Beware the shadows of the soul chapter 4 – It begins
Raven could only be worried for Beast boy as she walked her scared and shaken boyfriend to the medical wing. As they were walking away, she could hear the sounds of the fire extinguishers Robin and Cyborg were using to put out the fire go off. She was worried for many reasons now. First, Robin's old enemy "Two – face" had come to Jump city looking for Beast boy. Second, a suicidal man kills himself trying to kill Beast boy and thirdly, the man said that he would return when they were at their weakest. She REALLY didn't want to remember what the man had mentioned about Beast boy being possessed by demons. Then it occurred to her; there was ONE enemy that could be capable of all of this. Raven thought it through and even though the evidence pointed to one specific enemy, she didn't want it to be them. She remembered the pain all five of the titans went through; fighting to the death to protect Beast boy.
As Raven finally reached the medical wing with Beast boy, she laid him on the bed; ready to be checked by Cyborg when he was done with the fire. It then occurred to her that Beast boy now had nowhere to sleep. Raven got a blush and a nervous grin on her face as she thought of an idea (I'm pretty sure you can all tell what it is). Five minutes later when Cyborg walked in, Beast boy was still shacking; holding the cloak Raven had given him closely to his chest. After Beast boy fell asleep after Cyborg gave him a glass of warm soy milk and a sleeping pill, Raven and Cyborg stepped out of the medical wing to talk about the situation. Just as they were leaving, Robin came around the corner with Starfire at his side.
"Oh friends, where is Beast boy? Friend Robin has just informed me of what occurred moments ago with the man of mystery!" questioned Starfire. "He's all right Star, he's asleep. I gave him some soy milk and a sleeping pill to help him calm down." Cyborg turned his head to face his leader. "So Robin, how much damage is there?" Robin lowered his head whilst dropping the empty fire extinguisher from his right hand. "The guy soaked everything. All of BB's possessions that were in sight as soon as you entered his room were covered in petrol. It didn't make things any better that the room was filled with gas." said Robin; grimace on his face. "I searched through his drawers and I found one thing that survived the fire." Robin then pulled his left hand from behind his back so Raven and Cyborg could see what it was. It was an emerald green picture frame with jewels stuck on it. "What is it?" asked Cyborg. Robin was about to respond when Raven answered. "It's him and his parents. It's the only picture he has of them so it's a treasure to him. He treats the picture itself like how I treat my meditation mirror; with care and safety." Robin then handed the picture frame to Raven. "Raven, when he wakes up, he might be happy to see that." he said. With that, Robin waved for Starfire and Cyborg to follow him whilst Raven went back into the medical wing.
It had been 6 hours since Beast boy had fallen asleep from his medication and it was now 9:39pm. On countless occasions the other three titans had come to see how he was and offered to watch him so Raven could sleep but she said she wasn't moving until she at least saw Beast boy awake. As Raven sat in the chair next to his bed, she looked at the picture Beast boy had so much care for. In the picture were three people. One was a man with blonde hair and blue eyes whilst another was a woman with brown hair and brown eyes. The third was the only person Raven recognised; it was a younger version of her boyfriend. She knew it was him due to the famous grin perched upon the boy's lips. The boy appeared to have Blonde hair and blue eyes just like his father so Raven believed the fact that the picture was taken before Beast boy went green. As she placed the picture on Beast boy's desk, he began to stir from his slumber. He slowly opened his eye lids as he placed his hand to his head. "Hey Beast boy, how you doing?" she asked. "Ah, who's there?" Beast boy responded. He then turned his head to see Raven and he smiled. "Aw Rae, you waited by my bedside? That's so sweet of you!" Beast boy exclaimed. Raven raised an eyebrow at this. "Beast boy, I waited four days by your bedside after you were seriously hurt. Six hours is nothing." Beast boy was shocked. "Six hours!? How strong are those sleeping pills!?" He shouted. Raven smirked at his silly comment. "So Rae, would you mind reminding me of what happened? I kinda can't remember." he asked. "Well, we were about to start meditating when you said you wanted to go get the cloak I gave you. You left to get it then about thirty seconds later, I heard an explosion. I run out the door to your room on fire and you just standing in the hallway. Cyborg and Robin arrived shortly after and we were about to leave when the guy who set the room alight stepped out of your room. He then said some things about returning and then he fled. That's pretty much It." said Raven. She felt a little happier that Beast boy didn't remember the incident. That way, she could miss out some parts that would've had him incredibly scared if he knew about them. Beast boy was about to ask something when his eyes went the size of dinner plates; Raven noticed this. "Oh no." he said. "Beast boy, what's wrong?" she asked. Beast boy then jumped up of the bed and was about to open the door when Raven grabbed him from behind. "NO! I have to find it! It's all I have left of them!" he shouted. Raven immediately knew what he was talking about so she let him go. "Beast boy, it's ok. Look." said Raven as she pointed to the picture frame. As Beast boy was about to thank her, Robin's voice came over the mic. "All titans except Beast boy to the common room."
"Alright Robin, Why did you call us? If you want me to fix up BB's room, I need time!" Cyborg exclaimed. Before Robin could respond, Raven leaned over to Cyborg and whispered something to him. Suddenly, Cyborg's eyes went the size of dinner plates. "What? Why?" he asked. Raven then blushed as she leaned in to whisper to him again. As she leaned away, Cyborg grew a smirk on his face. "Oh Really, Rae? That's the reason, hm?" Cyborg asked. At this, Raven's blush went from pink to crimson and she looked away from Cyborg as she discovered how interesting the floor is. "Alright everyone, the reason I've called everyone here except Beast boy is because I discovered something shocking about our intruder from earlier." Starfire raised an eyebrow. "Friend Robin, are you saying you have found out more peculiar information about the man of mystery apart from the fact that he was able to walk through fire without feeling the pain?" Robin simply nodded as he continued. "I was watching the security cameras when I saw something amazing. The intruder was able to pass through walls and couldn't be detected by the heat vision. It was as if the man had died and someone was controlling him." Raven knew now who was behind this and had to speak up; even if she didn't want to. "I know who it is." she said. The other three titans turned their heads and raised their eyebrows; telling her to answer. "This enemy is obviously the guy who hired Two – face. It can't be just a coincidence that there are two guys after Beast boy at once. Two – face failed his job so the employer came to do it himself. We also know that the employer has the ability to possess a person which means we are defiantly dealing with a demon here." Cyborg raised his hand like a schoolboy to speak. "Erm Rae, no offense but there's one problem with your theory. The only demon Beast boy ever thought was killed two weeks ago. We saw it before our very eyes." Raven lowered her head. "You're wrong Cyborg." The other three titans were now growing worried. "Demons have the ability to give up half their being to cheat death and if the demon we are referring to is as powerful as he says he is then he is most likely still alive. Let's face it guys; we have to accept that . . ." Suddenly, the alarm went off. The conversation was dropped as Robin looked through the window of the tower to see Two – face standing on the island; soldiers with him also . . .
