Releasing Her Demons

By: Jedi_Zea

Summary: Raven finally decides to join the other Titans in a game, but it's not a video game. She wants them to play Dungeons & Dragons and decides to share something about herself while doing so. PG-13

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Dungeons and Dragons, any of the places I got my music from, or any other real things I may make reference to while writing this story. I do, however, own all the other characters except Natora, Saorise, Adrian, and Ivan Balthazar. (None of which will appear in this chapter)

(Author Notes) I will be adding OC's to the story and if you want one, send me an email describing him/her/it. I only have room for evil OC's now though, no more protagonists please.

Kinsha: I'm going to keep it going until I'm finished. And here's chapter 15 to help prove that.

Chapter 15

Beep beep beep. Beep Beep Beep. BEEP BEEP BEEP. Came a sound from somewhere down the hall. Beast Boy groggily rolled over, trying to block out the noise but he couldn't ignore it. `Who could sleep through that noise?!' he thought to himself. BB jumped out of bed and put a pair of jeans on over his boxers.

Beast Boy followed the beeping to Robin's new room. The door was shut, but the beeping was so annoying and Beast Boy was so tired that he didn't stop to think and walked in. The door slid shut behind him. It was pitch black in the room except for the glow of the alarm clock by Robin's bed. He groped around for a light switch for a few seconds. When he found the switch he quickly flipped it and the light in the ceiling dimly illuminated the room. The walls shocked the green Titan. He quickly turned off the clock and tried to fight the door only to find the door was painted on the inside too, and camouflaged into the scene. After feeling along the wall for a minute the he finally got close enough to the door for it to open. He ran out of the room and down the hall, to Raven's room.

(To: Robin & Raven)

Robin brushed the brush against the canvas for the last time, and finished the painting. “There, finally finished,” he stated. He stood back for a minute to look at his work. Raven walked over from the window and looked over his shoulder.

The painting showed Raven, horns, wings and all, standing on top of a stone tower. The glow from Jump City had been turned into an eerie glow of a burning city on the horizon. The sky was almost pitch black, with the exception of a moon shining down lightly onto the demoness. Raven herself was looking down onto a stand standing before her. Raven's eyes were glowing a dark shade of purple as she stared intently. The stand had a dragon skull on it, and on top of the skull was a crimson candle. Wax dripped from the candle and looked like bloody flesh on the skull.

“Robin, this is,” Raven gasped. She took a moment to regain her composure. Raven didn't want to let herself say anything stupid because of the picture. “It's very nice,” she complimented. She turned to look at Robin and gifted him with a rare smile and said, “It's beautiful, but I don't look as good as you made me in the painting.”

Robin chuckled softly, “Raven, the painting doesn't do you justice.” Raven blushed softly and tried to say something, but there was a loud knocking at the door before she could get the words out.

“Yo, Raven!” called Beast Boy from outside her room. “I need a hand.”

Raven let out a small-disappointed sigh and called out, “What do you want?” She turned to Robin and motioned for him to be quiet. He just smirked and advanced slightly on the irritated goth. Once Robin reached her he reached out and started gently tickling the dark goddess' sides. Her dress made it hard for her to laugh however because she had put the corset part of her dress on so tightly.

“You're the resident expert on creepy, so, well I kind of want you to look at something.” BB said. He knocked on the door again, only to hear Raven suppressing a laugh. “Dude! What's so funny?”

“Notehe, nothing's thehehe matter.” She said. “Stop it,” the laughing goth hissed to Robin. She moved around to try and get away from Robin, but he skillfully followed her every move. With the smirk never leaving his face.

“Raven, have you seen Robin's new room?” He asked curiously. “It's creepier then your room.”

“Beast Boy,” Robin exclaimed. “I told no one to go into my room,” he called while going over to the door and opening it. “No one was supposed to see that.” When the door opened Robin glared menacingly at the shrinking green Titan.

Raven hung her head and thought bitterly, `And now we're going to have a lot of explaining to do later. I just hope BB isn't thinking right now.'

“Dude, your alarm was going off.” BB countered defensively. He continued to back away slowly as Raven shook her head and walked over to quell the argument.

“Oh,” Robin managed to say, “Sorry I forgot left it on.” His face was still red with anger because of Beast Boy's unauthorized entry into his room however.

“His room isn't creepy, it's a beautiful expression of who he really is.” Raven said. She stepped between Robin and Beast Boy, facing Robin. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him back slightly. Robin reluctantly compiled by taking a step backward, but not taking his glare off BB.

“If you say so,” Beast Boy said and turned away. He took one step down the hall, but stopped. “Hey wait,” the confused Titan said while turning around. “What's Robin doing in your room instead of his?” he queried.

“You saw my room, right?” Robin asked. Before Beast Boy got a chance to respond he continued, “My project is painting my room. I also paint people, and after Raven saw my room I offered to paint her portrait.”

“And it took you all night to paint her?” the BB asked suspiciously.

Raven started to blush softly, but turned her head away before Beast Boy could say anything. Robin grabbed Beast Boy's arm and pulled him into the room. “Just about,” he stated evenly. “Look at it yourself and see how long you think it took.”

Beast Boy walked over to where Robin had been painting and looked at the masterfully done piece of artwork. “Whoa this is, it's, well it's sure something,” he said to Robin. “Still a little creepy though. What took you so long to get right?”

Robin walked over and stood behind Beast Boy. “Look at the painting,” he said. “What part of it are you instantly drawn to? What part instantly pulls your focus?” Robin asked insistently.

Beast Boy stood there for a second and looked the painting over a couple times. A few jokes ran through his head, but he decided better. Raven was in the room after all, and he didn't want to be castrated. Finally he sighed and said, “I guess Raven's eyes, and the dragon skull draw my attention the most. Although there are a few other things that I notice that I don't normally,” he chuckled.

Robin elbowed BB in the ribs for the joke, but laughed to himself about it. `Yeah Raven doesn't show her feminine side often enough. She really is beautiful, now only if she would only show it off more often,” he thought. “Her eyes are what I was trying to draw the viewer's focus to, but it took almost an hour to mix the exactly right shades of purple.”

“Dude it took you that long just to get purple?!” Beast Boy exclaimed. He shook his head in disgust. “If you would have just asked me I could have gotten you purple paint.”

Raven growled and glared harshly at Beast Boy, “There are dozens of different purples, he was trying to find the one that worked best.” Raven's glare now shifted over to Robin as she took her embarrassment out as anger towards both of them. “Now if you will both get out of my room I have to meditate,” Raven insisted.

Robin and Beast Boy looked at each other questioningly but neither one had the answer. Slowly they both turned and walked out of Raven's room. Raven shut the door and locked it behind them to make sure they knew they weren't welcome.

“What did you do?” Beast Boy asked the masked Titan in a very shocked manner. “I know she doesn't like people in her room, but that was just weird, even for her.”

“I just painted her, and we talked a little bit that's all. Nothing unusual, nothing,” Robin insisted, while raising his hands defensively. Still with this protest he blushed a little, as if he wasn't telling the entire truth. Luckily Beast Boy wasn't good enough at watching people to notice the reaction. Robin, however, knew what he was giving away so he turned and without a word walked off to the training room.
