Chapter 1. Midnight Walk and Reunions

Raven walked down the dark streets of Jump City. It was midnight and only the moonlight illuminated her sight. The wind was rustling the leaves that had fallen from the trees. She had been out for hours…alone…no one seemed to notice that she had left the Tower. It wasn't new to her now that she came back, they had found an antidote to free her from her stone prison but now… everyone was around Terra, spent more time with her, especially Beastboy he is going out her and it pained her to see him with another girl.

She began to drift away from them their friendship was close to breaking she barely had contact with them, barely spoke…thus Raven became invisible to them. They no longer saw her, heard her, felt her presence; they forgot her. She was alone she couldn't take all this pain she needed to get out of there. She did everyday she would leave the Tower and take her long walks. And today was no different.

She continued to walk trying to keep her emotions in check she knew being in there would cause her pain because Terra was there and Terra was with Beastboy. Her mind was an emotional wreck and the only way to calm down was to leave. Lifting her head she saw the Tower the lights were turned off everyone was sleeping. She could go in unnoticed again she wouldn't be discovered, she knew it was against the rules to leave the Tower at night those where Robin's rules. Deciding this was a good time to go back she took flight to the Tower.

Raven stood in front of the door. Cautiously she turned the knob not wanting to make a sound. Stepping in the darkness that flooded the living room she turned back and closed the door slowly. After it lock in place she began to make her way to her room, when suddenly she heard the door that connected to the hallway open. Quickly she pressed up against a wall letting the shadows cover her body from being seen.

The figure stood at the door, yawning it began to walk forward to the kitchen. Raven watched from where she hid, the figure was approaching her. She cursed herself for choosing to hide near the refrigerator. The figure was close, Raven was breathing slowly. The person stopped in its tracks and turned around as if it had heard something. Returning back to what the person was doing, it opened the refrigerator the light from inside poured out reveling the figure's face.

"Beastboy…" Raven thought. There he was his green face, his emerald eyes, his lean body, his height a few inches taller then her and his short green hair. She stared memorized but she had a sad expression she knew she couldn't have him…he was with someone else…he loved Terra not her she had to stop thinking about him! It was not right; no one in his or her right mind would ever love a half demon.

He seemed to be tired as he reached into the fridge taking anything out. Luckily he got out the Soy Milk. Closing the fridge door he took the cartoon and drank from it. Raven saw the milk trickle down his cheeks when he drank she continued to stare as he wiped the liquid off his cheeks and threw the cartoon in the trash.

Beastboy felt he was being watched, he could feel a presence somehow…light breathing… His ears began to twitch trying to pick up any sound. Raven noticed and quickly stopped breath. She knew if she were caught she would be in trouble. She thought of using her Raven form to teleport out but Beastboy would see it. Her only option was to wait…to wait in this darkness.

Beastboy stepped closer to her staring straight at her, looking into her violet eyes. He reached an arm out in the darkness as if trying to reach something. He didn't feel anything. Having a confused expression he turned back and left the living room.

Raven let out a sigh of relief. That was close, real close. Slowly she stepped out of the shadows, looking around making sure no one was there, she began towards her room. Standing in front of the door it opened but there appeared Beastboy as if he had been waiting.

He raised an eyebrow curious to why Raven was up at this time. He hadn't seen her a lot these past weeks she always seemed to disappear from the Tower or she would stay locked in her room for hours... He was beginning to get worried, his once closest friend now seemed far away like she was invisible…

Raven was shocked and speechless. She had been caught! She stepped back trying to get away from the person that most pained her… only he came closer a look of worry crossed his features, his eyes full of concern.

"Raven?…why are you out here?" Beastboy asked softly looking straight into her eyes. Raven looked at the floor should she confess or lie. If she confessed she would get a lecture from Robin about breaking the rules and possibly be asked questions to why she left and were. Having no other choice she did what she had to do.

"I…I…was…sleeping on the couch…and I was going back…to my room," Raven lied trying to make up an answer as quickly as she could. But Beastboy could see right through her lie he knew she was out there the whole time. How did he know? Well after getting his Soy Milk when he heard breathing, he had approached the sound, when he came close a scent filled his nose a lavender scent…He knew it was Raven.

"Don't lie to me," Beastboy said. Raven turned her gaze to the floor then back up at his emerald eyes.

"I'm not lying. Now please can you get out of my way, I need to get to my room," Raven said sternly trying not to let any emotion out. But Beastboy didn't budge.

"Were have you been going all these nights? Its like you don't exist anymore I never see you," he asked her. Beastboy knew she left every night, because the scent of lavender would be absent.

Raven's face remained emotionless as she responded.

"That is none of your business," she responded coldly. Beastboy shook his head.

"No, It is my business. Raven, you're my friend. I'm just worried something bad could happen to you," he answered softly with concern, his eyes soften as he said these truthful words. Raven noticed his emerald eyes and she was captivated by them, Coming back to reality she turned her back to him forbidding her from seeing such beautiful eyes, if she continued to see, her heart would pour out her feelings…

"You have Terra…what do you care…" she whispered barely audible as she crossed her arms in front of her chest her back still faced him. Her expression was filled with sorrow a frown adorned her pale face. Her violet eyes sparkled with tears she tried to hold back.

Beastboy was shocked; he heard her answer and began to feel confusion as he processed her words "You have Terra…what do you care…" he didn't know what she meant. Was he truly this blind?

"What do you mean?" Beastboy asked as he stared at the back of her cloak.

Raven noticed her mistake a look of fear covered her features thinking of something quickly she responded.

"…Nothing it meant nothing…now, please move so I can go to my room," Raven answered with a slight quiver in her voice. Beastboy eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. Letting out a sigh he stepped out of her way letting her pass. Raven walked past him, a breeze of lavender filled his nose, she stopped abruptly.

"Don't tell Robin…please," she said as she stood still. She turned her head and looked at him with pleading eyes he saw how she wanted to keep this a secret…

"I wont tell—" Beastboy began. Raven sighed in relief.

"If…you tell me where you were and what you were doing," Beastboy said, she had to answer and he would finally know were the dark girl went every night.

Raven's face turned to shock she couldn't believe him. He was blackmailing her! Her eyebrows narrowed in frustration.

"How dare you! Blackmailing me to force me to tell you!" Raven shouted at him. Beastboy noticed this displeased her and began to feel guilty.

"I…I'm sorry I just really, really want to know!" he responded back feeling guilty but he had a reason to do what he did. What was she hiding?

"That doesn't give you any right!" she yelled in his face.

"Well what are you hiding? How do I know if it's bad or good? How am I supposed to know if anything happened to you," Beastboy, questioned as his voice got higher close to a yell. He to was beginning to get angry.

"If I don't want to tell you I don't have to! And I am not hiding anything!" Raven shouted back. Beastboy sighed loudly.

"Raven! You are hiding something I just know it! Tell me were you go and why? Please, I promise I won't tell anyone else!" he shouted back as he pleaded with concern filling his emerald eyes.

Raven stepped back at the sight of his eyes averting her gaze to the floor she turned around so he wouldn't see her face. She couldn't tell him the reason she left the Tower at night was because she couldn't stand the pain of knowing Terra was with him. If she told him it could possibly wreck their friendship and maybe make Terra hate her if it was possible, more.

Beastboy was getting tired of her always turning away and not facing him. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around. When he did he saw something that made his heart ache.

Raven was crying, her tears, crystal clear as they made their way down her pale cheeks. Her violet hair framing her face from the turn that Beastboy did to her, her expression was of pain and sorrow, she gasped when Beastboy saw her tears. She placed her hands to his chest and pushed him away from her, breaking the grip of his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at him seeing his face filled with sadness and concern.

Taking her fingers, she used them to wipe all her tears away and push back her hair. She looked up at him.

"Don't touch me…" she replied trying to sound as cold as she could but Beastboy could see right through her act.

"Raven why are you crying? What's wrong?" He questioned the dark beauty that only stared back.

"Nothing is wrong and I was not crying," she responded hoping this would stop his questions.

"No, something is wrong, please tell me, you can trust me Raven, remember I'm your friend" He told her as he stepped closer. His words made her heart tare apart that was the problem he was only her…friend…nothing more…

"That's just it…" she whispered. Before Beastboy had time to ask what she meant someone had appeared next to them coming from the Hallway.

"Guys! Your yelling woke me up, and what are you doing out here anyway?" Robin asked as he rubbed his eyes trying to take the sleepiness away. Raven turned to him biting her lip she hoped Beastboy wouldn't tell.

"I—" Raven began but Beastboy interrupted.

"Sorry Robin, we were just getting something to eat but I kept telling my jokes I guess Raven got mad, right?" he explained to Robin then asked Raven who looked at him in astonishment that he could make up a lie so quickly.

Robin looked at Raven with an eyebrow raised waiting for the answer.

"Yes…" she answered softly.

"Well you guys really should stop fighting, you are friends, remember?" Robin asked both who nodded slowly but Raven held a pained face at the word friends.

"Alright then go back to bed and no more midnight reunions ok?" Robin declared. Again they nodded. Raven looked at Beastboy telling him thanks. He got the message and only nodded. Turning around Raven walked down the hallway to her room.

"You guys need to stop with the arguments, I think you made Raven sad…and that's a huge coming form her. I want you to apologize tomorrow," Robin ordered. Beastboy looked at him for a moment.

"I will," Beastboy, said, he left the living room leaving a satisfied Robin with his work.

Robin sighed as he headed to his room to.

"That's just it…" Raven's words kept replaying in his head; her face filled with tears crossed his mind every time it hurt him when he saw how sad and vulnerable she looked. Raven never showed emotion but if she cried it must of been something bad. He would find out somehow…
