I'm a crazy Canadian and some of my writing may reflect that. Don't be alarmed and run for the hills, I'm sure it won't hurt too badly.
First and foremost: I told you guys about an e-mail I received a little while ago with a petition about the review rule. Although a petition is a great idea, circulating it via e-mail isn't as effective as it could be and the forum idea isn't much better. I've set up a petition (http/ www. petitionspot. com/ petitions/ reviewrule) and I ask that all authors who want to see an end to the horrid review response rule.
I'm so sorry that this is so very late but I've been in the hospital for the past week. Long story short, I was in a car accident. I ride a motorcycle so I got pretty banged up but I'll mend in time. I can only type with one hand now (thankfully my dominant hand) because my left arm is in a cast in such a way that it will not properly bend to meet the keyboard. If you want to read all the details of the accident, there's posted under "Driving Sucks!" in the "Talk" section on the forum (I think the link is in the last chapter).
Thank you for your understanding!

Chapter Fifteen
Beast Boy rolled to his side and let out a yelp at the intense pain that suddenly flowed through him. When he thought that healing Starfire and Raven after leaping off of a bridge was the worst pain he could ever be in, he was sorely mistaken. The kind of pain he felt now was almost unimaginable. He could feel it in the core of his body like it was a hot slab of steel burning away at him from within. The only thing he wanted now was to slip back in to the comforting painlessness of unconsciousness but what he felt was something that wouldn't let him pass out. It was too painful for him to pass out again.
He inhaled sharply because the very act of breathing was causing him sever discomfort. His original cry of pain must have brought someone's attention to him because he felt their emotions. They felt so nice, anything but the pain was nice. They were strong as well, a sort of comforting warmth that was accompanied by a relieving cool that seemed to displace the burning from inside.
With this outer influence, he was spared enough pain to regain his senses. There was someone holding onto him and by the shaking, it felt as though they were sobbing. He was hesitant to open his eyes but forced himself to anyway. At first he only saw a very blurred mass of green and white but Raven's sobbing head and shoulders soon separated themselves from the bland white wall behind them.
'Crying?' He thought. 'She isn't casting off any distressed emotions though…'
"Don't cry Raven…" Came his quiet and slurred words.
"Beast Boy! I was so scared that you were going to… Going to die last night." She squeezed him even tighter. "I really thought that you were going to slip away from me. I don't want to loose you."
"You won't." Beast Boy had managed to regain his grasp of clear speech. "I told you that you'd never loose me and that's a promise I'm going to keep."
Beast Boy had started stroking Raven's hair as he was talking and her sobs were quickly diminishing. That comforted feeling that he felt from her was stronger now and alleviated the pain even more. A pleasant silence fell over the two and they just enjoyed the company of one another. After a short time, Raven looked up to Beast Boy from where she had been hugging him and kissed him tenderly.
"I'll go tell everyone you're awake." She said as she began to rise.
"No." Beast Boy said, grabbing her wrist. "Please stay…"
Raven gave him a questioning look so he explained.
"It hurts. It really hurts. When I feel what you feel, it make some of it go away."
:-:-:-:-:
Beast Boy's pale hand ran soothingly through her hair and she thought about all that had happened over the past day. Dr. Light's attempt to kill her, Beast Boy's transformation into that demon, Jinx's help, Dr. Lights death, and Beast Boy's own narrowly missed demise. The unavoidable question of whether killing Dr. Light really was necessary was ever-present in the tower but it weighed especially heavily on Raven's mind.
'It doesn't matter.' She firmly decided. 'I trust Beast Boy and know that he'd never willingly do something like that.'
She looked up to his face to see his eyes closed and a neutral look affixed. He did look peaceful though so she leaned up and gave him a gentle kiss.
"I'll go tell everyone you're awake."
Beast Boy's hand held her wrist so she couldn't get up.
"No. Please stay…"
Raven looked into his slightly pleading eyes.
"It hurts. It really hurts. When I feel what you feel, it make some of it go away."
'Of course he must be in pain! He just healed eleven gunshot wounds! Why hadn't I thought of that before?' Raven thought.
She took his hand and held onto it.
"I won't go anywhere then." She sat back down and rested her head at his side. "Do you want to talk?"
"Yea, we need to… About what happened with Dr. Light yesterday…" Beast Boy was hesitant to continue. "I killed him."
"No you didn't." She said in a set tone. "The demon in you did it, I know you'd never kill anyone."
"That's just it Raven, it was me, not the demon part of me. I ended his life because he was going to kill you. I wanted to kill him for what he tried to do to you." Beast Boy's expression was extremely serious. "I afraid Rae…"
The green Titan did the best she could to absorb what Beast Boy was telling her. He chose to do it? How could he though? He hated killing, hell; he was a vegan because he didn't like the idea of animals suffering. Beast Boy couldn't do it, it had to have been his demon side.
"N-No. It wasn't you Beast Boy." She did her best to keep her voice steady. "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid because it was. I talked to my demon side when I was unconscious and he didn't force me to kill. I'm part demon now, killing is something that the demon side always wants to do but it wasn't him." He took a deep breath and exhaled. "What I'm afraid of is the fact that even if I didn't have this demon side, I would have killed him for what he tried to do."
Raven tried to speak but found she could say nothing. What could she say? She could think of nothing to say to dispel his fears. She leaned up again and hugged him. She hugged him tightly hoping to protect him from the anguish that was written so plainly on his features. He sat up awkwardly and returned her embrace. His breathing had quickened and he seemed to be choking in an attempt to quell openly crying.
The console next to the medical bed began to shake ever so slightly as a darkened aura surrounded it but neither of the Titans seemed to notice.
"I'm afraid because I know I'd kill anyone who tried to harm you."
Raven wanted to say something, needed to say something but was still drawing a blank.
'He'd kill people who tried to hurt me?' She shook her head sharply. 'That's not important right now!'
"It's going to be alright Beast Boy, we'll get through this."
She brushed her hand through his hair comfortingly. It still had dried blood in it making it a tangled mass.
:-:-:-:-:
Beast Boy knew what he'd told Raven was the truth because it came so easily, it felt so right and true. So why did he feel so lost and afraid now? Feel. That was something he wasn't allowed to do. Raven was gently rubbing the back of his head, no doubt in an attempt to calm him, and it was working to some extent. He still felt the negative emotions though and knew what he had to do.
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos…" He whispered. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos…"
After a moment of this quiet meditation whilst still hugging Raven, he stopped chanting and let out a relaxed sigh.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked, pulling away just enough to see his face.
"Better. I guess I should get myself cleaned up." He said as he examined the state of his body. "A good long shower would be good. Do you think you could help me with these bandages?"
Raven gave him a quick kiss and smiled. "Sure."
:-:-:-:-:
"And here's the training room." Said Cyborg as he opened the door. "We've got pretty much everything you could ever need in here but we've also got the course outside if you feel like getting shot at."
"Looks good. I doubt I'll be very active for a while though." Jinx said as she looked at her shoulder.
Cyborg smiled.
"Don't be too sure, once BB is up and about, he can have that healed up in a couple seconds."
"That'd be nice. This thing is starting to get annoying." She said, readjusting the sling.
Cyborg sat down on one of the benches near the side of the mattes and Jinx sat on a weight bench opposite him. An uncomfortable silence fell upon the room and Cyborg scratched the back of his head.
'Man… This is a little awkward…' He thought.
"So… What do you think of the Tower?" He asked in an attempt to rid the room of the silence.
"It's nice." She replied.
'Hmm… You're not really helping me out here, Jinx.'
"Yea, we've been living here fo- Screw it." The pink haired sorceress looked up at him in confusion. "Look, I feel kind of guilty about what happened back when I infiltrated the H.I.V.E. I mean, I learned a whole bunch of stuff about you but I never really told you anything about the real me. So ask whatever you want."
In truth, Cyborg felt very guilty. He had gotten to know Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo very well under the alias of Stone. Over that time at the academy, he'd learned that they weren't really all that bad. Sure, Gizmo wasn't all that pleasant to be around, but Mammoth was actually a nice guy once you got to know him. He'd also managed to develop a crush on Jinx when he was there.
If he said he hadn't actually considered abandoning the Titans to stay as part of the H.I.V.E., it would have been a lie. He was there with them for weeks and got to experience what he never had, a somewhat average life. Well, as average as life can get in a school for villains. It was a great deal like Cyborg had imagined high school would be like. So when he was given the choice to defect, for however brief a moment, he had considered doing it.
Jinx tapped her chin with her free hand for a moment as if carefully choosing what to ask first.
"Did you really enjoy it?" She asked.
"Enjoy what?" Cyborg asked confused.
"Your time at the academy. Hanging out with us and going to classes."
"Yea." He smiled. "Yea I did."
:-:-:-:-:
The hot water flowed over Beast Boy and filled the rest of the washroom with steam. He scrubbed his hair vigorously causing more red liquid to fall down his back and down the drain of the shower stall. The water was almost scalding but it didn't bother Beast Boy, the pain inside the core of his body felt a hundred times hotter so the shower seemed pleasantly warm.
Raven sat at the far side of the washroom on the edge of the bathtub. He requested her presence there just so he could feel her emotions. His mind was still preoccupied with what had happened with Dr. Light but those thoughts only brought him back to the pain. The light conversation with Raven had managed to take his mind of off that though, so he just focused on the lyrical sound of her voice.
"So do you think you're up for more training today?" He asked.
"I think so, if you're up to it that is."
"I should be ok." He replied. "Just so long as I'm not doing anything major."
"How about lunch? You haven't had anything to eat since yesterday and I only had a little food for supper last night." Said Raven.
Beast Boy chuckled slightly and the bar of soap he just put down cracked into several pieces as a result.
"Now who's the one with food on the brain?" He said as he turned off the water.
His hand reached out over the stall door and he grabbed his towel.
"Hey." She said defensively. "I'm only saying it because I know you haven't eaten for a while."
Beast Boy emerged from the shower with the towel wrapped around his waist. Raven blushed slightly and looked away as the pale Titan began putting on his clean clothes.
"Well, I guess I could go for something to eat. We should talk to the others too." Said Beast Boy.
He began to walk towards the washroom door but his movements were jerky. Just as before, the pain he felt inside was slowly making its way throughout his whole body. Now his legs and arms felt stiff and sore, through it was still nothing compared to what he felt on the inside.
'Don't want Raven to worry.' He thought. 'There's enough to deal with besides me being hurt.'
Beast Boy leaned forward to open the door but a surge of pain suddenly struck him and it took all of his control to not collapse. Raven quickly rushed to his side and slung one of his arms over her shoulders to support him.
"Don't be stupid." She said. "Ask if you need help."
"Ugh." He groaned. "So I'm being stupid now?"
"Yep. And I wouldn't have you any other way." She said giving him a kiss.
:-:-:-:-:
Robin mulled over what he could possibly say to Beast Boy as flipped a few grilled cheese sandwiches over in a frying pan. It would have been nice to just forget the whole thing happened and go on like everything was normal, but he knew he couldn't do that. He was supposed to be the leader, and the best way to lead was by example. He hated to think that making an example of Beast Boy was the right thing to do, but he could do nothing to block out that little voice in the back of his mind.
This wasn't the same though, he couldn't look at it as right and wrong anymore. If he were to punish Beast Boy, he'd be a hypocrite because of what he'd told the police. Not only that, but what would the police do if they were to find out that Robin had lied to them? What would become of the Titans? The city they had sworn to protect would no longer trust that they could lawfully fulfill their duties and they could possibly disband them.
Robin knew he didn't want his friend to go to jail, that's why he had lied in the first place, but did that mean he got off scot-free? He'd fought alongside Robin and the rest of the Titans for almost five years to protect the city, in that time, they'd put away more criminals than many police officers had in a lifetime. Didn't that count for something? That's not to say the Titans should have a license to kill, but shouldn't they be cut a little slack?
Robin's musings were interrupted as Cyborg opened the refrigerator.
"You want a sub Robin? I'm going to make a bunch."
"Sure." Robin replied. "Thanks."
"No problem." Cyborg grinned. "Not-so-green-bean and Raven are on their way down now. He seems ok but he looks sore."
"Don't you think you should give him a full physical?"
"I will. I thought he could use a little lunch first though." The metallic Titan looked around the common room. "Where're Starfire and Jinx?"
"Star said she was going to help Jinx pick out a room. She hasn't had lunch yet but I think she'd like a sandwich too."
"One club swimming in mustard coming up."
The double doors slid open to reveal Raven who was assisting Beast Boy. They gave a small greeting and made their way over to the couch. The pale Titan leaned up against the armrest and closed his eyes.
"So how's Mr. I-take-a-lickin'-but-keep-on-tickin' doing?" Cyborg asked.
Robin could tell that Cyborg was trying to make light of what had happened yesterday but he wasn't exactly sure he was going about it in the best way. This probably would have been how to deal with it before when Beast Boy could laugh along with him, but now it may not have been the best course of action.
"Pretty good for getting shot eleven times." He replied with still-closed eyes.
Cyborg seemed a little taken aback at his blunt response and tried to recover.
"That's good. So how about a fake food sandwich? One time offer buddy 'cause this is the only time I'm going to touch that stuff without the intention of throwing it out."
"Sounds good." He quietly murmured.
Something wasn't right about Beast Boy, his face was flushed and it looked like he was sweating a little. It didn't look like he was tired, but more like he was distracted. Could he still be in pain? He looked to Raven with a questioning expression to which she merely shrugged and began to rub the back of Beast Boy's neck.
"Lunch is up!" Cyborg happily announced. "I'll go get Star and Jinx."
Raven helped Beast Boy to the table and they quietly began to eat. Robin quickly devoured his grilled cheese sandwiched and got to work on the sub Cyborg had made him. He'd have preferred to address Beast Boy about their impending talk while he was alone, but it seemed that Raven would not be leaving his side any time soon. He was hesitant but knew he had to do it.
'Come on suck it up! If you're a leader in the good times, you have to be leader in the bad times.' He thought. 'Ok here goes noth-'
Beast Boy cut him off. "Robin? We need to talk."
His eyes were still closed and he'd only taken a few bites of his food, but it looked like he was decidedly finished.
"Uh, yea." He replied, slightly surprised.
"How about after dinner?"
:-:-:-:-:
Beast Boy knew Robin was having an internal conflict with himself. He was giving off and agitated feeling coupled with guilt; it felt a little sour with a sort of hot after effect. Of course he was agitated about confronting Beast Boy, who wouldn't be in a situation like this?
'He wants to be the leader but he shouldn't have to be.' Beast Boy thought. 'I was the one who brought all this about, I should be the one to deal with the consequences.'
"Robin?" He asked. "We need to talk."
A sudden and strong flash of concern came from his side, Raven. He knew she'd be worried about him but he still had to talk with their masked leader.
"Uh, yea."
"How about after dinner?" He suggested.
"That should do."
Cyborg, Jinx, and Starfire entered the room shortly after Robin replied. Beast Boy opened his eyes to see the new visitors, he was pretty familiar with Cyborg and Starfire's emotions, but this new feeling of awkward aloofness caught his attention. It must have been Jinx then, but what was she doing here?
'Right, she helped Raven. She saved Raven.'
He watched as she sat down at the table next to Cyborg and clumsily tried to pick up her large sandwich with her free hand. There was no hope she could manage without both hands but it appeared her other arm was immobilized in a sling.
"Jinx." He quietly said.
"Beast Boy." She replied in an equally quiet tone.
Was that fear he felt from her?
"Thank you, for what you did yesterday. You saved Raven's life."
"Yea well, I couldn't just let him kill her." She said.
He nodded his agreement and stood.
"You're hurt though." He said, stiffly walking toward her.
She backed away slightly as he approached only to be stopped by Cyborg. He gave her a reassuring smile and she relaxed, not completely though. The sight of his demon side must really have shaken her.
He knew that healing her right now could possibly be one of the dumbest things he'd ever attempted in his life, but he owed her. Had it not been for her, Raven would surely be dead now and he'd be lost. Completely and utterly lost without her. Therefore, dumbest thing in his life or not, he was going to heal her. If things got to painful for him to handle, he could always knock himself out once he got to his room.
"I know you wanted to do a physical on me but I'm feeling pretty tired. I'll heal Jinx then go take a nap." He caught Raven's concerned look and Cyborg's disapproving one. "What? You can check up on be before dinner."
Beast Boy placed his hand a few inches above the front of Jinx's shoulder and imagined the blue light. The tingling came quickly to his hands and he imagined the bullet wound she'd sustained close up and disappear without a trace. He felt the pain come quickly and steadily, it was like a single bullet had hit him dead center of the chest and was slowly, agonizingly slowly, tearing a hole directly to his heart. It hurt so much that he wanted to scream and biting his tongue was all he could do to stop one from coming. He bit down so hard that he could taste his own blood.
He dared not open his eyes for he feared that feeling any more, be it pain or simply seeing the sights around him, would drive him mad. He could vaguely hear Jinx's astonishment as he completed healing her but did his best to block it out. He didn't trust his legs to properly carry him so he quickly mumbled his magic words and hovered out the door, not saying a word of farewell to the Titans.
And that was chapter fifteen! Poor Beast Boy! He seems like such a glutton for punishment… I don't really have anything else to say but I hope you guys liked this chapter!
It took me about eight cans of coke to finish this chapter. Before you all go freaking out about how a person can actually drink eight cans of coke over the course of one chapter, know that because of my ribs, I can only sit at my computer for about forty-five minutes at a time.
And on to the reviews!
Regrem Erutaerc: Thank you very much!
Titanwolf: Thank you, I'm glad you liked them.
McDowellandkid: Yep he's safe… But for how long? FOR HOW LONG?
The Halfa Wannabe: Thanks. You raise an interesting point though… I've never considered the police's reaction to Jinx becoming a Titan… I think something up to cover that (sooner or later). Thanks for reviewing.
Phantom Moon: Thank you. I really don't know if they'll switch back. I mean, I'd like to write a sequel to this so chances are they won't switch back in this story. I'm still undecided though. Thanks for reviewing.
CalliopeMused: Ayep. I foresee a better future of this one than the last extra (I really am a Terra hater). I like Cyborg as a character, I think all the Titans play an important part in the dynamic of the team so I try to use every character, even if it is a single pairing centric fic. I'm also glad you liked the reason for the hold up with the healing, I thought I had kind of dug myself into a hole when I was writing the whole demon confrontation, but I think it came out nicely. Next chapter should be the big talk between BB and Rob so it should prove interesting. I'm not really big on gore, I have no problem reading it, but I don't think you need blood an guts to make a powerful statement. Thanks for reviewing!
wolf of raven: There have been a couple of crime free days throughout the story, but the next few days will be pretty quiet crime related. I guess we'll have to see what happens next.
Snea: Yes that rule. I hope I can get this petition filled quickly then. If this story des get deleted I will post it on the forum I mentioned in the last chapter. Yes Robin is a downer, but he's the downer with the level head. Sorry the update took so long, but thanks for reviewing!
DeadRose332: Thank you very much!
Lady Pyrefly: Thank you very much! I'm glad that you're enjoying it so far. Thanks for reviewing!
Radar O'Reily: Well I guess it depends on your definition of screwed… I'm still unsure whether they'll get there proper powers back yet. I'd like to make a sequel to this so I'm kind of doubting they will in this story (Maybe they will in the sequel). Thanks for reviewing!
the Desert Fox: Thank you. I did want them to reflect each other's personalities yet retain something of their former selves. I didn't intend for Robin to be a bastard and I hope he didn't come off that way, it's just that he seems to have such a strong sense of right and wrong that it's a little hard for him to not treat everything that way. Thanks for reviewing!
Tammy Tamborine: Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.
Payie: Thank you. Yea I see Robin that way too. I'm glad you like the way I'm putting Jinx in, I know Robin and Raven might not trust her easily after what happened the last time, but I think it would be harder for them to be suspicious when Cyborg seems to fully trust her. Sure, Beast Boy trusted Terra pretty quickly, but Cyborg is just about as levelheaded as Robin. CyxJinx has to be the best Cyborg pairing so hurra! Thanks for reviewing!
SpazztheSlob: Yep, I have the new petition out if you haven't signed it. Thanks. I think the coca cola (or as I call it 'Liquid Muse') is my secret. That coupled with my insomnia seems to get the stories written. Thanks for reviewing!
lol61188: Thanks, I hope you liked this chapter.
warprince2000: Thanks for reviewing.
Overactive Mind: I'm glad you liked it. I guess it does make sense if you look at it that way. Thanks for signing the petition, I hope you'll sign this new one as well. Thanks for reviewing!
Satu Simpson: Yea, It's hard to stay mad a Beast Boy. I know feeling bad about something doesn't make up for it, but I think Beast Boy's actions in upcoming chapters will show how he feels. I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you liked this chapter! Thanks for reviewing!
AnimationWickedRaven: Thanks, I hope you liked this one as much as the last.
Huupa: Not a problem. I hope I can get Jinx interacting with the Titans in a realistic way from here on in. Thanks for reviewing!
IGAF-kun: Thank you. I hope you liked this chapter as well. Thanks for reviewing!
acosta pérez josé ramiro: Thanks. Yep Robin is the down to earth guy. Beast Boy was actually talking to his demon side, I should have made that a little clearer. It dies seem that he's gained respect there, now he has to work on Rage. Hurra for Cyborg and Jinx! I think you may have just given me another idea for the story! I do know how I will be ending this one, but I do plan to make a sequel so I may use the Brother Blood wanting revenge on the Titans. In any case, that will be a few stories later. Thanks for reviewing!
BrokenNevermore: Yep, last chapter sure was action packed. I too am amused by the pointy eared, and green Raven and I was quit tempted to have her 'jump' Beast Boy a couple chapters back (When she did her little zone out thing. That would have been hilarious!). I am deeply sorry that I did not respond to your last review but yours was the review that my computer froze up on. After I rebooted at began writing responses again, I thought I'd done yours. I'll make sure that it never happens again, but thanks for reviewing!
Yume no Zencho: Yea. I guess this is where I'll make my stand against the establishment! I'm glad you like the last chapter and I hoped you liked this one as well. Thanks for reviewing!
Joey: Thanks. Yep I do intent to hook Jinx and Cyborg up (It may take a little while though). Thanks for reviewing.
teenyugiohpotterphantom: Hurra for Jinx! It should be interesting to see the confrontation between her and her former allies. His demon side is caring… In a demon way, but caring nonetheless. Robin is still doing his leader thing, but the next chapter should clear things up for him. I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you liked this one. Thanks for reviewing!
Rose Mage: Not a problem at all! France? How was it? I'd love to travel once I get out of college. I'm glad you like the fic so far. Thanks for reviewing!
Drow Judicator: I'm glad you like the way the story's going. Thanks for reviewing!
Wolf-blades-wings: Thank you very much!
Glen-tastic: Stupid power outages. I'm really close to buying one of those battery power bars that give you like half an hour to save and shutdown. I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you liked this one too. Thanks for reviewing!
Visigoth29527: Agreed. I'm glad you liked the conversation with the demon side. As I said before, I believe people are accountable for their actions and I believe that because of who Beast Boy is (a Titan and all around good guy), he would feel responsible knowing it was his decision to kill. I tried to have Cyborg's point of view on Jinx in this chapter. In this story line, Terra's betrayal and Trigon's domination of Earth have already passed but I think Robin is more prone to trust her because she did try to help Raven and because Cyborg trusts her. Sure, Beast Boy trusted Terra, but Cyborg is about a level headed as Robin and I think Robin would be more ready to trust his judgment on such a matter. I'm glad you like the story thus far, thanks for detailed review!
Ghost Rose: Anything but that! Thanks for reviewing!
BlackRoses4Raven: I could do the run away thing, but I'm not really sure Beast Boy would do that. Then again, you never know. Thanks for reviewing!
SxStrngSamurai13: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. Beast Boy and Robin's conversation next chapter should prove interesting indeed. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as the last. Thanks for reviewing!
doc-trigger: Thank you. I know that Robin's black and white way of looking at things seems like a pain in the neck, but he just gives me that vibe. He's going to feel a little change to his attitude in the next chapter though, he's already beginning to cast aside his way of looking at thing. I'm glad you liked the Dr. Light part. I do know how bad Coca Cola is for the human body… I thought the fact that it can dissolve a one-inch cube of stake in about a week's time proves that point quite nicely. A friend of min actually got ulcers because he drank so much of it (something like a 2 litre bottle a day). I'm a slave to it though, doomed for the day I was born because my dad has worked for Coca Cola since he was seventeen. Thanks for reviewing!
Pink-raven-rules: Thank you very much!
darktank: Not a problem at all. I'm glad you liked last chapter and I hope you liked this one, Thanks for reviewing!
superdave: I'm glad it cleared things up. I can't give away anything at the moment but I promise that next chapter will answer those questions. I agree that it's never too late to do the right thing. The police may not help out a great deal, but at least they are there to take the criminals to jail after the Titans beat them. Thanks for reviewing!
Bogbrush: If it gets deleted, I'll post it all on the forum. Thanks for reviewing!
iforgetmyname: Thank you. Yea, it's a little sad but all will be better soon. Yes, stupid court systems… Oh well, life goes on. Thanks for reviewing!
WickedWitchoftheSE: Well, babbling can often bring up valid points. I think Robin still undecided what to think of Beast Boy now, but it doesn't seem like he's going to punish him. He still does need to hear his side of the story before he knows what he's going to do. Yea, you can probably see in this and the last chapter that Robin is starting to cast aside he black and white way of looking at things; he should have a better idea what to think when he talks to Beast Boy next chapter. Thanks for reviewing!
Indome: Thank you very much!
starmay: Not a problem! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Thanks for reviewing!
Random Person: Sorry this took so long. I do plan to have more Raven transforming soon. Thanks for reviewing.
gothpoet: Sorry about leaving it off there and taking forever to update, I'll do my best to be faster with the updates. Thanks for reviewing!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story!
