Enchanted Mind of the Blackbird

Chapter Sixteen:

What am I doing?

What is anyone doing?

Boy Wonder, Dick "Robin" Grayson, sat in his room absently staring at a picture that once provided him comfort. It was a picture of the group taken at Christmas. It was supposed to be one of them all looking happy at the camera but Beast Boy said something stupid and they were all looking and laughing at him (He was laughing at himself too.) It made it all the more heart warming. Today, or tonight actually, it provided no comfort; only pain. Pain of knowing that his once happy team was now ruled by envy, jealousy, anger, hurt, and all those other unhappy emotions. It was slowly killing the team from the inside out. Starfire had left, Beast Boy stopped talking to everyone, Cyborg was trying to keep everyone friendly but was slowly giving up hope, Raven remained in her room at all times now, and it was his fault. He didn't know why, but every time he was around the lavender haired sorceress he was overcome by a lust so strong that well... he didn't know. He only knew two things about it: he was pretty sure it wasn't his, and he had no control over it. He had to do something but again, every time he was around Raven... maybe he needed to try to fix it from another angle.

He got up from his seat and walked out into the hallway. Who to go to... who to go to... Beast Boy would probably be his best bet at talking to Raven. They needed to talk. He walked down the quiet hallway and went down the stairs and took a right then went down that hallway which was oddly silent. He could usually hear Beast Boys rock music blasting from down the hall. He stopped in front of the door that had Beast Boy engraved into and knocked softly. Maybe Beast Boy was asleep.

"What?" An annoyed voice asked. Maybe not. Beast Boy was awake but sounded too annoyed to bother opening the door. Times had changed, people had changed and what Robin had gathered about the new Beast Boy he could probably guess the scene behind the metal door. Beast Boy lying on his bed smoking a cigarette busy being annoyed at the world. Robin sighed. This wouldn't work. Beast Boy would not help him. He started to head back when there was a hiss mixed in with a whoosh. He turned around to see Beast Boy leaning on the doorway, arms crossed, but he had indeed been smoking. The proof was still in his hand. The green changeling repeated himself.

"I was hoping... you could... " He was drawling this out, wondering if he should even bother finishing his request. "If you could talk to Rav-"

"No." Beast Boy said in a strong tone compared to his unsure one. "Why don't you go talk to Raven yourself? You seemed to be so keen to do so days ago. Though that really wasn't talking now was it?" Robin blinked slowly. He expected to be turned down, but something about what Beast Boy just said made him feel as if he'd just been smacked in the face. And that was when he realized just how bad things had gotten and how much was his fault. He kept coming back to Raven to talk when what she needed was piece and quiet, his constant presence led to Starfire's departure which caused his leadership to go down hill. Because of that his team was falling apart. Because his team had fallen apart Beast Boy was now looking at him as if he were better.

"Grow up Beast Boy." Robin said cold-heartedly. It took him aback and Robin had to resist smirking. "So me and Raven made out a couple of times, grow up. That's life. But do you see where that's left us? Where's Starfire? I can tell you where she's not... If you have any hopes in fixing the mess we've all created you have to talk to Raven. I'd do it but every time I go near her I get this overcoming urge to make out with her and as I'm sure you've noticed, that's what usually happens. So I'm not even asking you anymore, I'm telling you to go talk to Raven."

Beast Boy was speechless for a couple of seconds then his frown deepened. "What makes you think I'm just going to do what you want?"

"Because despite the situation at hand I am still your leader and you'll do what I tell you. Plus, it's good for the team." Robin said resuming his position as team leader. Beast Boy looked like he was going to argue but instead walked back into his room, put his cigarette out, and then walked out of his room and in the direction of Raven's.

Beast Boy cursed Robin as he made his way up the stairs and into the living room. Her bedroom was in the hallway that was located in the living room. As it had been for the past couple of weeks, the room was empty. His anger vanished and turned into dread as he approached her door. This wasn't going to go smoothly, he could already tell. Raven wouldn't want to talk, she open the door, see him, slam it in his face, and continue to be alone. It was so typically Raven. So stupid. Beast Boy stopped and blinked as the door opened. He hadn't been aware that he had knocked (Probably pounded) on her door.

"What do you want, Beast Boy?" Raven asked, her voice empty of all emotion as per usual.

"Robin set me here." He said. Putting great emphasis on the boy wonders name. "Said I needed to talk to you cus he couldn't or he'd end up making out with you." He gave a disbelieving snort of laughter that made Raven frown.

"Look, I..." Raven said, then stopped. What was she planning on saying? Well the truth might be nice. "Don't know... what to do. How to fix this. Anything." Beast Boy was majorly confused. Even more so when the Goth emerged from the shadows and he saw the tears sliding down her face. She truly was upset about this. Shocked and confused he did the only thing that made sense at the moment. He hugged her and that's when the real tears and sobs came. God he was so confused. He decided at that moment that all women needed manuals because they made no sense. She was supposed to be pissed and such. Not upset and crying. "I didn't want Starfire to leave-" Sob. "I didn't want you to get mad." Sob. "And I really didn't want to make out with Robin all those times." She was crying so hard her whole body was shaking. He felt bad for her, and it made him think less of their "leader". He was at loss at what to say so he opted not to say anything at all and just rub her back and try to calm her. But as they just stood there he was already coming up with a plan of how to fix this. Or help it. And step one was finding Robin (He obviously wouldn't still be standing in front of his room) and have a little "chat".

Raven's sobs had turned into ragged breaths that made it sound like she was dehydrating or having breathing problems or both. Beast Boy frowned and led her back into her room. He sat her down on the bed and then went to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. When he returned he noticed that her gasping breaths seemed to have increased speed. He gave her the water and waited for her to calm down. For all he knew she could calm down and start right back up again.

"This really has you upset doesn't it?" he asked her. She nodded. He never saw her cry before. At least not like this. He didn't care for it to tell the truth.

Once Raven had settled down to the point of sleep Beast Boy quietly left to go have a much-needed chat with the Boy Wonder.

Just as he had suspected Robin wasn't in front of his room, he wasn't in his own room either. Or the evidence room, or on the roof, or in the training room. In fact he was in the very last place Beast Boy thought he should've looked first. Starfire's room. The boy wonder was standing in the middle of the room looking around as if he'd only just realized Starfire wasn't there; as if he only just realized how bad things were.

"So how long are you planning to stand there glaring at me?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy clenched and unclenched his fists. "Raven tells me she didn't want to make out with you." The "So you must've made her" was left hanging in the air. Robin shook his head and turned to the green Titan. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. The leader was at loss for words. This did nothing for Beast Boys temper. He marched up to Robin, punched him so hard that he fell over and stormed out to return to his room.

It was time to fix this shit and get everything back to normal. Now.
