It Happens.

Who's at Fault?

(One Hour Later at a Major Hospital in Jump City)

(Normal POV)

Beast Boy opened his eyes then sat upright in a flash and his right hand touched the right side of his temple. He was having a splitting headache.

What happened? All I remember is hearing screams and seeing a body. Wait. Who's body was it. Raven, Terra's. The body had blonde hair. Raven hair's purple so… Oh no. Not Terra. It can't be… (Beast Boy's thoughts)

Beast Boy looked around frantically and realized that he was in a hospital room and was sitting on a hospital bed. He looked up to see bandages wrapped around his head and that he had been changed into a hospital gown while he was unconscious. He rose carefully out of the bed and to his feet. His feet hurt a bit when he stood on them and then he noticed that his arms and legs had bruises, swells and scratches. He was barefoot but he didn't care. He slipped out of his room and briskly hurried down the deserted corridors. Soon he saw five doctors step out of a room and he hid behind a wall and peeked. The five male doctors stood barely an inch from the door with grim faces soon two police officers came out as well and between them in handcuffs was Raven.

Raven in handcuffs! What's going on? What did she do? I have to find out this is way too WEIRD. (Beast Boy)

(Beast Boy's POV)

"Wait!" I cried and ran from my hiding place towards the officers, "what is Raven being arrested for?" I asked.

"What are doing awake already?" one of the doctors demanded, "you suffered a minor concussion but you weren't supposed to be conscious before tomorrow," he stated.

"Raven is being arrested for injuring you and is the only suspect of Terra's possible murder," the only female officer present said formally, "I'm Officer Bennett," she added.

"Raven didn't kill Terra," I told them, "Terra killed herself."

"That's what Raven been telling us," the male officer said, "but without a witness and her umm reputation," he continued, "we couldn't take only her word for it," he explained, "and I'm officer Carter."

"Her reputation?" I asked unclear about what he meant.

"Me being Slade's daughter," Raven explained and Officer Carter glared at her.

"You've already been read your rights," Officer Carter snarled, "and you know what the right to remain silent means," he said pointedly.

"I told you that she didn't kill anyone pal," I said rudely, "get her out of those handcuffs."

"We can't do that," Officer Bennett told me, "She still attacked you after all," she added.

"She attacked me out of anger," I revealed to them, "she wasn't thinking clearly," I tried to explain, "I'm NOT pressing charges," I added firmly.

"Why not!" Officer Carter exploded, "you know whose daughter she is!" he cried, "and what happened to your friend Robin is all her fault!"

"No it's NOT!" I shouted, "I mean…" I started to say when I realized what had just shouted, "that's got nothing to do with this!" I told him, "Let her go."

"We can't do that," Officer Bennett stated, "but we can take off the handcuffs and take both of you to the station so that we can take your statements," she said kindly.

"I don't see why we should take off the handcuffs," Officer Carter muttered loudly but he still took out the key and removed the handcuffs from Raven's wrist.

I watched Raven as she slowly remove her hands from behind her back and started to gently rub her wrist. Her eyes were red and puffy and I could tell that long after she had knocked me out that she had been crying. Her unusual pigtails were almost fully pulled out and they looked like someone ran their hands through them like a madwoman. She looked much less creepy and foreboding without the cape. But with what was happening right now I wished I had it to hide my shame.

Raven continued to rub her wrists but I noticed something else. She was making it a point to not look in my direction.

"Raven," I said to her.

"Don't talk to me," Raven said softly but it was so cold and emotionless that it might as well have been screamed loud enough to burst my eardrums.

"That's no way to talk to your 'rescuer'," Officer Carter said bluntly.

"He's not MY rescuer," Raven responded in a voice that resembled a hiss.

"Please," I begged, "just let her be right now," I told them, "she's really upset over Terra's suicide," I explained.

"She said that you rejected both of them and it seemed Terra couldn't take it and walked off," Officer Bennett stated, "plus that you held her (Raven) foot when she was about to go after Terra and you two ended up quarrelling," she continued, "is that all true?" she asked and I nodded.

"I didn't expect her to kill herself," I said as I felt tears well up into in my eyes, "I was just really angry and…."

"You declared that you hated both Terra and myself," Raven interrupted, "but honestly," she continued, "if I wasn't so shocked by her suicide," she said, "I would've jumped over the cliff just to go on the other side and join her," she confessed in a voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm sorry Raven," I told her, "I know that she and Blackfire were your best friends," I said solemnly.

"More like only friends," a voice said angrily, "you better pray that I don't find you alone one day you green MURDERER!"

I looked forward to see Blackfire standing in between Starfire and Robin. Starfire looked cold and angry while Robin looked hard and suspicious. But Blackfire looked like she wanted to KILL me. I looked at her fearfully and gulped.

"Please remain calm young lady," Officer Bennett soothed, "we're getting the details that we need now," she added.

"Besides the fact that Raven is a murderer?" Robin asked pointedly.

"I didn't kill her," Raven snarled and when I looked at her I noticed that her eyes momentarily glowed red.

FUCK! If she explodes now she'll be locked up for sure. And I know that she'll be charged in the first degree for the murder of Robin. (Beast Boy's thoughts)

"Where is Cyborg?" Starfire asked suddenly, "didn't he stay with you along with Terra's body until the police arrived?" she asked formally.

"He went ahead to the station," Robin spoke up, "he believed Raven's story about Beast Boy causing Terra's suicide."

"I did," I said seriously, "Terra's dead because of me," I said sadly.

"So what Raven said wasn't false?" Starfire asked and for a moment I swore I got a hint of the old Starfire, "so the dyke didn't lie," she added meanly.

So much for the hint. (Beast Boy's thoughts)

Suddenly Blackfire moved and slapped Starfire across the face.

"I will NOT have you talking about Raven like that!" Blackfire shouted, "she just lost one of her closes friends you bitter bitch!"

"Don't hit Starfire!" Robin cried and moved as if to hit Blackfire.

"Touch her and die," Raven snarled in a voice barely above a whisper.

Robin turned his attention to Raven and his face contorted in anger.

"You want me to stay away from your dirty little girlfriend?" Robin sneered.

"Don't you dare say that about my sister!" Starfire shouted out to my and everyone else's surprise, "you're just being a jerk now Robin!" she continued, "keep your problems with Raven between you and her," she said firmly.

"I didn't know you cared," Blackfire said smiling and I smiled on the inside when Starfire smiled back.

Maybe she'll reach closer to her old self. She can always find another guy to love her. Robin isn't the only male in existence! (Beast Boy's thoughts.

"And to think I actually wanted to marry you!" Blackfire spat angrily, "we were in the bar talking moments before we heard Raven's screaming," she stated, "you were busy saying how you missed the old times and how beautiful I looked," she sneered, "did that make you too busy to call me a dyke?" she demanded.

"I didn't mean…" Robin started to say.

"I can see why Raven hates you," Blackfire said, "I wouldn't pity you if it were my father who did the act," she declared, "I barely even pity you know," she told him and walked off until she stopped beside me, "how's your head?" she asked suddenly and I shivered slightly as I watched her with wide eyes and then she ran her fingers through tufts of my green hair which stuck out through the bandages on my head, "you're so beautiful," she whispered as tears filled her eyes.

"What?" I asked in a croaked whisper and Blackfire turned away.

"Are you blushing?" Robin demanded and I peeked from behind Blackfire's side to see that it was true, "what's going on with you two?" he demanded.

"That's none of your beeswax," Cyborg said suddenly as he walked until he stood in front of Blackfire who's back was turned to me, "do you like him?" he asked and she nodded.

"But he'll never like me," Blackfire whispered, "what does a green changeling want with a Tameranian Troublemaker and someone with my criminal past," she continued as I stood in shock, "I always liked him but thought Robin was more endearing."

Always liked me? What on earth could she like about ME?" (Beast Boy's thoughts)

Maybe you two should go talk alone?" Cyborg suggested, "you at least seem like you'll be kind to Beast Boy," he said kindly and quickly gave a dirty look in Robin's direction.

"Why do you like me?" I asked her softly.

"You're such a kind person at heart and a comedian," Blackfire responded softly after turning to me, "I've always had feelings for you Beast Boy," she admitted, "but I know that you'd NEVER feel that way about me," she added solemnly.

"I wanted you for my girlfriend that time you came to our house before we found out you were a criminal," I declared then felt like a total idiot.

Prepare for her to go straight unto Cyborg. (Beast Boy's thoughts)

"Really?" Blackfire asked excitedly, "you liked me even then?"

"Yeah," I admitted, "you were the first girl that I had a crush on since I had a crush on Raven," I told her, "even before I met Terra."

"I'm just so sorry that she killed herself," Blackfire said sadly.

"Me too," I responded, "sometimes when you're angry you don't think of the consequences of your words and actions," I stated, "and my carelessness caused someone their life," I added.

Blackfire suddenly hugged me to my surprise.

"I hate what you did," Blackfire whispered to me, "but I love you more than I hate you," she continued, "even more than my friendship with Raven," she added to my surprise.

"I can't believe this," Robin said rather loudly, "since when did you two become a couple?" he demanded.

"Don't be bitter," Blackfire spat at Robin, "can he go home now?" she asked looking at the doctors.

"He has to stay overnight," another male doctor said, "but he's well tomorrow," he continued, "he's free to go."

"I think we have enough to write this off," Officer Bennett said suddenly, "we'll come tomorrow for a few statements from you Beast Boy," she said firmly, "but Raven's free to go," she said, "Goodbye," she said and left with a rather angry looking Officer Carter.

I waved bye to my friends and walked away with the doctors. Along with Blackfire who was by my side holding my hand.

(Normal POV)

"So you got away?" Robin asked coldly, "you'll get caught someday," he said, "you are SLADE'S daughter after all."

"Oh will you put a SOCK in it!" Cyborg cried in annoyance, "with what happened all those years ago it wouldn't have mattered if she was Mad Mod's daughter or Adonis's step cousin!" he shouted, "Raven had committed an act of not just lying but also aiding a criminal in escaping," he reminded Robin, "being Slade's daughter would've been irrelevant if she hadn't done anything to help him," he stated, "it seems you never actually focused on that."

"You'd focus on that," Robin said curtly, "I focus on the person to blame for what happened to me," he said and glared at Raven.

(Raven's POV)

"Fine Robin it's my fault," I said giving him my full attention, "does that make it better?" I demanded.

"No," Robin responded, "you don't mean it," he added.

"Would it have made it better if I did!" I exploded, "admit it Robin!" I shouted, "nothing will make you better!"

"I admit it," Robin responded, "which is why I can NEVER forgive you," he told me and left.

"He's right you know," Starfire said to me, "nothing can make him better," she said sadly, "but it's not just because of what Slade did to him," she continued, "it's because he's too bitter to let himself move on with his life," she added.

"You can spend the night at my place if you don't want to be alone Raven," Cyborg offered, "we might not be friends," he continued, "but you might want some company right now," he said to me.

"Take Starfire," I said coldly, "I have something to deal with," I said seriously and left the two of them staring after me in confusion.

I need to talk to Robin. We have to end this (Raven's thoughts)
