A FEW HOURS AGO DURING THE DEAD OF NIGHT

"What have you DONE!?"

"But sir," Barsidious said smugly, "I was only following orders."

"You were toying with them before I even gave the orders you IMBECILE!"

"You didn't give much direction as to when, simply soon. The past is soon by, sir. It didn't have effect untill recently."

"You are not toying with ME are you Barsidious?"

"I wouldn't DREAM of it sir," he said with a smirk.

"I shouldn't have to remind you to check yourself, Mr. White. I hired you, and can dispose of you if I see fit."

"I should remind you, Emmaus, who I am, and the position you came to me in."

The old man stiffened. "How do you know my name?"

"How did I not?" he asked, more to himself than the old man. He was an odd character.

"I will have no more of this. You are terminated. Your services have already been completed as it were."

"Then I will take my leave," he said with a clairvoyant grin and a bow

"I don't know when I mentioned you leaving at all, Barsidious. You have quite a reputation. Mine will surely increase as well, after killing you."

"Is that so?"

Emmaus quickly removed his right hand from the coat pocket of his black suit jacket it had not left since the beginning of their meeting. As it pointed open palmed at Barsidious, who was watching with mild interest, it began to become clear and shining, as if it was a luminescent chameleon. He gripped down as if squeezing all the air that was in his palm. Barsidious's eyes flashed so fast Emmaus didn't even notice, but he was still affected. He felt like all the air was being choked out of his throat, but he didn't feel any hands around his neck. Emmaus could only affect his vital organs, such as a windpipe by sending mental suggestions to the nerves. This would be easier than he thought. Before deciding to conserve his breath, he spilled out in a choked voice, "so you will try and mentally choke another psychic?"

"Wait, another psychic? I thought-..." His words were cut off. Suddenly, the attack had been reversed, and strengthened. This man had reversed his strongest wave of the human puppet abiity while speaking. He thought Barsidious was only a magic user. Emmaus began to surrender himself to death, but it didn't come, no matter how much he tried to calm his mind, as if White wouldn't let him die. Choking was not an easy way to go, why couldn't just end? As he tried a third time to slip away, it finally stopped. Someone had grabbed him from behind. He looked, and it was Barsidious. He seemed to find himself and attempted to run forward and initiate his chameleon-like psychic shield and escape when he ran into Barsidious again. Almost screaming silently from a fear that was beyond anything he had felt before, possibly being controlled by Barsidious, he turned and ran backwards into the Barsidious behind him. There were two? It was all becoming a daze, like he was hallucinating and losing his mind. The one behind him held him in a full nelson easily. He was very strong. The other replied, "Time for a test, Emmaus." He began laughing deeply, while staring straight into Emmaus's eyes. Emmaus started to fade from consiousness as he saw himself flying down a dark tunnel into what seemed like another version of the room he was inside already.

As Barsidious walked out of the warehouse into an alley and changed back from his metal skull mask, hat, and cloak to his street clothes he reflected on how easy all this had been. The old man had such a large ego, it seemed easy and nesseary to bring him down a notch. It was all falling into place better than he could hope for. Emmaus wasn't really needed at all, but he knew it would make things more interesting later one when it came time to deal with them both. A puppet was always useful. And disposable, as he thought back to Skyler. Or even the most important thing as he reflected on Raven. It was like chess, all falling into place. Only a few more moves left on his part, and then to watch the fun. 'You will be free soon, my love.'

BACK-TO-THE-TITANS

TIME: in a few hours later the next morning, the exact time we left off with Raven.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Raven walked down the hall, she started to try and think of a cover story or some reason she could give for what happened. None came. As she started to think more, she began to remember some of what she did when she was possessed or sleepwalking or whatever that thing made her do. She had gone into Beast Boy's room, and they had been talking, but she couldn't remember any of what it was about. They had been just sitting, talking, and laughing for what looked like hours without ever having done it. She could even see it in her minds eye like she really did it. It seemed as if someone implanted the memories. She wished, but it looked like they were real. She really hoped nothing too hard to explain happened. What she meant was, 'I hope nothing too hard to lie about.' If only she could remeber anything, and how they ended up sleeping together... 'no, that MUST be wrong. Even possessed, I know I couldn't have done THAT. Beast Boy can be annoying, but I trust him to not take things that far, even if I was messed up. We probably just fell asleep talking. He cuddles with anything he can touch when he sleeps anyway.' She started to smile without thinking as she pictured him with the stuffed bear Starfire had snuck in to his room. She caught herself quickly, and remembered that she didn't have any feelings for Beast Boy other than a friend. She couldn't, it was just stupid.

She was lucky, and he didn't beat her out. If he had, he would have certainly said something to someone. She didn't even want BEAST BOY to know this happened, much less anyone else. Maybe he would have some strange amnesia too. She didn't remember coming into his room, there could have been more than one piece of the black substance. That would make sense. Or at least, that would make her feel better. She started making her morning jinseng tea, and hoped for the best. That was really all she could do at this point. Now she was starting to lose her cool. On Christmas eve, of all times. It looked like her powers weren't acting up though. Or so she hoped...

As Beast Boy woke up, his eyes were very foggy, like always. What a night. His head hurt a bit, but it wasn't too bad. Just a morning headache. He vaguely remembered something great happening last night, but he couldn't think of what. When he was more awake it would be easier, sometimes he even had trouble remembering his name in the mornings. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he started to realize there was another body in his bed, pressed up against him like they had been cuddling while asleep. And that body happened to be Raven, sleeping soundly and even slightly smiling. Instead of making a shocked loud noise, he just sat there and watched her sleep, one of the few times he ever saw her smile. She was really cute. He wasn't awake enough to wonder why she was in his bed, and realized she would skin him alive when she woke up. 'Oh well,' he thought as he laid his head down, for now, it was nice. As he closed his eyes, she started to stir, and without wanting to he fell back asleep before she noticed anything.

When he woke up again, she was running out of the room and slamming the door. Now he was suspicious. More like curious about how and why Raven was in his bed, and if she would be angry at him when he didn't THINK he did anything. He hoped anyway. It didn't sound like him to have tried something with her like that, and he didn't think he had been drinking. Either way, it was a great way to start the morning, he thought with a smile. 'It's gonna be a good day, Tater...'--(Authors note/ props to Ron White. Without his comedy, I wouldnt have that AMAZING line. My fan fics are good advertising, look at all the names I'm dropping)

While he was still waking up and eating some pizza he found in a box in his room, he started to gain his short term memory back. Raven had walked into his room in just her jumpsuit, in what seemed like a little of a daze. She didn't even knock like her usual habit. She was always very formal. Until last night. She barged in just before he got in bed, eyes half glazed over, and walking a bit stiffly. She still talked, but it was in a bit of a monotone. He thought she was maybe sleepwalking, but she moved too smoothly. She just walked in, and asked how he was. It came as a shock, but he answered, and before long they were just talking for hours. Laughing, Raven actually told a joke, and just acting like two normal kids. Not the half demon and result of a failed experiement that they were. He could tell something was a bit wrong, she wasn't acting herself. He asked several times, but she waved it off and said she was fine. It definately wasn't her. Before he knew it, she had fallen asleep right in his arms, in the middle of a sentance. He knew she wasn't in her right mind, and was afraid to move her. Then he accidently fell asleep too. He didn't remember much of what they talked about, but remembered enough to know that it was mostly trivial, and that he now knew what to get her for Christmas. That was if she would face him again. His only hope was that maybe she had been in some kind of trance. While that was bad, it meant she wouldn't remember anything, and he'd have someone to fight to defend her, which might win her back. 'As long as she didn't have to save me again,' he thought sadly.

Wait... DAMN, he really did need to get her present. It was Christmas eve already too, why had he put this off. He was glad he knew what to get her, but he could only some shops were open where we could find it. He bolted from his bed, dropped his pizza, re-thought that and finished the pizza, and decided to say hi to everyone and go hurry and buy her gift so he could get it ready in time. That last thing he should do now was not get her a gift. He didn't even have time to wonder what she got for him.

As Raven was sitting there listening to Starfire talking to Robin across the room about some holiday in Tamaran and Cyborg making fun of it behind her back, Beast Boy bolted down the hall into the Kitched and towards the door. He started to say hi to everyone, and then he looked at Raven, made a sound that was something like "urk," and fell over, running into the wall.

"Beast Boy, are you okay?" Robin asked.

"Yea, whats the hurry, man?" called Cyborg from behind Starfire. Both were using this as an excuse to hide their laughter at Cyborg's playing around.

"Oh, yea, I'm fine. I gotta head out and see somebody in town, heh..." He just stood there awkwardly, glancing at Raven while everyone else turned back to their buisness.

As he stood there and walked over, she couldn't decided how much to look at him, so ended up glancing back and forth noticably, and obviously nervously. She knew she looked a bit rattled, but she didn't care right now. As he walked up, she decided to talk first. She knew he had at least seen her run out of his room.

"Uhm, Beast Boy, I just wanted to explain why I was in your room. You see, I heard a noise, and-..." she started.

But Beast Boy interupted. "Look, Raven, I know you were in the bed, I woke up for a minute before you did, and then fell back asleep."

Honesty looked like it would be best at this point. "Oh. Well, then I don't know what happened, and its really bothering me. I don't remember anything past 10:00 last night. I think I got in some kind of trance when I touched something I found in my room." She made sure to keep quiet and look normal, so the others didn't try to listen in.

"I could tell, you were acting a bit, well, weird. Too nice and giggly, I knew something was wrong, hah."

She actually almost smiled a bit at that. "So, what exactly happened? I'm just really worried, like I'm losing control or something. I feel like I'm losing my mind, and I don't know why. I'm just worried that we might have accidently-..."

"Don't worry," he interupted again, "nothing happened. I was in my right mind, I could tell something was wrong." This was more serious than Beast Boy usually was, she noticed. "We just talked, mostly about trivial things, you laughed alot and even made a few jokes, and then mid sentace you almost came to your right mind but fell asleep right there on top of me. I must have ended up nodding off then too. I'm really sorry, but it was late. You didn't come into my room untill about 12:00. I really hope this isn't too awkward, I have no clue what happened."

"No," she sighed, "It's is normal fine. Awkward lately. I can't tell why things are so strange all of a sudden. Lets just forget about last night, it was probably just me accidently initiating a trance or something after all."

"Yea, alright. Well, I'm gonna go into town, but I'll see you later... I mean today, not tonight again, I... you get the idea." He gave an award winning grin, and ran out the door.

She decided to follow him. She saw from his surface thoughts something about getting a present. She was actually glad he put things off, since the present was probably inspired but what they talked about. She had to know what she may have told him. She told everyone else that she was going to the bookstore and a poetry reading, and walked out after him. What was she doing? She decided that she could be crazy once a year. She initiated her soul self, and teleported to town square. Beast Boy was already here. Now to blend in and find where he was, and what he was buying for her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Beast Boy was walking around town square, he was thinking that, even if it WAS a trance she initiated by accident, it would still have run off her subconcious. And when she fell asleep especially, it was completely willing...

And also, if she lost conciousness at 10:00, what did she do for two hours?

yea, thats something. you will find out all this really will mean in the end-- "it doesnt even matter... " (fades off into Lincoln Park land).
