Chapter 2

Beast boy woke up early this morning. He had been doing this in secret for the past week to practice. He had to. He just had to beat Cyborg in Ultimate Fighters Kingdom 7. All the Booyas and what not were really starting to aggravate him. Beast boy snuck cunningly to the main room. He took a peek around.

'Empty.' A fanged smile lit up his face as he jogged for the T.V. After today's practice nobody would be able to stop him.

BOOM!

Beast boy stopped in his tracks with a Looney tune black face and smoking hair. He fell to the ground momentarily knocked out. Remains of the T.V. lay scatter around him.

Raven stood over Cyborgs slumbering body. She was clutching her chest, her heart must of been beating 100 times a second. No man, not even her father. She paused. Definitely not her father had ever slept with her in such a way. How had she allowed herself to fall asleep with Cyborg in such a position. She barely knew him...

Well she cant completely say that anymore. They had revealed a lot to each other last night. Raven shook her head. 'No I cant allow myself such pleasures. It goes against all my trainings.'

'Training splaining! We finally had some fun last night and nothing happened. Why cant you just admit that you want this?' Happy exclaimed.

'I would have to agree. I grow tired of being your dominant emotion.' Sadness chimed in.

Raven glanced down and looked at her sleeping team mate. He didn't look like he was sleeping, it looked more as if he had shut himself off. Raven shook her head. She normally didn't make such observations about Cyborg. She used to not care. It used to not matter. It was already enough that she had to deal with her own burden all the time. She had no time to even bat her eyes at the less mature members of the team. And when she did have to waste her time on them, she made sure they wish she hadn't.

But Cyborg wasn't that immature at all. Goofy sure, he knew when to draw the line though. He had a temper, but that was manageable. It would fade with time, or should at least. What if it didn't though, what if he was always swinging from a good to a bad mood with little warning. Raven rubbed her temple. This is why she shouldn't have a friend. This is why letting her guard down yesterday was wrong. Friendship is nothing but a pounding head ache.

Could she change things back though. Did she posses the heart and strength to do so, did she even want to?

'Cyborg. Why did you have to join me last night?'

'Because he's your friend and that what friends do!' Happy said before breaking into the friend song.

'He most certainly was not my friend before last night. Why would somebody who didn't even know me come up to the roof to spend the night with me?'

'Why are you making this into such a big deal. Its nothing to be afraid of." Fear claimed.

'Augh! This is making me so...'

'Angry?' Angry asked hopefully.

'No. Frustrated.'

'Oh.' Anger went back to sleep.

'Look what you've done Cyborg. You've broken the balance of things. One night and you've changed me.'

Raven put on a face of determination as she walked away. This is for the best, she had the team on her mind. It was a sacrifice that she constantly had to make to ensure the safety of the team and the world.

She stopped at the door that lead down into the tower. She stared at Cyborgs body, glistening in the Sun. 'You'll understand, right Cyborg. Last night will have to remain a isolated event. We cant be friends.'

'Bu but bu..' Happys voice disappeared, pushed back into the depths of Ravens mind.

'I can't have fun, cant control it.'

A single tear rolled down her cheek.

'I cant have friends.'

For the next few days, Raven made a point to avoid one on one interaction with Cyborg. Which wasn't such a hard thing to do because there had been a major breakout at the prison. Criminals of all breed took to the streets and relished in the mayhem. Whenever they weren't fighting the steady flow of crime, Raven used the excuse of being too tired and needing rest. Cyborg ate up the lie like an apple pie. She hated the look of worry that would cross his face. She hated having somebody worry about her. Especially if the worry wasn't needed.

'This is so wrong.'

'I fail to see why your making yourself sad now. Your going to be even sadder when you tell him you cant be friends.'

'True.'

'The sooner the better. The longer you wait, the more you will have doubts about what your doing. This mind is a battle field remember.' With that said Sadness continued its chess game with fear.

It took five days to get Jump city back to normal. Well as normal as Jump city could get. Raven decided today would be the day. She would break ends with Cyborg, letting him know exactly where the line should be drawn with her.

Morning came and went, following steadily by the afternoon, and before Ravens eyes it was evening and she was sitting at the dinner table with the rest of her team mates. She didn't join in with the lighthearted discussion and celebration of relocking up all the criminals. She was deep in thought.

'I didn't do it...'

'I do wish you would hurry with it. Get it over with so you can get over it. Emotions have to sleep too. Besides, fear and confusion are horrible chess players.' Sadness droned.

The only person who noticed Ravens lack of negative commentary was Cyborg. He wasn't hiding his stare from her. She eventually picked up on it and narrowed her eyes at him. He raised an eyebrow in response.

"Something wrong Rae?" Cyborg asked. Conversation stopped as everybody turned their attention to her. She didn't like the looks on their faces. It was that same look of worry she had been getting from Cyborg. It was spreading, if one person took the time to notice something the rest followed.

"Everything's fine. Nothings a matter with me." Raven answered, lying through her teeth. This couldn't be further from the truth.

"Are you sure?" Cyborg asked, worry still evident in his voice.

Raven stood up from the table. She just couldn't take it anymore. "Yes, but meet me on the roof when you done eating." With those parting words, Raven up and glided out of the room.

The remaining team turned to Cyborg.

"What was that all about?" Robin asked.

Cyborg shrugged. "I wish I could tell you Robin, but I really don't know."

He excused himself from the table and hightailed it after Raven.

The table sat in bewildered silent.

"Son of a bitch!"

Robin and Starfire turned their attention to a pissed off Beast boy.

"That mechanical bastard left me with all the dishes." Beast boy groaned.

Starfire looked at Robin with curiosity. "Friend Robin. What is this son of a-"

"Not tonight Star. Not tonight." Robin cut her off, glaring at Beast boy.

"Hehe…."

Raven stood waiting on the roof. The city lights polluted the sky blocking out a majority of the stars. She sighed and took a seat, allowing the crashing waves to calm her.

"Hey Rae."

This time she wasn't surprised as Cyborg sat next to him. She wasn't as half absorbed in herself as she used to be.

"Hi Cyborg." Raven said, finding it hard to say anything else. She was finding more and more that she really didn't want to do this.

Cyborg waited for her to say something. When she remained silent, he became uneasy. "Is everything alright Raven. What did you want to talk about."

She took one look into his human eye and remembered why she wanted to do this. That look of worry set forth an unknown emotion in her stomach. She took a deep breath. As much as she didn't want to do this, she was going to force herself to.

She glanced down at the waves below and glared. "Cyborg. I don't think we should be friends. We should remain teammates and only that. Lets just forget about that night."

Cyborg winced. "Why?"

Raven had expected such a question, but still wasn't prepared to answer it. She yet again, fell into silence.

Cyborg reached over and touched her chin. He noticed her flinch and smiled. He lifted her face to look at him. "Raven what's wrong. Why cant we be friends. Didn't you have fun with me?"

Raven shook off his hand. "Yes I had fun. That's whats wrong."

"How can having fun be wrong?"

'Exactly.' Happy exclaimed.

Raven looked away again. "I cant do fun Cyborg. It wasn't the way I was raised. Its hard for me to keep track of my emotions when I'm happy. Bad things could happen."

"Nothing happened when you were having fun the other night." Cyborg pointed out.

Raven lacked a answer to this. He took that as her agreeing with him. Cyborg stood up and picked Raven up with him. She gasped as he lifted her up into a hug. "I think this is all in your head. The severity of a situation is only as big as you make it to be. We can work on that though, one step at a time. I'm your friend Rae, so are the rest of the team. We're here to support you."

Cyborg released her. "You got that because I'm not taking no for an answer."

Ravens cheeks flushing red. She just couldn't hold it in anymore. Such moving words with the bodily contact. It was too much for her.

BOOM!

Cyborg glanced down at his lost arm and sweat dropped.

"See." Raven mumbled, looking down.

Cyborg lifted her chin with his still intact arm. He smiled kindly at her.

"We'll work on that."

He lowered his hand from her chin, but kept it outstretched. Silently pleading with her to take his hand in friendship and trust him.

Raven narrowed her eyes at him for a split second, but a mental kick from all her tired emotions willed her to take his hand. She graced him with a smile.

'See. Don't you like this feeling?' Happy asked.

'Yes.'

SisCoKid: Well. What did you guys thing. Should I keep going with this. If you notice I write each chapter with a small ending in itself. So I could either leave it or keep going?

It would probably only take one review for me to keep going because I'm a little excited about this fic now, but at the same time my hands are a little full.
