"Raven?"
He walked towards her and awkwardly sat down next to her. Nervously he patted her on the back.
"I…I-I'm s-so s-sorry."
'Hmm…she sounds funny.' he thought. 'In fact she kinda sounds like…'
He saw a flash of yellow. He reached over and pulled back the hood.
"Terra? What are you doing here?"
"I-I came to apologize. You said you would still be my friend. He…he said he could help me. He promised. I never meant…" Beast Boy cut her off.
"What are you doing in Raven's cape?"
"I-I thought you might be more willing to talk to me. I know how much you like her…I saw the way you looked at her…and-"
"I DO NOT LIKE RAVEN LIKE THAT!" I don't…I don't…I don't? Do I?
"You said we could be friends…you promised…I never wanted this…"
"You lied to the team, you lied to us Terra! You lied to ME, Terra. That's enough of a reason not to like you for…forever! You better leave before I call the rest of the Titans."
"Beast Boy I-I… I just want to say that I didn't want to-" Terra stammered out.
"GO!" he yelled.
She backed up slowly, then used her powers to call a rock to the window.
"I thought we could be friends. But I see now we can't. I thought I wouldn't hurt you. But now I will. Good-bye Beast Boy." She whispered. She jumped out of the window and soared away.
"Beast Boy? Are you in there?" Raven's monotone voice came from the other side of the door. "I heard you yell. Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine. Just saw a rat on my bed." Realizing he had just called Terra a rat, he smiled faintly.
"Beast Boy I'm missing a cloak. Have you seen it?" she inquired, her voice obviously saying she didn't believe him.
He looked slowly towards his bed. Her cape was on his bed, spread out like an eagle stretching.
"N-no. H-haven't seen it…I'll t-tell you if I do. Bye!" his voice urged her to leave.
"I'm coming in." she replied. His door began to open.
"Beast Boy." Ravens voice was dangerous. "What is my cape doing in here? And why were you screaming at a rat?" Suddenly she sighed, and rubbed her temples. When she opened her eyes, they were sympathetic. "It was Terra, wasn't it? Why do you lie to us…to me? You say you can handle it, but I hear you crying at night-" Beast Boy opened his mouth to protest, but she held up a hand. "Don't contradict me. I know you still mourn for her, but that's no reason to kill yourself over it. She betrayed us. You have to get over it and move on." She was showing concern in her purple orbs. "You're scaring m-us."
Beast Boy's eyes were wide. He was surprised she cared. Of all the Titan's, she was the least he expected to come in here and tell him to snap out of it. He exhaled loudly and put his head in his hands. When he looked up, there was anger vibrating in the air around him. Raven thought he was going to be mad at her. Perhaps she had been too harsh.
"I know. I can't forget her. She won't get out of my head, and I try so hard to make it go away. Then she comes here, after leading me on and betraying us to Slade, endangering you and the rest of the Titans, and she expects me to forgive her! I can't believe her! She makes me so mad I could-could…I don't know." Beast Boy's eyes were pleading, begging her to understand.
"I understand. I have dreams of her. She made me trust her. I never trust anyone that soon. I have no idea why I believed her. I mean she must have been working for him for a long time. And that vision I had. I saw her and Slade side-by-side. So maybe it was my fault. I trusted her. I let her in too. If I had trusted my instincts, maybe you wouldn't have gotten hurt. So…I'm sorry." Raven looked as if she wanted to suck those words back into her mouth, but she never blinked at him. She stared calmly at him, hoping he didn't make fun of her. She knew to him, she seemed like she didn't care about anyone. Now here she was saying sorry to someone. And that someone was Beast Boy.
He gaped at her for a second, and smiled.
"You didn't do anything. She fooled us all, but I was the fool. I fell for her when I first saw her. I didn't know her, and I fell for her. If anyone should be sorry it should be me. So, sorry. I-I just can't take it anymore. I…" he stammered before breaking down into sobs. Seeing Terra, having Raven speak to him about it at last, it was too much on his nerves. Raven sat down on the bed next to him. She leaned over and did something he never expected.
She hugged him.
One of his lamps burst into a thousand pieces.
(Ooo, emotion disaster. It was probably an ugly lamp anyway. HAHAHAHA! Thanks to all reviewers, I'm just going to set up a thanks at the end. This chapter was originally much longer, but I felt bad since I already had the first one short.)
