The Fight

Raven's POV

"Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos…" I chanted over and over again. I was in my room meditating trying to calm down. My emotions have been going haywire lately. Especially around a little green pest…

"Hey Rae, wanna play Stankball?" Beast Boy asked. He already knows the answer. Why does he even ask? Sometimes I swear he does it just to annoy me.

"No" Go away. Go away. Go away. I thought.

"Aww come on. I know you want to" He said with those big pleading eyes. I could feel myself give in. No! I can't. I just can't.

"I said NO. Now leave," I had to get him away from me. But, of course, he just wouldn't go.

"Come on when was the last time you had a little fun," he flashed that goofy grin of his.

I could feel my heart race a little. But strangely, it wasn't from anger or annoyance. I could feel myself slipping. Maybe I should play. Play with a pile of dirty laundry? YUCK! But he wants me to play... NO!

"Why do you continue to ask me when you already know my answer's no?" I asked annoyed.

"Geez Raven, Chill. I just want you to be part of the team."

I could feel myself stiffen at that comment. I tried to control my emotions before they could cause havoc.

Beast Boy backed up a little when he saw the effect his words had. "Rae, I'm sorry I didn't mean that…"

"Yes you did," My voice icier than a glacier. "Apparently I'm not part of the team. Apparently I haven't contributed to catching the criminals that wreck the city. Apparently I am the outsider because I don't participate in stupid little games evolving some rancid laundry that hasn't had a cleaning since you had a good idea in your head. Which by the way is NEVER!"

Light bulbs burst all the way down the hallway. Statues in my room fell to the ground with a crash. I knew I was over reacting. I knew that Beast Boy hadn't ment it that hurtful. But it was. He touched a sensitive spot at a bad time. I had to get control of myself before I hurt anyone. And I couldn't do it with him standing there all confused, and petrified.

I turned my back to him so he couldn't see my face. Then I lifted into my astral form and slipped though the floors of our home and beyond.

"Raven wait. RAVEN!" I could hear him calling me but I didn't care. I couldn't talk to him. Not now.

I left the tower and soured towards the forest net to the city. I don't know how long I flew, or where I was. I know I was miles away from civilization. I saw a small clearing and decided to rest.

What is it with Beast Boy I fumed. Why does he have to constantly remind me that I'm the outsider. I know I am but I don't need some else telling me 24/7."I just want you to be part of the team." Am I not already? I know I'm distant but I have to be. If anyone knew what it's like to be me they'd understand. But no, they taunt me and tempt me into losing control.They don't understand, no one unstands what it's like to be me. No one understands me.I'm all alone. Sure I have friends but they could never know what it's like. Never no the constant loneliness that haunts me. That I cannot escape. I'm all alone...

Rocks started flying in a vortex with raven as it's center.

Control Yourself. I started meditating. Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos… Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos…

Slowly everything returned to normal.

I overreacted. How could a few simple words upset me so? A voice from deep down answered.

Because they were said from Beast Boy.

So?

So, haven't you noticed that every time your around him your heart beats faster? That every time he looks at you you get nervous. When he talks to you you hesitated and don't know what to say. You wan to impress him with your intellect but end up yelling at him because you're afraid of showing him who you truly are. Are you that blind?

ARE YOU SAYING I'M IN LOVE WITH BEAST BOY!

Silence

WELL!

Silence

I am NOT in LOVE with Beast Boy

Silence

UGH! This is pointless.

Sigh. "I guess I better go back home now."

A hand grabbed me form behind. One hand was wrapped around my body to prevent me from moving and another one was at my face holding a cloth in front of my face.

"Think again," a voice said as I drifted off into darkness….
