I would like to start by saying I love you all. Yes, over 10 reviews for one chapter. You have succeeded in inflating my ego. Thank you! However, since I am lazy and eager to write I will answer reviews at the bottom of this chapter, okay? Okay. Good. Now, let's get to it!

Disclaimer: Blah, blah, blah. That's lawyer for I don't own TT.

They Shall Never Know

Chapter four- Broken

I'm worried. Just wanted to let y'all know right up front. I was tracking Rae's signal and she hadn't moved in quite sometime. Now I can't speak for everybody, but when I'm angry I usually pace and move around a lot. I'm willing to bet Rae's pretty pissed right now, and she's defiantly not moving. Plus, my sensors were picking up some seismic activity in that area. Concentrated activity, this was no natural occurrence. The only reason I didn't voice my opinions was BB. Without his noticing I sneaked a glance at him. His fists were clenched and he was gritting his teeth. He seemed to be mentally berating himself. Now I can't say he doesn't deserve a good scolding, but B's my best friend, and I can't help feeling a little sympathy for the little guy. But right now we've got bigger things to worry about. Namely, Raven.

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, so hard that if they weren't made of metal my knuckles would've been white. Until we got there the only thing we could do now was pray, and I can't help but feel like that might not be enough.

How could I have been so stupid! I always mess up, always, always, always! And this time I don't think a little 'I'm sorry' is gonna cut it this time. Aw man! I really screwed up! Raven'll never forgive me! And I can't even blame her. I sighed, interrupting my little tirade. I noticed Cyborg sneaking glimpses of me out of the corner of his eye. He probably thinks I don't notice. Robin's sneaking looks at me too; he'll probably want to send me to jail again. I know I've been a jerk but Robin can be one too, and no one ever gets made at him!

…I'm avoiding it. Thinking about Raven I mean. I just…don't want to think about it. But I can't help it. I can't just push her out of my mind. So many thoughts are running through my head right now, it's making my brain hurt. Sorry, I guess it's a bad time for a joke right about now, isn't it? Heh heh…what if this turns out like Terra? What if Raven hurts her self? What if Raven runs away? What if… On and on they go. I don't like thinking like this. Why can't like be simple? Sometimes I get envious of the animals I can turn into, who only have to worry about food and fleas. Sometimes I wish I could turn into one and never turn back, let go of all the worries and responsibilities that come with being human. But I can't can I?

Raven told me something once, she said, "We cannot change the past, no matter how much we dislike it." I should've listened to her, than none of this would've happened. I'm sorry Raven. I'm so sorry.

Suddenly the car screeched to a halt. "We're here y'all." Cyborg said, climbing out of the car. I jerked myself from my thoughts and followed. "Where is she?" I asked frantically, looking around.

Silently Cyborg pointed, a look of horror on his face. Uneasily I looked in the direction his finger lead, there was a pile of rocks, and peeking out of it was a small section of blue fabric.

I was the first to move, as always. I ran towards the pile shouting her name. Beastboy looked like he was frozen in shock, and Starfire's hands had flown to her mouth, tears falling from her eyes. Cyborg was just two steps behind me. My shout seemed to wake the other two, and they followed us. For a few moments the only sounds were of moving rock, grunts, and Star's crying. Beastboy removed the final rock, in gorilla form, and tossed it aside, turned back to a human, a look of pure terror on his face. I'm sure my face looked the same. Starfire's sobs doubled in volume and Cyborg moved closer to scan Raven.

She was a mess; her cloak and leotard were ripped and covered in dirt and blood, her arm looked broken, as well as her right leg. Blood covered her head and leaked from her mouth. Bruises and cuts covered every inch of exposed skin, and as I moved closer I noticed that some of those cuts were old. Suddenly it all clicked. Raven's powers did this. When she left the tower all those times she was venting all her emotions. She no doubt did it to protect us from herself, and this was the cost. My throat suddenly seemed very tight, and my eyes stung. Moving over I wrapped my arms around Starfire, as much for her comfort as my own.

Oh poor friend Raven! How could this happen? I began sobbing heavily into friend Robin's chest as he embraced me. I could not even look at her, so great was my anguish.

"Cyborg, how bad?" Robin asked, his voice choked.

"Bad." Cyborg answered grimly. "Her right arm and leg are broken, as well as a couple ribs. There might be some internal bleeding but I can't be sure until we get back to the tower."

"Can we move her?" Robin asked, regaining control of his voice.

Cyborg nodded, "Yeah, but we need to be careful, and move fast."

"Star, do you think you can carry her to the car?" Robin asked me softly. I nodded in return, breaking away from his warm hold. I carefully positioned my arms under Raven's neck and knees. Slowly I lifted her, wincing as I heard something creak and shift. I just as carefully lay her down in the back seat of the T-car, strapping her in for safety.

"You two fly back and meet us there." Robin commanded, as there was no more room for us. "Please hurry Friend Robin." I said, answering for both Beastboy and I. I watched as the car sped away, before turning to friend Beastboy. He was still staring at the same spot Raven had just been, though there was only a pool of blood there now.

"Friend Beastboy?" I asked softly, touching his shoulder. He started, and turned to look at me, his eyes were filled with water. "It's my fault Star, you were right. Oh god I didn't mean- I'm so sorry!"

"Don't tell me." I said quietly, "Tell Raven."

"But Raven-" He could not finish his sentence, as he had begun to cry again.

"Then go and wait for her." I said, still keeping the volume of my voice low. He stared at me for a moment before nodding, "Yeah…yeah let's go." He transformed into a bird, a raven I believe, and together we flew towards the tower, I could only hope that friend Raven would be all right.

Yes, it is quite short, but give me a break, I was down two characters. It was either make two chapters into one and have this massively long monstrosity, or this. I went with this. Plus, there is the fact that I am in need of sleep. Sooo…that's it for now, but I'll try to get the next one up soon!
