PLEASE READ: Okay, so I've been getting messages from people saying they were worried that I had quit on this story, or the other story that I am currently working on (which is also a Teen Titans fanfic for Beast Boy and Raven) that so far, a lot of people like. But anyways I would like to make this statement: No matter what, or how long this takes, the stories I begin will always be finished!

Chapter 8

"Medication"

Raven sat alone in her room, unsure of what was going on in the medical room. She only came out of her room when it was early, so hardly anybody saw her, and she never took her hood off anymore. Raven refused to admit it to herself, but the rest of the Titans could see it considerably. Raven was more worried about Beast Boy then she would about any other of the team.

Starfire rested her head on her palm, sighing every once in a while. Robin and Cyborg were almost always in the infirmary, making sure Beast Boy's condition didn't get any worse. But the thing was, it wasn't getting any better either.

The static of the box in front of her made her head snap up, "Hey, Starfire, you there?"

Starfire clicked the button she was told would make this "walkie-talkie" work. "Yes, friend Cyborg, I am here. Do require more objects to consume?" She asked, releasing the button, remembering if she didn't they wouldn't be able to talk back to her.

"No Star, we're fine." Cyborg said back, "But could you come in here for a second?"

She clicked the button again, "Gladly friends."

Starfire got up, leaving the box (walkie-talkie) where it was on the table. She headed down the hallway into the medical room, knocking on the door to see if it was okay. "May I enter?"

"Yeah Star, you can come in," Robin's voice said dully.

Starfire walked in, a little concerned now. But she cast his tone aside, knowing they were probably just tired. "Friends, how is Beast Boy doing?"

Robin and Cyborg shared a look, "Star . . ."

Starfire's eyes widened, "W-What has-?"

"I think . . . I think he might be in a comma Starfire," Cyborg replied before she could panic too much.

Starfire looked unsettled, "Please, you can fix him then, yes?"

Cyborg sighed, "Star . . . it doesn't look like there's anything more we can do for him."

Starfire eye's continued to widen, except they appeared to be watering as well. "But . . ." She glanced at her friends unconscious body. "Then when will he wake up?"

Robin walked in front of her, bracing himself. "We don't know Starfire. . . for all we know, he might not."

He stiffened, expecting Starfire to run over and hug him forcibly, but he stopped when he noticed her just watching Beast Boy. She seemed to understand more then he'd thought, "Who shall tell Raven?"

After a moments pause a static-layered voice said. "You don't have to."

Raven walked out of her room, hood still over her head. Every once in a while, she'd comply to her bodies to needs and go into the kitchen at a normal time to get something to eat or drink. She walked over to the cabinets and picked a mug out of the table.

"Friends, how is Beast Boy doing?"

Raven almost dropped her mug, surprised at Starfire's voice. She looked around and then stopped, Starfire wasn't in the room. She noticed something on the table and paused, listening to the conversation.

"Star . . ." Robin's voice said hesitantly, making Raven freeze.

"W-What has-?"

"I think . . . I think he might be in a comma Starfire," Cyborg's voice interrupted this time.

"Please, you can fix him then, yes?" Starfire seemed to be panicking.

"Star . . . it doesn't look like there's anything more we can do for him."

"But . . .Then when will he wake up?"

"We don't know Starfire. . . for all we know, he might not." Robin said after a pause.

There was another pause before she asked. "Who shall tell Raven?"

Raven was in shock, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. After a moment though she put her cup down and clicked the button unthinkingly and said into it, "You don't have to."

She didn't wait for a response before letting it drop to the floor, the crunch told her the old toy had probably broken, but she didn't stop to see. The only place she couldn't do much destruction was in the basement, and her powers we're on the brink of breaking any minute now.

The white haired girl held her head in her hands, "What has she done?" She breathed.

All three of them were in the same room, She was just the only one to have talked in a while. Her voice was the next to speak, "I can't believe she'd do something like that."

He paused before responding, "I think . . . I think I know a way to fix this."

She stared curiously, "How?"

He got off of the box he was standing on and showed her, "She made these . . . just in case. She had a note made for them too. We don't need them though, but if we tamper with them a little-."

"We might be able to save him," Her voice said, nodding. "Come on, we don't have a lot of time."

"Is it finished?" Her voice asked asked.

"Just about." He replied. "Done." He said, holding up the objects in the dark for Her to see. The light from the one small window reflected on the object.

She came running in, "Hurry up! Someone's coming!"

Her hands grabbed the objects immediately and placed them in the wooden box. She then lifted up one of the floorboards and placed the items under it. A white portal appeared as She used her powers to make it. The boy ran through and then the red haired girl, pausing as she watched her friend place a note on top of the box. "C'mon! Hurry!"

She nodded and placed the creaky floorboard back in the ground before running through with her friends.

A small sniffling was already being heard along with footsteps just as the portal closed.

Raven turned the corner, sniffling a little. Most of the old objects in the basement had been trashed, but thankfully no one wanted them anymore anyways. "Hello? Is anyone down here?" She asked quietly, not really in the mood for a fight at the moment. She could have sworn she heard something.

No one replied. Instead she continued into the dark of the room, glad of the space from her friends. Everyone had been trying to console everyone about what had happened, though what she really needed right now was just some alone time. Her foot creaked on one of the loose boards. She took another step forward off of it before sinking to the ground.

Her chest felt like it had been ripped open, like someone had torn out her heart, mangled it, and then returned it. It was one of the most horrible feelings she'd ever had, and yet it wasn't completely undesirable. Right now all she wanted was to be berated and scolded for not being able to prevent what had happened. Leaving . . . she couldn't even think about it.

Finally she looked up and saw something glittering in the floor boards. "What the-?"

Hesitantly Raven gripped the wood piece and pulled, surprised at how easily it came up. Tossing the wood aside, she picked up the object out of the dirt from the ground. Dusting the dirt off of the bottom, she placed it on her lap and a piece of paper drifted to the ground. Very carefully she picked it up and unfolded it, smoothing out the creases. The handwriting was interesting, but what was even more important was what was written on it.

I know what happened, you don't have to be afraid. Trust me though, you used to remember who I was. The potion isn't going to last long for me, but this one in here will be permanent. A year ago, you met me. And you will know that I'm the only one who can help you. Please trust me and take the one that has your name on it. Otherwise history will repeat itself, and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it. Make everyone take them. Including him. Please.

Signed,

A friend.

Raven stared in disbelief at the note before folding it back up and opening the casing. Inside five bottles all labeled with names and filled with clear liquid were behind held by a velvet lining. She carefully picked one up and held it to her point of vision. What did she have to lose? Uncapping the bottle, she opened her mouth and tilted the bottle, spilling every drop of the unknown substance down her throat.

She noticed first off that it didn't taste like poison, but then again, if it was poison, it really didn't matter. The demon half of her was immune to most poison, and the types they weren't had been banned many years ago. After downing the bottle with her name on it, she put it back down, noticing that nothing was happening."What the-?"

All at once, voice began filling her head. Things that were familiar, but she didn't understand.

There was some girl with a white cloak on, a lot like hers, also wearing an outfit like hers.

"That's . . . That's none of your business!" She snapped, "Leave me alone!"

The room was dead silent. Then, "What have you done!?"

"I . . .am . . . not!" She screamed. "Stay . . . away . . . from . . . my . . . mind!"

"I'm not afraid of it, if I disappeared you wouldn't remember me."

"Is my life really that bad?"

"What are you going to do? Seduce him? Because that's the only way you can make him uncomfortable enough to tell you anything about where we were. He's dealt with mean you long enough to be used to it, why not try the other way around?"
Raven snorted, "You would like that wouldn't you?"
"Yes, in fact I would."

He clicked the button on his screen that showed the matches name. "Because you're the match."

"You never forgot to turn the alarm about watching for me off."

"So for three hours you've been playing hide and seek?" Robin questioned skeptically.
"Yes." The two culprits answered in unison.
Raven crossed her arms, "I don't believe any of it. I think they were up to something."

Raven's fists were clenched and Ella was ready to stop her if she threw a punch at Ella, "This is none of your business Ella."

"I'm sorry I put you through all of this." Raven muttered to Ella.
"I wouldn't be who I was today if I hadn't gone through all of this Raven. If I didn't have this . . . I don't know what I'd be. But rest assured Raven, I don't regret any of it." She said calmly.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHO YOUR FATHER WAS!?!?!"

Raven gasped, blinking a few times as her eyes re-adjusted to the dark. She realized a moment later that she was lying down, Raven guessed she had collapsed on the floor. She groaned, expecting to have a head-ache or at least be sore from the fall. But to her surprise, she felt fine. Great even. "What the hell?" She breathed, getting back up onto her feet. She moved back over to grab the bottle.

She saw it and picked it up, "What are you?" She asked it, knowing it wasn't going to answer her. After a moment she noticed something still in it and turned it upside-down with her hand up, catching the next note in her bottle. She opened it up and read it aloud, "You've drunk yours, now its everybody else's turn. The girl who attacked Beast Boy is the one you've forgotten. When he's well again, come back, we'll explain everything there. You've been lied to, and there isn't much time. I'm sorry we can't explain more, but you've got to trust us. We're sorry.

-Us.

Raven stared at the note in disbelief before placing the bottle and note on the floor and closing the box, latching it shut again. She picked the box and note up again, holding them tight in her hand as she headed upstairs once more.

Robin had his arm around Starfire, leaning her head on his chest sadly. Cyborg had his arms crossed and was glaring at the ground, living up the sad aura in the room. They were all sad, but they guessed Raven felt a lot worse at the moment.

The door burst open then, "Raven?" Robin asked surprised. Starfire raised her head, pulling away.

Raven didn't answer them, instead she placed a worn, wooden box on the table next to Beast Boy. She opened it up to reveal four bottles in a velvet casing, one of the indents where a bottle had been was now empty. Each was labeled with one of the Titans name on it, all except for Raven's name.

She placed her empty one and a note next to the box, she picked up Robin and Starfire's bottle in one hand, and Cyborg's in the other. She held them out to them, "Drink it."

The three of them shared a look, "Raven-." Starfire began.

"Do it," Raven ordered, "Trust me."

No one moved. Then, slowly, Starfire got up and walked over to where Raven was, taking the bottle with her name on it. "Friend . . . if it makes you happy, I shall drink the bottle."

"Starfire-!" Robin shouted.

Starfire downed the bottle before he could say anything else. Raven motioned for Robin to come towards where they were, and he quickly did as he was told. Starfire finished the bottle and handed it back to Raven. "Raven, what does this-?" Starfire gasped and Robin caught her just in time.

"Raven, what did you do?" Cyborg shouted.

"She's remembering," Raven replied, not taking her eyes off of her.

"Remembering who?" Robin snapped.

Raven met his eyes calmly, "Ella."

Starfire's Memories

She turned her head to him. "Please friends, what is wrong with friend Raven? Is she having 'the episode' as you and Cyborg put it? Or is this another one of those girl things Robin once mentioned?"

After a moment of hesitancy, Starfire stepped forward with the usual smile plastered on her face. "Welcome new friend!" Crushing Ella in a hug, Starfire continued her greeting.

Ella stood up, "Why don't you find out Starfire?" Ella challenged good-naturedly, "Try and blow some of that steam off on me why don't you?"

Ella launched herself off of the edge of the roof and into Blackfire. It was just in time, the blast rebounded and hit a part of the roof rather then the helpless Starfire.

"Ella?" Starfire touched her friends shoulder gently but the only result she got was her friend collapsing. "Raven! Beast Boy!"

Starfire looked up as Ella ran past her. "Friend? What is-?" Starfire gasped as Ella stopped to look at her, Raven's former marks burned on her skin.

"I have to go Starfire." Ella said, her voice muffled slightly in Starfire's shoulder as the alien engulfed her in a bear hug.
"Oh but friend! I will miss you!" Starfire whimpered, not willing to let go.
"No you won't. You won't remember me at all."

Starfire's eyes snapped open again, she felt Robin's arms grasp firmly around her. She steadied herself and stood up, removing her head from his chest, "Robin . . ." She pulled away and grabbed his bottle from Raven, "You must drink this! We have forgotten someone very close to us!"

"We couldn't have forgotten anybody Starfire," Robin said, taking the bottle from her. "I never forget a name or a face."

"First time for everything Robin," Raven said in turn.

Raven handed a bottle to Cyborg as well, "Sit down before you take them."

Cyborg and Robin sat down in the chairs against the wall, "Well," Cyborg began, holding his bottle up to Robin's, "Cheers."

They clinked them together and chugged the bottles, after a moment they became in the same state as Starfire had been only seconds ago.

Robin's Memories

"Ella!" Robin's hand gripped her wrist with the knife in it and glared at her, "Killing yourself is not the way out of this." He said sternly.
Ella jerked her wrist away, "That depends on the situation were in Robin."

"Episodes and girl problems?" She glanced at Robin, "What exactly do you talk about when Raven isn't in the room?"

Upon letting go, Robin came and stood in front of her. "So, . . . you really are from the future? Huh?"

Ella growled, "How could he?"
She stepped out of the circle. Robin grabbed her arm, "What are you doing? That will kill you!"

Robin rustled his hair a bit to try and calm down, "Well, yesterday-."
"I already told you I didn't know anything." Raven interrupted, assuming the wrong thing.
"No! Not that um, well when you caught Ella yesterday and were on the ground you kind of . . . well you let Beast Boy put his arm around you like you were . . . uh . . . yeah." He finished. Practically ready to explode.

Robin stepped forward. He was smiling slightly. "It was nice to know we have a good future to look forward to." He said.
Ella shrugged, still smiling slightly. In an instant she grabbed him and hugged her future Uncle. "You're a gonna be a amazing leader on day Robin." She whispered. "You just need to learn when to let loose sometimes." She hissed, teasing as she released the Titan leader.

Cyborg's Memories

But the moment he read the name, Cyborg felt as if he couldn't breathe, "No." He gasped, glancing from the screen to the sleeping girl in the bed. "That's impossible!" He shouted a little louder than before. Hesitantly he walked over and grabbed the hood of Ella in his hands very gently. With his eyes closed, scared that if he opened them his worst fear would be realized, he removed Ella's hood and opened one eye.
As soon as he saw what he knew was confirmation of the facts his computer had brought up, he dropped the hood back on her face and grabbed the microphone that lead into the main room where he knew the others were currently having lunch. At the top of his lungs (too filled with shock and adrenaline to not) he screamed into the microphone. "GUYS! GET IN HERE! NOW!"

The Titans attention shifted away from a frozen and unmoving (and possibly not breathing) Raven to the girl who was now fuming with anger in the bed next to Cyborg. "Oh sh-."

"Great! Just great! I wake up and I get to deal with this? Are you kidding me!?" Ella ranted. She turned back to Cyborg. "What the hell did you have to go and do that for? This is why I didn't want anyone to know about me! I'm not even supposed to be here!"

Faster then would have been thought possible for someone his size, he ran and hugged Ella. "I'm gonna miss have someone like you in the house. Someone to shut Beast Boy up and get Raven to get mad without blowing something up."
Ella giggled and hugged back for a few seconds. "Don't worry Cy, I still do that."

The girls waited patiently until Cyborg and Robin woke up, when they did, they were shocked.

"Man," Cyborg breathed, looking over at Raven. "How could I forget you had a kid?"

Raven's patient expression turned irritated, "Shut up, you didn't even know who the father was."

She turned away from them and grabbed the bottle with Beast Boy's name on it, "If you notice," She began as she removed the bottle. "You aren't tired anymore. I think," She began unscrewing the top and walking over to Beast Boy's bedside, "Whoever made it knew Beast Boy would be in this condition, not to mention the rest of us feeling like crap, and put a healing concoction in it."

She opened Beast Boy's mouth a little with her powers and poured the liquid into it (Me: You know, if you think about that sentence enough . . . nevermind). He coughed for a few seconds, but it went down without him spitting it back out.

Beast Boy's Memories

"I think you're gonna need a bucket over."

As her rant continue, Beast Boy had his hand on Raven's back reassuringly. The young goth continued to empty the contents in her stomach.

The girl wiped away some of the tears on her sleeve and turned to face him again, "Y-You said you remember Trigon, right?" She asked, sounding very quiet suddenly.
He smiled a little, trying to cheer her up. "Who could forget him?"
Ella smiled weakly, to Beast Boy's surprise she seemed very frail all of the sudden. Almost fragile. "Yeah well, you know how he just magically disappeared when Raven defeated him?" He nodded, "He didn't exactly disappear."
"What are you talking about Ella?" Beast Boy asked, very worried now. "Is everything okay?"

"I can think of a few things." Beast Boy said, his eyes shining with such joy in the situation that it made Raven want to do something violent to him all the more.
Raven looked disgusted. "That sounds disturbingly perverted the way you put that." Raven pointed out, "And so does that 'captor, prisoner' thing."
Beast Boy's grin grew. "And what exactly do you mean by 'perverted' Raven? Because whatever you think of I'm sure I can come up with something worse as a punishment."

Ella's hand clenched into a fist and she brought it in front of her face, "Something like that." She opened it and blew as some of her magic blew on them.

"If Raven is my dream girl then you're my daughter." He scoffed
"I am your daughter." Ella said plainly.

"We don't know anything about the future! The only one who does is the one you want to kill, and since you can't trust her then we will have nothing to do with you people!" Beast Boy shouted, standing up and putting his arm around Raven.

Beast Boy was next up as he walked towards her. He crossed his arms, smiling smugly. "You're quite a handful, aren't you Elles?"
Ella grinned. "You wouldn't love me if I was anything different." Beast Boy held out his arms which Ella gladly excepted. It was nice to hug Beast Boy without any awkwardness. He didn't have to pretend anymore. "I'll miss you Beast Boy." She said. Then, lowering her voice so even he could hardly hear, she breathed. "You're gonna make a great father one day."

Beast Boy hadn't woken up as quick as everyone else, so eventually, everyone left the room after about half an hour. They deserved a break. Raven now sat alone in the room, and, despite herself, held one of Beast Boy's hands in both of hers. "Beast Boy . . . can you hear me?"

She sighed when she didn't get a response, lowering her head, "I guess not."

Beast Boy awoke in the dark, he then opened his eyes to see his room being lit only by the moons luminescent light. He was about to move when he heard someone else slow, but quiet breathing in the room.

'Is Cyborg in here?' He thought 'But then why is he holding my hand?'

He turned in confusion and stared at the sight he saw, "Raven?" he whispered, he didn't get an answer, "Are you awake?"

Clearly she wasn't. No surprise, he noticed. The clock read about 1:30a.m. He smiled at her, her left arm was on the bed he was on (barely) and her head rest in that. Her right hand was the one holding his own. 'Poor Raven, I wonder how long she's been here.'

He yawned, only noticing then how great he felt. A lot better then before when he'd passed out from the pain in the ship. "Man Cy, you're a genius." He yawned as he layed his head back down, facing Raven but still giving her space. He place his other hand over hers and slid his right out, making it more comfortable for him to sleep. "Night Rae," He whispered as he went back to sleep.

I finally made them remember the little pain in the ass, aren't you all happy? The story is actually going to be making progress from now on rather then everybody wandering around in the cold. And to top it off, I STILL haven't named the real names of the kids or the Master's real name. By the way, in case you didn't realize, 'Number One' lied to the Titans when she said they were all bad guys, all she did was morph her Master as well (hence the boy's presence) just to make it more convincing.

So, anyways, there shall be much fluff in future chapters! Later!
