This is going to only be a few chapters because it's kind of short…

Suicide, death, some cussing (pretty bad), and a hint at a slightly intimate relationship.

It's been 5 years since the Titans were formed. 5 years since Robin left Batman, since Star escaped her captors, since Cyborg became what he is, since Beast Boy left the Doom Patrol, since Raven left home.

5 years since the team felt like they had somewhere they belonged. Yet, the team was more than that. It was a family. A family of friends, with love stronger than any.

But it was all going wrong.

O-O-O

"Raven! I got you some tea! You wanna watch the movie now or… Raven? Raven!" Beast Boy walked into his girlfriend's room to find her lying on the floor, her face bright red, her breathing labored. He dropped the glass of lemonade and rushed to her side.

"Raven! Talk to me! Raven, please please be ok!" Beast Boy picked her up and ran to the elevator. He jumped in and sped down towards the medical wing. He picked up his communicator. "Robin! Star! Cy! Medical wing, now!" As soon as the door to the elevator opened, Beast Boy ran into the medical wing and set Raven down. A few seconds later, the rest of the team rushed in.

"Beast Boy, what's wrong?" Robin ran over first and looked at Raven. She looked pale, red, and in pain. And she wasn't responding to anything anyone said. "Cyborg, scan her. See if there's a virus or anything that could be causing this condition." Star stepped up and grabbed Robin's hand.

"Robin, will friend Raven be ok? She is not looking of the well… Is she ill?" Her green eyes were huge and brimming with tears. Robin squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"I hope so, Star. Cyborg, find anything?" Cyborg looked at his scanner. He shook his head. Robin walked up to the bed and felt Raven's head. "She's not hot, or cold. Maybe…" He pulled his hand back and began to pace.

"Star, go get Raven's mirror. Cy, scan her head for brain activity." He sat on the bed by Beast Boy, who was holding her hand and talking to her.

"Raven, it'll be ok. Just you wait and see… You'll be ok." He was crying but trying to hide it from his friends. Robin put his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder.

"Her brain is overactive right now… Weird." Cyborg scratched his head, trying to find an explanation. Starfire flew in with her friend's mirror. Robin held it and muttered, "Azerath, Metreon, Zinthos." Instantly an image popped into the mirror frame. It was Raven. Only he could see it though, because he was the one holding it. Only he could see the horror transpiring within the mind of his friend.

She was chained to a wall. Around her were 3 demons. They were brownish-red with 3 horns on their head and 3 eyes. They had 4 arms and 2 legs, with 2 spiky tails. Their faces were flat, but their mouths were full of sharp teeth and 2 tongues. There was a demon next to her, scratching her and drinking her blood. Another demon was slowly eating her. A third had its hands on her forehead and heart, draining the life out of her. She was screaming and crying. Robin gasped and Raven turned and screamed, "Robin! No, run now! You'll be destroyed!" The demons then knew someone had infiltrated Raven's mind. They screeched loudly and sent dark energy towards whoever was watching. The 'whoever' just happened to be Robin.

Robin flew backward when the energy struck him and hit the wall. He slid down it and hit the floor, where he remained, motionless. His left shoulder and chest were burned and the material was gone, revealing an ugly flesh wound. Then Raven's body started to glow. Beast Boy held her hand tighter, willing her mind to stay strong, but the energy radiating off of her burned his hand. He yelped and pulled back. Star flew over to Robin and cradled his body, taking care not to hurt him. Cyborg was trying to keep Beast Boy from going into Raven's mind to try and rescue her.

Her body started to levitate. At that moment Robin woke up. "Star- Star, we have to- we have to leave…" He tried to stand, but fell. Star helped him up. "Guys, we have to go- the demons- she told me…" He started pulling Star towards the door. She picked him up and flew him to the door. She reentered to retrieve her other friends.

"Friends, we must go now! Did you not hear Robin's warning? Please!" She yelled and pulled on Cyborg's arm. Beast Boy wasn't moving. Star and Cyborg ran out. Raven was floating higher and glowing brighter.

"Beast Boy, come on!"

"Please, do not stay in there!"

"Yo, dude!"

Beast Boy was in shock. He saw his friends beckoning to him from the doorway. He saw the love of his life floating 10 feet in the air above him, glowing. Dying. He couldn't leave her. Her mirror had fallen onto her bed. He touched it and whispered her mantra. A faded image of her appeared. Her clothes were in tatters, she was bleeding, she was chained to a wall. The demons were out of her mind and in her body now, destroying her, so he had no idea exactly what was causing this.

"Raven? Oh, Raven, please, no…" He stroked the mirror. She saw him and screamed to him.

"Beast Boy! Go! Leave me! There's nothing any of you can do! Please, please go! Save yourself!" She was sobbing uncontrollably, for once giving way to her emotions.

Beast Boy stared at her. "No, babe, no… I can't leave you. You'll be ok…"

"No! Beast Boy, please! PLEASE!" She used what was left of her energy to shoot some dark energy towards him and hit him on the shoulder. It snapped him back to reality because he dropped the mirror. As he ran, he heard a faint voice call to him, "I love you…"

He ran out the door just as the medical wing exploded in a cloud of purple fire.
