It wasn't easy for the Teen Titans lately, they had just lost Tara Markov or Terra as she was called. Everyone was grieving, Even one of Tara's school friends and Teen Titan, Mavis Golub or May as she liked to be called, but she was Mastermind, a telepathic mind controlling hero who knew fact from fiction in a heartbeat. Her skin was pale, and her hair was black and blue; It was always in a ponytail on the shoulder with a soft texture of hairspray. Besides her mind powers, she also knew how to block sounds and brainwash anyone who knew too much about anything secretive. She was friends with every one of her teammates.
It was night, the Titans Tower was peaceful and silent. May was playing her guitar in her room when she heard a knock at the door; "Come in." she said gently the door opened with black force; It was Raven. "What's going on Rae?" She asked the half-demon girl in the dark "I think I have a crush on someone." Raven said nervously trying to control her emotions, May ran over to calm her down; She made three blue beams of light and threw them at the door so that no one could hear what Raven and May were talking about. "So Rae, who do you have a crush on?" May said gently "How about you guess May." Raven suggested with a smile. May nodded and began to think, "Is it, Garfield?" May guessed, with a giggle. "No," Raven answered, "He's too much of a goofball to hang out with." May thought again and asked, "Is it, Dick?"Raven shook her head "He's with Kori." she said. May took one final guess "Is it, Damien?" Raven smiled and nodded
"Oh my goodness Raven, you and Damien, are perfect for each other." May excitedly said, then she calmed down "Raven," May said, "I think the only thing Damien needs is support. I mean, he's used to being alone and he is probably very sweet once you get to know him." she told Raven "Maybe you two should talk to each other a bit more. Like, getting to know him." May was quick with advice. "Thank you." Raven said happily "You're welcome." May said as she brought the beams of light back in her hands to unblock the sounds as Raven exited. "Good luck Rae." She said waving goodbye. May closed the door and went back to her guitar playing. Music calmed her down, it was the only thing she liked to hear during the night.
She soon heard a scratching at the door and a quiet "Meow." She opened the door to see a fluffy, dark green cat near her bedroom door; she knew who it was, but she just pretended that he was just a cat. "Hey kitty, how are you doing?" the cat shed a tear as she picked him up and took him to her bed. "Gar, I feel the same way; we were all great friends, three peas in a pod." May said as she pets the green cat on her lap; "I miss her too, but just remember;" she spoke gently "We'll always have each other." She heard him purring and walking to the other side of her bed "I'm guessing you want to sleep with me tonight?" May smiled; the cat whispered gently into her ear "Yes, I don't want to be alone tonight." then he licked her cheek, and turned back into the teenager he truly was.
Gar embraced her lightly and warmly "If I loved you," She said brightly "I would love you for who you really are and not by how you look." "Really?" he asked looking in her dark blue eyes, she nodded in agreement. "I've already lost Terra," He told May "But I don't want to lose you next." He placed a kiss on her lips and held her tightly. May was in shock, she couldn't believe that the boy she had a crush on was kissing her right on the lips; She deepened his kiss and touched his green cheek. "Why did you kiss me?" she asked a bit surprised "Because," Gar said looking more, red in the face than green "You are one of my best friends, and you always fix my problems. But you are someone I also-" "Have a crush on?" May finished, he shook his head yes; she smiled and laid on his chest close to his beating heart "I have a crush on you too" she whispered as she fell asleep. Gar kissed her forehead and went into slumber afterward; "I'm happy May likes me." he thought "Let's hope it will last."
It was a peaceful night indeed.
