A/N: I only got a few reviews but that's ok. I'm doing this for my own entertainment, not to live off reviews. I hope those who read and don't review like this chapter. This is only my second extended story, so feel free to criticize.

Disclaimer: Sadly, the only cartoon I own is a cartoon of my own creation. Anyone wanna trade MidNyte for Teen Titans? Eh? Eh?

IMPORTANT: Just to let you know, each chapter will be titled with a song you REALLY should listen to while reading said chapter. It is the song that inspired the chapter, most times, because my writing is inspired by music.

"Raven? Raven?" a soft voice called to her. She looked up to see Beast Boy's smiling face looking down upon her. "Raven, you know what time it is," he started softly, leaning down to press his lips against hers. His tongue slid past her lips as his hands began roaming. She moaned lightly, and ran her hands up his body. Suddenly, water began filling her mouth and as she tried to breath she could only choke on water that began running through her lungs. Beast Boy disappeared and she was surrounded by brilliantly shining light. Everything was getting darker as she felt life slipping from her grasp.

She attempted to save her life by kicking off solid ground beneath her, but she could feel nothing beneath her. Everything soon went black. "Raven? Raven? Raven, c'mon, it's ok. Wake up!" Beast Boy's voice called. "Raven, you need to help me!" he called eagerly. "Wake up!" Raven thrashed in the water she could still feel around herself, but couldn't breath. Her lungs were in a vise that she could not escape. With on last gasp for breath she flung her body upwards and her eyes snapped open as she looked to the Titans around her.

"What happened?" she asked them, her chest rising and falling as she attempted to calm herself from the vivid nightmare. "What time is it?" It was then that she realized that the Titan she had been talking to last night, commonly known as Beast Boy, was no where to be seen. It did not surprise her, for he had been reclusive lately, but she was worried.

"It's almost three, Raven," Robin announced worriedly. "We decided to let you sleep because you looked a bit out of sorts, but it's getting late and we were getting worried." They were getting worried because she slept late? "Wait...where's Beast Boy?" she asked

"That is what we were the 'worried' about," Starfire told her, her hands clasped in front of her. "Please, you have not seen Beast Boy lately, have you?"

"I saw him last night...why?" Raven asked.

"He is not...here. We have looked about the tower, and he is no where to be seen. And Cyborg has reported his car of the back-up is missing," Starfire informed her. "We suspect he took the car and stayed out all night, forgetting to call like last time." And it was true; there had been a last time.

"He did take the car," Raven affirmed. "I talked to him last night, but he told me he was just going to take a drive and come right back. He wanted to calm his nerves or something. I'm sure he'd be back by now. Cyborg, can you get a track on the car?" Raven asked her bulky teammate.

"I have a global positioning satellite receiver in the car, but it won't pick up the signal. It seems to be malfunctioning or something," Cyborg told her. "His communicator's offline, and his cell-phone's gone dead. We can't find the little grass stain."

Raven thought for a moment. "There's nothing you can do besides that to find him? There isn't-say-a way to track him, personally?"

Robin nodded his head. "Our tracking device on him was his communicator. If that's offline, we have no track on him. We called the Jump City Police and told them the description of the car. They're keeping their eyes peeled for it, but so far we haven't heard anything."

Raven thought for a moment. "So I guess this means patrolling the city the rest of the day to find him?" Raven asked, already predicting her fate.

"You guessed it," Robin affirmed.

Raven did NOT like this. She currently stood on the roof of some random building, overlooking one of the main streets of Jump City. Ever since she woke up and talked to the Titans, they had been patrolling the city to find their lost comrade. If he was just out goofing off, Raven was going to shoot him.

She sat on the edge of the roof and dangled her legs, sighing wistfully. She looked out upon all the happy people, the couples, the friends, the complete strangers, all passing each other on the side walks without a care for the other. It must be amazing to be a normal person. Raven could relate to what Beast Boy said the previous night.

And then her mind drifted to the kiss. No, it had not been the perfect kiss. It had been short, chaste, and a simple peck. His hand had cupped her neck for merely a few moments before he pulled back. Raven imagined his hand was still there and sighed in contentment.

WHOA.

Raven, get a grip on yourself. She shook her head clear of the thoughts that began to invade her mind. She did not need to distract herself with petty thoughts of a simple kiss she had shared with her teammate. The kiss had merely been a way to show her how much he cared. His caring was platonic, and nothing more. He had said that many times. Well, maybe not said it, but he had shown her in inadvertent ways.

"I will have no fear as long as you are with me," Raven sang softly and sadly, watching the people below. She inwardly snorted. "But you're not with me. I guess we really are just chasing daydreams." There was an extended silence. "BB, you better get your green butt back here. I miss ya, already, squirt." She still called him squirt though he was now taller than her.

Raven continued to watch the people below, until she heard an alarm go off. She looked below to see a blur of red and black running from a nearby jewelry store, holding a large bulging sack. "Red X," Raven pronounced through gritted teeth. She pulled out her communicator and clearly spoke into it. "Red X. Corner of Main and Hibiscus. Jewelry store. Heading Southwest. Requesting back-up!"

With that, she flew off the building and began towards the street at a downward spiral. People gasped as they saw, and a small circle cleared as Raven soon pulled her body up so she was flying in the direction of Red X. A few people took notice and shouted things like "Yea!" or "Go!". Raven smirked to herself. Sometimes being a hero was rewarding.

"STOP!" she commanded towards Red X as soon as she got close enough for him to hear. He only snorted indignantly and continued running. Raven gritted her teeth. "Azarath...Metrion...ZINTHOS!" With this she let go a huge ball of black energy. It was a shame that it was wasted since Red X had pulled out a grappling hook and launched himself onto the nearest roof and out fo Raven's line of sight. She flew up tot he roof and prepared to trap him within her black energy, but he had completely disappeared.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Raven screamed, and a vent nearby burst. Raven calmed her breath, dropped to the roof in the lotus position, and began her chant. She would calm herself until Robin and the others arrived on the scene to evaluate the crime.

Oh, could this day get worse?

Later that night all the Titans regrouped after one final search back at the Tower. They were beginning to get worried, since they had not heard from him in twenty-four hours. Raven was probably the one worrying the most, since she knew what he had been thinking about before he disappeared. Should she share what she knew with Robin or the others? Was it important to the current situation.

Raven sighed and leaned back on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. The moon was shining bright just outside her window and she looked towards it with watering eyes. A tear escaped down her cheek as she thought of his last words.

'Just live.'

What could that mean? Did it possibly hold some deep meaning that she was missing? Wait, what was she talking about? This was BEAST BOY! Of course there was no deep meaning to it. But then again, she underestimated him once, and she could very well underestimate him again.

Raven took her pillow and smothered her face with it. Why did life have to be so complicated. Just live? What kind of advice was that? Was he high or something when he had said that? Raven highly doubted that, for she knew that the green teen had been clean his entire life, but there were first for everything. Still, it was a laughable prospect.

"Raven?" a voice asked as it knocked at her door. "Raven?"

She recognized it as Cyborg.

"Yea?" she asked back, though her pillow muffled her speech.

"Do you want anything for dinner? I'm making hamburgers and fries if you're hungry, or I could make something special for you," he told her, his voice tired. Searching for Beast Boy had taken a toll on all of them. They were tired, hungry, and slightly depressed. What if there was something wrong?

"I'm not hungry," she told him. "But would you mind starting a pot of tea for me?"

"No problem," he replied, and she could imagine the small smile on his half-mechanical face. "Green Tea?"

"You know me all too well," Raven replied. "Thanks."

She heard the thumping footsteps that signaled Cyborg was walking away. Raven pulled the pillow away from her face and looked out the window to the moon, to see it had dipped slightly. She sighed slightly and rubbed her bare leg, her hand traveling over the scratch she had gotten when she offered to talk him for a walk in the park. A smile came to her lips as she remembered.

"Oh, Beast Boy, where are you?"
