I apologize for this chapter being short. I know where the story is going to end, but I do not know how to get it there, so I'll do the best I can until I get inspired.

P.S. Thanks for the good reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, but I'm not making money from this, so you can't sue me.

Chapter 10. Being content

"Do you feel the planet's life force?" Valere asked his love.

All day, Raven had been meditating. She would not give up, she was to determined. She wanted to know how to make her soul one with the planet, to take energy and give it. That and she really wanted to know what life was like for Valere. "I do." She told him.

"Good." He said as he leaned towards her. "Now it's time for the hard part. You need to try to pull some of the energy into you."

For a few minutes, he let her try anything she wanted. He needed her to see that there was only one way it could be done. She began to stress herself. "Stop." He ordered.

"Why?" She asked without breaking her concentration.

Valere put his hand on her shoulder. "Good. You are good at this." He said to her as he bent down. "You have to image the life force of the planet flowing through you." He moved to her ear and started whispering in it. "When you have mastered that, I will have to test your concentration." He kissed her neck and a moan escaped her.

Over the course of the day, Valere spent most of his time with Raven. The others, with the exception of Beast Boy, knew exactly what was going on. Raven truly was free.

As night came, Raven got Valere to come to her room. He had declined at first, thinking she was moving the relationship to fast, but she assured him that it was not for that reason.

"Why did you want me here?" He asked her as he entered his room.

She went over to her bookshelf. "I have something I want you to see." She picked up a mirror. "This is a mirror that I use to enter my mind."

He looked at it curiously. "Why did you want to show me this?"

She held it up to him. "I want you to go there with me."

"Why?"

She pulled a strand away from her face. "I want to talk with them."

He let out a light laugh. "I'll wait her for you to return."

She smiled. "Fine, but I want to have a little fun when I get back."

She put the mirror on the ground, looked it in and disappeared. Valere sat on his love's bed and only then did he realize that he had spent so much time teaching Raven his form of meditation, that he had forgotten to meditate himself. In no time he had fallen asleep.

When he woke up, he realized that Raven had returned. She had wrapped herself in his arms and had fallen asleep. She looked so peaceful. He kissed her on her forehead and decided to just lay there with her. He was content to wait until she awakened. This is what he has always wanted.
