Everybody's Fool
Summary: Raven's thoughts after discovering Terra has betrayed them. Told from her POV to Evanescence's 'Everybody's Fool'. Lyrics BOLD.
"They were wrong to trust her so easily, especially Beast Boy," I thought.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
I admit it; I trusted her too. But never was she really one of us. Never.
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled
As much as I disliked Terra, I felt sorry for Beast Boy. It was plain to see the boy had it bad for her, even after what she did. I can't stand to see my friends in pain.
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
I wanted to rip her apart for breaking his heart like that. She just threw everything in his face. She's a rotten hypocrite, that's what she is. She and Slade deserve each other.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
She used us, and for what? To betray us to someone who has only caused grief and agonizing pain. What was wrong with her? Beast Boy claimed to know exactly how messed up Terra really was. Something must be really screwed up with her life. I know I was harder on her than the others, but…
Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
I didn't believe she could suddenly be so skilled. Not without help. That should have been our first clue. Why didn't it occur to us that someone else was behind her new skills? I tried to be nice to her, I really did. And what did she do?
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you any more
She just threw it in my face. Like, "Here Raven, this is the truth- I hate you and your stupid friends!"
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
"Beast Boy?" I called softly.
Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
No answer.
I tried again.
"Are you all right?"
The door slid open. He'd tried to hide the fact that he'd been crying but his eyes were still red.
"No, but I will be."
I nodded and turned to go. He stopped me by putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Raven? Thanks."
"Anything for a friend."
Hope you enjoyed! As always, review please!
