Midnight Raven

Summary: Raven finds Beast Boy on the roof after Terra's death. She conjures up Terra's ghost and allows her to take over her body so Beast Boy can say goodbye properly. But what happens when BB tries to say thank you in his own special way?

Raven sipped her tea and glanced at the empty chair beside her. The whole table was silent. Everyone was just picking at their food not eating. Finally Starfire spoke, tears in her voice

"I believe tonight is the night of movies." she said softly. No one responded. Finally Robin patted her shoulder

"I don't think a movie is the best idea tonight Star. We'll have it tomorrow instead." the alien girl nodded trying to keep her tears from spilling over. She glanced at the doors

"I wish friend Beast Boy would come out from his room. It has been three days and he has refused any food I offer him."

"Ya man. I even offered him some of that nasty tofu stuff and he wouldn't even talk to me." Cyborg reported quietly

"He's in shock." Raven stated "Terra was very close to him. None of us wanted her to go like she did." everyone nodded "He just needs time. Let him grieve for a few more days. If he doesn't perk up then we'll have to do something." Robin nodded. Raven was an empath and he guessed she had read the green teenager's emotions

"I think you're right Raven." he stood and carried everyone's plates over to the sink. It was supposed to be Beast Boy's turn to do dishes. Starfire floated over to help him.

Raven walked down the hall and turned left into a hallway with a flight of stairs and a door at the end. She climbed the stairs slowly thinking about the past few days. She might hate Terra with everything she had but she hated seeing her friend so depressed even more. The team needed Beast Boy's light humor to lift their spirits.

She opened the door slowly and stopped when she saw a hunched over figure at the edge of the roof. It was Beast Boy and he was shaking all over as if he was trying to hold back sobs

"Beast Boy?" Raven whispered walking over to him. His head shot up and he turned around wiping his eyes

"Oh, hey Raven. Did you want to use the roof?" Raven shook her head and sat down next to him drawing her knees into her chest letting her cloak drape back behind her shoulders

"I know you're upset and angry but holing up in your room isn't doing you or anyone else any good." Beast Boy sorted

"And this is coming from the person who practically lives inside her room?" Raven sighed and rested her chin on her knees

"I guess I deserved that. I'm just worried about you, Beast Boy." the changeling looked at her with disbelieving eyes. Raven kept talking

"I miss her too you know." Beast Boy stood up angrily and looked down at the Goth girl with fuming eyes

"Miss her! You hated her Raven. You're probably happy she's dead." Raven's body shot up into the air, so she was at eye level with him

"I would never wish her dead Beast Boy. I didn't want her to die. If there was a way for me to bring her back I'd do it in a heartbeat."

"Why? You said-." Raven cut him off angrily. Her feet were levitating a foot off the ground so now she was staring down at Beast Boy

"I said I didn't trust her. You're not the only person she hurt Beast Boy. I've never trusted anyone besides you and the other Titans. Everyone else in my life has either turned away or tried to hurt me. I thought that we could be friends. That she could show me how to be normal. But she turned around and stabbed us in the back!" Raven's eyes were beginning to get a reddish glint in them but Beast Boy stared back at her defiantly. Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew past them and Raven dropped back to the ground dizzily.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to regain control over her powers and her anger. Finally she calmed down but tears were streaming down her face. She didn't notice though

"Why would you bring her back if she did all that to you?" Beast Boy demanded harshly. Raven turned away from him and hugged herself under her cloak

"Because she made you happy." she whispered "She never put you down or made fun of your jokes. Because you loved her." she felt Beast Boy's anger reside and heard him walk over. He placed both hands on her shoulders gently. Raven stiffened for a moment afraid he would yell at her again

"I'm sorry Rae. I should've yelled at you. You were just trying to help. Forgive me?" Raven turned around slowly. Tears had made small tracks across her pale face which was now visible since her hood had fallen down when she had been yelling. Her quiet indigo eyes searched Beast Boy's grief torn green ones. After a moment she nodded

"Yes. I forgive you." Beast Boy sighed in relief and managed a weak grin. Raven returned the favor and smiled lightly. They both sat back down in silence, watching the waves crash against the shore of Titans island. Beast Boy sighed heavily and rested his chin in his hands. Raven glanced at him out of the corner of her eye

"I just wish I could say goodbye to her. Maybe that would help me let her go." he sighed again and stared at the stars in the night sky. Suddenly a hand grabbed his and the next thing he knew he was in Raven's room and she was searching frantically through her books like a madwomen. He stood from his sitting position and looked around the darkened room warily

"Uh Raven? You feeling okay?" the girl refused to answer him. She tore through the books her eyes searching the pages frantically

"Raven? Yo Raven!" he touched her shoulder and the girl jumped at least two feet in the air and whirled around. She was holding a book in one hand and the other was pressed over her heart

"Don't do that!" she said in shock. Beast Boy removed the hand carefully then looked at her

"What are you doing?" he asked waving his arms in the air chibi style

"I'm looking for a spell that allows the sprit of a person who's recently passed away to talk with those left behind for a certain amount of time." this answer left Beast Boy even more confused

"In English please?" he asked annoyed with Raven's extensive vocabulary. The dark girl rolled her eyes and continued to look through the books as she answered

"I might be able to summon Terra's ghost so you can say goodbye to her properly. I just need to find the spell." Beast Boy's mouth hung open

"You're doing this all for me?" Raven shrugged as if it was no big deal

"We're friends. That's what friends do."

"Most friends don't call up ghosts of their dead friends so the two friends can say goodbye to each other." Raven stopped her searching and looked at him with a cocked eyebrow

"And you thought I was difficult to understand. Aha!" Beast Boy cocked his head slightly not following the swift change of subject

"Huh?" he questioned. Raven turned around levitating an open book in front of her. She started gathering up several objects and some strange looking pouches then started sprinkling a symbol on the floor with some kind of white powder. She placed several dried plants at each point of the symbol then stood dusting her hands off

"Okay. You stay there and no matter what, do not touch anything." the last part was growled. Beast Boy sat down on the floor looking as innocent as an angel. A green elf-like angel

"Stay here and don't touch. Got it!" Raven rolled her eyes then stepped into the middle of the symbol and rose into the air. Her hands were crossed over her chest and her head was bowed

"Azarath Rex Irinthidel Metrion Lidica Naramu Zinthos!" she said loudly. Black power reached out and enveloped her body. There was a bright flash of white light that all but blinded Beast Boy. He raised an arm over his eyes to shield them from the blaze of power. After a moment everything seemed quiet and he lowered the arm. Raven was now standing on the ground looking at him with small tears in her… blue eyes? He stood slowly and looked at her carefully. She smiled slightly

"Terra?" he breathed. The girl nodded and ran to hug him. Beast Boy enveloped her in his arms holding onto her tightly

"Beast Boy, I am so unbelievably sorry. If I had just let you and the Titans help me instead of running to Slade-." Beast Boy covered her mouth with a gloved finger

"I forgive you Terra. No hard feelings okay?" he hugged her again "Man I missed you." Terra pulled away and looked at him sadly

"So did I. But I can't stay here long. I'm dead BB. I can't come back."

"I know."

"But I can do this." she smiled then Beast Boy heard her whisper to herself "Raven is so gonna hate me for this." suddenly Terra was kissing him softly on the lips. He knew Raven would kill him for this but he kissed her back. Terra nibbled on his bottom lip and he opened his mouth allowing her to enter. Ya Raven was going to murder him.

Finally Terra broke away slowly. Her eyes were still closed as if she was savoring the moment. She looked up at Beast Boy and smiled sadly

"I have to go now." she whispered squeezing his hand gently. She turned to walk back into the symbol then stopped and looked back at him " And Beast Boy?"

"Ya Terra?" the girl's blue eyes held his for a long moment then she smiled at him

"Just because I'm gone don't think that you don't have a chance at love."

Beast Boy opened his mouth to respond but the girl had entered the symbol and he barely had time to cover his eyes as the white blaze filled the room. He opened his eyes again and saw Raven standing in front of him, arms crossed, tapping one foot. He grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. Oh man, if looks could kill…

"Did you have fun with Terra?" she asked harshly. Beast Boy winced and looked down at the ground. Raven sighed and brought his head up with her hand

"I'm not mad. Not really. I'm glad you got to say goodbye to Terra." she paused then made a face as if she had just smelled sour milk "But you taste like tofu!" Beast Boy laughed

"Sorry Raven. She started it though." Raven rolled her eyes then they widened as Beast Boy took her hand gently. She tried to pull away but he held her tightly

"Thank you so much Raven." he whispered before leaning in and planting a gentle kiss on Raven's lips. Her eyes closed as if by instinct and when he started to pull away she grabbed the front of his uniform and pulled him back. At first she could feel the surprise radiating off of him then he started kissing her back.

'Okay this was stupid. I don't know anything about-.' ' Raven's chain of thought was broken as Beast Boy gently pried her mouth open with his lips and started exploring her mouth with his tongue. She shivered at the sensation and put her arms around Beast Boy's neck. He slid his hands under her cloak and rested them on her hips.

Soon they broke away but only for a moment. This time Raven nibbled on the changeling's bottom lip as she had felt Terra do. He obliged the request and opened his mouth. She was timid as she explored his mouth and Beast Boy smiled inwardly. Raven was just as inexperienced as he was. That made him feel a little bit better.

Slowly but surely he pulled Raven towards the bed so he could sit down. Raven followed him nervously. He sat and pulled her into his lap wrapping her legs around his waist with gentle hands. Raven watched him for a moment then squeaked in surprise as he kissed her again. This time though it wasn't on her mouth. It was on her collarbone which was hidden under her leotard. He moved up to the underside of her jaw bringing a soft moan from the girl. He moved over to her cheek

"Beast Boy." he kissed her again under the jaw. Raven bit back a moan of pleasure "Beast Boy." she repeated this time a little louder. He ignored her and bit her earlobe gently, his breath tickling her ear "Beast Boy!" this time she got the changeling's attention. He looked at down her in confusion

"What? Did I do something wrong?" Raven shook her head and quickly stopped him from kissing her again

"I think we should stop, Beast Boy." she whispered, even though her whole mind (and her emotions) screamed for her to keep going

"Why?" he asked softly tracing the lines on her palms, his green eyes never leaving her indigo ones. Raven sighed

"I don't want to either. But I think we should before we do something we might regret." Beast Boy nodded hesitantly and kissed her hand gently before letting her untangle her legs and cloak from his waist.

Raven flicked a hand and the symbol on the floor cleaned itself up and the plants went back into their respective pouches. Beast Boy stayed where he was on the edge of the bed watching her move around the room putting her books back on the shelves carefully. After a moment she paused and turned to him

"What?"

"Nothing." he stood and smiled at the girl "Thanks Raven." the girl held up one hand

"The last time you said that we ended up kissing for like half an hour. Be quiet." Beast Boy laughed both his fangs glinting in the darkness. Then his face turned serious

"Raven."

"What?"

"Did you notice that nothing broke?" the girl nodded

"I noticed."

"Maybe that means that you can show love and affection without your powers getting out of control." Raven glanced back at him

"What do you mean?" Beast Boy shrugged slightly

"That maybe… I dunno. We could go out sometime." Raven smiled softly

"I'd like that. Now why don't you go to your own room before someone gets wise." Beast Boy grinned and left the room. Raven caught his shoulder stopping him for a second. He turned around expecting a goodnight kiss.

"You still smell like tofu." she said before shutting the door in his face. He groaned.

Well what do ya'll think? Like it? Love it? Want some more of it? LOL. Well if you guys like send me some ideas for shots if you don't have time to write them yourselves. Okay?
