I'm Really Bad at Coming up With Titles (a BBRae fan-fiction by Person90X)

Chapter 1

If I owned the Teen Titans, you'd be watching this right now. :(

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beast Boy was pulled out of sleep by a sharp slap across the face.

"Dude!"  he yelled. "What was that for?"

Raven stood above him, hands on her hips. "You  were screaming," she said. "I was trying to sleep."

Secretly Beast Boy was glad. The nightmares were so vivid now that he worried he might never wake up. Raven wasn't the escape he had been expecting (or wanting) but he would take it. " Well, I'm terribly sorry I woke you up. Now please go back to sleep," He said sarcastically.

Raven obliged.

Beast Boy shuddered and flicked on his TV to distract himself from what he had seen. No way was he going back to sleep.

Raven was worried about Beast Boy, as much as she hated to admit it. She heard him every night, screaming and whimpering, and watched him stumble around at crime scenes with sleepless red eyes the next day. She knew about nightmares, but this was severe. Some evil was plaguing him, and, if gone unchecked, he could go into a coma...or worse. She hated the idiot, but she didn't want him to die.

What was worse, he wasn't happy anymore. His huge fanged smile was gone, and he never made his stupid premature jokes anymore. He never laughed, never sat up straight, hardly spoke, hardly ate. No matter how much Raven hated him, Beast Boy was an irreplacable part of life. She had to help him.

But how? She hardly knew him, much less how to help.

The crime alert went off at breakfast. Beast Boy pushed his tofu around on his plate, examining the pattern of the porcelain. He didn't care about food anymore. He looked up through his shaggy green hair, which now grew unchecked past his shoulders, to see Raven staring at him. She quickly looked away. He was just about to ask her what she was looking at when Robin called them from the intercom. "Trouble! I don't know what it is, but it's big."

The scene of the crime was, apparently, an alleyway. "I'm terrified," Raven said moodily.

"Where is the villain?" Starfire asked.

"I don't get it," said Robin. "There must be some mistake..."

"No," said Cyborg, looking at his arm. "there's someone in there."

Beast Boy crept in slowly. "Um, hello?" It was dark and musty. His mind flashed back to one of his nightmares, to a scene exactly like this one. He flinched. 

He stuck out his hand and touched the back wall. "I don't see anything..." he turned slightly and shrieked, jumping back and smacking into the wall.

That face had haunted his memories for years and now haunted his nightmares. The Doom Patrol, the Teen Titans, jumping from place to place, town to town, all to get away from this one person.

His sister.

His legs went into action, pumping hard against the ground, only one thought filling his mind. Run. Run as fast as he could, no direction except away. Had to get away.

He streaked out of the alleyway, past his friends, by buildings and cars, making a beeline towards the T in the distance. He could hear someone behind him, running, flying, catching up. He gave one last desperate burst of energy, one last shot to get away. The tower was so close...

Suddenly the ground disappeared from under him. He hit water and began to sink, too tired to keep himself up...
