(A/N: YAY! I've finally finished this chapter. It took me forever. But, I like it a lot. I hope you guys like it just as much!)
Robin fought with all of his might, but was unable to even wound the harpy. She always managed to come out unscathed. He needed a new plan; he needed a new way to fight her. Then he saw a flash of green in the air far, far away. Starfire! Robin thought as he dodged one of the harpy's attacks. Then, he turned tail and ran in the direction of the starbolts he had seen in the air. If he could get to her, maybe they would have a chance to defeat these Harpies of Havoc.
Robin grinned at his luck as he saw a motorcyclist standing by his bike, starting to put on his helmet. "I need to borrow this." Robin demanded as he jumped onto the bike and grabbed the helmet out of the motorcyclist's hands. He then turned the key that was already in the bike and heard its steady hum. "I'll bring it back in a while." Robin reassured before he hit the gas and drove out of the parking lot and down the street.
"You cannot escape me, Titan!" the harpy shrieked as she flew swiftly after Robin. But his bike was too fast. He would reach Starfire before the harpy could attack again. Why she was too slow, Robin did not know. He had experienced her incredible speed; his heart had leapt into his chest as the wind flew past him like a hurricane. She should be fast enough, but she wasn't, not this time.
Cyborg fired at the harpy continuously. He wanted to see her get hit. He wanted to see her bleed. He wanted to see her in pain; the kind of pain she had brought to him by bringing up his nightmares. She didn't attack him; she only dodged his attacks with ease. Every time he missed, he got angrier and angrier. Every time she didn't attack, he wished she would, so he could kill her without guilt. Then he stopped himself. No, he told himself killing is too much. Just make her hurt. With that, he attacked again. Then he heard a beep from his arm. Was his sonic cannon running out of power already? No. He had located Robin.
Cyborg fired again and was astonished to find he had hit her. The harpy shrieked in anger and cursed loudly. This was his chance. Cyborg turned around and ran towards Robin. If he could keep the harpy away long enough for him to regroup, he could no doubt defeat this harpy from hell. He just had to get to Robin… he just needed a little bit of help.
Then, he located Raven and pulled his arm up, talking into the communicator, "Raven! Follow my coordinates! I've found Robin. We've gotta regroup!"
What he heard in reply to his order horrified him. "No." He couldn't believe it. What had this harpy done to make Raven so mad? He could hear the malice in her voice. "I will deal with this on my own."
"Just be careful." He said with a sigh. He knew he couldn't convince her to come with him. When her anger took over, nobody could convince her to do anything. He had seen her anger and hate; and nothing could win against it. He just hoped she would be alright.
Raven flew backwards, out of the harpy's way and shouted back at Cyborg through her communicator, "I will deal with this on my own." She then threw the communicator aside and flew forward at the harpy. She heard Cyborg's voice say something else, but pushed it out of her mind as she threw her hands back, "Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos!" She pushed the harpy backwards and threw her into a wall.
Raven felt Anger surge through her, but she didn't let it take control. She closed her eyes and forced the red hot anger back a little. She only needed enough anger to fight, not as much as Anger wanted her to release. She threw the harpy into the ground and then up into the air. She swung her arms around and the harpy flew into a building, leaving a huge hole in the third story.
Raven released the harpy and watched with slight satisfaction as the purple harpy fell to the ground. When the harpy rose, she laughed, "It's just as well that you'd attack me like this. Can you feel it? Are you loosing control yet?" Raven threw three already dented dumpsters at the harpy. She dodged out of the way and the dumpsters crashed into the sidewalk. "It's just as well that your friends betray you… after all, you did betray them… didn't you?" Raven flew forwards and threw the harpy back. "You knew some day you would cause the end of the world, but you still befriended them. You made their prophesized demise even harder. And, even though you managed to fight through it… It isn't the end."
The harpy flew forward at Raven and grinned mockingly, "You will betray them again. Do you know why?" Raven flew away from the harpy and turned, attacking again. The harpy dodged and answered her own question, "Because you are your father's daughter. And you will follow in his footsteps. You will be evil."
"ENOUGH!" Raven shouted, finally loosing control. This harpy was evil. She was the source of all hate. She caused havoc. She could not talk to Raven like this. She would pay. She would wish she was dead. Then, Raven would grant her wish. Raven would tear the harpy apart. This woman would die.
Beast Boy ran through the streets, his beagle's nose close to the ground, try to find Raven. Something was wrong, he could feel it. His senses perked up as he caught Raven's scent. Beast Boy ran forward, pushing his cheetah form hard. He had to reach her. He ran for what seemed an hour, but was probably only a few minutes. He knew he was close, but he didn't know how much longer he could last. Although cheetahs were fast, they couldn't run for a long time.
His muscles started to hurt and he morphed into a hawk. He flew through the air at alarming speed and glanced up. He saw a woman dressed in purple with purple, bat-like wings flying through the air. A black force field surrounded her and Beast Boy knew, he had found Raven.
Landing by Raven, Beast Boy rushed forward shouting, "Raven stop!" She released the harpy and let her fly through the air. Raven turned around slowly and looked up at Beast Boy. Her four bright red eyes frightened Beast Boy, but he wouldn't let it stop him. He took a step forward and begged, "Raven, please. That's enough." And as soon as he said he, he could tell, she knew he was right.
Tears formed in Raven's eyes and she collapsed forward. Beast Boy moved quickly and caught Raven in his arms. She buried her head in his shoulder and started to cry, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." Beast Boy consoled, slowly lowering the both of them to the ground. His arms were wrapped around her waist, her hands gripping his shirt as she cried. "It's okay." He said again. "Everything will be okay."
She sniffed and pulled back, her two violet eyes looking sorrowfully into his emerald eyes. "How do you know?" She asked in a whisper.
"Because," Beast Boy said just as gently, "I love you."
"Oh Beast Boy," Was all Raven said as she leaned into him, wrapping her arms around his neck into a soft, affectionate hug. Beast Boy hugged her tightly. He didn't want to let go of her. It felt so good to have her know. And it felt even better to have her return this affection. And he realized: everything was going to be okay. For once, everything felt perfect.
