"Beastboy?" squeaked Terra, her eyes starting to tear up as her lips quivered. The mental blonde was confused. This was the second time Beastboy had gotten angry with her when she confronted that stupid empath! Did he actually like her? No! He couldn't! He loved her. But...Raven was in her body, maybe Beastboy just got confused!
'No, he didn't get confused. He knew.' muttered the distinct voice of truth in the back of Terra's mind.
"Don't you dare take that innocent little girl tone with me." Growled Beastboy, clenching his fists so tightly that his slightly elongated fingernails started to dig into his green skin, "Since this whole body-swapping thing, you've been harassing Raven. First about being in her body, then about her reprimanding you on letting go of your emotions, and now because I kissed her."
Terra gasped, eyes wide, making the Beast in Garfield sneer in disgust at the dramatized 'bullshit'. Raven's heart had leapt at his last statement, causing another shattering sound to issue from her room. The girl cringed, and, in sheer embarassment, hid her face in her hands as she attempted to rope in her emotions and keep them under control.
Beastboy glanced over at Raven, hearing the shattering sound, and let a soft grin actually flicker across his lips, knowing the cause, before turning his eyse back to Terra. The grin slowly faded as he calmed down his Beast, "Yes, you heard me right, I kissed her. And no, I wasn't confused, or mislead to think it was you. I knew it was Raven."
"B-but..you love me. Me!" stammered Terra, feeling a tear start to roll down her cheek. The girl made extravagant gestures to herself, as if emphasizing the point would make it true.
The green-eyed young man stared into those baby blue eyes he once adored and drooled over. Then he glanced over at the blonde-haired body, currently inhabited by his, yes his, Raven. Shaking his head, Beastboy realized now that only little feelings from the past were what lingered in his heart.
"No. I loved you. But now..." Beastboy let his eyes trail to Raven, and he smiled softly, "I lo--"
"Don't say it!" Shrieked Terra maniacally, covering her ears with her hands. She shook her head, thinking about how everything was changing. How everything had changed. No! Beastboy was the one thing in her life that loved her, the one thing that didn't change when she was stone. At least that's what she thought.
'This is all Raven's fault!' hissed a jealous voice in Terra's mind, causing the girl to glance over at the empath and glare. 'Yes, it is her fault. She's spent all this time with Beastboy, making moves while I was stone. This is her fault. Her fault that he despises me. If she was out of the picture, he'd love me again. Like he used to.'
Anger and rage started to meld into fury in Terra's heart. Her eyes turned a deep gold, and she let out a battle cry as a huge boulder came flying through the cieling, straight for Raven. However, the empath was quick on the uptake, and quickly put her hands up, making her black aura form a shield to protect her from the rock.
With anger blurring her sight, and fogging her mind, Terra kept slamming the rock against Raven's shield, knowing sooner or later the empath would have to back down. They'd fought against one another once before, and Terra had win.
Yet, that was when Beastboy was still hopelessly head-over-heels for Terra, and when no other Titans were around to help their empathetic friend. However, here and now, the other Titans had come to see what the ruckus was about.
Cyborg almost short-circuited when he saw the hole in his precious tower, and Robin just stared, mouth agape at the scene. Starfire was the only one, quick to help.
"Terra, stop!" Shrieked the red-headed alien, speeding toward the girl just as anger over took Beastboy. With the force of both a flying Starfire, and a pouncing pissed-off Beastboy, Terra was knocked into a wall just as Raven lost her concentration on her powers. Hearing the soft curse from Raven, Beastboy spun on his heel, seeing the rock hang in mid-air for a second before starting to plummet toward Raven.
"Raven!" Yelled Beatboy, as the boulder slammed onto Raven. His eyes widened, and fear caused his heart to jump into his throat from fear. He looked around wildly, hoping Raven had used her dark magic to phase through the wall. Anything! Just as long as she was safe.
From the double tackle, Terra was unconscious, with Starfire hovering over Terra a bit worried. Cyborg and Robin were still too shocked to be able to register anything. Beastboy yelled out Raven's name again, a tinge of fear starting to filter into it. Just as he thought he was going to snap, a calm voice muttered besides him, "Don't yell, I'm right here."
Green eyes snapped to his side, where Raven stood with her usual expression adorning her face. A huge grin fell over Beastboy's lips as he quickly wrapped the empath in a strong embrace. Happiness swam through his viens as he held her tightly to his chest. Beastboy felt Raven squirm in his grip, but only grinned more when she leaned in, instead of pulled away.
Nothing could ruin this moment. Raven was happy. Beastboy was happy. Robin and Cyborg were speechless, and Starfire was giggling. And best of all, Terra was unconscious.
Of course, reality has a way of reminding people that life isn't like a fairytale. For at that moment a moderately huge chunk of debris fell from the cieling onto changling and empath, knocking both out into the cold, yet warm, arms of Unconscoiusness.
