A combination of writer's block and wanting to see the final Terra-based episode of TT before I continue has delayed this story some. Sorry!

Chapter 3-

"Raven, where are you going?" Robin missed grabbing her as she tried to worm her way past everyone.

She stopped just before she turned the corner without looking back. "It's not safe for me to stay here. I'm leaving."

"What do you mean you're leaving? You're a Teen Titan."

"I can't risk endangering all of you." She quickly shot out of sight.

Beast Boy ran past everyone and tried to catch one last glimpse of Raven, but she was already gone.

"How could she run off like that? What's she trying to prove?"

"I don't know, Beast Boy. But if it's as dangerous as she thinks, maybe it is best if she's away for a while."

"How can you say that, Robin?" Beast Boy was fuming with anger. "I've gotta find her..."

An alarm sounded in Titans Tower and Robin flipped open his communicator. "It's Slade."

"And we're down two Titans." Beast Boy punched the wall. "Why now?"

"We'll ask why he's being so inconsiderate when we get there. Titans go!"

"I have to calm my nerves. I've got to get past this." Raven sipped another cup of tea down and slouched uncomfortably in her chair. "There's no telling what I could do if I lose control again." The coffee house was relatively quiet as it was just getting ready to close.

Raven decided she couldn't waste time here anymore and she got up to leave. "I really should go back. I was being too rash." With a flip of her cape, she headed to the door.

Suddenly, a blast shattered the windows and the force caused Raven to fall backwards onto the floor. The remaining patrons and employees screamed and scattered like chickens with their heads cut off.

"Ow, my back." Raven was bruised and cut all over from the glass that flew everywhere. She tried to stand up, but could barely stand on her own two feet. The counter next to her provided enough equilibrium for her as she leaned against it, holding her arm which had a fairly deep cut in it. "I need to find a new place to hang out."

Raven tried to focus, as she saw a figure coming towards her. She squinted.

"Hello, Raven. Miss me?" It was Slade.

"Slade, what do you want?"

Slade punched one of the door panels out of his way and stepped inside. "Why, Raven. I just came here to talk."

"Well, I'm in no mood to talk." She began to stagger towards him, holding her hands out. "Azarath..."

Slade quickly grabbed her arms. "And you're in no condition to fight, so let's compromise." He tossed Raven onto the ground and she skidded a few feet on her back. She turned to the side and coughed up blood.

Slade dusted off his hands. "Now, are you ready to listen, Raven? Good."

With all her remaining strength, Raven sat up. "I don't think so." She spit blood onto his leg.

"Now, now, Raven. And here I was going to tell you about those nasty dreams you've been having."

"WHAT? How do you know about that?"

BAM!

A green rhinoceros came out of nowhere and slammed Slade against the wall. Switching back to his regular form, Beast Boy stood over a dazed Slade. "Leave her alone."

Starfire ran over to help Raven who had just fainted while Cyborg and Robin stood over Slade as well.

Robin picked him up by the scruff of his neck. "What's this all about, Slade?"

"I was having a little chat with your teammate. But it looks like I came at a bad time. I'll try to reach her when she's more alone." Slade back-flipped out of Robin's grasp, dropping a bomb as he headed for the exit.

"Titans! Move!" Robin commanded. Starfire picked up an unconscious Raven and flew out while the other three trailed close behind. Another blast occurred, causing everyone to fall to the ground.

Beast Boy staggered to his feet. "What on Earth could Slade want with Raven?"

"Let's figure it out after we get her to the infirmary."

Raven woke up to find herself in the infirmary. "Wh-what happened?" Looking to her side, she saw Terra in the next bed. "Oh, right. Slade. Ow." She tried to sit up and noticed the room was dead quiet.

"How in the hell did Slade know about my nightmares? Something doesn't add up." Raven tried to unhook the intravenous needle that was in her arm, but she couldn't. "Wh-what's going on? I'm not THAT weak! Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

Nothing.

"My powers are on the fritz again? This is getting really annoy..." Raven nearly had a heart attack when she saw Terra sitting up in bed, looking drained of life.

"Holy shit! T-Terra?"

Terra slowly turned her heard toward Raven. "Raven, how lovely to see you!"

Raven felt as if a force was holding her down and she struggled to get up. "No! Not now!"

Terra suddenly appeared next to Raven's bed and she held her arms down. Her face looked like a zombie's and she was speaking as if someone were speaking through her. "Because of you, his plans are ruined!"

"Ruined? His plans? What are you...?"

Terra pulled the needle from Raven's arm.

"OWWWW!!!"

"Perhaps a little torture will teach you a lesson. A needle in the eye should be enough."

"No, don't!"

As Terra was about to stab her, Raven screamed out as loud as she could.

"HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEE!!!"

"Raven! What's wrong?"

Raven felt a hand touch hers and she backed up against her headboard, trying in vain to escape. "FUCK OFF, TERRA!"

"Terra?! It's me, Beast Boy."

Raven felt dizzy but she quickly focused on her surroundings and saw that she was having another dream. Terra was still lying in her bed unconscious and Beast Boy was sitting next to Raven's bed with a look of fear and relief in his eyes.

"Raven, it was just another dream."

Raven was panting and still unsure of what was real. "How do I know this isn't a dream?"

"It isn't. I promise you."

"It always feels so real."

Beast Boy sneaked up onto the bed with her. "I'm so glad you're OK. I don't know what I'd do if Slade had..." But he trailed off and was just about to kiss her when she held him back.

"No, Beast Boy."

"Why not?"

"One, you've already chosen Terra. Two, in my state who knows what my powers will do. Three, don't forget what happened the last time we kissed. Four, now is really not the time to..."

Beast Boy planted his lips on Raven, much to her surprise. With her emotions circling everywhere, she kissed him back and pulled him down onto the bed.

Raven laid on top of Beast Boy, his arms around her waist as she began kissing his neck.

"Ooh, Raven! I didn't know you had it in you." He worked his hands down to her butt and gave her a squeeze.

"Ahhh!!" The jolt sent a few objects flying around the room. "Warn me next time!"

"Where's the fun in that?" He lifted his head up to meet hers in another kiss. They both fell to the bed and this time more objects began to fly around the room. When Raven heard a mirror shatter, she opened her eyes and jumped off the bed.

Beast Boy and Raven both looked at each other and turned bright red.

"Ah, maybe that wasn't the best idea I had." Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and got up on the opposite side.

Raven shook her head. "Well, I didn't stop you."

"Heh heh." There was an awkward silence until Beast Boy spoke up again. "Anyway, I'm glad Slade didn't do any permanent damage."

"Slade..." Raven suddenly got lost in thought and she shouted triumphantly. "Slade! HIS plans!" Raven walked around the bed to where Terra was. "In my dream she said 'Because of you, his plans are ruined.'"

"Raven, that was a dream."

"I don't know if I believe that. Slade somehow knew about my dreams. Maybe I AM inadvertently sensing something with my powers."

"Which is?"

"Terra is in fact a traitor and she's working for Slade."

Beast Boy grew angry. "Terra would never do that! How dare you say something like that!"

"Then how do you explain what's going on?"

"I can't, but Terra is no traitor."

"We'll see."

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes at her and stormed off.

Raven lowered her head and looked over at Terra. "I wish I was as optimistic as Beast Boy."

I've been losing reviewers, so I threw in a little Raven/Beast Boy portion to satiate them. And well, OK, to satiate me too. Again, sorry for the long wait for this chapter! Later, TT fans!
