"Dude! I think Rae is going kill herself." Beast Boy said almost yelling at the top of his shrill voice.
"What?" Cyborg yawned sitting up from his Frankensteinish bed (I couldn't think of a name). He looks at arm, which held the time 4:11 AM. "Man it is four in the morning you think it can wait?"
"No! Aren't you even listening! Raven is probably going to kill herself." Beast Boy said, waving his arms in the air as if he were trying to fly, even if he could morph into a bird, which what it seemed like he was doing.
"How do you know BB? Did she tell you or did you sneak in her room again?" Cyborg asked, yawning again. "Let me guess you did the second thing didn't you?"
"I had too. Her room was like World War III as I walked in it, man. Everything was destroyed! Except her bed and a dresser, but that's not the point. She seemed more down than when that jerk broke her heart, she was talking about life and death as if Trigon has returned…then she said," Beast Boy repeated the phrase Raven had muttered. "If that's not proof I don't know what is?!"
"Raven has been under a lot of stress man. Maybe it is because the lack of fighting around here. I don't know man, but Raven is alright, she'll get over. She has done it tons BB, especially when you contribute."
Beast Boy felt his face grew warmer. "This isn't one of my jokes, this is serious. Maybe Raven isn't going to kill herself now…but when? Dude, if we can help her now we may save her from the most horrible decision of her life!"
"Listen BB. If this get out of hand and Raven isn't going end her life, not only she'll be pissed when we dig into her privacy, but she'll kill you for spying on her making false statements that'll make things more complex than they are…and maybe man that'll drive her over the edge." Cyborg said. Beast Boy was completely shocked as if he were shot from the sky, here he was giving warning about their friend's coming death and everyone is blowing him off.
"I think I should talk to her." Beast Boy whispered to himself, feeling shivers down his skin about the whole thing.
"You should and get some rest…Robin's training is going to be a bore in the afternoon." Cyborg suggested and yawned once more as Beast Boy left his room. As the door closed Cyborg felt that same shiver on what parts of his skin he had left, even though he denied Beast Boy's claim, he couldn't help but wonder if he will be right.
"God I hope not." Cyborg said into the darkness as he tried to sleep again, only to have the trouble doing so…
Early in morning, while every Titan was wondering around the kitchen and dining area, eating breakfast, socializing were laughter filled the room, with everything happy as can be all except for Beast Boy and Raven weren't around…Even though Cyborg hoped for things to be right, only that one doubt seemed to be a tumor in the happiness of the day.
Of Course, every Titan, except for Cyborg, seemed to be occupied with something else rather than wonder about their strange gothic member and the cheerful boy without a care for the world…oh how they are wrong.
Only when Terra entered, she immediately wanted to know where Beast Boy was, even after the betrayal, she hoped she could rekindle their shatter romance together. But Beast Boy told her off, but said "…only now were friends. Get over it Terra, I can't love someone you used me or her friends." It broke her heart, but it didn't mean she will try to win his heart back, only now to discover his eyes had turned to the one person she despised the most even if she did grant her a second life…Raven. The word seemed to be a rotten taste that displeads Terra every time she heard it, said it, and even thought of it.
It doesn't mean, Terra was nice… she tired to get Raven up for breakfast only to hear nothing coming from the room. Then she tried to wake Beast Boy up for breakfast…only answer she got was him muttering something about life and death…"He's been hanging around Raven way to long." Terra thought while grabbing some scrabbled eggs and some orange juice and took a sit at the counter to watching Cyborg and Hot Shot play some dumb racing game that Cyborg was winning…as usual.
At the other side of the room were Robin and Starfire sat and talked. Ever since Tokyo, their relationship has sky rocketed to the point that Star's body was experiencing new things (to note I don't write any sex stories so don't bother asking). And to private discussions, which Robin has been explain to the point of not actually demonstrate it (by that I mean sexual intercourse). But today Starfire seemed a bit worried about Raven, then when she had finally realized that Beast Boy wasn't here also she began to worry…
"I hope friends Beast Boy and Raven are alright." Starfire said. "I haven't seen them at all since we last talked to Raven."
"I have been worried too Star, but Raven likes her privacy and we can't change that. As of Beast Boy, I have no clue what is eating him." Robin said. Then of the corner of his eye he on the TV screen he saw Cyborg's racer getting smashed into the wall, destroying it where Hot Spot's racer wins the round. Cyborg dropped the controller obviously shacking; his face looked grimmer than before. In Cyborg's mind, warning bells began to ring.
"It is about time!" He yelled, leaping to his feet and dancing around the room completely ignorant of what has occurred to Cyborg, then finally realizing what was happening.
"Hey, Cy. you okay man?" Terra asked, and then suddenly Cyborg got up turned his attention to the obviously curious team mates.
"Yeah man, you okay." Hot Spot asked.
"Earlier this morning, Beast Boy came into my room." Cyborg said. "He was rambling about Raven thinking of suicide but I thought he was crazy so I just told him to talk to Raven and finally it hit me…maybe Raven was trying to kill herself yesterday."
"Suicide?" Starfire asked innocently. Robin, was behind her to explain to her what it meant. Once done, Star's face grew pale and her eyes seemed to show worry. Then it came that maybe…
"Come on, guys!" Terra said. "If Raven wanted to kill herself she probably should've done it before her father came, that way she could've saved you guys one less pointless battle." Everyone in the room, even Jericho and Argent glanced at her angered and disappointed.
"Watch what you say Terra. Raven granted you a second life of repentance and true honor, and saying those things aren't easy to forgive…and if Raven dies or hurts herself in any way Terra, you are to be part of the blame." Robin said, his face red with both anger at low Terra words and the guiltiness feeling if Raven does act to suicide it may his fault to. "What else did Beast Boy said?"
"Well, he recited this saying Raven apparently said to herself and this might what've caused Beast Boy's fears." Cyborg then touched a button on his arm that contained a recording that he happened to record of Beast Boy's conversation. (Cyborg seems to have a lot of gadgets in that arm of his doesn't he?)
Immediately Beast Boy's shrill voice came to the speaker, "…then she said, 'Another day ends, another begins…a chance to tell him I love him, to make him worth my life, if to be meaningful…if not to make him laugh and cry…knowing I am to die. Life is precious, life is short…Death is eternal, death is all …death is inevitable…only fools seek to cheat it…to others it is mercy…and beautiful it will be.'" There the recording ended.
The room was silent…only Starfire's coming sobs filled the room. Even Terra seemed to be silenced by Raven's words spoken through Beast Boy. Everything seemed to stop, everything seemed to make sense. Minutes ago the Titans seemed to be ignorant of the situation in Raven's life…not knowing the growing depression in her heart, feeling the loneliness that everyone thought it was just a bad day to Raven…not knowing that her past has seeping through the wounds it gave her those years ago…only to fear Raven, there friend was about to do something that will bring down everything that they created together as one team, as one family…
Just before Cyborg's talk to the other teammates…Beast Boy walked cautiously to Raven's room. With each step brought him closer to the onslaught Raven could give him if he confessed to what he eavesdropped on or the grim reality the minute she didn't answer her he'll enter, only to see Raven could be lying there covered in her own blood with some kind of instrument that brought her death. The thought brought shivers of fear of the worst and hope that he wasn't too late.
Against the only thing that stood in the way from Beast Boy's worst nightmare or just over exaggeration of thought…Raven's door stared back at Beast Boy as if it were taunting him saying, "Take a peek I dare you." Then Beast Boy gently knocked…loud enough for Raven to hear but not the others. For a moment there was silence…he knocked again…silence…if Raven doesn't answer on this third knock Beast Boy will break down her door…"Oh God please…" Beast Boy thought then his fist knocked on her door again…silence.
Holding his breath, Beast Boy felt the sweat coming from his forehead, dripping down to the tip of his nose and falling helplessly to the floor. Exhaling…Beast Boy transformed in a gorilla…holding his fist against the door than recoiling it back ready to reveal the horrors…
The door hissed opened where Raven stood gazing at a green gorilla about to hit her. Once the gorilla realized it he dropped his fist and returned to his normal form, where Beast Boy without realizing it went over and gave her the most romantic hug he could muster…lifting Raven off her feet and again with him thinking (what a shock!) gave Raven the most passionate kiss you could see on any romance movie…
Raven's faced blushed three shades of red, without her hood on there was no way she could hide, both shocked and humiliated "At least no ones around." Raven thought when Beast Boy put her back on his feet. His face too equally blushed, giving off a darkish green blush. Raven swore he saw tears run down his face and a sniffle or two.
"Beast Boy…?" Raven managed to saw, feeling her face glow again.
"Raven I am so relieved your alive!" Beast Boy said tempted to hug her again.
"What do you mean?" Raven asked.
"I thought you were going to do suicide." Beast Boy replied.
"Suicide? What makes you think I was going to kill myself?" Raven said, then remembering glancing at her photos on her bed seeing a spider crawling under one, by the mood she was in…she didn't of it much, then it occurred to her… "You were in my room last night?" Beast Boy nodded. Raven raised her hand and the black magic appeared over it and she pointed at Beast Boy…kiss or not…Beast Boy was dead. "Why?"
"After what Terra said to you…and after what I replied to, I felt guilt that I said the wrong thing and probably made you think of death. Then after the crash…I began to fear maybe you were trying someway to hurt yourself. I was worried for you Raven…truly if it meant dying to save you." Beast Boy said, feeling the tears falling from his eyes, he was embarrassed that he was crying in front of Raven…but he was glad he wrong…again.
Raven immediately suppressed her anger that her magic disappeared from her hand, then she realized that little saying he must've heard could have brought the worst fear in him. The more she thought about it, it'll be wrong to punish him for caring…and after Beast Boy's little romantic episode…she gently went over and hugged him the same way after Malchior was defeated…the way he comforted her after it…now again she was comforted by him and the tears he showed for it.
"I am sorry I put through that, that night must have been a nightmare." Raven said. Feeling Beast Boy grasp made her feel more pity in herself that all this time, this funny little green changeling would stop and see the pains in her life….was willing to sacrifice a mistake that could've gotten him in trouble before just to see all is well. "I thought about it Beast Boy. How easily I could've done it. How easy it would've been to end my pain and loneliness and just leave this world. Until I remembered that one piece of advice I heard when I was little gave me the excuse to not…and…that penny gave me hope for a bright tomorrow."
"You mean about life and death?" Beast Boy said in the embrace.
"Yes." Raven replied.
"Where did you hear it?" Beast Boy asked.
"I…"Raven began when the alarm went off. Red lights brighten the room. They both immediately broke their fragile embrace. And just as they were about go down the hall, Raven gave Beast Boy a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for caring."
"Raven there is something I need to tell you…I lo" Beast Boy began before the hall way seemed to explode with a crash and a force that knocked them to their backs. Alarm still wailed when Beast Boy saw Raven was unconscious, a big massive cut down her forehead, gushing with blood, her face blackened.
Beast Boy barley could move his body, pain ripped through his rips, arms and face. Breathing seemed to hurt and he as he coughed he glanced around to see debris everywhere from the walls and what remained of Raven's doorway…then shadows appeared…Beast Boy hopped it was one of the gang but no so…
The figure dressed was in black shrouds, his face showed a human skull, where the blackened eye sockets show in evil look where the teeth showed it were smiling. Besides dressed the figure wore stainless steel armor on his torso and shoulder, with the "V" shaped, with a sword down the middle engraved into the chest. He carried a long curved saber sword in his hand as he made his way to the hurt Beast Boy and unconscious Raven…then another figure appeared, same as before dark and evil, then another…three of them came swords drawn till one of pointed to where they are, talking in some sort of language Beast Boy couldn't place.
Knowing Beast Boy was dead if he tried to fight, while wounded, or he is dead if he laid there…only one choice…He managed to morph into a rat where he quickly hide underneath some debris till he saw Raven vulnerable…as fast as Beast Boy's rat could carry, he made his way to Raven. Seeing Raven was out cold Beast Boy felt no way he could wake before those men came, instead he morphed into a small tick and squeezed himself into Raven's shoe, trying not to bite her, making what the situation was. (He was uncomfortable yes, but safe)
One of the shrouded men checked if Raven was dead, when felt her pulse he was most satisfied…"She's the one, boys. And she still is alive." He said in ghostly gasp. The other man grabbed Raven by the collar and heaved her over his shoulder while the other watched the other move forward as he guarded them.
While Beast Boy was cramped in Raven's shoe, feeling mobile… what he had feared before was nothing more than a nervous shiver…not knowing was going to happen to Raven or himself was truly petrifying. Slowly as this new enemies move…Beast Boy hoped the best for his friends…if not himself…
