The Green Freak (Reuploaded)

by CrashandSonic11

Yup, I'm reuploading this one too, but I'm still ending it on chapter 5, I originally intended on two alternate endings but decided that what I have right now on chapter 5 is probably better, if you want to make your own ending feel free to do so, the thought of a re-attempt at this story has crossed my mind, but I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to take the M-Rating route quite yet

5. Chapter 5

The Green Freak - Chapter 5: To Heal

Raven gripped the vulnerable green teen in her arms, he hadn't stopped crying yet.

He hadn't stopped shaking, he hadn't stopped ranting.

What was he ranting about you ask?

He was ranting about how much people hate him and how they were right to do so, that Raven doesn't really mean it when she said she loves him, simply because no one should love him.

Raven couldn't decide whether or not to listen to the ranting or to ignore it.

She had been constantly whispering the comforting words to him ever since he broke down, "I love you." She wasn't sure if it were working.

The other Titans and Batman only stared at them, Raven didn't care right now really.

She was going to try again, "Gar, look at me, please."

To her surprise he raised his tear stained face up to her, the tears were still flowing freely from his green, bloodshot eyes.

"Why am I this way?" He asked her.

Raven honestly didn't know how to answer his question, "Gar, whatever's wrong, we'll fix it I swear." He surprised her again and hugged her this time.

She heard him whimper, and she instantly hugged him back.

Then he spoke again in a broken tone, "It hurts…"

Raven tried to understand the statement, "What hurts? I can heal it."

He shook his head, "You can't heal this…"

She took his hand, "Let me try."

"I'm broken…"

"Then I'll fix it."

"Why?"

"You want to know why?"

Garfield nodded, "Why? If there's even a remote chance that you really do care, I want to know why." Raven pulled him close, Garfield taken off guard by the action.

"I told you why, I told you a thousand times now, I care because I love you, I truly do, it took me far too long to realise it but I do, I'm sorry it took so long, I-I just don't want to be too late…"

Garfield teared up again, but then Raven saw it, she couldn't believe it but there it was, he was smiling now, she was successful, she was healing him, not with her powers but with her feelings.

"I always loved you Rae, but there's no way in hell that I deserve you…

Raven had enough, she pulled him closer, and kissed him.
