And yes, BB and Rae are my favorite characters to answer your question. We hurt the ones we love.
Chapter 4: 'The Date'
Beast Boy carefully got off of the bed. His bones were healed, but he was still a little sore. Raven helped him out and they walked out of the room hand in hand. As they reached the hallway, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She blushed and quickly noticed Cyborg going upstairs to his room. She wasn't sure what he would do, so she tried to keep her face emotionless; but all he did was give a soft smile instead of a joke.
"Thank you 'Big Brother' " she said mentally.
"Hmm? What?"
"Um.. Cyborg.. he's like a big brother to me.." Raven was still very surprised that Beast Boy could hear her thoughts.
"Did I-uh…"
"Yeah."
"Sorry"
"Don't be.." She assured him as she gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Pulling away, she said "We need to get ready." She gave a small smile and went up the stairs to the bedroom level.(Extra info. That's the top of the 'T') When they reached his door, they gave each other a hug.
"I'll be quick." He said with his fanged smile.
"Me too. We'll have to hurry and get out."
"Why?"
"Well, after today; Robin wouldn't let us."
"True." "Damn, she's sexy and always right!"
Raven gave a small giggle at his thought. "Remember that." She left to her room and Beast Boy headed to the hallway bathroom, afterwards he would go to his room
Raven took a quick shower and picked out the perfect dress. It was dark blue and corset-like on top with the bottom a flowing medium blue. She wore a net top underneath and sat down on her bed and peered into her mirror. (not the 'Nevermore' mirror btw) Tonight would be one of the few instances she wore more than just black eyeliner. She applied dark blue and black eye shadow and gazed at herself in the mirror. "He'll love it"
In a few moments, a knock came to her door. She was so surprised a few books fell of the shelf.
"w-Who is it?" she asked
"Your little green elf" Beast Boy answered.
Happily, and not having her powers affect anything, she went to the door. The sight of him amazed her. He was wearing a mesh shirt with a black shirt over it reading "Normal people scare me." Over this, an open, short sleeve, purple button shirt. He was also wearing baggy, black slacks and black eyeliner with points extending from the corners of his eyes.
"Nice, huh?"
"y-Yeah. Very." She tried her best to hold her composure.
He gave a small chuckle before asking "Ready to go?" and offering a hand.
She took it and said "Of course."
They headed to the roof. Beast Boy was about to transform into a bird when Raven wrapped an arm around him.
"No, let's fly together." Using her powers, she levitated them both and they headed to a dark café in the city.
Going inside with their arms around each other, they were greeted by a waitress.
"Hey Rae. Nice to see you again. Who's this?"
Raven gazed into his eyes and answered "My boyfriend Gar"
"Nice to see you found someone. I suppose you'll actually be eating tonight?"
"Yeah."
At their table, they mostly conversed telepathically. Even while they were eating their vegetarian meal. On the stage Goth and his band played lightly. The night seemed perfect, but they were being watched by the one eye of her father's servant.
"Enjoy it now. I'll make you suffer later. You can't protect him from me Raven. I will make him suffer the most." Slade turned and went back down the alley way he came from. He was determined to carry out Trigon's command and make her suffer from his pain. If he was killed, it didn't matter. It would only break her down more and make her open to his dark influence.
Raven had finished her plate and looked up to see her emerald love gazing at her lovingly. "What?"
"You're just so beautiful"
She blushed slightly. "Thank you"
"I only speak the truth Rae.."
"Come here"
They both leaned forward with eyes closed. Their lips met and made the night all the more special. Goth almost messed up playing his guitar as he saw the two. He had a crush on Raven ever since he saw her, but knew it would never be and felt glad for the couple. (that's a lot different than whut I have happenin in 'Church of Blood.' Check out my Waking Dreams series, please)
As they left the café, they both had smiles that nothing; it seemed, could remove. They walked with their arms around one another in the moonlit street. This was the happiest they have ever been, but; sadly, all good things come to an end.
"Hello there Raven, Garfield. Nice night isn't it?"
"What do you want!" Beast Boy was enraged, he put himself in front of Raven instinctively and clinched his fists tightly, his teeth shown in anger.
"I want you two to suffer.." He leaped in the air and was about to give him a devastating kick. Beast Boy transformed into a green grizzly and swatted him into the street.
Slade looked down and examined the gashes in his chest. He smiled under his mask as they instantly healed. "Nice try but.. I'm just getting warmed up" his body was encased in a fiery aura and floated above Beast Boy, who had reverted back to his human form.
"Rae, go!"
"But.."
"Your powers don't work against him. But I can hurt him."
"I'm staying by you!" She pulled him close to her and throw every heavy object at their foe.
Each projectile hit him with little effect. He either was completely un-phased or melted what tried to hit him. He disappeared in a fire and reappeared behind them.
"Sorry Raven, but I must break this up.." He shoved the two apart and surrounded her in a flaming sphere. "..and him" Slade sent a stream of flames at Beast Boy, burning off his shirts and turning his pants into shorts as it hit.
Beast Boy's screams were met by Raven's. "Stop it!" all around her things exploded and reacted to her emotions.
"No" he said coldly.
Slade stopped using his demonic powers and used brute force. Beast Boy was too weak to fight back or transform as Slade kicked him in the abdomen. Raven closed her eyes tightly as his screams were heard. Until Slade stopped and kicked him to the side. He released the force field around Raven and allowed her to go to him.
"With any luck, he has brain damage and more injuries than Evul Kunivul." Slade joke menacingly. He took off in darkness, leaving the two alone once more.
"Garfield.. I am so sorry.."
(Please review. And, it's not going to get much happier than this.. sorry… it's a tragic romance fic)
