I should tell y'all why I've been slow lately about updating. Right now, I'm spending about 13 hours at school because of volleyball. On game days, I have to stay fro Freshman, JV (me) and Varsity games. So… yeah. By the time I get home, I have to do homework, and then my mom goes to bed. (the compu is in her room) so… I'm limited to week ends on which hopefully I don't have things to do. Today I had a tournament. I had to be there at 7:30 on a Saturday. We were there until about 4. So… here I am now! :)

Disclaimer: Time for a riddle! What's one of the many things not owned by me? Teen Titans!

Don't Fall Asleep

Raven was running. She had been running for as long as she could remember down what looked like a peaceful country lane. It was late at night and everything was dark except for a single bright light ahead of her. She tried to run faster to see what the light was, but she was so tired from the running she had already done. But she couldn't stop. Her legs willed her to move on, no matter how badly the rest of her wished to stop.

"Raaa… veeeen!" a voice up in front of her said, dragging out the syllables of her name.

A shadowed figure appeared against the bright light. Raven could not make out any distinct features of the figure except the ears seemed abnormally pointy. She seemed to be getting closer to the light and noticed that the figure was reaching out a hand towards her. She leaned forward to grasp it but just as she did she tripped and went tumbling to the ground.

Raven jerked awake coming to her senses. A dream. It had been a dream. Her room was very dark, the only window that was in there showed it was late at night also.

"Raven! You're awake!" a familiar voice gushed; it took her a few moments to comprehend it as Beast Boy. She started blushing as memories of the past day flooded back to her. She reached for her hood only to find out her cape had been taken off.

"I was so worried!" Beast Boy said throwing himself into the girl's arms. It felt strange for Raven, but she couldn't tell him to get off of her.

"Beast Boy, what happened? What day is today?"

Beast Boy let go of the girl and backed up enough on her bed so he could see all of her. He smiled at her that was filled with warmness.

"You totally saved my life yesterday. After you were knocked unconscious, I was able to fend off Eli until the others arrived. He's being held in Jump prison now."

Raven nodded, and slightly smiled back before repeating herself.

"What day is today?"

Beast Boy mumbled something under his breath as he tapped each of his fingers seemingly counting. He scratched his head, but finally answered.

"Thursday. Why?"

Raven practically jumped out of her bed despite the wave of nausea that hit her. She started pacing around the room frantically.

"What? What's wrong? Raven?"

"No, no, no," Raven mumbled. "This is all wrong. I… I…"

Beast Boy stood up and tried to put his hands on her shoulders, but she swung her hand at him.

"What did I say to you yesterday? Did I say…" she trailed off, getting more and more panicked.

"It's okay. You don't have to be embarrassed about it. I feel the same way."

"No, you can't. I can't. We can't." Raven slowed down, and lowered herself down. "Where're the others?"

"There was a robbery in progress downtown."

"You should have gone with them! You have to go!"

"Why? What's wrong?"

Raven did not answer him but instead walked quickly to her window and threw open her dark curtains that surrounded her window. Moonlight shone brightly through her window. She seemed to stand at the window for hours. Beast Boy didn't understand why she was acting so strange. Raven didn't know why Beast Boy didn't understand. Had she not explained it to him yesterday?

"Raven, I," Beast Boy started to put a hand on her shoulder but stopped.

Raven lowered herself to the ground and put her face in her hands. Beast Boy lowered himself to the ground and wrapped his arms around the shaking girl's body. She was compelled to push him away, but didn't. She hugged him back as he whispered comforting words in her ears.

"Starfire, attack from above, Cyborg, to the left! I'll get him from the front!"

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire were busy downtown fending off the latest villain who though they could get away with a crime. It was getting pretty dark outside, so they were hoping to wrap things up soon.

The agile boy jumped up and down to avoid the titans attacks. Gaia was his name and he had earth moving powers almost identical to their former friend Terra. It was almost like this was her long lost brother.

"I need the money, okay? My mother's dying!" Gaia screamed at them, seemingly almost in tears.

Starfire and Cyborg stopped attack immediately, but Robin did not. It seemed to catch Gaia off guard at just the right moment. They had been fighting for a while, and he had obviously been getting tired. Robin lifted him up by the front of his sky blue t-shirt that had a rain cloud on it.

"But stealing isn't the answer."

"Robin, perhaps he should get a borrow of money from somewhere."

Robin seemed to think this over which was a mistake. As he let go of Gaia, he dropped to his knees and the earth around him covered him up and swallowed him. Robin rushed to a nearby manhole and dropped in but no Gaia. Robin was just about to get lost in though again, but Cyborg spoke.

"Uh, Rob, I think we have a problem," he pointed up at the moon.

It was glowing a blood red color and seemed to be throbbing. The titans stared at the moon for a couple more seconds. Starfire drifted to the ground slowly and collapsed onto the ground. Asleep. Robin and Cyborg both did the same, each falling with a soft pat or a metallic bang.

All around the city, citizens were doing the same.

"Beast Boy? Beast Boy?" Raven shook Beast Boy who had suddenly gone limp within her arms. She shook him as hard as she good but to no avail. He lay on her breathing softly, as she started to panic slightly, she didn't let it show though – even if she was alone.

She felt her body go numb all at once and she lost control of her movements. She felt warmth around her heart grow, and quickly turned to unbearable heat. It traveled up her throat and inside her head. White light flooded out her eyes and mouth for a brief second, and then quickly died away.

Raven brought Beast Boy close against her chest and prepared herself for the end.

Okay, now here's where I'm blabbing about future projects. I'll be working on a Danny Phantom fic in the future, then a Song Quest one. (Drools Kherron!) Whilst this is going on, (or during now) I'll be doing two more Titans Fics. I just couldn't stop. I have an idea for a one shot, and also, the wonderful Let's Point Out the Obvious (aka Julia) is letting me use an idea of her! The chaos! The hilarity! The drama! The… embarrassment? Only time shall tell! :)
