Chapter five.

"Raven? Raven? RAVEN?!"

"..W-what-t..." said Raven groggily opening her eyes. The world was blurred and she could see a blur of green near her face. She recoiled slightly out of instinct, then tried to focus.

"Oh my God! You're okay!"

"Yeah. Just about. My head hurts. A lot." Said Raven in snippets, as she fumbled to sit up.

'He stayed. He stayed with me even though I told him to go. He was worried.'

"Dude, don't scare me like that again." Said Beastboy holding his chest. He stood up and rubbed his head. He saw the Azarathian struggling to stand, so he instinctively grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

Raven's feet didn't feel quite right. They were numb and she couldn't put her weight on them properly. As she felt herself being pulled up, she tumbled forwards into Beastboy's arms.

He blushed, and looked at her. "Umm..."

Raven frowned. "Don't get too overexcited. I can't feel my feet properly. And I still can barely see you."

Miss Independent

Miss Self-sufficient

Miss Keep your distance

Beastboy's expression softened. "Well, seeing as you're just standing here..."

Raven looked up at him, not sure what to say. "What?"

Beastboy looked at the ceiling and sighed. "Okay, so I apologised for earlier. Then you go all freaky on me, scream for me to get out of here, knock your door down then collapse on the floor. Raven, what the heck is going on?"

Raven looked down and closed her eyes. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Beastboy grinned at her. "Try me."

Miss On her own

Miss Almost grown

Miss Never let a man help her off her throne

There was a thick silence, and Raven felt a little awkward, leaning against him for support.

"Okay. But I really need to sit down." She countered, blushing slightly. Beastboy smiled.

"Alright. Um, Raven?"

"Yes?"

"Am I allowed to go in your room?"

- - - - - -

After a couple of transformations and a whirlwind journey to Raven's room, they were finally seated on her bed. Raven rubbed her sore head and pushed her hood down.

"Beastboy, I know I said I'd tell you but..."

So, by keeping her heart protected

She'd never ever feel rejected

Little Miss Apprehensive

Said oOo; she fell in love

"Aw, c'mon dude! I spent a lifetime getting you in here!" protested Beastboy, turning into the kitten and giving her 'the face'.

Raven gave a small smile and put her arms up. "Alright alright. Enough with the kitten faces."

Beastboy quickly reformed himself. "So."

"This is going to freak you a bit...but..." began Raven slowly. BB looked at her expectantly.

"Basically, after I saw you and Cyborg I came up here and something happened to me. Something really weird."

BB's eyes were opened wide. He looked intrigued. Raven took this as a compliment. She continued.

"It was really strange. I woke up in the future, and everyone was quite a bit older."

"Was I still as good looking?" said Beastboy, giggling. A pillow in a black aura hit him.

"Oww. Ok, ok. Carry on."

"So, I got up and went downstairs. Oh – I should mention I was a ghost."

"A ghost?"

"Yeah."

"Dude. Were you dead?"

Raven smacked her forehead. "No, I wasn't dead Beastboy! It was a vision, only...I wasn't visible to the others. And I saw myself too. In an older form."

"Woah. Weird." Said Beastboy, shaking his head. "So what happened then?"

Raven looked at his curious face. 'Cute.' She thought. The lamp behind her shattered. She flinched, and Beastboy frowned.

"Sorry. Anyway, this is where I got confused. I went downstairs, and you were there. With someone else."

"Who?"

What is the feelin takin over?

Thinkin' no one could open the door

"......" Raven stammered. She quickly regained her composure. "Terra."

Beastboy fell off the bed. "No way! She's gonna be back?"

"I...don't know." Answered Raven quietly. This wasn't going to be easy.

"Awesome. So what were we saying?"

"Um." Raven looked Beastboy in the eyes. "I'm not going to lie to you. You were dating her. And...when I saw you...you guys were kissing."

Beastboy looked straight back at Raven, but he shook his head. "No way. That wouldn't happen. It's like, totally old territory."

Surprise

"What? I thought you really liked her." Said Raven, her heart starting to pick up pace again.

Beastboy smiled and shrugged. "I do. She was a really close friend, and I do miss her. But I don't know whether we'd ever date again. It'd be too complicated after what happened."

Raven nearly fell off the bed this time. The maturity showing through was shocking her. "You can't be serious."

Its time

To feel

What's real

Beastboy smiled cheekily. "Heh, I know it's hard to believe that I'm serious once in a while but I am."

Raven closed her eyes. "Before I tell you the rest, I need to tell you the ending."

"What? That doesn't make any sense!" exclaimed Beastboy, rubbing his head.

"It does make sense. The thing is..." Raven suddenly felt a jerk in her chest. She was opening up to him, and it felt so right. She could really communicate with him freely and it felt good.

"What's the thing? Tell me the thing!" shrieked BB, in mock horror. A look from Raven later, he had quietened down.

"The thing is, it was my mother. She transported me to the future. She was trying to tell me something...something about Trigon."

"No way. Dude, Raven, please tell me he isn't coming back?" asked BB, concern written all over his green face. Raven gave a grimace.

"Could be. She said something about negative thoughts. It's true Beastboy. I can't concentrate on my meditation at the moment and I feel all anxious inside."

'Oh my god. I told him what I felt. How will he react?'

Beastboy laid a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay. I--We'll...look after you."

Raven gave a half smile. "I need to tell you the rest."

"I'm listening." Said the changeling making no attempt to move his hand. Raven wanted it there – it gave her confidence, and strength. Something she could use right about then.

"I had another vision, right after I saw you and..." she couldn't bring herself to say it. "...her. This time you were dating someone. But it wasn't...Terra."

She rubbed her head slowly, touching her gem, and savouring the look on his face. He stared at her.

"I...well...it was..." stammered Raven slowly. Beastboy began to lift his hand off her shoulder. Raven reached out and grabbed it.

What happened to Miss Independent?

No more the need for me to miss him

"It was you." Said Beastboy, looking at their intertwined hands in awe. Raven nodded slowly. She was also staring at the hands, not quite sure what she was doing. She pulled her hand away sharply.

"I'm sorry Beastboy. I didn't mean to make it uncomfortable or anything, it was just a vision." Said Raven quietly looking at the floor.

"If it was just a vision, they why do you look so sad?" asked Beastboy, his eyes burning a hole in her skin, where he stared. She felt the electricity radiating of his body, and shivered slightly.

"Because it felt so real."

BB rubbed the back of his neck slowly. "Do you want it to be real?"

Raven looked up at him, her eyes shining. "Beastboy, I..."

The window shattered into a million pieces, causing Raven to leap in shock in her fragile state. She began to shake violently.

"Hey, hey." Beastboy picked up a blanket from her bed and wrapped it round her small shoulders, letting his hand linger round them longer than necessary.

"I-I'm sorry..." Rae managed to stammer out. "I didn't mean to frighten you. My powers...are a little out of control."

"Raven, don't be sorry. I still like you. I like you a lot." Said Beastboy, turning red, but keeping his eyes on her pale face.

"....What...?" said Raven, looking into his emerald eyes, and feeling powerless all of a sudden. Beastboy shut his eyes, breaking the spell.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm such a jerk. I always mess it up."

"No. You haven't." Raven put her hand on his shaking green one, and smiled. "You've done everything right. I'm sorry I'm so mean to you."

"Heh, it's no biggy." Said BB grinning and ruffling his hair.

"Yes it is." Said Raven, the blanket dropping around her waist as she leant up towards him. Her lips brushed his cheek, and he looked around in surprise.

She knew this might be her only chance. Leaning in, she kissed him full on the mouth, feeling the warm sensation wash over her. Nothing broke. Nothing squealed. Everything was peaceful, and beautiful when she was with him.

Goodbye, old you

Real love, is true.

She leant back opening her eyes. Beastboy opened his a second later, shock written all over his face.

"I thought...but...huh...am I...you..." Beastboy paused for breath. "What's going on?!"

"I...I like you." Raven paused, running her hand through her violet hair, smoothly. "I think...I love you, Beastboy."

His emerald eyes were wide with shock. "You-you do?"

She stared at him coldly, but with a fondness in her eyes. "I just said so didn't I?"

"Um, yeah." Said the shape shifter, a strange faraway look on his face. He reached out and touched her cheek slowly.

"Thank you. For telling me, and well for everything. I love you too."

Raven smiled, feeling the heaviness in her head lift immediately.

Right, that's the end of part one!! I hope you liked the bb/r mushiness – and I hope it wasn't too over the top! Personally I prefer the subtle romances but :shrug:

Anyway, part two will be a little different. Same storyline but the song won't be running through it as I feel that it has run it's course in the story for now. I'll put the next part up within this story as it saves having to create 2 stories etc.

Quick replies:

Raven A. Star: I will keep updating I promise. And thanks for the constant reviews they give me inspiration to keep writing! ï
