Chapter 5

Traumatic Memory

Raven entered the building after changing her voice back.

BB ran up to her, "Dude, I thought Cy caught you for a second."

"Do you want to visit Cyborg?" She asked seriously.

"Yeah, why?" He tilted his head.

"I think you just might be able to see him sooner than the others."

At the Tower

Robin spoke, "Whatever the Hive was up to, they didn't do it."

"It was the same two people from the bank but they just ran and disappeared on scanners." Cyborg half lied.

Ring-Ring

Star flew over to answer the phone, "Hello? Friend Cyborg, some woman wishes to speak with you."

Rob smirked at him, "Hm, I wonder who that could be."

Cyborg muttered angrily under his breath as he took the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi Cyborg," Raven said on the other end.

"Uh, hey…how's it goin'?"

"I take it they're in the same room. Well I called because Beast Boy misses you so I thought you could meet us at the park."

"Ok." Cy hung up.

"Who was it?" Robin asked.

"Just the girl from Raven's café I called to ask if she's been there recently. She said she hasn't been there all week." The tin man said. Later on he snuck out of the tower and toward the park. He saw the two and ran over to them.

"Hey Cy!" BB smiled.

Raven smiled, too. "Thanks for coming."

"Raven?" The half man stared at the goth girl, surprised she could show emotion. "Nothing blew up."

The changeling smiled, "I know, isn't it great!"

Cyborg looked concerned. "BB, why are you and Raven criminals?"

"Because we were hungry?" The brown haired boy spoke, "Ok, so I was a little rusty at gettin' food and then we joined the.."

Raven put her hand over his mouth and glared.

"Joined the what?" The tin man asked, hoping it wasn't what he thought.

"Nothing, he's just rambling on. Beast Boy, go home," she told him sternly.

"Aw," he whined, "already?"

The dark girl sighed, "Fine, you can have it."

"Really? Ok, than I'm off," he walked off happily.

"What did you let him have?" Cy asked.

"My game station. No, I didn't steal it," she said when he gave her a look.

"Ok, so what's going on? What happened before I met you and what's going on now?"

"You should probably sit down for this."

They both sat down under a tree.

"It all began when Beast Boy and I parted….He left one day and I never saw him until the titans after that. It was raining the night he left…"

Flashback Rae povo

The rain poured down and I was searching for Beast Boy, believing he had gotten lost again. As predicted, I never found him. I sat on the side of the street of cars rode by and splashed more water on me until I was soaked. The wind started blowing, causing me to shiver and shake as I rubbed my arms, trying to keep warm. I knew then that Beast Boy wasn't coming back. He wasn't lost. He had simply left. Tears fell down my cheeks but when unnoticed because of the rain.

Then a girl with pink hair showed up, Jinx. That was when I first met her. "Are you alright?" Even now I wonder why she took pity on my when I was just one of many homeless people on the streets.

"No," I answered sadly.

Jinx helped me up and took me out of the rain and gave me shelter. "Here," she handed me a dry set of cloths and a towel. "The bathroom's down the hall. She took me in and took care of me until my cold went away.

I then was going to leave because I didn't want to intrude any longer. "Thanks," I told her as I started toward the door.

"Why don't you stay? You have powers right?" She asked.

I nodded.

"She told me she was part of a team called the Hive and they were just like me and had to steal to survive. I still hadn't changed though to whom I am today. There was one major event that happened a couple days before I met you and saw Beast Boy again," she looked up at Cy.

"Is it the reason why you were starving when we found you and had ripped clothes?" He asked, seriously.

Raven nodded.

Flashback

Raven walked down a dark alley and yawned. The moment her eyes were closed she felt a sharp pain in her head as everything went black. She woke up in a dark room, tied to a bed and a gag in her mouth. She struggled to get loose but it was no use.

"Hello cutie," an older man laughed.

Her eyes were filled with fear as she knew right then what he was going to do.

Out in the City

Muffled screams and cries were heard as the crazy guy raped her.

Half Hr Later

The dark girl opened her eyes to see she was in the street and it was raining again. Tears poured down her face but she didn't say a word as she shook and her body hurt as her legs were covered by mud and blood. She ran through the streets, not knowing where to go.

End Flashback

Cyborg gasped, "You were raped? Oh, Raven I didn't…Is that why you were mad at BB?"

"I never held that against him. It wasn't his fault. I only wish I would've had him there to talk to after it happened." A single tear fell. "The only reason I robbed the bank was because I needed food. Anyway, after I ran from you guys I went to see someone for help because I didn't feel like I could trust any man. That's why I didn't trust Robin and even though I knew Beast Boy would never hurt me I still felt uncomfortable around him. Then I came back when I set everything right and talked with Jinx before I went to the tower."

"So you and BB are part of the Hive?" Cyborg asked.

Raven nodded, "Yes. I'm still wondering Cyborg. Are we still friends? Are you going to tell Robin?" She asked sadly.

He sighed, "I don't want either of you to be put in jail so... If you guys need anything just give me a call." The tin man smiled.

She returned the smile.
