Dark Side

Control Freak

I do not own the Teen Titans they belong to DC comics. If I did that would be cool but I don't so... On with the story.

RAVEN'S POV (its mostly her POV in this story)

*THUNDER CRASH*

My eyes shot open as lightning flashed, lighting up my whole room, I closed the curtains. Though I would never admit this to anyone, storms always frightened me they reminded me of the underworld, of my demon side.

"You can't escape it Raven" A quiet voice spoke sending chills down my spine.

"w-whose there?"

'real nice Raven... Don't sound like a scared little kid'

There was no answer as thunder roared outside, Catching me of guard, and I screamed falling off the bed. 'please Beast Boy' As soon as I thought that I heard footsteps coming from down the hall at a rather quick pace and stopping at my door.

*THUNDER CRASH*

I closed my eyes tight holding my ears, I was scared as much as I hated to admit it I was super afraid.

REGULAR POV

Beast Boy heard the scream and awoke from his dream. "Raven?" he said barely above a whisper. She had screamed and he knew it. He quickly ran down the hall to the goth girls room and threw open the door. She was laying on the floor holding her ears. He ran to her wrapping is arms around her and pulling her close.

She buried her face in his chest, causing him to blush slightly, BB knew that Raven hated storms even though she thought no one knew. He stayed with her and he wasn't about to leave her.

*THUNDER CRASH*

Raven jumped closer to Beast Boy whispering something. Beast Boy gently spoke to her and held her close as the storm raged on. After about an hour or so the storm had stopped and he looked down at her. She was sound asleep in his arms, he didn't want to wake her and she would probably kill him when she woke up. As he looked at her, he realized how peaceful she looked and gently picked her up laying her in her bed. Then walked out, looking back once more before going back to his room.

The Next Morning

Beast Boy and Cyborg were on the couch in yet another video game tournament. Cyborg, of course, was winning, while the green changeling seemed to be distracted and the racecar on the screen wrecked.

"BOOYA!!!!" Cyborg shot off the couch, shouting in victory.

Beast boy looked up "wait... I wrecked?... but I thought..." he looked at the remote and back to the TV. He shook his head and looked at Cyborg. "I call rematch!!" he shouted grabbing for the remote.

"Not a chance grass stain" Cyborg held the remote away from BB, as they both fought for it.

Star looked at the two and went back to cooking one of her Tameranian 'meals'. "you guys should not partake in the fighting" she said adding some glowing, spotted, mushrooms.

They, of course, didn't listen and continued fighting for control of the remote. Cyborg looked over spotting Raven walking into the room and smirked. "showing off for your girlfriend, BB?"

BB looked at him with a confused look "what? That's just Raven" he said simply.

Cyborg, who was still smirking, looked at him "yes, I know its Raven"

BB thought about it and blushed "RAVEN IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! AND I DON'T LIKE HER, like that"

Raven looked over "you don't like me Beast Boy?" She said with a strait face.

"It's not like that, I just... I do like you but not like that" He tried to explain but Raven crossed her arms, walking into the kitchen.

Beast Boy sighed did he say something wrong, he didn't think so, maybe Raven was just messing with him.

Cyborg laughed "real smooth BB"

Starfire flew into the room "I have finished lunch for all of us" she said happily. Cyborg and Beast Boy exchanged a look, then tried to think of something to say.

Just then Robin walked in.

Beast Boy thought "I'm sure Robin would love some Star why don't you ask him"

Starfire smiled and agreed to the idea, flying over to Robin. "hello friend Robin would you like to try some pligruym (I don't know just imagine it)

Robin glared at Beast Boy and Cyborg, who in return offered small smirks.

The alarm sounded 'Saved by the bell' Robin thought "TITANS GO!"

The Titans went to the scene of the crime and wouldn't you know it Control Freak had robbed a video store and was now sending his video game minions to cause destruction throughout Jump City.

"go figure it's Control Freak, what's next Dr. Light?" Raven rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Seriously dude no matter how many times we kick their butts they always come back" Beast Boy agreed but all the titans sprung into action.

Control Freak laughed "they'll never stop me!" he sent more of his creations to battle the titans, who as usual were still winning, much to Control Freaks dismay. "Let's see how you Titans fight without your powers!" He laughed.

All of the Titans dodged the blast from the overweight villain.

Beast Boy morphed into a T-Rex and charged at him, control freak screamed, like a girl and began to run away from the green changeling. "Titans don't let him eat me!!!" He screamed.

The titans, exempt for Raven, laughed. That was until Beast Boy got entangled in the power lines. He roared and tried to get free. The Titans went over trying to help their friend, but sparks were flying everywhere.

"Beast Boy hold still" said Raven, who had flown up into the air, and was now using her telekinetic abilities to untangle the wires that entrapped Beast Boy.

The other Titans continued to do battle against Control Freaks army. Beast Boy noticed, out of the corner of his eye, that Control Freak was aiming his weapon right at Raven! As the blast fired, Beast Boy knocked her aside using his head and she flew through the sky and was caught by Starfire. 'Good she's safe' Beast Boy thought but then was hit by the blast. He cried out in pain and turned back to his normal form, falling, surely to his death.

"I got him! I got him!" Cyborg called, running to catch Beast Boy, which the changeling landed safely in his arms.

Raven turned to Control Freak, who was busy being smug about hitting Beast Boy. "Don't you ever hurt my friend" she threw him against the wall, knocking him out. Her eyes began to glow red and shadows flowed from underneath her cloak, making there way to Control Freak, ready to kill.

"Raven STOP!!!" Robin yelled, running at her.

Raven gasped, shaking her head, and her eyes turned back to normal. She looked at the Titans her eyes were filled with fear, she nearly lost control again. Maybe it would happen, she couldn't... She wouldn't harm her friends... Would she? She ran back into the shadows, disappearing from sight, and never turned back.

Beast Boy began to stir and the Titans gathered around. He opened his eyes and looked towards the shadows before whispering a single word. "Raven...." Then he passed out again.
