Shattered Diamonds
AN: Sorry for taking a long time- I know it's hard to wait. I DO have a reason, once more. I have a sleeping problem, so the doctors thought it might be a disease, so, they had to get a sample of my blood(Uh, needles...I HATE needles). Well, the first day, they had to stick me with needles SEVEN TIMES! And they still couldn't get blood(I have thin veins). However, the second day they could, and it only took two tries. But, instead of my elbow area, they had to stick the needle in my hand...weird, but there were more veins there. So, that's my short story...
-And yes, Corvinna, I will try to change their personalities. Except maybe Beastboy, because he's funny, XD...But, I do think Raven has changed a bit...or maybe that's just me?...
WARNING: In the second scene, Starfire will become OOC. She will be replaced with a different Starfire, thank you, that is all(::Fast talking voice comes on from the commercials::)No Starfires were hurt in the making of this story. This chapter will focus on Beastboy and Raven. And sorry for this chapter being a bit sloppy.
CHAPTER FIVE
SMALL DATE OR...HORRIBLE DISASTER?
Raven stood in the shower, raking her hands through her soft, wet hair as steamy hot water came pouring down. Rubbing away water from her eyes, Raven turned the knobs to shut off the shower, and stepped out. She grabbed her blue, skimmpy towel and wrapped it around her body. Sighing, she went out of the bathroom, into her room, then over to her black dresser. After pulling out her costume and hood, Raven grabbed the towel and let it fall to the ground, leaving her naked as she prepared to pull on her clothes. Her door opened.
" Raven, I was wonder-AHHHHH! MY EYES!"
Raven's eyes widened, and she grabbed the towel quickly to cover her nude form." Beastboy?! WHAT THE HELL!?..."
" I'm sor- I didn't mean to- OMIGOD!...Have you been working out?-"
" GET THE HELL OUT!" Raven screamed, causing books to fly off their shelves, wax candles to melt, and her bed to "basically" split into two...
Beastboy quickly slammed the door, leaving Raven embarrassed, angry, and irritated. A heated blush formed on her cheeks, making the whole event even worse for her. She felt her legs shaking and a sickening feeling overtake her stomach as she felt the need to vomit from the sheer embarressment...
" Oh, why Beastboy?" she whispered, pulling on the rest of her costume, then flopping down on the bed. " No, it just had to be him. Not Starfire...At least I wouldn't have felt so embarrassed if it had been Starfire or even Cyborg, for that matter! But no...Beastboy..."
There was a faint knock at her bedroom door.
" What?" Raven demanded, her voice slightly harsh.
"...Now can I come in?" Beastboy asked.
---------
" Man, I hope Beastboy's okay", Cyborg muttered, glancing behind him at the empty hallway, before returning to the Tv, where he flipped through the channels. Beastboy had gone to him saying that he wanted to ask Raven out, but didn't know how. All Cyborg told him was to just go ahead and ask her. It's not like she's naked or anything like that.
" Why woudn't Beastboy be okay?" Starfire asked, walking up behind the couch along with Robin.
Cyborg grinned. " Awe, it's nothing. Just normal BB stuff..."
" Oh...And what might that be?"
" Ya know, him asking Raven out, that sort of junk. Nothing new-"
" NOTHING NEW?! BEASTBOY?...RAVEN?...DATE?! OF COURSE THAT'S NEW, FRIEND CYBORG!" Starfire yelled. Cybrorg slid away from her and Robin stepped back. " IT'S NEW!...Right, Robin? RIGHT?!"
" Uh, sure?..."
"..."
"...Wow..."
"...Awkward is more like it..."
"..."
---------
" Now, what did you want to ask me?" Raven asked, as Beastboy sat on the bed. He played with his fingers, and looked up at Raven, his green eyes glistening with hope and determination...sort of...
" Well, I, uh...I was wondering if you could, uh?...Um...Could you..."
" Get on with it", Raven said, cocking an eyebrow.
" Could you...Would you..."
" Uh", Raven mumbled, rolling her eyes. " Just say-"
" COULD YOU GO ON A DATE WITH ME?!"
There was an awkward, still silence between the two. Beastboy stared desperatly at the ground, while Raven merely stared at him, barely able to conceal her surprise.
"...Yes..."
Beastboy fell to his knees. " OH, I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO TURN ME DOWN! I MEAN- WHY WOULDN'T YOU?! I'M GREEN, STUPID, ANNOYING, STUPID, WEIRD- wait...yes?..."
Raven nodded. " Yes."
"...Really?"
Raven's eye twitched with irritation. " Yes!"
" Are you-"
" YES, DAMMIT!"
Beastboy smiled, grabbed her hand, and pulled her off the bed and toward the main room. Raven groaned...When they reached the main room, Beastboy shouted," RAVEN SAID YES! DO YOU BELIEVE IT!"
"...Um, congratulations?..."
" Yeah BB", Cyborg said, grinning. " When I told you to go ahead and ask her, I was sure she was gonna say no."
" Yeah, than- Hey!-"
" Yes, I know, I know- congrats and all, but Beastboy, can we just go on this date?" Raven said, crossing her arms. Beastboy nodded and dashed into his room, while Raven simply walked toward her's. If she were nervous, she was very good at hiding it.
---------
" Do I look good or do I look good?" Beastboy stated, running his fingers through his hair and smirking. His faded blue jeans and vertically striped, loosely buttoned shirt made him look layed back. Cyborg rolled his eyes.
" For the thousanth time...YES!"
Starfire smiled and turned her attention to the door. Then, her eyes widened. "...She looks beautiful."
Beastboy frowned. " Hey, I'm a boy not a girl-"
" Not you", Robin interrupted. " Raven..."
Beastboy followed his gaze, and his mouth fell open. Raven stood, shifting her feet, and wearing a lacy midnight blue corset with neon blue strapes, and a black, leather skirt that showed off her slim legs. She smiled weakly and snapped her fingers in front of Beastboy's face.
" Are you going to stare at me the whole time?" she asked sarcastically.
" Uh, yeah..." Beastboy drooled. Cybrog, ripping his gaze from Raven, nudged Beastboy with his elbow, which came out as an unitentional shove. Beastboy jumped out of his dazed state and shook his head rapidly. " I mean no!"
" Okay then, let's go..."
---------
Raven and Beastboy sat on the docks of pier 41, listening the soft, rythmic crashing of the waves as they rammed into the wood. To the far side of them, the waves tumbled onto the sad of the Jump City beach. It was around ten O' clock, and nobody was there...well, except Raven and Beastboy, of course,
" Pretty, isn't it?" Beastboy whispered. The full moon lay above the ocean, casting a silvery streak down the water. Raven nodded and rested her elbows on her lap and her palms under her chin. There was silence between the two, before Beastboy finally decided to speak.
" Ya know, I was happy that you...well, said yes..."
Raven cocked her head and stared him in the eyes. "...Me, too."
Beastboy chuckled and asked, " What? You were happy?...that you said yes?'
Raven simply smiled. " Yes, because I have a hard time at controling my emotions, even at the abscence of Trigon. But, for once, I had to the courage to take control of those emotions and do something that I actually wanted to do...but this time, without any true fear."
He stared at her, shocked. She wanted to do this?...And it wasn't actually out of fear of hurting my feelings?...
Raven, sensing his thoughts and mixture of confusion, smiled and nodded. " Yes, I truly- always...wanted to do this- to go on a simple date with you."
"...Always?..."
Raven gazed up at the night sky in deep thought, then laughed lightly. " Well...not always..."
" Thats what I thought", Beastboy laughed. They both stared at the moon once more, when a noise made them wrench their gaze away from it. Both standing up in fighting stances, they turned and watched as a figure walked closer, laughing maniacally.
" You are making this extremely easy!" By the sound of the firgure's voice, Beastboy and Raven could tell it was woman. Raven felt a sense of familiarity in the woman's voice, and waited for her to step out of the shadows...When she did, Beastboy and Raven gasped.
"...Blackfire..."
" Well, that is my name" she said, placing her hands on her hips and smirking at them. " But enough of this. I was supposed to take you two and the robot out, but it seems he's not here, so I'll start with you two."
" Yeah! And what makes you think you can beat us?!" Beastboy shouted, his fists clenched.
" Oh, many, many things. I've become very strong and experienced in the last few years, so don't underestimate me! Now, on with the show!"
With rapid speed, Blackfire launched herself in the air, and sent a barrage of purple energy bolts at them.
---------
" Robin, are you okay?" Starfire asked, clasping his hand. He blinked, and stared at the ground. They -him, Starfire, and Cybrog- had been watching a movie, when Robin unexplainably stood up.
He shook his head. " Something doesn't feel right..."
---------
A purple bolt hit Beastboy in the chest, sending him backwards. Glaring, Raven levitaed up, and using her powers, threw a few crates hurdling toward Blackfire. She smiled and merely dodged them, then charged at Raven with amazing speed, then knock her to the ground with a single punch to the stomach. Raven fell and Beastboy turned into a lion, then pounced on Blackfire. He proceeded to bite down on her, but she smiled, and with her super strenth, grabbed his stomach and siftly picked him up. She threw him into a stack of crates, then laughed.
" This is easier then I thought!"
Raven's eyes turned a brilliant white and with uncontrolable anger, she cast her powers on the pier. From under the area Blackfire stood, a sudden burst of black energy formed, cutting a circled in the wood. Blackfire fell, but immediately flew back up, and sent another wave of purple energy blasts at Raven. Raven formed a shield, but the bolts easily shattered it. She was thrown on her back.
Beastboy, as a hawk, swiftly burst back into the fight, and began stabbing at Blackfire with his claws. Blackfire grasping his small body and slammed him into the ground. Her super strength caused him to crash through the wood once more, into the water.
Blackfire was not prepared, as one of the pier's lights wrapped itself around Blackfire. She struggled, and glared up at Raven. Raven levitated back onto the pier and shook her head. " It's over..."
Blackfire smirked. " Far from over you mean."
She then blasted Raven with her laser eyes, sending Raven backward onto her back. Blackfire ripped the pier light off from around her and walked steadily toward Raven. " Actually, now it's over."
Suddenly, a small a figure tackled Blackfire to the gound...
" What the-"
" Boo-yah!"
Blackfire glared. " Cybor- WHAT THE?! A KID!"
Raven raised an eyebrow and stared at the figure. Her eyes widened.
"...Claire?...What are you-"
" Saving you!" she said, grinning. She took on a fighting pose, and her fists began to glow.
