Chapter 9: Destroyed Homes and Bordom
They all sat down on the blue couch. Raven, however, stood against the window. She stared out at the water. Rain was falling from the sky. Robin was the first to talk.
"Well, you can start out with how you where you were born."
Raven sighed.
"Come on, Rae," said Cyborg.
"I didn't know I was going to have to tell you guys everything," she said.
"It will be easier to understand if we know everything," Starfire said.
"I know."
"Then, tell us," said Robin.
"Don't push her," ordered Beastboy.
"I know you like her, but do you have to so protective?" Cyborg asked.
Both Raven and Beastboy gave him a death glare. Robin laughed.
"You got it from both sides!" he said.
"Do you want to hear my story or not?" asked Raven.
"Yes, friend. Please tell us about your past," Starfire said.
Raven turned her gaze back out the window. She closed her eyes and sighed.
"I was born on my home planet of Azarath. I didn't know my mother. I was taken away from her right after I was born. Do I really have to go into my childhood?"
"No, you don't," Beastboy said. "Even though I'd like to know later."
Raven nodded. She opened her eyes.
"Well, when I was about twelve, everything started to happen. I had been running from all of my trainers. I was growing tired of them telling me what to do. I shouldn't have. I still wasn't in control of my powers. I didn't really know how to control my emotions. So, I let a boy get in the way."
Raven shifted to look at them.
"His name was Yami Moriyaku (A.N. Remember that name...I will use it again...). He was fourteen. I don't remember what happened, but he was lying on the ground. I nearly killed him. I freaked out. He told me to stay where I was. I should have ran off, but I didn't. He brought one of my trainers to me. I was taken back home. Yet, I just ran away again. I stayed for about three monts. That time, I learned how to control my powers better. I didn't want to have them after me again. So, I traveled from planet to planet. I didn't know what I was doing. Nor did I care. But everytime I stayed at a planet, something would happen. I would go to sleep in one place, but wake up in another. There would be death and destruction around me. I didn't understand it. I just ran. I got to a planet near to Azarath. I remember falling asleep then waking up at my old home. One of my teachers had me tied down. I heard her say to the others that I destroyed a planet. I got so mad. Then, I don't remember much, but a scream and blood. I woke up with blood everywhere. I guess that I had killed all my trainers. I grabbed some of my things. I ran, but this time, I made sure that it was somewhere safe. I went to a planet before this one. I met an old empath. He tought me how to control my emotions fully. I just left one day. I thought that I could control my powers well enough to have a life. So, I came to Earth. Then, something happened. I can remember a laugh and something hurting me. I woke up with blood. I had killed someone. I freaked out. I thought that I had to leave again, but I remembered what the elders on Azarath had done. They would meditate to control their powers. So, I tried it. Turns out, that meditating helps. Then, I came here. And, that's it."
They all looked deep in thought. Beastboy stood up and walked over to her.
"I'm glad that you didn't leave."
Raven smiled.
"Yeah, but with this blacking out. Do you remember the last one?" asked Robin.
Raven nodded. She felt Beastboy place his hand in hers.
"You said that you remember pain and a laugh. Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Can you remember the person?"
"No, but I would tell you if I did."
"So, you can't remember anything at all?"
"Robin, leave her alone. It took enough for her to tell us. Let the girl rest. We still have other things to talk about, besides something Slade keeps blackmailing Rae with," Cyborg said.
"I need to meditate anyway," Raven said walking off.
"So, Slade must know what she did. That has to be why he's doing this to her," said Robin.
"Yes, but she also said that she didn't remember," Starfire added.
"Maybe the thought of what she did is enough for her to do what he wants," Cyborg said.
"She isn't doing what he wants! She's being controlled by him!" Beastboy yelled.
Robin looked at him. Beastboy walked away. He walked towards Raven's room. He could hear her meditating. Slowly, he brought his hand to the door and knocked.
"Rae?"
The door opened. Raven looked at him with a half smile.
"I've only got fourteen hours left," she said.
"Please, don't remind me. I don't want to know about that. Let me just spend some time with you."
Raven nodded and let him into her room. Beastboy sat on her bed. Raven walked over to the window. She looked at him.
"Can I finish meditating?"
"Fine with me."
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah, go ahead."
Raven smiled. She sat on the floor. She began to chant, her body rising of the ground. Beastboy was amazed by her. He stared in wonder. Twenty minutes later, Raven sighed. She stood on her feet. Beastboy was half asleep on her bed. Raven smiled.
"Are you really that bored?" she asked.
Beastboy snapped back into reality. He looked at her with a large grin. Raven looked at him questionally as he stood.
"What are you doing?" she asked as he moved towards her, sliding his feet accross the floor.
Beastboy rose up his hand and tapped her on the shoulder. Raven jumped back. Beastboy fell on the floor in laughter.
"Why did you do that for?" she demanded.
"I just wanted to shock you," he replied wiping the tears from his eyes.
"You just wanted to shock me!?"
Beastboy began to laugh hard. Raven grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. He stopped laughing.
"You are really immature," she said releasing him.
Raven walked over to her door.
"Where are you going?"
"Out."
Beastboy ran over to her.
"I'll come with you."
Raven smiled. Beastboy took her hand in his. Raven blushed when Cyborg saw them. The half man began to make gagging noises. Raven turned around and sent him flying. Cyborg sat up, grabbing his head. Beastboy was laughing so hard that he was on the ground. Cyborg stood.
"Alright, that's it!"
"Run!" yelled Beastboy.
Raven and Beastboy ran out of the tower laughing. Cyborg went to the door.
"And don't come back!"
"We have to sometime!" Beastboy yelled back.
"Nice come back," said Raven.
Beastboy looked at her. She glanced at him sideways.
"Where are we going anyway?"
"I was going to walk around town," Raven replied.
"Why?"
"I might destroy it in thirteen hours. It doesn't hurt to look at it one last time."
"Oh."
"Come on, I want to get something to eat," she said levitating.
Beastboy transformed into a hawk and followed Raven into town.
