Like an Animal

Chapter 9

I do not own Teen Titans but Cere' is mine, so back the fuck up.

Thanks again to all the people who are reviewing! And Metal-sama, thanks for that review, I liked that one. Anyways, let's get to the point. I've realized since Cere' is in both Raven and BeastBoy's head people are starting to get confused whether other people know that he's in there. The answer is… no. Raven doesn't know BeastBoy has Cere' in his head and vice versa. Also, Cere' can only be in one persons head at a time. Just clearing that up for ya. And we don't know whether Cere' is a boy or girl yet, so if I ever referred to Cere' as he or she, please ignore it. Another thing, there was a tie between fuck and fun, fluff, fuck mixture, so we shall have another vote to see whether I'll do fuck or do fluff leading to fuck. I love this story… Hu-rah…

One month later…

"Her brain waves are going off the charts, what are we gonna do?"

"I don't know. We've tried everything! Therapy, medicine, social interaction, isolation, nothing works!"

"Not even BeastBoy is calming her down now."

They watched the monitor in Raven's padded room. She was laughing madly, maniacally even. Her eyes were wide and the glow was so powerful that it could probably illuminate a whole hallway at night. Her chakra was sending off black sparks going off in different directions at random times. She was rocking back and forth, tugging ferociously at her straight jacket.

BeastBoy was in his room, moping over loosing his lover to psychological diseases. He was crying silently, not knowing what to do at this point. During the month, he would visit her everyday as a cat and settle in her lap, keeping her company. Just recently had she started to ignore his presence completely, speaking a weird mixture of Azarathian and English, switching on and off between the two, occasionally screaming and yelling at the wall. Frankly, he was scared of her at the moment.

He wished Starfire was here. She would've comforted him at a time like this.

"Fuckin' Cinderblock!" he screamed.

"This was all his fault! He killed Star… and it made Rae crazy…" he pounded his fists against his pillows and bed posts until he heard the intercom beep.

"BeastBoy, come down to the monitor room, ASAP." Then it beeped off.

BeastBoy stumbled out of his bed and made his way down a series of hallways, subconsciously rubbing his head. Then, he heard screaming. He bust into the monitor room.

"What's going on?!"

"I don't know, she's looking straight into the camera."

Raven was screaming in it, a sick smile contorting her ill countenance.

"Oh Raven…" Cyborg whispered.

"She's completely gone now," Robin added.

"Don't say that! Raven's stronger than this! I know she is! She has to be… I looked up to her."

All of a sudden, Raven's chakra sent out a long stream of energy, and destroyed the camera.

"Raven!" they all shouted.

BeastBoy was the first one out the door, and as he was running he did something he hadn't done in a long time… he prayed.

"Can you hear me? Am I getting through alright? Can you see her? Can you make her be alright? You can hear me! Let me take her place awhile! See she's not just anyone… she's my love," he cried, his tears blurring his vision as he sprinted towards the room holding the deranged girl.

Cyborg caught up to him and blocked the entrance to the door.

"BeastBoy, you can't go through there, she's out of control!"

"Move you portable toaster or I'll make you!" he growled.

"BB, listen to-"

BeastBoy gave him a powerful right hook, causing him to fall to the ground with a heavy thud. Before he could get back up BeastBoy pounded the key pad, short-circuiting it and making the door open. He pushed the green button on the other side and entered, rushing towards Raven who was hovering a couple inches above the ground. Her head twisting to the side at a painful looking angle. As Raven started to levitate higher, BeastBoy jumped into the air and held her against the ground.

"Who is this? BeastBoy? Come to ravage me again have you?"

BeastBoy cringed at how cruelly/calmly she said that.

'Raven, Raven it's Cere'. Come on Raven respond. Dammit, she has a barrier around her subconscious. Looks like I have to force myself through. I'm sorry Raven, but this is gonna hurt.'

Raven's smile suddenly vanished and her jaw dropped, her eyes seemed to widen even more if that was possible. Time seemed to stop for a moment as Raven drew in the deepest breath you could ever harvest up in your pathetic excuse for an imagination… and let out the loudest and most inhuman screech you could ever think of. Let me try to explain how it sounded like. Remember Jurassic Park 3 with that shrill cry of a raptor? Well, it sounded like that only higher pitched.

BeastBoy rolled over on his side, screaming and covering his sensitive ears from the ear shattering sound. Both of them where now on the floor, arching their backs and screaming till their hearts content. Robin burst into the room and dragged BeastBoy out, slamming the door behind him, leaving Raven inside to struggle with her inner suffering.

'Bear with me Raven, you can handle this!' Cere' told her.

She was foaming at the mouth, drool running down her chin and cheeks. Her eyes were filled with painful tears as Cere' slowly, but surely made way through Raven's head. She arched her back again, no noise coming out of her mouth, but it was making up for it by causing her chakra to send deadly sparks everywhere. If anyone where to walk in, they would die of an overdose of energy, causing their body to build up and explode as Raven's was about to do if Cere' didn't do something.

As Cere' neared the end, Raven started shaking her head so violently that it seemed like it would detach from her neck at any second, she started screaming again as Cere' finally burst through.

'Just a little longer Raven. All I need to do is get your brain back in working order, you can relax now, it'll take a few days.'

And that's exactly what Raven did. Her whole body stopped all movement. She had passed out, although her mouth was still agape as were her eyes. Her breathing was long and ragged, like it was the last time she would ever breath again so she took as much as she could.

Robin cracked open the door, to see Raven lying there motionless.

"Oh my God, Raven!"

He rushed over to her and checked her pulse. Luckily there was one. Unluckily, she needed medical attention immediately. He swiped a hand over her eyes and mouth, closing them, then lifted her up bridal style and carried her out of the room.

Robin exited the horrid confines of the white room, Raven's head bobbing softly as BeastBoy and Cyborg followed behind them in a deadly silence. They laid her on the medical bed and hooked her up to countless wires and monitors.

BeastBoy walked up to one and pointed to it.

"Woah, these lines are going up high. What does that mean?"

"It means Raven's brain activity is going off the charts, and the one lower is her heart rate which is going a whole lot higher than normal," Robin responded.

"Can't we do anything?"

"Afraid not lil' man. This seems to all be going on in her head, and medicine doesn't work on her. She has to fight through this on her own."

"That's not good enough! We have to find some-"

The monitors started making one long continuous beep.

"No, no, no!" Robin shouted.

"What's going on?"

"Her brain, her heart, it's stopped. Cyborg, get the defibrillator!"

Cyborg ran into a storage room and pulled out the defibrillator (you know in those ambulances, they have those to things that shock people? They shout "Clear!" and they put those devices on the victim's chest and their whole body jolts. That is the defibrillator). Robin took out a bird-a-rang and ripped open the straight jacket, revealing Raven's bare chest.

Cyborg handed Robin the device and he rubbed the two items together.

"Clear!"

He placed it on her chest and her whole body jolted up, er… arched upwards. He removed them and the monitors beeped twice, than her heart rate stopped again. Robin did the process once again and Raven drew in a massive breath.

She sat straight up, coughed harshly a few times, and then her eyes rolled in the back of her head, unconscious yet again.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, thankful that their dark angel was alright.

"We'll each take turns watching her, okay? Cyborg, you get first honors, then BeastBoy, then me. If there's any trouble, I'm sure you know what to do."

Cyborg nodded as BeastBoy and Robin headed out the room. Then, BeastBoy turned on his heels abruptly and yelled:

"Dudes! I think her boobs got bigger! Awesomeness!"

Robin grabbed BeastBoy by the arm and dragged him out the room as Cyborg bust out laughing.

Sorry it's so short ya'll, but I wanna save the rest for the next chapter ya know

Anyways, I hoped you liked this moment of insanity brought to you by Cocoa-Cola. Joking, ha-ha, that was so funny. Almost as funny as me saying "Cheetos, taste the rainbow" by accident. Review, damn you! Review! Heh- heh.
