Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. As you know, I do own the plot. But the question is whether to let you have Taiwan or Spain? I can't spell porter riquo (SEE!) otherwise you could have that.
Author's Note: Yay! Back on scedrual! I am nervous about this chapter so please be kind. I know everyone seems a little out of character but... just read and state your own opinion and off that I will base whether to put up chapter 11 which has to do with chapter 10. Enjoy!
Beast Boy got better within a week or so, with Raven's help of course. It had taken Raven quite a while to convince Beast Boy to let her heal him. But the results were just as Beast Boy had feared. There was a lot to heal and Raven passed out and hit her head on the floor. Uhg... I'm so dizzy. My head... What happened? "Raven?"
Raven's eyes flickered open and Beast Boy's eyes lit up with happiness and relief. "Don't ever do that again!"
"Do what? What happened?" Raven asked, sitting up.
"Well..."
Flashback from BB's Point of View
You still insisted that you could heal me. I kept telling you no. We were still fighting when the team came to the door and told us they were going grocery shopping. I didn't hear them and I don't think you heard them either. I even told you why I didn't want you to heal me but you didn't listen. I finally gave in and let you. But you did pass out. And you hit your head on the floor really hard. I panicked. I thought you had a concussion. I had to go find Cyborg. I searched for him in his room, the main room, the kitchen, the garage, everywhere! But I couldn't find him.
Then I was walking out of the garage and I saw a note on the kitchen counter. It said that they had all gone to the grocery store and they would be back in an hour. So I panicked again. I couldn't work the medical machines! Then I decided that they couldn't be as hard as they looked. So then I turned into a cheetah and ran back down to the med room. I got one glance at those machines up close and I knew I couldn't work them.
I had to do something, so I put an ice pack under your head and a wet wash cloth on your fore head and then I went to look for the manuals for the machines. I thought I heard something in the room so I came back and I didn't want to leave you alone.

"And here we are!" Beast Boy concluded.
"Oh... I promise."
"You don't even know what you're promising me!"
"Well, you could tell me."
"Don't ever use your powers to heal me again!"
"I can and I will."
"Don't! Please, promise me you won't."
"... I promise."
"Thank you." Beast Boy said, pulling Raven into a hug.
She was surprised at first, but then she hugged him back. Noticing that the team probably was still gone, she decided to strike up a conversation (wow!). "So... where do you think your parents are now?" Raven knew this was a subject Beast Boy loved, because every time someone asked him he went off on some wild adventure story.
Instead of the wild happy look he usually got, he got a pained look in his eyes. "Haven't you heard enough about my parents?" Beast Boy asked softly, turning away from Raven.
"Why? Did you run out of adventure stories?" Raven asked playfully, trying to get Beast Boy to tell one he loved the most.
"Yes! Okay! I don't know what they really did but it ended when I was born. My mother died giving birth and my father died from grief."
"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"Well..." his voice softened again "now you do."
Raven looked up at him. She could see tear swelling up in his eyes. "Promise you won't tell anyone."
The tears threatened to fall. "I promise."
A single tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it away quickly, hoping Raven wouldn't notice. But she did. She scooted closer to Beast Boy to comfort him. Another tear. Raven slowly put her arm around Beast Boy. More tears. Before Raven knew it, tears were coming down like rain and Beast Boy was sobbing into her shoulder. She comforted him and pulled him into a hug. After a minute or so Beast Boy sat up and wiped his face off with his sleeve. "I'm sorry. You must think I'm some pathetic baby right now."
"No, I'd probably do the same if I could."
"You can if you want to." Beast Boy said, putting his arm around Raven.
"Do you want another light bulb in your hand?" She asked with a smirk.
"I wouldn't mind if it made you feel better." Beast Boy said as he pulled her into a bear hug
Wow, he really loves me. "I think I'll pass, thank you." She said with a smile.
"Can you please... um... not say anything about this to the rest of the team?" asked Beast Boy, suddenly becoming serious.
"As far as I know... your parents are somewhere in Siberia."
"Thanks. If Cyborg and Robin got word of this they would eat me alive."
"Then you had better not leave any time soon. Your eyes are red and puffy."
"I don't plan to."
Beast Boy lifted Raven up onto his lap and pulled her back into a bear hug. Raven was a little surprised by how much strength he actually had at first, but then she relaxed. Beast Boy leaned back against the pillow and they both fell asleep there.
Author's Note: Aww... I know Beast Boy was a little out of character but I tried to make it more like him afterwards. And I know that's not what really happened in Beast Boy's past but sometimes its fun to tweak things just a little to add drama. Lots people do it. Any who! Thank you to my reviewers: Lady Crystaline of Jewel Cove dramaelfie DragonGirl( ) kmutt RainSprite03 Thanks again! Chocolate cake for everyone! Buh Bye!
