9
I tossed and turned in my sleep. I hoped for a peaceful nap, but that didn't happen. I dreamt that my siblings took over the world, killed everybody else, and destroyed the world bit by bit. That wasn't the only bad dream I had. I had woken up several times from a nightmare, just to look around, see that nothing was there, and fall back asleep. Finally I woke up with sunlight creeping through the window and
Raven staring at me, sitting on my bed.
"Morning sleepyhead. About time you got up." I opened my eyes only to quickly shut them. "What time is it? It's really bright outside." I tried to get up, but Raven pulled me back down. "You need to relax. And it's 9 in the morning." I looked outside. "Well, at least I got some sleep." Raven laughed, and I just looked at her like she was crazy. "Some sleep? The big fight was two days ago." I was wide awake by then. "Seriously? How could I have slept that much?" Raven shrugged. "Probably because you were over exhausted and your pain was increasing. You needed the sleep." I was still shocked at how much I had slept. "I guess I needed it. I feel refreshed, but my back and shoulders still hurt." Raven smiled. "I can fix that." I watched her hands glow light blue and she touched my back and shoulders. "There. It shouldn't hurt as much, but you still should take it easy. Don't fight Slade or anything." I grinned. Raven was an amazing friend.
I searched throughout the fridge for something to snack on. "Yuck. No wonder they always get pizza. Everything's either blue, fuzzy, or both." I grabbed a bag of what looked like fuzzy blue raisons. "So much for grapes. Ew. Does that expiration read 1995? Ew! This stuff is a hazard for-" Beast Boy interrupted my criticism for the bad food. "I see you're finally up." He sounded angry. "What's wrong? Did I do something?" Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "No, but I got woken up at 4:30 in the morning, and I couldn't go back to sleep." I watched as he stifled a yawn.
I decided to bring up a question that I was dying to ask. "How did the… fight go?" Beast Boy sighed, apparently still tired from the fight as I was. "Could have gone better. Your one brother… the rock dude." "Eric. Eric controls the rocks, Wendy controls the water, Anna controls air, and Felix controls fire." Beast Boy managed a smile. "Yeah… thanks. Eric nearly took the tower down with an earthquake, but by then the rest of the team arrived and he got… distracted. I nearly had Wendy- Wendy's the blue one right?" I nodded. "Yeah. I almost had Wendy, but Felix nearly burnt me. Raven saved me there though. We didn't realize you and Felix ran off until Eric started the earthquake. I looked up and saw you flying up. You looked terrified." I glared at him. "Wouldn't you be terrified if one of your strongest siblings was trying to kill you after you were already nearly killed twenty times before by him?" Beast Boy kept a straight face. "Well, I was going to help you, but Wendy attacked me. By the time I shoved her aside, Starfire had already flown up." I was beginning to feel impatient. "Well, just skip to the end. What happened?" Beast Boy rolled his eyes at me, and I glared at him. "Well, they nearly just gave up and quit. They all looked pretty bad, but then again, so did we." I looked at him and I found a few noticeable scars, probably from the fight. Beast Boy nodded. "A few moments later they actually did give up. Felix just glared at all of us and was all 'you guys are strong. But we'll come back for Paige and kill her and you with her!'" I giggled at Beast Boy mocking my brother. "Well, they are pretty strong- too strong for me- but you guys are the Teen Titans."
Beast Boy nodded and then looked serious. "You look pretty bad. What exactly happened up there while we were fighting?" I looked at my shoulders, and they looked less black, but they were still sore. "Well, Starfire will probably need to redo her room. I had to break her window to get in. I couldn't get inside through the door, so I had to fly up to the nearest window, which was hers. Then Felix burnt a hole in the wall when I ducked it, and the floors will probably be wet for weeks. Oh, and Raven helped my burns not hurt as much." Beast Boy grinned. "Yep. She's a lifesaver."
I suddenly remembered a question I have always wanted to ask, but never had the right time to ask. "Beast Boy, do you mind… showing me Terra?" Beast Boy just stared at me for a few moments. "You really want to see Terra?" I nodded, confident in my choice. "I've always wanted to see Terra the moment Raven told me about her." This time Beast Boy nodded. "Ok. But are you sure? There's lots of walking…" I grinned and floated into the air. "I can fly . Remember?" Beast Boy looked dumbfounded. "Oh yeah… I forgot." I laughed. "Sure you did."
