Yay, some reviews! I was so sad today that I didn't get one, so I stopped writing this for a bit... And I came back, and three were there! Woohoo!
darkaurora333- Eyeshadow? You make me laugh hard everytime you review. I hardly laugh at anything, so you can definitely accomplish something. Sorry about the Trebbles, it kinda got hard to write... I think you're still on the chair of honor, from the last time I've checked :)
CrazyDeafGirl- Truthfully I was going to make Sarah's eyes blue, but I thought it would sound like Terra. So I made them brown (My brother's color, interestingly enough) I read chapter 24 and reviewed, you'll probably get it later... Or now even, depends on what feels like doing. I have a feeling we could be internet friends here... ;)
mew-xena- The answer will be in this chapter, and it's going to be pretty simple to find out...
Yes, Star/Rob are definitely a pair, but I'm not entirely sure about BB/Raven, but BB can flirt with her all he wants (lol) Now here's the next chappy, enjoy. (Warning: Love is in the Air! Oh no! lol)
Chapter 4: Safe.. For Now
It had been a few hours after the dilemma, and Raven rested in one of the few infirmary beds in the heart of the tower. Beast Boy had placed himself on a seat nearby the floating telepath, ensuring her health would be okay. Beast Boy had always been in love with her, but his fear of being rejected was so great he never even tried to ask her out. Robin hadn't asked Starfire out yet, but due to his recent action, Beast Boy even doubted he had to. They had come back shortly after the three titans arrival, Star blushing and Robin aggitated that the team didn't try to stop him. Not that he could blame them...
Everyone knew Beast Boy loved Raven, except the dark titan herself. It wasn't that obvious until the past few hours, when he spoke soothing words to her though she couldn't even hear them. Deep in his thoughts, Beast Boy didn't even notice someone enter the room.
"Beast Boy... I think you should go to bed, she'll be here in the morning." Robin said, walking towards his green skinned friend. Beast Boy didn't even turn to look at the boy wonder, his eyes were focused on their patient.
"I want to be here, Robin. To make sure she'll be okay." He responded, quietly. Robin knew BB blamed himself for the swift accident, lovers always do. He rested a reassuring green glove on Beast Boy's slumped shoulder. (He's reassuring everyone lately, isn't he?) Beast Boy was about to obey Robin's last order, when Raven started to twitch. Her face scrunched up in pain, feeling the damage dealt from earlier. Raven gave a quick gasp and bolted upwards, using her hand to cover her face. The boys just gaped at her sudden recovery.
"Ugh... Where am I?" Raven whispered, her gaze at the two unfocused.
"You're in the tower," Robin started, but was cut off by Beast Boy.
"Raven... Are you okay?" His concerned voice caught her attention. The haze cleared up and Raven stared at two depressed boys. As soon as she gave a small smile, however, both lightened up.
"I'm fine." was her short answer. She made a move to get up but her legs refused to respond. She gave them a glare of defiance.
"Need help Rae?" Beast Boy asked, offering out his hand. Raven accepted it, and he pulled her up gently. Beast Boy took her weight and helped walk her out the room, heading to the main room with her. Robin had long been forgotten, as he had mysteriously disappeared...
After a Long labor of getting Raven to the Main Room...
Beast Boy set Raven down on the couch, in the place she always sat. He smiled and walked over to the counters behind the sofa, and began to whistle a cheerful tune. Beast Boy looked at one of the shelves, and smiled. Good old Robin to do something like that for him! Beast Boy grabbed the steaming cup and walked over with it to Raven, and lowered it down to her. Raven's face was covered in a mask of surprise. Why was he being so kind to her? She then remembered what he had said earlier, and gave another small smile. She may actually consider him, but not yet. Raven gave a soft blow at the hot liquid and took a sip. Pleasurable tastes filled up her mouth, and she sipped more. Herbal tea was always a good thing.
"Thank you, Beast Boy," Raven whispered, giving him a soft glare. Her gratitude towards him gave Beast Boy the butterflies. He merely nodded and went to get himself something to drink, and sat down beside her with a glass of juice. They sat together in silence for awhile, enjoying the silence, but also nervous of what to say to the other. Beast Boy opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. Raven noticed the hesitation in his eyes. What could be bothering him that much? Raven finally understood.
"Yes, Beast Boy." She answered the unspoken question. Beast Boy looked at her.
"You mean it?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief. Raven nodded positive. He burst out into a wide grin, knowing that he had just gotten himself a girlfriend.
"Beast Boy?" Raven asked quietly.
"Yes, Raven?" Beast Boy replied.
"Could you help me to my room? I can't really get there on my own..." she whispered. Beast Boy did the manly thing and scooped her into his arms. She held onto his neck. Beast Boy was shocked how affectionate she could really be when she wanted to be. He repeated the steps of what Robin had done the day before, and gave her a small goodnight kiss. It was just a small peck on the cheek, but to the two of them, it was much more than that.
"Thank you... Beast Boy..." Raven murmured. Beast Boy blushed and began to walk out of the room.
"Goodnight Rae, see you later." He said, stepping through the hole where the door had opened.
"Goodnight... Beast Boy." She replied, and fell into a deep sleep. Beast Boy gave a small whoop in his head and watched the automatic doors close. His own imaginary cheerleader team yelled,
"Go Beast Boy! Go Beast Boy! Yay!" As he did a jig. After a few minutes of celebration exhaustion struck him like a stone and he decided it was time to sleep. It was easy enough to say he had a very good night.
A Few Hours Later...
Robin sighed, leaning back on his chair, staring at the blinding screen before him. He selected all bookmarks and brought them up, rereading the information over and over again. Raven would be safe inside the tower, as George didn't know she survived. Or did he? Robin looked at George's records again, and frowned. Something wasn't right here, he just couldn't figure out what. He was about to shut down his computer when a few soft knocks bounced off his door. He rushed to get it, and allowed it to open automaticly. He smiled at the person at the other side.
"Oh, Friend Robin! I have many things I wish to discuss! I am so worried of friend Raven! I am..." Starfire ranted on, until Robin put a finger to her lips.
"Starfire... Will you go out with me?" He asked, his voice almost shaking... a bit. Starfire flushed instantly at his question.
"I accept your asking, Friend Robin." Starfire answered, and gave him another hug. Both were perfectly content on how their relationship was turning out, and was definitely sure it wasn't going to end anytime soon. Robin was about to ask Starfire to let go as he couldn't breathe, as she was squeezing too hard, but it wasn't required. The alarm went off, startling the red head who grabbed Robin by the wrist and flew off towards the main room.
In The Main Room...
Starfire aimed at the big doors at full speed, expecting it to open automaticly. But today just wasn't her day, and just in time she thrust a wide-eyed Robin in front of her. He took full impact upon hitting the door. His figure outlined a huge dent on the frame, revealing his plain look of terror. As Robin fell to the ground, Starfire apologizing constantly, the doors slowly slid open and revealed a blushing Cyborg.
"Heheheh, Sorry guys. I was making some proper adjustments, and didn't get it on time." Cyborg tensed up, as he knew Robin would probably blow off his rocker because of that. However, Robin just shook it off and gave a terrified look at Starfire, who was smiling innocently. Cyborg raised his eyebrow.
"Don't ask." Robin said grumpily, and headed back to the computer console where the screen was flashing red. Raven and Beast Boy were already there, just watching in stunned amusement at Robin's and Starfire's actions towards each other. They both had heard the loud crash of the impact, and saw Robin make the large imprint on the door. Beast Boy wouldn't admit that he had laughed his head off. Raven just gave a rare chuckle at the scene. Robin pressed a button, and the latest villain's information came up on screen.
"Just Johnny Rancid being the normal jerk he is..." Robin sighed. The titans looked at Raven, and she returned the stares.
"Raven, you must sit out these next few fights. You need to rest, and we don't want George to know yet that he had failed." Cyborg told her. Raven made no move to argue with those orders, her stomach had been in pain and she intended to rest in the first place. The titans rushed out the door, and Beast Boy gave her a cheerful wave before departing. Raven closed her eyes, and imagined a fight against Johnny Rancid. He was an easy opponent. Raven saw her latest book on the far counter and summoned it with her energy. Gradually she began to read.
