Chapter 4:
Cyborg unjammed the elevator by pressing the UP switch and the three waited for the elevator to get up to them. Raven's eyes suddenly went wide and she pressed the close button hurriedly before the doors could open. The others looked at her quizzically.
"OH LOOK CYBORG, BEAST BOY!" Raven yelled. There was a crash inside the elevator and then scrambling noises. "IT SEEMS STARFIRE AND NIGHTWING HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE ELEVATOR! LET US FREE THEM!" Beast Boy and Cyborg collapsed into hysterics as Raven pushed the open button, blushing furiously. There stood Nightwing and Starfire, looking severely disheveled. Nightwing's shirt was untucked and his mask was on upside-down. Starfire was barefoot and her dress was very rumpled. Raven bit her lip to keep from laughing. Starfire narrowed her eyes at them. Beast Boy on the floor, barely able to breathe, Cyborg leaning against the wall, howling with laughter and Raven actually giggling.
"YOU THREE!" Starfire cried. "You did all this!" Raven nodded, desperately trying to regain her composure, and failing miserably. Cyborg was still laughing uncontrollably and didn't answer. Beast Boy nodded as well and looked up at Raven. She's smiling… wow… He had never noticed how beautiful she was when she smiled. Of course that wasn't his fault, as she hardly, if ever did smile.
Starfire stood there for a second then flew forward and seized Raven in a hug. Raven stopped laughing immediately.
"You're hugging me…"
"Oh thank you, thank you!" She let go of Raven and moved on to Beast Boy sweeping him up in a bone-crushing hug. Raven's eyes narrowed as she felt some emotion twinge her heart. She couldn't place it, but it evaporated the moment Star let go of BB and moved on to Cy.
"Uh, Star…" Nightwing started. He was extremely red. Starfire flew to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Raven looked away, suppressing a smile. Cy and BB sniggered. Nightwing flushed a deeper shade of red, trying to peel Star off him.
"Why don't we… uh…" If it were possible Nightwing blushed even more. Raven, suddenly getting the picture, hauled Beast Boy and Cyborg away from the lovers and back to the Common Room.
"Awwww, Raven!" Beast Boy gave her his trademark lopsided grin. "Whatcha do that for? It was fun watching NW turn into a cherry!" Raven tried not to stare at his cute grin and dancing eyes. She put up her hood.
"NW?" She asked, amused.
"Nightwing's too long." He shrugged. Raven raised an eyebrow, even though he couldn't see it.
"NW has twice as many syllables as Nightwing."
"Oh." He shrugged again. "I don't care." (A/N: I will be using NW because I am lazy. Thank you for your cooperation.) Raven suppressed a smile and shook herself. She desperately needed meditation and had just turned to go to her room when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Surprised, she looked back.
"Hey Rae?" He pulled her hood down. "Why do you always wear your hood up? You look better with it down." His eyes went wide and he clapped a hand over his mouth then cowered behind the couch.
"I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! I was just thinking it, and you know how I am, I can't keep my mouth shut and- PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" He put his arms over his head and quaked waiting for his doom. It didn't come and he looked up. Raven was staring at him with a mixed expression of flatteredness (is that a word? I don't know it is know!), hurt, and confusion; not her normal expressionless face.
"I'm not going to hurt you." She struggled to get out. "I need to meditate. NOW." A lamp broke and she swiftly melted into the floor. Beast Boy looked at Cy, who looked equally baffled.
"Dude, what just happened?"
In Raven's room:
Raven shakily got into her lotus potion and closed her eyes.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos… Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos…" Beast Boy popped into her head with his lopsided grin.
"Aw, c'mon Rae! It'll be fun!"
Raven shook herself and tried again.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos… Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos…" And again.
"I'm sorry he broke your heart…" Raven bit her lip in frustration. What was happening? She landed on the floor and went over to her dresser where a certain mirror lay. She traced her finger around the edge. If she wanted to find out why Beast Boy kept popping up in her mind, she needed to go to the source. She inhaled and closed her eyes, putting her fingertips on the smooth glass.
"Azerath…" Did she really want to know? "Metrion…" Maybe it would go away on it's own… "Zinthos…"
Author's Comments: Okay I know it's short, but after the last chapter, I decided I could get away with it. Besides… -evil grin- you'll have to review if you want the next chapter. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
