Chapter 13. Leave Home
The pain was unbearable. The reality was overwhelmingly clouded with uncertainty and distressful morality. How could it be? After two years of searching for one another, in a momentary glimpse, everything could fade in to mist. It was just too much to take in. The horrifying pain, just to look at the morality of it, made her hear ache. And still, one question remained in her heart.
"Why did you leave me Gar?" she whispered through strong sobs as she gasped for air.
The sun didn't show any more. Two hours have passed. They were painful and agonizing hours for one Titan, while for the other Titans, the situation was clouded. Mist raised its cursed palms over Jump City again. Terrorizing the streets of the city till dusk, and its death at first sun rise, till it resurrects at dawn, and swallows the city again.
"Why?" she whined softly in high tone, scraping a few concrete shards to her self, on which he stood.
That moment, there were soft knocks on the door of the hotel room. Karai dropped her head phones and quickly bolted for the door.
"Coming!" she exclaimed running for the door. Feeling excited and happy she opened it, and her face suddenly became wry and horrified. In the door way, stood Gar. His shirt torn, but covered with a scarf he used to place over his face. His hands all bloody and still dripping small drops of blood. His pants were dusty and a bit red glowing because of the dried blood that stained already. Of all the absurd appearance, his face showed love, and for Karai.
"Hey…" he said softly and walked through the door, closing it behind him self. Karai stood still, and numb. Scanning every inch of Gar, she gulped loudly, with a horrified expression and slowly walked after him.
"Big brother…what happened after I left?" she asked worriedly, almost shedding warm tears. Gar sat down carefully on the chair and begun to undo the scarf wrapped around his chest.
"Well, I won…that's one thing," he muttered and removed the scarf completely. Karai observed the showing ribs. The bone was pierced through the flesh, with meat particles still hanging around it, and small juicy streams of blood, running down his torso. Karai gasped, eyes wide as dinner plates, and slapped two hands over her mouth, not saying a word.
Gar's green jade eyes focused on the little girl, and a thin smile ran across his lips.
"You think you can fix this?" he asked gently pinching his index finger on the stuck out rib.
"NO!" exclaimed Karai. "Don't do that!" she said and ran up to him, examining the wound. Gar gave her a weird look and grinned.
"Alright, I won't…" he said reaching for the wound. Karai grabbed his huge fingers and pulled away his hand.
"WHAT DID I JUST SAY!" she yelled at him, a few tears rolling down her cheeks. Gar chuckled miserably and then his face flushed, from the look of which Karai gave him. He sighed and pulled her in.
"I'm sorry about that…" he whispered to her ear and kissed her on the four head. Karai pulled away and smiled. Gar wiped away her tears and took her hand.
"Now Karai, if there is anything more that I can ask from you…can you please fix this…" he said directing his eyes to his highly bruised chest. Karai grinned wider and took a step back.
"Sure, but you have to close your eyes, or you know what will happen…" she said with a light giggle and brought her hands before her self. That moment, Gar closed his eyes and lay back on the sofa.
Karai's hands begun to glow dark red as she soared her fingers over his chest. The skin as if though became alive and started crawling and healing it self over Gars ribs. The ribs descended back in to his flesh and reattached. The blood stream quickly vanished as his veins bonded again to keep the blood flowing. The process was very painful but Gar kept quiet. Giving a few painful moans, a tear escaped his eyes as the ribs formed their way inside his body. He clenched his teeth and grabbed the sofa with all the might his fists possessed.
Soon, the stinging pain went away as Karai's hands turned light red, and soothing warmth descended in to his body, making his skin re-teraform and become shiny and tingly like before. After the healing process was complete, Karai quickly removed her hands and jumped back grinning and giggling.
Gar lay there for a minute, breathing heavily, trying to get his conscious state to normal after the gruesome pain. As the soothing warmth vanished, he slowly unclenched his fists and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. After a long and silent moment, he started to sit up. Karai watched him with her jaw dropped, as he sat up, and shook his head vigorously, getting rid of the wooziness.
After his at up, he opened his eyes and bent over his knees, untying the black massive boots. Karai tapped him on the shoulder, with a look of worry on her face.
"Big brother, are you alright?" she chirped. Gar looked at her, and smiled.
"Yeah, everything is fine…go get ready for bead…" he ordered with a loving smile and she obliged. Snatching the CD player of the sofa, she giggled happily and ran of in to her room.
"Good night!" she exclaimed and waved to Gar before closing the door.
"Good night…" retorted Gar and continue untying he's shoes. While doing so, horrifying images of Robin filled his mind. It's as if he was in Robins shoes at the moment they fought. Being attacked by him self from all sides like a crawling shadow. He gasped and quickly shot up, breathing heavily. Coming to realization of what he has become, what anger has drove him to, he clenched his fists until his nails dug in to his skin and streams of red blood broke.
"W-What have I become?" he asked him self, holding his huge fists before his face. "I'm a monster, and for what, only for a position on a super hero team!" he exclaimed in sarcastic anger and sat back down. He looked across the room, and his eyes focused on his own image in the mirror.
"Instead of my own reflection, I see a beast…" he thought and tossed one boot at the mirror sending big drops of blood soaring through the air and, completely shattering mirror to bits.
"BIG BROTHER WHAT WAS THAT!" came Karais distorted voice from behind the door of her room.
"Its nothing, go back to sleep!" retorted Gar in exclamation and pulled of his other boot. Standing up he ignored the drops of blood and approached the broken mirror. His reflection on every peace of glass projected. He stopped for a moment, and looked at the broken pieces.
"That's exactly like me, all broken and torn up inside…" he thought and picked up his boot. Pairing the shoes up, he placed them by the sofa and took of his black shirt. Folding it neatly, he placed it on top of his boots. After wards he took of his silver wrist bands and placed them by his boots. Standing up, he reached for his belt and unplugged the cap, his baggie black pants dropped and he folded them, placing them on top of his shirt. He pulled of his black socks and dropped them by the silver wrist bands. Getting to his feet he walked to the shower, and locked the door behind him.
The Shower------
"Why did you run away from her?" he asked him self in thought, as boiling hot water sprayed over his head, and ran down his back like a river. The temperature in the room has risen. The glass doors of the shower were hazy and wet. The atmosphere was filled with white steam. He took a deep breath and directed his face to the hot stream. Feeling absolutely nothing, he got caught in another trance.
"You should have not run away back there, she was happy to see you again! Yes' I know…but I couldn't bear to look in to her eyes after breaking the promise." He thought and thought some more. The thought of vanishing when he saw Raven was eating at his mind. How could he have done that? Why was he to hasn't to speak to her? Why couldn't he kiss her, feel her, touch her, instead of running of like a coward. (A/N: I seriously punish my self for calling him that y'all!)
He turned of the faucet and shook of the water from his face. His elbow against the shower wall, he leaned on it for a suffocating support, and looked in to the mirror that hung below the shower head. Looking in to his own eyes, a great pain surged through his body. Not physical pain, but emotional. Sighing deeply, he slowly slid the shower door open and walked out. Grabbing a rub off the hanger, he quickly put it on and tied the soft belt. The rub was white, and very soft. He approached the mirror of the shower room and wiped away the evaporated water.
Looking at him self, he took a glance to the misted area by the sphere he wiped. Slowly reaching for the mirror, he wrote 'Raven+Beast Boy'. He looked in silence at what he wrote. Nothing in his mind turned up to finish the equation. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Heading for the door, he turned of the lights on the shower room and closed the door tight.
It's been a long time since Gar left Raven on the roof. Raven found the strength to pull her self together and slowly stood up, panting of tears. Scanning the roof top she looked at Robin, and a pool of blood around his head. "Dumb fuck, you knew better then take him on…" she thought as she wiped away tears and walked towards him. Extending her arm forward she opened a portal to Titans Tower, and picked up Robin with her powers. Slowly driving Robins body in to the portal, she stepped through the black aura her self, and they vanished.
"Please Raven, tell me is he going to be alright?" panted Starfire worriedly outside the med room where Robin and Cyborg lay. After Ravens arrival, she healed everything of Robin that she could, and placed him in to the medical room. Being aware that Robin lost allot of blood, she connected a blood pack of his type, to his arm. His heart beat was steady as usual. He was going to live.
"Starfire, he's fine, he just had massive concussions, a few broken bones, and he lost allot of blood…" she said in monotone. Starfire stepped away from Raven, horrifically explicit. Small tears drew them selves in the back of her eyes, and took of down her cheeks.
"Starfire, he's fine, he'll live…" muttered Raven and slowly departed down the hall. Starfire, wide eyed, took a step towards the door of the medical room, and opened it a crack. Peering inside the room like a stalker, she opened the door and walked in, closing it tight behind them.
Approaching Robins bed, she slid over a chair quietly and sat down, looking at his bruised face. She took his hand in to hers and intertwined their fingers. "Please get better soon…" she whispered laying her head on empty space of the bed, closing her eyes, and drifting asleep slowly.
Raven walked in to her room and quickly rushed for the closet. Sliding the doors open, she grabbed a dark indigo cloak and slammed the closet shut. Quickly taking of the old dirty cloak, she tossed it aside and ran for her dresser. Taking out a black leotard she shut the dresser and unzipped the leotard, walking to the bed. Pulling of the shoes she took of the leotard and put on a new fresh one. Zipping it up, she slid in to her shoes and threw the cloak over her self.
That moment, Gar rushed inside Karai's room and turned on the light. Karai was suddenly startled and jumped to her feat, charging a thunderbolt in her hands. Gar caught sight of her striking and quickly ducked behind the bed.
"Karai it's me!" he exclaimed. Karai discharged and ran around the bed, finding Gar curled up in a ball she yawned, grinned and wiped rubbed her eyes.
"Big brother what are you doing?" she asked he frankly. Gar quickly sprung to his feat and took a deep breath.
"Be careful with those powers of yours…" he said waving his index finger. Karai nodded.
"Now why did you run in here?" asked Karai. Gar remembered why and headed for the door.
"Get dressed, we're going home…" he directed.
"Home?" asked Karai.
"Yes, we're leaving in 15 minutes, I'd suggest you get packing…" he muttered and walked out with a serious expression. Karai grinned and quickly bolted for the closet. Throwing out a back pack, she jerked everything off the hangers and begun stuffing the cloths in to the back pack.
"BIG BROTHER…WHY ARE WE GOING HOME!" she yelled out of her room.
"DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE THE MUSEUM IN THUNDER CRASH CITY!" came his reply. Karai's eyes suddenly lit up like flashlights and became sparkly. She quickly put on a T-shirt and tights. Pulling on some socks, she then put on the boots Gar gave her, and snatched her glasses of the dresser. Knowing that it would be cold at 1:00am in the morning, she pulled on a sweat shirt and pulled on her back pack. Quickly doing her bed, she ran out in to the living room.
"Big brother I'm ready!" she exclaimed standing in a position of a new school girl, grinning.
Gar packed the rob in to the back pack and placed the rest of the cloths in to the back pack, leaving his glasses, two helmets, the scarf, boots, and wrist bands. Zipping up the back pack, he tied the scarf over his face and put on the glasses, afterwards the helmet. Sitting down to tie the boots, he quickly put on his wrist bands and tied the laces of his shoes. Throwing the back pack on his back he turned of the lights in the room and walked out closing the door.
As he walked out he met Karai standing by the door. "Are you ready?" he asked putting on a long trench coat; it extended all the way to the floor. Karai nodded grinning. Gar approached her and gave her the helmet.
Raven ran to the roof of Titans Tower and quickly took flight. Flying as fast as she could, hoping that Gar didn't leave yet, she sped up her pace by a few miles. The light cold breeze of the night hit her cheeks as she flew, and that made her warm thinking of him, and their soon reunion. But, if she could only get there in time, what if she would miss out on him? What if he won't be there? What if, she'll never have the chance to see him again? "No" she kept saying to her self. "I will see him again, I have to. There is no way he can leave without saying good bye." She thought. The thoughts made her lips curve in to a thin smile as she flew faster.
Karai slid on her helmet and opened the door of the room. Gar checked his trench coat to see if Ravens picture was there. Pulling out a 4x4 picture, he looked at it. "I'm sorry" he thought and walked out after Karai, shutting the door shut.
Raven was nearing the hotel fast. She could already see it. The more she neared the building, the more her hopes have risen. "I'm coming Beast Boy…just a few more minutes…" she thought, almost chuckling from pure delight and excitement.
"Checking out sir?" asked the man behind the counter. Gar took his drivers license from the man and the social security.
"Yes, I think its time to head home…" said Gar smiling. The man nodded and looked out side.
"But sir, its 1:02 in the morning, its cold and dark out there, are you sure you must go now?" asked the man worriedly. Gar looked at Karai. The little girl with blonde hair nodded, making her helmet wobble on her head.
"Yes, said Gar and packed the social security and the drivers license in his wallet, afterwards slid it in to his trench coat pocket.
"Let's go big brother…" said Karai yawning inside the helmet. Gar chuckled and took his back pack.
"Thank you for your service…" thanked Gar the man and took Karai's hand, heading for the door.
"Thank you for your stay!" exclaimed the man cheerfully in their foot steps. Karai turned around and showed the man a sign of peace, before walked out through the glass gates.
Raven landed on the roof top of the building quickly ran inside the building. Running to the elevator, she quickly pressed the button of the lever on which Gar room ordered a room.
"Big brother, can I take a nap till morning?" asked Karai as Gar put her on the seat and took her back pack.
"Sure, we'll do the same thing we did when drove here…" he said stuffing her small back pack in to his huge one.
The streets were cold and silent. The street lamps shined their light upon the side walks of Jump City, and the stars illuminated the sky's. It was all silent, not a civilian in sight. It was early in the morning, so it was impossible to have any body snooping around at that time.
Gar pulled on a pair of gloves on his hands and put on the back pack. Throwing his leg over the seat, he sat down behind Karai and scoot her a bit forward, so she can lie down on the huge long metal gas tank of his motorcycle.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Raven quickly ran inside and pressed the button number seven. The doors automatically closed and the elevator started to descend to the seventh floor.
In a short moment, the elevator arrived and the doors slid open. Raven quickly bolted for the room. Not wasting time, she quickly broke the knob of the door and thrust her way inside, smashing the door to pieces.
"Gar!" she exclaimed running in to the dark room. "Beast Boy?" she exclaimed again, while looking for the light switch.
"Okay Karai, you can go to sleep now, it will be a long trip till we get to Neon City," he said and put in the key. The red button on his right handed started flashing and he pressed it, making the vehicle roar to life.
Raven became aware of a roaring engine outside the room window and quickly ran in deeper in to the living room. Running up to the window, she looked down, spotting a motorcycle with two people on it. "Beast Boy!" her mind yelled. "Beast Boy!" she yelled out loud. Seeing the persons below not even wick she quickly pushed off of the glass and bolted out of the room. Running in to the elevator, she slammed the button of the first floor and the doors closed. Small tears appearing in her eyes, she kept repeating the words. "I have to make it…I have to make it…I can't lose him again…" she kept whispering to her self.
That moment the elevator stopped at the first level, and the doors opened. Not wasting a millisecond, Raven flew out of the elevator, and out of the front doors of the hotel.
"Miss how did you get in here!" yelled the man from behind the counter, in her foot steps. Raven ignored him and opened the door, running out side.
As she ran outside, an expression of pure horror and loss crept over her face. She jerked her head in both directions, not finding anybody or anything, except a wide rubber burned line stretching down the street, and a smell of burned rubber in the air. She dropped to her knees, ignoring the pain and the cold of the ground. She let it loose. The crystal mystique tears in her eyes took of running down her pale cheeks like water falls.
"No, Beast Boy, why did you leave me again?" she asked whining and sobbing hard, gruesome tears staining her cheeks.
"BEAST BOY!"
A/N: Well, there you go. This chapter is kind of long and I finished it faster this time. Well enjoy, I think. Oh, and, I LOVE YOU GUYS!
BB/Raven TOGETHER FOR EVER. If you don't support this couple, then GO DO YOUR SELF.
