Chapter 8
Shadow appeared out of nowhere and attacked Slade from behind. The attack wasn’t as powerful as Ravens but she was desperate to save her sister.
As the black power hit Slade, he dropped Raven and turned around, looking for his attacker. He spotted Shadow and grinned.
“The other Dark Princess has come to play. Your father will be please to know that I found you.” Slade was hit from behind once more and saw the rest of the Titans heading for him. He shook his head and disappeared.
“RAVEN!” Beast boy screamed as he neared the fallen girl. He dropped beside her, lifting her gently. “Raven, please, wake up.” he pleaded. He placed his head to her heart and heard the slow beating. “She’s still alive. Raven, please wake up.”
The dark girl remained silent. Cyborg came up beside him. “We need to get her back to the medical room A.S.A.P.”
Beast boy nodded and picked her up, supporting her neck. He carried her quickly to the T-car and they were speeding off to the tower.
~*~
“Is she going to be alright?” Shadow asked, holding her sisters hand, her eyes full of tears.
Cyborg looked over her status. “I’m not sure. She’s used up most of her strength and Slade did a number on her neck.”
Beast boy sat on the opposite side of Raven, head down not looking at anyone. He held her hand tight in his and when the others left, only Shadow, Terra and himself remained.
Terra set a hand on his shoulder. “Come on Beast Boy, lets leave Shadow with her sister.” she said quietly.
Beast boy shook his head, still remaining silent. He hadn’t said a word since they had gotten into the car.
Terra pulled at his arm. “Come on.” she said.
Beast boy suddenly stood up and faced Terra. “I suggest you leave, now.” he said in a cold voice.
“Beast boy what happened to you? I thought you loved me!” Terra said, tears spilling over her cheeks. “I love you!”
Beast boy shook his head. “After you betrayed me you expect me to care for you?! I barley even consider you a friend!” his hands shook with anger and he clenched them.
Tears continued to stream down her cheeks. “I said I was sorry! I helped you in the end didn’t I? I’m helping you now!”
“A few good things doesn’t make up for breaking someone’s heart Terra.” he said wearily.
She dropped to the floor. “What happened to you? You used to be so funny and sweet and kind. Your just like Raven now!”
Beast boy crossed his arms, suddenly angry. “Raven is a lot better than you are! I think you’re the one that’s changed Terra.”
She pointed at him, eyes wide. “Your in love with her aren’t you?!”
Beast boy fell silent, his eyes traveled to the sleeping girl. “I am.” he said almost inaudibly.
Shadow, who had remained silent, smiled she let go of her sisters hand and hugged Beast boy. “I knew it. You can’t keep things hidden from a kid like me.” she smirked. “Now all we have to do is get Sissy to admit it.”
Terra sat, stunned on the floor. Shadow rolled her eyes. “Get over it girl! He doesn’t like you!” she stood with her hands on her hips. “Go see Aqua lad, he seems perfect for you, your both stinky.”
Beast boy stared at Shadow in amazement. Terra stood up and growled. “Shut up you stupid little brat.” she went to hit shadow but Beast boy pushed her behind him.
“Touch one hair on this girls head and I’ll kick you out of this place so fast it’ll make your head spin.” he growled.
As Terra stalked away, pausing at the door. “I won’t join Slade again because even though you don’t care for me, I still care for you.” she said quietly, looking at him.
Beast boy turned from her and took his place back at Ravens side. Shadow shoved Terra out and locked the door. “I hate that girl.” she said. She walked over to Beast boy and hugged him again. “Do you think Raven will be mad at me?” she asked, eyes full of tears once more.
Beast boy shook his head. “You saved her. Why would she?”
“Because my dad knows I’m here now.” she said quietly.
Beast boy hugged her tightly. “Don’t worry about it.” after a few minutes he added. “Shadow, can you leave for a little bit?”
She nodded. “Of course, but if my sister wakes up, can you please tell me?”
It was Beast boy’s turn to nod. She left and shut the door behind her. She leaned on the door for a moment, sighing. ‘At least he said he loved her.’ she thought, her frown turning into a grin. She took off down the hallway to the lounge to challenge someone to play against her.
Once Shadow had closed the door. Beast boy stood beside the bed once more. He reached over and caressed Raven’s cheek, tears trailed down his cheeks and fell upon her pale skin.
He lowered his lips to her ear and whispered. “Raven, you have to come back. The team needs you, Shadow needs you.” he paused. “I need you.” his voice barely audible.
Sitting in the chair, he allowed his mind to wander and soon he fell asleep.
~*~*~
Raven stood, surrounded in darkness and fog. “Hello?” her voice echoed back at her.
Realization hit. “I’m trapped in my mind again.” she rubbed her temples and sat on the ‘ground.’ “Beast boy, Shadow, I’m sorry.’ She buried her face into her knees and cried.
A hand fell upon her shoulder and she jumped. Looking up, she saw a sight that made her heart soar. “Beast boy!” she gasped, getting up and hugging him tightly.
“Raven, you have to come back. The team needs you, Shadow needs you. I need you.” The ghostly figure in front of her said.
“How? The fog is too thick, we’ll never get out.” she said, tears still in her eyes.
“I know the way, trust me.” he replied, caressing her cheek. “You do trust me, don’t you?”
Raven nodded. “Alright then, come on. Let’s go.” They walked into the fog and disappeared.
~*~*~
Raven slowly opened her eyes. Blinking a couple of times, she could see clearly and the light blinded her. Her throat hurt like hell and she had a major headache.
She went to sit up to find out that she couldn’t. Looking down, she saw the thing that blocked her way. Beast boy’s head was on her stomach and he was holding her hand.
Smiling, she reached out and trailed her hand down his cheek. His eyes fluttered open and he moaned, sitting up. When he looked at her, his eyes grew large and he enclosed her in a huge hug.
“God Raven, you scared me. I didn’t think you were coming back.” he said as he pulled away.
Raven smiled and gave a hoarse response. “You worry to much.” she rubbed her throat. “Would it be too much trouble to ask you to get some tea?” she asked.
Beast boy leaned down and kissed her lips softly. “I’ll be right back love.” he whispered before leaving.
It took a moment for his words to register. Then it hit her like a tone of bricks. ‘Did he just call me... no, he couldn’t have...’
Shadow came running through the door. “Sissy!” she threw her arms around her sister. “I’m so sorry. I know you told me to stay here but I couldn’t leave you alone. Now Daddy know’s I’m here!” tears fell down her cheeks as she looked up at Raven.
Raven brushed away the tears and cuddled her sister close. “Don’t worry Shadow. When he come’s, we’ll be ready for him.”
Shadow nodded and wiped away her tears with her sleeves. She then giggled. “Guess what?”
“What?” Raven asked smiling.
“I can’t tell you but it’s something good, really good!” Shadow said, now laughing.
“You little brat.” Raven tickled her sister. Beast boy walked back in the room.
“Looks like someone’s feeling better.” he said, handing her a cup of herbal tea.
She took a sip and smiled. “Much better, thank you BB.”
Shadow stared from Beast Boy to her sister and back. She grinned. “Hey BB, you gunna tell her what you told Terra?”
Beast boy’s green skin paled slightly. “Shadow, I sear if you say Anything, Anything to anyone including the person it pertains to, I will beat you! I may have saved you from Terra but no one can save you from my wrath!”
Raven looked slightly puzzled. “Did something happen while I was out?”
Beast boy shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. It’s something that won’t be discussing ever again.” he said, looking at Shadow.
She grinned. “Beast boy, can I talk to my sister alone for a little bit?”
He raised an eyebrow. “What about?”
“I promise I won’t say anything, I just gotta ask her a question. Honest!” she added upon seeing his disbelieving face.
“Fine, fine.” he walked out and shut the door. He placed an ear against the door and waited.
“I’m not asking her until you leave!” came Shadows voice.
Beast boy swore and walked into the lounge. He sat on the couch pouting.
“Hey BB, come play a game against me!” Came Jinx’s voice. He grinned and joined her.
~~~
“Now, what is this all about?” Raven asked her sister after she checked to see if BB was still out there.
Shadow sat on the bed. “How do you feel about Beast Boy?”
Raven blushed. “Why don’t you just read my mind and find out?”
“Because I want to hear you say it.” she grinned.
“Why is this so important all of a sudden?” Raven asked curiously.
Shadow sighed. “Sis, why are you afraid to tell Beast boy that you love him?”
Raven looked away. “Because, I was betrayed by a man who I thought loved me. It all turned out to be a lie.” she clenched her fists. “I refuse to go through that again.”
Shadow sat, silent for a moment. “Alright, I won’t bother you about it any more.” she took her sister’s hands in hers and smiled. “You better get well soon, you have a fight coming up in less than a week.”
Raven nodded. “My body healed itself last night. I can walk around and everything, just can’t use my powers until tomorrow.” She stood up to prove her statement. “Come on, lets go make sure Beast boy didn’t over hear us.”
They walked out and into the lounge. Raven smiled when she saw BB jumping up and down.
“Oh yeah, I beat you! Go Beast boy, go Beast boy. It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!”
Raven giggled and walked up behind him. “You might want to deflate that ego of yours.” she whispered in his ear.
Beast boy jumped and whipped around. “Raven! God you scared me!”
She smirked. “That’s twice now.”
“Should you be up?” he asked quickly.
“I’m fine.” she said, waving off his question as she sat on the couch. “Now, who am I playing against?” she asked, smiling and taking one of the controllers.
For the rest of the day, the whole group started a tournament. They went on and on until they reached the championship round which featured Raven and Terra. Members on either side of the girls cheered them on.
“Come on Sissy! Kick her ass!” Shadow shouted.
Raven furiously jammed combo after combo, not allowing Terra to retaliate. She jumped up cheering as she won the first round.
“Just wait, I’ll get you the next round.” Terra said through gritted teeth and she took the same route as Raven had, not allowing her to get up before attacking again.
“Yes!” Terra screamed. “I beat you!”
“There’s still one more round, bring it bitch!” Raven said as the next round began.
Since they had put no time limit on the rounds, they sat for an hour before Raven finally KO’d Terra.
“YES!” Raven grinned and jumped around as her sister and the others hugged her.
Cyborg lifted her up on his shoulders. “We have a new king, or should I say Queen!”
Raven grinned. “Alright, you can put me down now.”
Robin walked into the lounge, yawning. “So someone finally won? Great, it’s midnight so why don’t you people get some sleep?” he disappeared back through the doors and everyone agreed with him.
“Training starts tomorrow.” Raven said to Shadow as they walked into her room. Beast boy started walking by the door when Shadow grabbed his arm.
“Come on BB, sleep with us tonight!” she said, grinning.
“Come on Shadow, leave Beast Boy alone.” Raven said, hanging up her cloak.
He grinned. “Well, if ya want me to I will.” he said, not looking at Shadow but at Raven.
She blushed. “If you want.” she muttered, climbing into bed and getting comfortable.
Beast Boy grinned and walked into her room. Shadow quickly darted around him and out of her sisters room grinning. “Have fun you two, I’m going to stay in BB’s room!” she closed the door and locked it from the outside.
Raven glided to the door and tried to open it. “Shadow! Open this damn door!”
She heard her sister giggle from the other side. “Sorry sissy, I’m going to bed, nights!” Her footsteps became lighter and disappeared as she headed for BB’s room.
Raven growled. “That little..”
Beast boy snaked his arms around Raven and nuzzled the back of her neck. “She’ll let us out tomorrow, let’s just go to bed. Like you said, we got training tomorrow.”
Raven blushed but let him lead her back to her bed. She got comfortable as beast boy took off his shirt. “You don’t mind, do you?” he asked.
Raven just shook her head and turned her back to him to hide her blush.
He climbed in behind her and his eyes ran over her back. He smiled as she yawned once more and he fell asleep.
