-1A/N: I have been working off and on for this chapter for quite a while now, but I just finished it moments ago. I just got a burst of inspiration and was able to finish the last few pages over an hour or so. I hope that I can get cracking on the next chapter tonight as well, but that all depends on whether I can secure the muses grace or not. Please review, give me hints about how to make the story better, tell me what you liked, anything. If you liked this one, please check out my other stories on here.

Dark Visions

Leaning back on his right arm and looking to Rondo, Beast Boy felt his interest pique as he went over what was said earlier. "Radeal…..? Both you and the Monster said that word earlier, what's it mean?" Beast Boy said as he felt Raven's steady breathing at his side. "God I love that feeling, that close proximity and feeling her body breathe against mine." Beast Boy said to himself as he let Rondo collect himself before he could speak.

"Radael is old Gwynian," Rondo's voice was gravelly and tired as he answered Beast Boy's question, "Broken down, the meanings are 'ra' (rah), soul, everlasting component of a human/sentient being. 'Da' (day), partner, mate, lover, companion. 'El' (el), forever, eternity, everlasting. All together they come to form the word radael, the meanings are formed like medical terminology. Suffix first, 'el', prefix, 'ra', and root, 'da'. They come together to mean…..eternal soul mate."

Raven felt Beast Boy stiffen beside her, his arm tightening around her back. Raven pushed off of the ground with her right arm and her left hand on Beast Boy's chest, pulling back to look him in the face. An echoing question descended, both of them asking if the other agreed with both the Beast and Rondo. Their eyes locked for a moment and it felt like forever, before they both looked away, embarrassed.

Raven narrowed her eyes as she looked at the ground, trying her best to get a leash around her emotions. She hoped that her face wouldn't be beet red when she and Beast Boy looked at each other again, and that didn't help her calm down any more quickly. She was able to steady her breathing as she glanced back at Beast Boy, and she cringed as she saw the anger she saw on his face. Beast Boy felt disappointment writhe inside of him as both he and Raven glanced away. He felt his blood rush in his ears as his face heated, rushed with emotion that he almost couldn't handle. Maybe she hadn't liked how he'd looked at her….so many questions danced in his mind as the seconds ticked away.

Raven felt sadness sink inside of her, behind her heavily controlled emotions. What if Beast Boy was mad at her for something? Would that change what he said before about caring for her? Was it something she did, something she didn't do? She wanted so badly to settle back down on her spot on his neck and just try to believe everything was all right. As she found herself starting to lay back down on him suddenly he jerked to sitting up, taking her with him.

Rondo was getting up, dragging himself to his feet, and it looked painful too.

"I must hurry, I know that both of you have questions but there just isn't time right now. I must return to my post before the Beast awakens." he said as he began hobbling towards the dam slowly.

"Here dude, let me help you…" Beast Boy said as he slung Rondo's arm over his shoulder, Raven took the other over hers. Together they made good time the short distance to the dam, and Rondo paused leaned against it.

"Now, let me help both of you two…." Rondo said as he first looked to Beast Boy, then to Raven, and then he began is ascent to his place in the dam.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?" both Raven and Beast Boy shouted up at Rondo as he rose slowly above their heads. Puzzled and surprised they looked at each other, and then back up at Rondo. But Raven's eyes hesitated on Beast Boy in that instant as he looked back to Rondo. Something dark passed over his face for a millisecond, shock and an acknowledgement.

"I just do, seriously, I mean it though. Good bye Beast Boy, we will meet again. Good bye Raven, I really hope we meet again as well." Rondo said as he completed his journey straight up and stepped into the dam, resuming his position. With him there the concrete closed up and Beast Boy and Raven were left standing together, both wondering what the hell was going on.

Turning away from the dam and the slumbering Beast, Beast Boy and Raven slowly walked together towards the town. Taking in the beautiful scenery as they went, Beast Boy turned to Raven to ask her a question.

"Did Rondo just beam something into your brain too?" Beast Boy asked as her eyes met his, and his blood pressure spiked while his heart raced. Raven nodded and felt her cheeks heat as what he said echoed in her head, was it even possible?

"What'd he tell you Beast Boy?" Raven asked. Beast Boy's face fell to look at the ground for a moment. Then he overcame his emotions and just focused on the good ones. His grimace replaced by a blush he looked to Raven, feeling almost too shy to speak. Finally Beast Boy decided if he could fight with that horrible monster, he could answer a simple question.

"He told me that you weren't mad at me…..what did he tell you?" Beast Boy said as he slid an arm around her waist, looking at her as she turned away from him to look at the ground. The rush of emotion he felt was nearly unparalleled by anything he'd ever experienced as he simply slid that arm around her. Fear was part of, but not all that fueled the fire that burned beneath his cheeks as a deep blush rose under his eyes.

Raven turned her head away from Beast Boy to hide her blush as she heard his question and felt his arm around her. She was going to answer looking at the ground as she felt his soft fingers wrap around her chin and gently turn her gaze upon his face. She saw the blush that burned under his eyes, but that was nearly invisible next to the light that shone in them as they gazed at her.

"There is absolutely no way that looking into Beast Boy's eyes right now is giving me this rush…" Raven thought to herself as she tried with all her might to pull her eyes from Beast Boy's. But she couldn't, she didn't want to. "This can't be happening. It just can't. Something bad has to happen. Something has to explode, something go wrong. That's just how it works, how it's always worked." Raven thought to herself in disbelief as she found herself helpless before that emerald gaze.

"So, what'd he tell you Raven?" Beast Boy said as he very slowly leaned closer to Raven. He felt as though his heart would burst with fear and ecstasy any second, and for the first time in his life he found the courage through Rondo's words, to pursue his feelings. But courage wasn't the only thing he found there, it was a strength, the strength found in absolutes. The strength found in destiny.

"Just like he told you, he told me you weren't mad at me either…." Raven said as she felt the hand which had held her chin slowly caress its way over the side of her face, and then running its fingers through her hair slowly. "Which I can see is true…hehe" she said, almost alarmed by how closely she had come to almost purring her words. She tried to fight how much she loved feeling his hand in her hair, fingers caressing her scalp, but there was no way she could win.

"Well, he told me something else too, and I'll tell you that in a second. But first, I want to sing you a song, I think you'd like it." she heard Beast Boy say as she felt with her eyes closed, her head being softly pulled to his right shoulder. She deeply breathed in his scent and knew she should fight all of these feelings, unquestionably. But she also knew that it had been so, so long since anyone had touched her like this, and she knew she wouldn't win if she did try to fight it.

"Well, the song is by Breaking Benjamin, and it's on the album, Phobia." Beast Boy said as he continued to caress her scalp and run his fingers through her hair with his right hand. With his left he softly rubbed her back through the leotard she was wearing, his arm around her back underneath her cape. As he rubbed her back he was amazed at how much he enjoyed it, he just loved feeling her body under his fingertips.

"And with no further ado, I present Beast Boy sings Evil Angel! Hehe…" Beast Boy said with a fake announcer's voice as he playfully nibbled on Raven's ear with his lips as he spoke. He felt her squirm as warm shivers went down her spine at his lip's touch, and he couldn't help but smile widely thinking about how much he was loving this.

"Hold it together, birds of a feather, nothing but lies and crooked wings." he sung to her as his lips danced on her ear. She nuzzled his neck as she smiled, feeling better than she had in a long time in his arms with his beautiful voice filling her ears…..not to mention the shivers down her spine from his lips! "I have the answer, spreading the cancer; you are the faith inside me….

No….don't….leave me to die here…." Beast Boy said as he tightened his arms around Raven, pulling her closer to himself as he sung more. "Help me survive here…..alone …..Don't…. remember…. remember….! Put me to sleep, Evil Angel! Open your wings, Evil angel!" he said as Raven felt her arms begin to tighten around him, hugging him back as his voice began to get more and more emotional. She felt her hands begin caressing his back as he sang, but she knew she enjoyed it too much to even try to stop as he continued.

"Ah….. I'm a believer, nothing could be worse, all these imaginary friends. Hiding betrayal, driving the nail….hoping to find a savior. No….don't….leave me to die here….. Help me survive here. Alone…..don't….surrender…surrender! Put me to sleep, Evil Angel……Open your wings, Evil Angel…..oh…..fly over me Evil Angel……why can't I breath? Evil Angel……." Beast Boy finished singing, and Raven could tell he was calming down.

"I don't know why that song gets to me, Rae. I think it's just because it reminds me so much of you. Hehe, could you do me a favor, Raven?" Beast Boy's voice asked in her ear, a smile obviously on his lips from his voice. She felt a smile rise on her lips too as his nibbled on her ear ever so slightly…..softly. Again Raven found herself almost purring as he asked the question, she'd heard that tone of voice but it wasn't usually directed at her. It wasn't every day that someone sounded so contented with life as they held her in their arms and nibbled on her ear.

"I guess I could, but it'll cost ya!" Raven teased as she kept her face buried in his neck. She had tried to get back her self-control, but this was just too much.

"Could you open your wings for me, beautiful Evil Angel? I want you to fly over me, amazing Evil Angel…..hehe, I can tell you why I can't breathe, wanna know?" Beast Boy asked as he teased her ear with his lips, nibbling on it more.

"Mmmmhmmm…." Raven said as she nibbled on Beast Boy's neck with her lips, unable to stop herself. It just felt like what she should be doing, what she wanted to do….and it also just sort of happened on its own. Raven could tell that her feelings were ruling her for the first time in her life. Without the excuse of her powers and the necessity to maintain control, she found herself becoming lost in her emotions.

"I don't know why you hate my breath being in my chest," Beast Boy whispered with a little wicked lilt in his voice, "because you keep stealing it. God, it seems like no matter what I do, I just can't keep you from stealing it…and, ya know the real kicker of it?" He asked as he snuggled his face into her neck, with his hands still moving on her body and through her hair.

"What's that?" Raven asked, feeling shivers dancing through her body, and emotions surging through her mind. It was almost like everything she was feeling was being concentrating, just where her neck and chest met. She could feel it reach from there up through her neck and make it feel different to talk, like she was so content that she didn't really need to speak. That same feeling was also reaching up behind her eyes, almost forcing them to close. Almost like she was too happy to really need to see anything, just feel.

"You take it without even trying!" Beast Boy said indignantly, but she could still hear the huge smile that touched his lips. "Just by being you, you take it away. Every day you're beautiful and you never wear make-up, you're just an object of beauty. That's why I care for you so much Raven…..when I look at you, it just fits. It just feels so good to look at you, speak with you….caress you….hehe" He said sweetly as his hand pulled from her hair to softly touch her face.

"So, what'll this cost me? What can I do for ya Rae?" Beast Boy teasingly asked as he kept embracing her. Raven really didn't know what she meant when she said that earlier….she had no idea what she should ask for!

"I want…. I want you to surprise me. Do something that I'll like when I'm not expecting it….just keep in mind if I don't like it I will destroy you!" Raven heard herself say, giggling as Beast Boy started to laugh too.

"Haha, well I guess that doesn't put any pressure on me, hehe. We'll see….wait a second! You. Just. Giggled." Beast Boy said with a mock horrified tone in his voice. Beast Boy pushed Raven away, grabbing her by the shoulders so he could look her in the face. "I am so proud Raven!" he said as tears came to his eyes, "You giggled! All on your own! While talking about destroying me!"Beast Boy exclaimed, "That makes me feel so special!" he said as he wiped fake tears from his eyes.

"Don't push your luck, bub!" Raven said as her eyes narrowed playfully, "I might just decide to not wait and watch you fail to pleasantly surprise me and destroy you now!"

"Ouch Rae, ouch," Beast Boy said, playing along, "here I thought everything was going swimmingly and suddenly, a threat of destruction!" Beast Boy couldn't help but chuckle at Raven's anger….he thought she was joking. Hopefully he wasn't wrong. For his sake and safety…..

"Oh, a few minutes ago you said Rondo also told you something else, and you'd tell me later. Well now looks like later, so what was it?" Raven said, feeling that strange concentration of emotion in her chest reaching up and into her head, making it feel….strange. It was almost like her mind was on fire with quivering excitement as she waited for him to reply, but she had no idea why.

"He did tell me that you weren't angry with me, which I'm very glad was true." Beast Boy said as he slowly pulled Raven closer from arms length. "He also told me that this is all a dream, and you won't really remember this when you wake up." Beast Boy went on as he wrapped his arms around her.

Beast Boy moved his hands to her face, cradling it in their embrace as he studied her. She looked so beautiful as the wind slowly and gently tossed her black hair about her.

"You are the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen Raven, you really are. I've never heard of visual intoxication, but that's what you are. That's the only way that I can explain it, when I look at you…..it just feels good! But to feel you…." he said as he moved his right hand to her lower back and his left through her hair to grasp the back of her head. Lightly pulling her towards him so their faces touched and rubbed against each other as he leaned to put his lips on her cheek, then he whispered in her ear.

"…to touch you…….goes so much further than just looking, but they both do that to me. I can't even describe it, it's just like that's what I was meant to do my whole life."

Raven felt her lips part to say something, but no breath came.

"I……I……" Raven heard herself say, but what would she say if she could speak? She had no idea, but that didn't stop her struggle to get the words out anyway. "I don't know if I'm ready for this yet Beast Boy…..I really care for you…..but I don't know……" she said, feeling the words fall from her lips, not even knowing she was going to say them before they came.

"Yeah…..I know, and I understand that completely….." Beast Boy said as he pulled away from her slowly. Still with his hand on the back of his head, and with his other on her back moving to her hip, he looked her in the eyes. "…..I just wanted you to hear that, I needed you to understand how I feel." he said, smiling deeply at her….tears tracing a path down his green cheeks, running down into his smile as he spoke.

"Beast Boy…. You knew? What? Don't cry….I…" she said as she saw his tears, but Beast Boy cut her off mid sentence.

"I just needed you to know that I think you're amazing…..beautiful…..and worthy of nothing less than the best anyone has to offer…." He went on, tears continuing to stream down his face, smile unfaltering. "I have so much that I want to tell you, so many things that I need to say…..but time is so short. Things are on a set course for now, but a moment will come when you will know. You'll know for sure what's been going on, then it will all be over, I promise."

"Beast Boy….what are you talking about?" Raven asked, her confusion mounting as she began to feel a pull, like her entire body was magnetized and she was being pulled away from Beast Boy. The world was also fading away, going black around them but they could still see each other.

"I'm so sorry I can't explain more, but time is short, in more ways than one……Goodbye Raven." Beast Boy said as he too was pulled from Raven, weakly at first, but with increasing strength every second.

Raven couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Beast Boy sounded weird as he said goodbye. That's not how you say good bye for a day, a week, even a month. He was saying good bye for much longer than that. As they slid further apart, they grasped hands, holding on for a moment. At the exact moment their fingers touched Raven realized exactly what he meant, all of it in a way. Visions danced in front of her eyes, Beast Boy bleeding on the ground with a jagged wound in his chest, burned up to his neck…..an evil laugh so loud in her ears that she thought they'd bleed……her hands covered with blood……the haggard face of an old warrior in firelight…..a heavily bejeweled dagger plunging deep into the chest of a completely silhouetted person, an inhuman scream…..

Suddenly her visions were severed as she and Beast Boy were pulled away from each other into the surrounding darkness.

Beast Boy heard her scream at the top of her voice, blood curdling….scream his name as her face disappeared into the black. And there, alone, falling in the dark, he heard Rondo's voice echo through his mind. "Your destiny is immovable, your fate is set. You will die for Raven, your death will insure….nothing…….make your peace." He had been honest earlier when he had said what Rondo had told him, just hadn't told her everything that Rondo had said.

Raven woke up with a scream in her throat but was able to bite it off before it hit her lips and her powers boiled over and destroyed the tower. Sitting up in bed she tried to remember her dream, tried much harder than she ever had before. She felt that it was so, so important that she remember, but the meaning just got further and further from her as each moment passed.

Her right hand felt warm for some reason, where she wasn't laying that night was warm, like she hadn't been alone all night. She decided to lay down and try to calm down and get some more rest. As she fell asleep, just as her conscious mind gave way to her unconscious an image of Beast Boy hovered inside her eyelids. As she fell deeper and deeper into the murky depths of sleep, she said six words….

"No Beast Boy…..don't say goodbye…."
