Chapter Nine
Beast Boy sat next to Raven's bed. Cyborg was checking her vitals. Robin sighed with relief that everything was over. Starfire was thanking Rama.
The Titans had been fighting Durga with all they could, but still couldn't beat her. It wasn't until Rama had come and helped that they finally took down Durga, who now remained in prison with other crooks and villains. Then they had all returned home, they all had their own wounds, but nothing that needed medical attention. They were all worried about Raven. They wouldn't stop worring until she was up and walking around and yelling at Beast Boy again.
As for Rama, the Titans were truly grateful. They were still angry for leading them to believe Raven was missing, but they were too happy that Raven was back to really be that mad. Besides he was only trying to do a good thing.
Raven woke up later that day. She still felt weak, but was safe and would make a full recovery. The Titans crowded around her and welcomed her home.
"It's good to be back home," Raven said smiling at her friends.
Rama stepped forward
Raven looked at him. He had a cut on his cheek and several bruises.
"Thank you." Raven said softly. "For everything."
Rama nodded.
"Who lied?" Robin asked suddenly.
"What?" Rama replied confused.
"When we each brought you our items, you said one of us lied. Were you the one who lied?" Robin explained further.
One of the Titans went rigid.
"Oh, right. Well I'm not sure that matters." Rama pushed it aside.
The Titans (except one) looked at each other. "Yes it does." They all said.
"Alright, it was the green fellow." The Titans all turned and glared at Beast Boy. Raven looked at Rama with a confused look on her face. She hadn't seen that part. She was…busy.
Rama quickly whispered what had happened into her ear and she glared at Beast Boy as well.
"Why did you lie!?" Starfire asked, eyes glowing a bright green.
"Well, um… see, I…" Beast Boy stuttered.
"I'm just not important enough to you!" Raven said, her eyes glowing white.
"NO… it's just… embarrassing…" Beast Boy said softly.
Now the Titans were interested.
"What is it?" Cyborg asked. A smile on his face.
"Nothing," Beast Boy quickly said, his cheeks burning red.
"Beast Boy," Raven said softly. "If you don't show me what it is, I will tear apart your room, force feed you meat, and you will wish you had shown me!"
Beast Boy went white, quite literally.
"I just have to show you?" Beast Boy asked timidly.
Raven nodded, the others protested. Rama sat back enjoying the squabble.
"And if you show me, I promise to protect you from their threats. Deal?" Raven whispered in his ear.
Beast Boy pondered for a moment. "Deal!" Beast Boy exclaimed putting his hand in her face. Raven shook it and he ran out of the room.
The other Titans, and Rama slowly and sadly left the room with some persuasion from Raven. A few minutes later Beast Boy peaked his head from outside the door. He carefully walked in, hands behind his back, hiding whatever item it was he had.
"Well," Raven started. " Let's see it."
Beast Boy's face flushed.
"Well?"
"Uh… you uh… have to promise me something first." Beast Boy said quietly, face turned away, still red.
"What?" Raven asked glumly.
"You have to promise not to get angry…" Beast Boy nearly whispered.
Raven thought for a moment. "I don't know. Is it something that I would have to get angry at?"
"I don't know." Beast Boy replied. "Just promise."
"Fine, I promise not to get angry." Raven said already edging towards anger.
Beast Boy took a deep breath and let it out. He brought his hands forward revealing a box.
Raven took it cautiously. "A box?"
It was a small tin box. Something that would be easily lost in Beast Boy's room.
"It's what's inside the box…" Beast Boy said sheepishly.
Raven looked at it curiously and opened it softly. Inside was a single picture. It was of her. She was smiling warmly and actually looked beautiful.
Raven gave him a quizzical glance. She had been expecting a game, an old toy, something Beast Boyish. Not a picture of herself.
"I've only seen you smile three times. This was the only time I had a camera." Beast Boy explained.
"I don't remember you taking a picture."
"I was very sneaky."
Raven looked at it a few minutes longer. Beast Boy was starting to worry. She wasn't angry or anything. She was just looking at the picture.
And then she smiled.
Beast Boy cringed in fear.
"What are you afraid of?" Raven asked noticing his cringing.
"You don't usually smile unless your planning something diabolically evil and most definitively scarring to my life." Beast Boy said hurriedly.
"I'm smiling because this is very…sweet."
Beast Boy uncringed and looked at her. "Really? I thought you would be angry and tear my head off-"
"Beast Boy?"
"Yes?" Beast Boy squeaked.
"Why me?"
Beast Boy blushed. He didn't speak.
Raven rolled her eyes and threw the hospital blanket off her.
"What are you doing?" Beast Boy asked frantically.
Raven didn't reply. She swung her feet over the side of the bed and pushed herself off the bed. She stood shakily on her feet.
"What are you-"
She kissed him lightly on his lips.
"See, it wasn't that hard." She said blushing deeply.
"Can you do that again?" Beast Boy asked.
"No." Raven replied. Face back to being unreadable. She sat back down on the bed.
"Then why?"
"Because I wanted to." Raven replied.
Beast Boy looked at her quizzically. "Girls are confusing."
"You didn't know that?"
Beast Boy sighed.
"Can I at least have my picture back?"
"No."
"Why!?!"
"Blackmail."
"Give it back Raven." Beast Boy warned already trying to get it.
Raven held it out of his reach and used her powers to keep it just a little higher than he could reach. He jumped after it and Raven laughed. So our tale ends with Raven having one more thing to blackmail Beast Boy with, a new relationship, and toothpaste.
The toothpaste came in when Beast Boy convinced Raven to try a little Tofu.
Hope you liked it. This may sadly be my last story for a while. I have a lot of school and other writing unrelated to FanFiction, I will try to write again soon, but I can't make any promises. Thank you for reading. It means a lot to me. Until we meet again! ~ ReadingRaven019
