Summary: Raven gets hurt, prompting her and Beast Boy to realize their true feelings. RaeXBB Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans (obviously) for if I did, there would be a lot more Raven and Beast Boy moments.
Author's Note: I'd like to thank all the people that R&R! You made me feel all tingly inside! Well, not really, but you did make me feel very proud of my work and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last (well you might not like the dream sequence)! Oh yeah, sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out.
Slade Began to get closer to Raven. A glint of wickedness flashed in his eyes. Beast Boy reacted quickly and jumped in front of Raven, shielding her completely.
"You want to play Beast Boy? Fine, I'll kill you before I get her.
Slade charged Beast Boy with the speed of a cheetah. Beast Boy tried to withstand Slade's blow, but was knocked backwards against the nearby wall.
Beast Boy fell to the floor. Slade picked Beast Boy up by the collar. "Good-bye Beast Boy"
Raven stared in disbelief, she tried to get up but was still very sore and weak. She tried harder to get up, but fell off the bed. She started to levitate before she hit the ground and turned around to witness Slade throwing Beast Boy toward the window.
"BEAST BOY!" She cried.
The air filled with the earsplitting sound of shattering glass. Raven flew to the window. She looked over the edge, to see Beast Boy falling to the earth below. She dove to catch him but she knew she wouldn't save him in time. The familiar black shadow surrounded Beast Boy and Raven flew him back to her arms. She looked up to see Slade staring down at them Raven slowly floated to the window where Slade awaited.
Beast Boy had woken up halfway through the ride up and was pretending to be asleep to attack Slade by surprise. Just a few more inches and he could leap at him as a tiger, but as soon as Raven reached the window she began to speak, Beast Boy decided to listen, she said, "Why'd you try to kill me? I thought that was against Trigon's rules."
"I don't work for him anymore, " Slade said with that devilish tone back in his voice, "and I don't want him to take over the world, that's my job. So I need to kill his portal to our world, and that's you, Raven."
"NO!" Beast Boy cried as he leaped at Slade in mid transformation, by the time he had reached him Beast Boy was swinging his massive claws and aiming for his face. Beast Boy missed by an inch.
"You can't beat me alone Beast Boy."
All of a sudden Slade was surrounded by darkness and slammed against a wall
"He's not alone," Raven said, "and there's more of us…"
"TITANS GO!" Slade whipped around to see starbolts heading straight for him. A look of panic came into his eyes as he ducked out of the way, right into Cyborgs canon. This knocked him backwards into the wall and a bunch of dust flew into the air. When the cleared Slade was pushed into the wall. Robin ran over and started doing his fancy kicking moves (I don't know what they're called) right in Slade's face.
Slade fell off the wall right onto the floor just as Beast Boy had done earlier. He looked up staring at all his enemies. Slade realized he was beat and ran for the window. Robin shot his little boomerang thing with the rope on the end (I don't know what that's called either) at Slade's legs. Slade easily jumped over it and got to the window, but before he jumped he turned around stared hard at Raven.
"I'll get you Raven, but not before I get all your friends, and I'll see to it you watch Beast Boy die.
Rage inflicted Raven and a few large objects were thrown in Slade's direction, he made a small jump to avoid them and he was out the window. But she wasn't done yet.
She flew to the window in an furious frenzy. Scanned every which way and yelled, " I'LL KILL YOU BEFORE YOU EVER TOUCH THEM!" In her rage Raven had used much of her power and was feeling a bit weak. She floated backwards, until she felt her feet touch the floor. She fell to her knees, tired and scared. Pictures of her dead friends were flashing through her mind.
Beast Boy ran over to Raven, to help her up, but when she looked at him her violet eyes tortured his heart. They looked dull and distressing, not full of their usual clever glint, but when she looked at Beast Boy relief flooded over her face. He pulled her to her feet. She looked around the medical room, holes were everywhere in the walls the bed had been broken in half, some furniture was missing and the window was gone. No one really was that concerned.
"I'll call for repairs," said Robin, heading for the kitchen phone.
"I'll check the security system, I don't know how Slade could've gotten in. Cyborg said slightly to himself, "Star, could you help?"
"Yes, I will help." She turned to Raven and Beast Boy to wave a little goodbye.
They all left the room, except Beast Boy and Raven. Raven was still a bit wobbly from all the power she used.
"Rae, are you okay?" Beast Boy questioned, " You used a lot of magic and you're still recovering."
He let go of her. She could stand okay, but looked very pale. "I'm fine Beast Boy, but I think I need to sleep."
"I'll walk you to your room then."
She gave a little smile and headed for the door. "Rae…"
"Yes Beast Boy?"
"Slade said he was gonna kill you… I wanted you to know I won't let that happen."
There was a long silence; it was broken by Raven's small voice somehow managing to speak the word, "Thanks…"
As they left the ER Raven stumbled, Beast Boy took notice and ran over, "Let me carry you."
"No, but thanks. I'll just float."
With that she lifted off the ground and glided down the hall. Beast Boy followed closely. When they reached the door Raven went in and Beast Boy began to follow, but she stopped him.
"Beast Boy, really, I'm fine. I can sleep by myself." Beast Boy looked a bit taken aback, but he knew she hated being treated like a baby. So he backed off. "Night Rae"
She gave him a long look and said, "Night…BB"
Beast Boy smiled, he liked it when she used his nickname. Raven then backed away and the door closed. "She never said I couldn't guard the outside of her room…" Beast Boy leaned against the wall, waiting for the long night of being a watchdog to begin.
Meanwhile, in Ravens room she had settled down in her bed and lay down. Her eyes began to droop, and soon she was asleep.
DREAM SEQUENCE!
Raven was running through the dark halls of Titans Tower. She was trying to reach the common room where she had heard Starfire's scream come from. But no matter which way she turned she couldn't reach it. After what seemed like an eternity she ran into the common room.
She looked around, in the kitchen things had been toppled over and food was on the counter, it looked as if someone had been chopping fish, some knives were missing from the rack, she looked at the walls, holes and burnt spots (probably from Star's starbolts) covered them and then she looked down and horror made her throat tighten, there lying on the floor in their own pools of blood, were her friends.
Robin's body usually so full of life and determination, lay limply face down on the floor a cut open on his throat and other cuts on his wrists, his eyes were closed and he looked as if he had broken his leg.
Cyborg was lying on his back, with a look of terror in his eyes, wires were sticking out of his back and arms, they looked as if the had been torn out and severed, his usual glowing parts were now, not blue, but a dreary gray.
Starfire, lay on her side with a slit in her throat also, her hair was ruffled and bruises were everywhere, clearly showing she had fought back against her attacker. Her eyes usually full of laughter and kindness were now dull and missing their usual sparkle.
All of their eyes were the most painful to look at. Then panic struck her, where was Beast Boy? She looked around the room until she spotted Slade holding Beast Boys limp body up by the collar of his shirt again. He had a small kitchen knife, "I told you I was going to make you watch him die." Slade drew back the knife…
"NO! DON'T!"
The knife slid through his stomach like he was a thin napkin, he let out a shriek of pain. Slade dropped him and disappeared into the shadows. Raven ran over calling out Beast Boy's name.
When she reached him, he was coughing on his own blood. She held him tight, staring deep into his eyes. "Raven………" he said softly.
"Don't speak." She said with tears in her eyes. She could feel his warm blood on her hands. He then closed his eyes, never to open them again. She collapsed over him, she never told him how she felt.
Slade came out of the shadows, " Its your fault you know… if you had made it to the room in time, your friends might still be alive… but you didn't. So now maybe you should die with them…"
Raven tuned around to see Slade jump at her.
DREAM SEQUENCE OVER! (Wow… I just read that over… that was a bit dark and gruesome for me…)
Raven woke up screaming, Beast Boy ran in her room searching it for whatever scared her. When Raven saw him, she ran to him and threw her arms around him sobbing. Beast Boy returned the hug with no hesitation, still wondering what had scared her he asked, "Raven what happened?"
Raven would have told him, but for some reason she didn't want him to know. "Nothing, just a bad dream"
Beast Boy let go of her and stared into her terrified eyes, she was trembling. He helped her back to her bed. He gave on last scan of the room. And went back to guarding the door.
Raven then made her decision; she was going to kill Slade by herself. She didn't want her friends her friends hurt, especially Beast Boy.
Later that night, Raven got dressed, and snuck down stairs to the common room. She was out the door when something grabbed her arm, at first she thought Beast Boy had caught her and was trying to stop her, but then the gripped tightened until it was painful. It pulled her backwards, she was about to scream for help but a hand was clamped over her mouth
Raven squirmed to get away, but nothing was helping something had her and it didn't want to let go…
Well that's the end to the second chapter, that was really gruesome for me! REALLY believe me! Wow… well anyway I'd appreciate some feed back on what you thought. Once again I apologize for that dream sequence… it kinda scared me…maybe some of you have done scarier stuff, but me never! O.O
