A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone! -Gives everyone cake-

Regrem Erutaerc: lol I was a bit freaked out when I sawall the reviews. If it makes you feel any better I've decided to screw the changes since I really don't have any room for extra emotions. Not unless I want the story to be a million chaps long.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Oh and by the way, keep in mind that while I don't mind Rae/Rob I prefer BB/Rae.


Enchanted Mind of the Blackbird

Chapter Eight:

Expect the Unexpected

Part One

Raven huffed and puffed the entire ride home back to Titans Tower. Robin looked at Raven briefly wondering what to say before he returned his gaze back on the nearly empty highway. Robin had asked Cyborg if he could drive the T.Car alone with Raven. Cyborg had strict rules about who used his car and was about to object when Robin insisted it was important. Cyborg gave in and got into the big black Navigator with Starfire and the other Titans. So now the ride was half over and still Robin hadn't said one word to Raven. Frankly he was a bit worried that he'd set Raven off. They were lucky that the most she did was scare the crap out of a couple of human criminals.

"Are you... okay?" Robin asked, preparing himself for the worst. Raven didn't say anything, just growled slightly. Robin sighed and took that as a "No, I'm not okay, Robin. Now go fuck yourself." He heard a honking noise and looked out his window to see a grinning Cyborg waving from the front passenger seat of the Navigator. Robin returned the grin and waved back. He looked back on the road ahead of him to find their exit coming up. He pulled into the correct lane and drove off of the highway, his friends close behind.

"Last chance to tell me anything..." Robin offered. They'd be back at Titan's Tower in less than five minutes. Raven growled again and turned towards the passenger window so all Robin could see was her back. Robin shook his head, reminding himself that it wasn't personal.


"Oh! And this was during my fourteenth birthday." Beast Boy said to Anger. He handed her the book he was looking at. She took it and cocked her head to the side and turned to the next page, which was a picture. Beast Boy grinned, and leaned over to look at it. Raven had decided to play a game of "pin the tail on the idiot." In other words, stick the tail on Beast Boy's butt. Though something was weird about the picture. He pulled the book out of Anger's lap and held it closer to get a good look at it. Raven looked like she was laughing in the picture. Beast Boy shook his head. The only time Raven laughed was when Cyborg or Robin made fun of him. He sighed and handed the book back to Anger.

"I'm laughing." Anger said in her deep, angry sounding voice. Beast Boy nodded then shook his head.

"At me, not with me." He said sadly. He was starting to realize that Raven would probably never laugh with him, only at him.

"Are you sure? You only just noticed it now..." Anger said. He looked over at Anger and noticed that her red eyes stopped glowing and resumed to how they should've looked, only there were four instead of two. She was also giving him a look that had no particular emotion to it. It was just a blank look, but it looked more like the Raven he knew. It was an improvement. At least she wasn't plotting his death or anything. Not to his knowledge anyway...


When they Titan's reached the Tower, Raven got out of the car and stormed into the living room. She sat down at the computer system and typed something. Seconds later, Adara appeared on the large plasma T.V. screen. She got up and stormed over to the TV.

"I NEED THAT GOD DAMN MIRROR!" Raven yelled. Adara jumped slightly and frowned.

"I already told you-" Adara started, but Raven cut him off.

"Do you not understand the importance of this? I'm having a harder time controlling my emotions because of Beast Boy. I need that mirror so I don't destroy the Goddamn world." Raven growled. She had sprouted four red glowing eyes again. Adara back away slightly.

"Rae, I'm doing everything I can. " Adara said quietly. Robin could see that Raven's friend was obviously upset with his situation and Robin didn't blame him. He felt sorry that the poor Azarathian was on the receiving end of Raven's anger, but couldn't do much about it. "It takes a while to make the mirror."

Raven glared at Adara for a couple of seconds before storming out of the living room. Robin watched her leave then turned back to the T.V. screen.

"Sorry, she's a little... angry. It's nothing personal-" Robin said apologetically. Adara waved him off.

"It's okay. I'm not taking it to heart. I'll get her the mirror a.s.a.p.," he said. Robin thanked him and they ended the call.


The longer Beast Boy chatted with Anger the more nervous it made Bravery, which was saying a lot. She made her way over to him and suggested that they get going to the door. He waved her off and told her he'd be with her in a minute. She shrugged and walked back to the door.

"That boy's gonna get himself hurt..." She said shaking her head.


Robin walked down the hallway to Rae's room, fighting himself not to run. She needed to calm down or someone was going to get hurt and he'd rather it be him that any of the others. When he came up to her door he didn't even bother knocking, he just walked right in. Raven was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. Robin could already tell this wouldn't end well...
"See? I'm not all bad, and I know that deep down inside neither are you." Beast Boy said, looking at the red-cloaked Raven. He'd been lucky thus far not to be harmed in anyway, and he thought he was pushing it by staying longer than Bravery wanted him too, but he also felt that this needed to be said. Who knows, it may come be a good thing later on.

Anger looked back up at him and it was not a friendly look. Her eyes were glowing again. "But you are and I am." She growled. Beast Boy fought the urge to get up and run far, far away. Maybe he was wrong about her. Maybe she was plotting his death, or to hurt him, or whatever. Either way his welcome had just worn out. He was starting to get up when Anger started speaking again. "I am Raven's anger. I contain every bad feeling she has. Anger, hatred, malice... hate being the strongest. I hate all of you Titans. I hate Robin because he's bossy and obsessive; Starfire because she's just annoying sometimes; Cyborg because he's like a mature version of you; and you! You I hate more than my father!" At this Beast Boy just fell back down on his behind.

"Why?" Beast Boy asked quietly. He was afraid of really setting her off.


Raven and Robin were in the middle of one of the nastiest argument ever to have graced Titan's Tower. Robin wasn't sure how it happened either. One moment he was telling her to calm down, and the next moment they were in a shouting match, seeing who could yell meanest things the loudest.

"Get a grip!" Robin yelled, dodging a particularly large spell book. Raven was floating up above him, levitating four equally large books beside her.

"You get a grip! You're the who always obsesses over Slade!" Raven yelled equally as loud. She threw another book at him that once again, he dodged.

"You're in control of your emotions! Not Beast Boy, so stop letting him take control!" Robin yelled back. He was going to be hoarse the next day, he knew it. He made a mental note to go pick up some ice cream later.

"You just don't understand!" Raven yelled. Robin dodged another book.

"YOU WON'T LET ME!" Robin screamed.


"I hate you because I cannot hate you!" Anger yelled. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow.

"But you just said you hated me 'cus you can't. That counts." Beast Boy pointed out. He admitted that he was relieved that Raven's anger didn't really hate him, not for a real reason anyway. He got up on his knees and hugged her. Hugged her because he didn't know what else to do; because he could get away with it; but most of all he hugged her because the darkest, scariest part of Raven didn't hate him. When he pulled away he could've sworn it was his Raven looking at him.

Anger opened and closed her mouth a couple of times beforeyelling forhim to just leave. Beast Boy didn't need to be told twice. He stood and ran out of the area, pulling on Bravery's arm as he passed her.

"You've got balls," Bravery said after he slammed the door closed behind him. He didn't saw anything to her, but the look was enough; it clearly told her to shut up.


Raven stopped what she was doing and just stared at the very pissed Robin. He had never one in the amount of years she'd known him, ever screamed like that. He yelled, sure, bitched, moaned, and complained, of course, but never screamed with such frustrated anger.

"Every time I try to get close to you, try to understand you run away, or give me some cryptic clue acting as if that explains everything!" Robin yelled. "But guess what Raven, it doesn't. Not even close. You say I know you better than anyone, well then the othersmust be on another planet because I'm still in the dark." He had lowered his voice and was now looking at Raven with more than just anger on his face. He looked hurt. Raven looked away from Robin. She knew everything he had just said was right.


Beast Boy had recovered from his little scare and was now continuing down the Hall of Emotions; though he couldn't help but feel like there was something else he should've been doing instead of playing with his friend's emotions... He came to a stop in front of a door marked "Fear" and underneath the name was "Please Stay Out". Beast Boy quirked an eyebrow and Bravery knew what he was going to attempt to do even before he reached for the handle.

"Wait!" She said. She casually made her was in front of Fear's door, blocking it from Beast Boy. He pulled his hand away from the door and looked at her expectantly. "Why don't you go to another emotions lair? Like..." Bravery trailed off and did a quick scan of the hallway. None of the emotions were ideal for Beast Boy to go messing with, but that was because Raven was supposed to be a "Beast Boy-free Zone". "That one." Bravery said pointing to a random door. Beast Boy looked at the door she pointed to and walked over to it.

"This one?" He asked jerking a thumb at it as he turned to face her. Bravery read the label on the door and fought back a gasp. She nodded wordlessly because she didn't trust herself to speak. It was true that she was Raven's bravery, her courage, but just as she had told Beast Boy she wasn't stupid and Raven had given her a list of emotions to stay clear of. Not that it mattered, it wasn't like her emotions held these giant parties or anything, but there are worse things than Anger, and she just told Beast Boy to go in a room that contained one of them.


A/N: Is it just me orhave these last fewchapters been coming out weird? I dunno, to me that's what it feels like. Anyway, review and you shall be rewarded!
