Chapter 19
"So the aardvark was like you look like ants from up here," Gar said laughing.
They were enjoying smoothies at a small ice-cream shop.
It was quite a serene. Rachelle had to admit Gar was really fun to be with.
"…..." Rachelle had no reply to the horrible joke.
"Ha haha," he laughed looking at her nervously. 'Just like Raven.'
"So Rae," he said. "What's your boyfriend like.
"He is a little over protective, but I guess that's just him," she said.
"Well whoever he is," Beastboy replied. "He is very lucky to have a beautiful girlfriend like you."
Rachelle blushed at his compliment. Raven never blushed and neither did Rachelle.
"Thanks," she said smiling.
Smiling?
'Why am I smiling,' she thought to herself. 'Umm I got to go.'
"Can we do this again?" he asked her.
"Sure," she said mentally slapping herself.
"Bye."
"Bye."
….
Beastboy was sitting on the couch gazing at the ceiling as if it held the secrets of mankind.
"She is so beautiful?" he said aloud.
"Who's beautiful?" Terra asked walking in.
"Rachelle," he replied.
"Who?"
"She is this girl I met while patrolling, she is Goth, doesn't like being called Rae, she doesn't think I am funny, and she is sarcastic."
"So a raven clone in other words."
"Yeah."
….
Raven tried to sneak into the lair.
'Looks like I got in scotch free,' she thought to herself.
"And where, might I ask, were you?'
'Nope.'
"I was out with a friend Slade dear," she said sarcastically.
Slade glared at her, she glared right back.
"Which friend?" he asked coldly." Nick or Jesse?"
"A new friend," she spat back. "Slade you do not need to know every detail of my outside life."
"What was your friends' name?" he said coldly.
"That is none of your business," she replied.
In seconds he had her face down in the dirt.
"You know damn well everything you do is my business," he hissed.
She used her shadow claw to push him off of her.
"No it is not and do not ever hit me again!" she screamed.
"You will tell me who your 'friend' is," he said angrily.
"No," she replied.
His fist met her jaw.
Blood trickled from her lips.
"So that's how it is," she said harshly. "One minute your world's most passionate caring lover, the next your abusive."
"Tell me who the boy was," he said. "Or do you not want me to know you were flirting with a Titan!"
She gazed at him with a shocked expression.
"A titan," she said. "He was a Titan."
She tried her best to lie about not knowing his identity.
"Don't think you can fool me Raven," he said inching near her. "I know when you are lying."
"I can speak to whomever I want as Rachelle," she said. "You do not control Rachelle, hell you don't even control Shadow Night, and you are crazy if you think you control Raven."
"You are mine Raven," he hissed. "I do control you."
Her hand swiftly striked his face.
"Bad move," he said rubbing his stinging cheek. "Really bad move."
In a matter of seconds they were in a battle.
Ravens mind attacks against Slades strategic martial arts moves.
Raven had him pinned to a wall with her black energy.
"Do not think you have won child," he hissed.
"Why do?" she began to say before she felt a sharp pain in her neck and then blacked out.
"Sir," wintergreen said cleaning a syringe. "Should I take her to her room?"
"no," Slade replied." I will take her to the confinement room."
….
It was the next day and Beastboy was patrolling the school as gar again.
He waited at Rachelles' locker, she never showed up.
'that's strange,' he thought to himself.
…
Slade had locked Raven in the solitary confinement room.
She just sat and meditated, maybe going against him wasn't the best Idea.
She had been locked up for a week now, no food, no water, no people, no gar.
'Why do I miss him,' she thought. 'He is a titan for god's sake.'
"God I am hungry," she said.
"Well if you behave," slade said entering with some food. "Then you can exit."
"I refuse to eat anything you make right now," she said. She was being unreasonably stubborn.
"Fine be that way Raven but do not come crying to me when that titan hurts you," he spat leaving the plate behind.
…..
"It's been a week," he said to himself waiting at Rae's locker.
"Where are you Rae?" he said.
….
"So you will behave," he said kneeling in front of the head strong girl.
She had been locked up in confinement for two weeks now, still she refused to apologize.
Today she could see the hurt in slade, still her pride controlled her.
"I won't make any promises," she replied.
He claimed her lips in a long kiss. She of course kissed back. She
"Good," he said breaking the kiss. "Now I have a mission for both of us."
"Let's hear it," she replied.
…
The titans were lounging at the park.
It was a quiet day and the park seemed like a good idea.
Beastboy was thinking about Rae, he couldn't get her out of his head.
"Where are you Rae?" he said a little nervous….
Suddenly their communicator's alarms went off.
"Slade," Nightwing said. "And shadow knight plus cinderblock plasmas and overload. All different areas. "
"I will take on the cinderblock," Starfire said.
"Plasmas are mine," Cyborg said.
"I guess I have overload," Terra added.
"Shadow knights mine," Beastboy said.
"I will take on slade," Knighting said.
….
Beastboy headed to Shadow Knights location.
There she was just waiting for him.
"Hello," she said monotonsly.
"Well if it is Shadow face," Beastboy joked.
"Did your parents ever tell you that you are not funny," she said. "Oh wait your parents died when you were pretty young. Why'd you let them die Beastboy?"
With comment he lunged for the girl.
