Raven's POV

-12pm-

Robin was making lunch, Cyborg was playing video games, Starfire was painting her nails with Silky, and I was enjoying my afternoon tea while looking out the window.

I had been distracted all day by Beastboy's absence. I kept telling myself that he slept in and would be out at any moment, but I was starting to get worried.

The night before, he refused to come into my room or sleep in my bed. He didn't even want to hang out the whole day, which was unlike him. He's usually the first one to come knocking at my door to ask to spend the night.

It was odd, but I just thought that maybe he needed some alone time. We all do sometimes.

But this... this was different. Something just felt off. I couldn't explain it, but I could feel it.

"Raven? Hellllooo? Raven?"

I snapped out of my thoughts to see Cyborg waving his hand in front of me.

"Oh. Sorry. Yes?"

"I was asking if you knew where Beastboy was," Cyborg said.

"I think he's still in his room. I haven't heard from him at all today. Sorry," I said sadly.

Cyborg sighed and hung his head down.

"Yah... that's what I thought. I just thought that maybe you would know because you guys are... never mind. Thanks anyways," Cyborg responded.

I smiled and nodded my head.

I took another sip of my tea until something hit me.

Pain. Unbearable pain.

But the pain was not mine. It was someone else's. My empathic abilities were overwhelmed by hurt and depression.

I looked around at the other titans, who were happily going about their day. That left one other person in the building.

Beastboy.

Without explanation I flew out of the room as fast as I could, knowing I could fly faster than I could run. As I approached Beastboy's room, the pain got worse and worse, until I was sick from a migraine and my heart was overwhelmed by sadness. Whatever sadness he was feeling was strong. Real strong.

I knocked on his door.

"Beastboy?"

"Go aw... I mean not right now. I need time alone," he said as his voice cracked.

"I'm not going away Garfield. I know how sad you're feeling. I can feel it myself. That's why I'm here. Now please, open the door before I do," I said.

It was nice having powers, knowing that worse case I could just teleport or phase through his door to get to him.

But I didn't need to.
