Recap:
As Raven's thoughts drifted, she felt her eyelids get heavier. It had been a long day, Slade had been up to his tricks again and Raven hadn't slept well the night before. Not that Raven ever really slept well.
'I'll get out in a minute.' she thought. She was asleep 45 seconds later.

Someone was calling for her. "Rae….Raven?..." The voice was distant and unclear, fading in and out of Raven's sleep clouded mind. "Your there?...Can you…me?" Raven heard a 'thump'. After a second she heard it again. 'Thump'. Then another and another.
The thumping was soft at first, but quickly getting louder and picking up speed. Someone had begun to pound on the door. Raven started to wake up, the noise disturbing her sleep and forcing her conscious back into her body bit by bit. The shouts had increased too; the person was now shouting, panic clear in their voice. "Raven! Raven, you in there!" It was a male voice Raven noticed distantly, still not fully awake. "C'mon, talk to me! RAVEN!"
'Where am I?' thought Raven, ignoring the irritating voice. Slowly, the physic lifted her head, wincing at the stiffness in her neck as she tried to remember what had happened. Had she been in a fight and gotten knocked out? It would certainly explain why she felt so sore. And had she hit a fire hydrant? Because something wet and cold was falling on her.
Raven opened her eyes and glanced around, alert for any sudden attack. She sighed in relief when all she saw was a bathroom. Subconsciously, Raven reached out with her mind and turned off the shower, which was now very cold. Then almost comically, her whole body stiffened and her violet eyes widened as the events of the night before came rushing back to her.
The music she had turned on earlier was still playing, helping to block out the banging and shouting that was continuing outside the door. Regaining her senses, Raven sat up quickly, one hand reaching up to push some damp hair that had fallen down out of her eyes.
'Shoot.' Still ignoring the shouting voice, Raven stood up and walked across the room to shut off the music. Annoyed with herself for falling asleep and trying to decide what to do about the person behind the door, Raven didn't bother to pay the slightest attention to the floor, which by now was very wet and very slippery. Suddenly, Raven felt herself lose her balance as she grabbed a nearby towel.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" the scream, amplified by the small, wet space, was torn from her throat as she fell toward the hard floor. Unconsciously, she pulled the towel closer to her hoping it would act like a buffer and squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for impact. And for that one instant of chaos, Raven lost control.
The door was blown outwards taking whoever was behind it along for the ride. The mirror cracked, the showerhead flew across the room, water spurting from the pipe, and the extra towels and cleaning supplies flew everywhere.
Raven landed with a hard thump on the cold tile floor. To add insult to injury, a pink fluffy towel, probably Starfire's, fluttered down and landed on her head, covering half of her face. Raven hated the color pink.
"Owww" she moaned. She could already feel the bruise begin to form on her now tender butt. Her elbows also throbbed fiercely, the cold tile doing little to numb the ache. However, all thoughts of finding some ice forgotten when she heard a voice echo her sentiments.
Raven's eyes traveled to where she had heard the moan, her gaze came to rest upon the now ruined bathroom door and the bit of green body sticking out from under it. Raven clutched the towel tighter, her knuckles white, as she felt her heart skip a beat. 'Oh God.'
"Oh God" she whispered echoing her last thought.
"Beast Boy, are you alright? Beast Boy?" Raven couldn't muster up the will to move despite the adrenaline now coursing through her veins. She was scared. She didn't know how badly she had hurt him. And Raven was scared to find out. The thought of severely hurting him frightened her too much to move.
This was her worst nightmare coming true. She had lost control. She had let her emotions get the best of her and she had hurt someone. Hurt one of the few people she considered a friend. She had hurt one of the two people who ever really tried to get her to smile. Raven had hurt the first person to ever make her laugh.
Luckily for her, Raven was pulled from her thoughts before her imagination really got carried away when the green boy groaned again. "Dude, did anyone get that guy's license plate #?" Transforming into a gorilla, he pushed the door off him and stood up slowly. The battered door clattered loudly next to his feet, making Raven jump in surprise. Reverting back to his normal form, Beast Boy rubbed his head with one hand as he made his way over to the frozen telepath, grimacing at the pain.
The girl just continued to stare at him, relief clearly visible on her face. Seeing \her expression he tried to smile to reassure her he was fine, but failed when he began to sway unsteadily. Deciding he was too tired to fight the forces of gravity, Beast Boy gave in and sat down, facing his still immobile teammate.
Seeing her worried face, Beast Boy smiled his trademark goofy grin in reassurence. Suddenly he noticed the towel still covering half of her head. Letting out a small chuckle, he slowly reached over and lifted the pink monstrosity off of her, then threw it carelessly over his shoulder.
"Pink really isn't your color." Was all he gave as an explanation. Seeing the worried expression still present, Beast Boy sighed. What would it take to convince her he was okay? "Dude, I'm fine. Really! Just... remind me never to interrupt you and the shower ever again." Still getting no response, he started to say something else, but was cut off when a pair of thin, pale arms suddenly shot up to wrap around and pull him into a hug as a small, wet, purple head buried itself between his neck and shoulder.
