Beware…Raven gets a little out of character in this story, but I figure she can show a little emotion…especially since this one has some BBxRae fluff...hope you BBxRae fans love…oh, and everyone else too!
Oh, and if you are HUGE BBxTerra fans…I do have one story with them. Actually, it's a oneshot, and although I am not a HUGE fan of BB and Terra together, and prefer BB and Raven, at least it isn't as bad as the Raven and Robin couple which I despise…Robin is reserved for Starfire…
oh, and one more thing, I am very sorry for making the last chapter depressing...this one is a little better...smiles everyone smiles! ...alright, on with the story
Chapter 15:
"So, you want to get away from me, huh?" Raven smiled, referring to how Starfire wanted to go.
"No No!" Starfire sighed, "I just wish to be needed again. Right now, I am just used…"
"We want you to get better. We want you to recharge enough so you can be at top shape when we battle Slade. We all know it's going to be hard when you face Slade and Red X again and we want you to be all rested up."
"Answer something for me." Starfire smiled, sitting up and putting on her bra and shirt, "What is going on between you and Beastboy?"
"What do you mean?" Raven gave her a small grin.
"You like Beastboy, do not even try to tell me otherwise." Starfire giggled, standing up and putting on the panties underneath the towel.
"Okay, okay, I do like him. I like him a lot. He isn't funny, but it is funny that he tries. He acts like he knows it all, like when you left, he made up a whole explanation as a connection to a funny movie that he just watched. It was totally weird, like you had some kind of chip in your head and we needed to make a magnet to save you…" Raven positioned her chair so she couldnt see Starfire
Starfire laughed…a lot. He was way off, "He really said that?"
"Yeah. He is so weird, it's cute…" Raven said, "And if you tell him I told you this, I'll send you to another dimension."
"Oh, what are girl talks for?" Starfire smiled as she pulled on her sweatpants and rolled it so the elastic lay just below her cut.
"I know what you mean." Raven smiled.
"Raven…" Starfire said, "…I'm so very sorry." Tears threatened again, but she held them back.
"It wasn't your fault." Raven smiled, but noticed that Starfire was about to cry. She opened her arms wide, "Come here, Star."
Starfire fell into Raven's arms, "It's no good holding it in, Star, if you need to talk about something, talk to me…whatever you say to me will stay with me."
"He hurt me." Starfire sobbed onto Raven's shoulder. "He cut my throat, my chest, my hip, and when he did that…made me take him out to do that…"
"I know, honey, it's okay." Raven tried to put herself in Starfire's shoes, it must be hard… "I'm sorry, I wanted to look away, but every time I did, Red X just cut you more.
"Can't you make the pain go away?" Starfire asked innocently.
"I wish I could. Let my try to explain this, the pain you are experiencing right now is emotional pain. I have many emotions and I have to make sure to ignore them, hide them, only pay attention to the emotion that doesn't care about life. That's why I meditate all the time. If I were to try to mix my one emotion with your emotions so you only experienced happy…well…it wouldn't turn out good."
"But after your father was defeated, aren't you able to use emotions?"
"Although he is physically dead, my father is still alive inside of me. I am half demon, the evil is wedged inside me. I have proved to myself that I can control that demon side of me, but…I could slip one day, like with Dr. Light, I have to know when to let the evil show in me. I guess that's what Beastboy and I really have in common. He told me that the beast is still inside him, and he is afraid, he just has to know when to let it loose. That is how it is with me, but in order to do that, I have to meditate to keep my bad side in control."
"I understand…now, Beastboy." Starfire smiled, jumping on the bed, her grin stretched ear to ear, "we have to get you two together!"
"How…he doesn't like me." Raven said.
"On the contrary, Robin told me specifically that he talks non stop about you when you are absent."
"Really?" Raven leaned forward with interest. "How do I do it?"
"I have one idea, but it's a risky one."
"Okay, let's hear it."
"All right…Here's what you do, tonight…"
TTTT
"That was almost too easy…" Robin said as they got back.
"Yeah, I bet he let up on us because he just wanted to fight Starfire." Cyborg said.
"Right…" Beastboy said, reaching up into the air, "It's like midnight…can we go to bed now?"
"Beastboy, usually you are the one begging to stay up all night to watch movies."
"Nothing good on…" Beastboy walked to the infirmary to check on Raven…oh, and Starfire…
As he approached the door, he heard whispers and giggles, "Shhhh, I think someone's coming." He heard one of the girls say.
As soon as he walked inside, and they saw him, they burst out laughing.
"What?" Beastboy asked, they only responded by laughing harder. Starfire was about to choke from not getting enough air, and Raven…she looked just so weird, smiling and laughing…
"Guys!" Beastboy yelled down the hall, "get in here now!" the two ran fast, intantly thinking something was wrong.
"Okay, okay, let's stop, my stomach hurts." Starfire said. They both bit their lips as Robin and Cyborg walked in, tears starting to form as they tried to suppress their laughs, but they couldn't hold it. Before long, Starfire was lying on the ground; Raven was on her side on the bed, cracking up and clutching their stomachs.
"What's going on?" Robin asked. "Starfire?" he was answered with more laughs.
"I'm……………….sorry…………Robin……………" Starfire tried to answer, but she was laughing too hard. "Okay………breathe……" Raven was trying to do the same thing. They breathed in, out, in, out….
Raven and Starfire looked at each other, then started to giggle, but not full out laughter. "Thank you Raven." Starfire smiled, then whispered, "You are good at making the pain go away."
"Glad I could help, Star." Raven stood up, with the help of Beastboy. Robin and Cyborg both grabbed one of Starfire's arms, leading her to Robin's room.
"Star, you're sleeping with me tonight. You cannot be alone in the tower again, well at least for a few months."
"Even to go to the restroom?"
"Okay, you can do that, but we keep the door unlocked."
Cyborg had left to recharge now and Robin picked Starfire up. "How about the shower?"
"You can't be alone in there again, I won't allow it." He smiled, "I have to be in there with you."
"Perfect." She smiled, kissing him. "I am very tired." She yawned.
"Me too." He laid her down in the bed, tucking her under the covers.
Instantly, Starfire was asleep and Robin just sat there, next to her, not tired at all. He pulled out a book and read, glancing up every twenty seconds to watch his angel
TTTT
After about an hour of lying in bed, Raven sighed. She pushed the covers to the side, grabbing her pillow and stepped onto the floor. She walked to the door, opening it and walked slowly over to Beastboy's room.
Raven stood at the door for about five minutes, staring at the nameplate that read, "Beastboy".
Finally, she gathered the courage and knocked gently. "Yeah?" a weak voice came from inside. Raven sighed, cracking the door open, "Do you mind if I come in?"
"Of course, Rae." He smiled at her as she walked in slowly and sleepily, stepping over the piles of clothes laying everywhere. She pulled back the covers next to Beastboy and slid in next to him.
"I couldn't sleep." She whispered, staring at the ceiling, "I keep thinking about earlier…"
"You mean Starfire?"
"Yeah."
"I can't even imagine what she's gone through." Beastboy sighed.
"I know." She sighed now, "I mean, I hated to watch."
"Every time you tried to close your eyes, me too, she would scream…like he was watching us to make sure we watched."
"I hope you never have to go through that." Beastboy said. Raven let her head fall to the side so she could look him in the eyes.
"Thank you Beastboy, I hope so too." Raven yawned, then shivered.
"You cold?"
"A little, but I feel safer. Thank you."
"Anytime Raven." Then Raven did something very unexpected. She turned her whole body so she was facing Beastboy.
"There's something I want to tell you…" Raven said.
"What?"
"This." She reached up and kissed Beastboy lightly on the lips, just a little peck. Then let go, blushing slightly as she stared at him waiting for a reaction. She got what she hoped for. He immediately grabbed her behind her head and pulled her in for a longer and deeper kiss. Beastboy parted his lips, taking his tongue and pushed it forward into her mouth, roaming it, taking in every taste every inch, then let his tongue play with hers before she entered his mouth, taking in his taste.
TTTT
Robin felt the bed shift. He looked up to see Starfire stepping onto the floor. "Whacha doin?" Robin asked sleepily.
"I have to go see something." Starfire smiled, "Would you like to join me?"
"I have to…"
"Okay, well, stay quiet…" Starfire slipped out the door, grabbing Robin and carrying him this time so they didn't make any noise on the floor. She floated past Raven's room. The door was open and she wasn't in there. "Good…" she whispered.
"What are you two up too?" Robin whispered.
"Shhhh." He crossed his arms across his chest. Starfire moved closer to Beastboy's door, hoping not to open it. She cracked it open just a little. The site she saw made her smile. She saw Raven laying next to Beastboy, they were kissing and in each other's arms.
Starfire moved aside so Robin could look. He smiled and closed the door. She carried them back.
"Finally!" Robin said after his door closed.
"I know...that is what Raven and I were laughing about. When you three came back, we were just putting the polishing touches on our plan…"
"Our?"
"Yes, I helped her devise a plan…she went into his room, claiming she couldn't sleep because she felt unsafe, thinking about what happened to me. They would talk then she would tell him that she had to tell him something. Then she would give him a tiny peck on the lips. He responded correctly, he kissed her back, and now they are doing the making out!" Starfire cheered jumping up into the air and floating over to the bed, getting inside.
"I say we do the making out ourselves…" Robin smiled, laying in the bed next to her and kissing her deeply. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Starfire broke the kiss, "I am very tired…" she yawned as she rested her head on his shoulder, cuddling up next to him.
"Yeah, me too. Let's try to get some sleep."
"Thank you." Starfire sighed, closing her eyes and falling into a very nice sleep.
