Author's Note: Sorry I didn't update sooner! My brother accidentally- (coughcoughmorelikepurposelycoughcough) deleted my 14th chapter so I had to write it again! Then he deleted it again which has no confirmed that he's doing it on purpose. So once I finished it, I printed it just in case he deleted it. And he deleted it so I had to write it again. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Shadowed Past

Starfire and Robin opened the door to the Titans Tower. They started walking up to the main room. They were groaning because they were tired and they had a large bag full of homework, not to mention somebody bashed their lockers. Before they opened the door, they heard a Beast Boy cheering.

"Wow, dudette, why didn't you tell me you were a great at video games?"

"I don't think I'm that..."

"Did I say great? I meant excellent! You beat me forty seven times!!! I was doing my best and you thrashed me like I was nothing!"

Starfire and Robin looked at each other. Beast Boy never admitted defeat. They opened the door, intrigued to see who Beast Boy was talking to. On the TV, it was flashing "Player 2: 47 Player 1: 0. Player 2 Wins!". Their eyes wandered to the couch where Beast Boy and Prue were sitting, eating some hot chips.

It was Prue. Alive and well! Well, maybe not well. She had thick bandages around her wrists and she was very pale from losing some blood.

"Friend Prue! You are alright!" said Starfire. She ran to give her a death hug. But before she could, Beast Boy cried out.

"No Star! May-L - I mean Prue, is still very frail from..." Beast Boy drifted off, eyes filled with fear.

"...the operation..." May-Lin finished.

Beast Boy and Robin both gave looks of thanks to Prue. Beast Boy, because he didn't want to talk about it. Robin, because he thought that Starfire would faint if he had to explain 'suicide' to her.

There was a long pause...

"Uh... Prue... can I talk to you for a second? In my room?" Beast Boy asked.

Robin could tell that Beast Boy wasn't going to try anything. His face was serious, eyes filled with fear, worried lines on his forehead, a fake smile on his face, all happiness drained out. Prue could see this too.

"Okay" she whispered, miserably. She had a feeling it involved the earlier incident. But Beast Boy deserved to have the chance to question her. She wouldn't be in this world anymore if it weren't for him. They walked out of the main room and headed towards Beast Boy's Bedroom.

As Beast Boy and May-Lin left, someone entered. Raven and...

"Hello friend Raven... and who is the male companion who is accompanying you?" enquired Starfire.

"This is Sapphire...he's the boy I sit next to" Raven answered.

"Why weren't you at school after Biology? And why'd you invite him over today? I told you that we titans would be doing training on the new course!" Robin asked.

Raven and Sapphire blushed. Several light bulbs exploded, the kettle exploded and a saucepan melted. Raven recovered quickly.

"Why didn't you get angry with Beast Boy for bringing Prue here? We heard you four talking"

"Well, Prue committed..." Robin started.

"What did she commit, friend Robin?" asked Starfire.

"Um...uh...nothing Star..." Robin said. He did not want to upset the beautiful, alien girl.

Robin gave Raven and Sapphire a look that said don't-mention-suicide-to-her-she'll-be-terribly-upset. They got the idea. Drop the subject.

"I'm going to my room to get my dark poetry. Sapphire and I are going to share ours. Sapphire, you stay here. No one goes into my room. Not even you" Raven ordered.

"Friend Robin, I think we should get out of their way... Raven might not want us to listen to her and Sapphire's dark poetry...maybe we should go to the roof" Starfire whispered to Robin as Raven headed to her room.

Robin and Starfire left and soon enough, Raven came back.

Meanwhile, in Beast Boy's Bedroom.

"What do you want to talk about?" May-Lin asked.

"Well, I want you to answer a few questions" Beast Boy replied.

"What do you want to ask me?" asked May-Lin.

"Well, I wanna...I wanna ask you...about your family..."

"What about them?"

"May-Lin, did something happen between you and your parents? Why don't you ever talk about them? It's not like they don't exist. They didn't even come to the hospital after your suicide" commented Beast Boy.

"Well, they do exist but to me, they don't. Beast Boy, do your parents...hurt you?"

"No. Besides you mean 'did' not 'do'. They're dead Prue" answered Beast Boy in a flat tone.

"Oh...I'm sorry..."

There was a pause before Beast Boy broke the silence.

"Anyway, what do you mean 'hurt me'? What did your parents do to you?"

"They hit me for having useless powers and they yelled at me saying I was an accident. You see, my parents were teenagers who made...a mistake..." May-Lin looked away.

"Go on..." Beast Boy urged.

"When I was five, they had enough. They dumped me in an orphanage. I never saw them again. One of the people who ran the orphanage told me they left the country. They never wanted to see or hear about me again. At the beginning of this year, the education minister said I could leave the orphanage and have an apartment provided I went to Enwalls senior school. That's how I'm where I am now..."

Beast Boy looked over at May-Lin. Tears were running down her face. She turned to face him.

"Beast Boy, am I an accident?"

"No, of course not!"

"It's just that I'm always in people's way!"

"Shhh! It's okay" Beast Boy soothed.

She kept crying and crying. Beast Boy embraced her in a gentle hug. He lightly patted her on her back.

"Thanks, Beast Boy" she whispered.

In the main room, Raven and Sapphire had just finished sharing dark poems.

"Umm...Raven?" asked Sapphire.

"Yeah?"

"Did...did you...enjoy our time at the café?"

"Yeah. I had a great time. You're a great poet. Far better than I am. I wish I could write poetry like you"

"Thanks. Though, be careful of what you wish for, for it might just happen" answered Sapphire.

"Sapphire I have something to admit to you..."

"Yeah?"

"You see... I'm a...half a...a..." Raven started.

"Half a Demon?" asked Sapphire, as calm as usual.

Raven sat there, looking gobsmacked. Firstly, because somehow, he knew what she was gonna say. Secondly, he was calm about it and didn't seem to mind.

"Is that one of your powers? Mind reading?"

"Uh...no..."

"Well how d'ya know then?" Raven asked.

'Oh, why does she have to be persistent?' Sapphire thought.

"...you're gonna hate me for this..."

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Well, actually... you know how I do errands for the teachers during Biology/Ballet? Well, the day before you titans came; I had to print off these documents such as all of your birth certificates and names of your mother and father and all this information about you. I was naturally curious about the information. I tried not to look at any. I really did. Then I tripped while delivering the documents to Mr Hendgely. As I picked them up, I saw one sentence: Raven is a half demon because of her demonic father, Trigon. I'm sorry but then, I couldn't help but read all information on you..." The usually monotone Sapphire looked truly sorry and downright miserable.

"That's alright. At least I didn't have to tell you or see your reaction. Besides, you are the first person I've fully open up to. I haven't even said as much to Starfire in the last year or so I've known her and I've only known you for a few days. I've never said so much or expressed my emotions so much ever in my life."

"Really"

"Yeah. And I've never used so many slang terms in my life either"

The two teens lightly chuckled for a second before becoming their selves again.

"Because you know practically everything about me, I think I deserve to ask you a question"

"Shoot"

"Why do you say that?"

Sapphire shrugs.

"Just continue" he said.

"Sapphire...what powers do you have?"

"They are similar to yours. Except I have one more than you. One that I need to try to control hate and anger as much as possible, because that is what triggers the worst of my powers. That power, is a power that's strength relies on my emotion, just like yours and my other powers. Except, the stronger the emotion, the stronger the power. It is triggered from the strongest bad emotions, hate and anger. Hate and Anger are so powerful that they...they...they can kill a person I'm angry at" Sapphire answered, quietly.

"Is that the power...the power...the power that...killed...your parents?"

"......yes......"

"That's all I wanted to know"

"Well, now you know...I was wondering whether you would like to go catch a movie with me?" Sapphire asked eagerly.

"Sure."

"What type?"

"Horror"

"Any Horror?"

"Yeah. Anything wicked scary. Except for Wicked Scary" Raven replied.
