Epilogue: Fix You

There was a bright flash of lighting, and Beast Boy sat up sharply, his eyes wide in fear. Sighing, he stared out his bedroom window, which had sheets of torrential rain pouring against it. He glanced at the clock beside his bunk bed. 2:44. He groaned. For the last two hours sleep had eluded him, probably because he had been thinking about Raven so much. When he had taken her to her room a few hours ago, she had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms. As he had laid Raven to bed he looked at her face, so peaceful in her slumber, and felt that strange feeling he had felt when she had walked into the kitchen that one day. It was then that he realized what that feeling was. Now, unable to sleep, the only emotion Beast Boy was feeling was annoyance. "Dude, it's impossible for me to be awake this late!" Getting up off the bed, Beast Boy shrunk to a small mouse and scurried out of his room to the hallway bathroom. Getting there, he resumed his human form, grabbed a cup out of the cabinet, and filled it with tap water. Taking a sip, he headed out of the bathroom, flicking the light off, and walked down the long dark hallway. Rounding a corner, Beast Boy walked past Raven's door and paused. Looking back at it, he thought about the emotion he felt towards his mysterious friend.

'I do love her,' he thought to himself, even though a part of him didn't want to believe it.

'But she never laughs at my jokes,' he thought to himself dismally, 'heh, can't blame her though…no one ever really laughs at my jokes. I'm just another dumb guy, who everyone finds annoying and stupid. Raven's the last person on earth who'd ever even come to like me, much less love me.'

Smiling to himself sadly, the crestfallen changeling started to walk away. Suddenly, there was a faint outcry from within Raven's room that Beast Boy's ears could barely pick up.

"Raven!" He cried in alarm, dropping the glass and running into her room. Looking around in the darkness, he spotted Raven sitting in the middle of the room, a razor blade pressed against her left wrist. A small drop of blood fell to the ground.

"Raven no!" Beast Boy cried, running over to her and placing his hand gently on the one wielding the razor, "Put it down."

Raven looked up at Beast Boy, and under her hood he could see tears streaming down her face. With a sob she released her grip on the razor, letting it fall to the ground.


When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse…

"Rae…," Beast Boy muttered, "why?"

Clutching her wounded wrist, she sobbed, "I…I let him die Beast Boy! It-it's all my fault…it's all my fault…"

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

Looking down at the ground, Beast Boy saw a large black book lying open. He picked it up, and saw a picture of Rorek. Underneath a caption read that the brave warrior had died in battle over seven-hundred years ago, protecting his land and his people.

"Why…why did I leave him?" Raven uttered remorsefully, more tears streaming her face "He was the only one that understood me, and he…he loved me for who I was. I threw it all away Beast Boy…I deserve to die."

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

"Raven no," he pleaded, closing the book and leaning closer to her, "it wasn't your fault, he chose to stay and fight. There was nothing you could have done."

Raven only continued to cry silently, not bothering to brush away any of the tears.

Deciding that it was the best thing to do, Beast Boy gently wrapped his arms around his weeping teammate and hugged her gently.

Lights will guide you home…

And ignite your bones

And I will try…to fix you

The warmth Raven felt from Beast Boy was so comforting to her, that somehow she found the strength to grab his hand and hold it. Beast Boy smiled at her, and she smiled back, tears no longer coursing down her face. Suddenly she gasped in pain; her wrist was bleeding freely. "Oh, lemme get something for that," Beast Boy said tentatively, sitting up. Raven nodded and he walked out of the room, returning a moment later with a bottle of alcohol and a cotton swab. Bending over to Raven the changeling gently picked up her left hand and swabbed the small cut with the alcohol-covered cotton ball. She winced in pain but didn't say anything. When Beast Boy had stopped the bleeding he placed the first aid items on Raven's desk and sat back next to her.

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

"Beast Boy?" Raven whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you care so much about me?" She inquired, looking up at him.

"Because…" He paused, fighting back tears, "Because I love you Raven, and I hate to see you like this, so sad and depressed."

But if you never try then you'll never know

Just what you're worth…

"Beast Boy" Raven murmured after a moment of silence, "I love you too, God do I love you so much. I never admitted before…but it's true."

Beast Boy only nodded his head gently, embracing Raven tighter.

Lights will guide you home…

And ignite your bones

And I will try…to fix you

Gently, Beast Boy picked up Raven and carried her to her bed once more. He lifted back the covers and set her down softly. "Thanks," She murmured, looking up at him and smiling. "Sure," he whispered, smiling at her, "If you don't mind Rae…I wanna stay here with you tonight."

Raven nodded at him and lifted the covers. "You can sleep with me," she said hesitantly, not knowing what the changeling would say. To her relief he accepted and crawled under the covers. Outside, the rain continued to pour down, but to Raven and Beast Boy that didn't matter. Lying on his side, facing Raven, Beast Boy gently grabbed her chin and titled her face towards his. Then he pressed his lips against hers, and kissed her for the first time.

Raven closed her eyes and kissed him back, feeling her emotions surge.

When they finally released each other's lips, Beast Boy saw that Raven was crying again.

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

"Raven…what's a matter?"

"I-I'm sorry," she replied, quickly wiping away the tears of joy, "I'm…just so happy to have someone like you Beast Boy. Promise you won't ever leave me."

Tears stream down your face

And I …

Smiling, they embraced again, becoming closer than they had ever been before.

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I…

"I promise," Beast Boy whispered.

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try…to fix you.

The End
