Guilt. That is all Beast Boy felt. One thing that he could not deny, though he seemed to be doing well at denying things that were tearing him apart, from the inside out. He side stepped over a boulder, and stole a look at Raven.

Did she even realize the life threatening danger she was in now? He didn't know, nor did he wish to think about it, but a nagging feeling told him that she wouldn't be safe, no matter where he took her.

They had been moving for over three hours, and Beast Boy guessed it was nearing five o'clock in the morning, though it was still dark. They had drifted left of Grotone, and was now headed down a long unkempt road that led to Corrife, the place he was taking Raven.

Rocks were upturned everywhere, and trees hovered on both sides of the woods.
He had a strange feeling they were being watched, but shook it off.

Tiring out from walking, Beast Boy levitated, and motioned for Raven to do the same.

Raven rose off the ground, and kept a steady pace beside Beast Boy. There was no talking. Only silence. Neither of them wanted to admit to the seriousness of the situation, but neither of them could deny it either. There was barrier Beast Boy didn't want to cross when it came to talking about what had happened to him.

Raven kept her mouth shut. She wasn't about to try to ask him what had happened to him again. She had already tried to read his mind, and look where that had gotten her.
She gingerly lifted her hand, and touched below her ear. Something wasn't right about this cut. It wasn't a normal cut. It felt.. different.

She slowly traced down her jaw to her chin where it ended. It definitely was in the shape of something. As soon as she had a chance to see her reflection, she would try to find out what.

She sighed. All she understood about the whole thing, was the scars on his chest. Nothing else made sense to her.

She hadn't exactly read much about the Veihn, but now she wished she had. Those scars looked exactly like the scrolls displayed in the forbidden book. She knew he now had great power, but she didn't fully understand it.

She didn't understand the girl either, and why hadn't she seen him morph this whole time? Was it possible that he had been forced into the Veihn? Raven lowered to the ground and resumed walking.. Her thoughts again consumed her.. She didn't even know what she was running from. What Beast Boy was running from. But something inside of her told her, she would find out.

"Forty-five" said Cyborg, aiming his laser towards the top of a building, where one of the robed creatures was breaking into a building through the window.

Fire was everywhere
People were screaming. Apartments and a few large buildings were destroyed.

Chaos had ensued, and when they had left to recuperate, the creatures had started lighting buildings on fire.

Immediately on arrival, they had jumped back into the fight, with another fighter, Speedy, but the fight was starting to get deadly. No matter how many of the creatures were taken down, dozens more reappeared.

Robin was surrounded by them on every side, they were slowly closing in around him.

Backing up in a circle, Robin let out a yell, and kicked through the air, connecting with one of the creatures. Flipping backwards, and directing another spin kick towards a creature behind him, Robin connected again.

Quickly finishing the job,
He squinted into the flames, and looked around
The fire was starting to get stronger. Where was Starfire? She had to be around here somewhere.

Looking up into the flames he saw her. She had a firm hold on two young girls hands, and was flying them to safety. He stopped momentarily to watch her. Her determined face. Her amazing strength. He couldn't believe he had actually married this beautiful girl from Tameran. He remembered how shy he had been about admitting it.

Snapping back to the present he turned. Where had Cyborg gone? Then he spotted him. He was using his laser to take out some of the creatures that were attempting to light another building on fire, but they just kept coming.

Robin looked around in confusion. Where were they coming from?
"ROBIN!" Came the shout from the skies. Bee landed beside him. "Get Cyborg over here, we need Aqualad, and we need him now!" Robin nodded. "Cyborg!" Soon the half robot was running towards him, Speedy was behind him, "I will hold them off!" He shouted, shooting arrows at the creatures that were trying to follow. "Aqualad." One word was all he needed. Cyborg was instantly using his built in Image Projectile to connect to the Tower. Aqualad appeared on the screen. "We need you down here now." Aqualad started to respond, but the screen started to disconnect, and then went black.

"Did he hear you Cyborg?" Asked Robin anxiously. "I think he got the message, but the connection broke off before he could respond." There was a pause of silence, a sort of 'What do we do now?' feeling lingered. Then they heard Starfire gasping for breath in the air above them. "Friends, I could use a little help here!"

Raven shuddered. Every step she took, the cut on her face seemed to be weighing her down in an odd way. It was all she could feel. Taking another step forwards, her knees refused to hold her any longer, and she crumpled to the ground. Beast Boy was almost instantly beside her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, with real concern.

"The cut.." She said, struggling to get up, but failing.

A worried look came over his face, and he tipped up her chin.

No doubt about it.

The cut was deeper.

Beast Boy clenched his jaw. He knew what he had to do. As much as he hated using this power, he knew he had to for her sake, even if every time he used it on someone else, it hurt him. He placed his index and middle finger in he center of the cut, and closed his eyes.

Power went out of him. He felt it. Weakening, he pulled back his fingers. The cut was gone. All that was left was a small scar. Pulling back he stood up.

Raven reached up to touched her jaw where the cut had been.

It was gone.

She looked at Beast Boy in disbelief.

She hadn't been able to heal herself from this, and he had just healed it almost instantaneously.

Turning around she got to her feet. She was no longer tired. She turned to Beast Boy to voice her gratitude, and then stopped. He looked different. Weaker? She couldn't put a finger on it, but she sensed something was wrong.

Several minutes of walking later, he turned to her. "We are almost there Raven. Let's pick up the pace." Without waiting for her to answer, he levitated, and she did the same.

Broken

Bleeding

Your destiny lies in his hands.
