They were both about to get one big wake up call, that would flip their worlds upside down.
Raven opened her eyes. Her head hurt and she was lying on the ground near the ocean. It was sunny. She stared in the water. Then, as if a giant wave had just pulled her out, she remembered. Her friends, but not Beastboy, were dead. Where was he. Raven sat up and looked around. Beastboy was crouching in the middle of the tower's burnt base. She walked over to him.
"Beastboy." He didn't seem to notice her. Raven walked closer to see what he was doing. "Oh my God!" she gasped. She felt like vomiting. Beastboy was arranging a bunch of blackened bones at the foot of some blackened wood.
He had a solemn look to his stature. "I just wanted to bury them." He sounded like he had been crying.
Raven threw up into the ocean. She started sobbing and gasping. She splashed some water on her face and calmed down.
"Beastboy, don't." she whimpered.
"You want me to just leave them here in the open?" he spat back.
Raven clung to a rock and faced away from Beastboy. She swayed back and fourth, following the waves. Her mind drifted and she imagined what would be happening now if her friends were with them. Robin would be trying to locate Slade without all the equipment that burned down. Cyborg would be mumbling about his tower, his car, his ship. Starfire would be-
"Hey." Beastboy's voice made Raven jump. He sat down beside her.
"You done?" she asked.
"Yeah." he said sadly.
"Good." Raven said, then she took Beastboy's hand and floated up with him.
"Where are we going?"
"Someplace that isn't full of...them. Where we don't have to remember."
Beastboy nodded and closed his eyes. He breathed in the warm air. It was such a nice day outside.
