hm, i need something more interesting for this intro...
o, this is my last update for a few days, gonna be away, so im gonna make this one long, give you plenty to read. and i did change this to T for a reason. I dont plan on having Beast Boy and raven 'do it.' Right now anyway. Just thouhgt id point that out. Keep reivewing thouhg, and ill still keep it interesting to read, and keep pervy stuff going. take it a bit farther. Since the ratings are what we think it oughta be, I think my story is fine for teens. Its not worse than plenty of animes anyway :)... and btw, I dont own the characters, if that wasnt obvious already. Thanks to those of you who review, keep it up. Onward, over hill, under stream, to grandmothers house we go!!!!!!!
BTW
character themes. Beast Boy is Lazy Eye by Silversun pickups. Raven is The Words 'Best Friends' become redefined by Chiodos. I think those kinda suited them

"Guys, you should come over and look at this news report," called Robin to the general area of the kitchen. Everyone filed over. As they all crowded around the couch where Robin was sitting, Beast Boy noticed that Raven was next to him all of a sudden, even though he didnt see her there a minute ago. She had glanced at him, and he tried to stop himself from going red, so he made himself busy playing with the remote. When he looked over again, she was either pretending she didn't look, or he was imagining things. Either way, she was reading her novel again. He noticed she was almost finished. He was paying attention to her, and not to the buttons on the remote.
"Beast Boy, what are you doing. Go back to channel eight! Hurry!"
"Heh, sorry..." It was back to the news soon enough. The headline seemed to be about a mental hospital outside town. 'Here at the Jump City Asylum, there has been some horrifying news. A patient, suspected to be the one that caused the interuption to the parade saved by the Teen Titans, seemed to go berserk. At 11:12 P.M., he attacked and severly hurt two gaurds, attempting to attack a third to escape. He had to be gunned down, as he was threatening the life of all three gaurds, and would have only cause more panic if he escaped. After this short break, we will be back with an interview with the head doctor here, as to discover what may have caused this attack, and to see if it is a possible risk with any other patients-...' Robin flipped the TV screen off.
"Something doesn't seem right here. Raven, I don't remember anyone you've asaulted demonically becoming violent. They only babble for a while, and really dont do much moving at all."
"Yes, something else is going on here. Probably foul play. But who would want him dead?"
"Maybe the people that hired him?" Cyborg threw in. "Didn't want him talking?"
"Well then it wasn't Hive. They send students, not hitmen. And they have more subvert ways of dealing with failures. It almost seems like they wanted us to see what happened to him."
"Well," Starfire added, "We cannot solve anything by wondering. I suggest we leave the morbid things for tomorow. Its late, lets just relax. Eat sweet things, and, um... Robin, can you come help me with something downstairs? It's something I found while shopping I am having trouble lifting."
"Um, sure? What is it?" Robin asked as the two walked off. Cyborg started to chuckle to himself.
Raven went back to her tea and her book. Cyborg was eating something and reading a technical manual for some type of gun he was going to build into his arm. Beast Boy just sat down near Raven, not really paying attention to much else. Things had been more or less back to normal between the two of them. The only difference he noticed was that she was warmer to him, and seemed to act different when he was around. In some ways she seemed to be holding back, but was a bit nicer, and smiled more at him. She had more skip in her step without knowing it. He wondered what he should get her for Christmas, since it was only a few days away. He already had gifts for everyone else, but wanted to think of something special for her. He wished he could read her mind instead of the other way around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven wasn't taking in a word of her book. She wasn't even sure what she was thinking to begin with. She hadn't been able to concentrate at all. She didn't know what was wrong. She wanted to deny with her mind what her heart was insisting, but wasn't doing well. Having emotions linked to powers wasn't easy. She was starting to enertain the idea of just letting it all go, but knew that would just be chaos, she was sure. She needed something or someone to talk to who could help. The only person that came to mind was Robin. Speaking of Robin...
"Cyborg, why did Starfire need Robin's help? She can use superhuman strength when she's flying, and Robin is only human."
"Well, you know earlier how we were all out before the incident with Slipstream? Robin didn't go to Gotham after all. His bike never left the garage. I think he was out with Starfire on a date. They were already there when he attacked, and the mall she goes to is across town."
This seemed to snap Beast Boy to more attention.
"WHAT!? Why didn't they tell us? We always knew there was something going on between them."
Raven beat Cyborg to an answer. "Well, its their buisness Beast Boy, they can tell us when they're ready."
He sighed, mumbled a "whatever" and slumped down again in his chair. Raven would usually find that rude, but it didn't actually bother her at all. Something was seriously wrong. Beast Boy was fun to be around, but he was also annoying plenty of times. Why couldn't she stop thinking about him? If she wasn't so good at keeping her cool, she would be pacing right now. She just hoped none of it showed on her face. Why was it so hard to focus all of a sudden, it just didn't make sense. Controlling emotions is what she's done her whole life, why is that making things worse now? Not that she was probably feeling anything towards Beast Boy anyway, she said to herself. 'I'm just tired.'
Still, she decided to talk to Robin or someone who she could trust. Or maybe even someone who knew about her powers, like... then it hit her. She had a magician she could consult whenever she wanted in her room. She told everyone goodnight, tried not to focus to long on Beast Boy, who was half asleep now already, and went back to her room. After she closed the door and made sure it was locked and sound proof, she took out Malchior's book. She would probably regret this, but had to do something. She focused her esence into the astral realm, and soon was in a blank multicolored plane with a black dragon chained to what looked like nothing, but even with his mouth tied shut. She doubted he would even be able to move, he was so tangled.
'Malchior,' she communicated telepathically, 'I don't enjoy seeing you again anymore than you do to me. I'll be quick and make this painless. How would my powers be affected by feelings for another person?'
'And why should I help you at all? You re-trapped me in this prison.'
'I'm not here to bargin. Are you going to answer me, or should I remind you that I can do much worse than bind you in a book. Do the words hellfire and Brimstone mean anything in your mind?'
'So, are we in love then Raven?' he asked, resigned to cooperating without any other choice.
'Answer the question.'
'I see, afraid to admit it to yourself?'
'I am not in love. I keep withdrawn from people to not become attatched, because it would cause me to lose control. I want to know how I can calm my mind.'
'Denial is the sincerest form of flattery,' he taunted. 'If you don't believe me, why dont you ask the denisen that is sharing your room? Now BEGONE!'
And using a power Raven didn't know was possible while he was bound, her forced her back to her dimension.
'Shows what dragons know. I can't be in love. I'm just confused from all thats been going on. What did he mean by the denisen sharing my room anyway?'
As she looked around, Raven didn't see anything out of the ordinary. She saw book shelves, mirror, bed, carpter, closet, mistletoe... mistltoe? Why was there mistletoe in here? As she floated upwards to examine it closer, she saw that it was shimmer purple, red, and black. Almost like it was made of energy. She reached out to touch it. The minute she did, it was like she left her body. She kept seeing random flashes of Beast Boy, just images in her memory bank from her whole time here. In between it was darkness everywhere. She couldn't even move. Like she was only a pair of eyes. It seemed to go forever, untill she finally fell asleep.
She woke up the next morning, with a headache as bad as a horrible hangover. She didn't drink often, and not just becuase it was illegal ar her age. She didn't hold alcohol well. Even Starfire could out drink her. But that wasn't important now. As she began to stir and she started to slowly remember what happened to her last night, she noticed that she wasnt in her bed. Or even her room. She looked around, and saw white and green walls, with several band and videogame posters all over the walls. There was as much trash imaginable on the floor mixed with clothes strewn everywhere. The room rung a bell, but she couldnt remember what. As she looked next to her on the bed, she remembered what. This was Beast Boy's room. Beast Boy was sleeping right next to her, and the position they were in one might have called spooning. After the shock just started setting in, she stifled the reaction to scream, and ran from the room, slamming the door behind her. She heard Beast Boy wake up as she did, he might have seen her run out of the room, but she didnt care at this point.
Now she rememberd. She touched the weird object on her cieling after talking with Malchior. 'Never touch glowing black mistletoe again,' she told herself as she put her cloak back on in her own room. At least she wasn't naked this time. She only wondered how she had ended up in Beast Boy's room. She thouhgt it only made her see visions. It looked like it controlled her body too. It had strangely dissapeared from her cieling. She had the odd feeling it was alive.
She was afraid to face Beast Boy, since she knew he saw her run out of his room. She only hoped all she did while possesed was cuddle. She was disgusted, and continued to try to deny feelings for him. Something must be interfearing, she wouldn't have done that on her own. Maybe Malchior knew something she didn't. Only time and scanning the whole Titan tower would tell. She couldn't be feeling like that for Beast Boy. She protested no to the part of her that said yes, and walked out of the room for breakfast. She forgot to meditate, but decided there were more important things, like damage control.
