A/N: Muhaha! I was THRILLED by the number of reviews I recived! Can't thank you guys enough! Oh, and I know you're all wondering about why there are no claw marks on Slade...well, I don't want to give away my plot but, who said b.b was the one who killed him? and as for slade being killed by a couple gunshots...well, just keep reading. All will be explained in later chapters. As for making the chapters longer, God, I have ALWAYS sucked at doing that. So no guarentee there. (Oh, btw, love the number of people who like b.b and rae parings, I proved my friend Emma wrong!)
-
Raven's eyes darted from the body to beast boy. She had no idea what to do, and was trying to keep her usual calm and bland composure.
"Did...Did you do this? " Raven asked, trying as hard as she could to make words form. She was in a mass shock from the scene.
He looked at her, his eyes almost full with tears. She saw him struggle to remeber everything that happend the past couple of days.
"I...I honestly don't know...I mean...he is in my bed..." He leaned himself up against the wall.
She overlooked the body again. There were no visible claw or bite marks on him, just gunshots. Now where would beast boy get a gun? Things just weren't adding up in her head.
"No...You didn't do this...There's two things I know about you. One is that you would never hurt someone like this, not intentionally atleast.." Raven sat down in a tattered chair in the corner.
Beast Boy peered at her, waiting for her to finish her last though.
"What's the other thing you know about me? " He asked, the slightest bit of amusment in his eyes.
"That you can't tell a joke to save your life." She stated simply and walked over to his bedside.
"So, what are we gonna do with it? We can't just leave it here. Do we tell Robin and everyone else? " He questioned.
At the mention of Robin and the others, Raven cringed a bit. They wouldn't be as accepting of this situation as she was. Infact, why was she helping him at all? She began to question a lot of things in her mind, but snapped back into reality.
"No. We certianly do not tell the others. They'll throw you in jail faster than you can tell your story. We'll just throw the body out the window and the police or the team'll find it...they will never know it's been in your room."
She turned around and looked at the expression on his face. He looked so diffrent to Raven. She had never seen him in such a dark situation.
"Azarath Metrion Xinthos..." She chanted and picked up the body with her powers. B.B ran over to the window and opened it. She chucked the body quickly out of the room to hear it fall with a thud on the rocks and ocean below.
"Oh Raven, thank you." He said and quickly embraced her in a hug.
She stood still as a stone. Not really knowing what to say. His tableside lamp exploded and he backed away.
"Oh Sorry..." He muttered, feeling bad for making her emotions go haywire.
She sighed and went to say something but was inturrupted by the siren. The red light flashed in the tower and they heard Robin's familar shout of "Titans Go". The pair ran out of Beast Boy's room, sure to lock the door behind them.
The call was because of Plasmus downtown. The Titans fought as usual and after going out and getting pizza in celebration, they decided to head home. Beast Boy and Raven kept exchanging nervous glances whenever one of the members mentioned going back to the tower. So finally, the Titans headed back. They were shocked at what had washed up against the shore.
"What the hell? " Cyborg shouted and ran over to the coastline. Robin followed closely, hoping he wasn't seeing what he was.
Beast boy squeezed Raven's hand and she felt the blood rise to her cheeks.
"No...It can't be..." Robin said.
Starfire gasped. "It is Slade! " She exclaimed.
Robin drug the body ashore and gasped at it.
"But...Slade was a villian...So, dead is good...yes? " Starfire asked, scratching her head.
Robin looked like he was going to be sick. "Villian or not, no one deserves to be shot and then have their body dumped in the ocean...Looks like we've got to find out who did this.."
Cyborg looked down at the leader. "You gonna call the police? "
Robin scoffed. "Those damn police are useless. I'm gonna call an old friend of mine. He's into all that crime lab stuff."
Beast boy raised an eyebrow. "You've got some weird friends..."
Robin pulled out his communicator and dialed a number. He talked for a minute or two then shut the device off.
"He'll be over in twenty minutes. He said he needs to get over here while the evidence is still fresh..."
Beast Boy squeezed Raven's hand just a little tighter in fear. He felt she was the only one he could trust at the moment.
-Later That Night-
Beast Boy sat in his room, head in his hands. He knew he was going to have to leave the tower. Robin's friend had taken a hair sample from each of them, incase he found anything from one of the team mates. He claimed that in a crime case, everyone is a suspect until proven innocent. Since the body had been in Beast Boy's bed, he knew the evidence would point to him. He began to think maybe he really had done something, but just didn't realize it or he had blacked out again like he did with the whole Adonis mess. But where would he run to? His thought were interrupted by Raven slipping in the room.
"You alright? " She asked, hoping he would say yes so she could just go.
He looked over at her and a tear streamed down his cheek. "I've gotta get out of here...they're gonna find evidence pointing to me, I just know it. I'll be guilty and thrown in jail. Then I'll be killed. The chair, the lethal injection, a swing from the rope if I dare.."
Her eyes widened slightly. He was thinking so darkly of his fate. She took a seat next to him and an insane thought ran through her mind. She had begun speaking it before even considering it.
"Look, If they find anything pointing towards you...I'll go with you. We can run from here. We'll dye our hair and change our names if we have to. Go to another town, city, state or even country. I won't let them throw you in jail." She actually meant what she had said.
Beast boy looked up at her, wide eyed. He was even more surprised when Raven pulled him into a hug, signifying that she cared deeply for him.
"Thanks Raven..." He said quietly, resting his chin on her shoulder.
There was a loud knock on Beast Boy's Door. It was Robin.
"You guys...the results are in..."
Beast Boy and Raven lingered their hug a little longer then went to find out the results.
A/N: Yes! Second chapter! Read and Review and tell me whatcha think! Again, always open for suggestions. I tried to make this chapter as long as I could by combining two of them. The beast boy/Raven relationship will grow into something more once they...well, don't want to ruin the story for you. Oh, and as for puncuation. It keeps deleting my question marks forsome reason, stupid thing. So sorry for anymistakes there.Anywho, RR. 'Till next chapter-Emmery
