I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SORRY! Honest to God, I've the worst case of writers block ever! Thought I had planned it all well enough before I started to writing it that this wouldn't happen! Ends up, I over looked a rather important detail: How to connect the ending to the rest of the story. It took over a year to finally figure it out. And then, and I couldn't even make this up if I tried, struck with inspiration, I went and turned on my computer, waited for it all to load up, opened a new file and then….my computer shut off…..and wouldn't turn back on….by the time I finally got the computer fixed, I lost the idea…..oh well, the one currently had is a lot better anyways.

But, thank-you to everyone who reviewed to this story! If it wasn't for those reviews, this story would have been forgotten! Thank-you!

Anywho, without further babble, onto the story!


Chapter 9: Goodbye

Eva's wide blue eyes focused on Beastboy's green ones, and Beastboy felt he couldn't look away. He wasn't even aware of when exactly his hand lifted from their place on the console to press against the glass of the pod; he only noticed it when Eva's eyes suddenly darted away from his eyes to his hand, her attention drawn by the movement. Her blue eyes shone brightly as she lifted her own hand and reached out towards him…only problem was that hers wasn't stopped by the glass…or even by Beastboy's own hand. It was then that Eva's look of shock reverted back to the pained look.

Beastboy jumped at this, he hadn't expected her hand to reach through the glass as it did. But he quickly recovered when Eva suddenly pulled her hand back and stood up on the wing.

"EVA!" Beastboy found himself screaming, now throwing himself against the glass that had separated the two of them. The T-ship suddenly veered sideways before the surprised Cyborg managed to get it back on course.

"Beastboy, what's wrong?" Robin's voice suddenly came through the headset; Beastboy looked away from Eva to respond to his leader as she turned to watch him once again from her perch at the edge of the wing.

"Don't you see her standing on the wing!" Beastboy exclaimed, attention turning back to Eva….or, where she had stood only a moment before.

"Beastboy…what are you talking about, man?" responded the slightly irritated Cyborg.

"Eva! Didn't you see her standing there!" Beastboy was getting irritated, how could he have been the only one to notice her?

"There's nobody there, Beastboy. You must have dozed off." Came Robin's dismissive response that left Beastboy with his mouth open and his eyes back on where Eva had been only moment before. He knew what he had seen was not a dream, but he didn't want to think of what it meant.


Aqualad stood firmly between the girl and the crazed man with the blade, he mind debating whether or not to call his team or Robin back. The man looked to be human, but, there was something that told Aqualad not to let his guard down. This man was dangerous; that much was clear to him, but how dangerous was still unknown.

"Who are you? And why are you after this girl?" Aqualad demanded of Koray.

Koray grinned, his crazed, evil grin. "Little Birdie, Little Birdie, so lost and so far from home. I'll kill the Stupid Fish, Little Birdie, just as I will to you."

"I asked, who are you!" Aqualad repeated, yelling it this time.

"I am Death." He responded before suddenly attacking, an attack that Aqualad barely managed to dodge. But he was grazed by the blade as Koray suddenly pivoted on his heel, sending another attack his way. Aqualad stumbled backwards a few steps, the shallow cut on his chest stung slightly, but other than that, it wasn't serious. He summoned some water from below but Koray attacked again before he could bring it up. The man moved unbelievably quick, causing Aqualad another close call, followed by another with the follow up attack.

Eva could only watch in horror as the boy who came to her aide struggled to keep out of the murderer's blade. Koray continued an onslaught of attacks, shifting one missed attack into another, then into another, then another. Some managing to graze the hero, drawing a line in red that would overflow and spill over. Each one individually were nothing, but, in combination, Aqualad was losing a lot of blood without realizing it. It wasn't until his movements were starting to get clumsy that Eva knew she had to act soon.

She did not have to wait long, Aqualad suddenly stumbled, his head feeling light as his vision danced, that was when Koray moved in for a final attack, and Eva moved in for her first. She didn't think, she just ran in and bowled into him, a move that served only to bring the crazy's one track mind back to his original target. He threw her off of him right before he hit the ground, causing her to land in a heap barely a foot away. Both of them stumbled back to their feet.

He came at her, and Eva's vision flashed as everything became darker, as if it was sunset instead of the after sunrise, and her body, cloaked in that blue cloak she'd seen in her visions, moved swiftly to dodge the attack before she found herself back in her own body. The sun still higher than the horizon and Koray stumbling to stop his charge that missed. Eva had dodged…no, she followed what her vision self had done. This was similar, and that scared her even more. She knew how that ended. But she still couldn't stop her own body as it moved to follow what happened next, she swung a kick; which Koray stopped with his forearm and caught with his other hand, the blade dropped to the ground. He grinned again and threw her.

Eva landed in a heap at the edge of the cliff, with a cry. The switching visions stopped as the memory stopped rolling. This left Eva with a very nasty headache, something that she didn't have time to worry about as she pushed to her feet to find Koray coming at her, his blade back in his hands. She had nowhere to go, as she raised her arms to try and protect herself, something she knew was futile. He was only a foot away when a noise stopped him. He looked up to find the T-Ship coming into view above the trees. Eva saw it to and smiled, she was saved. But just as that warmth of hope rose in her chest, it was replaced by pain, and her eyes moved from the Titans to Koray, who had moved suddenly in front of her. Then her eyes fell to the blade and the blood that was now staining her gown.

It was just like in movies. Time just slowed to what seemed to be an impossible speed as everything fell silent around her. Eva's body numbed the moment after the blade pierced her skin, and, after that she became only vaguely aware of it even still being there. She didn't even notice when the blade's owner took it back. She was aware, more than usually possible for a human, but her numbed mind failed to register anything. Every detail of what played out before her was captured and memorized, but never realized.

She saw her murderer before her. His face contorted in a look of gleeful accomplishment, and the ship that flew still high in the air. She saw Beastboy force open the capsule of his pod and leapt out before the ship even started its descent. She saw him taking the form of a hawk to slow his decent before reverting back to run to her. She saw Koray turn and shift his grip on his blade. She saw Starfire tackle Beastboy to the ground as Koray's blade entered the space that Beastboy's neck had been only a moment before. But it wasn't until she saw Beastboy's green eyes look up at her from the dirt, looking so full of sorrow, did she finally see what she did not see before.

She saw the ground leave her feet as she was sent over after the step back she did not even notice taking. The numbness continued as she started her own descent towards the water.


"EVA!" Beastboy screamed, pushing Starfire off him as he raced towards the edge of the cliff after her, only to be knocked away by a kick in the gut by Koray. Beastboy gasped for the air that was painfully forced from his lungs as he dropped to his knees. He didn't even have a chance to recover before the large blade was shoved through his shin and into the ground underneath him, he let out a loud scream of pain as he turned to try and pull it out.

"Next one up." Koray grinned as his eyes fell onto Beastboy. But his gaze was broken by Starfire rapidly firing her starbolts in her despite attempt to save her friend. This was followed by Robin leaping in and aiming a fury of attacks at the dangerous murderer. While the two occupied the now pissed off man, Cyborg moved to help Beastboy.

But Beastboy paid little attention to his cybernetic friend as his eyes locked onto a figure dashing from the T-ship and towards the cliff. Even as she ran, Eva's feet made no noise. She didn't even pay heed to the battle as she dashed by the threesome fighting; she only paused at the edge of the cliff. She turned slightly to look at Beastboy over her shoulder. "Thank-you, Beastboy." She said, her voice carrying over the battle and the waves below despite the softly spoken sentence. "Please, stop him for me." She pleaded before she elegantly swan dived off the cliff.

"I…I will." Beastboy whispered in response, much to the confusion of the ignorant Cyborg.


Her eyes looked on the sunset sky as she fell, her mind falling back to the green eyes she saw. 'Was it green eyes?' The thought cracked through the numbness her mind had taken on.

'Was it green or blue? No, it was green. Beastboy has green eyes. Who has blue eyes? Cyborg; one brown, one red. Starfire; green. Robin...who was Robin? Bird...no, leader of the Teen Titans. Teen Titans, young heroes...why is the sky pink and gold? Gold...I remember gold eyes too. Who has blue?'

Eva's eyes shut; the quick moving scenes around her making her already fuzzy head spin. It wasn't soon after that did she suddenly feel an encompassing pressure hit her, hitting her back briefly first before overtaking the rest of her. Her lungs released what was left of her air as her nerves suddenly awoke.

The blinding pain burned throughout her body, and she found it even more painful to move. She let in a gasp when her lungs started to burn as well, but found only water entering. Her eyes opened to see red, the sea stained in her blood and she felt the pain disappearing again as quickly as it came.

'Red...' The vision of her black cloth side oozing a red liquid flashed in her mind once more. 'Blue...' Those blue eyes came back. She remembered seeing a girl. She had to help her. She had to...black.
