Chapter 13

Raven weakened Trigon’s mind low enough to separate it from his body. She nodded to her sister and they both withdrew from their attacks. They encased Trigon in their powers to stop him from moving.
Raven levitated to one side of him while Shadow was opposite of her. They both took out the mirrors and chanted together.
“Aldruon en Lenthranell Losolaneeris Nor!”
Trigon stopped struggling to get free and instead, he let out a loud, roar, he fell to his knees. Then, a red substance flew from his body into Raven’s mirror and his body dissolved into Shadows.
They both landed on the ground, breathing heavily. Raven looked over to the Titans and noticed that they were on the ground. “Come on Shadow. Our work isn’t done yet.” With that, they headed off towards the figures.


Slade jammed his finger down on the button, waiting for the explosion of the underground bombs he had planted there.
When nothing happened, he started pressing it over and over again. “What?!”
Robin laughed. “You really think we would let you pick the spot without checking it out before the fight? We disabled all the bombs. It’s over.”
Slade started backing away but the Hive went behind him. He looked around and saw that he was surrounded. He jumped to get out of the ring but only came in contact with a black and white shield that surrounded him and all the Titans.
Raven and Shadow walked into the ring. “Give up.”
Slade laughed, it echoed inside the dome. “It seems that I shall be taken down but not without bringing at least one of you with me.” he said

*~*~ Dun DUN DUN!~*~*
(I’m not that mean, I won’t leave it there.)


Slade pulled a string that was attached to a bunch of pins of bombs on his belt. He laughed one more time before the whole dome collapsed and everyone was sent flying backwards.

Raven moaned as she sat up, rubbing her head. “What happened?” she asked out loud, looking around.
Robin, Starfire, Gizmo, and Jinx were gathered around a body. Robin glanced back at her and saw that she was awake. He walked over to her and helped her up.
“Are you alright?”
Raven stood, slightly off balanced. “What happened?” she asked once more.
“He’s gone for good this time, his remains are still all over the place though. And... we lost one.” he said, his voice dropping at the end.
“Who?” Raven asked, suddenly scared.
“It was...” He looked over to where Jinx sat, shoulders shaking slightly.
“Not... Cyborg?” Raven asked.
“No... it was Mammoth.” He said, making sure his voice was low enough so Jinx wouldn’t hear him.
A low moan came from their left, Cyborg sat up and immediately saw Jinx. He looked around and saw Robin.
“It was...?” he didn’t finish his sentence.
“Mammoth. You might want to go comfort her if you can.” Robin finished for him.
Cyborg nodded and slowly got to his feet. He walked over to Jinx and tapped her lightly on the shoulder. She looked up at him, eyes tear stained, and threw her arms around him. Cyborg cradled her gently in his arms, speaking low, smoothing words in her ear.
Robin gave Raven’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze and walked over to the small group. Her eyes traveled to the others still laying, unconscious. Shadow laid next to her, floating slightly above the ground in which Raven recognized as her body healing itself.
Beast boy laid not much farther away and Aqualad was sitting up, leaning against a rock.
Terra was no where to be seen and Raven was slightly suspicious. “Where’s Terra?” she asked Aqualad.
He looked up at her. “She’s gone to see if she can find any trace of Brother blood with Bumble bee.”
“Oh.” Raven walked over and kneeled next to Beast boy. She set a hand out over his heart and let her energy flow throughout his body. She let the power dissolve and she sat back, waiting for him to wake up.
Beast boy moaned softly and sat up. “Whoa, someone get the number of the bus that ran me over.”
Raven gave him a small smile. “The bus os gone for good.”
He looked up and grinned. “So everyone is fine?”
Her smile faltered. “No, Mammoth didn’t make it, he was the closest to Slade when the bombs went off.”
Beast boy sighed and looked over at the small group that had surrounded the fallen body. Terra and Bumble bee came flying on a rock over to the group. Bumble bee shook her head and walked over to Cyborg.
Terra walked over to Raven and Beast boy. “You alright BB?”
He nodded and raven stood up, holding out her hand. He took it gratefully and got up. He saw Shadow who’s body was just landing on the barren earth.
“Hey kiddo.” he said picking her up and setting her on her feet.
Shadow held her head, tears pricking her eyes. “My head hurts.” she moaned.
Raven wrapped her arms around her sister and looked towards Robin.
“Lets go home team.”
~*~*~
A few days later the Titans walked into the tower after Mammoths funeral. Jinx, who’s eye shined with unshed tears, sat calmly on the couch. Cyborg sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her, trying to comfort her as best as he could.
Beast boy set water on the stove as Shadow and Raven went to their room to get something. He watched Robin hug Starfire and Gizmo sit in the corner tinkering with another gadget though one could tell that he wasn’t putting his heart and mind into it. Terra sat in one of the chairs, looking out at the city.
Beast boy sighed as the door opened once more and the two dark sisters walked back through into the living room.
“Are you going to tell them?” Shadow asked in a low voice, Beast boy saw Raven nod and his eye traveled down to a small trunk that was levitating near her feet.
Beast boy walked towards her. “What’s going on?” he asked.
Raven took a deep breath and was suddenly aware of all the Titans eyes on her. “I have to leave for a while.” She said quietly.
Beast boy looked suddenly pained and then slightly relieved. “That’s ok, you can still come back.”
Raven shook her head. “It’s not that... I just don’t know when I’m going to be able to.”
Pain stabbed at Beast boys heart. “So, you could be gone for a few months?” he asked.
Raven turned away from him, unable to see his pained face. “No... more like a few years.” her voice barley audible.
Beast boy felt his heart break all the way. He shook his head. “You can’t.”
“Beast boy...” She said, walking towards him.
He backed away. “You can’t.” his voice getting louder.
Her outstretched hand dropped. “I have to.”
Beast boy bolted for his room, leaving the other staring after him. Raven looked at Shadow and she nodded. “Take your time.”
Raven melted into the floor out of everyone’s sight and appeared in Beast boy’s room. He was laying on the lower bunk of his bed, his back to her and muffled sounds came from the pillow in front of his face.
She walked silently over to him and sat next to him, lying her head on his back. “I’m sorry.” she whispered.
He said nothing and Raven felt the pain that was crawling through his heart. She wrapped her arms tight around him, crystal tears slowly pouring down her cheeks in silent waterfalls.
Beast boy felt her tears on his back and pulled her arms away from him enough so he could turn and look at her. Tears streamed down her beautiful pale face and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against his chest.
“Why?” he asked hoarsely.
A muffled answer came back. “I have to, it’s my duty to make sure Trigon can’t be brought back.”
He was silent for a moment then pulled her back to look at her again. “I know I shouldn’t be so selfish but I just want you here, with me.”
Raven gave him a small smile. “I’ll be back as soon as I can, I promise.” She whispered softly.
Beast boy nodded and pulled her back to him and gave her a deep, passionate kiss which she responded eagerly to. When they finally did pull away. Her eyes were filled with tears once more. He reached up and wiped them away.
“I’ll always love you Raven, always.”
She gave him a watery smile and nodded. “And I’ll always love you.” he kissed her once more and they walked to the lounge, holding hands.
The others had gathered around Shadow who had explained the situation. They looked up as the two walked in. Starfire flew at her friend and gave her a bone-crushing hug.
“I will miss you friend of mine!” She let Raven go, tears streaming down her face.
“I’ll miss you too Star.” After going through many more farewells, Raven turned back to Beast boy and took a deep breath and just smiled, unable to say anything.
His throat tightened. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and as she pulled away he brought her back and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her once more.
Though it was kind of expected, the other Titans were still shocked. As he pulled away, beast boy blushed slightly at the gapes they were receiving. He grinned and turned back to Raven. “I love ya.”
She smiled back. “I love you too. See you as soon as I can.”
“Bye.” he said, letting her hands go.
She walked over to Shadow and levitated her trunk once more. Shadow opened a portal and looked back at her new found family and said. “Later all.” before walking into it and disappearing.
Raven took one last look at her friends and smiled. “Bye guys.”She said quietly as she turned and walked through the portal. She vanished and the portal closed behind her.
“Good bye Raven.”
