Chapter 10

Raven's Got a Gun

A/N: Surprise! Surprise!! I couldn't just leave you guys with nine one-shots!! I had to give you more! Just like you wanted! Enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans or "Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith (AMAZING song by the way)

P.S. This story is an alternate universe which features Garfield Logan and Rachel Roth, but it's told in Gar's Point of View

P.S.S This chapter is for you Dude Your Awesome8 I REALLY hope you like it :D

WARNING: This chapter is VERY graphic and includes some disturbing material. It does have indications of rape (no direct images) but if that offends you, I am warning you now. Do not take this chapter seriously, just look at it for the emotional story I was aiming for. I do not wish to offend anyone with this chapter.

I remember that night so clearly, I mean how could I forget? She came running to my door, in the pouring rain, crying her eyes out.

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun

[Earlier that night]

I was watching T.V. my favorite show; "The Office" waiting for a call from Rachel to see if she was still looking forward to our date tonight. I had it all planned out. We would have a nice dinner at some fancy Italian restaurant .Then we would go bowling at the "300 Club" If she was in the mood. And then we would take a nice walk through the park, and stop by the fountain, where I would finally pop the question after 3 years of dating. It was fool proof! How could it fail?

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....

Then all of a sudden I heard a loud banging at my door. I could of sworn, I thought I was being arrested or something! I paused the T.V. and lazily dragged myself off the couch and headed for the door. I opened it and I felt two slim and shaky arms wrap themselves around me. I was taken by surprise, especially when I heard Rachel weeping uncontrollably. I hugged and patted her back soothingly as I pulled her in from the pouring rain.

"Rachel what's wrong?" I asked softly, as if I was talking to a small child

"I-I-I K-killed h-him G-G-Gar" Rachel responded through major lung spasms

"What? Killed who?" I asked in shock after hearing she "killed" someone

"M-m-my d-dad" She answered before she hugged me and cried on my shoulder.

Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun

I brought myself out of my shock and hugged her back tightly and comfortingly. I hushed her lightly as I kissed her pale cheek lovingly. I felt her shake violently against my embrace and I could feel that my shirt was soaking wet, but I couldn't have cared less about the shirt or the situation. Right now the love of my life needed me and that was just what I was about to do.

"Rae, I want you to calmly tell me what happened. Can you do that for me?" I asked her barely above a whisper. She sniffled and wiped her sad beautiful blue-purple eyes before giving me a nod.

"What happened Rae? What made you…..you know" I trailed off, not wanting to upset my delicate black-rose in front of me.

What did her daddy do
What did he a put you through

"H-he was an awful man Gar. He r-r-raped me!" She cried loudly and brokenly. I felt my blood run cold. Did I hear her right? Did she say rape!?!?

"H-he what!?" I asked a little too loudly startling Rachel a bit. I calmed down and apologized quietly.

"He has been, ever since my mother left him" Rachel said through the waterfall of tears running down her face.

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath the train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

"Rachel, why didn't you ever tell me?" I asked sadly, a bit hurt that she never trusted me to tell me about this….this…..situation

"I didn't want to worry you" She cried again. I felt offended, how could she ever think something like that?!

"Rachel how could you think something like that? I love you. Whenever you get a paper cut from reading one of your books, I worry!" I exclaimed quietly

"I'm sorry" She apologized sadly. I sighed before embracing her again

Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do

"Tell me exactly what happened" I asked carefully, just in case she didn't feel like talking.

"He came back home last night….drunk" she began, I merely nodded my head

"And…then he…he…." She began to cry again

"It's ok…you don't have to finish" I told her reassuringly

He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane...yeah
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the reign

"So I took his gun…and while he was watching TV….I s-shot him" she finished grimly. My eyes went wide. I couldn't believe it. My fragile Rachel killed a man. A terrible man, but a man none the less.

"I drove him to the train station and placed him under one of the cars" she continued.

"Then it began to rain and I ran all the way here" she said as I wiped some of her tears away from her eyes

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away...wooh

"Now you must think I'm a m-monster" She sobbed harder as she turned her face away. I felt an overwhelming feeling of guilt and sympathy for her.

"Rachel, I could never think you're a monster. He was a monster for what he did to you! As a matter of fact if you told me sooner, I personally would have taken care of him! I don't care what you do, I will never stop loving you" I told her honestly, she looked at me, and for a second, literally a millisecond, I saw he give me a small sad smile. I couldn't help but smile back. She leaned up to me and kissed me ever so softly on my lips. I kissed her back but to my disappointment she pulled away.

"I love you too Garfield" she smiled again, this time I gave her one of my trade mark grins. But then reality struck me, and I frowned.

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.

"Rachel?" I broke our silence

"Yes?"

"Where did you put the gun?" I asked cautiously

"I dropped it…wh-"

"Where did you say you left your car?" I interrupted her

"I left it….oh no!" She realized where I was getting at. I hugged her tightly

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same

"Don't worry, I got an idea" I assured her and felt her relax in my arms. I smiled, I knew she trusted me, and there was no way I would disappoint her. Especially not right now. I got up and kissed her on the lips.

"I'll be right back. I promise. Just watch some TV and relax. I won't take longer than 15 minutes." I smiled at her lovingly before running outside in the pouring rain. I turned on the ignition of my car and drove off to the train station Rachel was talking about.

Man it was really raining cats and dogs outside! I could just imagine how hard it must have been for Rachel to run through all this rain. But I'm glad she did. She really needed me, and I'm proud to say that I was there for her, which is why I'm about to do what I'm about to do.

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I pulled my car over and ran for the nearest train car. I looked around and saw Rachel's car still there. I ran for her car and went straight for the rear bumper. I used all my might to try and pry her license plate number off. But I kinda forgot to work out this week, so I knew my raw strength wouldn't get the job done. Luckily the train car next to me had a pry bar hanging off it. So I used the pry bar and ripped the entire bumper off her car. I went to her front bumper and pried off her front license plate and threw both the license plates in my trunk.

Run away, run away, from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

I went over to Rachel's dad and flinched a bit at the sight of him. I held my breath closed my eyes and grabbed Rachel's gun off the floor and placed it in her dad's hand. I made sure to make it look like a suicide instead of a murder. I quickly hopped back in my car and drove off back home where Rachel was waiting for me.

Janie's got a gun
Janie got a gun

I walked inside and saw Rachel there in front of my TV. I saw that she was reading one of the books she gave me as a present, and I smiled to myself. I tip-toed to my drawer in the living room and pulled out a small velvet box. I know it seemed kind of selfish to ask her to marry me at a time like this, but I think it'll prove my point that I don't care what she did, I will always love her. Hopefully my logic works just this once.

Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

I walked to my pale, Raven-black-haired lover and planted a loving kiss on her cheek. I looked down at her and saw her smile at me, a real smile.

"Feel better?" I asked naively

"To be honest; No…." She answered gloomily, I frowned sadly, but put on a brave face.

"I understand. Don't worry Rachel I'm here." I reassured her as I placed a wet but loving arm around her shoulders as I took a seat next to her on the couch.

"And I don't plan on leaving your side ever!" I exclaimed boldly. She looked at me shocked for a second, but it quickly turn to the smallest smile. I kissed her and handed her the velvet box and a small note that I quickly scribbled up a couple of seconds ago.

"Rachel, now that I told you that, I got this question for you that's been bugging me for the past few months." She looked a t me curiously and anxiously as I bent down on one knee.

"Rachel will you m-" then of course fate decided that now would be the best time for the police to ring my door bell.

Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun

I opened the door and there stood two officers. One was a very tall and well built, bald African-American male and next to him was a shorter Caucasian male with dark sunglasses. I took a deep breath and knew that the shorter of the two used way too much hair-gel.

"Garfield Logan?" The shorter officer asked me

"Yeah?"

"I'm Detective Dick Grayson and this is my partner Victor Stone" The detective introduced himself

'Heh heh heh. Dick'

"Is there a problem?" I asked, trying very hard to keep my cool

Now everybody is on the run (honey, honey what's your problem?)
'Cause Janie got a gun (tell me it ain't right)
Janie got a gun (Was it daddy's cradle robbin')
Her dog day's just begun (that made you scream at night?)

"We need to ask you some questions" Victor Stone told me calmly as he turned me around and placed me in hand-cuffs. I saw Rachel run out from the hallway and towards me. She hugged me as tightly as she could, obviously not wanting me to go.

"Please officers! Don't arrest him! I-It w-wasn't him! It was m-"

"Don't listen to her, she's just feeling a bit under the weather." I interrupted as the two officers gave me a questioning look.

I turned back to Rachel and gave her a comforting kiss on the lips and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry, I got an idea to slip us out of this" I winked and smiled sadly at her as they took me their police cruiser. I watched Rachel cry on my front porch as another police officer wrapped a blanket around her and took her inside. I felt that sickening feeling of guilt grow in the pit of my stomach again.

Everybody is on the run
Janie got a gun Janie got a gun
Her dog day has just begun
Everybody is on the run

"Don't worry Rachel, I'll be back" I whispered to no one in particular

A/N: Yeah….I pushed the envelope a bit with this chapter, but I had to do it. Just like Aerosmith did with that AMAZING work of art "Janie's Got a Gun." Unfortunately, in this sick and cruel world we live in, young girls are abused : (

But I did NOT write this chapter to offend anyone in ANY way shape or form. Just merely for people to feel sympathy for all those poor girls who have been abused : (

If any of you are being abused by someone, or if you know someone who is; DON'T keep it a secret! Tell a trusted adult or officer! Who ever is abusing you CAN NOT get away! And of course, to any of you who are being abused, I feel your pain and believe me, I wish for the best for you. Because NO ONE deserves this. But I will always be someone who understands you : )

Anyways, read and review…and I PORMISE there is one more chapter left in this story (a MUCH happier one too) before I dedicate myself FULLY to "Master of Puppets" ; )
