Chapter 10

Beast boy kicked Ravens door because his hands were full. “Raven? Shadow?”
The door opened and a grim Raven stood before him. Her eyes lighted up slightly and she took the cups of tea from his hands. “Why didn’t you ask for some help? I would have helped you.”
He smiled. “Nah, it’s not a big deal. How’s Shadow?”
Raven rolled her eyes and let him see for himself. Shadow was currently taking all of the books off the selves and reading them.
“I told her she had to read all of them before the fight. She’ll be busy for a while.”
Beast boy laughed. “Being a little rough on her are we?”
Raven shook her head. “Not after she unleashed so much power. She’s got to learn to control it or she could blow up the city.”
Beast boy nodded. “Oh yeah, the guys are going to order some pizza, anything special you want on it?”
Raven shook her head and looked at Shadow who continued to read. “Anything’s fine.” she sighed and added quietly. “This week is going to be brutal on her. Trying to keep your emotions in check so that you don’t destroy things isn’t easy.”
Beast boy looked at Raven. Sadness crossed her usually placid features. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. “She’s got her sister here. She’ll be fine.” he whispered.
Raven nodded and relaxed against him. Shadow glanced up and smiled. She puckered her lips and made kissing noises.
Raven used her powers and stuck Shadow up on the ceiling with a pile of books. “Your staying there. If your lucky, I’ll bring you a piece of pizza.” she said, opening the door.
“Sis! Come back!” came Shadows voice and Raven walked down the hall with Beast boy.
Before they entered the lounge, Beast boy grabbed Ravens hand and pulled her back against him. “Your so mean to her you know that?” he asked, eyes shining.
“I think you pulled me back for something other than talking about how I treat my sister.” she smiled slightly. “So why don’t you just kiss me?”
Beast boy smiled and lower his lips to hers, kissing her lightly.
Raven smirked as he pulled away. “Next time you want to kiss me, just do it.” she turned and walked through the door with Beast boy close behind.

Raven walked back into her room carrying a plate of pizza. She looked up and saw Shadow sleeping on the ceiling. Raven smiled and set the pizza down and gently eased her off the ceiling and onto the bean bags. She covered her sister up and stood back.
Someone came up behind her and placed their hands over her eyes.
“Guess who?!”
“Beast boy.” she turned around to find the changeling smiling at her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly.
“How did ya guess?”
She smiled seductively and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer and whispered in his ear. “Only one person can touch me and set my body ablaze.”
He smiled and kissed her cheek. “Why don’t we go in my room and Shadow can sleep here.”
Raven smiled back and opened a portal below their feet.
~*~
Raven moaned as she woke up the next morning. she shivered and pulled the blankets closer to her body and looked at the changeling that laid next to her, his arm draped around her waist protectively. She cuddled closer to his bare body and sighed with content.
Beast boy’s arm tightened around her waist and she smiled. She placed light kisses on his chest and not long after, he stirred. His eyes opened slightly and he moaned when the sun shined in them and he tightly closed them once more.
Raven smiled and kissed him. He smiled against her lips and hugged her. He pulled back and looked her in the eyes. “I didn’t hurt you did I?” he asked quietly.
Raven shook her head and cuddled back up against him for warmth. It was silent until a knock came at the door.
“Beast boy?” came the uncertain voice that belonged to Shadow.
They froze. Raven made a motion to him to keep quiet and he nodded.
“BB?” the voice came again, slightly scared this time.
He sighed and dislodge himself from Ravens arms and jumped down from the top bunk. Throwing on a pair of boxers he went and opened the door slightly.
“Yeah?”
Shadow looked slightly relieved. “Have you seen my sister? She wasn’t in the room or anywhere else.” she bit her lip to stop herself from crying.
“She’s here. Just wait a few minutes ok?”
Shadow nodded and leaned against the opposite wall as the door shut once more.
Raven sighed and levitated down to the floor, picking up her scattered clothes and got dressed quickly. Before opening the door, she kissed Beast boy. He smiled and opened the door for her. Shadow lunged at her sister, knocking her back a few inches.
“I thought you had left me!”
Raven smiled and caressed the top of her head. “I would never leave you here Shadow.”
She nodded. “Oh yeah, Robin wanted to see you guys. He said something about getting a call from Slade and from Starfire’s brother. Slade has chosen the desert for the battle and Star’s brother said he would help us.”
Raven nodded and they headed for the lounge. Robin was talking with Starfire’s brother when they got there.
“So you can come?” robin was asking.
The guy on the screen nodded. “Mind you, I may be younger than Koriand’r but I can fight just as well if not better. I should be there at the end of your day.”
Robin nodded. “Alright.”
Raven came up beside him and smirked slightly. “Long time no see Ryand’r.”
His eyes widened. “Raven?” he asked dumbfounded. “What are you doing there?”
Raven rolled her eyes, “Please tell me that idiot isn’t going to be staying with us.”
Robin looked slightly confused, as did Beast boy. “You know him?” BB asked.
Raven nodded. “Unfortunately.”
Starfire, who had come up beside Raven, smiled. “Friend Raven was once betrothed to Ryand’r to bring peace to both our worlds. She never showed up for the wedding though.”
Raven smirked. “Like I would ever marry that idiot. Did you like my little messenger.”
“After the stupid thing stopped trying to poke my eyes out.” Ryand’r said, rubbing his eyes as if they still hurt.
She smirked. “Well, I am Raven now aren’t I? I had to send an appropriate pet.” Raven turned from the screen as Shadow tugged on her cloak. “Hm?”
Shadow grinned. “Want to go back training?”
Raven nodded and headed for her room. “No one is to enter. That includes you Garfield.” She muttered, grinning.
Beast boy blushed and Robin looked slightly confused. “Garfield?”
Raven pointed to BB without turning around. “He’s standing next to you, come on Shadow.”
They headed for her room while Robin stood staring at Beast boy.
~*~
A knock came at Raven’s door and she growled, ready to shoot whoever interrupted their mind battle. Beast boy stood in the doorway, looking rather afraid.
“What?”
“Ryand’r is here and Robin wants everyone in the lounge.” he said nervously.
Raven got an idea and reached out as if shoot him away. He went to back up but she had frozen him in place with her powers. She grinned evilly and walked so that she was almost touching his body. Sweat poured down his face as she got nearer, thinking that this was the end.
‘Maybe demons kill their mates.’ he thought, closing his eyes as she reached out.
What happened was exactly the opposite of what he thought. Instead of hurting him, she kissed him. The look of pure shock on his face as she pulled away made her burst out in laughter.
“I wish I could take a picture, it’s so funny!”
Because of her lack of concentration, the black power holding his feet fell and he tackled her back into her room and onto the floor. He pinned her hands down and grinned. “You are so going to pay for that.” he whispered huskily in her ear.
“Oh please.” Shadow said, walking over to the two.
Beast boy grinned and picked her up, tossing her out the door and closing it. “Tell Robin we’ll be along in a few minutes.” he said, turning back to Raven.
Shadow’s voice called through the door. “Fine, I’ll tell Robin that you two are making out.”
Raven, who had gotten up, froze. “Uh, were coming!” she grabbed Beast boy’s hand and ran out of her room and after her sister.
Shadow grinned as they entered the lounge, breathing a bit harder than they normally would. She winked at her sister before turning to the scene before them.
Starfire was currently hugging a boy younger than herself. “ Ryand’r! It is so good to see you!”
The young man smiled and hugged her back. “It is good to see you too Koriand’r.” he turned his smiling face to the others who had gathered and his face fell slightly when he saw Raven. Drawing himself back up, he walked over to her and bowed on one knee before her.
“Ah, The Dark Princess Raven. So we meet again.” he said.
Raven smirked. “Never thought it would happen. I thought that after leaving you standing alone that I would never have to look upon your face.”
“Has it only been two years since that day? You seem more changed than before. Though I am surprised you didn’t jump in my arms.” he smirked, standing up.
She rolled her eyes in response. “I only played the part for the sake of Azarath and you know it.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Beast boy started forward but was held back by Shadow’s powers. His growl was low and almost inaudible. Ryand’r neither noticed nor cared.
“You said that you cared for me Raven. Does that still hold true?” he said softly. The other Titans were slightly surprised by his open actions and Raven’s non existent attempts to get rid of him.
It started out low but rose as Raven laughed. “ ‘Cared for you?’ I didn’t care about you and I still don’t.” she pushed him a few feet away from her and took a few steps back to the still growling beast boy.
Robin took a step towards the changeling“Are you alright?” he asked.
Beast boy didn’t seem to hear him, his growling grew louder and understanding flashed in Raven’s mind. She stood in front of him and looked him in the eyes. His growling subsided slightly though not completely.
She whispered a few chosen words to him and he stopped. His whole body, which had been tense, loosened and he dropped to his knees, exhausted.
Raven gave a sigh of relief and knelt next to him. She reached out and caressed his face lightly. “You alright now?”
He nodded, looking at the floor. Robin knelt next to them as well.
“The beast?” he asked quietly.
Raven nodded and stood up. She held a hand out to Beast boy who took it and slowly got to his feet, wobbling slightly.
“What was that all about?” Ryand’r asked.
Both Starfire and Cyborg understood what had happened and didn’t say anything. They looked to Robin for instructions.
“Nothing that can’t be handled. Don’t worry about it. Raven, you want to take him to his room?” Robin asked.
Beast boy shook his head, “I’m fine Robin, don’t worry.” he leaned against the counter slightly.
“I think you should go lay down Beast boy.” raven said quietly.
He shook his head once more. “And leave you out here with him.” he said, jerking his head towards Ryand’r. “No way.”
Raven smiled and kissed his cheek, surprising everyone in the room except Terra.
“I told you.” she smirked.
“You got a problem with that?” Raven asked.
Terra shook her head. “Why would I?”
Raven smirked and slipped an arm around Beast boy’s waist. “Because I have reason to believe that you still like him. That and the fact that your emitting waves of jealously, anger, and pain all at the same time.”
Terra’s face grew slightly red. “I.. I am not.” she stuttered.
Raven opened her mouth to say something but sensing Beast boy’s awkwardness she remained quiet.
Ryand’r was first to break the silence. “So... Who’s this Slade guy anyways?”
Robin started briefing the young Tamarainian while Raven turned away from the glaring Terra to Shadow. “Come on, we have to finish our battle since someone interrupted it earlier.” She said in her monotone voice.
As they left, Beast boy hesitantly started after them only to come in contact with a barrier.
Raven glanced back and shook her head. She followed her sister through the door and they closed behind her.

“Sis?” Shadow asked as they finished their mental battle.
“What?”
Shadow bit at her nails. “Would you be mad if I asked you something?”
Raven looked over the top of her book. “Depends.”
Shadow crept over to where her sister was sitting. “Are you... are you... ya know?” She poked her sisters stomach.
Raven’s eyes grew wide. “How did you... you haven’t...” she stuttered. “Have you told anyone?!”
Shadow’s eyes sparkled with happiness. “Sissy does that mean your... pregnant?!”
