The sun made its way easily through the blinds in Beast Boy's room. It was very early and the whole tower was silent. Raven woke as she felt little beads of light dancing along her forehead. She usually hated to wake up to the sun; she preferred to be completely in darkness. But she had been able to sleep easily for the first time since the incident with Slade. She opened her eyes to find that she was cuddled up beside Beast Boy. Her back was against his chest and his chin rested gently upon her head. One arm was draped gently around her waist while his other was underneath her keeping her close.

Raven turned over as carefully as she could so not to wake him up. She looked at him, he was so peaceful, and he truly cared about her. She lifted her arm and brushed his hair back with her hand. She let his blades of hair slide gently through her nimble fingers. She brought her hand down to his face and rubbed his cheek. He began to stretch and yawn.

"Morning Rae." he said as he laid his arm back on her.

He blushed and pulled his arm back feeling slightly embarrassed. Raven giggled then caught what she was doing and quickly stopped. Her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink and Beast Boy smiled at her.

"So, did you sleep okay?" BB asked her.

"Yes, thank you." she replied.

"For what?" BB asked puzzled.

"For letting me sleep here." she said and turned away from him.

"Anytime Rae, I'm always here for you."

The room went silent Raven went over to the window and looked out it.

"Rae, what's with you and the window?"

Raven turned back to face Beast Boy who looked a little worried.

"It's nothing really." she said a little defensive.

"Is it really nothing, or do you just not want to tell me?" he asked as he got a closer to her.

"I… I feel like he's everywhere. I go to sleep and I dream about him. I wake up and I see his face everywhere. I hear his voice no matter where I am. I feel like he's never going to leave." she confessed.

"Raven, I promise that I won't let him hurt you again." Beast Boy said as he got stern.

"That isn't something you can promise me." Raven said as a tear began to form in her eye.

"Yes it is Raven," he said as he grabbed her by the shoulders and gently shook her, "I'm not going to let him hurt you ever again."

Raven took a step back. Beast Boy looked down at the floor and then back to her.

"Raven, what I said the other day, I just want you to know that I meant every word, and I would honestly do anything in my power to keep you from getting hurt."

"I…" Raven couldn't find the right words to say.

'I don't know if I feel the same… I think I do, but do I really?'

"What is it Rae?" he asked.

"I feel…" still nothing.

'Just tell him, come on'

Beast Boy stood in silence with an awkward expression.

"I, I think I love you too." she finally managed to say.

Beast Boy blushed.

"Do… do you really?"

"I... don't know."

"How do you not know?!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Because, I don't know Beast Boy, I just don't know I'm confused about a lot right now."

"What are you confused about Raven?!" he yelled again.

Raven squeezed her fists together, her eyes were glowing. She stood tall and looked Beast Boy square in the eye.

"I was fucking raped Beast Boy, and by Slade of all people. I let it happen; I didn't even attempt to stop him. I let him take the only pure part of me. I know I could've taken him, I just don't know why I didn't. And last night he came here to the tower, and I had my chance to get back at him, but no, I ran away from him. I let him get the best of me… I… I don't even know who I am anymore." she said as she broke down and collapsed to the floor.

Beast Boy took a deep breath and knelt down to the floor beside her.

"Rae, I promise to do everything in my power to keep you safe." he said.

Raven looked up at him and said nothing. Instead she turned her attention to the window and stared at it. Beast Boy looked at the window, then to her, then the window again. His face tensed as he walked over to his dresser which was a few feet away from the window. He went to the side of it and transformed into a gorilla and began to push the dresser until it completely covered the window. Not a speck of light could shine through. He wiped his hands in an accomplished manner as he turned back into himself and turned back to Raven who smiled slightly, then yawned.

"You haven't slept much lately have you?" he asked as he frowned.

"Not really, except for last night." she responded.

"You're welcome to stay with me if it helps you sleep."

"I'd like that." she said as she smiled and hugged him.

Beast Boy's face went blank for a second, but then he snapped out of it. He hugged her back tightly, trying to savor that moment. She looked up and caught his eyes gazing back at her. Then her eyes slowly shifted downward to his lips. She leant up a little further and kissed him. His eyes widened as he fell into a state of shock. Raven was kissing him. He closed his eyes and kissed her back holding her closer and tighter. Her lips were soft and warm; they felt wonderful against his. She finally realized what they were doing and broke the kiss and turned away. Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink as embarrassment kicked in.

'Did I really just do that.'

"Beast Boy, I'm sorry I, I don't know where that came from."

"It's okay, I mean it wasn't bad or anything." he confessed as his cheeks turned a color that resembled her own.

Meanwhile

Cyborg was making his way around the tower inspecting the security. He didn't believe Raven's story and was thinking of ways to make the tower safer for everyone. As he was walking by the Medical Wing he decided to see if Raven was awake. When he went in she was nowhere to be found. He quickly took out his communicator and got a hold of Robin.

"Aye Rob, Raven isn't in here, can you check her room to see if she went there?" Cy asked.

"Yeah, I was heading by her room anyway." he said as he approached Raven's door.

He knocked on the door and waited to see if she responded.

"Raven, are you in there?" he asked.

There was no response.

"Raven?!" he called out a little bit louder

Still nothing.

"Raven, I'm coming in." he said as he pushed the door in.

The room was dark and empty, he called her name out again. She definitely wasn't in there. Robin quickly got back to Cyborg.

"Are you sure she isn't there Cyborg because she isn't in her room." he said and as he did he saw Starfire coming down the hall.

"Hey Star, you haven't seen Raven have you?" he asked.

"No, I have not seen friend Raven, is something not okay?" she asked getting faintly worried.

"We don't know where she is." Robin answered.

"Hey have either of you checked the roof?" Cyborg said over the communicator.

"No, I was just up there and I did not see her." Star answered.

Meanwhile

Beast Boy was lying on his bed while Raven laid beside him, her head resting peacefully on his upper chest. She was listening to him breath as he placed his arm around her waist. As he shut his eyes his communicator went off. He looked over to the side of the bed and whimpered he couldn't reach it. Rather than listen to Beast Boy groan, Raven stretched her arm over toward where the communicator was and levitated it into the air, dropping it in the palm of Beast Boy's hand.

"Yeah?" he asked into it.

"Hey, have you seen Raven anywhere?" Robin asked.

Raven pushed away from Beast Boy and over to the edge of the bed.

"Uhm, yeah she's with me." he answered.

"Where are you guys?"

"In my room." he said and Robin didn't respond.

He threw the communicator on the floor and crawled over to where Raven was, he went to place his hand on her leg, but she got off the bed.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"They're gunna be suspicious." she said.

"Of what?"

She gave him a stupid look.

"When do I actually go into your room." she stated.

"Good point," he said, "but considering what happened, they won't say anything about it."

"What are you saying?" she asked as her face turned pale.

"That everything will be okay after we tell them."

"NO!" she screamed, "You can't tell them."

"Raven they deserve to know." Beast Boy said.

"Beast Boy, I trusted you with that, please don't tell them."

"I have to Raven, they need to know."

"No, they don't, in fact I don't think you deserved to know either." she said as she opened the door and stormed out, not knowing that the other titans were right there and heard her yell.

She walked right by as if she didn't even see them and went straight up into her room.

Robin turned to Beast Boy who stared at the floor.

"What happened to Raven?" he asked in a serious voice.

Beast Boy refused to look him in the eye.

Up in Raven's room, Raven was meditating in the middle of the floor with all her candles and books surrounding her.

'Why did I tell him, he's gunna tell the rest of them, they're going to hate me. They'll think I'm weak. Since I can't defend myself against Slade they won't want me anymore. If they kick me off the team I'll have nowhere to go. I'll truly have nothing. I thought I could trust Beast Boy, I really did, but I don't think I can, I can't trust anyone, nobody cares about me… no one.'

Just then Raven's communicator went off. She got up and walked over to it. She felt disgusted the minute she opened it.

"I care about you Raven." said Slade as she dropped it to the floor.
