A Restless Night.

Chapter 2.

Raven tossed and turned in her bed as she tried to find sleep but it would never come so she decided to read one of her spell books instead.

"Raven? Are you awake?"

She sighed and walked toward her door but did not open it, crossing her arms over her chest she said. "What do you want Beast boy?"

He fiddled with his hands while thinking of a way for her to let him in, BB told the half Azarathian that he was very worried about her and he wanted to help her out if she would let him.

Raven was shocked; she didn't think that Beast boy cared that much about her and actually wanted his company.

Sighing again, she sat down next to her bed and brought her knees to her chest then told him to come in but to not touch anything.

BB nodded his head and quickly went to her side when he stepped one foot inside.

"Please tell me what's wrong Rae,"

She shook her head while trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to release. "I can't… you'll hate me,"

He scooted closer and moved a piece of hair behind her ear while smiling his usual happy smile, which made Raven blush at the strange jester.

"I'll never hate you; I'll always be there for you even though you're a bully sometimes."

Raven smiled at the comment but blushed again when Beast boy grabbed her hand and kissed the top of it.

"Could you sleep with me just for tonight… please?"

"I'd be happy too, love"

They got in and held each other's hand as well as press their foreheads together before slowly falling asleep.

ooOOOoo

Raven appeared to be flying as she was facing a mountain with the sea below it and saw Robin and Starfire fighting Cinderblock

"Victory at last!"

"Now we can concentrate on saving Terra."

Starfire saw a twinkle in the sky but she quickly realized that it was a rock and pushed Robin out of the way and took the hit to her back.

Raven filed in hopes of catching Starfire but she was too late, Star screamed in pain as a sharp rock impaled her through the chest, leaving a big gaping hole behind.

Her still beating heart rested on the tip and ruby red blood covered the rock as well as her chest and mouth.

Drops of blood continued to drip off her chin and landed into the water while her heart finally stopped beating.

The Tamaranean's eyes were in the back of her head and her head fell back which almost made it seem like she was staring back at the half demon.

Raven reached out to her with tears falling from her violet eyes, hoping, praying that she could help Starfire somehow even though she knew very well that her friend won't be coming back at all.

"Starfire come on we still have to help Terra remember?"

She grabbed her shoulders and gently shook her. "Starfire you have to wake up because if you don't then who's going to meditate with me or, or lift weights with Cyborg or take care of Silkie?"

She shook her head and grabbed her head tightly while more tears came, Raven screamed Starfire's name as she held her best friend and didn't want to leave her side for even a minute.

She kept on saying sorry even if Star couldn't hear her and kept on shaking her too.

"Starfire forgive me,"

Raven grabbed the base of the rock and used some of her powers to cut that section off then took the heart and the body back up to the mountains.

Just like she did with Terra, she closed her eyes as she buried the Tamaranean with a yellow sunflower for her bright and happy personality.

"Starfire can't be dead!"

Robin fell on his knees at the grave and clenched his fists so tightly that his gloves almost ripped. "I'll make Terra pay for this."

"But… Robin, I that we were trying to save Terra?"

"She deserves to die for what she did!"

Rae gasped as she woke up in a cold sweat and she was shaking uncontrollably. "Raven what's-"

It felt like a blur when she ran out of the room so quickly and into the hallway then at Starfire's door.

"STARFIRE ARE YOU ALIVE?!"

Raven tearfully screamed as she shook the Tamaranean awake and leaned in closer to hear if her heart was still beating or not.

"Raven, I'm fine… I'm, I'm alive see?" Starfire and the Beast boy became scared themselves since they never seen Raven this scared and tearful before.

Rae closed her eyes and relaxed when she could hear her heartbeat even though it was going a little fast from her sudden interruption.

Beast boy sat down on the bed and slowly rubbed her back while whipping a tear away, making Raven look at him and blush once again.

"Let's try to go to sleep again okay love?"

She smirked. "I thought that it was love in private?"

Now it was BB's turn to blush, he coughed and walked out of the room without saying another word.

Feeling proud of herself, Raven told Star goodnight and told her that she felt better now than returned to her bedroom.

Just like they did before, they held each other's hand and pressed their foreheads together then slowly fell asleep.

ooOOOoo

Raven yawned and rubbed her eyes; she didn't have a good night's sleep like that in a long time.

She grinned when she heard Beast boy snore in his sleep with drool coming out of his mouth but he still held her hand."Hey, sleepy head" She poked him in the shoulder. "Waky, waky, eggs in baky."

He groaned and turned over while continuing to swallow his drool even though more kept on escaping.

"Herbal… tea…" He muttered before finally sitting up with a yawn. "Morning love… how did you sleep?"

She frowned but smiled again as she remembered that it was all just a dream.

"I slept okay… I'm sorry that I scared you and Starfire last night,"

He shook his head and scooted closer to her then kissed the top of her bare shoulder, making the letter both shocked and slightly embarrassed.

"W… We should, um get dressed I guess."

He smirked when she got up and was going to change but she told him not to look as she grabbed her clothes out of her closet.

Respecting her wishes, BB covered his eyes with both of his hands and waited patiently for his love.

When she gave the okay, he opened his eyes but instead of her normal attire she had on a black leotard that had a long knee-length skirt that had a slit, at the sides, which showed off her hips and legs quite nicely and kitty-heeled shoes.

Her slip-on sleeves were black also; around her waist is her normal red and gold belt.

However, for once she didn't wear her cloak. "Raven, you're… beautiful I mean it's like you always are it's just that you hate wearing dresses but you still are beautiful."

She blushed again and shook her head, almost not believing what he said.

They headed to the living room hand in hand but Raven was worried that the others might not like her new look, so with engorgement; Beast boy went inside first and told the others about it.

She sighed when BB told her to come in and closed her eyes before stepping inside. Rae opened one eye then the other eye to see that the others had shocked looks on their faces.

"H… How is it?"

Starfire ran up to her and gave her a huge hug with a big smile on the princess's face which the half demon returned.

"You look great Rae, are you gonna let your hair grow out too?"

"Maybe, maybe not we'll just have to see."

She walked to the kitchen and made herbal tea like always but smirked when she had an idea.

Making her own tea, she made another one just for Beast boy and wondered what he would think about trying it for the first time.

"Hey, Beast boy why don't you try this tea for me?"

He looked disgusted with it and his eyes began to water when he smelled it, he gulped before taking the tiniest sip that anyone had ever seen but he immediately spit the tea out and threw the rest away.

"YUCK! Oh god, that was the most disgusting thing that I never tasted!" He ran over to the sink and cleaned his mouth with the sink water before spitting it back out.

Raven laughed like a little school girl while she held onto her stomach. "I can't believe that you actually fell for it!"

Beast boy's green ears perked up at her laughing and was mad at first but when he heard her he let it slide… for now at least.

She forced herself to stop laughing since she didn't want to get a stomach ache and went to drink her own tea.

They all sat down on the couch together just looking at TV but Raven's cup rattled when she remembered that she was going to go after Slade next.

Beast boy became worried again and held her shaking hand, which made it stop shaking immediately, but she was still scared.

She nodded her head in thanks and let him hold her hand for as long as he wanted. "So, what's our next move?"

"We're going to confront Slade in his hideout,"

"Come on Robin, his not just going to wait around for us after Terra disappeared,"

"Cyborg we all agreed that we wouldn't talk about her again but I say that we still have to deal with him,"

They all looked at each other, knowing that they had to face him eventually even if he escapes again.

Beast boy gave Raven's hand a gentle tight squeeze, which made her blush and him, smirk at her.

The Titans went to his hideout in the dead of night but the whole city was deathly quiet, too quiet and it made the others sick.

ooOOOoo

"So, you finally arrived… perfect."

"We're here to bring you to justice, Titans go!"

Starfire shot her star bolts at him but he dodged them and looked at Raven who was going to fire darkness at him, however, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"What's the matter Raven? Are you scared to kill me?"

"Shut up!"

"Or are you too scared to tell your friends the truth about Terra?"

"Raven what is he talking about?"

She shook her head and started to tremble and felt her heart beating fast at the horrible memories.

"Let me show you,"

Raven fell on her knees and closed her ears with her hands while closing her eyes as Slade showed them what she did to Terra on the computer screen.

She shook her head as she tried to block out Terra's screams. "STOP IT!"

Cyborg destroyed the screen and grabbed Slade by his neck tightly, his sonic cannon placed at his temple. "I'm going to give you one chance Slade to get out of here or I'm gonna blow your brains out!"

He just chuckled evilly. "I don't I'm the one that you want to kill."

That was the last straw. Raven called upon her father again and walked toward him.

She snapped her fingers which sent darkness to wrap around his arms and legs tightly which pulled them slowly.

"Raven stop!" Robin ran to her but she swiped her arm to the left which pushed a wall of darkness into him.

'Damn it, my body's not listening to me!' Beast boy ran to her and grabbed her arms with tears coming down his face which made Slade drop to the floor.

"Raven please don't give in to him!" She grabbed his arms too with her sharp-clawed hands.

Blood traveled down his arms and dropped on the floor but he wasn't going to give up just like that.

"Love, can you hear me?" She smirked but seemed to listen to him, which gave him hope.

"When the first time that I met you, I had these strong feelings but I was too scared to tell you since you were distant from everyone and when Terra came into the picture I felt happy."

She tightened her grip on his arms, making him groan in pain but he ignored it and continued on.

"But even if I really cared about her you were the only person that I… I love… please, Raven please."

Her eyes widened in shock as she let him go, her hands turned back to the way they were as well as her whole body and mind.

She cried as she fell on her knees with Beast boy doing the same and held each other. "I… I love you too Beast boy… I really do,"

He nodded his head and smiled, he was never going to let her go or let anyone hurt her again for as long as he lives.

However, they all didn't realize that Slade had slipped away but that only proved to them that he was a coward and nothing more or less.

ooOOOoo
