Chapter 1

You cannot defeat darkness by running from it, nor can you conquer your inner demons by hiding them from the world

Breakfast (Raven)

Raven sat in the kitchen with her friends in the tower. Raven was asked to pass the Orange Juice by Beast Boy. Beast Boy receives the OJ from Raven. He thanks her for the Orange Juice. At the table, Raven asks everyone what they have in store for today.

"I am going to the mall, I think" Responds Dawn (Dove)

"Oh cool. So it is normal Saturday" Raven says with a smirk

"So if it is a normal Sunday then you are going to read some book" Dawn says to Raven

"You are not wrong" Raven says. Raven then glanced at Hawk. Raven asks Hank, "What about you, Mister". Besides going to the mall with Dove, Hank says he does not have much planned for today. In response to Hank, Raven jests, "You two are inseparable.". Hank then makes some childish gesture and then raven looks towards Dick. Dick pulls out his earbud.

"Huh" He says while looking at me with a puzzled look

I roll my eyes "What are you doing today"

Dove and Hawk look at each other while grinning and laughing. "Oh Shut up," Dick says while re-inserting one of the buds.

Hawk shoots back, "I didn't know you had such thin skin". The night was just not good for me, Dick says as he yawns

Raven asked, "Why did you not sleep?"

Dick responds, "Nightmares and the cut on my chest"

"After breakfeast, I'll heal that wound," Raven said while frowning.

Dick asks Raven, "What's wrong, Rachel?"

Raven says, "I just wondered why your wound hasn't healed yet."

Dick responded, "I'm not sure."

"Neither of us" Raven agreed. Raven turned to Dick and said, "Let me examine my books to see if I can find any solutions to our problem."

"Okay" Dick responds

Raven does not turn towards her room. Instead she walks by the table and towards Dove. Raven asks Dawn if she can help him for a few minutes or so. "Of course Raven, just allow me to finish my breakfast" Dawn replies

Raven responds, "Of course Dawn"

"What about our mall trip" Hank asks Dawn

Raven looks at Hank with a confused look and asks, "Do you actually want to go to the mall?"?

"He actually likes going to the mall," Dawn says with a smile.

"Okay" She says while going into her room

Beast Boy

The alarm went off as Gar woke up. It was humid and he was soaked in sweat. It was impossible for him to get out of bed. A pounding in his head and a feeling of puddly limbs were consuming him. He was trying to think about my dreams last night. Then after a minute, He could not remember what he had dreamed about. After about five minutes, he was able to get up, and he went out of the room and crashed on the ground outside his door. Donna Troy (Aka Wonder Girl) approached him and attempted to speak to him. Her words were not audible to him. Having come to help him, the girl told him she couldn't hear him."UGHHHHHH" Beast Boy screamed. Donna Troy looked at him with concern. He regained his sanity for a moment. With a squeak in his voice, I wonder, "What is wrong with me?"? Frowning, she signals that she has no idea what's wrong with Beast Boy. Something is dripping down his head. He takes a little bit and it's his blood. Donna asks why his blood is Green. He explains that the accident made him what he is today.He then passes out

"Raven, come over here!" Donna yells

Seeing Beast Boy in his current state, Raven asks "what happened" as she makes her way to Beast Boy.

She responds, "I'm not sure. I've just found him"

A concern in Raven's eyes. "Okay, he needs to go to the medical bay." Raven states.

Donna responds, "I will take him there"

Raven replies, "I'll meet you in a minute."

Donna asks, "Where are you going?"

Wiping sweat from her brow, Raven says, "I'm going to get my healing books."

After about five minutes Dove comes in, "Where is Raven" she inquires. After that, she saw the blood dripping down Beast Boy's face, "Okay, since I am not bleeding, I guess that can wait"

Wonder Girl enters the portal through a portal opened by the Raven. While Raven holds a large stack of books in her hands, Donna asks, "Do you know what's going on with Beast Boy?". Raven shakes her head, signaling that she still does not understand what is going on. Raven tells Donna to lay down Beast Boy on the table. The man wakes up as she stares at him. What's going on, he asks

Raven replies, "I don't know."

"Why am I here" he responds

"Gar, you passed out," she said in the nicest voice she could muster.

Beast Boy asks, "I passed out?". As he looks around, he sees the medical bay. Furthermore, he inquires about his arrival time. He looked down and realized he was wearing only his boxers and then asked for some pants. Raven notes that just now she noticed that he was wearing only underwear. "Super Embarrising, Sorry you had to see this" Beast Boy says

Raven says, "Trust me, I have seen more"

Beast Boy sighs in relief and says, "Okay"

Raven asks, "Do you remember anything from your sleep?"

Beast Boy responds, "I don't"

Raven holds up three fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?" she asks.

"Nine" Beast Boy Responds

"Get me some aspirin or ibuprofen," Raven says to Wonder Girl

"Sure" Wonder Girl responds and brings her a pill bottle

Raven says, "This is acetaminophen."

Wonder Girl asks "Will that work"

"Yeah," Raven Says. She give Beast Boy one of the tablets and some water. Beast boy downs the tablet and water that she gives him

Beast Boy falls back into sleep after everything goes black. Beast Boy was back in a villain's lair. He didn't know who the villain was. He was chained up with his arms, legs, and mouth bound and unable to move. He did not like being chained up. He yelled out to whoever was there. Back in the real world marks appeared on Beast Boy that looked he had just been chained up. "What the hell is happening," Beast Boy asked in the dream.

Back to the real world. Wonder Girl asks Raven "what the hell is going on'

"I don't know Donna," Raven says, trying to figure out what is going on. What are you planning to do, Donna asks

Raven says, "I'm going to wake him up, and then I'm going to see a friend."

"Who is this friend" Donna Asks

Raven says, "You wouldn't know him"

Donna replies, "Try me"

Raven tells Donna, "I think you might recognize him as Morpheus.".

Donna says, "I am not familiar with him"

In the next moment, Raven injects a substance into Beast Boy's veins. Several moments later, he awakens and examines the marks. "Why can't I sleep" said Gar

"When you slept last, this is what happened,"" Raven says

"What happens" Ask Beast Boy

Raven says softly, "You got hurt,"

Beast Boy replied, "I have those marks.". A wince of pain accompanied his attempt to move.

Raven says, "Don't move"

"Why not," Beast Boy replies

Raven shoots back, "Because I said so."

"Yes, ma'am," Beast Boy says with a smile

Raven gets on her phone and scrolls through her contact list. "Where is he?" She says to herself.

"Who are you looking for" Beast Boy Asks

After a brief pause, she doesn't respond. Next, he touches her shoulder. A second time, he asks the question. Raven says, "Nightwing or Robin"

Beast Boy says, "I have his contact information in my phone. If you want it?"

"Yes, under what name is it", Raven asks

With a smile, Beast Boy replies, "Dick Grayson."
