here is chapter 3,

hope you enjoy

as usual i don't own anything

He was flying backwards, he knew that much. That, and his chest hurt. badly. at least he thought he hurt badly until he hit the light pole half a block away from where he was standing before. That's what i get for getting distracted. again. he thought as he was shaking his head trying to get the world to stop spinning. As soon as he could see clearly, he knew they were all in trouble. Cyborg, Robin and Starfire were in those stupid force-bubbles. Cyborg was busy blasting away at it with his cannon, Starfire was trying to slice through it with her eye lasers, and Robin was hitting it with his bo-staff. Raven was the only one still in the fight, and it wasn't looking good.

Beast Boy knew she wouldn't be able to hold against him by herself forever, so even though he still couldn't hear, he changed into a raptor and launched himself straight towards this twig of an idiot, even though he could hardly breathe through the pain in his chest from that last hit he took. He didn't care. he knew she was in trouble, and would do whatever it took to keep her safe….. Even if she did hate him.

As he was about to clamp his jaws down on the chest plate of the power-suit, he was blasted on the side of the head with a light encased fist, throwing his back against the building, and slamming his head against something hard for the umpteenth time today. I know everybody says there isn't much up there, but it still hurts! He thought as he felt a trickle of blood down the back of his head. And there is no way i'm letting her heal me after this, it would cause her pain, and i won't do that to her. she knows that the only way shes healing me anymore, is if i'm out cold, and can't object. i mean, why didn't she ever tell us that she takes the pain into herself when she heals us? That's just rude. he was getting lost in his own thoughts again, when a cry of anguish brought him back to reality.

what he saw scared him to death. Dr. light had blinded Rae with a flash bang and was powering up his suit to deal a death blow to her. Oh hell no! he thought as he ran to try and distract the villain long enough for his Rae-Rae to recover. just as he was drawing close to his target, he realized there was no time to make it all they way there before the villain discharged enough energy to fry a full blooded demon, let alone his half-blooded demon. did i really just think of her as mine? Which would probably be one of his last coherent thoughts for awhile, as he saw the beam of pure energy flying straight at his chest. this is gonna hurt…...again. that was the exact moment he sensed something else coming towards him from the exact opposite direction. He knew what it was as soon as it was unleashed. he also knew that there was no way for him to get out of the way of either beam of energy, both light and dark, before they hit him. at least she's safe. he thought as both beams struck at the same instant from opposite sides of his body, his chest taking another hit from Dr. Light, and his spine taking a direct hit from Raven's dark energy. the last thing he heard (and was amazed that some of his hearing was back) and felt inside of his mind was Raven screaming

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" full of sorrow and pain, but he couldn't comfort her, as the black void of his mind swallowed him whole. i love you Rae, please don't be mad. he had known for a long time how he felt about her, but until that moment he didn't believe it himself, until that moment, he thought it only a crush, until that moment, he thought he was not worthy of her. until that moment he thought he could never love anybody. and in that moment, he knew, he didn't stand a chance of hiding it anymore.

I know its not much, but my next updates will be quite i bit longer, i was planning on having this in the last chapter, but it was getting too long. i have the whole story planned out, i just have to find the time to get it all down. So if you are willing to stick with me through to the end, and i mean the end of the series, i have two sequels planned, so dont hate me at the end of this one. and no im not even close to being done with this one. thanks everybody for reading this and i hope you are enjoying it.
