Ok bear with me on this, but this song is pretty long (no it's not the one that I was talking about earlier. This song I made up, I think. Unless subconsciously I've heard it before). I'm sorry if it is too long, but please, this story is to good to hate it for some long song. LOL
Anyways. Enjoy the story, even if the song is to long. And please, feel free to review.

Hours later, when Starfire and Robin were in the infirmary, Cyborg came in to check on them. They were both badly injured, and he couldn't help but say, "I knew we shouldn't have trusted that green freak."
"Don't say that," Raven countered, as if she was trying to protect him. What was the use? "Look at this Rae!" Cyborg replied, "He took out half the team. We don't even know if they'll make it!" "We'll pull through this, just like before. We always have, this is no exception." Raven said.
"That's all fine and dandy, but we don't exactly have a reason to go on." Cyborg said in remorse. "Don't say things like that." Raven said.
Cyborg looked down. He didn't have anything else to say. "Let's blame Slade, like we always do. He is the one that's turning us all against each other." Raven continued. "Yeah. . .Let's do that." Cyborg said, not really paying attention.
For the next few days, Starfire nor Robin awoke from their wounds. Robin had a concussion, and was most likely in a coma. Starfire, who had it even worse, as if that was possible, was recovering blood that she lost so much off.
Both of the two standing Titans were dazed. It seemed, to them, that their worlds had came crashing in. The once lovable, adorable green changeling, had left to become a faithless, mindless slaughterer.
"Raven, please play some games with me." Cyborg implored. "Well. . .Ok." Raven said, who was even out of character after the incident. They played, but neither was paying attention to it. They were busy in their own thoughts.
Cyborg won, as usual, and said, "Boo. . .yah. . ." as if he was sad that he won. He missed getting up in Beast Boy's face after winning a game like this. He put the controller down and said, "Maybe I should get working on my car, huh?" Cyborg asked. When there was no answer from our Goth friend whom we know and love, Cyborg said, "I'll see you in a little bit then."
Raven decided to go back to the infirmary. Robin awoke, in a stunned manner, and looked around the room, bemused when his eyes laid on Starfire. "What's going on?" He asked when he understood that he and Starfire were both on beds.
"So, you're finally awake." Raven announced. "Well, yeah. What happened?" Robin asked. "Don't you remember?" Raven asked, "You were conked on the head by a hammer of some sort." "No, I guess not." Robin replied, "So what happened to Star?" "We're not sure, but it wasn't long after you were smacked on the head did Beast Boy get to her too." Raven clarified.
"What? Beast Boy did this!" Robin said, "When I get my hands on that traitor!" "Calm down Robin, Starfire's still recovering." Raven reassured. "I'm going to-" "Lay back in that bed and get some more rest. You aren't strong enough yet to get up and about Robin." Raven said.
Robin, reluctantly, lain back on the bed and slept. Raven stayed the night in the infirmary, while Cyborg went to his room and slept.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You didn't finish them," Slade stated when Beast Boy returned. "What?" Beast Boy asked. "They all survived, thanks to your insolence." Slade confirmed with his trusty computer. "That's imposable, there's no way Starfire could've survived with that much blood loss. I know I let Raven-" "I don't care what reasons you have for letting any of them live." Slade murmured, scathing Beast Boy.
"You shouldn't have let any of them live." Slade said, relaxing himself in his chair. Beast Boy went to his bedroom. Slade said, before he left, "Next time, make sure they die, all of them!" He nodded, and slept in his residence for the night.
The next day, after Beast Boy's tofu eggs and tofu pancakes, as if some things ever change, and prepared for another day of intense training. "There will be no training today Beast Boy," Slade stated, as if reading his mind.
"So what are we going to do?" Beast Boy asked. "Well. . .I was thinking. Let's set a trap for them," Slade grinned evilly. "Great!" Beast Boy suggested, "Let's use their powers against them." "Now you're thinking like a true mastermind." Slade smirked.
So they set off, making their traps for the what was left of the Teen Titans. There were four traps in all made, one for each of the titans. The first one, for Cyborg, was an electric cage. It was just big enough to fit him inside of it. They tied it to a metal wire, a very good conductor, tied it to the location for Cyborg when he'd step in it.
The second trap was for Robin. He would be facing off the notorious stealer, Red X. Red X joined Slade in his quest for vengeance, after Trigon tricked him. Slade had recovered his skin and all, but he still had scars that couldn't be repaired thanks to Robin and his crew.
The timing was off, He had had gotten his skin back the second Trigon was defeated, and it was all to soon. Therefore, Slade needed revenge.
Red X would ensnare Robin in a pool flooded with Alligators and Sharks. Furthermore, when he fell, Red X would press a button, and a dome would cover, and trap Robin from getting out. To make sure Robin doesn't get out, there was a second button to set the dome on fire, even as it was closing. This would ensure them that Robin was trapped.
The third trap was for Starfire, our loving tamaran. She could throw star bolts and if there's one thing Beast Boy knew about Starfire, she couldn't take an emotional stress. If Beast Boy could push her into crying, she could be subdued.
The fourth trap was for the person of his dreams. This one, he was unsure he could do. It wasn't because she could break free, but he found that his mind couldn't take much of doing this. He finished the trap. It was nothing more than a belt the had a green glow to it. It would turn to a red glow and then, Raven would be unable to use her powers.
It took them all of about two hours to complete the traps. The three of them chuckled as their victory was at hand. Slade needed one more thing to do, so they all waited as he was to work on his final task.
The two, Red X and Beast Boy, resumed their conversation when Slade left. "So you think they'll fall for it?" "Definitely!" Beast Boy said. Beast Boy, again, wore Slade's uniform. However, Red X did not. "I never expected you to turn on the Teen Titans." Red X stated. "I never expected you to work for Slade," Beast Boy replied.
"Sorry, but this is for me not him." Red X said. "Oh really?" Beast Boy asked. "Yeah, I'm getting paid handsomely for working for him. That's all I care about." Red X declared. Beast Boy sighed as he lain back on his new couch. Red X sat in the seat across from them.
Red X turned on the tube and watched TV. The hours seemed to pass. Soon, Beast Boy fell asleep. When he next awoke, it was to a radio playing music. It was from an anonymous writer, which was unusual, since they never played anonymous music.
"Like it?" Slade asked as he came back in the room with the music box. Beast Boy leaned forward to catch a good glimpse of the radio. It started out like this: (I hope this isn't music that's already been recorded)
"I need to"
"kill all you"
"The pain inside of me"
"Is all that I need"
"Don't you care?"
"Fine then, just the nightmares"
"Wow. . .That's a pretty good song," Red X said sarcastically. "Whatever. . ." Beast Boy said. "It gets better," Slade considered.
"Want more, come on I'll share"
"I'll share the pain in side of me"
"Can't you believe and see and breath"
"The fresh air the freshness of death"
"Lying here dieing here it's all that I want"
"Of you so just come on down and for some fun"
"Come on down just for some fun"
"Yeah, Yeah. Step up, Break up"
"Come up, Can't you see"
"Nothing here is what I want it's not fair"
"I dare"
"I cared"
"You ensnared me You loved me"
"You praised me you nurtured me for all time and to be"
"So don't just walk on out"
"I won't be around"
"When you leave because,"
"I must I fuss"
"Don't care, not fair"
"Nightmares"
"Wow. . ." Red X said, finally interested in the music. Beast Boy actually could beat to this music. Slade set the boom box down on the counter and grabbed something to eat. He bobbed his head back and forth as if enthralled by it.
Beast Boy relaxed a bit more, letting the music move him. It was quite exhilarating.
"It gnaws at the back of my mind"
"I don't care I ain't lyin'"
"All I need is you"
"I know I cared for you"
"I liked you I loved you"
"Tell me something new"
"I joke around"
"I'm not bound"
"I cared. Yeah, Yeah"
"Step up, Break up"
"Come up, Can't you see?"
"Nothing here is what I want it's not fair"
"I dare"
"I cared"
"You ensnared me you loved me"
"You praised me you nurtured me for all times to be"
"I thought you'd wait"
"I thought you'd take"
"My heart and shape it"
"For heaven's sake"
"Jesus, Bu-leavers"
"I wanted to kill you"
"I wanted to smother you"
"Leave out leave behind (leave out leave behind)"
"Talk about the sun and the stars and what I may find (may find)"
"So for one last time (one last time) your blind your kind (your kind)"
"Don't you mind, don't you hide (don't you hide)"
"I know you want me to"
"I know you need me too"
"I know you like me, you love me, you care for me, you don't want this"
"You aren't ready you aren't steady, but you can't miss"
"You can't hiss you can't tear me break me away"
"You can't fight me, You can't bite me"
"I know you don't want to, so just bear with me"
"Just stand right there"
"Don't worry, I care"
"Yeah, Yeah. Step up, Break up."
"Come on, can't you see"
"Nothing here is what I want it's not fair (not fair)"
"I dare (I dare)"
"I cared (I cared)"
"You ensnared me you loved me"
"You praised me you nurtured me for all times and to be"
"Come to me (me) (me) (me) (me)"
The song finally finished. "That was a. . ." Beast Boy thought out loud, "A pretty good piece. Pretty long, but pretty good." "I thought so as well," Red X exclaimed. "Thank you," Slade said. "You made it?" Beast Boy asked. "Yes. Yes I did," Slade said.
Meanwhile, Raven was listening to the same music on the radio, and it seemed to fit how she felt, at least the very end of it. Little did she know, that the very next day, might be her last.
