Reaching Out for Heaven

There's 2 parts where only Beast Boy and Cyborg are involed, and that part is not Terra's point of view.


Feeling, Date, Jealousy

All the Titans seemed to be talking about why the alarm went when no one was here, but Raven was strangely looking towards me.

Could she see me?

Raven stretched her hands further to try and feel something. I stepped back. Raven continued to walk forward. I had the sick urge to turn back and run.

"Raven? What are you doing?"

Raven's determined eyes changed into a confused ones, dropped her arm to her side and looked at the Titans.

"Um... nothing..."

"That didn't seem nothing to me."

"I just thought... nevermind. It's only my eyes playing tricks on me."

"Okay... but that was a false alarm."

"I know."

They continued to talk some more.

They don't seem to know that I was here, well, maybe except Raven. She seems to think that something was here: me. but she doesn't know it's me.

I can't help but wonder... If Raven can't see me, could she feel my presence? I would probably say yes, considering her demonic herritage, and her power of the 'soul self'.

Then all five of them went back to their buisness. Beast Boy and Cyborg went back to play gamestation, Starfire wentto feed this maggot mutant worm whom she calls, "Silkie", Robin went back training, and Raven went to her room. Out of curiosity, I followed her.

"Yo! You can't do that!"

"I can, I will, and I'm gonna win!"

"Oh yeah you little grass stain? Beat this!"

"Dude! You think a little nitro will do the trick? Hi-YA!"

"Nooo! You crashed my car! How'd you do that?"

"That, my mechanical friend, is for me to know, and for you to NEVER EVER find out."

"Yeah! Well I'm going to way!"

"Yes way!"

"Not if I beat you first!"

"No fair! You got the head start - AND you turned into a cheetah!"

"Rawr!"

Thr green cheetah and half machine ran into Cyborg's room, where they were fighting for the computer. Eventually they both gave up, and decided to share.

"Dude?"

"Yeah?"

"When did we startto share?"

"... wanna fight again?"

"No thanks, I'm tired."

They both got millions of different cheatcodes to play against each other, but then Cyborg asked a question.

"Beast Boy?"

"Yeah?"

"You know how you like Raven and - "

"DUDE! Not so loud!"

Beast Boy covered Cyborg's mouth and hunched into a corner.

"But the whole team knows already!"

"WHHHAT!"

"Except Raven, of course."

"Great..." Beast Boy smacked his forehead. "Did you tell?"

"No, actually, you're showing them hints off like fireworks."

"Hints!"

"Flirting."

"What!"

"But don't worry. If love was red, then Raven would be colourblind." reassured Cyborg to his best friend. Beast Boy groaned. "Anyways, you know your... "date" with Raven is today, right?"

"TODAY! What day is it!"

"July 15 - "

"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT! HOW COULD'VE I FORGOTTEN?" Beast Boy leaped up and panicked. "Aaah! What am I gonna wear! Where'sher present! Where arethe flowers!"

Cyborg chuckled.

Raven lighted candles to illuminate her room. She took off her cloak and placed on her bed.

I sighed, and walked towards her, slowly. But in the process, one of her statues wobbled and fell, crashing on the floor.

Raven jolted, and sent a zap of power towards me. The black aura of power went through me, and yet, it stung me and sparked. Raven gasped.

"Who are you?"

Busted!

"Who are you?" She said again... if she's trying to make me talk, it ain't happening. I fell silent.

"I'm warning you, if you do not wish to reveal yourself, I will have to do so painfully."

I immediately ran out of the room.

"What are you laughing about! I going on a date with the most 'off-limit' girl in the universe! She'll skin me alive if I act like a fool!"

"You idiot!" Cyborg continued to laugh. "I knew you'd forget, so I did all the preparations for you already!"

"Huh?"

Cyborg opened a door behind his wall, something Beast Boy never saw before. Inside, was a black suit still concealed in plastic, red roses wrapped in a black ribbon, and a black box - with nothing inside.

"I figured that, well, you know, since it's your date, you get the present. Sorry buddy."

"Sorry? Are you mad? You just saved my life Cyborg! Thanks a lot man!" Beast Boy leaped on top of Cyborg, turned into a bear, and gave him a hug.

"Woah! You shouldn't hug me! Remember that your girl is Raven!"

Beast Boy turned back into a human.

"Thank you thank you thankyou Cyborg! I owe you, BIG TIME!"

"Eh, no prob. Now, get ready! Ieven changedmy T-Car into a T-Limo, so you'll ride in first-class!"

"Thanks alot pal! You did so much for me... so that's why you won't let anyone see the T-Car, right?"

"No duh! Now, you only have about an hour to buy her the present! Hurry up before sen set!"

"You're right! Thanks a lot man!"

"Your welcome."

Beast Boy ran out of Cyborg's room and into his room. I passed by, and followed him. He went rumaging under his bed, and found a yellow box. He opened it, and there was a bundle of money. I bet over a billion! I never knew he was filthy rich! Wow!

He then opened a large photo album with a black raven across it. Thousands of pictures of Raven were in in: Raven fighting, meditating, eating, sleeping - but Beast Boy pulled out one picture. Raven smiling.

"For luck." He kissed the picture, and then put it back into his album.

He straped the box onto his back, turned into an eagle, and flew out the window.

I stood there, wishing I didn't see that. And I'm jealous.

He never did that for me when we were close. He never took pictures of me and put it into a personal album like that. He never put so much preparation into out date. He never went out with a billion bucks and got me a present - well, he did, but I found out that he got it from the dollar store.

He never loved me the way he loves Raven.

Beast Boy is mine, no one elses. Especially Raven. Beast Boy's heart belong to me. Only me. And when I'm gone, he belongs with no one. Especially Raven.

So, if Beast Boy likes Raven, I'll have to break his heart.

And I'll have to destroy Raven as well.

And nothing will stop me.


Terra's so jealous that she forgets all about why she's a ghost.

Oh well. Things will get better though.
