Love Conquered

FML

In all her blonde, blue-eyed, gloriousness Beast's ex sat on the couch looking like a model in a burgundy fit dress, grey tights, black moccasins and a black scarf on her neck, making Raven want to smash her face in, "Why are you here?" she asked confused as to why the blonde had just shown up. 

Last checked she wasn't supposed to remember anything. 

 Terra coughed and admitted, "Well, to be honest, I didn't know all of you would be here. I thought you all were still located in Jump City. I came to see Beast b-." Beast sent Terra a scathing look, "It's just Beast. And you didn't remember almost four years ago why do you suddenly remember me now?" 

Terra held up her hands, "Whoa hold up I didn't come to fight or trick you-." Raven bitchly dropped in, "Again?" Terra sent Raven a look before explaining herself, "I was on a trip with a couple of classmates when I got knocked out by a volleyball. When I woke up I had this flood rush of memories. Who I was, the person I was before, you Beastb- I mean Beast. It all came back." 

Beast shrugged, "And you tracked me down to Japan to tell me that? I don't believe it." Terra shook her head, her eyes turning yellow as the ground began to shake. "Oh great, you got your power back too." Raven deadpanned as Star came and hugged her, lifting her slightly off the ground. Leaning on her sister, Raven whispered in her mind, 'Do you think she's going to-?' 

Star shushed her, 'Of course not.' 

Because she knew where that question was going, and she didn't think for a second Beast would ever leave her for Terra or allow himself to be stolen from Raven. "So why did you need to find Beast?" Robin asked suspiciously, Terra licked her lips and muttered, "Well like before I can't control my powers."

 Cyborg hummed not sure he believed her, "Well you controlled them pretty good when Slade sent you back to the tower to betray us. What happened to all that control?" Terra huffed, "It's gone! The techniques he taught me, the control he gave me. It's all gone." 

Raven rolled her eyes but bit her tongue as Beast sighed, "Well I still don't understand why you came looking for me?" Terra scoffed as if the answer was obvious, "Because I need help! I didn't have my communicator, I don't know where any other titans were anymore. I was out of options, please believe me! I came to you because I remembered you tried to help me once but I ran. I want that help now."

Raven looked at Robin trying to keep a lid on her words but Terra finally snapped at her, "Oh go ahead and say it, Raven!" Raven suddenly sunk threw the floor and then reappeared and was standing toe to toe with her, "Fine," 

Before anyone could stop her, Raven went in, "We f****d up and trusted you once. You betrayed us and yet we still honored you as a hero instead of the criminal you LET yourself become." 

Terra winced as Raven scoffed mockingly, "And now here you are, the finishing product of all your bad choices expecting more from us. From Beast when he was the one who believed in you the most." 

Narrowing her eyes Raven honestly tore the girl apart, "You're dumbest mistake Terra was making your power Slade's weapon and giving HIM control of your power instead of owning it yourself. I don't trust you as far as I can throw you."

Terra smirked as she hissed, "Well good thing I'm not asking you for help, I'm asking Beast for help and it's up to him if I stay or go." Raven started to choke her when Beast grabbed her and ordered Terra to stay where she was. Cyborg launched a couple of neutralizing binding bands around the woman and smirked as she squirmed in protest, "In case you want to get any ideas about causing any earthquakes."

On the second floor in Beast's house, Raven looked at Beast as he turned to his friends, "What do you think? Sketchy?" Cy shrugged sitting in a chair casually, "I've checked her profiles and everything it seems up until a few weeks ago she was living a normal life. Friends got adopted by a nice family, she was in Paris before she flew here. I'm pulling a medical report where she received blunt force trauma to her face. She had been kept for observation to make sure she didn't have a concussion. A small earthquake happened a day later not too far from the hospital."

Grinning Beast teased, "Thank you for proving her story checks out but what do you think I should do? I want your opinion bro." Cyborg sighed, "It's...awkward but I've never known you to turn your back on someone. Don't start now."

 Beast nodded and looked at Starfire who shook her head, "We trusted her once thinking she was our friend Beast. We can't do that again, she almost cost us our lives. If she needs help, we can send her to some of the other Titans. Other people who CAN help her."  

Beast nodded, "I know, but she needs help. What happens if we give her none?" Starfire sighed, "There are other titans, she came to you because you two were close. There's still so much we don't know about her...." Robin was silently listening and stewing thinking of this, "Robin?" Beast asked looking to him. 

"I think you should help her." 

Raven's jaw dropped in surprise so Robin elaborated for everyone, "She's just getting her memories back of being a metahuman. Her last ones being coerced into the dark side by Slade because he could offer her the control she didn't feel she had. We don't need her doing that again or it might be us that won't make it. Besides, we're the only ones who know her well enough to help her without needing to trust her." 

Beast faced Raven who's power sucked her through the door silently. Rushing behind her, Beast grabbed her arm but she didn't look at him. Beast sighed and gently whispered, "Raven this changes nothing between us! Nothing at all!"

 Raven sniffled, "It's fine. But you should go and help her get settled in. She doesn't know this place."

 Raven tried to leave but Beast caged her against the wall, "Star can do that, tell me why you're so upset so I can fix it. Please!" 

Raven scoffed, "I'm just not jumping for joy hearing you're spending time with your traitor ex-girlfriend who I thought was my friend at one point. I don't want to be around her and I don't trust her." Beast nodded, "I know...but as far as the ex-girlfriend part goes, I don't technically count her as one." 

Beast sighed before admitting, "She was a friend I had crushed on and even kissed once, but then come to find out it was a distraction for her to hurt my family." 

Raven's chin wobbled as she fought tears, "She attacked me Gar," She told him thickly, "Terra was your friend sure, but she was also a girl who liked you. And when she came after me when she was working for Slade...it got ugly." 

Beast winced, "You never told me what happened during that fight." Raven scoffed, "She played on my emotions. Told me how you had told her about my "temper tantrums"." Beast's jaw clenched and Raven nodded, "No hey, I got it though. That's what had made me mad...she was right in away. She was everything you could have wanted...but then you were choosing me. Neither of us could understand that." 

Cradling his woman's chin, Beast rumbled, "What we were long died."  

Raven nodded still not meeting his eyes, so Beast pushed her chin up gently making her lock eyes with his, "It's you I love Rachel Roth. Never doubt that." Raven smiled, "I love you too Garfield Logan." Beast smiled and kissed her sweetly, just as they were about to get hotter and Beast pull her into his bedroom, he heard someone coming and both watched as Star and Terra walked past them to a vacant room. 

Sighing Raven watched Terra glance back at Beastboy with longing. 'Long died my ass.'
