Jay

50. Connections

"We need to talk," I say. "I figured were you doing in my head?" Jay says coldly. Jay doesn't know the truth. He's alive only due to me. "Jay. Unlike the titans. I know you more than anyone else here." I'm starting to feel weird about this. But I have to keep calm. The more emotions I show the more I lose a grip of myself. "What do you mean," Jay says. Cocking an eyebrow. " you see jay. You may not remember. But every time you ended up dying. I'm the one who caught you from the repeated black abyss and put you back to where you belong." I said in a neutral voice. I'm trying to keep a grip on myself. Because I don't need to end up crippling jay. As me and him talk a flashback occurs. He watches himself. And I watch him watch himself. The explosion of Sam. The coma. The death experience in the grid. He looks at me in the flashback. "How are you here?" He asks. The flashback ends. He looks back at me. "It's an interesting journey. I appreciate the saving. But now and why?"

After the flashback with raven. I learn more about my past. "It's an interesting journey. I appreciate the saving. But now and why?" I ask. I didn't know that she was able to do that. "I was an outcast. You didn't notice a blue hoodie just chilling around when it came close to your death?" She says. I think back on it. And remember a blue hoodie back on my counter in my apartment. Inside Sam. And right before I got shot. "I tried to refresh your memory the last time. And I was unsuccessful. And that's how the portal opened up to the titan's tower. And used my power on you as you only startled me" she continues. That makes more sense to me. But how did she know? I begin to question myself. "I can read your mind you know that. How I knew. Was I read a lot of books. I was given this magic book with no title. And it was like watching you like a movie. I know what it's like to be alone. I know what it's like to take all matters into your hands. I know what it's like to feel helpless." She said. Sitting down. I couldn't help but feel bad. What messes with me a little is she read my mind. "How did you read my mind?" I asked. Raven replied "a spell I set off last night it linked us. I want to see what's going on in your head to make sure you're safe. Seeing your life. It's a mess. But at least it's not as bad as mine. But now in certain cases when we're close to each other. We can telepathically talk. I can help you gain control during your wild flashbacks." That makes sense to me. No one's taken such care of me before. Well, I don't know. I don't remember much. "Let me see in your head. It's only fair as you did it to me." I say. Her eyes got super large. As if she was panicking. "Sure," she said sarcastically. And I was instantly transferred to a very dark place. I had my sword on me. And lit it up. With an orange fire. So I can see around. A demon-looking thing and it jumped at me. To my own surprise. I was unfazed. Raven tried to get it to back off. "It's fine rave," I said. "It's not the prettiest place, it's dark and cold. And lonely. I have to battle these demons daily. And also deal with my idiotic team in the daily." She says. She's got it tougher than me. I look around and another demon jumped at me. And I punched it dead into the chest and it disappeared. "Not your not alone anymore raven. As long as we stick together. It should be better." I say. I walked more around in the blackness. I notice a red gem. "What's this?" I ask "this is the resemblance of the gem on my head. It is what houses my power and my demons. If it gets cracked it could really end dangerously. And I can hurt a lot of people." She says quietly.

After more walking around in my head. We exit out of there. He was unfazed if this was beast boy or cyborg. They'd be crying for their mommy's. Seems some of Jay's instincts have stuck with him even with the loss of memory. I feel bad that I wasn't able to restore it. But there was so much damage. His heart was ripped straight out of his heart. The best I could do is bring him here to heal. I'm just afraid he's going to get to know me too well. And disappear. "No raven get a grip of yourself." I think to myself. "I'm sorry if I took too much time out of your hands with my failures," Jays says. Walking to the window. "I may not remember much. But I know now with you taking care of me. That it must've been a task." He continues. "Sadly. Saving you and watching you was more of a decent thing to do some days than dealing with my meditation and all the mess". I say getting up. And standing next to him. He puts his hand around me and on my shoulder. "We stick together for now on. Being alone is never fun," he says. One of these days. I need to tell him about gogo. There's something else about her I have to tell him. But I can't as he doesn't know enough for me to tell him. Before I could reply back to him. Beast boy walks in. "Really jay. Not cool." Jay turns around. And shoots a look. "What's the problem here?" He asks. "You've literally been here for only 24 hours. Showing up with all these issues. And then acting like you know raven. She's mine, not yours. Don't go hiding in your new room with raven." Beast boy yells. "Or what Beast boy," Jay says. In a deep cold voice. Oh no, I remember this. This happened with jay and hiro. Cyborg steps in. "Dude you need to calm down. Jay is just trying to make some friends. And it seems his first choice was raven. I mean he literally fell through the ceiling in her room," Cyborg says. "I don't care," beast boy says breaking through cyborgs grip. And runs at jay. "Brace yourself," Jay says inside my head and pushes me aside. Beast boy Hits him hard enough that he flies through the wall Falling from the tower.
