Chapter 4:Downhill Run
The next day approached as the sun licked the sky with a slight morning breeze. The sun had just risen and had created a beautiful canvas of orange and pink across the sky. The birds danced to the rhythm of the wind.
"Alright Titans it's a beautiful day for a nice ski so everyone up!"Cyborg yelled through electronic devices he installed in every room.
Robin and Starfire
"Come on Star, time to get up"
"Robin I am tired I had...the nightmare last night"
"It's okay Star it was just a bad dream...what was it about, an old friend told me if you talk about it then it doesn't haunt you as much"
"It was you"
His lowed in concern.
"I was trapped against a spiked wall"
"I barley made it out...but you did thanks to a mysterious figure"
"Who was it?"
"I do not know all I could see was his eyes were the perfect shade of blue and he kept calling my name"
"Star...we need to find out who that is...I just think that if you find him everything will be okay"
"Thank you Robin, but I believe I know who this mystery man is"
"Really who?"
"I just need to confirm my belief by talking to Raven...she understands dreams"
"Yes she does"
With that Starfire picked up a key from the table and headed over to Raven's room.
Beast Boy and Raven
"Wakey Wakey"Beast Boy cooed in Raven's ear.
"Beast Boy...must you do that?"
"Yep another part of my schedule"
KNOCK KNOCK
"I'll get it"
Raven jumped out of bed.
"Who is it?"
"It is I Starfire your friend"
The door swung open.
"Hello friend Raven, where is friend Beast Boy?"
"In the room"
"Hey Star"
"I did not know that Teddy Bears could be worn as shorts"
"There not"
Beast Boy blushed.
"They're his boxers Star"
"Boxers?"
"In other words guy underwear"
"Oh...so there is another name for underwear that relates to guys"
"Yes"
"So is the name thong another name for underwear that relates to girls"
Raven blushed.
"Yes Star...now what did you want to say?"
"Oh...I need your help"
"Good Star...I'd hoped you come for that because..."She paused. "I need your help"
"Glorious!"
Raven grabbed her by her wrist and swung a DO NOT DISTURB sign around the doorknob.
"Alright were safe here"
"You first Star"
"Okay...I have been having this dream lately, I am in a room that is half black, half red. Then once I take one step the walls become full of spikes and start coming closer and closer until the longest one has poked my shoulder. Then he comes a mysterious man around my age with eyes that are the perfect shade of blue. He uses his fist and the walls disappear and then...I wake up before he tells me his name"
"I get it"Raven said
"You do"
Her eyes became huge.
"Yes, the black and red represent death and love. The spikes on the wall mean hurt and the man with the eyes that are the perfect shade of blue is your true love so it means that, the one you love's parents are dead and he is hurt from it but you have loved him enough that he now loves you"
"But who is it?"
"Can you think of no one"
Starfire though but the only one that she loved was Robin, but he had a mask...that concealed the true color of his eyes.
"Raven you are Robin's best friend correct?"
"Yes"
"Then you must know what color his eyes are"
"Yes"
"Well"
"The perfect shade of blue"
"Then...Robin is the one I love, the one in the dream that saves me...it all fits together now"
Starfire seemed to be the happiest thing in the world.
"So Raven...what is it that you wish to talk about?"
"Well it's a problem with me and Beast Boy"
"Something is wrong?"
"Not really but he wants me to do something that has a consequences that I don't think I'm ready for"
"Beast Boy wishes to partake in the 'making of love'"
"Yes...how did you know?"
"Raven do not think of the consequences that could happen but of the action itself...besides it may not happen"
"Yeah but"
"Raven you must participate in the 'making of love' with Beast Boy.
"I just don't know if I can try again.
"Again"
"Well we came really close yesterday until Robin interrupted...I'm actually glad he did"
"So thats why he looked like a zombie Zalwarker yesterday after he returned your key"
"Yes"
"Is this all?"
"Yes Star"
"Then I must be going..we are going skiing today and Robin has promised to teach me"
She happily pranced out of the room into the hall and out the door.
Raven walked out absorbing all that Starfire said.
"What was that all about?"
"We were having a girl talk...Starfire needed a explanation for her dream"
"Oh well come on and get dressed Raven...were going skiing"
"So I've heard..listen Beast Boy I have something I need to think out okay I'll meet you there"
"Alright I'll be on Rabbit's Run"
"Alright I'll be there as soon as I can"
Beast Boy walked out of the room and down with the others.
"Hey Beast Boy..where's Raven?"Robin asked
"She said she'll meet us there...she said she had something to think out"
"It's probably one of those dumb girl things"
"Actually it is not, she is thinking about something that could change her life"
"Sorry Starfire I didn't mean to upset you"Robin said.
She was staring into his mask although she could not see anything. She wished that one day she would have enough courage to take off that mask and kiss his lips, but for now she would keep the secret to herself.
"That is okay fellow titan Robin"
"Alright lets hit the slopes!"Cyborg exclaimed.
Starfire ran up to a hill and hit it hard with her fist.
"Robin the slope...it hurts"
He picked up her hand and kissed it gently.
"Feel any better?"
"Yes...thank you"She said blushing.
Raven
She lay there on her bed confused, what should she do?
She decided to go out of the room. She picked up a key and put it into her pocket and walked out the door. She wandered around the halls until she was on ground level. She looked around, everything looked alright except for a teenager about 2 years older then her sneaking around in black. She decided to investigate.
She followed the strange boy to a place where nobody went...ever the help stand. There was no one in it and nobody would ever use it.
She walked into the help stand. It was fairly large.
"Okay I don't know what your doing but if you come out of here right now I might just go easy on you"
The boy watched her from within the shadows, waiting for the opportunity he needed. She wandered around a bit more until she was facing him.
It all happened in a flash she was throw to the ground. The boy was lying on top of her and her hands were thrown behind her until one of them snapped. She could feel the pain running up her spine. She had never felt a greater pain. But this was only the beginning. The boy kneed her in the stomach causing the wind to be knocked out of her. He obviously knew what he was doing. He un zipped her shirt and threw it to the side then reached behind her back and un clipped her bra. He threw it aside and took a hold of her breasts and began to squeeze them hard. So hard he punctured the skin and blood flowed from 5 placed on each breast.
She could no longer fight back. She had never felt so weak.
Once he started to un zipper her pants zipper she knew why he was doing this, the answer was clear.
She was going to be raped.
But then the door creaked and out of her blurred vision she could see her love Beast Boy.
"Dude get off of her"
He picked the boy up and threw him across the room.
"Raven are you okay?"
He ran over to shirt and zippered it up. But when he held her right arm she squealed in pain.
"He broke your arm"
He picked up her bra and put it in his jacket.
"I'm so glad I didn't listen to Robin and came here other wise that monster could have taken you"
"Beast...Boy?"
"Yeah I'm here"
"Come on lets go"
He ran out of the help stand and right to the medical wing.
"Doctor! please help!"
"Yes what is it?"
"My girlfriend was almost raped and she had a broken arm and the monster who tried broke her skin with his nails"
"Oh dear come quickly I'm going to need you to answer some questions"
"Alright...where is he?"
"I had to knock him unconscious but he's in the old help stand"
"One moment"
He picked up a phone.
"Yes security I need you to pick a teenage boy from the old help stand he tried to rape a young girl...no he didn't...okay thanks"
He turned to Beast Boy.
"There picking him up right now and there going to see about his history"
"Thanks"
"Okay well next question...where did he break her skin?"
Beast Boy un zippered her shirt. The punctures on her breasts still had blood flowing from them.
"Oh dear"
He ran to his medical cabinet and grabbed a paper towel, some water and iodine.
"You're her boyfriend you don't mind this...do you?"
"No..why?"
"I'll need you to hold them"
"You not serious are you?"
"I am"
"Alright"
"Raven if you can here me it's Beast Boy I have to do what I'm about to do for you own health reasons but you can slap me later"
He took both hands and placed it under her left breast.
"Alright this will only take a minute"
As much as he hated to admit it he liked this...it was warm his glance moved from her chest to her face which was wincing in pain.
"It's okay"
"Switch please"
He removed his hands from the left one to the right.
Please be okay Raven
"Alright all done..do you have her bra?"
"Yeah"
"Put it on while I examine her arm and anything else that might be broken"
He took it out from his left jacket pocket and clipped it around.
"Okay well it seems that it's only a minor fracture"
"Anything else broken?"
"Nope"
Raven started to float.
"What is happening? Why is she floating?"
"Atta girl"
"What is going on?"
"She's a half demon...she's healing herself"
"Well then she should be as good as new tomorrow...well physically"
"Don't worry I'll help her"
"I'm sure you will...you're a good kid"
"Thanks"
"She's in good hands now"
He picked her up bridal style and walked out the door.
"Wait does this cost anything?"
"Normally yes but I'll let it go"
"Thanks again"
"Your welcome"
Beast Boy slowly reached the room without every teenaged guy trying to sneak a peek at Raven.
Beast Boy reached his communicator and put it up to his mouth.
"Beast Boy calling Robin"
"This is Robin"
"Robin call Cyborg and get to my room Now!"
"What happened?"
"Something bad hurry"
"Okay I'M on my way"
Robin shut off.
"Starfire, Cyborg come on lets go, Beast Boy says he has an emergency.
"You got it"
Star picked them up and flew them as fast as she could to their room.
