One Night Part 9

---Raven's POV---

Raven crashed in to her room falling to her knees. She squeezed her eyes shut, she felt her grip on her powers slipping, and knew she was loosing control. Her mind kept flashing back to what happened at the park. She kept seeing Beast Boy's face, hearing the words that had cut her like knives. It played over and over, she couldn't stop it. "Ya right, I would never kiss Raven." tears ran down her face as the scene flashed though her mind again, "too much creepiness."

Her room was being torn apart. Books and papers were flying through the air, one by one the the lights in her room burst. "Get a grip Raven!" she shouted at herself. "You are going to take the whole city down!" She knew she had to leave Jump City, she was a danger to everyone if she stayed. She grabbed a piece of paper out of the air, she brought it to her vanity and began to frantically write on it. She pulled out her communicator and placed it on the note, she did not want to be followed.

She sat crossed legged in the center of her room. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos! Azarath, Azarath!" She focused on where she needed to go, her home. Although destroyed by her Father, Azarath was the one place she knew she could regain control. Her form changed in to a black Raven, and it took flight into the air. And just like that she was gone.

---Beast Boy's POV---

Beast Boy ran though the tower. 'If she isn't in her room, she has to be somewhere else in the tower.' He thought to himself. He checked the roof, front room, even the basement. He soon came to terms that she was gone. She was gone and it was all his fault. He walked back to her room, he felt terrible, this was never suppose to happen. He was never suppose to hurt her, he loved her. He loved her more than anything and he had ruined everything.

Beast Boy walked through Ravens damaged room. It was a mess, paper and books were everywhere, glass shards were scattered though out the floor.  He then noticed a piece of paper that was placed on vanity, on top of it was a yellow communicator. He instantly recognized the hand writing as Raven's. He read the note and was in shock, he tuned and sat on the bed. He couldn't move, he couldn't take this.

"What happened in here?" Beast Boy looked up and noticed that it was Robin that spoke. He was standing in the door way, behind him was Starfire and Cyborg.

"She's gone." Is all he could say, he held out the note in his hands, his leader took it and read it.

"Please Robin what does the note say?" Star's innocent voice said quietly.

Robin read the note. "I have left Jump City, I will be back as soon as I can. Please don't follow. Raven." He looked up at Beast Boy who held out her communicator.

"So friend Raven is gone? Where did she go? When will she be back?" Beast Boy ignored Starfires questions, not that he could answer them anyways.

"If she left it was on her own terms," Robin said turning to reassure his girlfriend. "she will come back when she is ready."

"But she will come back?" Starfire pressed. Robin did not answer. The truth was that he didn't know the answer, none of them did.

"This is all your fault." Cyborg said as he walked though the door way. He pointed a finger at Beast Boy's chest, "You did this, you made her leave."

Beast Boy stood up, he could feel his blood boil. "You think I did this on purpose?" He was furious, and yelled the question at his friend. He looked him in the face, ready for a fight.

"If you could keep your hormones in check then none of this would have happened. You broke her Beast Boy. You broke the unbreakable." Cyborgs voice was low, as if a growl. Beast Boy could feel his face get hot, he tightened his hands in to fists.

"Enough!" Robin's voice rang though the room. "Raven is gone, pointing blame is not going to change anything." He walked over to the two and forced space between them. "She will come back when she is ready, until then" he turned to Cyborg, "we will keep out actions at bay. Understand?" Cyborg huffed and stormed out the room.

Beast Boy unclenched his fists and sat back down on the bed. He put hung his head in defeat. "What have I done?" he whispered.  

---Raven's POV---

Raven was sitting in the destroyed temple of Azarath. She found solitude in her once glorious home. Although not all of her memories here were good, this is the place where the monks saved her life. This is where she was raised. It was abandoned now, not a soul dared to roam the ruins.

She was meditating, having regained control though the night she was now trying to focus on what she needed to do next. She felt weak, teleporting to another world had taken a lot out of her. Once she was here her powers rampaged though the city, it took all of her will power to reel them back in. It had been years sense she had an out burst this bad, and she felt scared of what would happen if it got out of control again. She was lucky to get away from the city, she was lucky innocent people weren't hurt. "This can never happen again, ever." She said to herself.

She sighed as she opened her eyes to see the sunrise. She would stay here for at least another night. She did not have the strength to teleport back to Earth, not that she was in any hurry. She dreaded what she needed to do, once again Raven dreaded her future.

---Beast Boy's POV---

It had been a full day since Raven left, and not a word was spoken about it. Everyone was on edge, especially Beast Boy. He would go back to her room every hour or so to check and see if she was back, and every time he found an empty room. He had apologized to Cyborg for his out burst, who had accepted it. Cyborg explained that he was just worried for Raven, and that is why he acted the way he did. Beast Boy couldn't blame Cyborg one bit, he knew what he did was wrong and if he could take it back he would. But he couldn't, he could never take back what had happened.

Everyone was in the main room. Beast Boy and Cyborg were sitting at the table playing cards, while Robin and Starfire were sitting on the couch watching a documentary about processed foods. It was quiet in the tower for once.

"Please friends, I propose that we have a movie marathon to take our minds off of our troubles." Starfire said as she stood up form the couch. This was the sixth time she tried to get everyone to do a group activity. Everyone in the front room remained silent. "It would take our mind off of Raven." she added.

Beast Boy flinched at the sound of her name. "Star, maybe it is best that we just go to bed early." Cyborg said noticing Beast Boys reaction. "It has been a long day." He turned and smiled at the alien girl, who merely frowned at his response.

"Very well." She responded looking at he boyfriend. Robin turned off the TV and put his arm around his girlfriend.

"How about I take you to a movie Star?" Robin said trying to cheer her up. "You can pick." Starfire smiled at his question and nodded. They walked out of the main room, Robin yelled "Don't wait up." to his friends as they left.

"Gin." Cyborg said as he put down his the cards in his hand. Beast Boy sighed.

"I think I am going to take your advise and head to bed Cy." Beast Boy said as Cyborg shuffled the cards. Cyborg smiled at his green friend.

"Don't sleep forever green bean."

"Don't tell me what to do dude." He responded jokingly back to the metal man. With that the changing got up and started to the door. He was about to leave when he heard Cyborg mutter something. "What?" he asked as the tuned to face his friend. He had herd what he said because of this animal senses, but wanted his friend to repeat it, he needed him to repeat it.

"She will be back you know. She wouldn't just leave us."

"I know." Beast Boy responded.

---Raven's POV---

Raven teleported back in to her room. She looked around and sighed, she forgot how much of a mess she left behind. With a wave of her hand everything was engulfed in black energy and returned back to its rightful place. "I was always good at cleaning up." She said to herself. It was early in the morning, everything in her room gave off a eerie feel. She turned and walked out of her room.

The tower was quiet. He footsteps echoed though the hall as she made her way to the main room. The sun had not even rose yet, she had came home this early on purpose she knew that only one person would be up, and she would not risk the chance of running in to anyone else. The doors opened to the main room and reveled a quiet room with one person sitting at the table.

Robin put down the morning news paper that he was reading and looked up to her. He smiled. "Welcome home Raven."

"Hey Robin." She responded in a dead pan tone. She took a deep breath and sat across from her leader. She fidgeted with her hands adverting his gaze. "We need to talk, and you are not going to like it." She said in a small voice.

"I am all ears."

---Beast Boy's POV---

Beast Boy was running though the streets of Jump City. He was following a dark figure ahead of him. He tried to transform in to something faster, but his powers would not let him. He didn't know what he was chasing, but knew that it was important, he knew that his life depended on catching it. Then the dark figure turned in to a alley, Beast Boy slowed down once he realized that it was a dead end, the figure had no where to run. It gasped and turned to face Beast Boy, he was now looking in the beautiful face of Raven.

"Rae." He smiled as he said her name. He walked forward towards her.

"No. Stay away." She responded.

"What? No Rae, please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean what I said, I swear." he pleaded.

"Yes you did." She responded coldly.

"No, Rae I love you, please." he was on his knees. He need her to believe him, he needed her forgiveness.  He was begging.

"It's too late for that now, you will never have me." and with that she was fading away. He jumped to his feet and ran to her, but it felt like the ground was moving. He ran faster and faster, all the time she was getting further and further away.

There was a bang on the door and Beast Boy sat up with a jolt. His his heart was racing, it was only a dream, it wasn't real. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Yo B wake up! Robin has called an emergency meeting!" It was Cyborg. Beast Boy turned and looked at the clock, it read 9:00. It must be serious, everyone knew he did not wake up till at least 10.

"Okay, hold on!" he yelled back. Beast Boy rolled off his bead and stood up. He grabbed his uniform and put it on as quickly as he could. He caught a glance in the mirror and realized that he has circles under his eyes, he looked terrible. He opened the door and looked at Cyborg, "What is going on?" He asked his friend.

"I don't know, but we better hurry." He responded. With that they made their way to the front room. The doors opened and reviled Robin standing in front of the couch arms crossed. On the couch sat two figures, one was obvious Star the other was...

"Raven!" Cyborg yelled as he ran to his friend. "Thank god you are here we missed you!" He brought Raven in to a strong embrace.

Beast Boy couldn't believe it. She was here, she was safe. He made his way to his friends as Cyborg let go of Raven. She smiled at him and nodded. "Rae." He said, she merely looked at him and sat back on the couch next to Starfire looking coldly ahead. 'She is still mad' he thought. He couldn't care less if she was mad, she was home. He could now explain himself, he could make things right.

"Take a seat everyone." Robin said firmly. Cyborg sat next to Raven and Beast Boy was forced to sit on the other side of Star. He had not taken his eyes off of her. He felt a warmth in his heart, and he could not stop smiling.

"I know you guys are wondering why I called this meeting-" Robin started but was cut off.

"Not really, obviously it is because Raven is finally home." Cyborg said as he nudged Raven playfully. She frowned and pulled up her hood. 'Oh no. This isn't good' Beast Boy thought. His smile turned in to a frown.

"No, that is not exactly it. It have some news that will effect our team as a whole.." he stopped and looked at Raven who merely nodded. "As of tomorrow, Raven will be transferred to Titans West."

Everything happened at once, Starfire gasped, as Cyborg stood up in protest. "No, you can't be serious!" Cyborg argued. Beast Boy had not moved. he kept his gaze on Raven. He was speechless. She wanted to leave, she wanted to transfer, all because of him.

"Red Star is in need of assistance, and Raven has volunteered to help." Robin said defending himself. There was a long pause as this sunk in for everyone. The Titans were loosing one of their own, everyone was loosing.

"How long?" Beast Boy finally asked, still looking at Raven.

"Six months to a year." Robin responded.
