Chapter 7: The end begins

The sound of crumbling buildings roar in the background as Terra floats through the destroyed Jump City, waiting for the Titans, but moreover, Beast Boy. She slowly looks around, studying buildings that had been blown have way to hell by her and the Slade robots. She couldn't help but chuckle at her own destructive capability, seeing as all she had to do was flick a finger and the entire city would basically turn into dust. What could a pathetic little idiotic changling and a mentally unstable Goth witch do to stop her. Even if Raven could find a way to subdue her, the Slade robots would make quick work of her, but she wasn't planning on being subdued. The only thing she was looking forward to was watching Raven die and Beast Boy being used for Slade's little experiment.

She stopped floating as a boulder tumbled to the ground a few feet away to her right. A tall building that was only partially damaged stood and she saw several children huddled together inside on the first floor. Her eyes filled with sorrow as she floated over to them. When she approached the children began to cower. She held a hand out but they. turned from her and closed their eyes. The sorrow in her eyes grew as she turned from them and floated away from the building.

'Damn it…how could I…' She thought biting her lip. As she floated down the street, she kept repeating the words in her head, making herself reflect on them. Then she held her hand out behind her with out looking back. She did a crushing motion with her hands, and the building with the children in it came crashing down.

"How could I have missed them?" She called out loud and began to laugh.

"Having fun Terra?" A voice called out to her. Her smile grew as she heard Slade's voice over the little ear piece she wore.

"Thank you for this enhancement suit Master. I appreciate that you removed the nullification system as well." She said in a voice that resembled a daughter talking to her father. (The nullification system is basically how Slade was electrocuting Terra with the suit.)

"You are very welcome. But may I remind you that you need to be on the look out for our little green friend?"

She pouted. "Alright, I'll stop goofing around. I don't see the big deal about him though, he couldn't take me if I was blindfolded. Did we really need an entire army for this?"

Slade remained silent. Terra grew concerned but before she could say anything, he spoke again. "Be prepared." Was all he said as he ended the conversation.

'Be prepared? Prepared for what?' She thought and then continued her recon of the city.

Raven stood in front of her mirror, reflecting on the events that had transpired in so little time. In less than a week, she had found her feelings for Beast Boy, destroyed them, engaged them, and even made them grow. She found herself once again wishing for this to be a bad dream, that as soon as she opens her eyes, he'll be the same care free Beast Boy and she'd be the same gloomy Raven. They would still be friends and not talking about killing anyone. The only thing she could do was look down, having blinked so much that her eyes were watering, just to tell her that this was no dream. Things would never go back to the way they used to be. She could never reverse the way she felt about Beast Boy, and after that day, why would she? The washing machine incident entered her mind, causing her to blush and look away from the mirror.

'Damn…' She thought. She despised herself. Couldn't even look at herself in the mirror. So long she tried to hide these emotions. So long she tried to distance herself from everyone. So long she tried to hide that fact that she failed at both things a long time ago.

She jumped as someone knocked on her door. This got her frustrated. Until recently, she had never jumped. Hell, even the horror movies she watched with Beast Boy and Cyborg couldn't get a twitch out of her, and a knock at the door almost makes her leap out of her one piece.

"Come in." She called. This would be the first time she allowed any one in her room, and she knew if things went right it wouldn't be the last time. She smacked her forehead at that last thought before Beast Boy came in.

"You okay?" He asked striding in slowly, confused at why she would actually invite him in her room. She saw him looking around like he was in a whole new land.

"Looking for something?" She asked in a mocking sort of way.

"Yeah, I was wondering if you had any more hooter chick outfits you'd like to wear before we go." He replied walking next to her.

She slapped his arm playfully and for the second time, Beast Boy heard her laugh. When he heard her laugh, he felt as if the world was singing. That or his ear was just ringing. Either way, he thought that she had the most beautiful laugh in Jump City. But why couldn't he tell her that? Why? Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even think these simple three words until now.

'I love Raven.'

He knew he always did. But until now, he couldn't even think of it. Still, at this very moment, he couldn't tell her. It ate at him, every single day. Now wasn't the time for that though, at least, he made himself believe it wasn't.

"So?" He asked. She looked at him puzzled.

"How do I look?"

She rose an eyebrow. 'Honestly?' She thought blushing.

"What do you want me to say?" She asked.

"You can't tell? I put this army camouflage paint on." He said pulling out a small black can of green paint from some imaginary pocket his outfit had.

"Beast Boy, it's the same color as you." She said, her voice returning to its I-Don't-Give-A-Damn monotone. However, this time, she actually did give a damn. When she spoke Beast Boy seemed to droop a little. As Beast Boy moved to put the can back into…who knows where, Raven grabbed his hand. She slowly dabbed two of her fingers over the green face paint and made two parallel lines on both of her cheeks. For a second, Beast Boy just stared, not believing what Raven had just done.

"Like I said, I can get used to this."

"Well don't. This is a one time thing." She called back with a small smirk.

Their eyes met. Beast Boy once again found himself staring into those eyes. More beautiful than the sunrise to him, more calming than the sound of subtle waves flowing just below the rocks. His world meant nothing if Raven wasn't there, and he knew this more than anyone else. And that's exactly why he could never tell her his true feelings. He was afraid they would run her away. That the friendship he had formed with this girl would suddenly vanish if she even remotely thought that Beast Boy liked-no, loved- her to any extent whatsoever. But this pain he was feeling was tearing away at his mind. He couldn't keep going on like that. He wanted her for more than just a friend, much more. If time permit, he would actually want to wed this woman, and maybe even start a family. His eyes still held hers, until simultaneously they realized that Raven still held Beast Boy's hands in her own.

"I…I'm sorry…" She mumbled, barely audible to him. But no matter how hard they tried to look away from each other, their eyes kept drifting back into one another. In moments, they were facing each other, and Raven had taken a step forward. She placed a hand on his cheek. Her heart racing, she leaned up, prepared for her next action. Until the tower alarm destroyed the moment. Startled, they both turned away. However, something in Raven told her not to. She faced him again, only to see him preparing to leave the room. Her heart sank and she impulsively grabbed his wrist. Without turning to her, Beast Boy froze. Raven gasped. The warmth and kindness that she had been feeling from Beast Boy was gone. His mind was once again set on Terra. Tears threatening to fall at any moment, she released him, and watched him leave her room.

'Why…why does fate want us to be apart…' She thought, once again covered in her shroud. Was she never supposed to be loved, or love any one. Was this because of that curse. That damned curse. She clenched her fist. It was all his fault. Her damned grandfather. He was the reason why she could never find happiness. Now she felt the same rage as Beast Boy, and as she left her room, her thoughts synchronized with his.

'They'll pay.'

"Um…I guess you're next." A voice over the intercom called.

"Really dude? We're sitting right here." Cyborg said as he, Starfire, and a disgruntled Robin began to walk into the audition room.

"Please sir, the title of this moving picture is what again?" Starfire asked the man before they entered the room. The man sighed.

"Porn Wars: Revenge of the Dick. Make sure you go slow this time. We don't want what happened yesterday."

Starfire frowned. "Oh, please send the apologies to him while he is recovering." Robin and Cyborg shuttered when they thought about the guy from the day before.

To be continued in another story. IKITO!

Raven saw Beast Boy, already in the city standing atop a building that wasn't crumbling. She frowned, and even almost cried when she heard him speak. When he reached the city, he froze, and just stared down onto the streets, littered with innocent casualties. When she walked next to him, she saw that tears were raining down his cheeks, but his eyes still relayed the message that he wanted to finish this. Now more than ever. She knew it was the right thing to do, and even knew that she wanted to end it as well, so why was she getting the urge to just grab him by the back of the shirt, sling him to the ground, and pounce on top of him? Either she was completely not in the right mindset or…well, that was just it. She couldn't keep the thoughts from flooding her mind. That is, until she looked down and saw Terra looking up at them. Behind her were hundreds upon hundreds of Slade robots. A sinking feeling entered her stomach. If she could remember correctly, one Slade had almost the same destructive capability as the real thing, two could destroy Titan tower, and she didn't even want to think of what hundreds could do.

"Raven, I'm going in first." Beast Boy said still glaring at Terra, who was smiling and waving at the two.

"Hey guys, look what I did? Pretty sweet huh?" She called with an evil grin.

Raven saw Beast Boy tense and growl. She put a hand on his shoulder. He looked back at her, only slightly calming down, but she could still feel the rage he was trying to hold back.

"Stay calm okay?" She said, and then thought of the irrelevance of that statement. When was he ever calm? Well how about for the past couple of weeks. She found herself once again wanting to pounce on the green boy.

"She's toast, literally." He said and jumped from the building. Terra watched, expecting him to turn into something to stop the fall. When she realized he wasn't making an attempt to stop the fall, her eyes grew wide. Then Beast Boy flipped and slammed his fist into the ground. He stared angrily at Terra. After a while of glaring, he stood up.

"YOOOOOUUUUCH!!!" He screamed, his hand huge, red, and throbbing. He began running in circles with waterfalls of tears spraying from his eyes. Raven slapped her forehead again, and Terra just laughed sadistically.

"Same old simpleton." She sighed.

"Rake ah bwack!" Beast Boy called with his fist in his mouth. Raven remained where she was, waiting for something that made sense to happen.

"So you two showed up, but what's she doing up there? Are you gonna abandon him too? You finally see that he's a lost cause?" Terra shouted to Raven. Beast Boy looked up at Raven, but not to see her answer. She caught his eyes, and saw that he still wanted her to stay out of it. Raven just looked away, hiding her face beneath her hood and shadow. Terra laughed.

"Haha, wow, she really did give up on you! Now you see that I'm the only one you can trust BB-"

"Don't call me that." He called darkly. She frowned.

"What? BB? That is your name isn't it?" She chuckled.

"Only people I care about can call me that."

Now the smile on her face became a genuine frown. His words stung her for real, but were instantly replaced with that thought of getting rid of him. The sooner he was gone, the sooner she could let go of the past that she once wanted.

"Fine. If that's the way you want it. Any last words?"

"Last words to you? Yeah. Answer me this. Why? Why did you come back just to hurt me? Why would you go this far?"

"I'm just following orders from the guy who brought me back to life. Master Slade wants you so I'm going to deliver. It's the least I can do for what he's done for me."

"You were dead?" He asked, a tinge of hope entering his mind.

"Of course. Let's see you survive after being turned to complete stone. Actually, I can have that arranged…"

He ignored the comment and continued. "So Slade's controlling you?"

"Like hell. He would never try to control me. He even took out the nullification system in this suit. I'm gonna take you down of my own free will."

Rave listened, and thought about what Terra had said. Slade brought her back? But he didn't have that type of power, unless. Her eyes grew wide. All of it seemed so familiar. Slade had come back but with help. Which meant Slade wasn't in this alone. Almost instantly, she knew who was pulling the strings.

"If that's all, I think we should get this over with. You sure picked your last words crappy."

"No, you picked the last words you'd ever hear crappy." He glared at her again.

She lifted two boulders next to her without even moving. Then she hurled them at Beast Boy. He simply turned to the side to avoid one, and then turned and bent under the next. Afterwards, he returned to giving his death glare. She rose an eyebrow.

"You're not fighting? Don't tell me you still think there's some good in me!" She said laughing again. This time she was cut short as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Beast Boy was standing on the rock that she was floating on too, and had his fist buried in her stomach.

"I'm sick, of that damn laugh." He called in a monotone that was worse than Raven's. Terra dropped to her knees, clutching her stomach.

"How did you…" She was cut short again as this time Beast Boy kicked her in the face, sending her smashing into several Slade robots. Now the robots began to feel the threat that Beast Boy was. They began to move forward. He looked up to see Raven still standing on the building, but she looked concerned now.

"Don't worry…" He whispered, even though he knew that no one could hear him.

"This'll be a peace of cake." He said aloud. Right away he rushed towards the robots and began to cut through them with sparking hands. After destroying about a dozen of them, he stopped, now surrounded.

"How are you doing this?" Terra demanded, floating once again.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

Raven watched as he prepared for the biggest battle of his life. No matter how much she wanted to help, she knew this was Beast Boy's War. (lol, I had to do it.) And as she turned to search for Slade, she know felt her own war coming up. A war of emotions, for now it was time for her to face her grandfather.

Thus ends this chapter that practically took me half a year to type, and I still didn't put in what I wanted. (And I didn't break my promise! I said I would have the next chapter up this month, I just didn't say when.) I want to finish up next chapter, so I can get to a lot of things that people actually want to read.

First things first, this story does not end. Well, it ends, but there will be a sequel.

Second, no, the sequel is not the Starfire thing. That's another story in itself. So yeah, expect two different stories branching from this one.

Three, about the sequel, I don't know how far it's gonna go. I promised a lemon for this story, so the sequel might be kind of short since that arch will begin in this story.

Well, that's all. Thanks for reading, and expect a better chapter next month, I promise. This one was a rush. Until later, IKITO!
