The End

BB's POV

Raven and I happily returned home to our awaiting teammates, where questions were answered, pasts were unlocked and secrets were discovered. Apollo followed us halfway back and then went home to Manhattan with the sad news of his fallen sister.

Both of us were closer than ever now, so it was no surprise when I proposed there in broad daylight. Starfire was going 'Aww' the whole time, Cyborg was laughing, and Robin just smiled. Raven was overjoyed at the whole thing and was crying and everything. She fell into my arms and said she loved me, and I said that I loved her back. In six months we were married, happy and together, and things couldn't get better. After two years of marriage, Raven surprised me with a gift. She said it wasn't here yet, but it would be soon. I figured it out almost immediately, and nine months later she delivered a beautiful baby girl whom we named Luna. She looked just like me, with emerald hair and eyes. She had Raven's hardcore attitude and personality, and I loved her. Like I said, life couldn't be better.

We had found out after Luna was born that Star and Robin were getting married. All we could say was that it was about time they committed. They had been keeping their love inside for so long- it's a wonder they didn't blow up from their secret keeping.

Over time I saw that Raven was leaving the house late at night and not returning until morning. She had never kept a secret from me, and I was dying to find out where she was going. So, one morning I asked her where her late night visits led her. It was then that I was afraid what I had asked, because I didn't know what she'd answer. But to my relief, she simply told me the story of Jezzelle and how she still had trouble controlling her powers. Every night she would return to the ruins in Skyhark and train. But deep down inside, I had no idea that her powers were to trigger a phenomenon that was yet to happen. Of course, I had no problem with her nightly travels, as long as nothing was to happen to her. Then one day, her life came to a tragic end.

I was playing with Luna in the back yard of the house that was located in the middle of the country. It was practically the safest place ever, because Luna had to practice her powers and often destroyed things. She only got some of Raven's demon-ness, and would blow up things when she was frustrated or too hyper. Well anyway, I got up from playing and scooped a two-year-old Luna into my arms. I carried her into the house, where I found Raven on her knees on the kitchen floor, breathing heavily. Her pupils shrank to an abnormal size, and her fingernails where grinding into the floor. "Raven?" I asked, my voice edged with pure terror. Luna buried her face into my shoulder and started whimpering, her tiny hand clasping onto the cuff on my shirt. "Mama," she whispered, and started shaking. "Gar…" Raven muttered in a low, demonic tone. "Get Luna out of here. Get away and leave." "What's happening?" I asked, my feet frozen to the floor. "MY POWERS!" Raven screamed, clutching her head while tears ran down her cheeks. Her eyes turned that evil crimson color, and black magic began to bounce everywhere and knock into random things. "GET OUT OF HERE!" Raven screamed again, a torrent of wind knocking me over. I backed away, with Luna still clutching onto me, and ran. I was terrified at Raven's power, and normally, I wouldn't have left. It was because I was protecting my daughter, that I had to leave. I didn't know who to turn to, and as I drove away in the truck with Luna at my side, I could see the massive amounts of black magic surging from our house. I had to go somewhere, but where? As an instinct, I drove to Star and Robin's home, where they would keep Luna safe.

After I was sure my daughter would be all right, I drove back out into the country where our house was standing no more. There was debris and junk strewn about, and in the middle of the destruction, was Raven. She was caked in dried blood and dirt, and seemed so…so lifeless. Or was she?

After a moment of panicking, I noticed her chest slowly rising and falling. Only a small amount of life left. I scooped her up into my arms and held her close, careful not to lose her. I held her hand to my chest, and then heard her faint voice. "Gar…" she whispered. And that was all. She died in my arms that day, my love died. Just when I had gotten her back. I cried endless tears that day, and Luna did as well. I expected she missed her mother, and that she didn't know she wasn't ever coming mouth. The next day, there was a big funeral in honor of the woman who had risked her life. Even as I stand here next to her grave today, ten years later, I can still remember the priest's words. "Yesterday afternoon, a valuable person was lost in a desperate attempt to protect her family. Mrs. Raven Logan is now dead, leaving behind a daughter and a husband. May God rest her soul and bring peace to her unfortunate family…"

Those words…it made me realize that I would never see my love again, until I died. I had known that before of course, but I hadn't gotten that in-depth about it.

I scold myself now as I cry next to Raven's grave, with a twelve-year-old Luna at my side. "I miss her," she whispered, tears pouring down her cheeks as well. She ran her hand delicately over the marble tombstone and looked to the sky, trying to remember those faint memories. I drew her close and whispered words of reassurance into her ear, and then left the graveyard.

That was the last chapter, people. Please review and tell me if it was any good, because I couldn't really feel the sadness, and thought it was a piece of horse manure.

REVIEW AND STAY HAPPY!
