Greetings and Salutations once again. Here I, ShelsSMG, am with my best friend, a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I can't believe how many people read my story in the first day. WITH GOOD REVIEWS! Just so you all know I am a guy. Which means I may not write some of Raven and Starfire's parts well. Also, in Chap. 1 I forgot to put one of those pesky Disclaimers. So here it is:
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans. If I did I would be rich, Raven and Beast Boy would have had a big moment in "THE END", and Jinx would end up becoming a Titan.
Chapter 2:
Awake… Sorta
----------------
"He'll live but… I cannot seem to wake him up. He's in a coma and I cannot reach into his mind. It's as if that body is only an empty shell. I don't know if he'll ever wake up." Raven said to Star in a dead kind of voice. For some reason she would not look at Robin or Cyborg, maybe out of guilt. Robin, however, had been noticing how strange she had been acting the past few weeks. She hadn't looked at or talked to either he, Cyborg, or Beast Boy, she only came out of her room for missions, and then ran right back in after them. As Raven finished her report Robin ushered the others out of the room. As they left he turned to Raven, who promptly looked to her feet, and said, "Stay with Beast Boy. We'll be right back." Raven sat in a chair and buried her head in her hands.
Out in the hall Robin and the others were discussing her. "So what did she say happened Star?" Robin asked inquiringly. Starfire bit her lip and shook her head.
"She said that he snuck into her room and surprised her. Without thinking she used her powers to throw him away. But there must be more. She would not attack friend Beast Boy with such force for just surprising her." Star's eyes began to tear up even more. Cyborg rubbed his chin thought for a moment.
"Yeah, you're right, BB does that all the time. Raven has been actin' kinda strange lately. Has been for a couple a' weeks. Think we should ask her about it?" Robin stalked off to his room. Before he rounded the corner he called out in a very Bat like manner,
"Star you ask her what's going on, Cy pull up the security vid files from the past couple of weeks, when you do bring them to my room. I want to look over them." As Robin sped off Starfire and Cyborg looked at each other and shrugged. "Let's get ta' work." Cyborg let out a deep sigh and began the walk to the security room. Starfire waited until he rounded the corner and then walked back into the med bay. As she stepped through the door she saw Raven jump up from the chair she had been sitting in. Star smiled nervously and decided to begin on with her assigned task. She pulled a chair up next to Raven and motioned for her to sit. Raven cast her a suspicious glare and sat down slowly. Starfire spoke in a kind and caring voice.
"Friend, you have been acting odd lately." Don't I always, Raven thought. Starfire continued, "We have all been very worried about you. Will you please tell me why you are behaving this way? We are your friends. We want to help." Starfire put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Raven's lip quivered and a tear dropped down her pale cheek. She began to wonder if she should tell someone. Then, however, she stopped considering this option. Her friends would think she was weak. They'll hate me, she thought, I'll never be able to face them again. Raven shook her head and turned to face Starfire. She looked at her through sad and despairing eyes.
"It's nothing Star. I've just been a little worried." Starfire started to get even more concerned. She put a little bit of firmness into her voice this time. She still kept it soft though.
"What have you been worried about friend Raven?" Starfire waited a moment for an answer and then asked another question. "Is it another prophecy?" Raven shook her head and looked down at the floor again.
"It's kinda personal. I'll tell you some other time." Starfire opened her mouth to speak again but Rae cut her off. "Please just leave me alone for a little while longer." Starfire nodded kindly and gave her a caring smile.
"When you decide to tell us we will be here to listen." Raven nodded and gave a small (very, very small) grin. When Star left Raven looked down at Beast Boy again. After a few minutes of silence she rested her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. "I'm so sorry." She whispered. With that Raven sighed, gave a small shudder, and began crying harder than she ever had. Oddly, nothing exploded. Anywhere.
Beast Boy groaned and opened his eyes slowly. He brought his hands up and rubbed his eyes. "Uhhh, this isn't the med bay. Where am I?" Suddenly he heard a giggle and Raven leaned over him. But this wasn't Raven. This girl he recognized as one of Raven's emotions, Happy. She looked down at him and grinned.
"You're cute when you're stupid. Where do ya' think you are?" Beast Boy sat up and looked around. Immediately he recognized the terrain. "RAVEN'S MIND!" He shouted. "What am I doing here?" Then he heard a burp behind him. Beast Boy spun around and saw another Raven. This one was dressed in orange.
"What's the matter?" She asked. "I thought you always wanted to be in Raven." Then she grinned. "If ya' catch my meaning." Beast Boy stumbled back and yelped. Happy giggled again. Before BB could catch his breath she grabbed his arm and flew off.
"Where-are-we-going?" Beast Boy yelled to Happy. Happy glanced back and grinned from ear to ear. "Ta' see the others!"

Like, oh-my-god! The chapters over. Listen I realized a couple hours ago that this fic has a dumb name. I mean, no ones dead. I need help with a name. Give me some ideas in your review (if you write one). The sender of the chosen title gets a chip I found that's shaped like Beast Boy. In the next chapter Robin and Cyborg begin their investigation while trying to keep it a secret from Raven. A mysterious message is left on the Titans answering machine and they must figure out who left it. Unfortunately for Raven if they do her secret will be revealed. Thank you for joining me and my Fruity Pebbles today. Until next time, this is ShelsSMG and I still don't know how Ron Perlman can be so creepy.
