Chapter eleven

BB wasn't sure what to do. He thought about taking the Azarathian to a hospital but he knew that Raven hated them. So then he considered the medical wing – but he knew where Raven would want to be.

Her room.

He gulped. 'Should I go straight in?'

He mentally shook himself. 'Damn it BB its an emergency. She won't mind just this once.'

As he landed in the Tower, he made his way to her room. She rested limply in his arms. Beastboy bit his lip nervously as he clambered into her room, edging carefully around the furniture so she didn't hit her head on anything.

As he placed her down in onto the soft bed, he brushed her hair out of her face with his shaking hand. Even in this state she looked beautiful. He pulled a blanket over her legs and sat by her side, massaging her hand – hoping to get some life into the girl.

Raven stayed in her comatose state, her face expressionless, but a slight wrinkle on her forehead. Beastboy watched her for a while. After some time, his throat became dry. He squeezed her hand gently.

"Rae, I gotta go get some water – I'll be right back in a minute." He said quietly, dashing from the room. He came back as quickly as he could, spilling water all over himself and the floor.

"Aw, man." He said, entering her room. He put the water on her bedside table shaking the water off his hand and wiping down his suit. He bent down to pick up the water, and saw something which made his eyes widen.

"Haven't seen this in a while." He said, picking up her meditation mirror gently. He held it at arms length awkwardly. He remembered all to well what happened last time he looked in the mirror. Never again.

He looked at Raven. Then at the mirror. Then at Raven. Then something went click in his brain.

Flashback

"Too....much...."

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

"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."

Flashback ends

He wiped his forehead.

"So," he said outloud to himself. "So, if Raven got all upset and sad about the whole Terra thing..."

He paused and took a deep breath, sighing gently. This didn't seem real. None of it. Terra was his best friend a while ago, and as far as he knew Raven didn't like him all that much. Now she was in love with him (and he with her) and Terra was dead.

"The negative thoughts. Trigon."

Beastboy looked at the mirror. He knew what he had to do. The other titans though?

"Ah, they'll see that I'm not as dumb as they think." He concluded, looking into the mirror, ready to accept his fate.

As he was absorbed inside, he felt the mirror drop out of his grasp. There it lay on the bed next to Raven, though she was unaware of anything.

The dark room was silent once again.

"Beastboy?" shouted Starfire loudly. "Beastboy we seek your companionship!"

"B, don't ignore us, man. Where are you?" Cyborg protested loudly. His voice echoed around the tower, with no reply but silence. Robin looked around slowly.

"Guys, I don't think he's here."

"Where would he be Robin? Raven was in no fit state to be travelling around the city, was she now? They must be upstairs." Starfire smiled warmly. "Let me go and take a look, do not worry friends. It will all be resolved soon."

"I hope so Star." Said Robin, quietly running his hand through his messy black hair. "I really hope so."

"I'll second that." Cyborg added. "I'm gonna go upstairs for a second – gotta have a quick recharge after the battle. See you in the TV room, Robin?"

"Sure. Star, you go check upstairs then. Shout if you need me." Robin said slightly sulkily walking off to the main room. Starfire smiled at Cyborg and with a jovial little wave flew off upstairs.

'If I was Raven, where would I be?' thought Star, biting her lip as she dashed up the stairs quickly. She mentally slapped herself.

'I'd be in my room! Raven is always in her room!'

The door was closed. Starfire tucked her auburn hair behind her ear awkwardly. "Raven?" she muttered inaudibly. She rapped on the door, flinching slightly. She waited for an angry response.

Nothing.

"Hello?" queried Star, pushing open the metal door softly. The room was dark as always – but she could make out a figure on the bed. She walked silently up to the bed and leant over.

"Raven!" she squeaked, touching her friends hand. It was cold, and the Azarathian appeared to still be unconscious.

"Everythin' alright, Star?" Cyborg asked, pushing the door wide, allowing a blaze of light to shine into the room. Starfire jumped slightly. She motioned to the bed. Cyborg joined her, and they both looked down at the unconscious goth girl silently.

"Ow!" said Star, suddenly. Cyborg looked up.

"What?"

"I have a blinding white light in my eyes!" Star said, fumbling backwards into the shadows. Cyborg stepped into Starfire's previous space, and narrowed his eyes. Something was reflecting in his human eye, making him squint.

"Mirror?" he questioned picking it up slowly. The familiar glint and shape met his eyes and he shuddered with recognition.

"Oh no..." he said slowly. "Starfire – quick – go and fetch Robin, NOW."

"What? Why? Has something happened?"

"It could do, if we are too late."

Ah, the story unravels! We will update soon!

And sorry bout the cliffie...please don't hurt us..:backs away:

Replies:

Poopy penguin: Yeah but to be honest, they reacted how you would do. I mean they wouldn't go...'Oh yeah terra was evil, way to go Raven!' really, would they? Maybe it's just me but hey, I take your point. Thanks for the review!

Raven A. Star: XD so true! Where would we be without the pain and the agony and the torture, eh? Well, I hope this cliffie helped with all these things!! Mwahah! Thanks for the review!

MirandaOtto: We aim to please – and it looks like you are happy! Yay! And sorry bout taking ages to update but I've been sort of busy. Thanks for reviewing!

Lyzz2nwn: Heh, I would'a congratulated her too but I don't think the titans quite accept who Terra was yet. Thanks for your nice review – We will keep on updating...as long as you keep enjoying the story!

Nethrion: :backs away: Sorry! :watches as the titans run for their lives: Hehe, anyway, I sort of redeemed them in this chapter. You got to understand that they still thought Terra was their 'heroic friend encased in stone. So they took it sort of badly, but they didn't mean to upset Raven as much as they did...not really. Again, sorry but please read and review!

10902: I can't remember the chapter either but I think it was chapter five or six. Anyway, its not important now! What I find important is that you are enjoying the story! Thanks!

Kay Jay8: Thank you so much!

Intheforestsofthenight: Well thank you! And they really are a perfect couple.

That's all for now,

Ja-ne
