Chapter 7
Beast boy woke up to a soft tapping at the door. He looked around and saw that it was still dark out. Groaning softly, he got up and opened the door. He was surprised to find Midnight standing in the doorway holding a small blanket and teddy bear. He could tell that she was near tears. Not wanting to wake up Raven, he stepped out into the hallway and closed the door. Crouching down to her level he took her hands.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
She stood silent for a moment before dropping the bear and rushing into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I had a bad dream.” she whispered, tears starting to spill over.
Beast boy froze. He didn’t know what to do. Then remembering when he was younger that he just wanted to be held after having a nightmare. He did just that, hugging her tight. “It’s alright. Tell me what it was about.”
She sniffed, pulling away slightly. “It was...hic....about some bad man...hic...trying to take away my mommy!” fresh tears rolled over her cheeks and she buried her face back in his neck.
“Shh, no ones going to take her away. Not while her friends are here.” He said, rubbing her back.
“P...promise?” She asked, looking up at him with her emerald eyes filled with crystal tears.
“I promise.”
“But what happens if she does get taken?” she asked, worrying her bottom lip.
He had a brief vision of Raven doing the same thing when she was scared. He smiled slightly. “Then I’ll go get her, I promise. Alright?”
She nodded and hugged him once more. “Come on little one. Time to go back to bed.” He grabbed her teddy bear and carried her into her room, setting her down on her bed. He pulled the covers up around her shoulders and handed her the bear, kissing her forehead he added. “Get some sleep alright?”
Midnight nodded and snuggled deeper into the blankets, cuddling her bear. As Beast boy went to leave she called out. “Daddy.”
He paused and looked at her. “Yeah?”
“I love you.” turning onto her side, she let out a yawn and curled up.
Beast boy gave her a small smile and turned off the lights. “I love you too baby.” he whispered.
-_-_-_-_-
Raven woke up due to the sun in her eyes. She moved her head to the side and blinked her eyes open a few times. Looking around, she saw that Beast boy was no where in sight. Sitting up, she decided that he must have gone down to eat. Getting dressed, she headed for Midnights room and check in on her.
Midnight wasn’t in her bed and she frowned. Usually her daughter would come and wake her up when she got up. She headed for the dining room and breath a sigh of relief when she found Midnight eating breakfast with Beast boy. She sat down next to them.
“Morning sleepy head.” beast boy said, grinning.
“Morning.” She looked at Midnight. “How come you didn’t come in and wake me up like usual?”
Midnight munched on her toast happily. “Daddy was already awake so I came with him.”
“Oh.” Raven looked at Beast boy who smiled again and looked towards the door as it opened. Star, Robin, and Terra walked in.
“Mornin!” Midnight said cheerfully.
Azerlin walked in and saw Midnight. “Come on little one. You have classes.”
Midnight’s eyes widened and she transformed into a small mouse. She scurried past Azerlin who rolled her eyes. “Here we go again.” she muttered before taking off after Midnight.
Beast boy chuckled and Raven frowned. “That’s a first. Usually it’s a cat. I better go help Azerlin.” She kissed Beast boy’s cheek before chasing after the two.
Terra sat down next to Beast boy, still staring at the door. “She can transform?”
He nodded. “Yeah, according to Rae she’s done it before.” he laughed.
They sat in silence as they ate. Suddenly, screaming was heard from outside. Quickly racing to the scene, they saw people pouring out of a hole of the wall that surrounded the city. Since it was in the back, it was closer to the palace.
They saw Raven, Shadow, and Midnight already down, stopping the people from coming through.
“Titan’s Go!” Robin said as Starfire took his arm and headed for the fight.
Beast boy transformed into an eagle and flew down after them with Terra beside him on a rock that she summoned.
When they got a closer look, the people had weapons and they were charging at Raven and Shadow while Midnight was using her powers to put up a barrier. It was starting to fail because of the constant ramming from the people on the other side. As she collapsed to the ground, Beast boy grabbed her and set her off to the side. He changed into a T-rex and charged at the rebels.
Scared of the animal charging their way, most turned and fled. The ones foolish enough to stay were knocked back out of the hole. He transformed back and Terra summoned up a huge boulder to block them from coming through.
Robin and Starfire jumped over to Shadow and Raven while the other two fixed the hole and Beast boy checked over his daughter. Robin took out a silver bo staff and started attacking the oncoming people.
Starfire started shooting at the people and there was an explosion close by sending her flying back. Another hole had been broken into and a man, seeming to be the leader, called out. “Retreat! Everyone fall back!”
Raven, seeing the man, grew angry. “Alenar! How could you!” she screamed.
He laughed. “Dear Raven, do you think I would want to live under your brat sister? You know that I don’t like anyone ruling over me.”
She growled and charged after him. Sending waves of dark energy at him.
“Tisk tisk, getting slow are we?” Alenar easily dodged her blasts and came up rapidly on her. Surprised by his speed, she failed to get out of the way in time. He blasted her in the stomach with dark blue energy, sending her flying back.
“Raven!” Beast boy screamed, running for her limp body.
“I don’t think so little man.” Alenar threw out a circular disk that surrounded Raven with dark blue energy.
Beast boy threw punches at the shield that had been erected around her. “Raven!”
Alenar laughed and blasted Beast boy away from the shield. He stepped into the circle and picked up Raven. “Bye.” He opened a portal beneath his feet and fell into it. It closed up and the shield blew up, sending Beast boy back a few more feet.
He growled, sitting up. Seeing the retreating people, he transformed into a cheetah and charged after them.
“Garfield! Come back!” Robin called after him. Starfire set a hand on his arm and he nodded. ‘Best to let him catch one. We can get some information out of them then.’ he turned back to the wall that needed to be fixed and started helping Terra.
Midnight sat on the ground. Tears welling up in her eyes as her mother disappeared and her father taking off after the mean people. “Mommy.” she whispered before the tears fell over her cheeks. Green energy swirled around the girl and Shadow, seeing what happened, quickly put up a shield around her.
The green energy swelled in size and broke through the shield. Shadow put up another one, bigger than the last. Thankfully that one lasted until the power erupted and shot up into the sky like fireworks.
The Titans had fallen back away behind Shadow as it continued.
“What’s going on?” Robin asked.
“Her powers are being unleashed, fully.” Shadow said, face set. “She’s too young, she won’t be able to control them!” letting the half shield drop from around Midnight. Shadow fed off of her niece’s energy that threatened to blow up half the city and created a shield big enough to surround the city, excluding Midnight.
As her power increased, it started shooting off , hitting the shield and busting it in some places.
“Midnight! Calm down!”
The others turned to see Beast boy standing as close as he could get to Midnight.
“Careful BB!” Shadow called out.
He pushed against the power that threatened to consume his daughter. Forcing himself through the shell she hadn’t realized she made, Beast boy wrapped his arms tight around Midnight who’s eyes snapped open and looked up at him.
“It’s alright.” he whispered. “I’m here.”
Midnight nodded once before collapsing in his arms. Her power faded to a dull glow before it diminished completely.
Shadow dropped to her knees as she let down the force field. Some people rushed over to her, checking to make sure that she was alright.
Beast boy carried a unconscious Midnight over to the group.
“How did you know what was going on?” Shadow asked once she had caught her breath.
“Rae told me about it.” He replied in a monotone voice that his partner usually held. He headed for the palace to let Midnight rest.
The others stared at his retreating back, worried for their friend.

Raven groaned as she woke. A shot of pain ran through the back of her head and she touched it gently with her hand and felt a sticky substance oozing from a wound. ‘Great’ she thought. ‘Just what I needed.’
“So, your awake.”
“Alenar.” She growled, starting to charge at him. Metal links connected to chains on the wall encircled both of her wrists, preventing her from reaching him.
“My, my. Still so feisty.” he cupped her chin and tilted it up towards his face.
“What do you want me for?” she said, pulling her face away from him.
“The same reason that I wanted you before. To rule with you by my side.” he said, grabbing her chin again, this time more roughly, and forcing his lips on hers.
Raven struggled to pull away and he laughed, letting her go. “That and we want to know where you hid Trigon’s mirrors away.”
“Like I would ever tell you.”
“Now, now Raven. Do you want your friends to get hurt? Or your daughter? That green thing seemed to care for you a lot, what about him?” Alenar said, pulling a chair over to Raven, just out of her reach.
She growled. “You will not touch them.”
“You can’t stop me if I wanted to.”
She struggled against the chains once more, then tried using her powers to take them off.
Alenar laughed once more. “Do you not think that I would be prepared for your little tricks? They were made especially for you and your dark powers.”
Raven growled once before collapsing to her knees, head down to hid the tears that threatened to consume her.
“That’s my Raven, give up. Give up and let your pain take over. Tell me where you hid trigon’s mirrors. The world was a much better place when he was here.” Alenar said, moving closer to her.
“Never.”
Frowning, he stood up and walked for the door. With his back away from her, he said. “You shall regret that. For when your friends get here, their going to pay for your mistake.”
He left and shut the door with a bang and she heard it lock. She slumped back on her knees, crystal tears falling down her cheeks in shimmering waterfalls.
‘Don’t come guys.’ she pleaded, even though she knew that her sister couldn’t hear her at any great distance. ‘Don’t come.’
Beast boy woke up to a soft tapping at the door. He looked around and saw that it was still dark out. Groaning softly, he got up and opened the door. He was surprised to find Midnight standing in the doorway holding a small blanket and teddy bear. He could tell that she was near tears.
