Hehehe, okay, I'm WAY to giddy right now... so here's my story! ENJOY! (Oh, warning, Raven is a little O.O.C in this chapter, but I guess she is in every chapter, but here it's a bit more obvious, but it's essential to the chapter)

Silence sat in the studio, strumming a guitar and singing softly. She couldn't actually play the instrument, but she like the sound. When she was in the middle of singing "Why Do Angels Cry", Beast Boy walked in. He walked stiffly, and had a slight blush on his face. Every few seconds he would glance around nervously, as if looking for someone. Silence eventually sighed and put the guitar down.

"Beast Boy," she said, "what do you want?" He glanced at her as if startled, then looked around again.

"Is there anyone else here?" He whispered. Silence raised an eyebrow.

"Beast Boy, we're in a sound-proof booth." A sweat drop appeared on his forehead.

"Ah… right. Um... do you know how to play that thing?" he gestured to the guitar.

"Stop avoiding the question. What's bothering you?"

"Well, you see, I've been feeling different lately, almost… giddy. And it only happens when Raven's around." Silence's heart did a flip. "You see, I think that… I think that I'm in love with Raven." Silence sat there a moment, taking it all in. Beast Boy waved his hand in front of her face.

"Hello? Anybody home?"

"I… I love you too." She mumbled. Beast Boy stepped back.

"What?!" Silence quickly realized her mistake.

"I said, I think that Raven loves you too." Beast Boy's face immediately perked up.

"She does?" Silence looked thoughtful.

"I… I think so. But don't talk to her about it yet. Do me a favor and wait till I reveal my identity." Beast Boy nodded, too excited to care.

"Sure Silence, anything. And thanks a lot! I knew I could tell you!" he cried as he ran out the studio.

Silence waved till he was out of sight and then her face fell.

'Do I?' She thought. 'Do I actually love Beast Boy? I think I do, but I can't! I can't reveal any emotions! I'd only end up hurting him!'

'You reveal emotions as Silence.' One part of her argued. 'What's so different now?'

'It just is.' She exclaimed, though not convincingly. Unbeknownst to her, a single crack appeared along her pin, the container of all her access emotional powers. Unbeknownst to her, that container started to break. And unbeknownst to her, her control started to slip.

"Abbi!!!" The cry was filled with terror, but it came from the lest-terror filled person. "Abbi, get your butt down here!!" Abbi and the other Titans quickly ran down the stairs, to find a sorrowful Raven sitting on the couch, head down.

"Raven?" Beast Boy ventured. "Are you okay?" She looked up at him and the Titans. Her face had tear tracks on it, but nothing was blowing up. The Titans sat there confused until Raven spoke.

"Abbi… it's gone. It broke. I don't know how, it just, all of the sudden… fell apart." Abbi's face softened.

"Raven…" she cooed gently, sitting down near the heartbroken girl. "Raven, Raven it's okay."

"No it's not!" Raven almost shouted. "My… my only way of feeling, my only way of knowing, my only way of caring, my only way of lovingjust broke in my hands! How can it be okay?" Abbi sat down near Raven and took something from her hands, for the first time, the other Titans noticed the silver glinting object. They could tell it was a pin, and from the looks of it, it had once been shaped as a magnificent bird. Beast Boy immediately recognized it.

"How did you get Silence's pin?" He asked cautiously. Raven looked at him with a blank stare. Abbi quickly answered.

"It's Raven's. Silence just borrows it." Beast Boy frowned.

"All the time?" Abbi nodded.

"It's her good luck charm. She takes it whenever she goes out to meet fans/paparazzi or sing." She looked back down at Raven.

"Rae, it's okay. I can make another. It would usually take about a month, but with Thor here, I can do it in a week." Raven looked up at her.

"You can?" Her voice was unusually meek and shallow. When Abbi nodded she wiped her eyes. "Gosh, do I feel stupid."

"Um…" Robin said. "I don't mean to interrupt this confusing conversation, but may I ask why nothing is blowing up?"

"Now that you mention it." Raven said, looking up at the remaining Titans and Thor "I don't have the slightest- Starfire! What happened to you!" She quickly levitated over to her friend who stood confused. "How did you get these injuries? We haven't had a battle in weeks!"

"What are you talking about Friend Raven?" Starfire said in an usually perky voice. "There is nothing wrong with me!" But Raven could see in her eyes. She was lying.

"Starfire." She said gently. "You are one of my best friends. Tell me the truth." Star's eyes glistened with unshed tears and she shook her head wildly.

"Nothing Friend Raven. Nothing is wrong. Everything is perfect. Just perfect." Starfire crouched down into a ball. "I am alright. I am fine, there is nothing wrong." She sat in her little ball, quivering and muttering. Raven briskly reached down and picked her up, carrying her to the couch. AS soon as she touched the material, Abbi was examining her.

"Raven." Abbi said. "I feel the wounds, but I can't see them. How about you guys?"

Beast Boy sniffed. "I can smell the blood."

Robin looked sad. "I… I can sense the pain coming off of her."

Cyborg was busy checking his scanners. "My scanners are going haywire. It's like there's a covering over them." Thor was staring into space.

"There's magic covering her." He said suddenly. "A spell of some sort, with no direction and no purpose. It's been covering her ever since her injuries began." Abbi nodded.

"It had no goal or directions so it didn't know about you're special senses. The magic's why Cyborg's machines are going crazy."

Raven looked around.

"I'm I the only one that can see the wounds." Everyone else nodded, their faces grim.

Abbi spoke. "Actually, it seems that Starfire was quite aware of these wounds, and caused them upon herself from her emotional battle. She willed the magic to hide her wounds, not wanting to bother you. Her heart is dying, and as a result, her body is hurting itself in her sleep."

"Well, we have to do something!" Raven said with unusual emotion. Suddenly, Starfire's face, which had become quite pale, regained its normal color. Everyone looked at Star, then at Raven.

"Abbi." She whispered. "Abbi, that's where all my excess power has been going. That's why nothing has been blowing up and why the when the pin broke it didn't destroyed anything." Abbi looked up sharply.

"But that means…" she shook her head and looked at Raven. "That means you have to use it." Her eyes were pleading, begging for her friend's life. "Raven, please. She'll die without any help, and if we can't see the problem, we can't fix it. Please, Raven, for Starfire's sake." Raven backed away, shaking her head.

"I can't. it's the only power that He doesn't know about. If I use it now, he might discover it and use it to kill my friends."

"Raven." Beast Boy said gently. "I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, so this might sound really, really stupid, but if your aren't using this power of yours to protect us, then how does not using it to save Starfire protect us?" Raven stared at Beast Boy. Sometimes simplicity is the best answer. Some times we look to deep into the understanding, thinking it means more then it really does. That had certainly happened here.

Some times peoples eyes reveal everything. They're a passage way to their very soul. So Raven looked deep into each person's eyes.

Raven looked at Abbi, the one person who fully understood what was going on here, and saw defiance. She wouldn't let her friend die, no matter what.

Cyborg radiated trust. He had no clue whatsoever was going on here, but instead of worry or confusion, he let blind trust in Raven lead him.

Robin was flooded with pleading and worry. Raven expected nothing less. After all, he loved Starfire, even if he didn't know it. He also had trust in his eyes. He believe in her, in his comrade.

Thor was filled with understanding. He knew he had no part in this problem, yet he still felt for Raven and Starfire, understanding what a big sacrifice this would be for Raven, and how much pain Starfire was in.

And in Beast Boy's eyes, she saw something she wasn't familiar with. It was more then friendship, more then comradeship, more then affection, but she couldn't quite place it. But she loved it, and could feel it swelling up inside her too.

She closed her eyes and imagined Starfire, one of her best friends in the world, she was always compassionate, always caring. She would willingly give up anything for her friends.

Snapping her eyes open, she looked at each of her friends, each representing the greatest traits she could imagine; defiance, trust, comradeship, understanding, compassion, and love. Raven smiled and crossed to Starfire's side, sitting down next to her, holding her hand. Starfire awakened slightly and tried to conjure up a weak smile at Raven. Raven felt some invisible force squeeze her heart.

"Don't worry Star." She whispered, giving her friend's hand a squeeze. "I'll help you." She looked at Starfire, waiting for a response. When she nodded, Raven sat up straight and started to sing.

'Her smile
So fake,
Yet no one sees the truth about her.

Her eyes
Lost glow,
Her world doesn't seem to shine anymore.

How can no one see the truth about this girl,
How her world is falling apart?

At night she falls on her knees,
Begging for mercy to be free.
No one really see the tears that fall,
Cause no one really knows that…
She's dying.'

Starfire's skin started to pale and bruises appeared all over. Everyone gasped in surprise, but Raven just kept singing.

'Her heart
So kind,
Yet it's so full of scars and pain.

Her soul
So numb,
From everything that she has become.

Why am I the only one who can see her pain,
How the tears fall when no one's around?'

Huge, gaping cuts started to appear along her legs, arms and torso. Little scratches lined her face. She looked like the "Princess" ghost from 13 Ghosts. Abbi and Thor immediately started to inspect the wounds when Robin ran for the first aid and Cy went to prepare the infirmary. But all Beast Boy could do was stand there and stare at Raven. Her high, clear, melodious voice reminded him of someone, but he couldn't quite figure out who.

'At dawn her soul is awoken to the ache,
She begs and pleas for mercy.
Yet no one hears her cry,
Cause no one really knows that…
She's dying.'

Suddenly Beast boy realized who she sounded like. All the pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly. He blushed, remembering what he had told Silence the other day 'I think I love her…'

'Her life is on the line,
So fragile, ready to break.
Yet no one seems to know,
Or perhaps they don't care.
I want to help her so,
But all I can do is watch in vain,
Watching as her tears fall with the rain.
After all this time why can't we see that…
She's dying'?

Raven's eyes remained closed as she let the tune rest. Its hypnotic ending note seemed to stretch to the heavens. She opened her eyes to see a grateful Robin watching Abbi, Thor and Cyborg wheeled the unconscious Starfire away.

"Thank you." He mouthed to her, before running after them. She smiled slightly and leaned back. She knew that there would be dire consequences for this, but for now, she let the ending note seeped into her mind. Until she heard a cough. Looking over to the t.v., she saw a blushing Beast Boy. Raven blushed too, remembering his confession.

"Ahhh…" she said, for once in her life failing to find the right words.

'After all this time, why can't we see that she's dying.'
