The winner is...drum roll please...is Ifartinurdirection also known as Pheonix! Hooray! The answer was that Terra died six months before this took place! Yay thanks for all who perticipated! Now on with the story!
Purgatory
Chapter Three: Belief In The Dead
Faith:
1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
3. Loyalty to a person or thing.
4. A set of principles or beliefs.
"A…a ghost," Beast Boy stuttered, absolutely shocked. He had figured her to be a figment of his insanity or something, but a ghost? He had a strange feeling that Ashton Kutcher was standing behind his door and about to tell him he was punk'd.
Raven only nodded her head, her hair shifting over her shoulder while softly curling to frame her face.
"Could you repeat that?" He gasped, his whole body shaking in disbelief. Raven scoffed, and glared at him.
"You're not deaf, Beast Boy." She said in an annoyed tone, crossing her arms across her chest. He smiled slightly, and Raven realized he had tricked her to see if she was real…and not an enemy's henchmen. "You're smarter than you look, BB." She said, a smile in her voice, though her face remained blank.
"I just wanted to make sure death didn't do anything to your sense of humor." He said smiling a bit and making his eyes squint so that they were nearly closed from being swollen. Raven nodded and noticed that Beast Boy hadn't relaxed from his first tense position. 'He still doesn't believe me.'
"I told you I didn't want to go to the beach." Raven said jerking the conversation around so fast it made Beast Boy's eyes widen.
He stared blankly at her, "Huh?"
"I told you I didn't want to go, but you had to go and make that stupid kitten face." She screwed up her face in annoyance. Beast Boy blinked, and then, grinned. His body immediately relaxed. Then, what she fully said hit him. His face became grave once more.
"I'm sorry," he whispered while staring intently at his messy floor. Raven tilted her head and shook it. She walked slowly up to him and went to put a hand to his shoulder. She stopped just above his skin, in sudden remembrance. She pulled her hand back like he had stung it. Then, she glared hatefully at it. Beast Boy watched her in concern. She finally wanted to touch him, to comfort him, and now, she couldn't. His eyes softened immediately and filled with guilt felt tears.
"It's my entire fault, Raven." He whispered, staring at her clear hand. "I should have never forced you into going to the beach. I should have just left you alone, but I was too stubborn to. God, I'm so sorry." He spoke, as his voice chocked up.
"No," Raven said harshly, whipping him back to reality. Her eyes had the ferocious gleam to them that Beast Boy only saw when one of their friends was threatened. "It wasn't your fault, Beast Boy. It was no one's fault. You need to believeinyourself, not blame yourself! Besides, we're getting nowhere in helping me." Beast Boy blinked.
"What was it you needed help with anyway?" Beast Boy asked, scratching the back of his head.
Raven shifted awkwardly and began to chew on her lower lip, a habit that she had long lost. She then began to tell Beast Boy everything that had happened, starting from the very beginning, when she died. She told him about Purgatory, Saint Patrick, Aida, and then, she got to the deal.
He blushed a bright red color as she told him her conditions. "So, let me get this straight," he started as his ears began to match the color of his flushed face. "You've made a deal with the Saint of Purgatory, that if someone loves you, even your demon side, then he'll give you back your life?" Beast Boy stared at her in wonder.
Raven knew that if she wasn't a ghost rightnow, she would have been blushing worse than BB was right now. But since she was one, no blush came, yet because of habit; she pulled up her hood, making her look more like the grim reaper than her usual self. Beast Boy smiled slightly when he realized the reason she had covered up.
"It was a stupid deal!" She told him tonelessly, while turning away from him. "But it gave me a month to say my good byes…well, try at least, since the others can't see me."
"Wait," Beast Boy cut in. Raven only stared at him in silence, waiting for him to continue. He looked furious, and she had only seen him look that way one other time: when Slade had turned Terra.
"You're going to just give up?" He asked in a cold tone. Raven regretted immediately what she said next, for it seemed to have a negative effect.
"Beast Boy, you and I both know that no one would ever fall in love with me." Raven replied, her voice empty and toneless. Beast Boy snapped.
"You're such a hypocrite!" Raven blinked in surprise. "You tell me to have faith in myself, and yet, you still don't have any yourself. How do you know if someone can or cannot love you?"
"Because, there is no such thing as love," She snapped back as her anger began to grow. "I've never seen such a thing as love. How can you even know if it's real? It's just some stupid dream humans made up to make themselves feel happy. Demons don't love nor can they!" By the time she finished her speech, her anger was making her shake. Both jumped in surprise when Beast Boy's window cracked. Beast boy stared wide eyed at her, but didn't comment on her emotions.
"I don't believe that," Beast Boy whispered in such a soft voice that Raven felt a twinge of guilt for what she had said. "You're half demon Raven," he continued still in that same gentle voice, "but you're still half human, and if it's a stupid dream for humans, then it's a stupid dream for you too. I know somewhere, deep in your heart, you wished for it…everyone does."
Raven was not ready to admit it to her self or Beast Boy that she had had dreams about love. So, instead, she glared, annoyed, at his dirty floor.
"Raven, you have to try. You can't just give up. We need you here. Look at us; we're lost without you." She met his eyes with hers, and hefelt hope fill up his stomach; 'had she believed his truth?'
"It's grief that makes them seem lost." Raven stated blandly. Beast Boy glared heatedly at her.
"Raven, can't you at least try to find someone? We have a month; we can work out a plan. At least give it a try." In the beginning, his voice had been worn out, but by the time he finished his discourse, he was desperate. He didn't know why he couldn't stand the thought of never seeing Raven again, but he was going to fight for it anyway. Raven took pity on him, and nodded her consent.
"All right, but we'll have to work on that later." Beast Boy had a quizzical look. "Do you happen to know where my body is?" Beast Boy blinked in surprise. Obviously, this was not the question he was expecting.
"It's at the Jump City Morgue." He said, "Why?"
"If I do come back, I'll need my body won't I?" She said sarcastically.
"What are you going to do with it once we get it; hide it in my closet?" Raven had never heard Beast Boy be sarcastic; he grinned.
"There must be something we can do." She said her voice monotone. They stood there quietly, each trying to think of a way to keep Raven's body from decomposing for a month.
Suddenly, Beast Boy brightened. "Have you ever seen Snow White?" He asked hopefully. Raven gave him a puzzled glance, but nodded"Well, remember the dwarfs made Snow White a glass coffin for her, because it was so beautiful. What if we do the same thing for your body?" Raven stared doubtfully at him.
"That would require brains and technology. Something you definitely don't have." She said, teasingly, though her face remained blank.
Beast Boy frowned, and then, grinned. "But I know someone who has both!" Beast Boy exclaimed and grinned a little wider.
Bang Bang Bang! Cyborg blinked and groggily unplugged himself from his charger. He rubbed his one human eye and yawned as his door slid open.
"Cyborg, I need your help." Beast Boy practically yelled. Cyborg jumped and watched as Beast Boy seemed to be listening to thin air, and then, he mumbled something softly under his breath.
"Beast Boy, are you feeling okay?" Cyborg asked carefully. Beast Boy looked as if he had made a full recovery. His color was fresh green; his face was shining. The only proof that he was mourning a few hours ago were his bloodshot eyes.
"Cy, Cyborg, I've got great news." Beast Boy cried bouncing from heel to toe. Again, he seemed to space off for a moment; then, he looked sheepish and immediately calmed down. "Can I come in?" He asked.
Cyborg nodded, too stunned for words. Cyborg watched as Beast Boy slowly walked in and waited for him to shut the door. Then, Beast Boy began his story of Raven's ghost and how Cyborg could help them.
By the time Beast Boy had finished his story, Cyborg knew for sure that Beast Boy had gone insane with grief. Raven's ghost, a glass coffin to prevent decay, only crazy people would talk about the dead like they were coming back.
"Beast Boy, it's going to be okay." Cyborg said as calmly as he could. "I'm going to get you some help." Beast Boy suddenly frowned with irritation.
"You don't believe me?" He exclaimed his knuckles turned white as he squeezed his hand into fists. Cyborg shook his head and put his hands up defensively.
"No, no. I didn't say that." Cy explained, "I just meant that it might be best if we take you to see a doctor." Beast Boy's faced contorted in hurt. Then, he stared behind Cyborg, attentive to something, and then blinked. He shook his head slightly, and then frowned.
"Beast Boy," Cyborg said softly, worry was evident in his voice.
"Cyborg, you have to believe me!" BB exclaimed, grabbing onto his friend's arm. "You have to; I'm telling the truth. If you won't believe the truth, who else can I rely on?" Beast Boy had tears in his eyes, and Cyborg felt guilty for it.
"Please, just try to believe for a moment. Believe that I'm actually right, that Raven really is a ghost, and you just can't see her." Beast Boy's eyes were so clear and pleading that Cyborg, against his better judgment, humored him.
'Raven's here,' he thought to himself, feeling very stupid the whole time. 'Raven isn't dead. She's alive, and when I open my eyes, I'll see her grumpy face again.' Cyborg felt the sting of tears as he opened his eyes.
There was no one in the room except for him and Beast Boy.
Then, something flashed in the corner of his eye. He blinked and turned towards it, but it was no longer there.
"Beast Boy," Cyborg said softly, trying hard not to cry in front of him.
"Believe," Beast Boy whispered in his ear. Cyborg closed his eyes and thought of the times when he and Raven would wash the T-car together. They had always had a good time doing it, and Cyborg had learned a lot more about the mysterious girl than the other Titans knew. He really wished she was alive, and then, things could go back to being what they were once more.
He opened his eyes to see Beast Boy standing a few feet in front of him. Next to him was a clear figure; immediately, Cyborg knew who it was. Raven was back, as a ghost.
For a second time that night, Raven explained everything to Cyborg. Purgatory, Saint Patrick, Aida, and the deal were all included. Cyborg was stunned throughout the whole explanation. So much so, he made Raven go through it twice before it fully hit him.
"You might be coming back?" He exclaimed, unable to contain the grin tugging at his lips. She nodded, and her face remained expressionless.
"That's great. That's fantastic…I wonder what the others are going to say?" Cyborg said, as if the thought had just struck him. Raven rolled her eyes; she smiled a small smile, and then, shifted onto her other foot.
"Listen, maybe we should concentrate on my body and the coffin." The others nodded.
"Let's see. So, you want me to make you a glass coffin to keep your body in, and also so your body doesn't decay. There are some options on the latter. I could freeze Rae's body?" The others shook their heads.
Beast Boy tilted his head in confusion, while Raven made a face, "A definite 'no' onthat." She said mildly.
Cyborg smiled, "Well, I could make the coffin empty of oxygen. That way, the body should be able to slow down the decay. Of course, where ever we put the coffin, we'll have to make it very cold, just for insurance." Beast Boy nodded enthusiastically, while Raven started to move around restlessly.
"Rae, what is it?" Beast Boy asked, turning to stare at her.
"It's nearly morning," she snapped, "Let's get going; I don't want my body pumped full of formaldehyde solution." She said crankily.
Beast Boy stumbled over her last few words, "four-mall-de-hide solutions?"
"Cy, stay here and start working on the coffin, okay?" She question, but more like stated as she ignored Beast Boy's slaughter of her words.
Cy nodded and turned to his computer. He then turned around again, "You know, if they did, it'd make the decomposition go a lot slower." He chuckled as Raven's growl reverberated throughout his room, "Just thought you might want to know."
"Yuck, it smells horrible in here!" Beast Boy whispered harshly, his voice slightly muffled by his hand.
"Well, what do you expect? We're in the city morgue." Raven said tonelessly as she floated through the door. Beast Boy quickly changed into a beetle, and squeezed himself under the door.
"Easy for you to say, you're dead." He snapped, and then quieted immediately. They had just entered the main room. The walls were dark and shiny and reflected what little light that was in the building.
The flashes of dim light reminded Raven of the murky underwater, and she shifted nervously closer to Beast Boy. Beast Boy, as usual, was oblivious.
"Do you think we have to check all of these containers?" Beast Boy asked, swallowing hard enough to make a loud gulping sound. Raven nodded, and crept forward until she stood in front of a container.
She watched as Beast Boy paled in horror, but he followed her anyway. Raven immediately felt bad when she saw how scared Beast Boy was. He was shaking a bit. Though, if it was from the cold of the room or from fear, she wasn't sure, and his eyes were shifting uneasily.
Raven pressed down her own fear of the dead and turned towards Beast Boy, "Why don't I just stick my head through the wall? It'd be a lot faster that way." But Beast Boy shook his head no.
"It wouldn't be right for me to make you go through that." He said, and then smiled slightly, "Besides, there's probably some type of cover over them…and you wouldn't be able to see through it." Raven frowned and felt the childish urge to stick out her tongue at him.
Beast Boy opened a random compartment. The door itself was the bed, and as Beast Boy pulled opened the door, the bed slid silently with it. Beast Boy was right; there was a covering over it, which was proof enough that Beast Boy was a fan of those homicide detectives shows on ABC.
He hesitated a moment before he gently lifted off the covering. It was an old man. His once young face was scared with wrinkles, and his lips had turned a sickly blue.
"Nope," Beast Boy choked out, wrinkling his nose from the odor. He slid the compartment door closed and tried another. This time, it was a girl; she had blonde hair and looked badly beaten. Beast Boy quickly shut that door.
After a few more tries, Raven was becoming pessimistic. "Face it Beast Boy, you've must have gotten the wrong morgue." Beast Boy glared at her in annoyance, as he tried to open another compartment, but it refused to budge.
"I don't think (grunt) that I would forget (huff) where they placed your body!" The compartment lurched open with a loud reverberating bang. Beast Boy was sent flying backwards and landed smack dab on the floor. He rubbed his rear end and grumbled under his breath.
Raven sighed and, only because she knew how hard her death had affected him, apologized. "I'm sorry, all right?" she snapped. Her apology, though rusty sounding, was sincere enough, and made Beast Boy smile gratefully. Beast Boy realized that he must have been the first person, in a really long time, which had been apologized to from Raven.
He stood up, and then, leaned over and pulled off the pale sheet.
There was Raven's body. Her eyes were closed, and her skin was an ugly pale blue. It even looked as if it had swelled slightly from the water.
"Do you smell the formaldehyde?" Raven asked, while peering closer to her dead body.
"Shhh," Beast Boy suddenly hissed. Distantly, Raven could hear the soft pounding of footsteps as they came closer to the room. Raven blinked as a beam of light faintly swept underneath the door. Beast Boy froze in fear; if he were caught, who knew what they would do to him? Raven seemed to since his fear and quickly turned to him.
"Beast Boy, hide," she blurted as she went closer to one of the exam tables. She searched frantically for a weapon as the footsteps came nearer and nearer.
She blanched as her eyes landed on, what looked to be a giant pair of eyebrow pluckers. Raven, realized that this is what they used to take out organs and other body pieces while performing an autopsy.
She gagged, but willed her fear to increase. There was no concern there, for the footsteps were growing closer and closer.
"Raven, what are you doing?" Beast Boy whispered loudly.
"Shhh," she hissed this time. Then, the door slowly opened, and what looked to be a security guard peered in. He flashed a large flash light throughout the room, and to Raven's horror, landed on the hiding Beast Boy.
"Hey kid, what are you doing in here?" He asked his voice deeply annoyed.
That's when Raven made her move. Using her emotion of fear, she wielded it to pick up the giant eyebrow plucker. Then, as it floated mysteriously up into the air, she wielded it to go flying at the man's head.
With a sick thunk, the tool was smacked hard against the side of the man's head. His eyes rolled backwards, and he slumped to the ground with a groan.
"Is he dead?" Beast Boy whispered furiously as he scrambled over to the middle age body.
"He's not dead," Raven stated her voice eerily calm, "He'll just be unconscious for a while." Beast Boy checked his pulse, just to make sure, and then, turned back towards her body.
"Come on. Let's get you out of here before anything else happens." Beast Boy muttered, apparently not happy with the knowledge of them knocking an innocent bystander out.
"What about the formaldehyde?" Raven asked, floating over to him.
"Let's ask Cyborg when we get back," Beast Boy said tiredly. Raven nodded and watched quietly as Beast Boy carefully picked up Raven's body, bridal style, and then, swung his shoulders against the compartment door, sliding it shut. He slowly and carefully started walking towards the exit.
Once he reached thedoor, he placed the body gently on the ground and rested. Raven wasn't as light as she seemed which earned him a scary glare when he decided to inform this to Raven herself.
Then, he unlocked the door, carried the body outside, and, once again, laid it on the ground. Then, he locked the door from the inside and escaped by turning back into a beetle.
"That was a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be... well, except for the security guard, of course." Raven said off handedly.
"That's easy for you to say; you won't be carrying the body all the way back to the tower."
It had been nearly two hours since Beast Boy and Raven had left, and Cyborgwas nearly finished with his little project. Of course, he had awakened many grumpy people, and had pulled about a ton of strings and favors, but thankfully, they had all came through for him.
Now, he was working on sealing out all the air in the coffin, which was becoming more of a problem than he thought. He typed in a solution that he hoped would work, and waited as the computer tried to process it.
"We're back," huffed a tired voice from the medical room's open window. Cy turned to see an exhausted Beast boy, and a placid Raven. In Beast Boy's arms laid Raven's body. Cyborg's expression immediately softened. Beast Boy was pale, and he looked worn out over the whole ordeal.
"Hey," he greeted them softly as Beast Boy placed Rae's body on the ground.
Raven frowned. Ever since her death, Beast Boy and Cyborg had changed. Beast Boy's changes were depression, obviously, but Cyborg's was a new sense of timidity and quietness. This, new him, frightened her slightly, and as time past, she knewshe would miss the obnoxious one more and more.
"You are going to be thrilled with me when I tell you my news." Cyborg boasted proudly. "I was able to create a perfect coffin, which should stop the progress of decay for, I hope, a month." Beast Boy sent a happy grin Raven's way.
"Plus, a bonus," Cy added, "I was able to replicate the coffin to look exactly like the one in Snow White." He held up a child's book that was no doubt Starfire's.
On the cover, in gold letters, it read: The Fairy Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Under it was a picture of a pale girl lying on a sheet of silk. A glass covering lay over her. Seven dwarfs were lined around it and stared mournfully at the figure, while wild animals seemed to be gathering around the group.
Raven choked, and then, glared at Beast Boy as he struggled to hold in his laughter. Cyborg just chuckled and turned back to his computer as it made loud beeping sounds. He clicked the mouse, and the beeping instantly stopped.
"The seal for the coffin is working now." Cyborg said as he read the computer's explanation.
"Before we put my body in the coffin, do you think you could check for traces of formaldehyde in it?" Raven asked.
Cyborg nodded and took a needle out of a drawer, and then, he gently pierced it in Raven's upper forearm. He pulled on the plug and stopped immediately as blood filled up the tube. He then carefully pulled out the needle and grinned at Rae.
"Looks like you got your wish. No formaldehyde; it's just plain old blood." Raven nodded and sighed slightly.
"Beast Boy, do you want me to put her…," Cyborg trailed off helplessly.
"No, I'll do it." Beast Boy said softly. He picked up Raven's body and waited for the glass lid to slide open. Then, as if she were made of glass, he placed her on the steel bed, and positioned her to look almost like she was sleeping. Finally, he stepped away as the lid slid shut.
Raven glanced at Cyborg and Beast Boy's sad expressions, and groaned to herself. She was right here after all. "Don't look so sad," she barked in irritation, "I'm right here, after all." Beast Boy nodded, and then shivered.
"Sorry," Cyborg apologized, "I have to keep it cold in here. Otherwise, the body won't last as long." Beast Boy nodded again, but made no other comment than his yawn.
"We should probably go back to bed." Cyborg said grinning as Beast Boy's canine teeth made their appearance during his yawn. Raven nodded, as did Beast Boy, and both of them headed for the med door. "Are you going with him?" Cyborg asked, teasingly. Beast Boy blushed, and Raven pulled up her hood again.
"Na, no," Raven stuttered, tripping, for the first time, over her words. "I was heading for the living room." With that said, she gracefully glided through the door and out of the room.
Beast Boy chuckled, "You shouldn't tease her like that. She has been through a lot lately." Cyborg frowned.
"I think," he began, "that it's all the more reason why we should." Beast Boy nodded, and then, yawned again. "I'll walk you back to your room." Cy said, headingfor the door. Beast Boy nodded and followed after him.
As they passed the empty doorway to the living room, they saw the translucent figure of Raven, staring lost and forlornly out the giant window that looked to Jump City. Beast Boy made a move to join her and comfort her, but Cyborg stopped him with an arm.
"Let's let her be for a while, Beast Boy," he whispered, "I think she needs to get use to the way things are now." Cyborg stated, as he began to leave him and walk towards their destination.
BB hesitated and stared at Raven's ghost, and then, he turned and followed Cyborg's footsteps.
Once they reached Beast boy's room, Cy made a move to keep Beast Boy from going inside. "I've got a question for you." Cy said, shifting and sighing at the same time. Beast Boy turned to look at him.
"How are you going to help Raven find someone to love her?" He asked, staring intently at him.
Beast Boy's eyes widened in surprise over the question, and stared past Cyborg in the direction of the main room.
"I don't know really," he said softly, "I don't know yet…but I promised her we'd come up with something." He gulped and looked at the ground in a sudden shyness. His brows furrowed in thought. "But the thought of her going back to Purgatory, it... it scares me to death."
There was a brief silence as Cyborg went through everything Beast Boy had just said. His eyes widened as the pieces of the puzzle seemed to magically fit themselves together. Then, his eyes lit up in realization.
"Of course," Beast Boy continued, "I'm sure you feel the exact same way." Beast Boy gave him a sad, small smile, and then, shut his bedroom door.
Cyborg stayed in the hallway, stuck in a stupor over what Beast Boy had just said.
'What had he meant over his last words? He couldn't have meant…no he hadn't meant that…had he?'
