(Erk, for all my planning, this part is still hard to write.)

(Yah, I know. It hasn't been three weeks, I figure about one and 1/2; Raven got her powers back early, so shoot me. I was running out of random things to fill up time.)

"Please," Raven's voice shook, "get out of my room."

Other objects shook along with Raven's voice, and Beast Boy reached out to touch her, causing a random vase to shatter. He drew his hand back quickly and backed out of the room silently. Once the door was closed Raven collapsed onto her bed, folding her legs and resting her arms there. Through unkept tears, she muttered, "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos..."

Beast Boy sat on the roof, praying that what he said about them staying together was true. He heard the door open and close, but didn't turn around.

A black cloaked figure sat next to him in the gray morning, the stars just fading. "I heard something crash, and Raven wouldn't open her door. Am I free to assume she got her powers back?"

Beast Boy nodded silently, still not looking at Robin. Robin sighed. "This is why I didn't want this to happen; atleast, not like this. I didn't want either of you to get hurt."

"We're not children, Robin," Beast Boy said softly. "We can handle this. Raven'll be fine." Even as he said this, Robin could see the doubt in his eyes. Could see he was afraid that Raven would go numb again. That she would come to her senses and realise that Beast Boy was an idiot and she should never have gotten close to him. Robin shook his head and hugged the changeling.

"Raven had a pretty good control over her powers before, and she could still feel. Once she gets her control back again, she'll be fine!" Beast Boy covicted hopelessly. Robin hugged him tighter, and Beast Boy blurted out, "She asked me if we could still be together once our powers come back, and I told her we would! So we will!"

After a few moments Beast Boy sighed desperately and sat up, Robin releasing his hold. "I know you love her," Robin said softly. "Eventually, I'm sure you'll find a way."

(AN: Okay, excuse me, just, just a quick note here. That whole thing up there, the hug, you know, that was all brotherly and stuff. I'm a sucker for male bonding, so, yah. It wasn't yaoi. It was all just brotherly love. And anything else that comes, yah, more brotherly love. Okay, now that I've set any wondering minds straight, yah, you can continue reading. Um, thank you.)

Beast Boy smiled. "Yah. Maybe it won't be so bad as I'm making it out to be," he said, resting his head lightly on Robin's shoulder. Robin smiled down at the young green boy... little brother. (See? I told you so!)

Suddenly the door opened and closed again. Robin looked towards it, then got up. He headed to the door as another figure came to Beast Boy. "Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked Raven. He could hear her whispering under her breath.

"Yes," she replied, her voice monotonous once more. "For now. I let go of my control... it could take a while to get it back..."

"How long?" Beast Boy asked hopefully.

Raven's muttered whispers quickened under her breath. "I can't tell," she said, squeezing her eyes shut. "It could take a long time. Beast Boy... I'm sorry... I can't..."

And with a crash that could have come from anywhere in the Tower, Raven melted into the floor to leave Beast Boy staring helplessly out over the water.

---------------------------------------------------

Raven was cold. Ice pressed against her face, icy hands crawled at her spine. She was so cold. The monotonous resounding of her chants only added to the coldness, only fueled the icy fire now eating away at her. She wanted to cry, but her tears fell frozen back into her heart.

Why had she let herself think even for a moment she could be loved like that? Why had she even considered the possibility of completely relaxing her gaurd? If she had kept some control over herself, she would probobly still be fine, still able to feel somewhat, but now...

Raven looked up and saw the plushie she had won at the fair. Beast Boy had left it in her room. He had said her winning a plushie for him made him feel gay and he'd take it back when he won her something. Raven smiled an almost unfeeling smile. He would never take it back. Everything they had had, everything she had ever wanted, had to end; and she didn't even know why she was so sad. It would go back to being exactly like it was before; everyone would pretend it had never happened, and would forget. Beast Boy would move on. He would forget...

"I'll never forget you, Raven. I'll never hurt you. I'll never let you fall."

Raven squeezed her eyes shut against the memories, against the hope, and against the pain, letting herself fall into an unfeeling darkness.

(Oh, God save me please! This is sooo cheesey! I was thinking this would be the last chapter, but I feel the need to update and I have absolutely no inspiration. Give me ideas! Just rant if you want! Flames are readily accepted for this chapter (though they always are). Please, I need major help, or else you'll have to wait until a majorly good BB/Rae moment is the show for an update!)
