Kim's Reviewer Feedback:
Titanwolf- I know, right? DentistsEvil. And, no, I haven't heard that. I'll check it out! Thankies for the review!
SpazztheSlob- Yeah, everyone likes Robin's dream. Hee hee!
RavenOfNight- Good question. I'm still kinda brainstorming...
TerraTitan27 pt. I- Well, for me, it's BBxRae. Yeah! But, everyone can think what they wanna think, so...
TerraTitan27 pt. II- Yep! Raven's a mommy...or is she? DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN. I personally liked the way I sorta threw it in there. It was like, BAMMMMM!
blackfire1108- Heh heh. I mean, awww, don't cry! Thank you!
Cassandra-Cruxshadows- I don't know why, but every time I read your review, I start to grin because you're confused. I'm not mean, just maniacal!
ravenwithemotion- I'm trying! I'm trying!
the Desert Fox- That doesn't count! lol, but, thankies for the other compliments.
MiSs JoVaNNa pt. I- Sorry, it's not Bee...!
MiSs JoVaNNa pt. II- Yep, it sure does.
korey- Haha... "In other news, someone accidentally left all the cell doors open at Jump City Prison, causing all of the villains to break out. I guess we do need you back, Titans."
aimee- Coming right up.
Raven's Faithful Sidekick- Wow! You're so talented and great, too! And I bet you're even prettier than I am...
Mad Mauser- Pretty much. Also, I wanted you to think that if he was going to build a time machine, it'd only be for Sarasim, so, ya know, jumping to conclusions...? No, he was talking about her REAL problem, and the reason is because helllooo, it's the mayor. You're not gonna let some random people protect the city! I assume there was a background check, right?
BuffytheVampslayer- I loooove Coldplay!
TTLuver- You weren't a jerk! No, of course not! Did I make it sound like I thought you were a jerk? I hope not...and, yeah, I'm getting used to the retainers...but I still can't eat. It hurts! And, Robin is all serious about crime fight and stuff so, I thought that by making HIM of all people cry, it'd be showing more weakness. Robin's not all that, you know...I personally am not a big fan. Don't shoot me, please!
YRProcks66- I'm TRYING to work on it right now, but the lack of Windows Media Player is getting to me! Ooh, wait, I have some downloaded music on my computer. THANK YOU, DOWNLOAD-ISM!
FusionGig- ? Why does everyone review the first or fourth chapter and not read the fifth? So, it is a CyxJinx pairing.
Angelii- Oh. Okay. Also, read above first sentence
Chapter 6
The Titans quietly sat down on/around the living room couch, Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire and Cyborg on the couch, Raven on the floor. She knew what was coming. The thing she dreaded-
"What did Mayor Brown mean when he said that, Raven?"
Case and point. Raven took a deep breath before slowly letting it out. "Robin. You know that I like to keep my personal business personal." She knew that wasn't going to work, but it was worth a shot. Right?
"No, Raven. I think now, it's the team's business, too."
Dammit! Okay, Raven, lie, lie, lie, lie-
"And don't even think about lying, Rae. I can easily hook you up to a polygraph."
Damn Cyborg. He was supposed to be on her side! "Look, guys, it's nothing that important. The mayor's just ranting, that's all," Raven half-lied, in her perfect monotone voice.
"Perhaps we can help you?"
Damn Starfire. Raven always felt guilty about lying to Starfire. "Star, I don't think you guys can help me. I have to do this on my own," Raven explained, glancing at Beast Boy before quickly averting her eyes. He was asleep. Wait, he was asle-
Commencing Dream
Raven looked around wildly, surveying her surroundings. Beast Boy was seated on the roof of the tower, his legs dangling over the edge. This time, however, there was no dream Raven. Dream Raven was...herself. The real Raven. Who was seated next to Beast Boy.
"Sooo," Beast Boy said quietly, "you're leaving."
"I...leaving?" Raven asked.
"Yeah. The mayor said we had to pack our bags, and then, when Robin suggested us getting a normal house together, you said you were gonna split."
"Oh," Raven murmured, feigning remembrance. "Uh...yeah, I guess."
"Because, you know, when you leave..." Beast Boy trailed off before clearing his throat and continuing, "I'll, uh, be...sad."
"Beast Boy, I don't want you to be sad," She said softly, touching his shoulder gingerly. She might as well as stuck a hanger in a light socket, for the jolt of electricity she felt was powerful. She immediately withdrew her hand.
"Raven, I...I lo-" Beast Boy couldn't say it. She was, after all, leaving. "I love it when you smile. Can you do it, just one more time?"
Raven waited a moment before giving him the smallest of smiles. He, in turn, grinned back.
End Dream
Raven came out of her trance to a cybernetic hand waving in front of her face.
"Hellooo..." Cyborg said slowly and loudly. "Can you hear me?"
"Cyborg, I can hear just fine," She replied, gently removing his hand from her face. "Is Beast Boy awake yet?"
"Yeah, he just woke up when you came out of your vision thingy. Speaking of your vision thingy, what'd you see?" He rant- I mean, explained, until he finally stopped.
"Uh, I'm not sure," She lied. Well, she technically wasn't lying. She didn't know if it was a dream, or a vision. All she could think about was how to prevent it. And she wasn't even gonna ask herself why she cared so much about Beast Boy, or deny it.
"Raven, was it anything...bad?" Starfire asked cautiously, remembering Terra.
"No...I don't think," She answered, biting her lip.
"Raven, this is all important and all, but back to the Mayor," Robin said seriously.
Raven rolled her eyes. She hadn't expected Robin to forget. Raven sighed before taking the plunge. "He meant...he meant that I needed to start working on controlling my emotions. I lied to you about the reason." Raven paused, giving everyone the perfect amount of time to start bombarding her with questions.
"Raven? You lied? What the hell's your prob-"
"Friend, you do not trust-"
"Why didn't you tell us the real reas-"
"That's a first. No, wait, it's a secon-"
"That is quite enough," Raven said in that deadly calm voice. As soon as everyone quieted down, she proceeded with her explanation. "I told you that I needed to meditate and control my emotions to keep control over my powers, but that's not true."
Since the authoress is lazy and doesn't feel like typing the entire explanation over again, though it WOULD make her story longer and quiet down you reviewers, she will skip, skip, skip to the next part:
"And, to gain that control over my powers, I have to...have to...fall in...love," Raven whispered.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch it," Cyborg half-grinned, knowing EXACTLY what she said.
"Dammit, Cyborg, I have to fall in love!" She blurted, immediately clapping a hand over her mouth. A small shattering noise from the ceiling indicated that this had not happened yet.
"Raven..." Robin said, completely at loss for words. He'd been (cough, fake, cough) sniffling on Starfire's shoulder while Cyborg and Raven hashed it out, but now, his tears were forgotten.
"Oh, how glorious!" Starfire cried, causing Raven to take a good look at her. Beast Boy gulped and silently prayed for Starfire.
"Gl...glorious?" Raven whispered in a deadly calm voice. "Glorious?"
"Yes! It is glorious that you and friend Beast Boy can be toge-" Starfire said happily, only to have a hand clapped over her mouth. Robin shook his head violently, and Cyborg slashed his hand under his chin, signaling that now was not the time. Beast Boy waved his hands frantically, showing her that Raven wasn't in the mood right now. Starfire just smiled.
Raven began to quiver a little, and looked as if she was about to explode, before-
"You're right."
Here, the room grew quiet. So quiet, you couldn't even hear the Titans breathing. Well, that's partly because they weren't. Especially not Beast Boy. At first, he stopped breathing so that he could lose conciousness. Then, he started wheezing.
"What the hell!" Cyborg screamed, shaking Raven by the shoulders. "What the hell is your problem!"
"Girls are so weird," Robin muttered to himself, closing his eyes.
"Did I not tell you?" Starfire grinned.
"Raven...is this...true?" Beast Boy breathed out, still wheezing his lungs out.
He saw her nod once before oh-so dramatically passing out.
"Friend Beast Boy! Friend Beast Boy!" Starfire's voice shouted. "Get up, ya dumbass!" Okay, not Starfire anymore. "Beast Boy, aren't you taking this a little too far?" Robin. "Beast Boy, we need to talk."
Raven.
Beast Boy sat up groggily, blinking his eyes a couple of times. "Ugh. Remind me never to faint when you admit that you love me," Beast Boy joked, and, when receiving no reply and only a glare, he sighed. "C'mon, Raven. We have to talk."
He took her by the hand and led her to his room, tugging her through the large piles of clothes and empty pizza boxes. He cleared a spot on the bed for them both to sit on, and sat facing her.
Raven looked at him expectantly, as if he was supposed to say something right now, like make a huge speech about his undying love for her.
Unfortunately, Beast Boy was thinking the same thing.
The two sat there in silence, waiting for the other to make the first move. Finally, Beast Boy spoke. "Raven, I really don't know what to say. Well, I know what to say, but I don't know if it's the right thing to say," Beast Boy babbled, talking to reassure himself that everything was all right.
Raven stared at Beast Boy. Somehow, this was not how she imagined him going about and admitting his love for her.
"Raven, what's wrong?" Beast Boy frowned, looking into Raven's face.
"I...it's nothing," Raven said in her monotone voice, looking away.
Beast Boy leaned over to turn her to face him just as Raven was turning back around. The result? A very deep, very passionate kiss took place. Raven pulled Beast Boy closer to her, their bodies' molding into one.
Raven finally broke away, her entire body shaking from the shock and passion of the kiss. She felt like this had all happened once before...
Raven looked down at her cloak- it was pure white.
Beast Boy grinned, hugging her. At long last, the entire truth was out- well, ALMOST entirely.
A/N: Alright, people, I'll tell you the truth- I'm not entirely happy with how this chapter turned out. I mean, I like it and all, but...I dunno. I feel like I could've done better or something.
Does anyone watch Degrassi? Or Instant Star? Because, if you watch Instant Star, I'm e-mailing fanfiction an Instant Star story so there can be a category! I love that show!
