A/N: Sorry it took so long. From now on I'll really try to get one up a week. Thank you to all my reviewers! I couldn't do it without you! I tried to make this one kind of long because it has been three weeks, I'm not sure it turned out as long as I'd hoped though. Anyways, here it goes, and again, Thank You! All of you! RR!

Disclaimer: Same thing as the last 5 chapters!

Raven's love had overpowered all the chaotic, destructive actions of the other emotions and forced Raven to wrap a black, glowing field around Beast Boy and herself as the ruble came down atop them.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Beast Boy had shut his eyes tight in belief that he would be crushed along with his teammate beneath the moaning remains of the past courthouse. He had hoped that Raven would save him, prayed she would come to her senses and give him hope for survival, but as hysterical as she was now he doubted that she was thinking strait enough even to save herself. Transforming into a turtle he pulled himself inside his newly formed shell and awaited the impact. Beast Boy waited, where was it, the ceiling was falling on the two of them, he should have been crushed, he should be… dead. He didn't realize till that very moment that he wasn't going do die, Raven had saved him, but wait, Raven, what had happened to her, was she okay. Ignoring the fact that there still could be fragments of the roof just waiting to fall onto his head Beast Boy changed back to his natural form and cried out Raven's name. A sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he realixed they were both safe, Raven had her emotions under control once again, and had used her rebellious powers to stop the ruble from taking its final two victims.

The smile changed to a frown as he realized she still wasn't okay. Her face was even paler than usual, her cape was changing from one color to another like it had the day this all began. She shut her eyes tight and began to yell as if she was talking to someone that only existed in her own imagination. "Leave me alone, get out of my head! Leave me alone!" Beast Boy tried to talk to her, to soothe her pain, but without success.

Raven fell to the ground, and the field she had created around the two of them disappeared. Beast Boy ran to her side and, without thinking about what he was doing or who was watching, grabbed her hand, massaging it in his own, praying she would wake up and everything around them would disappear, they would be back in Titans Tower. Raven would be sitting in her room reading and Beast Boy would be just outside her door, begging her to come out so she could play some other stupid game with him and Cyborg. He knew she would refuse his offer, knew she would just make some sarcastic comment about how immature he was but he didn't care, he had only asked to hear her voice, to know she was still alive, to know no harm had come to her and that she was still safely locked away in her room. He only asked so he could talk to her, he just wanted to talk to her and hear her answer. Was this what it felt like, was this how it felt, to be in love. The only thing stopping him from admitting this to Raven was even he didn't realize what these feelings meant, didn't realize love was why he asked questions he already knew the answer to, even he didn't realize he was in love with a girl he pretended to despise, and he didn't realize that that girl loved him back.

Still holding her hand, which was now cold and lifeless, he heard footsteps coming toward him, and finally looked up at the surrounding crowd. Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire approached him and Raven slowly, a sympathetic but horrified look on their faces. Beast Boy look at them for long, nor would he wouldn't look at the crowd widely surrounding them for more than a few seconds, for the looks on their faces disgusted him. Beast Boy only allowed his eyes to search Raven's body, search her for any sign of life, look into her eyes, waiting for them to open, and her mouth to curl into a smile or open with a joke. But this didn't happen, Raven didn't move.

The Titans now surrounded the two of them closely and the crowd in a wide circle around the wrecked building, all eyes on Beast Boy and Raven. He took her into his arms, lifting her limp body with strength he didn't know he had. Cradling her like a small child, he carried her out of the rubble, past the Titans and crowd, not stopping at the cries of his friends or the security guards pointing the guns. He would take Raven out of here, far far away, where he would heal her and they would stay together, absent of all distractions and villains. He want to help her find a way out of whatever it was she was feeling, to find out what it was that brought her to earth that day long ago.

Beast Boy, lost in thought, hadn't seen the number of people who had dared to take a step closer to the witch and her guardian. The remaining three Titans were again in a tight circle protecting their friends from the angry but still frightened crowd. Nor had he realized how heavy Raven was becoming in his arms, until he dropped to his knees under the pressure. Though that, of course, would not persuade him to let her fall from his gentle grasp, once again begging her to awaken, once again wishing this was all just a dream. But it wasn't a dream, Raven was to be killed, more people were daring to enter the sea of onlookers, people who had been at the trial, as well as people from the streets watched, waited. They whispering amongst themselves, asking complete strangers what it was that was going on, comforting those they had never before seen, telling them everything was going to be all right, that justice would be withheld. For the Titans, the site of so many standing together united was beautiful, but what it was they were united against, was a nightmare.

The judge was the next and last to approach the terrifying scene. Of course, even he, wouldn't get to close to the unconscious girl without a number of armed guards. He said nothing more than, "My sentence remains, only the date will be moved forward in order to protect our city from any more," he chose his last words carefully with disgust thick in his voice, "accidents." All the Titans but Beast Boy began to argue with the judge's final decision. Starfire, her eyes glowing a violent green, stated how many times she had heard Earth was the world of equality and fairness, going on to explain why the judges decision was not the right one for her teammate, and friend. Robin trying hard to come up with alternate, less harmful punishments for the girl he come to know so little of, and yet cared so much for. Cyborg was shocked, he didn't know what to say, for compared to all the other Titans, he had just realized, he had known the least about his forbidding teammate, that of course, didn't stop him from getting his far share of threats in for the mysterious girl. Beast Boy had nothing at all to say, arguing with the guard would not help them now; he was having a hard enough time resisting the urge to changing himself into a giant creature and trampling all those ignorant people that had banned themselves together against Raven.

After only a few minutes the battle was over, the Titans had again, lost, and a number of guards were approaching Raven with the utmost caution. They would never have expected a large, green ape looking creature standing over her, teeth bared and ready. The same creature that had been released the last time Raven's life was being threatened, the same beast that had saved her life the last time.

"Move kid, it's over, she's ours."

Beast Boy would not back down, he did not care who it was in front of him or what weapons they pointed at him, he was too blinded by anger and hatred to care. A growl escaped his throat warning everyone around him, armed or not, to keep away. A beast had once again taken control of him, and he would not, could not change back until his goal was satisfied.

Everybody began back away as a group; the guards held their ground but with a spring already loaded into their legs ready to be let forth at any immediate sign of inescapable danger. Nor had the Titans backed away from the scene, they tried to calm Beast Boy, begging him not to hurt anyone that would put him in the same predicament as Raven. The guards cocked their guns and warned Beast Boy to back away from the unconscious girl once more. The Titans moving from trying to comfort him to trying to prevent any bullets from escaping the guns that would lead to the death of their friends, for they, unlike Beast Boy were sure, or had at least tricked their minds into thinking, were sure they could still save Raven without resorting to a fight.

The pleads of the Titans were not at all working, the guns were aimed at the ape-like creature, and fingers ready at the trigger. At last there was no more time for pleas, the Titans, about to fight against what they had worked so long to withhold, were stopped by the sound of a gun, an explosion, and the arrival of three unexpected guests.
