Terror

She wanted to shut her eyes, draw the curtains, mentally swarm the moon with clouds so that it would stop illuminating the events that were happening below, events that she was powerless to stop. For once in Raven's life sheer emotion overrode all reasoning, and she found her gaze glued to the two figures on the rocks beneath the Tower.

There was a reason why she was up here and not down there with them.

He didn't need a girl like her – she was far too serious for him. She didn't laugh at his jokes, at least, not out loud. Suddenly she wanted to scream, to run out and tell him that yes, she did like his sense of humour; she did laugh at his jokes and yes, she did think he was funny. But it was too late for that, because some other girl, some girl with beautiful blonde hair that shone in the dark, some girl who was just as powerful as her and who wasn't adverse to lame jokes or parties, had beaten her to it.

They were making faces.

This was a girl he could have fun with, and for a second Raven felt that she could convince herself to accept whoever he chose to be with, as long as he was happy. But that feeling vanished as soon as it came.

She'd never made a face in her entire life – couldn't bring herself down to that level of shamelessness… or up to that level of freedom and self-liberation. Either way, it was out of her league.

So she surrendered.

She didn't know how long she stood there at the window, with the black creeping into her version, and she wasn't aware of the awesome racket that ravaged her room; books, papers, her lamp, the entire bed were but white outlines enveloped in black, seized by a rattling, shaking fit that threatened to explode right out of her room and up into the night sky in the furious shadow of a bird.

A soft, tentative knock on the door sent everything slamming back to their places on her bedroom floor.

Raven slid the door open and came face to face with green eyes, green hair, green skin. A wave of panic seized hold of her insides, almost causing her to fling him back and into the blonde girl who was standing behind him, looking flushed.

"Raven… I heard noises. Is everything okay?"

No. Everything was not okay. He was with the wrong girl, she was losing control of herself and…

"Everything's fine."

She closed the door on him.

A/N: Just thought we needed a sad one about them. I wrote this after watching the episode 'Terra', and so I imagined this scene taking place when Beast Boy and Terra were having that disgustingly intimate scene on the rocks by the bay, and they were making faces and blushing. Ugh. Ugh! Forgive the rant, but I just cannot stand Beast Boy and Terra together.

Well, I'm glad everyone enjoyed the previous Superman-inspired post. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. You are:
