Opening his eyes, Garfield saw Raven's amazing display of power as she defeated her father once and for all. He had turned back to human form after he moved out of the way. He smiled. She was truly amazing to him, and he couldn't help as tears fell down his face. He couldn't move to wipe them away.

"Garfield."

"Hey Zinthos," he smiled. "It looks like we won."

"You've held out for so long. How do you feel?" asked Zinthos.

"I can't move. I—I'm in a lot of pain. I don't th—

"Don't talk like that!" Garfield moved his eyes as Zinthos looked to Raven. "You're not dying here so forget it."

"I—it's not like you can heal me Raven. If you do, you'll die."

"How do you know that for sure?" asked Raven.

"I can feel it. My pain will kill you."

Zinthos lifted Garfield with his powers. "We need to get him back to your friends and the Doom Patrol. They'll know what to do.

"Fine," said Raven as she opened a portal and everyone went through.

The Titans and the Doom Patrol were waiting on the other side of the portal. They were happy to see their friends and Raven's family.

"Thank x'hal you're all right!" said Starfire.

"Welcome back," said Cyborg.

"What happened?" asked Robin.

"Trigon has been defeated. I'll fill you in on the details later Robin," said Raven. "Right now Beast boy needs medical assistance.

"Wait! What happened to Slade and Galtry?" asked Garfield.

"Unconscious and taken into temporary custody until we can take them back to the states," said Bumblebee, "and I think that should be as soon as possible. Titans East is flying back to America right now to make sure these villains end up where they deserve."

"Thanks for the help Bumblebee," said Robin as she shook his hand. "Have a safe trip back."

Raven opened another portal to the Doom Patrol's sanctuary. By the time they had arrived, Raven fainted from exhaustion. Raven woke up on a couch and as she sat up, she grabbed her head, which was swirling.

"Take it easy sweetie," said Metrion. "You've used a lot of energy today."

"How's Beast boy?"

"He's still alive, and his wounds are being tended to. His body's exhausted but hopefully he'll be able to move around when he's not in pain."

"He's asleep right now. Poor guy had too much excitement," said Cyborg as he sat next to Raven.

Robin and Starfire came in a few minutes after him with looks on their faces that troubled Raven. "What's wrong?" she asked as Starfire began to tear up. Robin's arm went to her shoulder.

"Beast boy's not coming back with us to Jump City," said Robin. "I've talked to Beast boy and Mento. We believe it's best if he um, well if he—

"Stays in Africa to die. That's what you're trying to say. Isn't it Robin?"

"There's no way we're leaving BB here to die Robin," said Cyborg. "I don't care what you and Mento discussed. He's coming home to the Tower where he belongs."

"It's not up to us Cyborg. He's made his decision," said Robin. "I have to accept that not only as his leader but as his friend."

Raven snorted at Robin's comment. "Please, I know you're hiding something Robin. You wouldn't just accept this lying down."

"I can't tell you what it is Raven but lets just say it would be painful for Beast boy to go back. He made a decision that he can't take back and now he just wants to put some distance from Jump City."

Raven looked passed Robin to Starfire and Cyborg, who couldn't look her in the eyes. "Ok, I want to know what's going on, right now!"

"You don't want to know Raven," said Mento as he entered the room.

"No, I think I do," said Raven.

"Even if it would hurt you?" asked Azar.

"I've been hurt before. I believe I can take it."

"You and Beast boy were in a relationship before I extracted your memories of being together. We figured it was best with the villains we were facing that you be at full concentration on the battle instead of trying to find a way to save him from his inevitable death," said Mento.

"You bastard!" she yelled, which surprised everyone. "Messing with my mind!"

"It was and is for the best Raven. He's dying. You wouldn't be able to be with him anyway," said Craven.

"How dare you?" she seethed. Her eyes became red as she pinned Craven to the wall.

"Raven," said Mento as he rushed to her side, "I'm sorry. I thought it was for the best, but it wasn't. You'll never be able to get those memories, those feelings back. What can I do to make this right?"

Raven let Craven go as he slid to the ground. "Nothing," she said coldly, "there's nothing you can do. There's nothing anyone can do," she said as she walked out of the room. She needed to mediate desperately as she crossed her legs outside on the back deck, levitated into the air, closed her eyes and uttered her mantra, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

'Raven, Raven! Love, she's gone,' said Timid. 'I can't find her.'

'I know Timid. I'm sure someday she'll—

'But what she doesn't? What if we're alone forever?'

'Timid, calm down,' said Knowledge.

'Yeah, we'll find a way to get those memories back,' said Brave.

'We can't. Mento, he did something and now we don't feel anything for Beast boy accept friendship. Every time we try to go there, we're blocked at every turn,' said knowledge.

'How do we even know it was good with Beast boy?' asked Timid.

'This BB we're talking about. He's a sweet and caring friend to us. Always trying to include us in everything so we don't feel alone.'

'Bu—but he let this happen to us,' said Rage. 'He let Mento take our memories. If he loved us, he wouldn't have done this to us.'

'Perhaps he did it so we wouldn't hurt so bad when he passes,' said Knowledge.

She didn't want to hear her emotions anymore. Raven opened her eyes as soon as she heard footsteps behind her. Unfolding her legs to stand on the ground, she faced a very hurt Elastic-girl.

"Raven, sweetie I didn't know. If I had, I would have stopped him from invading your mind like that. He had no right."

"I just don't understand. They thought I wasn't strong enough to fight in battle. They thought I would let Beast boy's predicament cloud my judgment in defeating probably three of the most powerful villains."

"You were wearing yourself thin Raven. Your friends were worried about you, but that is still no excuse for what Mento did. They should have talked to you first. I'm sorry this happened to you."

"You have nothing to apologize for, but it might take some time to forgive my friends, family, and Mento."

"Your friends weren't the ones who told Mento to do this. They were still thinking about it when Mento let Beast boy know on the trip to Africa."

"Why the hell would he do that?"

"I think he knew Beast boy couldn't make the decision, so Mento made it for him. He' always been like that when it comes to Garfield."

"I guess the only thing to do now is to go home," said Raven, "without Beast boy," she said as she felt Rita's hand on her shoulder. "You're welcome here anytime Raven, you, your friends, and family."

"Thanks Rita," said Raven as she walked back inside the house to see her friends' faces.

"Raven, we're—

"I know Robin. Lets just go home," said Raven.

"Really, just like that?" asked Cyborg as he came out of the medical room.

"There's nothing we can do for him now. He's made his choice Cyborg," said Raven.

"Are you not at least going to say goodbye to friend Beast boy? We all have. He is awake," said Starfire.

"I have nothing to say to him."

"A—are you kidding me?" said Cyborg. "The guy loves you Raven. This is killing him that he let this happen to you."

"He is my friend, nothing more. You're asking me to do something I can't do for him anymore."

"He's DYING Raven. Who knows how long he has left? You need to forgive him, so he can live whatever live he has left in peace."

"There's nothing to forgive. I feel Rage for Mento messing with my mind, but I don't blame Beast boy for what happened. I don't feel any love for Beast boy, and I would probably be heart broken and pissed at him if I had those feeling for him, but I don't. I am unable to have them anymore. You can tell him that yourself."

"I'll explain things to him Raven," said Rita as Raven nodded.

Raven opened up a portal to Titans Tower as Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg walked through it. She looked at the Doom Patrol and then to their leader. "I hope you can live with yourself for what you've done," she said before she disappeared into the portal as it closed.
