Beast Boy was running to his room when he ran into Cyborg and Robin, he fell to the ground and looked up at them.
"BB, are you… crying?!" Cyborg asked astonished.
"No, why would you think that?" he said very defensively as he rubbed at his eyes.
"Beast Boy, why were you running? Is everything okay?" Robin asked curiously.
"It's nothing okay." Beast Boy said as he turned into a dog and ran to his room.
When he got in his room he turned back into himself, slammed the door, and quickly locked it before anyone could follow him.
"What did I just do?" he asked himself out loud, "of all the people, I tell Raven that I love her, she's probably laughing at me right now. I'm such a loser."
Beast Boy collapsed on his bed, turned into a cat, and huddled underneath his blanket.
Meanwhile
Raven laid in the bed, she was scared and confused. She heard footsteps approaching again. She tensed up a bit, but was fine when she saw Robin and Cyborg. Cyborg went to the monitor on the side of her and looked at it.
"Everything seems okay Raven, as soon as you feel like it you can leave." Cyborg said.
"If it's okay with you guys I'd like to spend the night here." Raven said.
Robin smiled at her.
"Okay Raven." he said.
Cyborg was about to say something else, but the Titan's alarm went off. Raven went to get up, but Robin went to push her back into the bed.
"No Raven you should stay here and rest." Robin said.
"Okay." Raven said feeling completely relieved as Robin and Cyborg ran out.
'That was close, what was I thinking getting up, what if it's him, I really don't wanna see him. He would've taken me again. I just need to stay right here until I forget about everything.'
Raven pulled the blankets back over her head and tried to fall asleep.
Meanwhile
Robin pounded on Beast Boy's door.
"Beast Boy come quick. The alarms going off." Robin yelled as he waited outside BB's door.
Beast Boy crawled out from under his blankets and stretched. He turned back into himself and answered the door.
"Come on Beast Boy let's go." He said and they both ran down the hall.
The Titans got to the center of town when they saw Cinderblock.
"Titans Go!" Robin yelled.
As the battle took place someone was watching over Raven. She looked so peaceful as she slept, so calm. She was clueless that he was in the same room as her. He walked along her bedside and sat next to her. He pushed her hair back as he watched her sleep. Raven awoke, but didn't open her eyes.
'He's here, he's in this room…he's touching me!' she screamed inside her mind.
Raven didn't want to open her eyes; she didn't want to see him, not now. She felt his hand glide along her face. His touch was smooth, almost like… skin. He was starting to caress her, placing his hand on her breast which set an alarm off inside her mind. She slowly began to open her eyes and gave him an evil stare which he laughed at. He smiled down at her and removed his hand.
"Good morning beautiful, it's about time you woke up." He said in his disgusting voice which Raven loathed.
She jumped up and stood on the bed causing him to back up into the monitor. It pushed away and ripped the wires and needles out of Raven's skin. She winced in pain as she saw spots of blood fall on the bed. She pulled her arm in close to her body as the blood began to trickle down her arm.
"You must be careful now; you wouldn't want to hurt yourself would you?" Slade said to her.
"You've already done that for me." She said trying not to focus on the blood running down her body.
"Raven, did you really think I was just going to let you get away after what we did." Slade said as he walked toward her.
"We did nothing!" Raven yelled.
"Oh, quite the opposite. We did something, and you liked it." He said as he grabbed her legs forcing her to fall back onto the bed.
"No, I didn't." She said as she tried to back away, but Slade crawled on top of her.
"Then why didn't you try to stop it?" He asked as his face was inches away from her own.
His face was inches from her own. He could feel the heat from his breath when he exhaled. Raven didn't know what to say to that. She thought quick trying to change the subject.
"My friends will be back here real soon." She said still trying to push away.
"Friends, I would hardly call those people your friends." Slade said as he pulled Raven in closer to himself.
His body was now completely on top of hers. He was too heavy for her. She started breathing deeply.
"They are my friends and as soon as they get back here-" Slade interrupter her before she could finish.
"I'll already be gone by that time, you see Raven I sent Cinderblock downtown to distract the Titans. When I tell him to, he'll stop, but until then you and I have to finish what we started." He said as he kissed her forehead.
"We started nothing, you took advantage of me." She said as she forcefully pushed herself out from underneath him and fell to the floor.
"I would do know such thing to a girl as pretty as you." He said and went to grab her as she ran for the door.
He caught part of her leotard and it ripped showing more than what Raven wanted him to see as she stumbled to the floor. Slade got up from the bed and went to snatch at her again, but before he could she got up and ran down the hall. She ran as fast as her legs would take her. All she could hear was him behind her calling to her which scared her more than ever.
'Why can't this be a dream, why can't I just wake up, this can't be happening, Cyborg, Robin, Starfire… BEAST BOY! Please save me.'
She kept on running until she just couldn't go any further. She fell on the floor and gasped for air. She shut her eyes as she tried to control the wild fear she unleashed upon herself. She felt her chest convulsing as she struggled to regain an ounce of sanity. She heard Slade chuckle behind her and she turned to see the face of evil staring back.
"What more could you possibly want from me?" She asked still struggling to breathe.
"I want a lot more from you Raven, which you are willingly going to give me." He said as he approached her.
He crouched down beside her and stroked at her face.
"I will never give you anything!" She screamed.
"You did a few days ago." He said egging her on.
Raven couldn't hold it in anymore. It was building up like water about to break through a cracked dam. She didn't want this. She never wanted any of this.
"You raped me."
Even through his mask, Raven could sense a falter in the way Slade was looking at her. Something in his demeanor changed. "No, Raven. It meant so much more to me than that."
Raven closed her eyes and turned away. She was waiting for him to do something anything. When she turned back to face him she was surprised to see he was gone. Raven slowly stood up. Streaks of blood that had previously streaked down her arm were now drying. She dragged body back to the Medical Wing and fell to the floor beside the bed. She was too weak to get up.
Her mind couldn't process the events that just happened. Slade didn't react like how she thought he would. Slade was a monster and yet, he seemed hurt when she lashed back at him. He was the one who hurt her and yet here she was feeling guilt. She shut her eyes and lost all consciousness. As she laid there the Titans entered the house.
"That was kinda awkward." Robin said scratching at his head.
"He just took off in the middle of the fight." Cyborg added.
"Yeah, why can't all criminals be like that." BB stated
Starfire flew down the hallway to see if Raven was awake. When she got there she saw Raven passed out on the floor, her monitor knocked over, and blood splatters on the bed.
"Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy! You must come at once!" she screamed as loud as she could.
