R&R plese!
Beast Boy woke up. He had slept on the ground and his back was stiff. He looked around for a clock and suddenly Crush appeared.
"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WAKE UP IT'S THREE AM!" she yelled. Beast Boy groaned and sat up. Wisdom appeared next to Crush.
"Why did I get the job of training Crush!" Wisdom moaned. Beast Boy shrugged.
"Um, so what are you doing up at THREE?" Beast Boy asked.
"I am starting my daily six hour meditation. Would you like to join me?" Wisdom replied. Not wanting to be rude Beast Boy accepted. Wisdom clapped her hands and they were on a hill. A brown and a green mat lay on the hill. They sat down.
"Clear your mind and-"
"Hey! You talk like those tapes on finding the 'inner you'" Beast Boy interrupted. He laughed and then, seeing Wisdom's face quieted.
"Ahem, as I said clear your mind and focus," Wisdom finished not wanting to waste any time. Beast Boy tried and tried but his mind kept wandering.
"Beast Boy pick something, the first thing that comes to your mind and focus!" Wisdom snapped. Beast Boy waited and sure enough a thought popped into his head. Raven. He concentrated on her picture and his experiences and-
"Beast Boy! Beast Boy! It's been six hours wake up! Not bad for a first timer but you fell asleep," Wisdom said shaking Beast Boy. He got up and bowed, thanking Wisdom.
"Bye I'm gonna explore Raven's um, mind" Beast Boy said. It still seemed weird to be inside someone's, let alone Raven's mind. He turned around and set off down the path.
Soon Beast Boy decided to go down the closest path to Wisdom's path. But, he almost reconsidered. It was Anger's. Beast Boy gulped and then walked down the path. The screams from the record player rang through the air. Beast Boy winced and trudged on. He was about to round the corner when he caught a glimpse of a cage. It was powerful and strong but poorly cared for. What would be kept in that? Beast Boy asked himself. As he entered Anger's domain he stopped. Anger was inside the cage.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" shouted Anger. She walked forward and glared at him but not before flicking him off.
"Um, Beast Boy. Why are you in a cage?" he replied. Anger blinked for a second stunned at the kindness she was being shown. Then her spiteful tone retuned.
"Because that ---- of a person Raven locked me in here. Even Trigon gets a room. Well, it's surrounded by magic, and air tight but still!" Anger shouted. To Beast Boy Anger seemed more helpless than well, angry.
"Well I am sorry you are in a cage. It's like being in a zoo. I know the feeling. At age ten I turned into a frog and got caught by a zoo keeper. I couldn't risk my power being shown so for one month I was stuck in a zoo eating crickets. It almost drove me crazy," Beast Boy. Anger scowled and muttered a few words in Demonic that by the tone in which she said them weren't pretty.
"Well bye," Beast Boy added before he left. Anger swore and turned around. She was trying to sound more like anger but this act of kindness was too shocking for her to handle.
Beast Boy turned around and walked down the path to the circle.
Raven woke up late that morning. Her head hurt and then she remembered. Beast Boy was in her mind.
"Well I guess I have to check on him," she scowled. Raven reached for her mirror and sunk into an easy meditation.
When she was in her mind she saw Beast Boy walking out of Anger's path. Raven walked up to him.
"What were you doing with Anger?" Raven asked. Beast Boy smiled and sat down. Raven did the same.
"We talked. How come you keep her in a cage and why is it so dirty?" Beast Boy asked. Raven looked away. A single tear fell down her cheek. When it reached the air it turned into a raven and joined the rest of the fifty or so ravens in the dead tree.
"Each of those ravens is one of my tears. That's number fifty four. Well, when I was twelve my only friend was fooling around with a knife and poking a kid with it. She was my only friend so I never objected to her mean ways but this time it wasn't hurting me, it was another kid. I yelled at her to stop but she just laughed. I felt my anger rising and suddenly I couldn't stop. Shadows rose and well let's just say that her funeral was soon after. I was banished from Azarath and came here," Raven told her story. She expected Beast Boy to run or scream or do something but all he did was hug her. Raven started crying and ravens took to the sky.
"Shh it's okay Raven, I-" Beast Boy began but stopped. He didn't know what to say. Raven looked up and slowly tears stopped. She waved her fingers and all of the ravens but the first one Beast Boy met yesterday were gone. Raven wiped her eyes and stood up. She extended her hand and pulled Beast Boy up. They smiled and walked down a new path that belonged to Brave. Slowly Beast Boy reached for Raven's had and unknowingly Raven took BB's. They walked faster and soon they came to a normal sized house with large windows. Inside they could see a large gym with rock walls and a giant jungle gym. Raven opened the door.
The green-cloaked Brave jumped down from a gymnastics pole and landed right in front of Beast Boy. He screamed then calmed down.
"So, we meet again," Brave said smiling. She ran over to the rock wall and returned with two harnesses. She handed one to Beast Boy and put the other one on herself.
"What about Raven?" Beast Boy asked.
"I have all ready spent a long time here. I must be almost time for lunch," Raven replied.
"Lunch! You have only been here for like an hour!" Beast Boy yelled. Raven smiled.
"Actually only half of an hour. Time travels much faster when I am in my mind. Do you want me to tell the Titans anything?"
"Ya. Tell them I'm fine,"
"Ok. Bye,"
"Bye"
"See-ya," Raven said. Where did that cheesy saying come from? Raven asked herself. Love was definitely messing with her.
"See-ya," Beast Boy replied. Raven blushed then breathed slowly before disappearing. Brave poked BB before running to the rock wall.
Beast Boy didn't know how long he was at the gym but Crush was glad to tell him. It was almost dinner time and he was starving. Crush led him to her domain and once again there was tofu was on the grill.
"Do you like it?" Crush asked. She had grown a lot since Beast Boy had last seen her. Crush was now like ten or so. Her hair was long and tied in a ponytail. She still stared at BB in a dreamy way batting her eyelashes but the screaming in all capital letters and the constant following around had stopped.
R&R! Thank You! 3
