Chapter 12: The Pain (Part 2)

"Come on White Beast Boy you got to live!" shouted Cyborg desperately.

Cyborg was shocked by White Beast Boy's heart attack. When he checked White Beast Boy's heartbeat, he found out that he was flatling. Cyborg then ordered Robin to get the paddles while Starfire assisted Cyborg to bring the medical tools for White Beast Boy. Starfire was crying when she knew that White Beast Boy's heart stopped beating. Just then Robin rushed into the medical wing and he was carrying two charged paddles.

"CLEAR!" he shouted as he pushed the paddles into White Beast Boy's chest. The long painful noise was interrupted and it didn't returned, instead there was a small rate of beating. The Titans sighed in relieve as they knew that White Beast Boy was alive.

"I was wondering why friend White Beast Boy suffer attack of heart?" asked Starfire sadly.

"Well…… I checked his heart and I found out that he wasn't suffering heart attack, there is no damage of the heart. I bet it is the emotional pain that he deal with since Raven has left. The emotional pain may have caused some physical harm to his body." explained Cyborg.

"What if friend White Beast Boy can't handle the pain? What will happen to our friend?" asked Starfire.

"He may have higher chances of having heart attack and heart cancer or worse, death." explained Cyborg grimly.

Starfire gasped as she heard the news. Robin remained calm in his face but he was worried about White Beast Boy in his heart. Cyborg was also very worried about his beast friend; he has been very strong as he continued to live after what he encountered ever since he was born. He couldn't bear the fact that White Beast Boy may die because the departure of Raven. He was very angry at his little "sis" for leaving the team and said those mean things about White Beast Boy. Without White Beast Boy the team may have already been captured by the Blood Brotherhood.

"Why not White Beast Boy just forgets about Raven?" asked Starfire.

"Because if he starts to lose his love towards Raven, his power will start fading and he will go back to his green cloak, means he is the same as he before get the white cloak. We need White Beast Boy in white cloak to control the crime because White Beast Boy may be the only one who can keep peace." explained Robin sadly.

"Yes, if I do that, the world may be threatened by Trigon again." said White Beast Boy sadly. This surprised the other Titans but they soon relaxed.

"Well, looks like you are going to have to bear the pain." said Cyborg.

Robin furiously punched into the wall in anger "I swear that if Raven don't apologize for what she had did for 2 days, she will be off the team!" shouted Robin.

"I can't believe that she did more damage that I expected to friend White Beast Boy!" shouted Starfire.

"Man she is my little sis but she dare to hurt my little brother! How dare she!" shouted Cyborg angrily.

"No, don't do this to her." begged White Beast Boy sadly. This again surprised the others again.

"Why? She hurt you." said Robin.

"But she is the source of my power! Without her I will never gain the white cloak and banish Brother Blood for good!" said White Beast Boy.

"Robin, didn't you remember what I told you in the party? When somebody truly loves another one, they will love that person even if they broke their heart! You may think I have the same thing towards Terra but no, I have been fooling myself that is why I don't love her when she betrayed us! Robin, do you remember when Red X reappeared? Starfire still love you just like what I have said to you during the party!" explained White Beast Boy sadly.

The others were shocked by the info told by their friend, they sighed as they realized that White Beast Boy was right.

"I love Raven." said White Beast Boy "Even if she hurt me, throw me out of the window or push me away, I still love her and I will never, ever stop. That is why I keep coming back for her"

Robin, Starfire and Cyborg were touched by White Beast Boy's speech. He was the strongest person, much stronger than Raven they have ever met. He still loved Raven even if she mistreated him.

"Friend, you are very strong." commented Starfire.

"Yeah man, I'm glad to have you as my best friend." said Cyborg.

"Okay White Beast Boy, we will not discharge Raven from the group. But we will only forgive her when she apologized to you. Now get some rest, White Beast Boy." said Robin before he and Starfire and Cyborg left the room.

After they left, White Beast Boy half-closed his eyes. Tears started to well up in his eyes as he felt the pain when Raven left. Later, a single warmed tear slide in his cheek. Before he slept, he looked up the ceiling sadly.

"I wish that you could feel the same way about me Raven." he whispered before he fell into a light slumber.

Raven felt tears running down her cheeks freely before she broke down into sobs as she saw everything through her dimensional mirror. Voices echo around the room as she cried for her cruelness.

She now understood how much pain she had caused by saying those mean words toward White Beast Boy. She never knew that the impact of her words will cause so much pain toward White Beast Boy. Yet White Beast Boy has been very patient and he continued to love her, which she didn't understand. She knew that if she won't apologize for what she had did, she may kill White Beast Boy.

Arella was watching everything in them mirror as well. She was sad because White Beast Boy nearly have to be dead to show how wrong Raven was. She was shocked that White Beast Boy begged the others not to discharge her from the team. She knew that she must told Raven why White Beast Boy got the white cloak in an alarming rate.

She walked up to Raven and patted her shoulders. Raven looked up to Arella; her eyes were red and puffy.

"Raven, you know what, he gained the white cloak very fast because he loves you. Love is the true way of getting strong, he loves you very much, and that is why he can have the white cloak in a short period of time. Like I love you so I have the white cloak already. You may have learned some very powerful magic but nothing could compare to the power of White Beast Boy. I must say that you are wasting your time here. The simplest way to get strong is to apologize to him and love him back. If not, he may get killed and you will be too late for that. He is a very special person; he truly loves you which I am very touched at. No matter how much you hurt or push him, he still loves you. I must say that you are very lucky to have this person. Now go back to apologize to him. You really hurt him." said Arella. With that she left the room for Raven to think.

Raven though about Arella's words. She was right; she was just wasting her time here while she never had regret for what she had done. She snapped, she must go back apologize to White Beast Boy. She decided that she will leave immediately.

"I'm so sorry White Beast Boy." said Raven sadly "Please don't hate me, I need you so that I can be loved again and never felt lonely again. Please forgive me, I'm so sorry that I left you, said you are stupid, immature and annoying and hurt you. I will do anything to have your forgiveness."

With that, she packed as she prepared for the trip back to the Titans Tower.
