The Broken Hearted
Chapter 2
Raven sat in her room later that night, in complete shock. Tears stung at her eyes, for some reason she didn't know. The news she received from her emotions was too much for her to handle, and she became lost in thought, sitting at the foot of her bed.
"Me…in love? How could that be?..." she asked herself, trying to find a reason for all this confusion. "I mean…I'm aware I'm growing up, but…" she sighed. She wasn't even able to complete her sentences.
She was once the darkest girl anyone had ever known. If a stranger laid eyes on her, they would tremble in fear, wondering how such a creature could exist in this world. Raven had always felt distanced by the rest of mankind. She was always alone, that is, until she was tricked. Malchior had stolen her heart, and torn it to pieces in front of her. She had fallen for a trick, a weak minded trick. She vowed she would never fall in love again after that, but apparently it wouldn't last.
She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them, looking straight ahead. Her lips parted and she let out a deep sigh. She raised a brow, and asked the question she longed to know the answer to: "Who am I in love with?"
A small green cat strode on the ground outside of Titan's Tower. Its huge eyes stared up at the moon, and its tail stood up straight. Its whiskers twitched as a cold wind blew through its fur. The cat's ears pressed back against its head, and it lowered its gaze to stare down at its paws. Slowly, the kitten let out a small meow.
Lately, Beast Boy had been turning into animals more often than usual. He would do this so that the others wouldn't bother talking to him. He needed some alone time, to think. Thinking was never one of his best talents, so he would sit outside for hours, just staring out at the ocean, trying to answer questions he'd never be able to answer.
Beast Boy's fuzzy ears perked up as the small cat heard footsteps coming his way. He didn't bother turning around, he could already smell who it was.
"Friend, why do you sit alone?" Starfire asked as she bent down to the kitten's level.
Beast Boy didn't want to answer, for it was yet another question he didn't want to face. The boy didn't bother transforming back, he just sat, staring out at the blue ocean.
Star's hand ran down his spine, petting his soft green fur. She scratched him behind his ears, yet the cat was still unhappy. "Please, Beast Boy…speak to me."
At this, the cat took the shape of the green titan. "I'm sorry, Star…"
"You do not have to be sorry, friend."
"I've been ignoring all of you, I've been rude…"
"We only wish that you will communicate with us so that we may help you." The Tamaranean explained gently. "We worry for you."
Beast Boy slowly closed his eyes. "I avoided you guys because I don't know what to say…I don't know why I'm like this…I just…am…"
"No, friend. There is always an answer to these questions, we will find it, do not worry."
"I just feel…alone, like something is missing, in my heart." The changeling put his gloved hand over his heart and turned to Starfire.
Starfire looked like she was about to cry. "Friend, I have never felt such a way!" She suddenly jumped forward and hugged Beast Boy tightly.
"What's going on out here?"
The two turned around to find Robin, Cyborg, and Raven standing in back of them. Robin looked like he was about to burst with anger.
"Nothing," Beast Boy stood up. "What's going on, dude?"
"There's a robbery downtown, let's move!" Robin commanded, rushing off to the T-Car.
Cyborg laughed and turned to his green pal. "He's pissy cause you and Star hugged!"
Beast Boy sweatdropped.
A herd of robbers rushed around on the streets in front of the city bank, guns at the ready. The T-Car skidded to a stop, and the Titans rushed outside.
"Titans, GO!"
Raven took off into the sky, high above the scene. "Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" She tore a mailbox out of the ground and hurled it at one of the robbers, taking him down in an instant. It seemed like the others had everyone else handled, so Raven went into a sort of daze, floating in the sky.
Beast Boy went cheetah and clenched one of the villain's arms in his teeth. The robber's hand broke in an instant and his gun fell to the floor. A bullet then whirled past his head, and he spun around to find a heavy robber holding two guns. Beast Boy's eyes widened as he shifted back into human form. "EEPS!" he cried, rushing down the street, bullets showering after him.
Starfire flew down the street, passing Beast Boy, chasing another one of the robbers who was attempting to escape. She hurled starbolts at him, but this guy was fast. He managed to get into a nearby alley way, and escape his attacker. "Robin, one has escaped!"
Robin landed a roundhouse kick on one of the robbers, finishing him off, just as Cyborg blasted the last one.
"Star, Cyborg, and I'll go after him. Beast Boy and Raven, you take the rest of these guys to jail!" Robin commanded, running after Star with Cyborg close behind.
Beast Boy looked up at Raven. "Rae, you alright?"
The telepath snapped out of her trance and floated to the ground beside him. "Yes. But apparently you're not."
"Wha?" Beast Boy looked down and noticed that his arm was dripping blood. "AH! Geez, I musta gotten hit…"
"Let me see."
Beast Boy looked confused as Raven reached out and took his arm into her hands. A weird feeling began bubbling in his stomach, making it twist and turn. Heat rose to his face, and he began blushing. 'What's wrong with me?! Why am I blushing?!'
Raven closed her eyes and concentrated. Her hands began to glow white, and the new energy transferred to Beast Boy's wound. She opened her eyes at one point and stared into Beast Boy's face. He quickly noticed her, and looked away.
Little did the two know that one of the robbers began to stir. His eyes opened, and he stopped the two. His teeth grinded together and his heart filled with anger. He wanted revenge. They had ruined his plans and injured his friends! He wouldn't let them get away with something such as this. His eyes focused on a nearby gun, and a plan set into action. He dragged his broken body over to the weapon and took it into his hands. He then aimed a shaky hand at his target, sweat pouring down his face. He pulled the trigger.
Beast Boy's eyes widened, he heard the gun go off before Raven did. His quick reflexes went into motion, and he pushed Raven out of the bullet's path.
Raven landed on the sidewalk with a thud. She grit her teeth, wondering why she had been pushed. Luckily, she hadn't been hurt, so she sat up, looking around. The first thing she saw made her heart break. "BEAST BOY!!!!"
