Crazy or Suicidal?
Chapter Two: Lecture
Previously in chapter one……
Jump now Raven! She urged herself. Now before it's too late! But I love him! He broke your heart! But he said sorry! Jump! No. Jump! No. JUMP! Raven slowly took BB's hand and fell into his arms.
"Oh Raven. I'm sooo sorry! I love you." he said softly. For a while they just sat there. They both held each other like it was the end of the world. Like there would be no tomorrow.
Chapter Two
"Let's go home." BeastBoy said as he reluctantly pulled away. BeastBoy must have seen the flash of worry that took over Raven's face because he just gave her a light peck on the cheek and pulled her to her feet. The two flew to the tower in silence, Raven with her powers and BB had morphed into a green Raven. She chuckled when she saw this and he stared at her happy face. It was a rare thing to see the goth girl smile so BB savored the moment. When Raven noticed this though, her cheeks turned a scarlet color and she looked away.
They got to the tower to find Robin in front of a computer that showed a map of the town. As soon as Robin saw the teens, he charged over to Raven, embracing her in a colossal hug. "Where have you been!" he asked. "We've been searching the whole city to find you. Where did you go? Are you hurt? What happend?" Instead of responding, Raven guiltily looked away. Robin shifted his glance from Raven to BeastBoy. "Where was she BeastBoy?" he repeated.
"Uh… well… I-" "You what BeastBoy?" BeastBoy looked over at Raven (he was between them) and she was silently pleading him not to tell. "Y-you know. She was just walking around." BB had hoped Robin would leave it at that. Unfortunatly, Robin didn't let nim off the hook.
"Around where BeastBoy? You two are not going anywhere until I get an answer." BB sighed.
"I found her at the old bridge."
"But what was she doing there? No one would go there unless- RAVEN!" Robin was now hysterical.
"Uhh... Shouldn't you get Star and Cy?" BB inquired.
"Fine. I will. But you two better stay here." And with that Robin left the room. Once gone, Raven glanced over at BB.
"I'm sorry, Raven."
"For what?"
"Everything." Raven walked over and gently embraced him to show her thanks. At that moment, Robin burst into the room with Starfire and Cyborg. Being Starfire, she flew over to Raven and bear hugged her.
"Oh friend Raven! It is so joyous for you to have returned. I was beginning to fret for your safety." And with that, Raven was brought up in another bone crushing embrace.
"O.K. Star my turn now," said Cy and with that he hugged Raven firmly but gently. "Where on earth have you been girl?" he asked her once he let go. "We practically turned the town upside down looking for you!"
Before anyone could answer Robin said, "BeastBoy found her at the old bridge." Cyborg pretty much reacted the same way Robin did. "But-? Why? What? How could-" he was then cut off by Starfire.
"Please," she began. "What is this 'old bridge' that you speak of and why is it of such importance?"
"Um Star, the old bridge is, well, an old bridge that is very dangerous." Robin clarified. "People have to be either mad or suicidal to go there."
"But what is the meaning of the word 'suicidal' and why would someone go there if they were angry?" Starfire was really confused now.
"Okay Star. The old bridge is a dangerous place where people go only if they are crazy or if they want to kill themselves." Cyborg reasoned.
"Ooooooooohhh. But we all know that friend Raven is not crazy so she must be…" Star then rushed over to Raven crying, "Oh friend Raven you must not attempt murder on yourself!" Star was gripping Raven so tightly that BB and Cy had to pull her off while Robin comforted her.
"Don't worry Star. Raven won't kill herself. Right, Raven?" Robin gave Raven a stern look. She just barely nodded.
"Well, its time to get some shut eye! G' night ya'll!" Cyborg yawned before drooping upstairs.
"Come on Star." Robin led the sleepy titan to her room.
That left only Raven and BeastBoy in the room. She shifted uncomfortably. She was thankful dhe had her cape because she was shivering badly from the cold.
"You o.k. Rea?" asked a concerned BB.
"Huh? Oh- yeah! I'm fine." But she knew that even BeastBoy knew better than to buy that excuse.
"Are you sure? You're trembling. I'll walk you to your room so you can change."
"o.k." The two teens walked in silence until they got to Raven's room. Again BeastBoy spoke up.
"Raven?" She turned to him. "I'm very sorry." Instead of ignoring him or insulting him, Raven did something that was, well, just not Raven. She gave a faint smile and gave BB a warm, gentle hug. She brought her lips up to his ear and whispered...
"Thank you, BeastBoy. I love you." She then departed into the privacy of her room, leaving a confused, love-struck BB. Inside Raven was battling with her emotions.
In Raven's mind
Did I just say that?
Yes, you did.
Do I really mean it?
Duh! Of course you meant it. Otherwise you wouldn't have said it.
Yeah I know but I- wait a minute! You're not one of my emotions!
Actually, yes I am.
Who are you? You're not Happy! And you're definitely not Calm!
No, I am not. I am your stronges emotion. Your most powerful emotion. Love.
Love!
Last time I checked, yeah that's what I said. The voice in her head was starting to sound annoyed.
But-but I don't do love.
Well it seems like you most certainly do.
All of the Stress in Raven's mid caused a lamp to shatter.
O.k. Listen, I don't know what's happening but I can't love BB. My emotions are too dangerous!
There is one way to control them.
And what the heck is that!
Well, the only way to have full control of your power without having to concentrate every friggin' second of the day is to-
Regular POV
At that moment there was a knock on the door. 'KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK'
"I'm coming!" The goth girl grumbled. She expected to see Robin or Starfire at the door asking if anything was wrong. But there, in the hallway was BeastBoy.
