*Ugh! I should've suspected that Aqualad was the one behind all this! I'm gonna beat the living sh*it out of him!* Beast Boy thought as he tried to face palm himself.

He was trying to keep up with Raven as she was still being pulled. She was still awake but letting herself be taken. This confused Beast Boy but he assumed she knew what she was doing.

Raven was pulled down so deep that they could barely see light coming from the surface. Eventually, they reached the ocean floor where a large hole appeared from underneath the sand. It barely opened to be human sized so Beast Boy turned in a small fish and swam in with her.

The hole then closed behind them as they both landed on the ground of a long tunnel with a rocky texture. Beast Boy transformed back and there was no water in sight.

It was dimmly lit and filled by aquatic plants. The walls of the tunnel seemed to be a marbel mixture of blue, purple, black, and green made of different types of rocks.

They stood up to look around, marveled by it's beauty. They then saw that the way they had come in was not a sandy enterance anymore, but covered by the rocky texture.

Both ends of the tunnel seemed to go on forever but one of the ends had a white glow to it. It drew them closer and they began going towards it.

Beast Boy transformed into a bird and they both flew to the light. Beast Boy could tell that Raven was disoriented though. Her glaze was less focused and clouded with endless thoughts.

*What's she thinking about?* Beast Boy questioned, *Is she worried about something?*

*I have to stay calm... That nightmare wasn't real and it won't become a reality. I won't let it! I should've told the team about everything by now! What is wrong with me!?* Raven thought in panic.

Luckily, Raven was still fairly good at hiding some of her emotions. Emotions like fear... She always appeared calm in stressful situations and this was no different.

So why was she scared...?

The pair finally reached the end of the tunnel where they saw that it led to a large cave with spikey rocks hanging from the ceiling. The cave had the same detailing as the tunnel, just well lit.

It was actually really bright, but there was no sign of anyone there. They still had to be on high alert in case someone was be panning an ambush so they kept their guards high.

As Raven floated towards the ground and Beast Boy transformed back he asked:

"So Rae uhhh... what's happening?"

"Beasty keep your voice down someone could be listening to us" Raven said in a whisper.

"Right, right..." he responded.

"Well... I think Aqualad kidnapped me again and he's trying to make sure I don't escape this time by hiding me under the ocean floor" Raven exclaimed quietly.

"But why hasn't he come yet? He knows you can teleport right?" Beast Boy asked.

"Yeah he does, but he might have something planned to prevent that..." Raven explained.

"We should leave while he's not here" Beast Boy said.

"We need to find out what his plan is and shut him down first. We can't just let him roam around when he's trying to kidnap me" Raven pointed out.

"Yeah I suppose so..." Beast agreed reluctantly.

Beast Boy's face then grew a depressed look. Raven looked at him with concern as they went to rest.

"What's wrong? Raven sighed as they sat down on a flat rock.

"N-nothing's wrong! What makes you say that!? Everything's fine!" Beast Boy replied, clearly lying.

"Beasty... I know when you're lying and you're lying right now..." she replied as she scooted closer to him.

He had his face in his hands while he was sitting and she began rubbing his back to comfort him. He began shaking as the seconds seemed to grow longer and longer.

Then he just snapped:

"I just don't wanna lose you ok!?"

Raven stopped and looked at him in surprise and said:

"Lose me...?"
