Hey all I'm back and I'm bursting open with some cool ideas for this chapter. As I side note I was showing my story to one of my friends and this is what he said 'dude why the hell are you writing a romance' I told him I'm a softie and he left me alone for the rest of the dayso anyways this chapter is mostly Raven discovering things about Beast Boy, and their relationship growing. I may decide to put in some stuff about Cyborg having a romance later on just to let all the Cyborg fans to stop trying to assassinate me. And of course I'll put some more tension between Starfire and Robin yah! ON WITH THE STORY! PS I don't own Teen Titans.
Rubbing her temples, Raven walked down the stairs, into what she liked to call 'Saturday of mindless'. Since it was a Saturday, mostly everyone did nothing. Cyborg hung around watching 'Tech TV', or going down to the garage to work on who knows what. Robin came dressed up in his regular suit and mask (Raven always wondered what his eyes looked like…or even if he had eyes for that matter). He even kept himself from working on his most recent reports on Overload or the mysterious RedX imposter. Starfire, usually until lunch, just stayed in her favorite purple pajamas and bunny slippers and hung around with Robin or reading on the couch (Raven finally got Starfire to read some of her books even though she said they were 'unsettlingly awkward'). Beast Boy just got dressed in his usual suit, belt and gloves, (She always wondered why he wore those gloves all the time) and sit around vegetating in front of the huge screen TV… But today Beast Boy couldn't be found anywhere. As she wondered were the green changeling was Raven shrugged it off, figuring he just slept in.
Walking past the couch (which had Robin and Starfire watching and into the kitchen to prepare herself a cup of herbal tea and a bowl of cereal, Raven noticed a cup of tea on the counter. "Did I forget this here last night, or something?" Not taking much though into the mater she just poured the old tea cup into the sink (which was getting kinda full). After her cup of tea was ready and Raven had poured herself a bowl of cheerios, she pulled a stool out and sat down at the counter.
"Happy waking from your sleep, Raven!"
Almost spilling her tea Raven turned her head to one side to see a particular red head waving at her from behind the couch. "Yyya… good morning" Starfire had always been extra hyper on Saturday mornings. Starfire said it had to do with something like 'the moon of Garlflax covers the mountains of Plomef, which sends out happiness throughout her kingdom, and that she still felt the 'happiness energy' here on earth.' Raven just figured she was an airhead.
"Hey, good morning" Raven didn't even notice Robin's good morning because she was in deep thought about everything that had suddenly happened yesterday.
"Beast Boy confessing that he loves me, me kissing him…good kisser though, Beast Boy having this anger inside him, my dream that I can't remember, and what he did… I'll have to tell him" After quickly drinking her tea and scarfing down the cereal Raven, got up and headed for the medical room.
Upon nearing the door to were Beast Boy slept last night Raven thought to herself. "Maybe I can be happy with him, he's such a nice guy, I just never realized it before… 'She', came into his life"
/FLASBACK/
As Beast Boy and Cyborg sat on the couch playing racing games, from time to time arguing about tricks they did and so forth. A certain girl wearing a blue cloak over her face sat quietly at the far end of the couch, presumably reading.
'Maybe I should ask him… No, I can't do that, he probably doesn't like me… well he seems cheery enough around me… wait he's even the last one to stick around to help out a little extra when I'm down… he does seem to look out for me a lot…"
"Titans we have trouble! It seems we have a report about activity in the desert… something about a girl being chased by a huge scorpion" After Robins 'leader speech' was done the titans left the tower and headed towards the desert.
/END FLASHBACK/
Knock, Knock… no reply, Raven walked into the medical room to find it was empty.
Why can't I sleep! Sitting up in his bed Beast Boy looked over at the digital clock on his bedside table, it read 3:17am "what is wrong with me?" Getting up from his bed and putting his pants and gloves on Beast Boy headed out of the room, and into the dimly lit hallway. "Why does my head hurt so much" Pressing his fist to his temples, Beast Boy felt dizzy. "I need to get some air"
Searching the Room for Beast Boy and finding no trace of him. Raven franticly walked out of the room, and leaned against the closed door behind her "Where could he be?" Shaking her head from side to side Raven calmed herself down. "I need to meditate. If I don't, something will probably blow up." Walking down the hallway, with a concerned look on her face Raven wondered to herself "What ever is wrong with beast boy… I hope I can help… I'll do anything to help him… I love him" Walking up the stairs that led to the roof and finally reaching the door, Raven turned the handle and walked out into the bright morning air. As she got a slight shiver from the temperature change from being inside, Raven looked towards the sunrise, and with a smile she was sure she saw a hint of green in the light.
Walking out into the cold night air, Beast Boy noticed the sky beginning to brighten, and decided to watch the sunrise. "What is wrong with me?" Taking a seat on the edge of the tower, Beast Boy watched the waves crash onto the rocks far below. "Yesterday went so well." Sigh "I told the girl I love how I feel about her, and find out she feels the same way about me" With a chuckle Beast Boy watched two sea gulls head from the island towards the bridge, across the bay. "Good kisser to." Beast Boy sat there for ten minutes without saying or thinking anything, until out of the blue a question appeared to him. "Does Raven feel this cold… when she's out here?"
"Beast Boy!"
"Huh?" the green teen turned around to see Raven running towards him.
"There you are… hey what are you doing out here anyways. Oh you must be freezing." Raven undid the clasp to her cloak and skillfully twirled it off, and put it around Beast Boy… who showed no emotion at all… just stared out at the sea.
"Thanks Rae" Beast Boy looked to his right to see the love of his life sit down next to him.
With her arms crossed Raven gave Beast Boy a serious look "One, 'Rae', Second what are you doing out here, you feel ice cold?"
"I couldn't sleep last night, so a talked to Starfire a bit and I still couldn't sleep, so around 3 o'clock I came out here" Beast Boy's attention again went to the waves crashing into the island.
"You've been out here all night! But it's cold out here… wait, you talked to Starfire last night? About what?" (N/A just wanna say, if I say other wise or an expression is obviously being done… Raven is talking in her usual monotone voice.)
With the confused look on Raven's face Beast Boy remembered the conversation he had with Starfire. "Well, I couldn't sleep so I headed for the kitchen, to have some of your tea; I figured it could calm me down. Since you drink it all of the time"
"So that's why I found that cup out this morning"
"I hope you don't mind?"
"What?" Raven had totally 'spaced out' for no apparent reason (which, she didn't do very often…)
"Your tea… I had some…" Beast Boy smiled over to Raven and also leaned back on his hands.
"That's ok; actually I've been wondering why no one else liked to drink it" Ravens face slightly scrunched up, to show that she actually did wounded why. "So what did you and Starfire talk about?"
"Well… she said she has doubts if 'boy wonder' actually likes her, and something about never finding love on this planet" The way Beast Boy looked at the waves… it seemed he was at more peace… than Raven, was during her meditation.
"You didn't give her bad advice? Or try and crack a joke… did you?"
Beast Boy waved his hand in front of his face. "No… is that how you think about me? … I told her to ask him out." With a slightly annoyed but still calm expression, Beast Boy drew his legs in, and sat cross legged.
Raven rolled her eyes. "Well sometimes… but not always" Raven smiled at Beast Boy and leaned in to kiss him. "You're so kind…" Raven leaned in closer and kissed the green changeling. As their lips locked Beast Boy remembered something.
Drawing away from his love Beast Boy noticed that the gothic beauty looked a little hurt and looking at her boots. "Sorry, but I need to ask you something."
Realizing that Beast Boy had something on his mind, Raven retuned to her usual blank face she turned towards Beast Boy and sat cross legged. "What?"
Beast Boy tuned towards Raven and looked into her eyes "What happened, when I was knocked out yesterday?"
"What?" The question (even though she new it would come sooner or later) caught Raven totally off guard.
"Last night in the medical room you looked like you had something on your mind… and while I was up here last night, I figured out what it could have been"
"Oh…" It seemed that the silence between the two teens had lasted forever, but had only been a few seconds before Beast Boy spoke up.
"When I blacked out… it took control right?"
"Yes…" Fighting back tears of what happened yesterday Raven continued "…when you blacked out I rushed to you and…"
With concern over his face Beast Boy had to know what 'he' did. "WHAT! WHAT DID I DO!"
Almost in a whisper. "It will be easier if I showed you" Raven stretched her arm towards Beast Boy's face and laid her slender fingers on his face.
"Wha..." almost as if he was being pulled out from his body by his brain, after what sounded like a hurricane of whispers in his mind, suddenly Beast Boy found himself above his friends right after he blacked out.
Raven ran towards Beast Boy and flung herself to the fallen body and picked him up against her arms
"BEAST BOY!" a cup on the counter exploded but none took any notice.
"Friend Raven he is only sleeping." Starfire was not surprised that Raven cared so much for Beast Boy (now that she admitted it to him, Starfire figured Raven would get worried about Beast Boy if something like this happened) "Right Cyborg?"
"Yeah, I only shot him with a tranquilizer… I installed one after… what happened a few weeks ago"
"Yeah, so don't worry Raven, although it is strange that you would be so worried about Beast Boy" As Robin stared down at the dark gothic girl, holding his best friend in her arms, he wondered if something was going on that he hadn't realized until now…
Setting Beast Boy gently on the floor, Raven stood back up and covered her face with her hood to hide that she was blushing. "That was subtle" "O… yeah… sorry, wild emotions I guess… don't know what came over me"
To everyone's surprise, Beast Boy stood up with his face pointing towards the ground, and it made it seem that his face was cast in shadow.
Every one just stood there, and stared at the figure that somehow stood before them.
Robin still staring at Beast Boy motioned with his head toward Cyborg "Cyborg how strong was that tranq?"
"Strong enough to take down an elephant…why do you ask?" Cyborg looked at his wrist analyzer. "Hey guys…something's not right…"
"Aside from Beast Boy getting up from a tranquilizer, which can take down an elephant…, what?" Raven turned her head to see a horrified Cyborg.
"These brain wave readings, they're the same… almost identical… but different"
Raven turned her attention towards Beast Boy, who started to lift his head slowly. "To what?" Raven even though she tried to keep her monotone voice, a pitch of horror could still be heard.
Cyborg stared at a Beast Boy who seemed not to be himself at all, more unemotional, more distant, more evil. Cyborg gulped "When he went, primal"
A slow cackling sound could be herd coming from Beast Boy. "Well I'm still in his form… but at least I have full control this time… last time he had to fight me and 'keep you safe', ha ha ha"
Raven wanted to step back and step forward at the same time. "Beast Boy?…"
"Get away from me, BITCH!" Beast Boy back handed Raven in the face and sent her falling to the ground. As Raven held her face with her hand she new that this was not the same person that proclaimed his love to her this morning.
"Whoa! Beast Boy, what the hell are ya doing" Cyborg was still shocked at what happened and was debating if he should point his shock cannon at the person in front of him or not.
"Quit calling me that pathetic WORM! Of a name" Beast by rubbed his chin thinking of something, not at any time losing that evil smile he had. "How about calling me… 'Fury'?" Beast Boy ran towards Robin and caught him off guard. Beast Boy swung his leg at robins arm, and made contact.
"Ahh!" Robin greeted his teeth together and griped his arm in pain (he figured it was broken)
"Hey, that was fun… maybe I'll give Starfire a bloody lip" Beast Boy slowly walked towards Starfire "You know what? Beast Boy looked to as a sister. Well you know siblings fight all the time" Beast Boy lunged at Starfire, but Cyborg grabbed him and put him in a head lock.
"Help!... I can't hold him much longer!"
Raven seemed to come out of nowhere and place her hands on the side of Beast Boy's head. "Icrom, nerogo, sathei!"
"Ahhhh!..." Beast Boy again fell on conscious, and so did 'Fury'.
As Beast Boy jolted back into his mind he felt the cold again. "What the hell was that!"
Raven looked slightly embarrassed "Oh, something I learned when I was with… you know"
"Oh…" Beast Boy just remembered what he saw only moments ago and was stricken with grief "What I did…"
"That wasn't you… you feel unconscious… and 'it' awoke"
Beast Boy couldn't look At Raven because, all he could do was stare it his hands, the hands that hurt the girl he loves. "But…"
Raven grabbed Beast Boy's hand in hers, which forced him to look at her. "Hey it wasn't you that… hit me… but know you know how I felt when me other side became apparent…" Raven let go of is hands and covered her face with her hands.
"What? …What is it?" Beast Boy (even know he had just learned that his other side was able to take control) wanted to know what troubled her so much.
"I don't wanna say… ok, you just learned that your other side took over… I don't wanna put this on your mind to ok?" Raven was fighting back tears.
"Hey. I know that I'm gonna need your help to control this side of me more than ever now… but that still doesn't mean I'm here for you." Beast Boy leaned in to kiss Raven and she did the same. Beast Boy put his arms around her neck and Raven held his arms. As their lips meet for a while it seemed that all of sudden Raven felt I bit better. As they both pulled apart, from being out of breath, both of them could see each the other blushing.
Raven's face returned back to its normal blank face and monotone voice, but Beast Boy new she was still bit depressed on the inside. "Thanks"
"So what happened?" Beast hunched over with his elbows on his knees.
Raven sat hunched over with her elbows on her knees, and with her chin resting on her on the backside of her hands.
"Well… when I was about 5 years old, and my powers started to surface and…"
"And?"
"At the time I was playing Catlescolt with my friend Turra, its like checkers in a way, anyways my powers suddenly surfaced… and at the time I was really upset that I lost… and couldn't control it." Raven fell into best boy's arms and started to cry.
"I never new, I'm so sorry"
Raven sat herself back up and whipped her tears with the back of her hand. "Since I was half demon… my powers surfaced earlier than most."
"Raven"
"Yes?"
"Sometime we need to talk ok"
"Why"
"We don't know much about each other… for instance did you know my name is really… Garfield" Beast Boy turned into a fat cat resembling the one on TV, and jumped onto Raven's lap.
Raven was trying to hold back her laughter with her hand to her mouth, but was doing a poor job of it.
Beast Boy transformed back into his human form, (still on Raven's lap). And looked up at her with a childish pout "Hey it's not that funny"
"Yo what the heck are you too doing?"
Both Raven and Beast Boy turned their heads to see a startle and confused Cyborg, staring at too bright red faced teens.
Beast Boy practically jumps off Raven and rapidly waved his hands in front of his face. "Nothing man, nothing!" Raven stood up (wishing she had her cloak on so she could draw her hood over her face to hide the embarrassment)
"First of all, why are you out here? Second why are you wearing Raven's cloak? And third why the heck were you on her lap"
Raven quickly thought up a lie. "Beast Boy couldn't sleep this morning (she didn't want him to know that Beast Boy was out there since last night), he was cold, and when he got up to leave he tripped and fell on me"
"Ya that's when you came in" "she's good in stressful situations"
"Whatever. Oh, by the way Beast Boy, the rest of us are going to the beach after lunch, you know, after it warms up a bit"
"Ok sounds good" Beast Boy undid the clasp to Raven's cloak and handed it back to its owner.
"Cool see ya" with a wave the half metal man turned around to walk down the stairs.
"Hey, What about me"
Cyborg turned around to see Raven giving him an annoyed look. "What you wanna go, usually you stay inside and read or meditate or whatever."
Raven looked down at her shoes because she was nervous beyond belief, (Raven had never wore a bathing suit. Even though she does ware a leotard all the time, she felt nervous about warring a bathing suit, in front of Beast Boy) "Well, this time I feel like swimming. Ok?"
"Well sure… I guess… ok" Cyborg was surprised Raven actually 'wanted' to go swimming. "Even if she goes outside she 'coaches' when we play sports"
Beast Boy looked over at the nervous girl beside him, and saw she was twiddling her fingers. "You do something physical?" Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "I've never seen you in the gym at all."
Raven, when from being nervous about being in a swimsuit to full out annoyed, (but still managed to keep her cool). "That's because I tend to rely on my Asurathian powers ok! And, I need to meditate, so… I don't get much time to 'work out'" Raven lost her angry tone of voice halfway through her 'speech', because she started to wonder why she didn't work out at all. "Starfire does… heck, she's pretty much stronger than Cyborg, so why can't I".
"You know, you two get along all well, but…" Beast Boy and Raven stop their argument and turned their heads towards the metal man leaning on the doorway. "…you to fight so much…" Cyborg narrowed his eye at the two in front of him, and put on a big grin. "… it's like your married!" Cyborg laughed at the two embarrassed teens in front of him (Cyborg laughing so hard he didn't realize that they were actually embarrassed) "Oh man there a scary thought, HA HA!"
Raven tried to remain cool but Cyborg's 'joke made her heart skip. "Not funny…"
"Ya dude, gross!" Beast Boy glanced over at the slightly hurt violet haired woman beside him and gave her one of his trade mark grins. Raven took this as a hint that he just lied through his teeth.
Raven smiled and took this as a opportunity to have a bit of fun. "Please this is Beast Boy were talking about, not exactly my type, now huh?"
"Whatever you two, see ya at lunch". With that, Cyborg turned and closed the door behind him.
Beast Boy narrowed his eyes at Raven, and gave her a pout. "Oh… that hurt"
"Hey, 'Ya dude, gross'?" Raven crossed her arms, and gave Beast Boy a death glare.
Beast Boy cowered under her glare as she walked closer ever so slowly. "He, he , he… sorry"
Raven walked right up to beast boy and uncrossed her arms. "Even though it's not obviously clear, you are my type" Raven though her arms around beast boy neck and pressed her lips to his in a passionate kiss.
As Raven drew away from her 'heavenly embrace' Beast Boy asked a question. "So… you, wanna go to your room, and talk a bit before lunch?"
Raven let go of Beast Boy and made a fist. "You know you're right, I've never really worked out in my life, it was always mental practice. My brother did put me through harsh training, but it was all mental and endurance. So I'm going to go down to the gym and… well, 'work out', ok?"
Beast Boy slightly nodded his head. "Yeah, alright… hey you don't wanna be scrawny the rest of your life? Do ya?" Beast Boy put on his grin and looked at the slightly annoyed telepath in front of him. After a second Beast Boy's Grin disappeared and a sign of confusion appeared. "Wait a sec… you have a brother?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, so?" Raven shrugged her shoulders.
"You never mentioned family" Beast Boy started to walk towards the Door and Raven headed off with him.
"O sorry… I also have a little sister and a uncle, both from my mothers side"
"Why do I feel like there is gonna be a whole lot to talk about later?"
"Yeah I guess so… Garfield" with a smirk Raven turned the knob of the door
Beast Boy's face narrowed. "Why do you think I use the Name Beast Boy Instead?"
And with that the two teens walked down the stairs into the tower.
I hoped you like this one. Sorry about the time delay but I kinda got a writer's block but it's gone now. Also sorry this chapter is a bit shorter than my last two, but the next one was originally planed to be this one extended, but I figured it would be to long, anyways look forward to a nice long one (not to long I hope). Also as I side note you may have noticed I stopped doing Beast boy and started doing Beast Boy, reason for this is I checked the official website and saw that that was how it is written. So Stories to be told and a trip to the beach (and possible more he he) on BEAST BOY'S SUFFERING!Ya!
