Beast Boy wasn't sure what happened, but apparently he fell asleep soon after making some comment to Raven. He hoped it wasn't in bad taste; he was a bit out of it. He didn't even know where he was now, but then again, he didn't have his eyes open yet. He started to move some. Funny, it didn't feel like his bed, it was harder. And this room smelled cleaner. He felt comfortable here though, wouldn't mind just not getting up. Seemed like someone was watching over him, and it was nice. He finally opened his eyes. There was a strange shaped mirror next to the bed. It made his features look a bit more piercing, and slightly darker. On the table on the other side of him was that mirror he and Cyborg had accidentally used to get sucked into Raven's subconscious. He reflected back on her having to come to save their asses. Such happy memories. And then there was the book that the dragon demon Malchior was trapped in, and how Raven had also managed to re-trap him after being tricked to release him. She had to save them all then too… and another time today, she had to save Beast Boy. It seemed like she was always saving him especially. He felt a big disgusted, like he was a little kid. Especially cause this was the girl he had always secretly been fond of over anyone else. Even if he didn't always show it. He loved to make her smile.
As Beast Boy sat up on the bed, it JUST occurred to him that he must be in Raven's room. He looked around. It was like he had seen before the only other time he was in here. When he got sucked into the mirror. He managed to screw up a lot. Thanks to others, especially Raven, they always smoothed over. She must not think very highly of them. As he leaned against the wall and felt a pain in his back that must be from one of his falls he said out loud, "Wow, I'm such a screw up."
"Don't say that. If you hadn't held him up as long as you did, I might not have made it in time, and someone could have gotten hurt. Robin even said I was the only one that could stop him."
Beast Boy jumped. He didn't realize that Raven had been standing right there the whole time, leaning on the wall next to her bed watching him. He noticed that her blue cloak was on a hanger by the wall, and she only had on her black jumpsuit, which he noticed really DID look like a one piece bathing suit with sleeves. It looked smaller on her than usual, she must have been in a hurry to get dressed.
"You did a good job Beast Boy. Now lay back down, you shouldn't move your back too much."
Her face showed slight flashes of concern, it was another shocking show of emotion. He knew she felt them, but always avoided showing them. Past few days, it seemed like she was getting looser about it.
"Thanks. So what happened with Slipstream?"
"Cyborg took him to a mental hospital. He hasn't been the same sense I almost lost control," she said with what sounded like pride.
"Almost? I think that was an all out 'lost it' right there. The minute he looked like he was going to get me too…"
"Quiet. Speaking anymore will hurt your back."
Beast Boy was shocked. Raven was always sarcastic, but never jokingly so.
"Anyway, I volunteered to let you rest here, since we were afraid you'd catch a disease in your room." She leaned over (much to Beast Boy's excitement) and put a thermometer in his mouth. "Anything else?"
"Yea, sorry about the whole, seeing you naked thing. It really was an accident."
"I know. It wasn't all your fault. Besides you apologized already…"
"So, what exactly DID make you snap like that back in the alley?"
"Oh, it was nothing, just, I don't know." She started sounding flustered. "I guess I'm just, protective."
Yup, thought Beast Boy, this REALLY wasn't Raven. He had never seen her nervous before. She quickly took out his thermometer, and without even looking at it said "All better!" with a fake smile. She did a quick incantation and with a black flash his back suddenly felt better. She lifted him up, kissed him on the cheek, and started pushing him out the door.
"Huh, wait, WAH, Raven, what… wait, stop pushing, why didn't you just do that in the first… did you just..?" But he didn't have a chance. He was out the door already and she was closing it saying "Your welcome, hope you feel better!" Then the door slammed in his face, just like the times she had done it in anger.
'What was THAT,' Beast Boy thought to himself… 'wait, did she just kiss me?'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven started splashing water on her face from the Basin in the corner of her room. What had happened to her? She couldn't be feeling like that towards Beast Boy, she couldn't be. It didn't even make sense, much less be possible. 'No,' she thought to herself. 'I'm just still jumpy from transforming today. That's all. I can't be attracted to someone. Who knows what it would do to my powers. My subconscious isn't THAT stupid.' And she decided that settled it. She went to meditate for half an hour, and then decided to go join the others. She really was fine. She seemed more in control. The idea of Beast Boy seemed silly now. 'He's just Beast Boy, with the cute gr-…' … this would take some work. She shouldn't let herself fall for this.
As she walked out the door in her normal attire, she didn't notice anything, but there was a shape stirring in the shadows. At first, it looked like two red eyes, and then a wide, sinister grin…
