Many thanks for all your reviews! Very inspiring! I greatly appreciate it! And now for chapter 2!
Okay, now just to let you people know about this chapter, I have actually taken the liberty to do some research. I actually carried a notebook around and took notes and examined married couples and how they act. Since I'm single and not married, I had to go on something. And I re-watched all the Beast Boy and Raven episodes and tried to make it fit so they don't get too OOC. But let's do some math
Ten years + marriage + hormones OOCness.
So, as you can very well see from my very obvious Property of OOCness. I tried my best to make them as close to their original personality as I possible could. So, this is why this chapter is quite…fluffy. And it's the fact that I like fluff, so sue me. Plus, there's a reason behind the fluff that will be revealed later on in the story, so I'm going to stop spoiling stuff for you and you guys can now read!
Disclaimer: Must I put this on every chapter? Meh, who cares. I don't own the Teen Titans, but I actually do own Dr. Garvitz character, that was my own original design based off of the villain Warp from the episode "How Long Is Forever?" Man, I love that episode…:sighs:
I'm such a sucker for time travel. P
Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Our slice of paradise
The sun was rising over the horizon, greeting the citizens of Jump City in their time of waking. Sunlight gleamed onto the blue sea, and reflected into the windows of a particular building that stood on a small rocky island. This tower was in the shape of a large "T" and it housed five of Jump city's extraordinary people.
The light started creeping up higher into the tower and pouring into a certain window on the side. It grew brighter and brighter letting its golden hue coat the entire dark room that was on the other side of the window. The room was a bedroom, and the light then shined onto two lovers sleeping soundly in each others arms. The bright lights began to distract them and one began to wake. He opened his eyes to stare out into the morning sun, and then returned to kiss her tenderly on the forehead to wake her up.
"Raven?" he whispered sleepily. He began to massage her back with his hand, for she slept comfortably on top of him with her arm lying on his front and her head pillowed against his shoulder.
"Raven?" he called out again a little louder, but still no more then a whisper. She inhaled deeply at the sound of his voice and tightened her grip around him.
"Raven, c'mon it's morning," he said in a more normal tone. She nuzzled against his shoulder.
"Just a few more minutes," she said sleepily. He started to chuckle at her words.
"A few more minutes? I thought I was the one that usually asks for more time," he replied. She smiled at his comment, but still kept her eyes closed. A minute of silence passed, and then Garfield began to sit up.
"C'mon Raven, I'll make you breakfast," he said, kissing her forehead one more time. He sat up and stretched his arms at full length. He relaxed and motioned towards the edge of the bed, but suddenly something caught him off guard; something was holding him back or rather a someone.
"Not so fast," teased Raven. She had her arms around his shoulders and he gasped when she rapidly jerked him back down on his back onto the sheets again. She leaned up against him and looked directly into his eyes.
"When I say we need a few more minutes, then we need a few more minutes," she said. He smirked, she inched closer to his lips and finally kissed him. He put his arms around her as she pressed her body closer to him making the moment more passionate. He smiled as he felt her force against him.
"Well, someone's in a good mood this morning," he muttered. She smiled at him then pressed little more against him. He moaned in satisfaction and began to run a hand threw her silk violet hair.
"Are you trying to talk me out of making breakfast this morning?" he asked with a mischievous grin. She stopped only an inch away from his face.
"Looks like you caught me," she amusingly sighed. He began to chuckle slightly, "I can't seem to keep anything from you, can I?"
"I think by now, I would know my own wife," he said placing a finger under her chin and giving her a soft kiss. She returned a favor. She gently rested her head against his chest and looked out into the morning view from outside, he turned to watch the amazing view with her.
"You do so much for me already, Gar," she said, "you don't have to spoil me,"
He turned to her, then a sudden grin crossed his lips.
"Oh, I'll spoil you," he said. Suddenly rolling her underneath him, she started to giggle, "I'll spoil you until your skin turns green," he said. He bent down and kissed her on the lips. She laughed internally at his silly pun. She loved him for making her laugh, even though she never showed it often. During the hard times, it seemed he would always make the serious situation easier to go through by looking to the brighter side with his silly comments, and she would always smile for it. He loved her smile, that's why he would always try to bring her out, that's why he would always make these teasing jokes no matter how corny it was, at least he would try. She loved him for making her smile because it would always be easier to express herself the way she wanted to, and be able to show off her true internal beauty and she loved him for it. Oh, how she loved him for it! She never wanted him to stop. As long as she kept smiling, he never will.
"So, obviously, you are rotten to the core," Raven joked. He realized she was commenting on his green skin and he laughed.
"You know it," he replied stroking the side of her cheek, "So, breakfast?"
Raven thought about it. There's no point in getting him out of it now, she thought.
"Alright," she simply stated. He grinned and kissed her one more time.
"So, you want the gourmet breakfast buffet? Or breakfast in bed? Or a gourmet breakfast buffet in bed?" he asked teasing her. She rolled her eyes in his amusement.
"Okay, lover boy, there is a limit," she said pushing him off of her to the side, she sat up and push the covers off of her.
"Oho, lover boy, huh?" he teased. He tugged on her wrist when she to reach the side of the bed. He pulled her quickly to him, making her turn in surprise and face him to which their noses were touching,
"I like the sound of that,"
She started to laugh again.
………………………………
Upstairs in the main frame of the Titans Tower, the other three Titans were already up and awake. Cyborg had entered the room while Robin and Starfire had made breakfast for themselves. Robin was definitely different nowadays. He still wore his same uniform and kept his same mask, but his physical appearance changed. He was about the same height as Starfire, and he allowed his hair to grow a little more. It wasn't in that same spiked hairdo that he would style with bottle after bottle of hair gel. Starfire seemed to be getting more radiant and beautiful each day, in Robin's view. Her hair grew a little more as well, and it was still the same rich red auburn color. Her uniform stayed the same, it's how she was recognized, and it was a Tameranian fashion statement. They sat down and Robin had just kissed Starfire's cheek and she blushed.
"Thanks for breakfast, Star, it looks fantastic," said Robin.
"Mornin' ya'll," yawned Cyborg, he went straight for the refrigerator to treat himself to some food.
"Morning, Cyborg," said Robin.
"Good morning, Cyborg," said a perky Starfire, "you have slept well?"
"Like a log," he said. He started rummaging through the refrigerator pushing aside all the tofu that sat in front.
"Hey, have you two seen BB and Rae yet? Aha," asked Cyborg. Cyborg knew that Garfield had changed his codename and preferred to be called either Garfield or Gar, but some old habits are hard to break, and Garfield didn't mind a bit as long as he knew his real name. He finally found what he was looking for, a traditional foot long ham and beef jerky sandwich.
"They're probably still in their room," replied Robin.
"Yes, I do believe they are the last ones to usually awaken," said Starfire. Cyborg nodded and sat down at the table. He placed his one foot sub on a plate and started to chow down.
"They've been like this for awhile, haven't they? I remember how Raven was usually the first one up," he said taking a bite of his one foot sub, "it was like a routine for her get up, make tea, and read,"
"Yea, and Gar would always be the last one to wake," said Robin, "and I remember how he used to always try and get her to taste his tofu,"
"Heh, oh yea," laughed Cyborg between bites, "and now that's all she has for breakfast, looks like BB won that battle," Cyborg laughed again and Robin laughed right along with him, "But seriously, have you guys noticed that? I mean, every morning they get up and one of 'em would make breakfast for each other and it's always the same thing every mornin', tofu eggs and herbal tea,"
They all realized that this was true, and started to chuckle.
"You know, probably about ten years ago you wouldn't really think that those two would end up where they are now, totally head over hills in love with each other. But now, you look back on those days and you could definitely tell that their was chemistry between them,"
"Kinda like how you and Star were just oozing chemicals, right?" smirked Cyborg. Robin growled at him in a good natural way, he knew he was joking, but he knew it was the truth too.
"I guess it's true when they say 'opposites attract,'" stated Robin, Cyborg nodded in agreement. He took another big bite and Robin had slipped a hand into Starfire's.
"And they've been together for…how long? Four, five years?" asked Cyborg.
"They got married two years after we did, so…they've been together for a solid five years,"
"And they're still goin' on strong," The all smiled widely at Cyborg's last comment. It was true, ever since Raven had been freed from her destiny, Garfield had taken the opportunity to show the world to her and helped her how to express her feelings. The two shared more in common then they both realized. Both had tragic pasts especially with their parents, and both have been betrayed and burned by people they thought they loved. And this is where it all began. Garfield was there to comfort Raven in her time of despair and loneliness. Raven was there to comfort him in his time of regret and guilt. And the two have never left each others side, they went through everything together through thick and thin. It went from best friends to simply boyfriend and girlfriend to, once Raven was ready, a spiritually intertwined couple, both Garfield and Raven were very happy together, nothing could tear them apart.
Even though Raven was not all up for this new experience, Gar still found a way to her heart and taught her how to open it up and it was a great feeling for her. She felt that she owed him everything, her world, her life, her love, and she would do anything to pay him back, but it still wasn't enough for her, and she hoped it will never be enough. She had the rest of her life ahead of her to spend it all with him and that was plenty of time. And the Titans have noticed all of this and it was a great feeling to see someone who has had such a troubled past, like Raven's and Gar's for that matter, find true happiness within each other. The three Titans had finished talking when the two entered the room with their arms around each other.
"Mornin', you two," said Cyborg with a mouth full of jerky.
"Hey, Cy," said Gar, "Rob, Star,"
"Oh, good morning, Garfield and Raven," said Starfire cheerfully.
"Morning, Garfield," said Robin, "You and Raven sleep well?"
"Eh…okay, Raven here kept on hogging all the covers--," he joked, but he was cut off by Raven elbowing him in the side playfully. The rest of the team laughed.
"Don't start," she said, he chuckled, "why don't you go ahead and make breakfast, Sir Snores-a-lot?"
"Oh, burn," joked Cyborg. Robin and Starfire laughed. Garfield threw Raven a look, but congratulated her for the comeback by kissing her cheek before letting her go to the table. He went over to the kitchen to make their breakfast. Conversations began to start up again. Robin and Starfire were in their own little world and Cyborg had started talking to Raven about the T-car, while Beast Boy continued his cooking. He placed everything on two plates, while Raven eventually got up to help him with the tea. They both headed for the table and Garfield sat down next to Raven placing their breakfast on the table. Cyborg took a glance at their meal and turned to Robin to whisper in his ear.
"What did I tell ya?" he whispered. Robin glanced slightly to get a look, he silently laughed, "tofu and herbal tea," Starfire heard him and she also looked down the table to examine Garfield and Raven. They were in their own conversation as they began to eat, Starfire began to giggle. Garfield and Raven looked up from their own conversation at Starfire's giggling.
"What're you three whispering about?" Gar asked. Cyborg sat up quickly from leaning close to Robin and Starfire.
"Nothing," he said, quickly taking a bit of his sub to shut himself up.
"This better not be about another early morning combat practice," commented Raven. Robin turned away from Starfire to glance down the table.
"No, not really, but that's an excellent idea, Raven," Robin smirked, the team groaned. Cyborg wanted to change this subject fast before Robin got anymore ideas. Robin and Starfire returned to their own conversation, instead. Robin was only kidding, it's not like he was the only one who didn't want to exercise early in the morning. Cyborg started watching Garfield and Raven eat their breakfast.
"Man, you two are really something, ya know that?" he said changing the subject. Garfield and Raven looked at him with raised eye brows in curiosity.
"What?" they said in unison. Cyborg smirked again.
"I remember you guys wouldn't touch each others food, now it seems like that's all you two eat," he said. Robin and Starfire just listened with interest. Garfield and Raven looked back at each other and then Raven turned to Cyborg to speak.
"Well, tofu tastes almost exactly the same as the actual thing," said Raven, she glanced to the side at Gar, "and it is full of protein,"
"Yeah," replied Garfield, "and herbal tea," he held up his mug of tea, "is definitely a good thing to have in the morning, it's all…steamy," Cyborg grunted in amusement. Raven gave him a stern look.
"Steamy?" she remarked, "Is that the best you can come up with?"
"No…no," he said looking back at Raven, giving her a apologetic smile, "herbal tea is very soothing too, and it's just so…smooth," she listen intently to his words, she knew what he was doing, "just like being at the ocean under the moon, that sort of smooth, and it also has a very complex taste, with all it's…herbs and tea," he continued on, "it has a variety of good flavors all hidden within that dark liquid. Once you stir it up you can see all those good flavors inside, which gives you an awesome taste. You could call it a…mystery drink,"
"And tofu," she interrupted him, "is just funny in its own way, because you can cook it in so many different ways, that it will have a exciting taste every time, but no matter how you prepare it, it will always be good for you," they both exchanged side glances and small smiles.
"Ugh, alright, enough flirtin' you two," said Cyborg. Robin and Starfire both laughed slightly and got up to put away their plates. Garfield and Raven shared a small kiss. Cyborg rolled his eyes and finished his sandwich and left Garfield and Raven to finish up their breakfast.
"Alright, y'all, if anybody need me I'll be headin' East," he said walking towards the door.
"Wait a minute, you groan at use for flirting and now you're gonna go see Bumble Bee to flirt with her?" said Garfield turning around in his seat. Cyborg had been seeing Bumble Bee for the past few years now, he had an infatuation with every since he went undercover at the H.I.V.E. Now it grew into a relationship, but because she was the leader of Titans East is was difficult for them to meet up, but they would still try and find time to meet together. Cyborg rolled his eyes; he couldn't come up with anything clever to say back, he really wanted to leave.
"Yep," he simply said.
"We've got afternoon combat practice in a few hours, so be back before then," said Robin. Cyborg nodded and opened the door.
"Hey, why don't you do us all a favor and propose already!" Garfield yelled from behind. Raven rolled her eyes.
"I'll be back for you, salad head," Cyborg's voice echoed through the hall before the doors hissed shut.
……………………….
Later that afternoon, as the sun was setting across the bay, citizens were heading home from their long day of business. Traffic was backed up, as angry drivers shouted at the car in front of them to move. Something was happening at the intersection, a few what looked like frozen cars blocked the road. Then a black warp started to form in the middle of the intersection.
"What is that!"
"What's goin' on!"
"Hey! Keep movin', c'mon! What's the hold up!"
A chrome boot had made contact with the hot asphalt underneath. Then, a figure started to climb out of the black hole.
"What the-?"
"Who's that?"
The figure wore some kind of chrome armor, and a round circular object glowed brightly on his chest as he turned to face the shouting people.
"Hey! Move it, buddy! Some of us have lives to run!"
"I do not have time for this," said Dr. Garvitz. He waved a quick hand in the air and a sudden wave of energy blew over the entire intersection, freeze framing the entire scene. He looked at his surroundings and smirked at his accomplishment. He turned up further up the road to where the ocean shored. The Titans Tower was in perfect view between the valleys of large executive buildings.
"You shall meet your end soon enough, Titans, very soon, but first," he turned around the other road that lead to the Metro Arts Technologies Museum, "I need to pick up a special clock of mine," he walked off in the opposite direction.
………………………
It was late in the evening, the sun had touched the horizon line over the ocean, and it would be nightfall very soon. Raven was standing on the roof of the tower with her arms crossed, watching the setting sun. A gentle breeze rushed by ruffling the tips of her hair and cloak; her hair was now at shoulder length, it was long enough to a point where she could pull it back to see the features of her face, that is, if she wanted to. She preferred to have her hair down, that was her style. On special occasions, she would pull it back to try and impress her husband. She always enjoyed catching him off guard with the little things, and he loved every little thing she did, it was like magic. Her uniform didn't change after ten years of being on the team. She still wore her famous blue cloak and black leotard. Crime was always on the run and it kept the Titans busy so a change in uniform wasn't necessary. Plus, it was easier for her to move faster in what she already wears, since she was use to it. What was the point of wearing a dress in battle? Possibly, the only difference in the way she dressed was her wedding band she wore on her left hand.
It was almost dusk, the sun began to sink lower and lower giving the sky a bright yellow hue that reflected into the sea. She enjoyed this time of day. It was as if the world seemed to stop, and everything was at peace, no crime, no missions, just the sound of the ocean waters and a beautiful golden light that looked like it would shine forever.
She stood there on the roof admiring the view, breathing in the fresh air from the ocean's tide. But it seemed that she was waiting for someone, someone very important. A small wave of concern took over her; she was hoping that he didn't forget to meet her. But that concern started to melt away when she felt that certain someone from behind place an arm around her waist and another across her shoulders, pulling her into a sweet embrace.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Garfield whispered into her ear. Raven relaxed into his arms. Garfield had changes in his physique as well. He was definitely taller, taller then he was ten years ago. Tall enough to where he was at least one inch taller then Raven. He had more muscle, with ten years of crime fighting and combat practice; it was no surprise that his muscles did develop. Raven couldn't help but be attracted to it. The power within his arms, it was comforting to know that he could always protect her. His face changed a bit, he grew a bit mature over the years, but his innocent boyish charm that Raven had fallen in love with still shined through his emerald eyes. His jade hair grew in length too, it was still thick, smooth, and it still held its spiked style. Raven could run a hand through it and it would still bounce back into place. Unlike Raven, Garfield did change in uniform; he had a new codename, so he figured it would be good to change his outward appearance a bit. His uniform was now a short sleeved black jump suit with tough dark purple boots instead of his usual sneakers. It was still the same colors, black and purple, but just a different style.
Gar rested his head onto her shoulder, and they both looked forward watching the sun pass over the ocean.
"I was thinking you had forgotten," said Raven.
"Me? Forget this? Never," he said kissing her cheek, "we do this everyday, it's like a habit, you know? So addicting that it becomes instinct,"
Raven began to laugh softly. He smiled.
"What?" he said almost laughing himself.
"Where did you get all this intelligence from? Have you been going through my books again?" Raven turned around in his arms to face him, she kept her hands on his front.
"Mmm…maybe," he said, "then again, we have been together for quite awhile, probably some of your smarts rubbed off on me,"
Raven smiled placing a small kiss on his lips and looking back into his eyes. Garfiled smiled back rubbing his forehead against hers.
"So, you ready?" he asked.
"Yes, I need to relax my mind," she said, "hold on," She gripped the side of her cloak and threw it over their heads as it began to glow her famous black aura. The aura took the form of a raven and flew off to the outskirts of town. It flew over buildings, roads, and cars as it began to pick up speed. The sky turned into a rich violet for the sun could no longer be seen. The raven began to slow as it neared a large wooded area. It cut through the trees with ease, passing through the leaves and vines. It finally came to a halt and landed next to a clear river bank in the middle of a small clearing. There were several rocks next to the river with a small rushing waterfall on one end. It was a clear night tonight as the moon began to peak through the rich green trees, and the water from the river glistened in the moon's reflection as it silently flowed on. It was a peaceful sight. The raven landed on a particular boulder next to the rushing water fall and began to take shape of a cloak whipping back into the wind to reveal Garfield and Raven still holding each other. They looked around at their surroundings.
"Nice night, tonight, huh?" said Garfield.
"Very," said Raven. They both sat down on the boulder and listened to the sounds of the night, the crickets chirping, the water rushing, the rustling of leaves in the wind. Raven sighed, she and Gar come to this same place every evening to do her daily meditation and for the past few years, Garfield had accompanied her and had grown accustom to it. This one spot was a great way to be away from it all, the crime fighting, the Tower, and the city noise; it was a way to forget all their troubles and pain in the past. Just being together in this one place was the remedy for any pain. It was like their sanctuary, their paradise, it was here they would run to together after a fight, or after an argument with their determined leader. Sometimes they would stay here for hours, talking about their days together, sharing secrets of their past, and they would only leave if it was too late or they had a call. Raven sighed once more and leaned in to her husband's embrace. Garfield wrapped his arms around her and cradled her slightly.
"You know, this place seems to never change," said Garfield looking around, "it always seems to hold its natural colors every time we come here,"
"It's been ten years, but it still feels like we just found it yesterday," said Raven. He nodded in agreement. The moon was at the right angle to where it reflected on to the water and made the night air sparkle. They took a moment of silence holding each other and looking around at this pretty sight. It felt like something out of a Robert Frost poem, if you could describe it. So peaceful, yet it felt like it had a deep meaning behind in the shadows of the trees. Neither Garfield nor Raven could quite put their finger on it, but they felt more connected here.
"Gar, what do you think keeps us coming here everyday?" she asked him softly. Tough question, he had to think about this, there was so much that he couldn't possibly know, but he knew it was something.
"I don't know, really, it's more of a gut feeling for me. It's something about this place, the quiet, the natural beauty that surrounds us; I can see why we meditated here so much before," he said intertwining his hand into hers, "and there's just something that I feel whenever I'm here with you." he said. She started to smile, "shouldn't you know? After all, you're the one who showed me this place in the beginning," he added, Raven nodded.
"True, and after that, we did have our moments here," she said, Gar smiled.
"Our first kiss," he said.
"Our first meditation together," she said.
"And I think this is where I proposed to you too," he said.
"And this is where I accepted," she said.
"Yea, a year and a half later," he smiled, Raven laughed softly.
"You proposed, I needed time to think about it," she replied.
"But over a year? I was banging my head against the wall a week later," he said. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Thank you for your patience," she said sardonically. He chuckled. Silence fell over them again, they both began to think of their good times they had together. Well, Garfield had given his opinion, now he wanted to know hers.
"So, what do you think keeps us coming here?" He asked her. Raven thought about it. There was so much that he's done for her in the past. He showed her what it's like to have emotion, expression, feelings. He gave her everything she could possibly want and more, she didn't realize that such a feeling existed for one person, especially when that one person was Garfield Logan, the fun-loving, care-free, prankster that was always full of hope and faith, who would have thought that she would fall him? Then, Raven looked down at their hands that held the other, she looked carefully at her wedding band that reminded her of the promise she made to him. It gleamed in the moonlight as Gar started to rub that particular finger with his thumb and played with the ring and she smiled, there could only be one answer.
"Our love," she whispered softly, Beast Boy looked up from their hands at her, his heart had jumped when she spoke, "it's our love that keeps us here, together. There's just something about you that makes me love you the way that I do. You…balance me, you've shown me the world, you have given me what I thought was the impossible. There's a special bond between us, that's just too powerful to break. It's that feeling that I've always dreamed about and I can only find it with you next to me. I guess it is like what you said before, it's a gut feeling that just drives me to say…I love you," she turned around to get a better look of his sweet face, he looked directly into her violet eyes as they began to glitter. He was lost in them, they were so beautiful, "I love you so much, Garfield,"
He smiled when she said his name, he reached behind and place a hand behind her head and pulled her into a deep kiss. She responded by taking his cheeks into her hands to rub them gently and pressing more to his lips.
"I love you, Raven," he muttered against her lips, this only made her deepen the kiss further. She had all this bottled up emotion for him in the past that she had been dying to let loose, and what better way to express how she felt about him then by kissing him in a place where no one knew where they were? They began to move their lips in a more rhythmic motion, pushing Garfield on his back with Raven on top of him. He placed his arms around her pulling her closer. Their kiss lasted for only a few short minutes, but to them, the pleasure lasted forever.
Suddenly, a boulder right next to them began to float in mid air and then exploded next to the two, causing them to break off in surprise and Raven reacted by covering themselves with her powers shielding them from the falling rubble. It must have been a pretty big piece of rock to make all that rubble. The black aura faded and Raven looked back at her husband, she still had her hands on his cheeks and his arms were still around her. Garfield had a small mischievous smirk on his face.
"I'm terribly sorry, miss, but I believe I just gave you a run for your emotions," he said slyly. Raven threw him a look, but then she smiled slightly and began to laugh.
"I believe you did," she said. She leaned in closer and light kissed his lips.
"And I think it's time we meditate," she said quietly in his ear. He smiled once more.
"Alright, lead the way,"
Raven let go of his cheeks and lifted herself off of him to sit right next to him. He waited silently as he watched her levitate off the ground into a lotus position. She looked down at him, watching him as he began to sit Indian style and with her mental abilities she lifted him up right next to her.
Raven extended a hand to him expecting him to take it. Garfield simply looked down at her palm, but instead of taking it into his, he used his fingers to part the middle sections of hers and slipped one finger into each one and gripped her hand tightly. He leaned in close to her.
"Love intertwines," he whispered softly. She gripped his hand tightly in return as he rubbed the back of her palm with his thumb. They closed their eyes simultaneously, and both went into deep thought.
This was their favorite part of their hours with one another, meditating together in their quiet cache away from the world. Their souls would unite as one, their love would be exploited and released into the natural world around them, it would bounce back into them making it stronger. They could feel each others heart beat at the same motion as theirs, it was pure synergy between them and it was a wonderful feeling. It was as if they were connected at the joining of their hands. Just the fact of having them at their side was enough to confirm that they will never be alone. And it eased their minds tremendously and their bond would grow stronger and stronger each day with every hour of meditation. Their hearts would be filled with such a sweet warm sensation every night. But tonight was different, something was amiss. Raven started to breathe heavily, Garfield felt her pain, the pain of fear. It hurt him as much as it did her. Suddenly, Raven's breath gave out and she fell forward opening her eyes in shock. He reacted before she could reach the ground.
"Raven!" Garfield cried out. He moved out of position to break her fall, luckily he did. Raven looked forward, too afraid to move. She looked up at Garfield with a sudden fear that scared him as well.
"Did you feel that too?" she asked him. Gar had sat her back down on the rock.
"Yea, I did. What did it mean?" he asked. Raven looked into his eyes full of concern. She couldn't believe what she just saw, she refused to believe it, but she had to tell him.
"I…had a vision, but it can't be real, it can't, not now," she said her breath still raging. Raven gripped her head to try and calm down.
"What was it?" he asked. Raven looked at him one more time. Garfield could see she was trying to fight back the tears. She had to tell him.
"I saw…us. We were in some kind of room full of clocks and you were…," she couldn't find strength to finish, but Garfield tried to urge her on by taking her hand again trying to comfort her, "dead and I was holding you…trying to wake you, but you wouldn't…you wouldn't…I tried to heal you, but it wouldn't work, you were hit by some laser from…a silver armored man,"
A huge wave of fear took over Gar and he started to breathe deeply too. It couldn't be true, he couldn't die, not here not now. He was about to say some words of comfort, but was cut off by a familiar ring tone. It was their communicator going off, the white T started to glow red, Garfield flipped his open to reveal a small screen showing Robin's face and his voice.
"Titans, trouble at the Metro Arts Technologies Museum," he said. Gar looked back at Raven who still had that same fear in her eyes.
"We're on our way," he said slowly, he flipped the communicator back and placed it on his belt again. Silence was spread through out their surroundings, it even seemed like the water stopped flowing in that moment. Raven wrapped her arms around Garfield, seeming like she was trying to protect him, but clinging on for comfort at the same time. Garfield kissed his wife and took her into a comforting embrace.
"It'll be okay, we'll be fine," he said even though he wasn't for sure. Raven couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she didn't want to lose his love.

Woo! How's that for suspense! D
So, Beast Boy and Raven are off to fight the villain at the Metro Arts Technologies Museum. And will Raven's vision come true? Will Beast Boy actually die? Do the Titans have any idea what they are getting into? Are you really ticked off at the writer for leaving you in suspense?
Well, tough cookies, you're gonna have to wait until the next update.
Here's some responses to some reviews:
Kmutt: That was awesome, u are such a good writer! I really hope u finish this, so far it's really great. Good luck!
Quillmaster14: Thanks for the complement! I plan on finishing this story, but not my other one, I kinda lost the will for that one.
Warprince2000: Cool story! Can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter (update soon Plz)
Quillmaster14: Thanks! You shall see what happens in time! I already know what happens. Heehee. I plan to update at least once a week, three weeks at the latest if I get writer's block or new episodes start to premiere. So, expect more!
TDG3RD: Good start to what looks to be a great story. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Quillmaster14: I've got a good start? Well, that's a first for me. Thanks! Tell me what you think of this chapter too!
Dark-Canuck: Very nice. It's kinda dark which I like, please update soon, me wants more!
Quillmaster14: Oho, if you think chapter one is dark, just wait for the next few, it gets very dark and devastating, I know, I wrote it. ;)
Comrade: It looks good. It's well written and the ideas look well thought out. Good job.
Quillmaster14: Thanks Comrade! I'm glad you'd reviewed! I'm such a sucker for time travel it's about time I did a fic for it. Pay real close attention to the next few chapters and you'll see heavy irony later on. I've got it all planned.
