"You won't let me understand. You won't let anyone understand. You're always locked so far away from me. Can't you see I don't want to be just friends with you?"

"I… I…"

A loud sound of breaking wood was heard above the two and they instinctively look up just as a person two times the normal height of a man fell between the two causing them to go flying in opposite directions. When Raven got back to her feet she got a better look at the man. He had dark purple hair spiked on his head and bright blue eyes. He wore a leather body suit that hugged him in all the right places showing off an almost alien like muscle.

"Where. Is. My. Girlfriend?" he voice was slow and sounded like he was in deep pain.

He hit the ground with such force it felt like an earthquake. Where were the other titans? Beast Boy turned into a bear and started striking him with his gigantic paws.

"Not. Hurt. Eli. (a/n pronounced Ee-lee). Anymore." He punched Beast Boy into a near-by wall causing him to make a BB sized crack in the wall.

"No!" Raven said as she ran at Eli not having yet figured out a plan to stop him.

"Where. Is. Dark. Melody?" he said punching the wall, knocking several paintings to the ground. "I. Bring. Her. Many. Presents. Of. Pictures."

Raven punched his leg with all her might, and was just about to be hit hard when Beast Boy distracted Eli from his attack. Raven stood standing in the middle of the room trying to think of what to do when she saw something that made her heart drop. Eli had somehow managed to get a hold of a marble statue and was about to hit Beast Boy with it. Beast Boy's foot was caught in a crack in the ground and he couldn't move.

Raven had never run so fast in her life before. Right as Eli swung at Beast Boy, Raven pushed her way in front of him and was instead struck by the swinging marble. Her limp body was flung across the room as Beast Boy screamed words she could not comprehend. She felt blood making it's way to her mouth. Everything seemed as if it had stopped.

Beast Boy was hovering over her looking panic stricken. He put his hand to her mouth to silence her and calm her, but she spoke anyways.

"To… answer your question. Yes. I do have feelings for you."

She placed her head against the wall, and blinked as she faded in and out of consciousness. She heard people screaming and crying, and things being broken before everything finally went dark.

I want more, I don't mind spending every day, out on the corner in the pouring rain look for the girl with the broken smile ask her if she wants to stay a while, she will be loved... Maroon 5.

I got their CD, it's nifty, that song's sad to me though. I'm thinking of starting another story soon (after i finishe this one, in a couple more chapters) I haven't decided yet, a Danny Phantom fic first, or a Song Quest fic first?
