Afterward Ch. 1
By: Sensei-Briefs
As snow fell on a sleeping city, a figure, silently, but swiftly, moved through the allies.
Another figure also moved through the streets, frantically scurrying as fast as they could.
Just then, the second figure was a pond the first, "Raven?"
The cloaked figure turned towards the sound, "I remember that voice, Beast Boy."
"Raven it is you!" He embraced his old friend only to remember that she didn't like that, "Sorry, I forgot."
"No, no its fine.
"How've ya been Rae?"
"I've been well. You?"
"Great!"
"I'm glad to hear that, I was just heading home, do you wanna come?"
"I get to see your house?!"
"Yeah…" she replayed, slightly confused.
"I never got to go in your old room, yet never imagined that I would get to see your home."
"Are you comin'?" She was already walking.
"I'm coming." Beast Boy ran to catch up.
Raven opened the door to her apartment. The one room house resembled much of her old room in the Tower.
"Gees Rae, ever think about redecorating?" B.B. joked.
"Why? Don't you like it?"
"No, actually I do. It's something I've always liked about you Raven."
"Oh, really." The pale girl blushed under her hood.
"Man, it's really cold in here."
"Sorry, this isn't the best apartment building ever. It has a really bad draft," she picked up something, "Blanket?"
"Sure thanks."
Raven walked around the kitchen fiddling with a bunch of odd dishes, till a kettle whistled in protest. "Tea?" she asked, offering him a cup.
"Uh, sure. So have you heard about the others?"
"Bits and pieces," she replied, pouring herself a cup.
"Ya know, you've hardly changed, Raven."
Raven hadn't changed. She had grown a couple of inches to now 5'9'', but her hair had grown the most, now down to her waist. She, being herself, still wore her classic blue cloke.
"You really haven't changed either, Garfield, well, you've gotten taller."
Beast Boy was taller, by the least 7 inches, making him around 6 feet tall. He also no longer wore his insanely cold junpsuitm but replaced it with jeans and a t-shirt. Beast Boy was now increadably handsome, having let his hair grow a little shaggy and filling out his face.
"Thanks, Rae."
Raven offered a chair at the small two chair table, quickly taking a seat herself. They sat for a while, each sipping quietly on their herbal tea.
"So Rae, there was a reason I tracked you down."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yeah. I, I gotta tell ya something."
"Yes, what is it?" She asked, curious.
"Raven, I – I love you…" The kettle broke by a black aura.
