& Now, here's-

GREEN AND BLACK TEARS!!

The battle was fierce. The opponent, unyielding. For hours already they had been locked in combat, neither side backing down, but each becoming visibly weaker with each passing second. And then, just as quickly as the thing had started… it was over. One blow, one courageous leap from their heroic boy wonder was all it took; and the monster went down. Stunned, no one said a word until…

"Wooowwww…. Good job Robin!!" Beast Boy rang through the receding silence, pumping his fist in the air enthusiastically.

"Thanks Beast Boy, but I really couldn't have done it without the rest of you weakening him first."

"Of course you couldn't."

"What's that supposed to mean, Cyborg?" Robin implied, already becoming visibly aggravated.

"Nothin', I'm just saying that there's NO way you could have taken that thing down all by yourself, that's all."

"And you could?" He replied haughtily, eyebrow twitching in annoyance.

"Better than you anyway"

'Oh yeah?" (By now his eyebrow was having convulsions.)

"Yeah!!'

And so began yet another of Robin and Cyborg's long, and often pointless arguments. And although Beast Boy and their Tameranean princess, Starfire, seemed to see it fit that they try and quell their raging companions, to the remaining member of the group the animosity fell on deaf ears. Raven stared across the destruction they had caused and inwardly frowned, something was wrong. But what? The sky, in it's rush to awaken in purple dawn, mocked her in her inability to realize what was amiss, and she glared at it accusingly. Let's see… mailboxes, ruined. Apartment buildings… crashed. Monster… wait, where was the monster? That's what she had forgotten! Great, now where was it?

Using her psychic powers, she searched the immediate area for any signs of mal-content. There! Oh no…. not there!

Spinning around, she watched as the being they had believed to be out of submission loomed behind the unsuspecting changeling. She looked on in horror as it twisted its battered body, poised to strike. It would mean the green one's demise in a matter of seconds if she did not act quickly.

Her mind was racing, and since she obviously wasn't going to be using any superior human intellect any time soon, she acted on instinct. And instinct was telling her to jump.

In only took a second. One blinding, searing second, for both her and the monster to strike. As they collided, ringlets of electricity ran through her veins like fire. In the distance she could hear the broken shouts of the others as they swarmed around her lithe body and begged her to open her eyes.

Didn't they see she was tired? Besides, why would they care anyway? It was then that she felt someone lifting her head off the floor. Who? She suddenly found herself very eager to acquiesce to their wishes for her consciousness. And so, with weary eyes and stiff resolution she opened her eyes to find the face of a certain green-skinned changeling. He was smiling down at her, and she didn't know why.

"Don't worry Raven, just go back to sleep. It's ok now, I've got you."

Why was he being so nice to her? Why were any of them even helping her? She didn't belong with them, she was meant to be alone… wasn't she? They shouldn't care… but yet here they were. And Beast Boy… she looked again as he sat above her, still gingerly holding her injured head in his lap. …Fine, they win.

Besides, the pain was becoming unbearable, and sleep sounded so good…

It was in this way, thinking of the boy she had almost died trying to protect, and the others who she still didn't fully trust who had all rushed to help her, that she faded into a deep, peaceful sleep
