Chapter Thirty-Seven: "Totally Under Control"
Beast Boy turned around and walked back to the couch, Terra sat next to him in hopes that he wouldn't go after her. Beast Boy sighed; he didn't know exactly what to do. His mind was now in a constant turmoil.
Go get her!
I can't leave Terra.
Yes you can!
No I can't!
Raven wants you to follow her.
No she doesn't. She wants to be left alone.
You promised that you'd never hurt her.
I know I did.
Then go get her.
What about Terra?
Tell her that you need to go get her before she loses control.
Beast Boy looked up at Terra. "Terra, I need to go find Raven; but before I go promise me you're not going to leave this time."
Terra seemed confused by this, "What?"
"Terra I care about you . . . a lot and I don't want you to leave. Just because I'm with Raven doesn't mean I can't still be your best friend."
"Beast Boy, I-"
"You have to mean it Terra." He looked at her as seriously as he could, "Swear it!"
"Ok, ok. I promise." Terra gave in.
"I don't want to lose you either." He got up and gave her a quick hug.
Beast Boy ran out of the tower and turned into an eagle and began his search for Raven.
"Where are you Kayla?" Raven yelled out into the darkness of the underground cave.
Slade's old layer had not been changed, except for that of a missing stone girl. Raven grew in patient.
"Come out Kayla!" She yelled out again.
"What's the matter?" Kayla hissed, acting surprised that Raven was calling her.
"Why did you bring Terra back!" Raven asked bitterly.
"I only wanted to do you a kindness." Kayla lied.
"Kindness? Kindness! What kindness is this? You brought her back to hurt me! What did I do to you?" Raven could feel her emotions losing control, but was struggling to contain them.
"You allowed Starfire to use your powers! And together you made me lose my husband!" Kayla said angrily.
"There were no rules against it. Why are you doing this?"
"Since you took away my future husband, I'm taking away your precious boyfriend." Kayla smirked.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven shouted and attempted to catch Kayla in her powers.
Kayla simply turned into her invisible-like state. She laughed at Raven's attempt.
"Come now Raven, you didn't really think he loved you did you?" Kayla laughed.
"Shut up!" Raven cried.
"I bet there in her room right now making out and talking about how they used you." Kayla continued.
Raven picked up some rocks and through them at Kayla. None of them did anything to her.
"He doesn't even like you."
"He does too!" Raven tried to fight back her emotions.
"Oh does he? Where is he Raven? Did he follow you here?" Kayla glanced around and looked at Raven who was at a breaking point, "I guess not. He's not here Raven. He promised you that he wouldn't hurt you."
"Just because he isn't here doesn't mean that he's going to leave me!" Raven tried to keep Kayla's words from hurting her.
"Come on Raven. Look at you, you're standing in the same place Terra was only hours ago. You're here alone and you're losing control." She smiled.
"My emotions are under control." Raven stated emotionless.
"Is that so?" Kayla looked as if she was thinking, "Then why are you here Raven? Why are you here all alone?"
"Be quiet Kayla." Raven warned.
"Face it Raven," Kayla said in a seriously angered voice, "He lied to you. He never liked you, let alone loves you. He loves Terra and you knew that, but you fell for him anyway."
Don't listen to her!
Raven stop and think about the facts.
Kick her shadow butt!
Raven think of the good times you've had.
Raven she's lying.
I'm sorry Raven.
Raven-
Raven-
Raven-
Raven-
Raven-
Raven-
"NO!" Raven cried out.
She was losing control, and her emotions began tearing her apart. Four red eyes burst open and she was surrounded by red flames.
"My work here is done." Kayla smirked knowing she accomplished her mission.
She disappeared into the shadows, leaving Raven fuming and out of control.
Beast Boy burst in and saw Raven engulfed in flames, he saw by her eyes that she had lost control.
"No." he whispered.
Raven saw him and grabbed him with a claw of flames. He struggled to get free.
"YOU!" she shouted in an evil voice.
"Raven let me go!" Beast Boy cried out.
"You lied to me!" she continued.
"Raven you're hurting me." Beast Boy struggled.
"You used me! You told me you loved me!" Raven hissed.
Beast Boy stopped struggling and looked into Raven's eyes. "Raven I didn't lie to you." He said seriously.
"You used me to get to Terra!"
"No I didn't Raven! If I wanted to be with Terra I wouldn't be here right now. I love you Raven, I love you! Why else would I be here?"
