Chapter 9- Comfort in the Arms of Darkness

…………………………………………………..

It took me three days to get better, I'm lucky that I heal so fast, but Raven's little walk has gone on for awhile now, I'm starting to think…maybe she was just using me…

No…what am I thinking, she wouldn't do that…

I walked behind Titans Tower to Terra's grave, I noticed that someone had carved something else into the headstone.

Terra.

A great friend and crime fighter.

A warrior's life cut far too short.

And A love that never had a chance to bloom.

An incredible teacher, and forgiving soul…thank you.

"Raven…" I mumbled as I bent down and picked up the chisel and hammer that was still lying there.

I carved into the stone, "An understanding savior who never quit fighting…even after death" under the last line.

I sighed "Hey…I know you can't hear me anymore now that you are gone…I guess that's my fault that you died. I should have been honest with Raven from the start…instead I took you because I thought she'd never take me…"

I sat down next to the headstone, "I stole a perfectly good life from you…you could have been happy with someone else I'm sure…they wouldn't hurt you…not like I did…"

"But I know if you were here right now you'd tell me that I made you happy, and that I need to go find Raven…you are right…I guess I do…"

I stood up and started towards the tower, I turned after a couple steps, "Thank you Terra…for everything…I love you…but now I have to let you go…I'm going to go find Raven…wish me luck…"

I walked towards to the tower and didn't look back.

……………………………………………………………

As soon as I walked through the front door I was greeted be Cyclops.

"She is up in her room BB, go see her." He said as I walked though the door.

"Jeez, what is it with you guys…don't be pushy." I said quietly.

Cyborg looked at me with a stern face, "You can walk, or I can drag you…you are goin' up there either way."

"Alright, Alright…" I walked to the elevator, the doors opened and Robin was inside, I stood aside to let him though, but he did not get out.

"Uh-" I was about to say something when Robin cut in with a serious, "Get in Beastboy."

I did as I was asked and Robin clicked the number of the floor with the bedrooms.

"She hasn't visited me…" I said quietly.

"She just wanted to sort things out in her mind…" Robin replied.

"Am I in trouble Robin?" I asked, I knew I wasn't, but I was eager to change the subject.

"Nope, we are just making sure you don't chicken out." Robin finally cracked a smile.

"Dude, I am gonna so get you for this…" I mumbled under my breath.

"And what will you do Beastboy?" Robin asked, seemingly half-serious, half-curious.

"Hook you up with Starfire. Then bug YOU about it…" I thought to myself.

"I don't know, I'll think of something." I said, pretending I didn't have a clue.

The elevator opened and Robin shoved me out, pressing the close door button behind me.

"Just you wait…" I mumbled under my breath.

"FRIEND BEASTBOY!" Starfire lunged at me from the end of the hall, knocking me too the ground.

"Friend Raven is waiting for you, go see her or…" Starfire pulled out a note.

"Suffer the consequences?" I guessed.

"Yeah! How'd you know?"

I sighed, "Sometimes it's just obvious."

Starfire smiled in a near normal fashion, "Beastboy…I'm proud of you. You have matured very much."

Starfire hugged me, and then went back to being the Starfire everyone was used too, "Now, we must bring you to your court!"

"I can walk by myself Star…"

She gave me that creepy knowing smiled and nodded me down the hallway.

"Either she has always known more than she let's on…or she got into Cyborg's romance movie collection…" I thought as I turned the corner to the hall with Raven's room.

I walked nearby and saw the door was open.

"Beastboy." It was Raven, she was using her monotone voice again.

"Oh no…Don't tell me She is going back to…no please no…We killed Trigon didn't we, please don't tell me she changed her mindohgodohgodohgod…" My thoughts were starting to run together when Raven said, "Please come in."

All my thoughts stopped as I walked though her door, with my head down.

"So uh…how is life without Trigon." I asked as I stared at my boots.

"It's good, I have one-hundred percent control on my powers now, no need to worry about my emotions screwing up my life." Raven said in the same monotone.

"If that's the case why are you still talking like that? Why monotone..." I thought, for the first time noting I really needed new boots.

"Look at me Beastboy. It's rude not to look someone in the eye when you speak to them."

"She's going to tell me I don't have a chance…" I thought as I slowly raised my head.

My eyes widened, she was grinning, Raven was actually grinning.

She was sitting on the end of her bed, legs crossed at her ankles, she had her hood down at the moment.

"Of course, without needing to keep Trigon in check, I have little use for meditation other than to clear my thoughts…That frees up a lot of time."

I was still in shock seeing Raven grin, "So what…are you going to spend that time on?"

"Hmm…I guess I could spend some time with Starfire and go shopping for some other clothes…color might be nice every now and then…" she shrugged, "Maybe learn some hand to hand combat from Robin…"

My head was drifting back to my boots.

"Spend some time with Cyborg and learn some electronics… Maybe you could teach me how to cook…"

"So that's it huh…" I said quietly.

"What else would there be Beastboy?" Raven looked puzzled.

"Nothing…cooking class starts tomorrow morning…" I turned and started to walk though the door.

"Of course I still have lots of time left over, even after all that…I've got it!" Raven shouted.

"What…?" I said quietly.

"I could spend it with the one I love the most, and let myself laugh at his jokes, and spend my time loving him, and thanking him for saving me…"

I looked up, my back was still turned to her.

"That is…if he still wants me…"

I turned back to her, she looked uncertain, "I was afraid you-" I started.

"-lost interest in you?" Raven finished, "Beastboy, I couldn't stop loving you when you were taken, why would I now?"

I looked to the floor, "I'll always miss her…" I mumbled.

"Come here Beastboy…" Raven said, I walked over and sat next to her on her bed.

She wrapped her arms around me and said, "It'll all be alright."

I had finally found what I was looking for, the missing piece of my life and my heart.

I had found Comfort in the Arms of Darkness.

……………………………………………………

"So you have finally found love Eh, Beastboy? Good, since I need to prepare for awhile I'll let you enjoy being happy for awhile, she will be much more useful now that I won't have to deal with her father…"

"Master, what about Terra? I may be able to save her soul from the abyss."

"Do it, if we can find a proper body for her she may be of use to us."

"Yes Master."

"Little Raven isn't scared anymore hmm…You should be…this is where it really begins…"

…………………………………………………………………………………
