Raven stood at the doorway, mouth wide open. In front of her stood Beast Boy with his back to her and headphones on, which explained why he didn't answer. Beast Boy was also shirtless. But Raven wasn't surprised at this, she was surprised at the long, ragged scars that covered his back.
Beast Boy reached up to take off the headphones and placed them on a table near his bed.
Raven started to speak but choked on her own words, all that came out was a sort of gurgling sound.
At this, Beast Boy immediately turned around. "Ah! Raven! What are you doing?" He quickly grabbed a shirt off the floor and threw it on, hoping Raven hadn't seen.
Raven cleared her throat, "Trouble. Robin's waiting for us so hurry." Raven then turned and exited the room. She stood outside his room in the hallway for a moment, wondering what exactly she just saw. She shook her head as if to clear her thoughts and soon joined Robin and the others outside.
~one crazy battle later...~
"I can't believe Cinderblock broke out of jail that fast." Cyborg commented as the Titans arrived home once more. He sat on the couch and picked up a controller. "Hey BB, wanna race?" He called to his green friend.
"No thanks, Cy." Beast Boy replied. "I'll be in my room."
Cyborg merely shrugged. "Robin?"
Robin hopped on the couch beside him. "Only if you feel like losing!" He taunted.
Beast Boy walked slowly to his room. The last battle really did a number on him. He must've shape-shifted 30 different times. Beast Boy's muscles ached in pain. But as much as he was in pain, that wasn't Beast Boy's biggest concern. His biggest concern was Raven. He was starting to think she saw his scars, she acted strangely after she walked in on him. Beast Boy shuddered "If anyone knew..." He said to himself.
"If anyone knew what?" came a monotone voice from behind.
Beast Boy jumped. "Raven! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Raven ignored him. "If anyone knew what?" She pressed.
Beast Boy bit his lip. "If anyone knew...that...I still sleep with my teddy bear!" He smiled. "You caught me Rae, well see ya!" Beast Boy pushed Raven out of his room and closed the door.
Raven stood outside for a moment, one eyebrow raised. She was going to get it out of him, whether Beast Boy liked it or not. Nobody keeps secrets from Raven.
