Hi everyone, I'm back! I'm glad you guys like this story! ^^

I really liked writing this chapter because like the other chapters because I have been envisioning it for a really long time! If it seems confusing, don't worry, it'll all make sense later. I can't tell how many times I've read and re-read this chapter along with editing and editing it over and over.
Like I mentioned in the previous chapter, I can't help but think that I've somehow lost my touch; maybe not idea-wise but detail wise. I don't know, what do you guys think?
Even now, I can't help but feel that I can somehow do better...Curse my perfectionism...

The next two chapters are gonna be kinda filler, but chapter 10 is gonna be really cool! Spoiler alert: it's gonna have an old enemy visiting! To be honest, I've already finished chapter 7 and am now in the middle of chapter 8. I'm typing as fast as I can but a writer can only go so fast...-sigh-
Now, I know that BB has feelings for Rae but they're gonna seem one-sided for a while until the end.

If you readers don't know already, I've published my first Bleach story! Yay! And I was wondering if you guys/girls would like to read it, if you do, it's called "Sayonarra Ichigo!"

Disclaimer: I own nothing...
On with the story...

Chapter 6: The Scar

"I'm sorry but I think that there has been a big misunderstanding. Perhaps I have neglected to tell you, I have no intention of becoming a Titan again."

The Titans looked at their fellow Titan (which in this case would not be) with shocked looks. The room was deafening silence aside from the quiet hum of the refrigerator and the gentle wind that howled lightly. Raven gave them her signature expressionless look; yet, oddly it held a glint of truth. It took a moment for the Titans to register what the empath had said.

"What-what do you mean you don't want to be a Titan again?"

"I didn't come back to assist you all in fighting crime and be a Titan again. I came for my own reasons, nothing more. I'm sorry", Raven said, not sounding apologetic at all. Her monotone voice was deadpan and slightly condescending.

"I have little over a month before I have to leave again. However, I do not plan on returning again. Ever." Raven told her former teammates and it looked as though the wind had been knocked out of them.

"A-a month? That short?" Robin's asked shakily. Raven responded with a simple nod of her head, as if it were nothing.

Raven looked at their faces; shock was slowly being replaced by realization, sadness, and loneliness. Starfire was on the verge of tears and fighting to hold them back and Cyborg still looked shocked until turned away from her gaze, his fists shaking. Robin was still processing what she had said and slowly the look of acceptance began to creep on his masked face while Terra stared at Raven with her mouth agape. And Beast Boy, who stood to the left of Raven, was unable to comprehend what he just heard; a mixture of all the negative emotions on his face and body language, looked the worst out of everyone.

"There isn't...anything we can do...to change your mind?"

"I'm afraid not."

"I see. Since you're going to be here for a little while, do you have anywhere to stay?" Robin implored, trying to regain his composure and failing. Acceptance and sadness was clearly seeping into his voice.

"Would you like to stay here? You could help us fight crime like before and you'd be temporarily re-instated as temporary member?"

Raven's face softened slightly before she answered, "If I will not be imposing, will it be acceptable?"

"Y-yea", Robin's voice cracking slightly as he struggled to compose himself.

"Well, um...enough being emo. This is a party, so why don't we celebrate?" Beast Boy said putting on a false-smile and loosening up, in an attempt to liven up the room.

However, his body language and voice betrayed him, revealing despair.

After what had been an agonizing five minutes, the Titans had perked up a little and started their welcoming party. The atmosphere had been awkward and quiet. Looks of false-happiness and hope were plastered on the Titans' expressions as they tried to cope with the reality of their situation. They glanced at the empath every now and then. Their gaze would be averted whenever she would make eye contact. Starfire's eyes swelled with tears every time she glimpsed at her best friend and would turn away quickly. Raven stood by the table, occasionally taking some of the food and nibbling at it, unmoving as a statue. As the party went on, it seemed to get worst. Eventually, the Titans had enough of the depressing party and prepare for bed.

+Beast Boy's Bed Room+

Beast Boy tossed and turned on his bed, unable to forget about the events that had transpired only hours before. He grunted as he lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. Raven's voice echoed in his mind, replaying over and over.

'"I have no intention of becoming a Titan again..."'

'"I do not plan on returning again."'

'"Ever...'"

The green Titan shot up, beads of sweat beginning to drip down his green face. He glanced at his digital clock again, which read 1:54. Beast Boy sighed as he got up off the bed and scratched his head. He was too anxious to sleep, so the green Titan opened the door and walked down the hall, quietly passing by the other sleeping Titans rooms. Beast Boy kept walking until he passed by Raven's room again. He stood by the door, staring at sadly and wishing he could see what was happening beyond the door. Staying quiet, he leaned against the door hoping to hear the sleeping Azarathean.

'Raven...Why are-?'

His thoughts were quickly cut short when he heard voices in Raven's room. He backed a few feet away from the door, uneasiness rising in his stomach. Beast Boy's suspicions rose when he saw a faint blue light filtering through the crack of her door. The suspicion was quickly being replaced by curiosity as he saw the light blink, so he turned into a mouse and slipped under Raven's door. Although the crack was a bit snug, he managed to slip through and look around Raven's room.
He was shocked to find the room full of Ravens! All of them wearing different colored cloaks: a pink-cloaked one, an aqua colored one, lavender one, navy blue and the crimson cloaked one, while the real Raven sat on the bed, her back facing the door.
Even more strange than the room full of Raven look-alikes, was that that Raven's long dark purple hair parted revealing her bare back that faced the door as she held her black cloak close to her chest and it wrapped around her lower back.

'What's going on here? Raven...?'

"Wow! The outside world feels great! I haven't been out in so long!" The pink-cloaked Raven grinned as she stretched her arms. Her preppy voice and energetic disposition seemed familiar to the young shape-shifter.

"All I wanna do is tear everything apart," the crimson-cloaked one growled.

"I think our room is lovely", smiled the lavender cloaked Raven.

"I already know all of this and I've already read this!" sighed the aqua one as she picked books from the shelf and returning them.

The only one that hadn't spoke was the navy blue cloaked one, who sat beside the bed with her head facing the floor and having the most defeated look ever.

"Enough. There is a reason that I summoned you all here", the real Raven spoke.

The Ravens stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Raven glanced at the aqua cloaked twin before she gave her a reassuring look and told her, "Don't worry Sagacious, I put an enchantment on the room. So we can make as much noise without waking the others. No noise will escape this room."

"Yay!" The pink cloaked Raven jumped up and down.

It took a moment before Beast Boy recognized the pink-cloaked Raven and who the other Ravens were. Obviously, the multi-colored Ravens' were the real Raven's emotions. And the pink twin was Raven's emotion, Happy but he didn't recognize the other emotions to the exception of Rage. But why Raven summoned them and how, he did not know.

"Happy, refrain yourself. Just because you can make noise, doesn't mean you shouldn't" Raven lectured.

"Okay, Rae-Rae!" Happy grinned, her smile reaching from ear-to-ear while she skipped around the room and looking at the antiques.

Raven glanced at the crimson-cloaked Raven, known as Rage, to make sure she was well-behaved. Rage sat in a chair at the corner of the room near a bookshelf on Raven's left. She was angrily gripping at the armrest and glaring at Happy and the navy blue-cloaked girl.

"Can we get on with this? I'm getting irritated!" Rage snarled.

"Yes, good suggestion Rage. Mistress?" Raven, however, still had her back facing the door.

Raven nodded and glanced to her right, meeting the lavender eyes of another emotion, Love.

"As I said before, I summoned you emotions here for a reason" Raven's tone serious.

"Yes. The time is almost upon us", Sagacious commented.

Beast Boy had a confused look on his face until he saw Raven's back and a look of horror crossed his face. A large scar stretched diagonally on her back, running from her right shoulder to her left hip. The scar looked like claw marks because there were three other marks parallel to it and was glowing red.
Sagacious and Love's hands muttered something and a blue light emanated off their hands as Raven sat still. The two emotions brought their hands an inch from Raven's back.

"Ah!"

"Sorry, Mistress" the two apologized but Raven remained silent.

"Don't apologize to her! It's her own damn fault for not being careful!" Rage yelled from the chair, her eyes flaring crimson.

"You know as well as I do that that attack was unavoidable," Raven narrowed her eyes before continuing. "We were lucky to gotten away at all; that attack could rip through dimensions."

Rage glanced to the side before going quiet and silence filled the room, aside from Happy's quiet humming.

"Why do we even bother? It's futile..." the navy blue cloaked one finally spoke; she had a dreary and melancholic voice.

"What was that?" Rage snapped. She got to her feet and glowered at her navy blue counterpart before snapping again.

"WOULD YOU TELL THAT EMO-LITTLE WITCH OVER THERE TO STOP BE SO GOD-DAMN PATHETIC AND MISERABLE?" Rage shouted as she pointed a finger.

"Calm yourself, Rage. I couldn't stop her if I wanted to." Rage sent her a small growl. "Negativity is all my negative emotions, fused into one."

"Hey, Rae-Rae. What I don't get, is why you thought that it would be easier to merge some of you're emotions?" Happy pondered.

"Greaaat...Happy! Now you're gonna get Miss-I-know-everything-and-you-know-nothing-smart-ass over there to answer!" Rage rolled her eyes.

"Sagacious, there is no need to answer Happy's question, it will be like trying to explain to a five-year old. There is no point", Raven said in a monotonously and looking at Rage in the corner of her eye.

"Y'know you've been so damn unbearable lately! I still can't stand all this self-loathing!" Rage snapped.

"Aw...Rae-Rae! That wasn't very nice! Now you're starting to act more like Negativity!" Happy pouted for a second before returning to her cheery disposition.

"..." Negativity slumped over and lay on the floor, looking like a pitiful creature. Negative's navy blue cloak blanketing over her body.

Raven remained silent while Sagacious and Love moved their hands up and down in a therapeutic manner and hoped to heal the scar. Happy's humming continued to buzz across the air and filled the silence. Rage finally managed to calm down and sat back in the chair in the corner.

She finally managed to ask in a calm-enough tone, "Do you think we can do it this time?"

"I don't know..."

Rage rose to her feet again, angry. "IT'S ALL THAT BASTARD'S FAULT! IF WE CAN'T DO IT THIS TIME, HE'LL ROB US OF ANY HUMANITY WE HAVE LEFT!"

'?' Beast Boy's mind was contorted even more by confusion and worry as a pang of anger hit him.

'Who-? Raven..?'

Everyone looked down and stayed quiet, even Happy completely stopped humming as she also looked down.

"Yes, you're absolutely right Rage. And that's why we returned." Raven said as she looked at her crimson-cloaked counterpart, seriousness in her tone.
Raven moved her back slightly as if to tell the two emotions to stop. Love and Sagacious withdrew their hands and looked at their Mistress' eyes.

"We managed to lessen it but I'm afraid it's still there and it'll return", Love informed Raven as she nodded. The two emotions got off the bed and stood by the bookshelf, next to Rage.

"Aw! Are we leaving already Rae-Rae?" Happy asked, still smiling.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. Thank you, all of you emotions" Raven said monotonously as the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile.

Happy and Negativity stood with the other emotions as they began to glow and energy swirled around them and they disappeared. Raven held her cloak close as she turned her head to look at the scar that slowly began to disappear from her back. The empath sighed as the scar disappeared from her skin, only to return again later. She looked at the moon that hung in the night sky; it's light shining on her face. Tired from the days' events, Raven let out a yawn before resting her head on the pillows and immediately falling asleep.

Beast Boy scurried further into Raven's room and stopping at the side of her bed, he reverted back to human form. He was shocked, scared, angry and sad at what he just heard while he looked at the sleeping empath's beautiful face. The green Titan shuddered as he tried to understand what just transpired. Morphing into a gnat and flying out the crack of her door, Beast Boy morphed back into a human again as he stood on the other side of her door. When he got back to his bed and laid down, his mind replayed the events over and over again, like a broken record. The Titan tossed and turned as he tried to sleep. Unable to sleep, Beast Boy laid still in his bed, anxious and shocked. His mind tried to comprehend what happened as he lay awake and awaited for morning.

End.
