A/N) Sorry! Wow it's been awhile since I updated this. Two things a) school b) City of Heroes. Those are my excuses, and I happen to think they're good ones. Anyway a shorter update but an update is better than none, right?

Chapter 5

Beast Boy decided to see how the yellow one was doing with the mirror. He stood back a few paces and watched as Raven's intellectual side carefully lifted pieces from the box and replaced them in the mirror frame. He figured she was close to having the mirror completed, but he really had no idea how she could fix the cracks in the glass. She looked up, having noticed she was being observed and smiled.

"Almost done."

"Can you fix the cracks?" he asked. She thought for a moment then hesitantly nodded "I think tha- Achoo!" Intellectual Raven sneezed into a puff of yellow smoke. Beast Boy took a surprised step backwards and cast a glance over at Raven. She had a hand to her head once more, trying valiantly to suppress a grimace of pain. Loud coughing from within the puff of smoke drew his attention back.

An even more bookish looking Raven in a very plain, slightly dull, yellow coughed again and waved the smoke out of her face. "It is most intriguing that the result of a division should be a vaporous system of small particles of carbonaceous matter suspended in the air. To my knowledge nothing has been incinerated."

"Uhh...." Beast Boy blinked at the bespectacled Raven.

"She means it's odd that the old emotion turns into a puff of smoke when she disappears, 'cause nothing actually burns." The speaker was a yellow so dark it was almost brown. The other resulting Raven wore a very pale yellow and was watching Happy dance to the video game. The darker facet scanned the room, watching the others interact. She nodded politely to Raven and finally her gaze met Beast Boy's. He'd though that a "soul searching gaze" was a fluffy expression used by hack writers to try and make a boring romantic scene more intense or something and that it didn't actually exist. He immediately rethought that opinion after only a few seconds under this Raven's scrutiny. He knew Raven could read emotions, but this one seemed to be able to not only see his thoughts, but his very soul. He found he had to look away and tore his eyes away from the grip of her stare. Cheeks colored slightly, he nonchalantly made his way back over to the couch and plopped down next to Raven.

Wisdom turned her intense gaze on Raven and the dark girl scowled back before turning in her seat, determined not to be unnerved. A single brow arched and the corners of Wisdom's lips turned up just the slightest bit. But since she was the better part of valor, she knew when to leave well enough alone and quietly watched Knowledge bustle about the mirror on the table. The pale yellow Raven sat on the couch between Beast Boy and Raven, who had resumed trying to meditate. Raven had the worst migraine she'd ever experienced and wished that the painkillers would kick in. Beast Boy was trying to figure out what the pale Raven was when he noticed the couch dip beside him and warm breath on his neck. He gulped, knowing it could only be one thing. Slowly he turned and, as expected, came face to face with Lust.

"Hi." She had the same low, raspy voice Raven normally spoke in, but it was...sexy. Lust leaned forward and Beast Boy could only think of three coherent things before his brain shut down; how pretty her eyes were, how good she smelled and how he was going to shortly die a very painful and violent death. Lust leaned in just the least bit more, fully intending on taking advantage of her currently corporeal state to get in at least one kiss because Raven damn well wasn't going to her self, when-

"What are you doing?" Pale Raven asked.

The moment shattered and the changeling shifted into a cat form to escape Lust. He was about to jump off the couch when he was gently picked up and placed in a lap. Looking up he saw that it was the pale Raven's; his savior had just become his captor.

"Awwww, that's so cute!" she said beaming down at the ball of green fur. It was then he realized he'd stupidly become the excessively cute cat that Starfire couldn't resist. Pale Raven nuzzled his fuzzy head then blithely began scratching behind his ears.

"I am so dead." He thought. The real Raven would never, ever, ever, ever let him live now.

"So what are you doing?" Pale Raven asked. Lust gave her a dirty look.

"Nothing now. Thanks." She sighed heavily and sat back on the couch. "I was hoping to get in at least a make out session in before we all had to go back, but you spoiled that."

"A what?"

"A make out session. You know, tonsil hockey?" Lust looked at her critically. "No, you don't know," she said with dawning realization.

"Nope," Pale Raven admitted and rolled Beast Boy onto his back to scratch his belly.

"Ok, if I die, this is a hell of a way to go," he thought.

"So if you couldn't get a 'make out session' thing, what else couldn't you do?" Pale asked. A slow, evil grin spread across the other's face.

"I know who you are," she replied. "You came with Knowledge and Wisdom...but you're Innocence."

"Yep!" she smiled brightly. Lust chuckled.

"Well," She said and pulled Innocence closer and began whispering into her ear. The girl's eyes widened and her mouth formed an 'O' as Lust told her exactly what she wouldn't be doing – in detail.

"Oh," Innocence breathed. She frowned. "Is that anatomically possible? And wouldn't it be kinda awkward?" Lust smiled but rolled her eyes. Corrupting the embodiment of virtue wasn't going to be easy, but it was going to be fun.

"Can I hold the kitty?" Lust asked.

"Sure!"

"I don't think so." Beast Boy was snatched from Innocence's lap by Raven who glared daggers at Lust. She held up the small green cat and transferred the glare there as well, as if it were partially his fault. Beast Boy's ear's drooped and he gave Raven the biggest, saddest, most pitiful and watery eyes he could, knowing full well it might save him from a slow death.

Beast Boy was surprised to find he was still alive a few seconds later. Sensing her hesitation let out a truly piteous 'mew'.

"God," Raven growled, "None of this will ever be repeated to anyone, understood?" The cat nodded and she set Beast Boy down on the couch. He quickly turned into his human form and avoided looking at the real Raven. Raven avoided looking at him as well, so both missed the deep blush on the other's face. Beast Boy watched Happy dance around for a moment but something behind her caught his eye. He stood and made his way towards the window.

"Uhm, I take it that that isn't a good thing?" He pointed towards the increasingly large vortex forming in the sky. All the Ravens stopped what they were doing and joined him by the window. "Is it just me or does that look like its going to be a portal to someplace dark and very, very scary?"

"That's not good," Raven muttered. The others looked fearful and nodded agreement. Fear whimpered and ran in the opposite direction. Raven watched her go then turned back to the window. She felt exhausted and slightly woozy, but it looked like her troubles were just starting. "I think we'll have to go out there." She flipped open her communicator and contacted Robin.

"I guess you've seen the sky?" She nodded.

"We should probably join you," she told him.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Beast Boy asked.

"No," Raven admitted, "But it doesn't look like I have much choice."
