Note: I do not own the Teen Titans!
Beast Boy was flaming. Robin and Raven had been in the back room for about ten minutes. And it was driving him crazy not knowing what was going on. Sterling was also driving him up the wall. She was talking about how they'd need a new Titan and how Sterling was planning on killing Raven. It was enough to drive anyone crazy.
"SHUT UP!!!" He yelled, putting his hands over his ears, "Just shut up!!"
Starfire and Sterling both looked over at him in surprise. "You tell me what to do, shifter?" Sterling yelled the question rather than actually asking it. "You think you have the right? You don't! I tell you what to do!"
"Put a cork in it!" He yelled back.
Then Sterling hit him across the face. "Beast Boy!" Starfire cried, flying over to his aid.
"You will die as your girlfriend will!" Sterling yelled, crossing her arms. She was levitating upon the couch, back turned to them. How dare he oppose her. She would kill him, and enjoy it.
"You're wrong!" He cried, standing up. Sterling turned around. "Robin won't kick Raven off the team! You deserve to be dead!"
Sterling's eyes became black. "You deserve to be dead! Raven is mine! And now I have claim over you too!"
"I don't know who things work back on Azarath, but here, people do not have claim over each other! Raven is still on the team!"
Just then, Raven came levitating out from the back room, and hovered through the wall into her room without saying a word. Then came Robin. "What happened?" Starfire asked quietly, looking into her eyes.
"She's leaving in the morning. At first sun." Then he too turned and went into his room.
Sterling smirked at Beast Boy, whose mouth had dropped open. "Boy, were you wrong." She said in a mocking tone.
Beast Boy looked at her, but said nothing. She turned and went up to Raven's room and knocked.
Raven looked up from her bags at the sound of a knock at her door. Most likely Beast Boy. "What?" She asked calmly.
"It's me, can we talk?"
"No."
"Raven..."
"NO!!" She yelled. After a while she heard he retreat back to his room. Raven was sad about lying to him, but...now she had to pack her things and take it over to Robin's. She took the first load and floated through the rooms until she got to Robin's.
He looked up and pointed to his closet in silence. She nodded and place her things in it. "Thank you, Robin. For not kicking me off the team and helping me kill Sterling." she said, coming in front of him.
He nodded and looked away. Raven could tell he was still hurt. She felt bad. But she couldn't undo what was already done. She couldn't un-kill Sterling. That was years ago and she was different on Azarath. Things were different on Azarath. She had killed Sterling and now she wanted revenge.
She floated back to her room, then to Robin's. She took many trips until her room was all but empty. She still had many spell books and her bed. She picked up the largest book. Sterling's hexes were powerful. And she didn't even know what she was looking for. How could she undo Sterling's hex. It wasn't even done correctly.
Of course if she wanted to beat Sterling. She either had to undo the spell or just beat on her for hours until she was too weak to become translucent. But Raven would weaken before that would happen. And her friends most likely would as well.
The first book was useless. So Raven moved onto the next. She sighed. How long would this take? She looked up at her Roman Numeral clock. Almost eight o'clock exactly. Yip-pee, she thought sarcastically. Only nine more hours to go! But she looked on, flipping through her mountain of spell books, hoping with all her heart she could find something.
