Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the original Teen Titans…
All was quiet inside the darkened tower shaped like the letter T. The place seemed practically vacant with the diminishing amount of things remaining and untouched. A dim light came into view as the massive front door opened, revealing two familiar now young adults. The tall guy with green skin and hair plopped down on the couch in exhaustion. His friend, the pale, slender young woman with now shoulder length violet hair with piercing violet eyes to match, settled gently on the armrest next to him.
"You think we would have beaten Cinderblock easily since we've had to deal with him so much." The young man muttered.
The violet girl shrugged before sitting down next to him. The teammates took in the silence and sighed.
"Raven, it just hasn't been the same since they all left." He replied openly, sadness evident in his voice.
"I know Beast Boy." Raven softly answered, staring into emptiness as the memories invaded her mind.
For a while, their team, the Teen Titans had consisted of three other constant members. Each with their own gift, they took care of every bad guy and threat in town as well as each other. Their fearless leader, Robin, kept them in line and together through anything. When he became the mighty Batman's apprentice, Nightwing, he just left and resumed his leadership to the half human/ half machine mechanic, Cyborg. Things began to fall apart soon after that. The tall fiery red- headed friendly alien teammate known as Starfire left, supposedly to return to her home planet. The others knew of her deepening loss of their comrade that plagued her with sadness each passing day. They all felt the same in similar ways. The remaining three had managed to stick together for a further nine months before Cyborg decided that it was also time for him to move on.
The last two of the Teen Titans sat there, consumed in the thoughts of their lost friends.
"We can't keep doing this on our own Rae."
Beast Boy slumped forward, covering his face with his hands. Raven moved closer and gently placed her hand on his shoulder in comfort.
"I miss them too Gar,"
Not a word passed between them as she began rubbing his back. After a moment, the changeling straightened up and looked at the half-demon keenly.
"Raven, you have to promise me that we will always stick together, no matter what…"
"I'm sure we'll see them again—"
"Rae, please!" He pleaded, taking her hands carefully in his. The empathy looked at the young man who had become her dearest friend throughout the years they've spent together with understanding eyes.
"I promise," She quietly answered with a genuine smile. He smiled back.
After a long moment of staring at each other, Beast Boy stood, pulling Raven up with him.
"How about we get something to eat? I'm starving,"
Raven nodded in agreement and followed quickly after the impatient young man going out the door.
Once outside, the two head on their way to their favorite pizza place. The tower stood tall and strong against the night sky.
That last little part is supposed to be kind of a zoom out of the tower and a transition of it starting in the next chapter, which will start where it is 18 years later. You'll understand why. I can't guarantee that this will be updated quickly as I'm also trying to keep my grades up. Math is a killer. Anyway, please R&R and add this on story alert if your interested on reading more!
