Note: I do not own the teen titans
Thanks for the reviews! Except I'm not sure what to do with this story. Tell me if this chapter should be deleted and redone!
It felt as though twelve-thousand bricks had been dumped on Beast Boy the second Raven confessed. What? Raven...killed... Even in his mind it seemed unreal. It did explain a lot after he thought about it for awhile, but in the meantime... He looked over at her. She was glancing down, almost in shame. Like she regretted killing Sterling.
She has the right to kill her, Robin hissed in his mind, Raven killed her! She has the right to kill her in vengeance! Raven, a Teen Titan, someone who they trusted, was a murderer. They gave her a home, they trusted her with their lives and the lives of those she saved. For what? To be betrayed, like what Terra did to them.
They were in shock, Sterling thought. Of course she knew they would be, but these humans...they seemed sad and angry, much more than she thought they would be. And Raven, her murderer was ashamed. Earth had changed her. It changed her into someone kind, someone who saved others. This was not the Raven she knew.The Raven she knew was a cold heartless bitch that did as she pleased. She looked up to Sterling and Sterling told her everything she needed to know to get what she wanted. For what? To come to a small green planet and save the lives of others? To give her heart to a green shifter? It was disgusting!
"These humans, they don't know you, do they Rae-vie?" Sterling said, half mocking and half confused. "The last thing they thought was that you killed me, correct?"
Raven looked up, four red blazing eyes on her face. Sterling was not taken back at seeing her 'angry side.' "You're angry now, aren't you? Now that they know you're a murderer, that you killed me."
"And I'll do it again!" Raven cried, black circles forming around her hands.
"A fight? You think you can beat me Raven. I'm already dead...do your best!" She released the other Titans from their silver bubbles and shouted, "Azarath Malagonai Cincarni!" Sterling's eyes became pure black as she levitated into the air, silver power flowing from her hands.
"No!"
Sterling's black eyes and Raven's red ones all turned to face Beast Boy, standing on the couch, his hands around his mouth. "I cannot let you hurt Raven!"
"Even if she betrayed you, you and your friends. You called her a titan, a person who holds exceptional importance and reputation
lied to you. Yet you wish to help her now!" Sterling was even angrier now, Beast Boy was really starting to get on her nerves.
"What happened?" Beast Boy asked, his voice calmer and quieter now. "She had to have a reason to kill you. It wasn't just a random act, was it?" He looked over at Raven, whose eyes were normal now, "Tell me, and I will let you have vengeance, if it's worth it. If she has a good reason, you have to leave her be!"
"And what makes you so sure I won't kill you where you stand, then go on to your precious love, ripping her apart piece by piece?" Sterling screeched, transporting herself so she was inches away from his face.
"Because I know you want the truth out, that's why you made her say it, not just you telling us what happened. You want Raven to tell us what happened by herself!"
Robin was a bit taken back. He had never seen Beast Boy so angry, yet so calm and confident. He stood up to Sterling, not a bit of humor in his voice. He wanted the truth. And he wanted Raven to tell them.
"Do we have a deal?"
"I do not make deals with shifters," Sterling disagreed. She crossed her arms and looked away from him.
"Will you make a deal with your student?" Raven questioned coming up from behind her.
"Make me an offer I can't refuse."
"I will tell them what happened, from the beginning. Every detail I have. And you go away."
"That is not vengeance!" Sterling yelled, "That is speaking your mind! I refuse!"
"Wait!" Robin yelled, "How about this deal..." Raven looked over at him, Oh no, she thought, what is he going to do with me?
"Right now, I am very angry with Raven, to say lightly. But when she says this tale of your death and it changes my mind and I am content with it, you leave her be. If I think it's shit, she's off the team, and you do with her as you please."
"Robin..."Starfire's meek voice sounded behind him. She didn't agree with this deal. Raven would most likely die, and Robin would have the only vote in it. But Robin's face stayed serene and didn't move. He wasn't going to let Raven off the hook. "She has two hours, then it's show time." Robin looked over at Sterling.
She smirked, as she looked over her shoulder at him. She was beginning to like this Robin fellow. "I agree," she said, coming over to shake Robin's gloved hand in agreement.
