Chapter 5: Hurt

Raven filled two mugs with the warm tea she had prepared. The mixed emotions coming from the living room were making her head spin and she needed something to relax her, but really could she blame him? In one day he discovered his teammate was still alive, and she had been raising THEIR daughter alone. She took a deep breath.

Well here goes nothing.

She grabbed the two mugs and headed into the living room, where beast boy was waiting for her.

He was seated on the couch still holding the picture of Farah staring at it with silent admiration, his thumb mindlessly rubbing against the frame. He excepted the mug she offered him and took a long sip. She couldn't help the widening of her eyes.

"Since when do you drink tea?" she asked as she took a seat.

"Since you left." He said evenly. "I dunno it just helped me feel close to ya."

She could feel his sincerity, but she couldn't allow herself to feel too much otherwise his emotional feedback could possibly throw her against the wall.

They sat in silence for the longest time, but Raven could tell the wheels in his head were turning. Even without her powers she could see the the emotional pain in his face and body language.

Finally he broke the silence. "So-uh-she's four then?" Even if he was the first to break the silence, it was clear he didn't know where to start.

She nodded. "Technically she'll be four in a couple of months."

He thought for a moment. "So March!"

She nodded, fighting the urge to make a sarcastic comment. Once again an uncomfortable silence settled over them.

"How's the team?" she asked.

"Good. Robin is now Nightwing, and he and Star got married."

"Yea I saw that in the paper."

"Yea. Uh . . . Cy's gotta girl now. Nice girl named Sarah. Um...oh guess who Drake's dating now? Kole."

That genuinely surprised her. "Really? Wow. Big bad warrior dating sweet little Kole."

He snorted a laugh. "Yea lot of stuff going on. KF and Jinx are getting married too."

She smirked. "Whoda thought?" Raven noticed there were a couple of teammates he left out. "And you?"

He fiddled with his cup looking into the liquid as if it would start talking to him.

"I-I'm ..."

"Mommy?"

Raven turned her head around at the sound of her daughter, Beast Boy changed into a spider and crawled under the couch.

Farah walked in rubbing her large, sleepy eyes.

"Farah sweetie what are you doing up?" Raven picked her up setting her down on her lap.

"I couldn't sleep." Farah mumbled. "Who were you talking to?"

Raven seemed puzzled for a moment. "Oh no one, honey that was just the T.V."

Farah leaned her tired head onto her mothers shoulder. "But you never watch T.V., and there are two cups of tea on the table."

Raven looked down at the table and saw hers and Beast Boys mugs. I hate a smart kid. Farah let out a large yawn. "It smells like the forest by the park and cinnamon cereal." She said sleepily.

Raven wondered is she heard her daughter right. "Can you . . . smell that?"

"Mm-hmm."

Raven stared down at the little blonde head, on her shoulder. "Farah, do you know what mommy was talking about?"

Farah was quiet for a moment. "Something about tea and someone named Nightwing and a Star, a Cyborg and Sarah, Drake dating a cold, and KF married to a Jinx."

Raven couldn't believe it. Farah had heard every word. The walls weren't THAT thin. That was impossible . . . unless . . .

"Farah can you see ok when it's dark . . . Farah?" The toddler was already asleep.

Ok Raven recap. Farah can smell Beast Boy AND hear everything they were saying. Damn it . . .

She waited a bit longer before taking Farah back to her bed. Once she shut her door she placed a spell over the door to keep Farah from hearing whatever they were talking about. She may be out of practise with her magic, but that spell seemed to be the one she always remembered. She headed back to the living room and when she walked in Beast Boy was waiting for her.

He had an excited look on his face and a large smile, something she had missed so much. "She has my powers!" Even whispering he was loud.

"We don't know that this could have been a one time thing."

Beast boy looked at her with an expression that said "seriously?"

"Really? Her parents are Raven and Beast Boy of the teen titans and you think she WONT have powers?"

She folded her arms, getting somewhat irritated. "I left the tower to keep her away from that life."

Beast Boy felt a flicker of anger, but attempted to keep his cool. "You mean keep her away from me?"

"That's NOT what I mean-"

"Then why did you leave?!"

"What you think I was just gonna stick around while you and TERRA raised MY child?!"

Beast boy gawked at her, by this point both of their voices were starting to raise. "You seriously think I would have TAKEN Farah from you?! You think that less of me?!"

She scoffed. "Well you did cheat an your GIRLFRIEND with me."

By now the tension was high and Beast Boy was ready to start screaming, but she did have a point. He took a few deep breaths, before speaking again. "Raven I know I hurt you . . . horribly hurt you but that didn't give you the right to keep MY daughter away from me!"

"She is NOT yours!-"

"BUT I HELPED!-"

"NO! YOU WEREN'T THERE FOR THE MIDNIGHT FEEDINGS, OR THE DIAPER RASHES, OR THE CONSTANT CRYING, OR HER FIRST WORDS, CRAWLING OR WALKING, OR WHEN SHE WAS LABELED A FREAK FOR HER EARS!"

The anger they were both feeling melted away, Raven's slapping her hands over her mouth. Beast boys anger slowly changed to hurt for Farah.

"W-w-what." Instantly he began having flashbacks. Back to a time when he was very young, when he first got his powers . . .

She brushed by him and headed for her couch in the living room. She placed her head in her hands and started to cry, not caring that her powers were ripping apart her home.

"I'm sorry Beast Boy . . ." she sobbed. She cried and cried until she finally cried herself to sleep, right there on the couch.

Ravens eyes slowly fluttered open, her head beating with pain, which usually happened when she cried herself to sleep. Getting into a sitting position she took a look around her living room and to her surprise it was actually cleaned up form the night before. She began rubbing her temples, that's when her eyes found the yellow device with the T on the front with a note underneath it.

Unfolding the note it read,

Raven,

I'm sorry for making you lose it last night. I cleaned up as best as I could, but I had to leave for KFs wedding today. We still need to talk so I left you your old communicator so we can keep in touch.

Talk to ya soon.

BB.

She sighed, thankful that he had cleaned up for her, but soon their conversation from last night began to ring in her head again. Was she really that hard on him because of what she THOUGHT he might do? She was angry that he wasn't there, but she never TOLD him about Farah so why was she mad at him for not being there for them? She glanced at a nearby clock. Thankfully she still had time before work, something she wasn't excited about.

Later that night.

Beast boy hated weddings. All around him were couples in love, while he stood off to the sidelines. Sure he danced with Terra, but if felt so robotic and unnatural. He could definitely see what Black Canary was talking about when she mentioned they were forcing this. They weren't like the other couples at all, who seemed so in love and crazy about each other. He only had two girls on his mind, and neither of them were there. Once he left them last night he instantly felt the emptiness again. They were like the missing puzzle pieces to his heart. He sat in the common room mindlessly flipping the channels on the TV when he was approached by his girlfriend who was now standing in between him and the television.

"BB we need to talk." she said with her arms folded and a scowl on her face.

"Can it wait my show is on?"

Terra turned around to the TV and saw it to be just an infomercial for something called "the Wunder Boner" (A/N: I am NOT making this up! I saw an infomercial for this thing. It is used to debone fish. You can look it up, it's hilarious!) She grabbed the remote and shut the TV off and tossed the it away far enough were he can't get to it.

"No we're doing this now."

Beast Boy stood up. "Well I don't feel like talking."

"That's the thing you NEVER feel like talking. You have to talk to somebody."

"Isn't that why Nightwing is making me see the shrink?"

"It wasn't Nightwing's idea, it was mine."

He stared at her dumbly. "Y-you?"

She sighed. "Beast boy it's no secret that you've become withdrawn, first with Raven, then with . . . "

He turned away from her heading to the door. "Don't talk to me about that."

"That's the thing you CANT keep things like that bottled up, you have tell talk about it." Terra scurried after him.

"There's nothing to talk about! It happened, it's over, we need to move on."

"But your not moving on, your burying it!-"

He spun around glaring at her with feral animalistic eyes that frightened her. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH! WHAT I'M CONSTANTLY GOING THROUGH-"

"Because you won't tell me!"

"YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND!"

"THEN HELP ME UNDERSTAND!"

"HEY!"

The fighting Titans looked to the doors and saw Nightwing watching from the doorway. "What's going on here?! And I swear to god if you say 'Nothing' Beast Boy-"

Beast Boy shuffled nervously, but at least his eyes went back to normal. "It's none of your business-"

"It is my business because your actions are effecting this team." Nightwing approached him. "We get it, the last few years have been tough on you, but you can't take it out on the people that care about you the most." He rubbed a hand threw his hair. "Look I don't want to do this, but until you get whatever this is figured out, you're suspended from active duty."

Beast Boy was fuming now, a growl echoing through his throat at his leader, but somehow managed to school his feelings. "Whatever." He snorted, then walked past him making sure to shoulder tap Nightwing on his way out. Nightwing and Terra just shook their heads, not knowing what to do with him.

They weren't lying though. The guilt and shame from what he did to Raven was eating away at the changeling and he NEEDED to tell someone.

Cyborg wheeled out from underneath his "baby", wiping his hands free of grease and grime. He stood up beginning to put tools away, a feeling of nostalgia and sadness coming over him. He loved working on his car, but there were occasions where he would be down here and expect Raven to glide in and help him out, this was his form of meditation and she was all about centering oneself. He missed her, she and Starfire were the sisters he never had, and when he came to the conclusion that Raven was dead, he stayed in the garage just crying. She had an impact on him that he never would have expected someone like her to have, and yet she changed his life.

The clinking of the door got his attention, he quickly wiped his eye and glanced at who it was. Beast Boy came walking into the garage, hands in his pockets, and he looked down in shame for some reason. Though odd Cyborg didn't care, it had been weeks since Beast Boy willingly came to him for anything and he was going to let it happen.

"Hey BB. What's up?"

He shrugged giving a fake smile. "Not much. I was just-uh-wondering if you had a few minutes?"

Cyborg was internally leaping for joy. "Sure thing man. Whats on your mind?"

Beast Boy took a seat on a nearby stool. "Well-uh-you might roll your eyes at this, but hear me out okay." He took a deep breath. "I-I think I know why Raven left."

Now he had Cyborg's undivided attention. "Oh?"

Beast Boy told him the story of how he and Terra were just drifted apart, fighting all the time and what not, and how he confided in Raven during this time. " . . . and I don't know, we just connected on such a deep level it was . . . amazing."

Cyborg listened intently to his green friends tale, trying to hold off on judgement as much as he could. "Well it sounds to me like you had it bad for Raven. Not like I'm surprised or anything."

Beast Boy raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"Well come on man, I mean we all kinda figured you two had a thing for each other. I mean why else would you be stupid enough to bother her, sneak into her room, or get her to try tofu? And from her side why would she let you do all those things and not skin you alive. I dunno man, you and her just had a different relationship then the rest of us did. Which was my guess as to why you took it so hard when she left."

Beast Boy hung his head again. "It was more then that Cy." Once again Cyborg raised his organic eyebrow. "Cy, I did something to her . . . worse then anything ANYONE could ever do. Even worse then Malchior."

Cyborg scoffed. "Ah come on man you'd have to do something pretty bad to . . . " Cyborg trailed off, his computer and human mind working fast to put the pieces together. "Wait . . . what did you do?"

Beast Boy began to tear up. Now or never Beast Boy. Time to let it go.

"I . . . I slept with her man . . . " Beast Boy began to cry, the hardest anyone had ever seen him cry, he didn't care his best friend was watching him. It may have been hard to let those words slip from his tounge, but he never felt so . . . free. The weight on his shoulders was beginning to lift.

Cyborg stared is disbelief. Had this been any other circumstance he never would have believed him, but seeing Beast Boy's reaction told him everything that he was saying was true. It all started making sense. The guilt and shame that he was carrying with him all these years, was because of this. Cyborg was angry that Beast Boy kept this from him, but Beast Boy truely felt remorse for what he had done. Still Cyborg was scowling at him as he cried. He waited for Beast Boy to calm down somewhat before speaking.

"Let me guess. Afterwards you ran back to Terra? What? Someone like Raven not good enough for you? 'Cuz as far as I'm concerend she was too good for YOU!"

Beast Boy shook his head, his words stung, but they were true. "It wasn't like that man! I don't know what happened-"

"You need a better explaination then 'I don't know'! Raven ran away, and now she's dead because of-"

"SHE'S NOT DEAD!"

"Listen BB I know you-"

"No Cy listen to me. She. Is. Not. Dead. I swear on my pare-my eventual grave. Raven. Is. Alive. I saw her with my own two eyes. She wears a hologram ring, she's been living in the city. Cyborg she's alive."

Once again, Cyborg saw no deception in his best friends face. His sister, and teammate . . . was alive? Had Beast Boy hurt her so baddly that she wouldn't even let her teammate's know she was okay? That she would just walk out on all of them just to get away from HIM? Cyborg balled his fists, his robotic parts sparking with electricity as they clenched together to maximum capacity. He turned away from Beast Boy, afraid he'd ring his neck if he looked at him too long. He leaned on his car taking deep breaths trying to calm himself.

"It get's worse." Beast Boy said.

"How in the hell can it get any worse?" Cyborg said through his teeth.

The next thing Beast Boy saw was a metal fist in his face . . .

. . . again . . .

. . . . .

. . . and again . . .

. . . . .

. . . and again . . .

The two days later

It was official Raven HATED jobs, and bills, and bosses, and people, and especially people wearing white socks with brown shoes! Which meant nothing at this current time, but seriously GET A FASHION SENSE!

She had started working at the library again yesterday, but to her dismay her hours had been cut from five days to only four, meaning she was no longer full time so she lost out on a lot of money and other benefits. On the upside however she had more time with Farah and today was a special day since her daycare was going off to the aquarium, a place Farah aboslutely LOVED. Raven decided to champerone, that way she could keep a wary eye on anyone who tried teasing her little girl. For the most part they left her alone except for when they wanted to get her attention, or to just mess with her, they would call her "elf". Farah ignored them, but Raven could feel the hurt and sadness radiating off of her daughter.

Farah had her hands pressed up against the thick glass of the seal enclosure. The big sea creatures swimming about every direction, gliding gravefully, and she followed with her large eyes filled with wonder. Once she was done looking at the seals she looked for her mother to find her on a bench talking with one of the other helpers. Farah wanted to go to the touching pool, but there was some of her classmates there already and she didn't want to go near them, so she waited until they left. She hated not being around people, she liked talking and making new friends, even if she was shy at first, but she hated being called "elf" and "freak" and this avoided everyone. She sat down next to the wall and waited. Finally after what seemed like forever her classmates left the touching pool and she finally was able to go over and observe the creatures.

She touched as many as she was able too, gently of course, then just leaned over and looked into the small pool of underwater life. They didn't tease each other, they don't make fun of others, they look out for one another. Animals are better then people sometimes . . .

Raven zoned out after talking for two seconds with this women, taking great interest in her water cup. All she did was talk about her husbands new promotion, and how they were going to afford that new car, and that new pool in their backyard, and blah blah blah. Jeez the "problems" people have sometimes. Raven scanned the groups of kids, but didn't see Farah anywhere. Huh? She was right by the touching pool a second ago? With her empathic senses she could tell Farah was still in the area of the touching pool, but her aura seemed . . . different somehow. Raven leaned over to chatty cathy.

"Do you see Farah anywhere?"

The women looked around. "Huh? You know I don't. Who was her buddy?" Shit that's right. They went by the buddy system and Raven was Farah's "buddy". Raven stood up and followed Farah's aura to the pool where it was still coming from. Oh no! Did she fall in!? Raven picked up the pace then frantically began searching the pool. It wasn't even DEEP enough for someone to fall into, much less a three and a half year old, but Raven could feel her daughter was in the pool somehow. She looked around, but all she could see were starfish, some clams, one golden yellow fish, some shells, and-

Raven stopped breathing, her eyes the size of dinner plates, her mouth slightly agape. Her senses pulled her directly to the yellow fish.

"F-Farah?" she breathed. The fish was colored a bright yellow that almost looked golden, her little scales glistening in the light. She was mesmerising to watch as she swam seemingly without a care in the world, but there was just one problem.

HER DAUGHTER IS A FISH!

"Adi, did you find her?" Raven spun around, the women heading towards her. "She didn't fall in did she?"

. . . Kinda . . . "No do you want to check the bathroom?" The women shrugged then headed to the nearby restroom. Raven went back to the pool of water, Farah-fish swimming about towards the other creatures as if introducing herself them moving on. Raven couldn't be sure, seeing as how animal emotions and human emotions are much different, but she could swear that Farah was happy. Happier then she had been in a long time. She'd worry about that later though she needed to get her out of there. Raven glanced around making sure she was alone, then reached for her large cup of water, and leaned closer to the pool. With her powers she created a black net and scooped up the little fish and gently placed her in the cup. This seemed to frighten Farah-fish as she began swimming around erratically, but Raven could tell for sure that this was her daughter. The little fishes purple eyes told her so.

Raven ducked into a nearby corner and vanished into a portal she created and headed for her home.

Five hours later.

Raven was out of ideas and had no choice, but to call him. She was so frustrated she had been crying so she had to text instead of call. She had been crying way to much lately for her taste. So much for the tough Raven. Finally she heard a knock at the door, and with her powers found it to be Beast Boy.

She wiped her face and opened the door for him, then jumped slightly in surprise. Beast Boy's face was covered in bruises, his lip was split, and both of his eyes were black.

"What happened? Cinderblock?"

Beast Boy chuckled, painfully. "Worse." She stepped aside and let him in. "I-uh-told Cyborg about you, and Farah."

Raven glared folding her arms. She told him not to tell anyone about them just yet, however she could feel that he seemed much . . . lighter now, like a weight had been lifted off of his entire body. Besides she couldn't be too mad at him, it seemed that what Cyborg did to him was punishment enough.

She shook her head. "Come here." She was now inches from his face, her hands coming up to rest by his temples, but he gently grabbed her by her wrists and pulled them down.

"No. I-I diserve this."

She rolled her eyes. "Agreed, but I don't want Farah to see you like this." He wasn't going to argue with that. Raven brought her glowing blue hands back to the sides of his face and cupped his cheeks. He winced slightly, but the warmth of her healing powers began to wash the pain away. Beast Boy relaxed into her touch, her delicate fingers working to repair the damaged bone, muscle and skin. Beast Boy felt like pissing Cyborg off a few more times just to be this close to her, the warmth, her scent . . . he missed it all so much it hurt. Once he was able to open his eyes he saw that Raven's fake face was starting to take his own wounds, then it hit him!

"Raven don't-"

"It's okay." she muttered. "It'll heal in a moment or so." Sure enough her injuries started to fade. Beast Boy had forgotten that Raven's healing abilities came with a price, she took their pain into herself, just one more thing for Beast Boy to feel guilty about. He missed her touch, and he also missed her violet hair and eyes. She wasn't Raven without those. This wasn't his Raven. "There." she said gently almost like a whisper. Beast Boy took a long sniff of the air she let out from her mouth. Herbal tea. Opening his eyes again, he saw her just inches from his face, her eyes slowly falling to his lips. Huh? I didn't know she had freckles? She had like one or two around her small nose. Finally, as if someone flicked a switch, they both realised they were looking at each other's lips, and she pulled away red faced.

Beast Boy followed suit, his ears and cheeks warming. "So-uh-where is Farah?" Raven sighed and folded her arms, shaking off the feelings that were overwhelming her and silently walked to the bathroom, a confused Beast Boy right behind. She leaned against the door and allowed Beast Boy to walk in, while she motioned to bathtub, Beast Boy looked at her oddly then went to the bathtub. At first he wasn't really sure what he was looking at, then he let out an audible gasp. He jerked his head towards Raven.

"I-Is t-that?"

Raven nodded then joined him by the bathtub. Farah-fish was still swimming around, as if that's what she was born to do. "She's been like this for the past five hours. I've tried everything I could think of, but she WONT change back. I'm . . . afraid she can't-"

"Hey, hey. It's okay. This happened to me all the time, but it's gonna be okay."

"I don't see how. I've tried talking to her, I even tried that spell I used on you when I shifted you, but nothing. I-"

Beast Boy grabbed her by her shoulders looking into her slightly tearing up eyes. "Hey, it's going to be okay. I'll help as best as I can." Beast Boy took her into his arms, once again causing her to melt into him. "It's okay." he whispered in her ear making her shiver. He released the empath then dove into the water in the shape of a green coyfish. Raven took a seat on the tubs edge and watched the two fish swim around each other. Raven's heart melted at the sight, a smile spreading across her face, and this time she was crying tears of joy. Farah was spending time with her father, sure it was as fish and she didn't know he was her father, but still. It lit a warm feeling in her heart she hadn't felt in a long . . . long time.

Then Farah-fish stopped swimming and instantly the little golden fish changed back to the little blonde curly haird girl. She stood in the tub, still in her little outfit from the day, and she looked very confused and wet.

Raven threw her arms around her.

"Oh my gosh Farah! I'm so happy your okay!" She pulled away looking her over. Everything seemed okay. "Are you alright?"

Farah looked up at her mother with confused and slightly frightened purple eyes. "Mommy, wh-what happend?"

Raven wasn't really sure how to answer. "What was the last thing you remember?"

Farah thought for a moment. "We were at the fish place (aquarium was a tough word for her) then I went to go touch the fish, then I was swimming with them." Raven watched as Farah's little mind worked to put the pieces together. "Then I just swam . . . then another fish was talking to me and told me to be Farah. So . . . I'm . . . Farah?" Raven pulled Farah out of the tub and set her on the toilet seat, she was still looking very confused and frightened, but then she saw a green fish jump out of her tub then change into a hummingbird. His fast wings dried of the green bird then it changed into a green skinned man. Farah was startled by the constant changing, but she somehow felt relieved when she saw the green hero.

"Beast Boy!" She leapt from the toilet seat and gave him a big wet hug around his legs.

"Hey Farah." he greeted just as loudly, then he knelt down in front of her. "How are you doing?"

Farah wrinkled her nose in thought. "I'm actually kinda hungry."

Once Farah was changed her dry nightclothes, which was a large red onsie, Raven made her and her daughter some ham and grilled cheese sandwitches with a salad. Beast Boy took only the salad, but he didn't touch his food. Instead he watched his daughter the entire time as she ate, hummed to herself, and moved her head as if dancing to a beat only she could hear. Raven could feel the absolute love coming off of him for the little girl, and it made her heart fill with warmth again.

"You know she's not going anywhere right?" she said.

"Hm?" Beast Boy didn't even look in Raven's direction. To him Farah was the most beautiful person in the world. Well . . . tied for first.

Raven chuckled. "Never mind." They continued to eat that way until it was time to clean up. Raven stayed in the kitchen doing dishes, while Beast Boy was in the other room with Farah. She could hear him reading to her, which she thought was odd since she expected him to just put the TV on. Huh, what else had changed about him? Raven finished up and peaked around the corner at the two, her heart fluttering with joy. Beast Boy had Farah in his lap and he was showing her a small beginners book about animals.

" . . . and what is this one?" he asked pointing.

"Mmmmm a . . . bird?"

"Yes . . . what kind of bird?"

"Mmmmm a . . . eagle?"

"That's right! An eagle!"

More tears of joy came to Raven's eyes.

"Mommy, Mommy I got it right!" Raven wiped her eyes and headed into the living room with her daughter and . . . whatever Beast Boy was.

"She's really smart Rae." he said.

Farah turned her head to look at him. "Whose Rae?"

Beast Boy looked at his daughter weirdly. "Uh . . . your . . . mother?"

She tilted her head in confusion. "But mommys name is Adi-ryn." she said slowly.

Beast Boy looked at Raven, his eyes wide with disbelief and shock.

"Hey Farah why don't you get ready for bed." Raven said quickly.

Farah looked at the clock. "But it's not seven yet."

"Well go brush your teeth, then you can come back." Farah still looked puzzled, but she leapt off of Beast Boy's lap and ran to her bathroom. And once she was out of sight Beast Boy was in her face.

"Raven she dosen't know your real name?!"

She shushed him. "No. And . . . she's never seen me without this either . . . " She held up her finger with the holoring.

Beast Boy looked at the ring then back at her, his mouth open and eyes wide. "Raven . . . you've been hiding yourself from her?"

"I had to okay-"

"Why?"

"I told you I didn't want Farah apart of that life, and if ANYONE were to recognize me they would come for us-"

"But why not take it off when you get inside?"

Raven looked down then gave a little shrug. "I don't know . . . I just . . . didn't . . . "

Beast Boy almost looked heartbroken for her, and why wouldn't he. Raven was working so hard to become someone else, someone he didn't even know.

"Raven-" Before he could say anything else the little girl came bouncing back into the living room.

"I did it mommy!" she smiled so Raven could see her teeth.

"You sure did." said Raven looking at them, even though she couldn't really tell the difference. Raven walked over to the book case on the top shelf and grabbed an Ipad and some headphones. She put on one of Farah's cartoons and plugged the headphones in so Beast Boy and her could talk some more.

"Raven I understand you want to protect her and want her to have a normal life, but that's not going to be possible. Especially now that she can change into animals."

Raven put her head in her hands. "I know," she mumbled, "I don't know what to do."

Beast Boy got to his knees and scooted closer to her, putting his hands on her thighs, cursing the pantd she wore. Stay focused BB. "I do. Come back to the tower with me."

She snapped her head up. "No I can't-"

"Why not?"

"Uh hello. How many times have villains broken into the tower? And that's just the beginning. What will they saw when they found out that, not only I'm alive, but I have YOUR child?"

"I'll admit, Cy was really hurt, and he might be for a while, but he'll get over it. He misses you, we all do, even Terra-"

"Oh god! What will SHE say when she fines out!?"

"I don't care. I'm trying to think of what's best for Farah, and right now coming back to the tower so I can teach her about her powers is what's best for her. If she or the team dosen't like it then screw them."

Raven looked down again, then over to Farah who was contently watching her cartoon. Beast Boy was right. They had to do what was best for her, and if that meant going back to the tower and being labeled a slut, or whatever then it was worth it. Besides it was clear that Cyborg would look after her, hell look what he did to Beast Boy.

She took a deep breath. "Okay."

Beast Boy had stop himself from jumping from his spot and shouting for joy.

Raven was coming back to Titans Tower.

"But if someone breaks in, or comes after Farah then we're gone alright?"

"Yeah, yeah, trust me. No one is coming after her, not while I'm around." Beast Boy ran to the back room excitedly, Raven right behind him.

"What are you doing?"

He spun around. "Um, helping you pack?"

She rolled her eyes shooing him out of her room. "We'll be ready by this weekend. There are things I have to take care of here first."

Beast Boy was about to whine and argue, but he just smiled in understanding, then began babbling about how great it was going to be to have her back, and to have Farah meet the team. She shook her head, he may have changed, but he was still the same.

After he settled down a bit, he glanced at the clock. "Well I should get back."

"Alright." she said somewhat saddly. She enjoyed his company the past few hours and Farah did too. "Don't tell anyone about us yet. Just Cyborg."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret until you come home." Beast Boy flashed her a toothy grin. Yup that's were Farah got it from all right. He bid the little girl good night after pinky promising to see her later. She was quite sad to see him leave, as he took off in the form of a falcon. The ice of his heart melting away.

Raven sat on her couch watching Farah contently.

Wow . . . I'm going back to the tower?

She did have things to take care of before she left though. After all she had a date with James on Friday night.

I was SOOOOO excited for this chapter! For when Farah finally gets some more of her powers. But we'll she get some of RAVEN'S powers?

I guess you'll have to stick around and find out ;)
