Here's another big chapter for a different story; I'm on a roll you guys :P I'm sure you will all love this chapter, or your money back guaranteed. I mainly used the soundtracks from How to Train Your Dragon, Narnia, and Dinosaur to write this chapter. But I used a few others from Titanic, Hunger Games, and other great movies and artists. My music makes my fan fiction and listening to a certain song, brings out my mood and hopefully in my writing!

You know what I just thought of? I wish fan fiction had a chat base, like Facebook…where you can see who was online and just chat with that. I mean, come on, I can't be the only one thinking that! Again I own nothing but Elsa

Chapter 5 - Clearing Away the Smoke

Beast Boy lifted his arm, shading him from the smoke that raced past him in a hurry to get out back in the hallway. Letting off a cough and waving his arm in the air, he felt a gasp choke in his throat as he gazed at what was left of his room. Everything was black and soaking wet. There was a crisp scent of burnt plastic and paper lingering in the air and he forced down a gag. Squinting, he cautiously walked in, hearing the creaking of his floorboard. He looked down, the floors charred to a black darkness. Looking up he spotted his window, cracked and fogged over. He slowly walked over, unlatching frame and lifting it until it opened all the way.

A cool night breeze smacked him in the face and he took in a breath of fresh air, feeling a sense of longing build in his chest. He sighed and looked down at his desk where a comic book lay. Picking it up he felt the pages rip out from the water log and watched it fall to his shoes. He frowned then slowly laid the torn pages back down on his desk and turned around, looking at every corner that was blackened by the flames.

There was a sharp tug down below and Beast Boy let his gaze fall to little Elsa. She was gnawing at his pants, trying to pull him a little outward. He smiled, "What is it Elsa?"

The pup looked up at him, realizing she had his attention and nosed her way to the edge of the desk, between it and the bed. He quietly watched her grab something hidden from his eyesight. Backing up he noticed she had a piece of paper…no it was a picture. Beast Boy's eyes widened and he fell to the floor on his knees at her level to grab the picture from her jaws, cringing from the heat that flamed up across his torso and legs. Elsa carefully let go without a battle and he held it up, feeling overwhelmed with joy. It was the picture of his parents; it was just singed on the sides, the little corner was still bitten off, but after rubbing the smoke from the front he could still see their faces, back when he was a tot.

Looking back down toward Elsa he smiled and rubbed her head, her soft ears sliding through his fingers. "Thank you Elsa…" he placed the picture on the ground and picked her up and held her, "How can I give you up?"

He felt her nuzzle his face, "it seems like you're the only thing I have left here now."

The pup wiggled and began to lick his face happily; he could feel her tail hitting his chest and he smiled, bringing her closer to his bare chest for comfort and she fell still, her head resting on his shoulders. He could feel her hot breath against his ears and it was then he knew he couldn't give her up.

The floors creaked and Beast Boy glanced up, ears perked up in interest. The pup had wiggled free and looked up as well, eyes staring at the entrance to his room.

"Robin told me that…whoa."

Beast Boy glanced at Raven's surprised expression as she stood by the door. She gazed around the room for a moment until her eyes landed on him and he looked away toward the window that blew in a cool breeze from the outside. He felt her stare on his back as he tried to avoid her gaze, afraid she would see the loss in his eyes. He felt the slip of Elsa's fur and he watched her wiggle free back to the ground; she shook her fur and barked, tail wagging happily. Beast Boy smiled and stood up with a sigh, he saw Raven move from the edge of his vision and he glanced over with mild curiosity. He watched her touch various objects, black crust crumbling to the floor. Raven's eye's widened in surprise as pieces of what remained on his book shelf collapsed, smoke rising from the aftermath. Raven took a step back; a look of sympathy was evident in her features as she looked around. She then turned toward Beast Boy who had fully stood up, wrapping his arms around his bare chest.

A chill ran down his back as the wind struck him from behind and traveled around the clearing. Charred paper scattered around the room, circling the two silent titans. The breeze whipped past Raven, her cape fluttering in the wind and she glanced over toward Beast Boy with a curious expression. Stepping forward she unsnapped her cape from around her shoulders. Beast Boy watched with careful eyes as she quietly wrapped the cape around his shoulders, covering his chest and parts of his pants that were seared with various holes exposing his dark green skin.

They shared a glance for a moment, surprise lingering in his eyes for a moment before a sense of relief and comfort replaced the emotion. The wind no longer tackling him from behind and he smiled, wrapping her blue cape around his shoulders, "Thanks Rave."

Raven gave a half smile, more for sympathy it seemed than anything legit. She looked past him toward the window as he felt the soft fabric gather at his skin. It smelled just like lavender and vanilla; he took in a breath and felt his sorrows suddenly leave him.

"I'm sorry…you must have lost a lot of things." She looked back toward his room and he felt himself melting back into reality hearing her voice.

"Oh…yeah…" He paused, "But that's it though…it's just things…stuff. I can always get new stuff."

Raven gazed at him, a curious look on her face, "Yes, I guess you're right."

She looked down and noticed something on the floor, bending down she grabbed the picture Elsa had found for him earlier, she stared at the photo for a moment and Beast Boy's eyes widened.

"Are these your parents?" She held it carefully in her hands, staring at the picture with interest.

"Yeah…I'm just happy that didn't burn in the fire too…" He fell silent not knowing what else to say to her.

"You never talk about them." She looked up and he felt himself look away toward the floor where Elsa sat gazing at him with bright blue eyes. He felt his throat choke at the thought of his parents and their dreadful fate when he was still just a child.

"Yeah, guess not."

They were silent for a moment and Raven continued, "I understand not wanting to talk about them." There was another pause and he saw her move, the picture held out for him to take, "I'm here whenever you want to talk."

Beast Boy looked up and smiled grateful she didn't push the topic and gently took the photo from her, holding it tightly in his hand.

"You should put that somewhere safe, I don't think you can replace that like the rest of your stuff."

Beast Boy nodded, "Yeah…I'll have to figure that out." He looked around his room and felt for pockets but the fire had seared them open, guess he'd have to stick to holding it until he could find somewhere safe to put it.

He heard Raven take a few steps around his room, looking around it with mild interest, "Well…I guess you don't have to worry about cleaning your room anymore."

Beast Boy let out a short breath of air, amusement flickering in his eyes.

"Yeah, no kidding. Do you think I won that bet with Cy then? I mean…this is technically cleaning my room spotless; quite literally."

"I think that's between you and him…" she paused, "but I don't see why not."

"Yes!" he replied, swinging one of his arms up in victory and let out a gasp of pain, feeling the heat travel from the back of his arm down his back and spreading to his knees. He closed his eyes and lowered his arm. Elsa barked in response and he opened his eyes, shaking off the pain that was slowly dissipating, hiding his arm within the cape Raven had given him.

"I'm fine girl…" he bent down and rubbed her head, feeling himself slip inside the cape for cover.

No wonder she likes this thing...it feels like I could practically disappear.

He looked up, Raven was watching quietly on the sidelines, "You know I need to look at that sooner or later."

Beast Boy gazed at her from the floor, "What do you mean?" He smiled feeling the pain slowly dissipating to a wave of heat.

"You know what I mean; you can act dumb but I know you just put on that mask to fool the team."

Beast Boy paused, glancing at her, he felt something drop from his chest and his feelings froze in a slight panic. But why was he panicking? He had done nothing wrong…yeah sure he liked to keep everyone out of the loop sometimes. But that was for the best. The team didn't need to know every time his cookies crumbled or when his life was a complete mess. Sometimes it was better for people to know nothing was wrong than to go on worrying about you. It could be a mess of trouble when doubt starts to creep in…whether he was good enough…strong enough…smart enough… He wore his mask like everyone else; Raven didn't really have the right to accuse him of it.

He shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about Rave. We all wear masks." He smiled, feeling his fang rack against his lip. She was about to reply when he stood up, Elsa in his left arm he rose his right one in defense.

"I know you can sense my pain…I'm sorry. You're right…" he paused with a lighthearted shrug, "I guess I need a little help."

There was a look of surprise and apprehension as she stared at him. There was a quiet silence before Beast Boy took in a breath and let it out, feeling his pain rush away with it. Turning around he walked back out to the entrance of his room and stood at the doorway. Looking down the hall he saw the edge of the carpet where the fire had stopped in its rage. The pup fidgeted in his arms and he pulled her closely to his chest, Raven's cape wrapping around her front paws until she was half hidden.

He could feel Raven getting closer and he spoke, "Well, at least the fire didn't reach your room."

Raven paused next to him and gazed down the hallway as well, staring at the room a little farther down the hall, a door on the left. Blinking he turned toward the elevator, going down to get Starfire's watch which she happened to be wearing that day.

"I'll meet you downstairs, I'm going to grab another cape…" she paused as he entered he elevator, "Oh… by the way, Robin keeps all the emergency clothes stored in the basement, hopefully you can last with just three pairs for a little while."

Beast Boy smirked, "Ya kidding? I'm a survivor baby." He flashed a smile as the doors shut, seeing an unamused face in return. He couldn't help it; it was just too fun messing with her; those reactions were too priceless for him to give up.

Watching the numbers blink he felt the elevator come to a stop and he exited, heading toward the entrance of the basement; putting Elsa on the ground he ordered, "Stay by me."

The pup tilted her head and watched him with blue eyes as he turned and opened the door with a 'click'. Opening up with a creak he stepped down and began descending in the darkness. He could hear Elsa's puppy breath as she walked behind him and he glanced behind to see that the door stayed open for his comfort. He couldn't stand the dark…especially in the basement. As he reached the bottom of the stairwell he felt his food suddenly get caught on Raven's cape and he felt himself slip forward.

There was a yip and he could feel the pull of the pup as she leaped out to grab the back of the cape. But he was far too heavy and both of them fell the rest of the way down the stairwell with loud cries. He felt his pain vibrating in his chest and he growled, the heat searing down his back.

Stiffening his shoulders he grabbed the nearest thing, a metal railing and pulled himself back up to a standing position, rubbing his backside which must be bruised and burned by now. He looked around, his night vision starting to kick in. He saw Elsa lying on her back, staring at him, tail wagging excitedly. He smiled and nodded his head forward; she leaped to her paws and began to follow him around a few shelving areas.

He was down there for at least ten minutes, looking through various boxes and passing by many shelves that held everything from souvenirs to important documentations. He came across one dusty box and opened it up, dust rising and flying in every direction. He felt a pull and saw the pup had jumped up, front paws at the edge of the box, looking in with curious eyes. Digging inside, something cold touched his gloved hands and he cautiously pulled it out, glancing at the frame he held. It was a picture of the team when they first met…the day they first built the tower. Beast Boy smiled staring at all their young faces.

"Wow…this is old." Elsa pawed at his arm and he lowered the picture for her to see and she gazed at it with interest then barked, staring at him.

"Yeah, cool huh?" He felt the other picture brushing against the frame.

"Beast Boy, what are you doing?"

Beast Boy jumped up in surprise, hitting his head against the top of the shelf, a box suddenly fell from the top and landed on his head, obscuring his vision. He could hear the puppy yipping beside him as the box was slowly lifted off his head. Luckily only Styrofoam and bubble wrap was inside.

He glanced up, bubble wrap still in his hair to see Raven standing in front of him, a slightly amused expression on her face.

"I mean, if you want to gift wrap yourself to the Titan's east then be my guest."

Beast Boy shook his head, the bubble wrap falling to his feet and he brushed himself down, Styrofoam falling to the floor.

"I'm sure they would love me." He replied. He then paused in thought, "So you're saying you wouldn't miss me?"

Raven rolled her eyes as she turned around toward other boxes on the opposite wall, opening the cardboard and glancing through each one before going to the next.

"I didn't say that."

Beast Boy smirked, "then you would miss me."

She glanced his way, narrowing her eyes with a warning, "Beast Boy…"

"Ok, Ok…" He held up his arms with a smile on his face.

He watched her dig through a box, bending down as her newly retrieved cape trailed the floor. She opened the final box, closest to the ground, she grabbed a few pieces of clothing and shook them out, dust rising. Standing back up she turned toward him, "here you go."

Beast Boy watched her hand him a pile of his spare uniforms and he nodded, reaching out to take them when the photo frame slipped from his hands and fell. Both he and Raven watched as it crashed to the floor, glass scattering around their feet. Raven's eyes widened with curiosity; using her powers she lifted the frame and gazed at it while Beast Boy took his clothes.

"Wow that's old…wasn't that when…-"

"Yeah, our first day as a team, cool huh? I wonder why Robin put it in the basement."

Raven glanced at him, "Probably for the same reason of what happened to it. Afraid you or Cyborg would break it."

Beast Boy rolled his eyes, "Come on, I'm not that much of a klutz."

Raven raised an eyebrow and Beast Boy let off a small laugh, "Ok…maybe, sometimes…every now and then I am…"

Raven sighed putting the frame back in the box and using her powers to push the glass in a nearby bag and turned back toward where the basement exit laid, "Come on you."

Beast Boy grinned and followed her behind, suddenly remembering Elsa who stood nearby, staring at him with bright blue eyes.

"Yeah, come on you." He repeated with a laugh, using the remark that was for him, toward the pup. Elsa barked and raced up to him, paws leaping over the bag and landing nearby his feet. He looked up and quickly climbed the stairs back in the open where Raven stood nearby in the hall, facing toward where the lobby was. He looked behind him, watching the pup race up the stairs after him. He felt something stab in his chest, watching her wag her tail next to him. He looked up at Raven who was facing the opposite direction, walking toward the lobby door.

You may think I'm giving her up…but that's the last thing I will do.

Beast Boy quietly followed her in tow, Elsa scampering after him.

Maybe I can convince you; you're usually always on Robin's good side. If I can convince you to let her stay then she might have a chance.

As they came near the lobby the door suddenly swished open and to their surprise they watched Cyborg head to the elevator, and he immediately assumed he was heading to his room.

"Hey Cy, heading to bed already?" Beast Boy called out to their oblivious friend.

Cyborg stopped in his tracks and glanced at Beast Boy as he passed them by, "Nah…I need to check the mainframe for…wait, is that Raven's cape?"

Cyborg doubled back and stood next to his companion, "You know blue suits you Beastie, really brings out your eyes." He laughed, reaching out for the wall before he fell down.

Beast Boy frowned, "hey! You didn't get your room destroyed! I gotta work with what I have!"

Cyborg shook his head, "Whatever man; maybe tomorrow you can try on Robin's attire."

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes playfully, "You're just jealous I get to wear Raven's cape and you don't."

There was a shadow and both boy's froze to see Raven standing nearby, hood down and arms crossed, "You know…this is all very entertaining for me…but I would rather you not make fun me when I'm standing right here."

Beast Boy could feel his friends comfort level plummet and he cried out, "No, I didn't mean it that way Raven. It was strictly on a make fun of Beast Boy level basis." He laughed uncomfortably, "You know messin around; I mean no actual harm. The green bean was asking for it, I owe him anyway from last time when he stuffed my car with helium balloons."

Beast Boy smirked, "Best prank ever."

Raven rolled her eyes as Beast Boy spoke up again after a short few second silence, "if it makes you feel any better Rave, it's pretty warm."

Raven shook her head, an exasperated look on her face, and they caught each other's eyes for a moment before Cyborg coughed, narrowing his eyes as if silently commenting on the interaction.

"Well, since you two are busy, I'll leave you be." He grinned and turned around, heading back to his earlier mission then stopped and turned around again, "Oh, and I wouldn't go in there."

"Why not..?" Raven questioned, glancing his way.

"Just trust me."

With that he turned back toward the hall and both titans listened to his footsteps until they disappeared in the elevator and he was gone.

Beast Boy and Raven exchanged a glance before she took a couple steps back and opened the door tentatively with her powers. Beast Boy stood nearby, wearily glancing inside with Elsa standing beside him quietly. The door opened with a hiss and they stood there for a moment, wondering what Cyborg meant by the warning. They looked at one another, both wearing matching capes then slowly stepped inside, Elsa following behind in suit.

Then he heard it and feeling Raven stiffen beside him, she must have as well. Or if not her hearing than her senses must have caught on. Beast Boy swallowed and took in a breath, hearing the crying of a girl in the lobby.

Raven's eyes widened as they stood at the entrance and she quickly turned around and shut the door as quietly as she could with her powers. Beast Boy looked down and covered his mouth with a finger, hoping Elsa would understand to be quiet. She stared at him, wagging her tail but didn't let off a bark of enthusiasm. He smiled and nodded then looked back up, concern waving inside. He glanced at Raven, wondering if they should stay here. Then his eyes caught something on the counter, Starfire's watch. Should he take it?

Glancing over toward the couch he saw two figures sitting next to one another, the television was on, playing a quiet show from the food channel. But that didn't seem to be a good distraction, for the sniffling and quick intake of breaths proved the Alien Princesses distress.

"Those cannot be replaced…I fear I have lost them forever…"

He heard the shifting of the couch and saw an arm wrap around Starfire, black and orange hair intertwined from where they stood and Beast Boy felt something else bloom over him and he smiled.

It's not all bad Star. You finally got Boy Wonder to open up his feelings for ya.

Figuring he really didn't need to ask, Beast Boy quickly raced over and snatched the watch from the counter and walked back toward where Raven stood, watching the couple on the couch. She glanced at him, "Let's just go to my room…" She spoke quietly and he nodded with agreeance.

He looked behind him and stole one last glance before hearing her open the door in front of him. He quickly followed after her, Elsa on his heels. The door hissed shut and they glanced at one another silently as they headed toward the elevator.

Finally Beast Boy spoke, "I guess you could feel that too huh?"

Raven gazed at him with surprise and he continued, "Sometimes you need someone during a tragedy like that." He smiled, "Glad he was there for her."

Raven nodded, "Never took you to be serious before…or an empath…" she paused in thought and he laughed in response, "I wish. I just have these animal senses; I can pick up a lot of things…guess you never knew that huh?"

Raven's eyes widened and she shook her head as he continued, "Yeah, they aren't as powerful as yours I guess, but hey I think it's pretty cool; can get annoying sometimes though."

She nodded her head, "I understand that."

As they all stepped out of the elevator, including Elsa, Raven watched him snap on Starfire's Hello Kitty watch and he shook his head with an obvious smile of amusement on his face. Feeling Raven's stare he looked at her, passing by Starfire's then his 'room', "You know I rock the watch."

As they stood in front of her door, Raven replied in her usual monotone, "Definitely."

As she opened her door Beast Boy glanced down at where Elsa stood, still quiet by his feet and placed his clothes in the corner by the door where he would remember to grab them before he left.

Raven quickly entered her room, flicking on the lights, the darkness fleeing from their eyes as he entered and looked around, feeling a lot less creepy then when the lights were shut off.

"I didn't know you even had a light switch." Beast Boy chuckled.

"I don't really use it…" Raven replied, heading toward her bookcase that lay in the corner of the room.

She must have turned it on for me… he thought, and smiled, that's nice of her.

This was twice in one day he was in here and he was surprised she was feeling so neutral with him standing around in a place that she sought for comfort and privacy. One would think she would be more weary; but Beast Boy wasn't complaining. It wasn't like he had a room to go to anyway.

He looked over toward the edge of her room, glancing out the window where the moon shined brightly overhead; almost at a full moon peak. Feeling the room was a little musty he glanced over toward Raven who was immersed in her bookcase, whispering quietly to herself as she flipped through the pages of a couple large books on the floor.

Grinning he walked toward the window and with great effort pulled the frame up with a loud 'bang!' He fell back from the sudden force as the wind found its way into the room and a shadow came over him. Raven who had flown up nearby in surprise was staring at him; he, himself was lying on the floor from the force of opening the window. Little Elsa barked with excitement and raced over to tackle his face. Beast Boy laughed and pushed her away, "Knock it off!"

"What in Azars name…" She stopped mid-flight and fell onto the bed that was under her landing point.

"Why did you open that?" She replied after her initial shock wore down. Beast Boy sat up and looked up at the window with mild thought, "Needed a bit of fresh air."

He paused staring at night sky outside. The moon shone brightly in the room, lighting up the shadows that lay against the window. He squinted his eyes, noticing that the stars that were hard to see from all the light in the room. He could usually see a few from his room every night. It wasn't much since they lived in the city…but they were still pretty amazing.

Looking back toward where the light switch was he raced toward it, feeling Raven's curious eyes on his back. He quickly shut them off, darkness encasing the two titans and he felt Raven's shock wave over him.

"Beast Boy! What do you think you're doing!?"

Beast Boy glanced at her, confused of the shock that radiated from her, "Look, look outside Rave!"

Raven glared at him from her bed then quickly looked over toward the window, where the stars were suddenly alive outside. She blinked, realizing why he wanted the lights off.

Suddenly the bed gave way and her head snapped to the side to see Beast Boy sitting next to her, looking outside. She was about to push him off from startling her twice in the same five minutes when he spoke, "I always watched the stars before going to bed every night."

Raven looked back up toward the widow, watching the stars twinkle in the sky. She felt something radiate deep in her chest then something dawned on her, "Beast Boy…you know you're not staying the night here right?"

Beast Boy glanced her way and gave a small smile, "I know; the guest room doesn't have a window…so I thought I'd look at them here."

He heard Raven let out a sigh of relief, as if holding it in for a while. He smirked, "Come on, you don't think that lowly of me do ya?"

Raven looked toward him and shook her head, "No…sorry…I don't know…" she trailed off and he laughed, "Don't worry about it; I'm just messin with ya."

She took in a breath, and he watched her close her eyes for a moment, and he figured she was gathering her emotions together. He heard claws scraping at the floor and he leaned forward, glancing at the floor where two bright blue eyes stared at him. Tail wagging a mile a minute he picked her up and placed her on the bed, pulling her close to a hug. He crossed his legs, the cloak Raven gave him clumping together from how he sat.

"I think I'll need that back."

Beast Boy leaned his head back, seeing Raven glancing at the cloak around his shoulders.

"Oh, right…" he quickly undid the cloak, letting it fall on the bed, his back exposed once more. Raven took it with her powers and placed it near her closet where her laundry was sitting.

"You know…I could put that in my dresser…until you get your room all set up again."

Beast Boy gave her a funny look until he realized he still held the picture of his parents, the middle crinkled from him holding it this whole time. He stared at the photo, weary giving her such a precious item. What if she blackmailed him with it?

"I won't do anything with it, I promise." Beast Boy glanced up at her, still holding the photo with a grip, she continued, "and when I make a promise, I keep it."

Beast Boy swallowed and nodded, letting go of the picture and watched her use her powers to open the drawer and slide the picture in the top shelf. He saw his parents disappear from his eyes and he turned back toward Elsa who had laid down in his lap, eyes closed. He let his hands rack against her soft fur for a moment, listening to Raven who had begun flipping through a few books on the bed nearby.

"Ok, I think I got it." She spoke and Beast Boy glanced at her as she turned toward him, "here turn around..." Beast Boy complied, facing away from her, toward the wall where the door was at.

"It'll probably feel cool, try not to move too much though."

Beast Boy nodded and his eyes caught a faint blue color as Raven slowly fell into a quiet chant behind him. A gasp came from deep inside, rising past his throat, feeling the cool feeling travel from his skin, deep in his bones. He felt his body stiffen from the touch and he closed his eyes, pulling Elsa who was in his lap closer to him. The pup wiggled for a moment, getting comfortable before falling back asleep with a sigh. Soon the cool feeling became more of a comfort and he opened his eyes, taking in breath, feeling her travel from his shoulders down to his mid back, goose bumps running down his body, the heat slowly escaping.

After a few minutes of silence Beast Boy was feeling fidgety, just staring at the dark door that stood in front of him. He stroked Elsa's fur and a sudden feeling of regret and betrayal filled his mind. Looking down he watched Elsa's soft breathing and he spoke quietly, "You know…you completely sold me out."

There was a pause and Beast Boy could feel Raven pull back for a moment, the cool feeling disappearing for a minute before returning back down on his sides.

"What are you talking about?"

"Elsa; you totally just threw her to the dogs, literally." There wasn't a response and he continued, "I don't see why I can't just keep her. Starfire has Silkie and Cyborg has well…his car and everything. I don't have anything!"

He could feel Raven moving to his lower back and she spoke, "I don't have a pet either, so that argument is invalid."

Beast Boy huffed, "Well, technically, Elsa is partially yours, you did name her."

"She's not mine… she belongs to someone else."

"Yeah an abuser, I can't send her back to that place Raven; you may not understand me, but I don't tolerate people like that." He felt a growl rise in his throat and pushed it away, "That's why I'm never giving her back."

Raven paused and he felt the cool sensation go away, he watched her shadow lengthen in front of him as she sat up, the blanket underneath pulling from her movement.

"What about all those posters? Someone is looking for her; and that fire… You can't tell me you don't think someone started it because of Elsa. This all started after you brought her to the tower."

Beast Boy frowned, "She's just a pup; I don't know why anyone would go to starting a fire to get her back…that's cray cray."

Raven smirked, "Yeah…there are some major wierdos out there."

There was a pause and Beast Boy turned around to look her in the eye, "You don't think she should go back do you; honestly?"

Raven was about to say something, he could feel an unusual emotion swirling against his senses, but he couldn't quite pick it up since she covered it so quick. But she must have thought against it, because she let out a soft sigh, casting a glance at the pup in his lap, "I don't know what I think."

Beast Boy had doubts on her answer and responded quick; "Sure you do; I mean look at her, she's so innocent and adorable, you don't want to hurt that."

"Beast Boy, she's just a dog." Raven stated, looking past Beast Boy, avoiding eye contact.

Beast Boy stared at her, trying to make contact but she refused and he narrowed his eyes, "See that's your problem. That's everyone's problem! You think she's just some dumb animal right?"

Raven flinched at the anger that suddenly came over him, and her eyes flashed toward his as he continued.

"Well newsflash, I'm an animal too!"

"Beast Boy I didn't mean it like that I-"She began, her eyes wide with surprise.

"You know what, don't bother. I know what you're going to say." He snapped.

Raven was taken aback and she frowned, "You don't know that."

He growled, "You know what? I don't know why you even bother helping me; you're just doing this because Robin told you to."

He felt like something had snapped because Raven had to take a deep breath before dishing out a reply. She narrowed her eyes, matching his anger with her own; he could feel her agitation riveting deep inside.

"I'm helping you because you're my teammate," she paused, "and my friend…Robin didn't tell me to do anything besides to let you know where your spare clothes were."

There was a silence as beast Boy stared at her, an understanding coming over him for just a moment and his anger slowly dissipated. He let out the breath he was holding and looked away, down toward the ground. I guess she took it upon herself to heal my burns. Maybe I was wrong about that, but I can't stand it when people judge others…judge animals. It's like they don't understand they are an animal too. We're all animals.

"I don't know where this is all coming from; I never thought that of you, nor does any of the team." He looked up, watching her as she moved into a more comfortable sitting position. There was a silence and Beast Boy was about to just call the argument quits when Raven spoke up, quiet but more understanding. She was looking at Elsa as she spoke.

"If Elsa is this important to you…maybe I could convince Robin…."she trailed off, closing her eyes and letting off another release of breath when suddenly something tackled into her front. Violet eyes snapping open she flung her arms back to catch herself from falling on her back and sat there holding herself, the weight who had managed to fling his arms around her neck like a scarf.

"Thank you Raven..!"

Beast Boy could feel the swath of emotions rolling off of her and he quickly pulled back, sitting in front of her, expression mixed and he glanced at her with uncertainty before she shook it off and gathered her cape closer to her for comfort. He swore he saw her face redden for just a second and he had to hold in a laugh thinking he had managed to embarrass the queen of darkness.

Narrowing her eyes Beast Boy watched her eyes glow for a moment and he heard a quiet chant before she moved forward, hands slightly blue and forcefully slammed her hand on his chest, pushing him down on the bed. Beast Boy felt the wind get knocked out of him and surprise enveloped his thoughts as he fell to a vulnerable position. He felt a cool tickle his stomach and he laughed, resisting the urge to high kick Raven in the face.

Just as she had began she was done. Her eyes turned back to normal and she sat up, Beast Boy looked down, no longer seeing the red streaks that were down his chest, instead a cool feeling replaced it.

"That was pay back." She replied tartly, glancing away with a smirk.

Beast Boy laughed and sat up, feeling down his arms and stomach, the burns only a distant memory.

"Thanks Rave."

Raven nodded and glanced down at his lower chest, "I thought you could let those heal on your own…" she trialed off and Beast Boy looked down and realized she meant the edge of his pants down his thighs and he blushed.

"Yeah…that would be best…" he trailed off as well and they fell into an uncomfortable silence until there was a loud snort, both titans's jumping at the sound. Looking down they saw Elsa sleeping on her side, reaching out with her paws as if running in her sleep. Beast Boy smiled, listening to her softly snore every now and then. He sighed, not wanting to move her.

"Maybe she should stay in here tonight…so I don't wake her up."

Raven gave an amused expression, "Well aren't you protective, before you know it you're going to have to take her cell phone away and ground her."

Beast Boy stuck out his tongue at Raven as she turned toward her closet and using her powers grabbed a few pillows and a couple blankets, tossing them on the floor. Beast Boy then quietly grabbed Elsa and placed her on a pillow, wrapping a dark blue blanket around her mid torso. The pup wiggled but didn't wake up. Standing up he watched her for a moment, noticing the extra pillows and blankets but didn't comment on it. Stifling a yawn he turned around began to head out of Raven's room, just as he was about to open the door he turned around again to give one long look at Elsa. Trying to decide whether he should leave her here. He didn't know if he wanted to sleep alone tonight with all that has happened today. Sleeping in a dark, dusty old guest room wasn't exactly inviting or friendly to say the least.

"You know…I did put out three pillows…more than what I would expect Elsa to sleep on…if you know what I mean…" she drifted off as he looked up at Raven with surprise who was sitting at the beginning of her bed, staring his way before they caught each other's eyes and she quickly looked down at Elsa, sleeping soundly on the floor.

"You probably don't want to be alone right now…you can stay if you want…but only if you want." She paused as if realizing what she was saying, "Not that this will happen again! I just feel bad you lost your room, and Starfire being in the lobby…and the guest room is pretty dusty…" she paused, "and I'm pretty sure it has mold growing somewhere in there." she paused fidgeting with her cape.

He felt a smile enveloped on his features, sensing her uncomfortable situation. This was unique, Raven has never offered him to come in her room till today and to stay in it no less.

She must feel sorry for me… He paused and wondered whether he should accept her offer. Everything she said was true…he didn't want to be alone tonight…and it may be the last night he sees Elsa if his plans tomorrow don't work. Not that they wouldn't…but there's always a backup plan just in case. Deciding he had thought it over enough, he looked over toward Elsa knowing full well he would rather stay to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't disappear in the middle of the night. But first he needed to tease Raven just a bit from keeping him in the dark.

"Well if you wanted me to stay, why didn't you just say so?"

Raven narrowed her eyes and he saw she was about to retort when he quickly held up his hands with a smile, "Kidding!" he laughed quietly and continued, "You know... You're being really nice to me today…"

Raven fell silent and Beast Boy shrugged, "Not that I'm complaining, I kind of like this side of you Rave."

They caught eyes before Raven looked away, not bothering to reply she instead using her powers, grabbed another blanket from inside the closet and draped it over her bed. With the window open he noticed it ruffled her sheets, she must have been cold.

Not wasting any more time the changeling quickly transformed into a dog he raced up to the blankets, digging his nose into the bottom one he felt the fabric envelop his body and he laid down. Wiggling he poked his nose through the other side of the sheet and looked toward Elsa who was sleeping soundly on the pillow nearby. Transforming back he grabbed the other two pillows and lined them up next to her. Reaching over he ruffled Elsa's fur with a smile. There was movement on the bed and he looked up, Raven no longer in sight, but he could see the sheets rising and falling softly.

"Night Rave."

There was a muffled response and he stifled a laugh, not wanting to wake up Elsa. Looking to his wrist he set the clock for 9:30 am. He flipped over and looked up to where the light came down ahead, and he watched the stars outside before feeling himself slip into darkness.

Hey guys it's Mai out with another chapter. I know this isn't my most popular story but this was my next update before moving on to one of the other two stories.

Before I started writing here on fan fiction I was a little different; I was really into roleplaying…I used a different name back then, but that's what started it all. Writing, while not perfect, makes me who I am; and I couldn't live without it. In a way, it saved my life; that and my Spotify music.

I guess all I'm trying to say is that for anyone who takes the time to read my stories, comment and criticize, you keep me going; not just in updates, but in my confidence. You will most likely never know me, but I couldn't thank you all enough. Whether it be one or a hundred readers I will continue each of my Titan's stories because it's something that grows with me. I see it every day… All these new ideas I have to write down before I forget in the middle of a math exam, lecture or work. (Yes that has happened.) :P

That's pretty much it If you ever want to contact me outside of Fan fiction in my quiet little world; I do play Pokemon X as well as Animal Crossing New Leaf :P I also have a playstation 2 and my favorite youtube subscriber is Pewdiepie; oh and I recently started watching Young Justice (it really isn't that bad, I like it so far; but…nothing can replace good ole Teen Titans ). :D
