Disclaimer:     Chapter 12 - To Leave? Or Not To Leave? That Is The Question   

I don't own Teen Titans.

Hey, what's up? Thanks for the reviews. Really. Ok. Just one second. I have to do this. EVERYONE ROCKS! Right on! Yeah, yeah, I gotta do that too. I can't contain myself! Not today! YOU ALL ROCK, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!! ALL READERS OF MY STORY, REVIEWERS OR NOT, ROCK!!! Ok! … Meanwhile, back at the ranch… Um, I'm sorry that so many of you hated my 11th chapter, and thought it was so bad, (I got 2 mini-flames for it) but this one will probably be better… I hope. Thank you to everyone who ever reviewed! Review some more! Please and thank you!

Raven stopped. It was getting dark and she needed to rest. She sat down in a dark alley and groaned. Leaving for Azarath isn't that big of a deal, the psychic tried to tell herself for the thousandth time. She rolled her head onto her left shoulder. Uh, who am I kidding? I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll be happier than I was here… The girl got up and started laying down blankets, thinking nothing of what she was telling herself. But her heart, her true, open side did. Now, it said. Can you really lie to yourself like that? Raven stopped. Where was that voice coming from? And, as if it could read her mind, the voice answered, I'm your heart. The pure side of you. Raven scoffed and folded her arms over her chest. Oh great. Now 1% of me that probably doesn't even exist and is supposedly "pure", is talking like she can make a difference, Raven thought. Don't forget I said 1%, she mumbled in her mind. You forget, the voice answered, I can read your thoughts. I make them along with you, your thoughts. All of them. Well…most of them… Raven rolled her eyes inwardly. Don't you do that to me! I make up the part of you who actually acknowledges the Titans as friends!  The voice was harsh this time. A picture of a girl who looked exactly like Raven, except her outfit was all pale blue, appeared in Raven's mind shaking her finger at her. Fine, fine. Wait… I… acknowledge the Titans as friends… Don't I? Raven's voice was shaky and unsure. Silence overwhelmed her, scaring her. Don't…I? Raven felt afraid of the answer. And frankly, the other side of her was too. No…The voice was a hoarse whisper. You don't…I do. Keep in mind that you said I was only 1% of you… Raven was silent after that. No, she never played with the Titans, or joined them in their stupid games… but that wasn't her fault… Or was it? Yes, her powers were "disturbing" every time she felt something, but… she could at least try… couldn't she? No! No, she thought. This is stupid! I can't even try! Chaos will erupt! Raven battled her mind vigorously, her hands clutching her head. No. I am leaving tomorrow for Azarath. That is final. Nothing or no one can change my mind. Raven rubbed her temples in complete silence for at least 2 minutes straight. Are you sure? A picture of Beast Boy floated into her mind. Raven's eyes widened, and then she narrowed her eyebrows, surprised that she would dare.

And all the while, Beast Boy was watching. From the time she had sat down to right then, he had been watching her every movement. To him it seemed like Raven was fighting herself, deciding whether she should go or not. Or… she could be deciding where to stay on her home planet. It occurred to Beast Boy, that she might leave…and… never come back…ever… And the thought scared him more than anything else… because he loved her…more than anything else.

Raven sighed.

"That is IT!" She growled. "I have HAD IT!" After some time of fumbling with her belongings, she found a mirror with devilish designs curving around the edges. Closing her eyes, she stepped into her mind.

Beast Boy reverted back into his normal form, eying the mirror. Hmm… he thought. Should I? No!! I just came here to spy! That's violating enough of her rights! But then, his leg took on a life of its own. Shaking, he struggled to put it back where it used to be. Just then, his other leg took action. NO! No, he cried in his poor mind. No… I can't do this! For a second he struggled to think of the worst possible situations if he did. Finally deciding, he crept up to the mirror and stepped in. Shaking, he found himself standing on a floating rock that looked as if it was going to fall any second. He saw Raven walking down the pathway and stop suddenly.

"Beast Boy, get out of my mind NOW!" She whirled around, fuming and shaking with rage. "Now." she ordered in a low, menacing voice that echoed through out the never-ending land. How does she do that? Beast Boy shook his head. Dude, that is so unfair.

"Did I not mention, NOW, Beast Boy or is that too complicated for your puny mind to comprehend?" she said in a harsh tone. "Leave." Beast Boy shook as he backed off and stepped out of the mirror. Raven followed him shortly. Beast Boy turned to go.

"I think I'll just go now," he said sheepishly, tip toeing away as if Raven couldn't hear him if he didn't.

"I don't think so. Not without some answers."

"Who's gonna make me?" Beast Boy shape-shifted into a tiger as he tried to dart away. Tried. Raven rolled her eyes quickly, not wanting to waste time. Just as Beast Boy thought he was free, a black aurora surrounded him and he was brought back to the gothic girl. Immediately she started to interrogate him.

"WHAT were you doing in my mind? Better yet, what were you doing following me?" Beast Boy was silent, afraid to say something lest he was punished. Black energy curved around his body, making its way up his neck.

"Tell me." The boy said nothing in fear, fear of her, in fear of Raven. Raven tightened the black energy, causing Beast Boy to yell suddenly in pain.

"Fine, fine, I'll tell you," he wailed. "Just please don't hurt me!" (A/N: Typical.) He took a breath. "I-I- just wanted to see if you were really going to leave… We don't want you to, you know… None of the Titans do." Raven was quiet for a moment, but then she spoke.

"I have to." Beast Boy was quick to counter her words. It only took one.

"Why?" Raven was speechless for about 2 minutes. Then…

"Leave now."

"I want to know why." Beast Boy was persistent.

"Leave."

"Give me an answer and I will."

"How about I give you no answer and you leave anyway?"

"I'm not leaving without an answer." Raven was getting mad. Who was he to question her like he was supposed to know about her personal life? Voice vibrating with anger, annoyance, and guilt, Raven spoke in a menacing growl, signaling for anyone in sight to run for their lives.

"Leave."

"I want to know and I won't take no for an answer." Ravens eyes grew red and she started to swell to 10 times her normal height…

Meanwhile back at the tower…

"I wonder where Beast Boy is," said Cyborg, sitting on the couch playing video games.

"I don't know…" Robin looked out the window. Then he saw a huge dark figure in a blue cloak grow, and grow, and grow. "But wherever he is, he managed to get Raven mad." Cyborg chuckled.

"That's the one thing he's good at doing besides playing video games." At that they both burst into fits of laughter, not being able to stop.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Beast Boy yelled in fright. If Raven could hear him now, she gave no sign that she could.

"Ok, Raven! I'm sorry! I'll go now!" yelled Beast Boy over the howling winds.

"No," Raven's voice hissed in a low menacing tone. "Now you are mine…." (A/N: Yes, that is all for the Raven/Beast Boy action for today… Sorry!)

Starfire came in.

"What is all the happy laughter about?" she asked innocently. The boys could not even stop to answer her. Instead, Star shrugged it off and sat down on the couch, playing with her fingers. Oh well, she thought silently to herself. At least they're happy!  With that she smiled and got up. "I will be in my room then." The naïve girl floated happily to her room, humming.

"Finally Robin and Cyborg stopped laughing. The boy Wonder sighed.

"You make really good jokes these days…." Cy laughed some.

"Yeah… I guess I do…" The metal man suddenly got an idea. "Hey Robin?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna play some video games?"

"Yeah sure, but get ready to eat my dust!"

"Not before I kick our butt!" With that they both jumped over the couch and each grabbed a controller.

"Hey, I wonder how beast boys doing," said Cyborg, viciously pressing the tiny buttons on the controller.

"He's probably doing fine. Raven always lets him go." The two continued playing after that, every now and then screaming insults at each other. But what the two boys did not see was a small green figure being lifted up to Raven's mouth….
