Chapter Eleven

Raven had only seen half of what had happened before passing out from loosing too much blood. She only just saw Beast Boy in front of her trying to stop the bleeding before she passed out. She woke up in the medical bay, a bandage around her hand and on her shoulder. She felt weak, but she got up. The med bay was empty.

Raven left and went to see where all her friends were. She found them in the commons area. Thantos was there. She hid in the shadows and listened.

Why didn't the ceremony work? Why didn't Lyonar get Ravens power?" Robin asked. He stood straight, but didn't move much due to his cracked rib.

"She wasn't completely willing. She was being forced in a way. She would have chosen otherwise had she been given the choice." Thantos explained.

"Why did you do that? Save Raven I mean." Beast Boy asked.

"I knew about Lyonar's plans from the beginning and knew things would get…out of hand..... I still work for Trigon." He revealed. "It is my duty to protect her. Even if Trigon is… out of action."

There was an awkward silence.

"I assure you, they shall not return. I must take my leave now." he turned and saw Raven hidden in the shadows.

The Titans didn't see her and were confused when Thantos started talking to a wall. "Forgive me Lady Raven," he said actually addressing her with respect for once. "I am sorry for what I did all those years ago. I truly am. I cannot take away what I have done, but I hope someday you will forgive me."

Raven stepped out of the shadows.

"Where are you going to go?" Raven asked sheepishly.

"Not far. If you need me, I'll always be around."

"Thantos…" Raven started. "Why did you do it? All those years ago."

"Orders," he answered plainly. Then he looked down and considered something in his mind before continuing. "Did you know I had a family back then." Raven shook her head. She understood now.

Raven walked up to him. "I forgive you." Raven said easily.

"Truly?" Thantos said in disbelief. His eyes showing a different side Raven had never seen.

Raven nodded.

Thantos took her hand and kissed it lightly. "Goodbye sweet Raven." He whispered before disappearing in gray wispy smoke before all their eyes.

The Titans were shocked that she had forgiven him so easily. He had done something horrible, and all these years later, she just let it go easily. Now both victim and convict were better off and allowed to live a hate free life.

Raven stood on the roof looking at the sun set. The weather was perfect. The sea was calm, the sky a red and pink hue and it was perfectly peaceful.

Raven didn't even notice when Beast Boy came and sat down next to her. Until he broke the perfect silence.

"Hi Raven," He nearly whispered.

Raven didn't jump. There was no more reason for fear. She closed her eyes.

"Hi Beast Boy." She returned.

"Beautiful." Beast Boy whispered.

Raven opened her eyes again to find Beast Boy looking at her intensely. He had been referring to her. Raven blushed.

Beast Boy blushed too, eyes wide. He just realized he'd said that out loud.

"I-I mean t-t-the sunset." He said planting a large overgrown smile on his now red face.

Raven was starting to finally understand his strange behavior.

"Beast Boy." She said closing her eyes for a few moments. "Just say it."

"What are you talking about?" Beast Boy asked sheepishly.

Raven looked at him. She didn't look at him angrily, sadly, or otherwise. She just stared at him. Nether the less, Beast Boy felt the pressure of her gaze like a million pounds on his chest. He bit his lips, tried to ignore her gaze, and sweated pellets.

Finally, he cracked.

"I think I love you……..re eyes!" He quickly added on. But Raven knew better.

There was a long pause.

"I'm waiting." Raven said still gazing at the sunset.

"For what?" Beast Boy asked clueless.

Raven rolled her eyes and leaned in towards him. "I'm waiting, for this…" she said leaning in further and kissing him lightly.

Both their cheeks flushed, and they broke away.

"Uh…" Beast Boy said after a minute. "So, would you, like, maybe uh like to maybe…go out sometime?"

"I would love to." Raven replied.

"Really?" Beast Boy said perking up considerably.

"I just kissed you, didn't I?"

"That was real?" Beast Boy said smiling further.

"But-" Raven started.

"But? I don't like buts. Both of them…" Beast Boy said, the smile gone again.

"Let me finish." Beast Boy shut up. "But you have to do something for me."

"What?" Beast Boy asked nervously.

"You have to tell the rest of the team." She said turning around and going back inside.

Beast Boy chased after her. "I know Starfire will be fine, but do you think Robin and Cyborg will take this well?"

Raven kept walking.

"Uh… Raven."

Raven kept walking.

"Raven?" Beast Boy squeaked.

"This could be bad…" Beast Boy said to himself and raced inside after Raven.

It had to be better than the time he replaced Robins hair gel with oil and Cyborg soda with shampoo................ right?
