Chapter 5-

"Oh! It's you. You startled me."

Raven took a good long look at Terra and spoke in an authoritative manner. "Enough of this bullshit, Terra. I know you're faking."

Terra got up off the bed and got up into Raven's face. "I already told you I don't know anything."

This just angered Raven more and she grabbed Terra's throat. "Then why did you call me Raven?"

Struggling for air, Terra barely got a word out. "What, when?"

"I'm in no mood Terra. Just now when you left the kitchen. Don't remember? Or is your amnesia that bad?"

"Let go of me! You're choking me!" Terra tried to break out of Raven's grasp, but she was already in a weakened state. "Somebody help me!"

Raven suddenly began emanating a black glow. "Admit it! You're in league with Slade!"

"Who? I don't know what you're talking about."

Raven slapped Terra's face hard. "I don't know how but you found your way into my consciousness. It's time for some payback. Azarath Metrion..."

"Raven, stop!"

Raven turned to find Beast Boy in the infirmary's doorway. "Beast Boy. How convenient. I have proof of our little traitor, if you'd oblige." She used her powers to hold Terra in the air next to him. "Go on, Terra."

Terra struggled to break free. "Let me go! What do you want from me, you witch?" A tear ran down her cheek.

Beast Boy shot an angry glance at Raven. "What do you think you're doing, Raven?"

"She supposedly has amnesia, but she called me Raven. Isn't that right, Terra?"

"No! I don't know what she's talking about!"

"LIAR! YOU FUCKING LIAR!" Raven threw her against the wall.

"That's enough Raven! She's barely gotten out of a coma and here you are about to put her back in one."

Beast Boy walked over to Terra and picked her up. "Are you OK, Terra?"

"Get me away from her! She's going to kill me!" Terra wrapped her arms around Beast Boy's neck.

"Raven, does she look like she's about to kill us? I knew you hated Terra, but this is going too far."

"Fine." Raven hovered over to the two of them, looking right at Terra. "You can't hide behind your boyfriend forever." She exited the infirmary in a huff.

Terra stared up at Beast Boy in shock. "Boyfriend?"

"Uh, well..." All Beast Boy could do was grin stupidly and blush. He put her down onto the bed very carefully. "I need to let the others know what's going on."

"No, please don't leave me alone. What if she comes back?"

Beast Boy thought for a moment. "OK, I'll stay here for a few minutes." He sat down on the bed next to her. "But I really need to..."

Just then, Beast Boy felt Terra wrap her arms around him as she snuggled up close.

"Terra, I thought you didn't...I mean, why are you..."

Beast Boy tried to stay calm as she ran her hands through his hair and felt her breath in his ear.

"Just stay for a little bit."

"Did you have a pleasant sleep, Raven?"

"Not really, Starfire. But don't worry. It's not from the dreams."

"Is everything alright?"

Raven rummaged through her drawers, trying to find her cowl. "No. I need to speak with Robin. WHERE IS MY COWL?" The dresser's drawers flew open and clothes flew out everywhere.

"EEP! Raven, you are scaring me. What was so unpleasant that happened last night?"

Looking through the pile of clothes, Raven spied her cowl and put it on. "Terra's lying about her amnesia. Last night, I found her sneaking around and then she called me by name."

Starfire gasped. "No, say it is not so!"

Raven headed out the door, intent on making a case for Robin.

"You sure, Raven? This has nothing to do with any kind of revenge?"

"I was there, Robin. It was pathetic. She hid behind Beast Boy and he of course took her side, denying everything."

"We better go have a talk with her. Let's hit the infirmary."

Raven and Robin both headed down to the infirmary. When they got to the door, they found the door was locked.

Robin looked puzzled. "That's odd. Why is the door locked?"

"I'll find out." Raven focused her energy on the lock. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." The lock turned over and the door swung open. "What the...?"

Raven's eyes focused on the haphazard arrangement of clothes strewn about until she saw Terra and Beast Boy both lying together in bed, sleeping. Putting two and two together, she grew angry. She flew over next to the bed and leaned in.

Robin held her back and whispered so as not to disturb them. "No, Raven. Let's not make this situation any worse than it needs to be."

"I won't kill her, I'll just hurt her."

Robin pushed her up against the wall. "Raven, enough. We'll question them when they get up."

Raven slid down the wall and fell into a crumple. "I can't take this anymore. My emotions are going to get the best of me."

Just then, Beast Boy stirred awake. Upon seeing Robin and Raven in the room, he yelped. "AAHHHH!!" He pulled up the covers as far as he could while still looking out at the other two. "Robin, Raven. What are you... Why are you... I can explain."

Raven just sat on the ground with her head down, barely taking in what was going on. Robin surreptitiously blocked Beast Boy's view of Raven and spoke to him sternly. "You better have a good explanation of taking advantage of Terra while she's still not herself."

"No, it's not like that! I mean, she was..." Beast Boy looked down at Terra gently sleeping next to him. "She...I..." He shook his head. "I don't have an explanation."

"I'm very disappointed in you, Beast Boy. When Terra gets up, we're having a meeting. Come on, Raven. Let's go."

Raven just sat where she was and didn't move.

"Raven, come on." As Robin walked over to her, he faintly heard a whisper. "What was that?"

"Go."

"I'm not leaving you here alone with them."

"GO!!!" She lifted her head up and her eyes burned red. "I will talk to Beast Boy alone."

Robin backed off and headed out the door. "Just leave Terra alone for now, got it?"

Beast Boy shivered under the covers. "Raven, you have every right to be mad. All I can say is..."

Raven stood up so fast, it was a blur in front of Beast Boy's eyes. "Just shut up. I don't want to hear any excuses."

He hid underneath the covers. "Shutting up."

"Beast Boy, look at me."

"I can't."

"I said look at me."

Beast Boy 's head popped up and he noticed Raven was right next to the bed. "I'm looking."

Raven stared right at him. "Do you believe in your heart that Terra is not a traitor?"

A lump formed in Beast Boy's throat. "Yes, she's not a traitor."

"Very well. That's all I want to know." She twirled around and left the room without looking back, closing the door behind her.

Wow, some severe writer's block delayed this one a bit. I'll try my hardest to make sure I don't take so long again. Later, TT fans!
