"It is simply disgraceful Mr. Smith. Those young teens live in the tower all by themselves. They have no parental supervision, they fight dangerous villains everyday until the wee hours of the morning, they have no one to insure they are taken care of properly, and the city just looks away from all that." A short gray headed woman in her late 50s paced in front of the mayors desk. She was agitated and kept fidgeting with her gray wool suit. "They need proper homes and a proper life."

"Mrs. Sanders! They have lived there for three years. They have been a service to our city and have not shown any signs of neglect or troubled youth. They appear to be normal. If you don't include their powers. Must I add that this was completely voluntary and that they really have no where else to go." The mayor was tired. Mrs. Sanders visited him almost everyday. He swore she was obsessed with getting the Titans out of the tower. He was almost ready to give up and give in. "Please can't we just let things remain as they are."

"Absolutely Not! I have a court order here to have those children removed and put into proper homes." The mayor jumped up from his seat.

"Mrs. Sanders can't we compromise on this."

"I hardly believe that is possible."

"Look they are the cities protectors. We NEED them! I . . . I . . .Look how about a adult moves into the tower. That way they are taken care of and they can continue to fight."

"NO! They leave TOMORROW!"

"Raven watch out!" Cyborg yelled running to help the dark girl with three of Slade's robots that were ganging up on her. He reached her and knocked a fourth robot from coming up behind her. Raven turned around and saw a robot hurling part of the wall towards Starfire.

"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven stopped the flying wall and threw it back at the robot. Soon the fight was over. The Titans looked around them breathing heavily. Soon Robin started to laugh and couldn't stop. The others looked at him quizzically, but the laughter was contagious and soon everyone was laughing. All of a sudden Starfire stood up from the floor she had been siting on.

"Where is Beast Boy?" The others looked around them. The green changeling was no where to be found. The Titans called for their friend and started to dig through the rumble. They finally found their team member huddled in a corner trapped by a large bolder. Terra ran over to sooth his whimpers of pain as Raven moved the rock. The Titans coward around as Raven checked Beast Boy over. He had a broken finger, but was pretty much fine. Raven healed the finger as much as possible; grumbling about weak people and their petty pains.

The team loaded up in the car and headed home. They decided to pick up pizza on their way. They got garlic for Raven, mint frosting for Starfire, Olives for Robin, Pepperoni for Cyborg, Veggie for Beast Boy, and Cheese for Terra. At the tower a two cars were waiting. Raven looked over at Cyborg with a question on her brow. He gave her an I don't know look.

"Anyone expecting people?" Robin asked. Everyone shook their heads. They pulled into the garage. Mrs. Sanders stepped from the car closets to them. They all groaned. This wasn't the first time Mrs. Sanders had payed them a visit. She was always snooping around trying to find the workings of neglect. Her eyes surveyed them trying to find any form of injury.

The Teams clothes were dirty and dusty. Raven had a tear near her chest that she was conscious of. Mrs. Sanders noticed and gave her a reproving look. Raven crossed her arms over the tear. Starfire hid behind Robin. Mrs. Sanders never approved of any of the girls looks. In her eyes they all dressed like sluts. Her eyes snapped to Beast Boy. He tried to hide his finger, but it was to late.

"Just as I thought! I am glad I got this when I did." She held up a legal document. Robin's eyes widen as he read it. Raven gasped and Terra started to shake.

"They gave you a COURT ORDER to put us in FOSTER care!" Robin screamed. Mrs. Sanders nodded. Starfire looked around confused.

"What is this foster of care?"

"They take you away from your home, friends, family, everything, and put you with complete strangers. It is supposed to be in your best interest. I admit it helps some people, but for others its Bull Shit!" Cyborg let a tear slide down his cheek unnoticed. Starfire ran into Robins arms crying. "I'm not going back into that God Damn system! You can't make me!"

"Yes I can, and I will. You all leave now. You have a hour to pack your bags. We have already arranged homes for everyone, except Ms. Raven." Raven's eyes widened. If they didn't have a home for her then where was she going to go. "She will be put in the county Children's Home."

"You mean the hell house." Cyborg growled. He put a hand on Raven's shoulder. Raven turned to look at him. She saw real pain and fear in his eyes. She tried to smile, but couldn't master the task. Mrs. Sanders handed them all a garbage bag. They could only take what they could fit inside it. They all walked into the tower. The laughter that had taken place after the victory seemed so far away.

Raven packed her bags silently. She put in as many clothes as possible, her mirror, cd player and her favorite CDs, Half her book shelf, some toiletries, and a scrapbook Starfire had made her. She sighed as she sat down on the bed. She had put on some dark blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a dark purple tank top. She looked around at the almost bare room. She couldn't help it anymore. She started to cry, and the tears wouldn't stop.

She heard a knock on her door and she silently let it slide open. Cyborg walked in. He took one look at her and stopped. He had never seen her look like this. He knew she really cared about things, but it still took him by surprise. He walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. Wrapping an arm around her, he let her grab onto him and let her cry.

"Raven, I will find away to see you again. We all will see each other. This is not the end." "Yes it is. You told me yourself. You haven't seen your family or friends since the car accident. Cyborg I'm so scared!"

"Hey I thought, Raven didn't do fear." Raven managed a small smile.

"I lied!" Cyborg looked down on the beautiful girl he was holding. He knew how Robin and Starfire, Beast Boy and Terra were probably saying goodbye. He wanted to tell Raven how much he loved her, but he couldn't do that to her. If they never saw each other again it would be to hard for her.

Raven sat in Cyborgs arms crying. She wanted to tell him that she loved him and to hear him say he loved her. She only had a couple of minutes left. What could it hurt to try. "I love you!"

"Raven . . ."

"Cyborg I love you so much. Please tell me that you love me to!" His heart was breaking. He just couldn't do it.

"Raven . . . You are my best friend. I will always love you, but not the way you want me to. Know that if you need me find me and I will help." His heart broke and he fought to hold back tears. Surely telling her wouldn't . . . No he thought. It has to be this way.

Raven pushed away from him and wiped her tears away. She was heartbroken. She grabbed her bag and dragged it out the door. Cyborg sighed. He let some of the tears go. As he looked around the room with his blurry vision, he saw a small pillow on the bed. It read Love always in embroidery. He grabbed it. It smelled just like Raven. Pushing it into his bag he got up and left.

Outside Mrs. Sanders stood by the two cars. One was to take Raven to the Home, and Starfire to her new home. The other would take the rest. Everyone looked around them. No one could bring themselves to say good bye first.

"Well I always wanted to be normal." Beast Boy tried to joke, but not even he was laughing. He climbed inside the car. Starfire turned to Robin and kissed him through her tears. Raven turned away. Starfire ran to the car crying. Robin fought to hold back tears as he said farewell to the team that had served him for three years. Terra climbed in next to Beast Boy and cried into his shoulder. All that was left standing outside was Cyborg and Raven.

"Goodbye Cyborg." Raven said monotonously.

"Raven wait . . ." Raven didn't give him a chance she slammed to door and the car drove off. Cyborg sighed and climbed into the car with the others. As they drove along the road it started to rain.
