Inner Demons

After the movie, the others had gone off for training, leaving Beast Boy and Raven to their boredom. Raven, naturally grabbed her book to read for the rest of the day while Beast Boy played video games. The two sat quietly on the sofa, doing their own things but Beast Boy was restless. He got up and stalked off to his room. Raven mentally debated whether she should follow him but she settled on continuing her book. 


Beast Boy rummaged through his room to the point where he actually clean up his space. Still feeling uneasy, he paced his room, feeling his breathing getting faster. Suddenly he felt the need to escape and flew out from his window. He soared over the sea, with his wing feeling immensely better than it had for the past month. He flew to a familiar spot on a light pole and watched the street bustle with early evening foot traffic. People were leaving their jobs, going home to their families and loved ones. Beast Boy thought about how he didn't have any of that right now. His heart was still tangled around Terra even though she hated him now. He jumped and swooped down to a store awning as he spotted the familiar blond head. She walked back into an alleyway which grabbed Beast Boy's attention. 


"What? That's not where she normally goes..." Beast Boy thought to himself as he flew over to a fire escape on the side of the building to get a closer look.




Raven had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She closed her book and stood when the rest of her team came back from training. Cyborg walked over to Raven with a towel draped around his shoulders was the first to notice the look of concern on Raven's serious face. 


"Raven, where's BB?" Cyborg said lookin down at her when the others rushed over cautiously. 


"I think his room...I Just got a weird---AGHHH!"  Raven was cut off by a splitting pain in her chest and she fell to the floor. Everyone rushed around her as she balled up with her eyes squeezed shut. "NOOOO!" She shouted as the pain stopped and she opened her eyes to see three terrified faces, kneeling around her.




Beast Boy knew he shouldn't get any closer but something felt off about the situation. He flew in a little closer When Terra quickly turned around and made a glowing gold eye contact with Beast Boy. He felt his heart stop when he realized he'd walked into a trap. Suddenly, Terra raised her glowing glove with malice. 


"I told you to leave me alone, Beast Boy." Terra shouted through gritted teeth.


"I can help you!" Beast Boy shouted as he transformed into a human before her with his hands up. "You don't have to do this anymore..." Beast Boy lowered his voice in a friendly gesture. 


"You'll never learn Beast Boy!" Terra Shouted with a crazed grin as she raised her glowing hands. Beast boy tried to get out to the way but she was so quick.




Raven gasped for air on the floor as Robin helped her sit up. 


"We need to find Beast Boy!" She shouted as she stood up and ran to his room. She was standing at the open window in his room when the others caught up.


"Wait, Raven, What did you see?" Robin quipped back? 


"He's facing off with Terra. I'm connected to his mind and he just..." her voice trailed off as  she rubbed the spot in the middle of her rib cage where her sternum met her ribs. She felt his pain for a second in that vision. She felt frantic which was a foreign sight for everyone. Thinking back to what she saw, it hit her. 


"Meet me in the ally by the pizza place!" She shouted before diving out of the window into her black raven form and flew frantically across the sky. 




Beast Boy was laying on the dirty alley cement as Terra raised a large boulder over him. He could barely breath through the pain in his chest and stomach. 


"Terra, I loved you." Beast Boy quivered as he closed his eyes expecting the impact of the boulder to crush him. He lie there for a second and opened his eyes when he saw Raven with 4 glowing red eyes and black tendrils emanating from her cloak, wrapped around Terra, who was glowing gold. Raven was out for blood, but Terra had some tricks up her sleeve. Terra rained stones onto Raven, who deflected but had relaxed her grip enough for Terra to free herself. Beast Boy watched, trying to hold onto his consciousness but he was losing a lot of blood. He could see Raven losing control of herself. She was about to chase after as Terra ran off. 


"RAVEN!" Beast Boy shouted with all of the effort he had left. He saw her fall to her knees and the black shadowy demon retracted back into Raven's body.
