Author's Notes: Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been recovering from a hamster invasion. Just ask the author Light of the Sorrow. By the way you guys aren't reviewing! I only got 3 reviews on Chapter 4! Why is that? C'mon! If you guys take the time to read my story there is enough time to review it. But, for the people who did review, here are my answers to your reviews:
Porymon – That's a big No-Duh good buddy! Wait just a minute... I didn't even know that BB's parents where dead! When did this come up?
The Almighty J.T. Blade – Thank you so much for reading my story! You're stories are great! I can't wait for that crossover, the one you sent a preview about, to happen!
Wolf of raven – Chris... I have more brethren than you, AND a pack of mutant howler monkeys. You know that!
Thank you for all of your reviews. Now here's chapter 5!
Chapter 5: Confrontation, Explanation, and Meditation
Here is a recap of how chapter 4 ended, because I haven't written in so long
Begin recap
"COME OUT HERE AND STOP TORMENTING ME FROM THE SHADOWS IN WHICH YOU HIDE, COWARD!" yelled Hunter.
I do not hide in the shadows
Hunter put a finger in each ear in order to block out the deep, menacing, disembodied voice.
Of my lineage and you do not even know where I am! Here's a hint, if you can hear me but nobody else can, which means I am not on the outside. If I am not on the outside but you can still hear me that mean I am where? It is pathetic if you cannot figure this out; do not make me ashamed to call you my grandson!
Suddenly, it all became clear for Hunter. 'If I can hear the voice but it is not on the outside of my body, then the only place left where it could be coming from is...'
YOUR MIND! HAHAHA!
'But... but... how!' thought Hunter.
Why don't you just ask your mother? After all she is right outside your door!
End recap
Raven was lucky to be to side of the door for a moment later the door was struck so hard that it shot down the hall and landed about 30 meters away. (His room is at a the meeting section of a T-crossing of halls, think one line vertical one line horizontal. See ending author's notes for details. ) Hunter came out of his room in a disheveled stare. He looked around wildly and caught sight of Raven. He grabbed her by the arms so she couldn't run away and asked with a voice of pleading, "What in the world is happening to me! I keep hearing this deep, ominous voice that just said it is inside my head and that it knows you! I even called me grandson! What is happening to me!" Hunter saw that he was squeezing Raven's arms too tight from the look of pain on her face and let go, sinking to his knee in quiet submission.
Raven's motherly instinct (that all women have) kicked in and she knelt down next to the sad, confused boy and hugged him, probably the first sign of actual emotion that she had shown in years. Her heart felt like it was going to split in two. She let him out of the hug but took his hand and helped him up. "No one is to know about that besides you and me. Got that?" she said, trying to recover here composure. Hunter nodded dumbly; still not quiet over the voice and the event that had just occurred. Raven took him by the hand and began to lead him down the hall after replacing the door to its rightful place in its frame. Hunter, confused upon the issue of their destination, asked, "Where are we –" but he was interrupted by Raven asking, "Do you know where Avataria is?" Raven saw the shake of his head and headed towards the main room explaining the situation as they went.
"WHAT!" said Hunter as he stopped outside the entrance to the main room, "Are you trying to tell me that my grandfather is a demon and if I become too emotional, he takes over my body and my powers and, in turn, brings about Armageddon! But if he is a full demon, then your half demon, which means I am a quarter demon!" Raven nodded and said, "Something must have happened before you were born to make you deaf to the voice of Trigon." Hunter, in a state of distress, asked, "Is there any way to prevent him from possessing me?" "That's why we need to find Avataria" said Raven curtly. She proceeded to pull Hunter into the Main Room.
Avataria was innocently watching TV when a large black portal opened up in front of her. This was followed up by a "Sorry" from behind her and two large black arms picking her up and throwing her into the portal. In a few seconds she found herself in a room that was quite dim. She then realized that Raven and Hunter were next to her in the room. She turned to Hunter with anger stamped on her face and asked, "What in the name of the Tibetan monks is going on here?" Instead, Raven answered the question by saying, "This is my room and we need to talk."
A few hours later; after Raven had explained the predicament and answered all of Avataria's and Hunter's questions, Avataria agreed to help Hunter out any way she could. When she said this, Raven noticed that her eyes kept darting to Hunter and she blushed slightly whenever her eyes came to a rest on Raven's future son. Avataria turned her attention towards Raven and asked, " Raven, what can I do to help?"
"I control my emotions through meditation. I remembered that you meditate. Normally, I would teach Hunter myself, but I thought that he would learn better from someone from his own time." Raven passed a sly wink to Avataria, who blushed furiously, but was able to hide her reddening face from Hunter.
Later on the Tower roof
The silhouettes of two figures, sitting cross-legged on the roof, were being watched by Raven who was making sure they were all right. BB came up behind her and peeked over her shoulder with mild interest for what she was looking at. Upon seeing the two figures, Beastboy leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't they remind you of another couple of teens, Rae?" Raven turned to the changeling and gave him one of her rare smiles and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Seeing that smile, accompanied with the kiss, made BB feel as though he was floating on air. It was too late when he saw the look of mischief, realized that he really was floating because of Raven's telekinetic powers. The same powers that, in the next moment, threw him off the roof of the Tower!
The meditation of Hunter and Avataria was not interrupted by the screaming figure as it plummeted towards the ground or the smiling Raven as she entered the elevator.
