Raven bolted down the hallway as lights exploded above her. She desperately attempted to hold back tears, but they continued to roll down her face. Seeing her room come into view, Raven phased through the door and slowed down to lean on the wall. Her breath was hitched, small sobs wracking her body. How could she let herself be so cruel? She led him on and ran off.

She couldn't let Beast Boy end up with her. He deserved someone who was capable of showing her emotions. Someone who wasn't afraid to give him everything. Raven could do neither of those. Objects in Raven's room began to float around uncontrollably. She removed her cloak, throwing it to the side. The nineteen year old cringed and leaned her back against the wall. She slid down to the ground, hugging her knees to her chest.

"Raven?" A feminine voice asked. Raven looked up, hearing Starfire's knocking. "Please, let me in."

Raven shook her head. She didn't want to see anyone. "Go away, Starfire," She replied.

"Raven, please," Starfire begged, "What happened with Friend Beast Boy?" Hearing his name sent a jolt through Raven's stomach. She bit her lip and buried her head in her arms. Starfire stood outside the door, hearing things explode. She sighed and pushed the door open with her abnormal strength. The door slid open, closing behind Starfire. The redheaded girl looked towards her friend, curled up next to the wall.

Starfire shook her head and walked over, sitting next to Raven silently. "I said go away," Raven said, her voice muffled by her arms. Starfire stared at her miserable friend, feeling her own heart ache.

"Please," Starfire said, attempting to ignore the objects flying around the room. "Tell me what has 'gone down'." Raven looked up with a raised eyebrow. Starfire's use of the English language was always a mood brightener. "Please?" Starfire said once more.

Raven exhaled slowly, gaining control of her powers. The room grew quiet as everything went back to normal. "I…" Raven began, "I can't be the person he deserves."

"Why not?" Starfire asked. "The person Friend Beast Boy 'deserves' is up to him and the people he trusts to give him the advice. I am your friend and his, yes?" Raven nodded. "I believe you two deserve each other. What is making you think different?" Starfire reached forward, placing her hand on Raven's back. Raven smiled sadly at her friend before looking down and shaking her head.

Raven mumbled, "I can't… I-,"

"Please?" Starfire asked.

Raven said, "I can't fully give him…" She groaned. "It's just… Ever since Malchior… I don't want to fall in love…" Starfire nodded with understanding. Although the Malchior incident happened four years prior, it was still evident how much it effected the girl next to her.

"This is Friend Beast Boy," Starfire pointed out. Raven looked up at Starfire with watery eyes. "He is kind and genuine. He would not hurt a gorflob." Starfire smiled.

Raven sighed. "But, Beast Boy is everything that I could never be."

"And that is why you complete each other," Starfire said. She looked at Raven before standing up. "I will let you rest. Please do think about this." Raven watched the girl walk through the door and out into the hallway.

Raven cleared her throat as she stood up. Walking towards her bed, she grabbed the cloak nearest to her. Draping it over her shoulders, she phased through the window that looked over the sandy beach and the bay. The wind whipped her hair as she flew towards the forest up ahead. If anything, she needed time to think alone.

Beast Boy trudged down the stairs of the tower, picnic basket it hand. How could he have been such a failure? He had one chance to show Raven what he felt and he blew it. The worst part is that he didn't even know what he did wrong, so that he could apologize for it. Walking through the hallway, Beast Boy saw Raven's room approach. He thought for a moment before turning and knocking on her door. "Raven…" He said. He paused. When there was no answer, he sighed.

"Raven, I'm sorry," he began, "I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for thinking that you liked me, for making you uncomfortable, for forcing you to play truth or dare… for bumping into you when we were both in towels and then talking about it now even though you told me not to… I'm just really sorry." He felt his voice crack. The desperation grew as his throat closed. "I'm just an idiot and I get it if you hate me now… Cuz, I kinda hate me right now. Just… please let me explain!" No answer.

Beast Boy's fee hand balled into a fist. He slammed the door and yelled, "Fine! Just, forget about it! I get it, I suck! You don't need to freaking rub it in my face, dammit!" The eighteen year old turned and trudged down the hallway, fighting back tears. He was so stupid. How could she ever forgive him for what he did?

The changeling burst through his door and dropped the basket, making the contents explode out onto the floor. "Shit!" Beast Boy cried. He kicked the basket and jumped up to the top bunk. Pulling his covers over his head, he shook with silent tears.

Robin walked towards the Evidence Room and turned to face the door. He made his way towards the table in the center of the room and furrowed his eyebrows under his mask. Turning his head to look around the room, he reached for his communicator. Raising it to his mouth, he asked, "Cyborg?"

"Yeah, man?"

"Do you have the cloak?"

"No… why?"

"It's missing."

"What?" Cyborg asked. Robin frowned and shook his head. He looked at the Evidence Table, noticing a strand of pink hair. His eyes narrowed and he grabbed the hair, holding it up to the light.

He spoke into his communicator angrily, "We gotta get to the Police Station. I think I know who's been in here." He huffed and turned to walk out the door.

Raven walked around the forest, her hood over her head to hide her tear stained cheeks. She was horrible to Beast Boy. The least she could do was apologize to him. Her eyes drifted up to the sky, noticing the setting sun. She sighed and reached out with an open hand. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" She whispered. A little ball of energy grew out of her hand, illuminating the forest.

She continued down the path of trees. It's getting darker… I should head back. Raven began to float up, only to have her own cape drag her back down. Raising an eyebrow, Raven attempted to fly up once more and was dragged back down just the same. "What…?" Her eyes went wide with realization. This was the cloak found under her bed. Grabbing at the clasp, Raven struggled to remove it from her neck.

The red jewel began to flicker red, beeping. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven yelled in attempt to phase through the cloak. The cloak remained around her neck, beeping and flickering. "Shit. Shit, shit, shit," Raven cursed.

"No need to struggled, dear Raven," a familiar voice cooed. Raven froze at the silky, male voice. Raven turned and raised her arms in defense. She gasped, seeing the hundreds of robots behind Slade. Raven opened her mouth to chant her mantra. "Your powers will not work when that cape is on you. They will only listen to me."

Raven's eyes widened even more. "Why?" She managed to choke out.

"Because you are my secret weapon," Slade said in his threatening monotone. "Trulok," Slade called. A man stepped forward. He was tall, his whole body covered with steel and metal. It glimmered in the moonlight, dark holes for eyes staring at Raven. "This is my friend," Slade explained, "He wants exactly what I want."

Raven looked between them. "What do you want from me?" She commanded.

"In time, dear Raven," Slade chuckled lowly. He snapped his fingers. The robots moved forward in response and surrounded Raven. "In time."

Welp! More to come, guys :) Thanks for all the reviews! Keep them coming!
