I don't own the Teen Titans

Dames and Demons

-----------------------------

"Raven!" Robin yelled watching helplessly as his teammate's eyes glowed red and she gained another set on top. She laughed mercilessly as her powers tossed debris like toys.

It had been almost two months since Trigon had been defeated. But, as Raven had carefully explained, just because he was gone didn't mean she was totally free. She was still part demon.

"Friend Raven, please stop! I do not wish to harm you!" Starfire yelled as she caught slabs of concrete the enraged girl was throwing.

Raven whirled and sent a blast of dark power at the alien princess. Starfire yelped as she flew into a wall across the warehouse.

"Starfire!" Robin cried, trying to get to his feet again but pain flooded his senses and he was forced to stay still. He'd been right next to Raven when her demon side had taken over. In the explosion of power he'd been smashed against a wall and in the battle he'd broken a few ribs and he was pretty sure his right shoulder was dislocated.

"Sorry Raven!" Cyborg yelled blasting the half demon with his sonic cannon. It had a little effect but it also enraged her all the more. "Where's BB?" the robot yelled over his shoulder.

"I don't know!" Robin yelled back trying desperately to come up with a plan. He looked around frantically. Everything in this place was a weapon if Raven used it right.

Nearby a green light exploded and Starfire launched herself into the air and began peppering Raven with starbolts. A black shield enveloped the sorceress.

"You are all fools!" the demon roared "Without Trigon, Raven has no purpose! She was created to serve him!"

"Says you!" Beast Boy yelled falling from one of the beams along the ceiling. The attack took Raven completely by surprise. The changeling tackled her and pinned her down to the floor. He held her down as she bucked and thrashed against his hold "Raven's not worthless." he growled "Don't you ever tell her she's worthless. She means more to me than anyone else in the world."

For a brief moment the red eyes flickered and returned to violet. "B-Beast Boy?" Raven's soft melodious voice whispered.

The shape-shifter nodded frantically "It's me Rae. Fight it, don't give in. I know you're not doing this on purpose."

Raven stared at him a moment longer then her eyes flashed back to red. With a violent kick she thrust the boy off her.

Before Cyborg or Starfire could drive her back she threw a black shield over the two of them. With a furious war cry Starfire flew at the dome, hammering on it with her alien strength.

Cyborg made his way over to Robin and carefully helped his friend out of the rubble. The Boy Wonder leaned heavily against the android's side.

"We've gotta get in there!" Cyborg said urgently "Raven could really hurt BB!"

"She could kill him." Robin said gravely. "Is there any way to get through?"

The metal man shook his head "Star's doing the only thing that might work. Hammering on it hard enough might snap Rae's concentration."

Robin nodded "Go help her." he ordered slowly lowering himself down onto the floor "I'll try to see if I can call in any of the other Titans."

Cyborg nodded and hurried over to help his alien friend. He swung a mighty fist… and nearly fell flat on his face! The shield had disappeared!

As the smoke from Starfire's starbolts faded an unbelievable seen unfolded before the three Titan's eyes.

Raven was poised over Beast Boy as he had been only a few moments ago. Her cloak was splayed out hiding their bodies. But even more astonishing was Beast Boy's position. He had one arm thrown around Raven's neck and the other gripping her waist tightly. And his lips were pressed against the half demon's!

Slowly they broke apart. Then Raven collapsed on the changeling.

---------------------------------------------------------

Beast Boy gritted his teeth tightly as Cyborg pored antiseptic into the wound on his neck. A little dipped down the front of his bare chest making him shiver.

"I can't believe Raven bit you." Cyborg said putting the bottle down and dapping at the wound with a cotton ball.

"She wasn't exactly herself, Cy. Rae would never hurt any of us if she was thinking straight." the shape-shifter took the swab and held it against the wound hissing under his breath from the sting.

"I must agree with Beast Boy," Starfire said. Her torso was wrapped up with white gauze and she was wearing one of Robin's old tee shirt that she had cut the stomach off of so it was much like her uniform top"Raven warned us she might have problems."

Robin sighed and scuffed his boot against the floor. His shoulder was bandaged and his right arm was in a sling."It was just… too strange. When she did that to Dr. Light all we had to do was yell her name and she snapped out of it."

Beast Boy stood up and slid a purpletee shirt over his head. He glanced at the floating girl on the hospital bed. Starfire had changed her into a pair of grey slacks and a plain tee shirt since her cloak and leotard had been shredded by their attacks. Her vitals were steady. Cyborg had reported that she should be waking up soon… but that was six hours ago.

"What if she doesn't want to get up?" he wondered aloud.

"What're you talking about?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy sat in a chair thinking for a moment "Remember how Cy and I went into Rae's mind? Maybe she'd hiding there. Maybe she's scared we're going to kick her out or something."

Robin seemed to consider this theory for a moment "I suppose that's possible…" he admitted after a moment.

"Or she could be putting Rage back in her place." Cyborg offered "I mean we were in there for the whole day and it only seemed like a couple of hours. Time passes differently there."

The four Titans were silent for a few minutes. Then Beast Boy stood up and walked over to the motionless girl. He reached down and took her small hand in his "I'm not mad at you Rae. None of us are," he whispered running his thumb over her soft palms "We want to help you. Please don't hide from us. We're your friends."

As if to respond Raven's eyelids fluttered and her heartbeat began to pick up a little. Cyborg quickly checked the computer but all readouts concluded the dark Titan was fine.

Raven's eyes snapped open and she sat straight up. Her eyes rested on Starfire's wrapped stomach and the sling supporting Robin's arm. "I-." tears gathered in the violet orbs.

"Easy girl," Cyborg said as she started to get off the bed "You're not going anywhere. Especially to your room."

Raven looked at him then put her legs back on the bed. She folded them under her and stared at her hands. "I'm sorry." she whispered.

"Oh," Starfire floated over and hugged her softly "We do not blame you friend Raven. Please do not do the hiding in your room." she begged.

The half demon looked around and her gaze found Robin "I… I'm not going to get kicked off the team am I?" she whispered.

Robin shook his head "I wouldn't even think about it Raven. So you've got some problems that need to be addressed, who doesn't?" he smiled and patted her hand "I need you around to keep me from loosing focus on what's really important in my life." he glanced at Starfire who blushed and averted her gaze.

Raven reached out and placed her hand on his bandaged arm "Let me-."

"No, you're still weak. I'll be fine, I've had worse." Robin said gently.

Cyborg patted her shoulder "You just take it easy for a couple of days okay kid? We can handle everything, right BB?" he looked around the room "BB? Where'd the little booger go?"

"Probably to get some food, you know how he is after a big fight." Robin said dismissively getting off of Raven's bed. "Come on guys let's go get some lunch."

No one noticed the concerned frown on Raven's face.

I've had this story idea written down for months but I never got around to doing it. And since I'm taking a break between my trilogy stories.

There will be a part two!

Feel free to reveiw and/or flame. Flames are fun!
