Enchanted Mind of the Blackbird
Chapter Twelve:
The Beginning of their Problems
Pt. II
Word about how Beast Boy treated Happy had traveled surprisingly quick through out Raven's mind; if he had any hopes on attaining help from one of her many counter-parts then he was now up a Shit Creek without a paddle to his name. None of them wanted much to do with him and the green books that littered the made-up world were now becoming a rare sight. Red was the new Green in Raven's mind, though Anger sought him out to congratulate him on his actions towards Happy- then told him to fuck off. Beast Boy decided that this was quickly becoming the trip from hell, and it wasn't over yet, not to mention none of his actions hadn't really sunk in yet. He hadn't done the math yet so there was no way he understood just how bad he'd not only messed his own life up, but the lives of his friends as well.
Something had changed in the last few hours, Raven was sure of it, but she wasn't sure was how she got from point A to point B. Normally this would be the time when she'd grab her Mirror and as her emotions what the hell was going on in there, but alas, her mirror was broken thanks to Garfield Logan.
Raven flopped down on her bed and rubbed her temples, going over what had happened in the past few days. She gone to the beach to get away from everyone and everything, came back just in time to see Beast Boy disappear into her mirror and to see that of all things break, then ended up on a sugar high with the other Titans, played a stupid game that she made up and had a nice, touching, weird moment with Robin, then she put her life in danger to save his, then she made out with him resulting in them acting as if the other didn't exist, now she was lying in her room wondering why she was sudden drawn to him- she wasn't before and now she was. But the thing that bothered her the most was that she didn't know how much was Beast Boy's accidental doing and how much was her own.
Just when the lavender-haird Goth girl thought it couldn't get any more emotional for her, she was wrong.
A light knocking disrupted the nice silence in Raven's room. She groaned and got up vaguely wondering what was in store for her this time. She opened her door and came face to face with the last person she wanted to see or talk two, well now second. Robin was the first; she could deal with Starfire.
"Um, Friend Raven, this has been delivered to you." The redheaded alien princess said holding up a flat rectangular car board box. Raven's violet eyes went wide and she snatched the box out of the Tamaranian's hands. She floated over to her desk and ripped open the package. Sure enough under the bubble wrap was a mirror identical to her now broken one. A smile formed on the Azarathian's face, but was quickly replaced with a frown.
"How did it get her so fast?" Raven asked Starfire, examining the mirror for faults. There were none. Starfire floated over to her and handed her a note.
"This was attached to the box when it suddenly appeared on the coffee table." Starfire explained calmly. She thought it best to be completely neutral around Raven because she didn't have the best control of her emotions at the moment. One wrong word or tone could set something off. Best to be careful than to be careless and cause a fight.
Raven took the note and skimmed it quickly. She tossed it on the desk and went back to her mirror.
"Thanks Starfire, but if you wouldn't mind..." Raven said, hoping her teammate and friend would pick up the hint. Starfire's smiling face faltered for a moment.
"You wish to be alone?" She inquired. Raven nodded.
"Yeah, I need quiet and concentration if I want to get Beast Boy out of my head." Raven replied. Starfire nodded, showing that she understood.
"I shall leave you in peace then." And with that she turned and floated out of the room. When the door closed, Raven turned to her bookcase and held out her hand. She mumbled her incantation and one of the books on the top shelf started glowing black and floated down to her. She opened it up and skimmed through the pages looking for a specific spell.
"This is sooo hopeless." Beast Boy mumbled bitterly to himself. He could've sworn he passed that tree at least three times; walking in circles sucked, especially in the rain. What sucked even more was that no one was helping him. He'd bumped into Bravery, who had yelled at him; Anger, who had nearly bitten his head off; Knowledge said she didn't know where the door was: it was a total lie and they both knew it; Timid looked at him and burst into tears, adding guilt to his growing list of emotions. But there was one more emotion to be added: hope.
He'd found a different door.
Raven was interrupted again shortly after Starfire left. This time the person on the other side of her door didn't even bother knocking, they just entered.
"Raven, we need to talk." Came the sound of Robin's voice. He didn't sound angry, agitated, annoyed but he didn't sound very happy either, just tired. Raven let out a small sigh, she was tired too. Tired of not being able to control her emotions own her own, tired of dealing with Robin, tired of being what she was: a half-demon. Last but not least, she was tired physically because she hadn't been able to get much sleep as of late. All she wanted to do was fix the mirror, pull Beast Boy out, and give him a well-deserved kick in the ass, and then go take a much-needed nap.
"I'm busy, Robin." Raven replied wearily, holding up her spell book. She hadn't found the spell she needed yet.
"No Raven, I think we need to talk." Robin insisted with an edge in his voice that gave Raven a feeling that if they didn't talk they'd end up fighting. Raven didn't want to do either of them.
"There's nothing to talk about. I made a mistake, end of discussion. Now can you leave me alone so I can get that damn idiot out of my mind?" Raven said turning to look at him. Robin stared at her for a moment and then turned. Raven though she had won up until Robin took a seat across the room.
"I can wait." He said. Raven look at him, eyes glowing white. His body was suddenly engulfed in a black glow and he flew out of the room, door slamming closed behind him.
"Sorry, Robin." Raven muttered,flipping through her spell book once more.
