Chapter 24
Whoa that's long …well at least in my opinion
….enjoy…
She hit the wall with a dreadful 'thump'.
"Kissing the enemy my dear is treason," Slade hissed at the unconscious half demon.
"Master," Wintergreen said. "The dungeon is ready if you would like to use it."
"No," he replied once again grabbing Raven by her neck. "She deserves physical punishment."
He threw her against a wall hearing a loud dreadful impact.
…
He was a little nervous for her well being.
"I shouldn't have done that," he said holding his head.
It had been three days since he saw Rachelle or Raven at the coffee shop.
"I don't like her but still Slade has no mercy," he said.
"Who are you talking to Beastboy," Nightwing said coming into his room.
"No one."
"Is everything okay bb?"
"No, dude I think I messed things up even more."
"Why?"
Nightwing had a concerned look on his face.
"You remember three days ago when the city was attacked."
Nightwing nodded.
"And I told you my enemy was a normal thief."
A look of disappointment came of f of Nightwings face.
"It was Raven wasn't it BB."
Beastboy nodded.
"I kissed her," he said putting his head down.
"And I have been seeing her as Rachelle at this coffee shop, she didn't know it was me, I was using the hollow ring."
"Was she okay."
"That's the problem I haven't seen her since our fight, Rich I think Slade may have hurt her, she couldn't use her powers."
"We can't do anything about it right now but hope she is okay."
"I feel like this is my fault, I don't like her but still."
With that comment Nightwing exited the room.
'No you don't like her,' he thought to himself. 'You need to realize you love her.'
…..
She felt as if ten airplanes hit her simultaneously.
He was right next to her cleaning up her wounds as if he weren't the one who inflicted them.
"You see the punishment for treason, it is very severe my dear," he told her.
The ointments and oils and solvents burned her skin.
She hissed at the pain.
"I told you already," she said in pain. "He kissed me!"
"Do not yell at me," he said grabbing her cheeks. "My dear, look at the wounds you already have, do you want more."
Raven glared at him for a second but could feel the bruises forming on her cheeks, she shook her head.
"Good," he replied kissing her forcefully.
She kissed back, but at that moment wished she was with Beastboy. He let her go when he decided he needed a breath.
"Now you are free to go where you wish," he told her. "But be back by midnight."
She nodded and left.
She had a long jacket on and was wearing her hood to cover her bruises.
She walked into her favorite Café.
…
He saw the familiar form walk in, she saw him as well.
She sat as far away from him as she could.
He went to sit next to her.
"Go away," she whispered.
He was a little shocked but he saw the bruises on her face, on her hands, everywhere.
"What happened," he asked her.
"Ha Beastboy don't act like you don't know," she spat.
"So you did know who I was," he said a little angry.
"I told you Raven, that he would hurt you like this."
"Be quiet I don't need to hear a fool like you gripe about being right."
He looked at her, he could see her pain.
"Maybe you deserved it. You have become the devil."
She was about to punch him when the door exploded.
"Well hello hello," said mumbo jumbo.
"I see we have lots of people here to see me make everyone's money disappear."
Before he could actually do anything a green horse rammed him into the wall.
Raven watched as the two fought and everyone was escaping the café.
She couldn't move, somehow the stab wound inflicted by slade a few days ago reopened.
"Who's that little animal freak," he laughed. "Your girly friend."
"Raven what the hell is you still doing here," Beastboy yelled.
Mumbo took that as an opening to suck them both into his hat.
The whirlpool got to Beastboy fast and crept to raven who was useless to stop it.
"Have fun kiddos," he laughed dropping the hat and pulling out another.
….
They both hit the floor at amazing speeds leaving a small crater.
"This is your entire fault," Beastboy yelled at Raven.
She slowly got up.
"My fault," she yelled. "How in the world was this fault."
"If you hadn't stayed I could have not been distracted."
She got up and started to walk away.
Their surroundings were a vast purple and blue sanded desert.
It wasn't hot like a desert but cold like a blanket of snow.
"Where are you going?" he yelled going after her.
"Away from you and to find an escape you idiot."
"You know what go where ever you want, I don't care."
He turned into a bird and took to the skies.
The whole time she clutched at her stomach trying to stop the bleeding.
It suddenly started to turn extremely hot in the desert.
She took off her jacket and made a make shift bandage.
…
Beastboy had decided to stop flying it had felt like hours but he took a look at his watch.
It had been twenty minutes; time was different in mumbos hat.
He wondered why she didn't leave when she had the chance.
"She is so weird," he said to himself.
He noticed how the weather got extremely cold once again.
…
The team kept searching and searching.
There was no sign of Beastboy. He had disappeared.
Nightwing went to the café he said he would be at but didn't find anything useful besides the place being trashed by Mumbo.
"Where the hell is he," he yelled passing over the hat.
He didn't even notice it.
…
It was passed midnight and she hadn't returned.
He wasn't angry to be honest, he was nervous that she found a way to escape from him.
He also could seem to track her, the tracker said she was at a coffee shop but when he checked no one was there.
He wanted to find his little bird so he could beat the fact she was his into her little skull.
….
She had found a large rock to lean against.
The cold was unbearable and the wind painfully kissed the bruises on her skin.
Having uses her jacket as a bandage was quite counterproductive now that it was snowing.
"Why haven't I died yet," she cried. "Have I really become my father?"
She started to cry and the tears literally froze to her skin.
She started shaking and choking on her own saliva. The cut opened up even more and her pale skin was losing what little color it had in it. She started convulsing
…..
He was flying once again and spotted something below him.
The thing was small and looked like it seizing.
He realized it was Raven.
He flew down to her immediately.
She was bleeding and saw that she wasn't wearing her jacket.
Her body was full of cuts and scars and bruises. She looked as if she was hit by ten planes all at the same time.
"Rae," he said picking her up.
She had fallen unconscious and was hardly breathing.
"Rae," he cried.
He couldn't take seeing her like this.
Suddenly a hand literally reached for them and grabbed both of them.
The hand pulled them out of the hat.
Moments later Beastboy was punched in the face.
He was met face to face with Slade.
"I told her not to converse with you," Slade said, you could feel the evil grin under his mask.
"For that she must be punished."
"Leave her alone you bastard," Beastboy yelled only to be tranquilized by Slade.
He fell down in pain but didn't fall unconscious.
"I thought you hated her," Slade replied.
"No I don't hate her," Beastboy said getting up.
"I tried to convince myself that I did," he kept saying.
Slade glared at the boy.
"But I realized that when I saw her hurt that I couldn't hate her. I realized that when it was you who hurt like that, which I have to save her. "
Raven was slowly waking up.
"I realized that when she almost died I didn't want to lose her."
She could hear what he was saying.
Slade glared at him harder.
"I realized when I kissed her that I loved her."
…
End.
