Ch 16

A year had passed with Garfield and no progress had been made. He tried everything he could think of and boy was he persistent, and Raven was thankful for that everyday, but she was starting to feel hopeless. This led her to sneak out of her home in the middle of the night, open a portal to Titans Tower, and step through to Earth.

Looking at Dr. Lights' time machine clock, she wondered if this was this was the right thing to do. 'I can't stand it anymore. I want to know what it feels like to be in love with Garfield. I didn't have that chance this time around but if I go back, I still have a chance to stop what Mento did to me.'

Taking the clock out of its case, she let her hands set the right time, took a deep breath, and then pressed the button. A whole appeared before, and she stepped inside without reservation. She ended up lying on her bed and as she got up and looked outside, she saw it was dark. Looking towards her clock, it read 11:59PM and the date she recognized very well. 'Tomorrow's when we got to Africa to defeat Trigon, Slade, and Galtry, which means Mento should be coming in any second to erase my memories with Beast boy.'

She heard footsteps coming towards her door and before he could invade the privacy of her room, she opened her door to see a very surprised Mento. "I thought you were—

"Asleep, like for me I wasn't. I know what you were about to do Mento. You were going to erase my memories with Beast boy, and I won't let you. I can handle any villain that comes my way no matter how bad. I am very aware of what is going on with Beast boy, and I can put that aside to save the earth."

"I'm sorry Raven. Believe me I didn't want to do this in the first place but now I know you can handle yourself and get the job done, I will leave your memories alone."

"Thank you Mento."

"Can you ever forgive me?"

"Yes, I'm not mad at anyone. I just wish you would have talked about with me first before thinking I'm unstable."

"I understand. Well I'll let you get some rest," he said as he left her room.

As soon as Mento disappeared down the hall, she made her way to Beast boy's room. Instead of knocking, she went right through the door to see Beast boy snoring on the top bunk, one leg hanging off the bed and she smiled. He looked so adorable the closer she floated towards him.

Carefully she floated over to side of the bed that he wasn't occupying and lied down. She searched for any kind of blanket and saw one at the end of her bed as she levitated it towards her body and covered herself. She closed her eyes and started to drift off to sleep.

When Beast boy rolled over in bed, he smelled lavender and a hint of vanilla. Opening his eyes, he saw a content sleeping Raven beside him. A smile was on her face, and he knew how lucky he was to have her in his life. He looked around for another blanket to cover him when he felt himself being covered.

"Raven," he said sleepily as he smiled.

"I just wanted to do this," she said as she leaned into him and kissed him passionately on the lips. When she pulled away, she felt it. She felt her love for him.
