Chapter Thirty-Nine: "Awakening"

Everyone looked at each other; they all shared the same feelings and concerns for both their friends. Starfire walked over to Robin.

"We can not sit by and do nothing. We must assist." Starfire directed to Robin.

"Star, I don't know. Right now all we can do is make sure that Beast Boy and Raven are ok." Robin looked up at her.

"Raven . . ." Beast Boy mumbled. " . . . Terra . . ."

Terra stepped closer to him. "I'm here Beast Boy, I'm here." She smiled. She took her left hand and brushed it against his cheek.

--In Raven's Mind--

"Where am I? Where's Beast Boy?" Raven asked, getting up off the floating piece of rock.

"You're in your mind and Beast Boy is well, I'm not sure." Love replied, standing before her.

"Where are the others?" Raven asked, looking around.

"I don't know." Love said bluntly.

"What do you mean you don't know? You all are always together when I come." Raven expressed, emotionless.

"Well not this time." Love shot back. "Raven, why did you do this?"

"Do what?" Raven asked, brushing dirt away from her arms and legs.

"Let Kayla get to you." Love said sadly.

Raven shot her an angry glance, "She didn't get to me."

Love stomped a couple feet away and turned on her heals. "Yes you did." She through her hands out when she yelled this out.

"No she didn't!" Raven yelled back.

"You know what Raven. I love Beast Boy." She laughed for a few seconds, nervously. "And you know what? You're not going to be able to control me." She walked up to Raven. "I'm going to over power your butt and fight to keep him by our side." Love looked at her with both hurt and seriousness in her eyes.

Raven was left speechless, and with that Love disappeared.

"Where are you Love?" Raven shouted emotionless.

"She's not happy." Logic stated. "And neither am I."

"Logic what's going on?" Raven asked.

"You're unconscious and Beast Boy's in a life or death situation." Logic said sadly.

"I'm what?" Her eyes got bigger, "What happened to Beast Boy?"

"Don't you remember?"

"No."

"You knocked him out unconscious and you were going to smash him with a giant boulder. I don't even know if he's alive." Logic started walking away.

"Wait. Why can't I get out of my mind?"

"You tell me Raven. You're the one trapped in here." She began walking away, but stopped and turned around, "You should try to find out quickly, otherwise Rage will take over again."

"Beast Boy, wake up. Please wake up." Terra whispered softly into his ear.

"Terra, I think you should get some sleep." Cyborg smiled weakly.

"I can't." Terra replied instantly.

"Yes you can. Come on, you're room is still in the same place." He rested his hand on her shoulder.

"Beast Boy please be ok." She whispered as she walked out of the infirmary with Cyborg.

Cyborg escorted Terra to her room. She walked in to find that it had been untouched, well almost untouched.

"The only one who came in here was Beast Boy. You can tell cuz the bed has some green dog hair." He paused, "Well, I'll let you get some sleep. 'Night."

Terra stood before her door and watched Cyborg walk away. She let out a sigh and walked in. Memories began to flood her mind.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay, well nice talking to you.

I kinda…made you something.

You did?

Yeah. Went a little crazy with the glue gun.

Beast Boy…it's…I don't know what to say.

You could say yes, 'cause I'm about to ask you out on a date.

Oh…wow.

So want to do something tomorrow night?

Tomorrow…I…I'm sorry, Beast Boy, I can't.

But-

I just can't.

Um…okay…maybe some other time?

She sighed and sat on her couch. How could I have done those horrible things? If I hadn't left with Slade I could be with Beast Boy right now. She groaned in frustration. Well, at least I'm here now. Maybe they won't stay together, maybe it won't work out. She smiled at the thought as she stretched out on the couch and fell asleep.

Robin went searching for Starfire when he found her in the infirmary. She was sitting in between Raven and Beast Boy. Robin walked up to her.

"Hey Starfire-" He began.

"Robin I am not tired. I wish to remain here with them." Starfire stopped him.

"Come on Star. They'll be fine. If anything happens the alarms will go off and Cyborg will tell us what's up. Come on." He held out his hand for her to take.

Starfire looked at his hand and back at her friends. She sighed and took it. They walked hand in hand and he led her to the main operations room.

"What are we doing in here?" Starfire asked.

"Cuddling." He smiled.

They sat down on the couch and snuggled up against each other for warmth. They didn't notice that Keyda was watching them. She quickly disappeared into the shadows and appeared in Cyborg's room.

Keyda walked over to Cyborg and layed against him. Cyborg was sitting at his desk chair in his room and had a quizzical look on his face.

"Umm . . . Keyda . . . what are you doing?" Cyborg asked, holding her at arms length.

"Is this not called cuddling? I saw Robin and Starfire do this." She smiled nervously.

Cyborg chuckled. "I don't think you can do that with a half man half machine." He frowned.

"Why not?" She asked.

"Because it wouldn't be comfortable." He sighed.

"Oh. May I stay in here with you? I'm not use to being alone, in the shadow realm no one is ever alone, it's quiet crowded." She asked innocently.

"Sure thing. I don't need sleep much anyway." He smiled, thankful that he had someone to talk to. "So why'd you decide to come here with us?"

"I wanted to learn more about you." Keyda smiled, walking and observing all of his things.

"Ah, I see. You wanted to learn more about how we operate huh?" He smiled. "Ya, you'll find that we're pretty cool."

Keyda looked at him with a strange look, "No, I meant to learn more about you, Cyborg."

Cyborg looked up, "Me?"

"Yes, you're very fascinating. I like you."

"You like me?" Cyborg asked, more to himself then her.

"Yes." She looked away.

Cyborg's arm began blinking with a red screen. He pressed a couple of buttons and yelled into his arm, "Titans get to the infirmary!" He ran out with Keyda on his heels.

They all met up in the infirmary, including Terra.

"Report!" Robin shouted as he ran in.

Raven's eyes fluttered open and she sat up instantly. She glanced at everyone's face, but studied Terra's when she looked at her.

"Where's Beast Boy?" Raven asked instantly.

"Right now you need to tell us what happened and why you were fighting Beast Boy." Robin demanded.
