Arella had never traveled to Azarath when she was pregent with Raven. Instead she decieded to stay in Jump city and try to hide the maddness that she knew her child would bestow upon the world from her child. Raven grew up with her powers always being an outcast from everyone. She still had her powers and that's why she had to keep her emotions in check to keep control of her powers. But she knews nothing of Trigon, Azarath, or being a half demon. Well except for what she knew as legends from ancient books that her mother had given to her. She had heard of the Teen Titans and had once seen them fight a battle, but had never thought of joining them because she knew that they would be like everyone else and think she was creepy. When she was younger she had always sercertly thought that Beast Boy was cute.
Raven's 20 and 5'11" and in college. She's still and outcast. Beast Boy's 18 and 6'1"still a member of the Titans. Starfire is 19 and 5'11"also a member of the Titans. Robin is 20 and 6'0", and Cyborg is 22 and still 6'0". The Team isn't called The Teen Titans anymore It's just The Titans.
Chapter 8
Midnight Love
It was noon at the tower. Robin was still out cold. Cyborg was trying to tell Starfire and Beast Boy how to rewire his curcits so that he could move again. Raven was in her room, meditating. Even though she was meditating, she and her inner self were having a huge fight about Raven's feelings for Beast Boy. After she became tired of doing nothing, but fight with her inner self, she walked out to the of her room. Starfire attached to blue wires together and sparks litterally flew like crazy. Beast Boy and Starfire jumped behind the couch. Once the sparks ended, Beast Boy and Starfire slowly came out from behind the couch. "It's okay guys I think it's stoped." Cyborg smile hoping no more sparks would fly. Beast Boy and Starfire walked up to Cyborg. "Ok. Now, connect the blue wire with the other blue wire."
"Dude! There's four blue wires." Beast Boy held up four wires.
"Connect the ones on opisite sides." Cyborg was trying to make it simple for them.
"There's three on one side." Beast Boy said.
"The top one." He made sure that his voice was confident.Beast Boy carefully attached the two wires. Just before the wires touched Beast Boy closed his eye, and tensed up. Beast boy and Starfire let out a sigh of relief when no sparks flew. Raven entered the room silently. "Hey Raven. I can move my arms!"
"That's great." Raven really didn't care at all.
"BB, Star, I can take it from here." Cyborg began to repair himself. Starfire walked over to Robin. Beast Boy walked over to Raven.
"Raven. Why didn't you help us?" He didn't want to talk to her about that. He wanted to talk to her about something else, but with them being the only ones talking anymore.
"I needed to meditate." Raven sensed that he wanted to talk about something else.
"Oh" The room fell silent.
Robin awoke an hour later. That night Raven had the worst vision ever.
She had begun to get a little used to seeing the city in ruines. Raven always tried to avoid seeing the statues of the Titans. This time the city was fine it looked like a normal day. All of a sudden she heard screams from behind her. Turning around she saw her father turning people into stone. The rest of the Titans came up to Trigon. Before robin could say his usual cheesy lines. Trigon turned them into to stone. "NO!" Raven ran up to Beast Boy, and began to sob.
"Your care is pointless, and you know that." Raven looked up to Trigon looking down at her. "You know that you brought this here, and that you knew about this. Yet, you still resisted." Raven was tossing and turning more than she had ever done before. As soon as her vision had started Beast Boy had been awake. He was becoming worried, her nightmares were never this bad. As it became worse he slowly got out of bed. Then he heard a crash that was only loud enough for him to hear. Instantly he ran out of his room and into hers without even knocking.
"Raven, are you ok?" Beast Boy noticed that Raven was on the floor, but she was still asleep. He ran over to her and picked her up and put her back onto her bad. She looked like she was in pain. "Raven? Come on wake up Raven. It's only a dream. It's not real. No matter what it is you can talk to me about it just wake up. Please Raven. I hate seeing you like this. You look like your in pain. I can't even stand the thought of you being in pain." Beast Boy lightly shook her. He looked at her face. It was covered in sweat. "Please wake up. I'm begging you . . . I love you." A tear came to his eye. Raven jolted up gasping for air. "Raven!" Without thinking Beast Boy hugged her.
"Umm . . ." Beast Boy pulled away.
"Why are you in my room?" Raven ignored his hug.
" I was worried. Your nightmares got a lot worse than usual." Beast Boy put his hand on Raven's, and expected her to pull her hand away.
"You hear me every night?" Raven didn't move her hand.
"Yeah." Beast Boy was a little surprised when she didn't move. "What do you dream about?"
Raven turned away. "Nothing."
"Come on. I know it's not nothing. Just talk to me." Beast Boy turned her head back towards him. She was crying. Beast Boy pulled her into a comforting hug. Raven cried into his shoulder.
"They're not dreams ... They're visions."
"Of what?" Beast Boy rubbed her back.
"Of what's going to happen to the city . . . to you." Raven tears started to go faster.
"It's ok Raven."
"No it's not." Raven pulled away from Beast Boy, "It's my fault."
"What is?" Beast Boy looked her in the eye showing her that he really did care.
"Ultimate. He attacked because of me. You almost died because of me." Raven looked down.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that your safe, and I'll never let anyone hurt you." He lifted up her head then kissed her. Raven kissed him back. He put one arm around her waist and put his other hand into her hair. She wrapped both of her arms around his neck. Their kissing became more passionate. They slowly layed down onto Raven's bed. Beast Boy was on top of her.
Raven slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the clock then Beast Boy. It was almost six. Knowing that he would wake up soon to watch the sun rise, she cuddled up to Beast Boy. He woke up and looked down at Raven, and she looked up at him. For a few seconds all they did was stare into each others eyes, blushing.
