My Response:

Yea... I know... smart of Raven to tell Clay her powers are gone... but... Raven already pretty much figured out Clay's weak point... well he's not a very good "criminal" is he? As for her powers being gone... it goes much deeper than fear... It is sort of fear... but what is she fearing? Not Clay... of course not... anybody who's dumb would never be scared of Clay he's a wimp, and Trigon... it's him in a way... but it's also... the four letter word... ... Can you guess what it is?

As for Chapter 4... here it is!

Chapter Four – Friendly Encounter

Authors Note: I know I usually start with Beast Boy... but Raven's going to go first... you'll understand why later. This is a Raven based chapter... Me like it... really turns things around.

:::::::::::::::

"Your powers are gone huh? Well... that's great... you wont kill me off or whatever."

Raven shot a look at him that could possibly kill. Startled he looked away.

"Guy..." she started.

'Clay! I'm a guy with a name." He corrected.

"Okay... CLAY... Take me to Trigon's ruins... immediately."

"Yea... That was my plan originally..."

"Just SHUT UP!" she said through clenched teeth. .... Raven could have possibly pounded him into the ground but she chose not to.... She actually needed this Clay guy. She needed to get to her father's ruins and destroy anything that was left.

"Fine..." he mumbled nervously. "Do you uh- want to uh- ride in the front seat or something?"

"Um... that would be nice. Getting a thousand bruises in the back part of the van does seem tempting though." She said sarcastically glancing at Clay to see if he had caught the mild humor.

He nodded with no apprehension, perplexed.

'So what is it? The front or the back?" he asked idiotically. A red blush appeared on the crown of both of their cheeks. Clay had not thought out the hidden meaning of the message, it certainly brought forth an awkward moment.

Raven peered down.

"The front seat would be nice." She murmured. Clay nodded and very un- criminal like opened the door for Raven. "I can open my own doors you know." She said viciously as he scurried away towards his door.

Raven gazed around at the messy interior as Clay hastily started the car.

"Ya know," Raven started, "you remind me an awful lot of Beast Boy."

"That's not a good thing is it?" he said pasting a frown on his face. She lifted her hood to veil her face; a smile crept up on her lips.

"Well, it's not always a bad thing." She said clasping a hand over her mouth. She couldn't control herself. She never flirted... with anybody. Through the corner of her eye though she saw that a really wide smile covered Clay's not so horribly unattractive face. It wasn't horribly unattractive.

They drove in silence for about a minute; Clay reached over to the radio and turned a dial. It wasn't Rock, Hip-Hop, or R&B... it was POP!

"OH GOD!" Raven screeched, putting her hands over her ears to try and block out the noise; it didn't help.

You can tell me tonight That maybe the world would end That the sun wouldn't rise Or it was going to rain again Just as long as she's in my arms It's gonna be a Perfect day!

The song ended to her delight only to move on to a slower less beat song. GREAT! She thought inwardly...

'Kill me." She said aloud but Clay chose to ignore it completely.

If one day you discover him Broken down he's lost everything No cars no fancy clothes to make who he's not The woman at his side is all that he has got Why do you ask him move heaven and earth? To prove his love has worth

Would he walk through water? Would he run through fire? Would stand before you when it's down to the wire Would he give his life up to be all he can? Is that, is that, is that how you-

Raven had had enough of this music and shut it off; it was too mushy for her. Clay looked at her and rolled his eyes. He pushed the dial back on, a song much to his delight was on. He glanced at Raven unintentionally. Raven noticed but shrugged it away.

I don't mind spending every day Out in the corner of the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved

::: Push: the music was off again. Clay had turned it off this time, the van also halted. He turned to a confused Raven.

"What are you doing?" she eyed him curiously.

"I'm taking you back." He said unexpectedly. "I... I was stupid to do this at all... you know I'm not the criminal type... I suck at this [Raven nodded at this]... it was my father. He was the one who dragged me into this... but I'm not going to listen to him anymore. I'll take you back-"

"No... now you have to take me to Trigon's ruins... I have to destroy anything that's left of it. Better yet, tell me where it is... I'll go by myself."

"You can't it's too dangerous, and you don't even have your powers."

"I have no other choice. The power of Trigon is immense... it can destroy other worlds than these as well."

"Then... I'll have to go with you."

"What are you going to do?" she said rudely.

"I don't know? But... I won't let you go alone... you can't. I sort of dragged you in this whole ordeal... now I'm going to have to drag you out."

"Well... you did drag me in... fine." She said after much consideration. "But you must listen to everything I say."

He nodded. "Let's hit the road... it's going to take a long time to get there." He smiled. Raven returned it. She was beginning to warm up to this Clay guy. Maybe, just maybe he would come in use for something. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Honest to god... I really really really really really really like Clay Reed... hes dumb and not a really good kidnapper... as shown...its just.. i dont know... i love him.. but his future doesnt seem to be that bright from where i stand.... just keep that in mind as a hint..

Thank you guys for all the reviews! Keep them flowing in... bit of a turn of events huh? Well I got a job tomorrow (baby sitting the devil of my niece) so I'm going to go to bed! Sorry for all the mushiness, but believe me... this is probably going to be the only mushy stuff for a while now... its down hill from here.. LMAO REVIEW!!!!! PLEASE!
