Chapter One

It was dark, all around her the familiar place that had been her childhood home was consumed by the unrelenting darkness. She looked around, trying to find a familiar face. Why did she try? She did not know, this was not even Earth, this was Azarath. She heard a voice call her name, but ignored it, every time she followed one she ran into dark creatures. Again, the voice called, this time much closer, she looked to her left and saw a bright burst of light cut through the darkness. A lightly muscled shape fell from it to the ground, and the light slowly faded away. By the small light available; she saw his outline, light build, kind of tall, pointy ears. The figure came closer as it ran to her. When he reached her, he put his hands on her shoulders and shook her.

"Raven, where are we? I was having this great dream about" He cut himself suddenly, "well never mind what it was about, then suddenly this light came out of nowhere and sucked me in!"

Raven pulled down her hood, she didn't know why she always did that when she was going to talk to him, but the familiar action, although barely visible, calmed him down some.  "This is, was, Azarath Beast Boy; before it was destroyed"

Beast Boy took his hands off her shoulders and looked around, turning slowly in a circle "but I thought that your dad was…" he whispered

"I don't know if he is back, I thought this was all a recurring bad dream, until you showed up"

She could see him waggle his eyebrows "Why because I'm a dream come true?" she had to admit, she had walked into that one

"No. Because every time someone I knew was here, they led me somewhere, then they were either killed by a demon or became one"

Beast Boy gulped and looked around again, wearier then last time, as if he thought that some ghost would come out and kill them, Raven understood the feeling. "So, how do we get out of here?"

"We don't" she ignored his gasp of disbelief "I don't think we can, not until we start looking for answers. We have to see what this means, why we are here"

"Can't we just let sleeping dogs lie?" he asked her, Raven ignored him and started walking down the street, in the direction she knew the temple once stood. She heard Beast Boy yell and turned to see he hadn't moved.

"Um Raven, why can't I morph?" he asked her
Raven frowned "this is a dream, you can do anything you want"

"I don't think it is a dream or a nightmare, if it was then I would have some tofu bacon on my hand, I've been wishing for some for a while, and I can't morph. Have you ever tried to use your powers in these… things?"

Raven closed her eyes and imagined the ridiculous chicken Beast boy had given her on the carnival that day. When she opened them, she wasn't holding anything. Now, she thought, something is definitely wrong. She tried using her powers, nothing.

She felt a tremor pass through the ground and lost her balance; Beast Boy caught her before she fell and turned her head to his chest, as if he was trying to protect her. She was too surprised by her lack of powers to tell him she didn't need his help. She looked from the space between Beast Boy's arms; she saw a tropical jungle, animals running around everywhere, a giant waterfall.  She heard Beast Boy gasp and utter what sounded like a very bad curse in a strange tongue.  A bright light came out of nowhere and then she felt herself falling, Beast Boy tried to hold her tight to him, but Raven felt him losing his grip, then she was falling alone. She heard someone screaming, it took her a moment to realize it was her.
When the light faded, Raven landed on someone with a thump, something warm and alive. Her limbs felt frozen from the shock of landing with all her weight of her hands and knees. She opened her eyes and looked down; she had landed on Beast Boy. Beast Boy looked opened his eyes and tried to stand up. He hit Raven and fell back down. Groaning, he took a better look at their surroundings.

"Err, Raven two questions"he looked directly at her eyes "How did we end up in your room lying in your bed and why are you straddling me? It's not that I mind it but I'm curious"

Raven tried to move, starting with her fingers, she could move them, but not her joints "Trust me Beast Boy, I'd love to move, but I fell on my hands and knees, I can't move" she waited for some smart aleck reply, and he didn't disappoint

"It's because I'm irresistible, right?" he smirked

Raven ignored the comment and concentrated, pulling out whatever was cramping her. She felt it go away, but didn't expect what happened next.

When whatever was holding her broke, she fell completely on top of Beast Boy. He had moved down from his original position, to easier reach her wrists and try to massage some movement in them, when he felt the tension leave, he grabbed her by the shoulders. It had been a long night, Beast Boy's muscles were also worn from the fall, he couldn't hold her up very well. He managed to hold Raven up just so, her lashed brushed against his cheeks and her lips just barely touching him. When he felt her lips on his, he forgot all about holding her up. He 'lost' his hold on her and kissed her. Raven was too surprised to push him away, and she kissed him back. They would've kept on kissing each other if it hadn't been for Raven's alarm on the nightstand. They sprang apart and stood on opposite sides of the bed and stared at each other.

"Um…I… uh…" Beast Boy managed "That just happened right?"

Raven looked at him "I think it did"

"Maybe we should just… um… leave it in the bedroom fro now" Beast Boy managed, Raven looked up at him with surprise "I know how you are with sharing feelings, I want you to know I care about you, but I won't push you to something you aren't ready for"

Raven actually smiled at him, she walked to him and hesitantly kissed his cheek, he looked at her closely, she was blushing. He allowed himself a small smile.

"Any idea what that dream, nightmare vision thing was about?" he asked her
Raven shook her head, "I have no idea where it was it took us to before dumping us back here"

"I do, that was Africa, West Africa"

Raven raised her eyebrows "How do you know?"

"Because, I know that waterfall anywhere" he took a deep breath "That was the waterfall that my parents drowned in" he held up his hand to stop any comment "Lets save it for later, we have a patrol today"

She nodded; Beast Boy left her room, while Raven looked at him. She shook her head and got ready for the Early patrol.
next
I know it seems like I rushed the whole thing, I don't usually kiss on the first date, or chapter in this case, but this is an exception to my usual rule, this story is full of pent up passion and intensity and darkness I hope all you Beast Boy/ Raven fans love it and I hope i nailed their characters right
The title I must give kudos to my older brother, I had no IDEA what to put and look I broke the curse, only 4 pages long on word and not confusing at all :)
the early patrol is before sunrise till a little after

the time-line here, this is running parallel with Change of Ways right now this is at the same time that Jinx first arrived at the Tower
I did a minor edit changing it from South Africa to West Africa, upon re-reading and seeing that mix up)
