A/N: And… here we are! Much longer than I thought it would be, but I quite like the results. And… so here we are, staring Bumblebee performing a Thousand Miles. (With a special guest-star on the piano!)

A quick thank-you to everyone who bothered reading, reviewing or just favoriting the last chapter, (and this one as well,) and then on to the disclaimer!

A Thousand Miles and the Teen Titans both belong to their respective owners. All I own is my iPod.


'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton

Bumblebee walked through the crowded streets, arms loaded with heavy grocery bags, making her way through the large amount of people that had just gotten out of either school or work.

Surprisingly, no one stared at the leader of the Titans East as she walked among them, burdened as she was with bulky bags that contained enough food to keep even four teenage boys satisfied for a little while. Perhaps the holographic ring on her finger had something to do with it.

Bumblebee appeared to look like any average teenage girl. She wore a black t-shirt under a yellow unzipped sweater that bore the logo of the local high school. Black skinny jeans sheathed her legs, and to top off the appearance of normalcy, she sported a new pair of white converse. Even her hair looked normal-she'd reluctantly pulled her twin buns into a single ponytail that revealed the full length of her hair. Her stingers were nowhere to be seen as well- she'd stuffed them in the purse that she carried, much to her distaste.

She finally elbowed aside the last few people in her way to the place where she'd parked the vehicle that served as the Titans East's version of the T-Car- a simple plain black hybrid car that was one of the hundreds that roamed the streets of Steel City. She opened the shotgun door and dumped the groceries from her latest trip into the seat. She slammed the door, and walked around to the driver's side's door. She slipped in, rolled down the windows, and started the car. (The E-Car, as Speedy had dubbed it.)

Bumblebee wove the E-Car through the even more crowded roads, passing a wide variety of vehicles, listening to horns honk, drivers shout at each other, and music blare out of the open windows. Deafened and annoyed by the noise, she rolled up her own windows tightly. What's the point of a beautiful spring day if you can't enjoy it properly? She thought grumpily.

She angrily jabbed the button that turned on the radio, and let the music flow over her. She relaxed somewhat, enjoying the music. She knew the song, but she couldn't' recall its name for the life of her.

She pulled up to a traffic light that just turned red, glaring at it as if it would make the light turn green if she terrified it with a good death-stare.

Just then, her communicator rang its stupid little jingle. Bee reached into her purse with one hand, leaving the other to grip the steering wheel. Her hand felt its way past her stingers, wallet and backup holo-ring, finally closing her fingers around the round device. She paused for a second in order to allow her hologram to cover the communicator. When she removed it, to anyone who bothered to look in her direction it looked like a dark blue pain old cell phone. After all, a girl with a Titans' communicator would be a little bit suspicious.

"Bumblebee," she said, wondering briefly who it was, although she had a strong suspicion.

"Hey, Bee!" Speedy said. Something large (and most likely valuable) crashed against the floor in the background. Aqualad's voice rang out in irritation, and from that she guessed that the twins were misbehaving again.

She sighed, wishing she had a little more free time, just as the light turned green. She pressed on the gas, and went forward. "Hey Robin Hood," she greeted in return.

"So…" Speedy said, looking around to make sure no one else was in hearing distance.

"Yes I got your precious hair cream," Bumblebee said with a sigh as she turned left.

"Good," said Speedy with a sign of relief. "So, where are you?"

"Just heading downtown," she replied, glaring at a college-student who thought it was a good idea to cut right in front of her, "I should be home soon."

"Great!" Speedy said, right before dodging something that looked like an iPod. "Um… I better go…"

"Bye," the leader said, snapping the 'phone' shut and tossing it in her bag.

She pulled up into a car park where the Titans East paid to keep the E-Car. They couldn't actually keep the car in the Tower, because it couldn't fly or float. She slid the car neatly into the parking space and exited quickly. She still had things to do that day, and it was almost noon.

Bee yanked open the other door, grabbing the grocery bags. She kicked the door shut after her, since her arms were full. She swore under her breath afterwards, apparently she had kicked it a little bit too hard.

Not to self: ask Sparky to either upgrade this junk-heap or make us a new one.

She walked away from the junk heap in question, off towards the cliffs that hosted the Titans Tower East was built into. Luckily, it wasn't that far of a walk from the parking place.

Bee didn't take that long, because almost no one went that way. The Titans East's Tower wasn't exactly a tourist attraction, unlike its western counterpart. Few people went this way except for villains and thrill seekers. And of course, the Tower's occupants.

Bumblebee placed her bags down by her feet in order to remove the holo-ring. Not that it was necessary- she could still fly while wearing it- but the twins and Speedy didn't react very well when she walked in still wearing it. She's been attacked six times to date.

Holo-ring off and stowed safely away in her purse, Bee picked her bags and quickly flew down. She landed on the roof, and the light on the door flashed green, sensing a Titans' communicator nearby.

"Open," Bumblebee said clearly, and the door smoothly did so, recognizing her voice patterns. Originally it was just supposed to just sense the communicator, but the system had been upgraded after the fight with the Brotherhood of Evil.

Bee walked into the hallway and began the trek down to the kitchen.

A little while later, she had arrived, interrupting yet another argument between Aqualad and Speedy about seafood.

"How could you?" Aqualad yelled, holding up the offending blue box of fish fingers.

"I was hungry, and they looked good," Speedy said arrogantly, holding up a mirror to check his hair.

"If you're hungry, go and get something that was never SENTIMENTAL!" the Atlantean howled, looking about read to kill his friend.

"They're fish," Speedy replied, running a comb through his hair, apparently unaware that Menos had spilled glue over it earlier that day.

"EXACTLY!" Aqualad shouted, but that was when their leader walked in.

"Shut it," she advised, dumping the groceries on the counter. She turned to face the two boys, hands on her hips, "And Speedy, if you ever bring fish in here again, I'm not buying your hair cream anymore."

Aqualad made a choking sound that sounded suspiciously like a laugh. "Hair cream?"

"I could just go out and buy it myself," Speedy pointed out, ignoring Aqualad.

"And run into your little fanclub again?" Bee asked, smirking.

Speedy sweat dropped at the memory- those rabid fangirls (and boys) had chased him down six streets, stealing his bow, messing up his hairdo, and ripping his costume. One particularly obsessed girl had spent almost five minutes trying to remove his mask.

"iHola señorita Bumblebee! iTenemos a buscar el correo!" Mas and Menos proclaimed, zooming into the room, holding out a small stack of letters and packages.

"Looks like the mail's here," said Speedy, almost instantly forgetting about the fan-girls incident.

"I think that's what they just said," Aqualad observed, taking the pile, and beginning to sort them out, "Two for me… one for Speedy… two for Bee… three for the twins… another one for Speedy… another for Bee… package for the twins… another for me…"

"Ooh!" the twins seized their package happily, and it soon disappeared in a flurry of cardboard pieces and tape.

Speedy opened his first letter, and a funny expression appeared on his face, "Another one?"

"Another restraining order?" Bumblebee asked, ripping open one that was from the Titans West.

"Yes! That's the third one this year!"

Aqualad rolled his eyes and concentrated on an invitation for some event or another.

"A charity concert?" Bee said aloud, reading off of the letter. So much for any contact with Cyborg. It had been, what a week now? He was a horrible boyfriend.

"A concert that shall feature several Titans' signing. Please attend. The concert takes place on Friday April 13… all Titans' must be in attendance." Speedy read, a grin on his face.

"What are we supposed to be doing that day?" Bee asked

"Nothing. We're open," Aqualad replied, looking up from his own invite.

"¡Ooh! ¡Un concierto! ¡Quizás el bonita Señorita Starfire firmará en ello!" Mas exclaimed, looking over Bumblebee's shoulder.

"¡Aposté tiene una hermosa voz cantante!" Menos added, grinning.

"You going to sing in this, Bee?" Aqualad said, looking at the leader.

"Why not?" she said, looking up with a slightly evil grin, "I know just the song…"


Cyborg watched Kid Flash and Jinx settled down to watch the rest of the concert. He grinned slightly. He knew that they would have gotten back together sooner or later. He just hadn't expected it to take that long.

He glanced at the program that Robin had whipped up, although he knew what it said. Bumblebee was up next.

The lights dimmed, and then came back up. But when they turned back on, a grand piano was there, and it wasn't Bee at the piano… it was Raven.

Beast Boy, sitting next to him made a choking noise. "What is Raven doing up there?" he demanded, looking very much confused.

"She's playing the piano for Bumblebee," Jinx explained, rolling her eyes. "She's singing later."

"She's SINGING?" Beast Boy staged whispered, looking absolutely shocked, "But I begged her for seven hours, and she still said no!" he paused, before asking another question, "And since when does Raven play piano?"

"She changed her mind, for various reasons that I'm not allowed to tell you," the sorceress replied, waving her hand in the air.

"Shhhhh… it's starting," Kid Flash said, pointing at the screen.


Bee waited behind the curtain, listening for her queue. Raven started to play, her fingers flying over the piano. She pushed open the curtain, and began to sing. Just as she did, the slideshow that Cyborg had made to go with her song began.

"Making my way downtown," she began, facing the audience, blinded by the lights. Behind her, pictures of buildings began to flash, as if showing her moving.
"Walking fast,
Faces passed,
And I'm home bound." A picture of a crowd appeared, with facing appearing and disappearing quickly. Raven kept on playing, her eyes focused on the keyboard.

"Staring blankly ahead," she continued, smiling,
"Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd…" she paused as Raven played the bridge into the refrain.

"And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...." her eyes finally located Cyborg, sitting in between Kid Flash and Beast Boy, smiling up at her.

"If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight…" she said, walking backwards toward Raven.

"It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me…" She sat down on the piano bench next to Raven, still facing the crowd as she continued to sing.

"'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories…" she thought she heard Raven snigger, and she looked up to discover that Cyborg had selected a picture of the two of them together for that verse. Luckily both Raven and Bumblebee managed to control themselves in time for the refrain.

"'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder..." she continued, getting up and walking back towards center stage.

"If I could fall
Into the sky," the background changed again to a cloudy skyline, and the camera was rolling upward, as if to make it look like she was flying.
"Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight…" Raven began the bridge again, hands flying.

"And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...." she trailed off, and the screen behind her turned back to the way it had been at the beginning .

"Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound," she sang again, walking back towards the piano.

"Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd," once again she sat down on the piano bench, but this time she turned so she and Raven were parallel.

"And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...." her eyes drifted off into the distance, and it took a little effort to continue.

"If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you..." the Titans' Tower appeared on the background, quickly to be replaced by a picture of every single Titan.

"If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles," here the piano began to sink into the floor, taking Raven and Bumblebee with it.
"If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight…" Raven played like crazy, her hands flying all over the keyboard in order to play all the right notes, despite the fact that they were now out of the audience's sight. The audience burst into applause, and grinning, Bee dragged Raven back up to take a bow or two. The half-demon looked incredibly uncomfortable, and after about thirty seconds of that, she quickly walked off stage, taking Bumblebee with her.

"That's the last time," she snarled to Bee, stalking off towards the green room. She just shook her head. She knew that Raven would go back on stage, and quickly. She was on next, after all. She couldn't back out now, not after she had promised Starfire that she would sing.

Bee walked off the back-stage, weaving her way back towards her empty seat next to Cyborg. No one really noticed her, since they were too preoccupied watching Robin go back on the stage and announce that Raven would be on next.

She slipped next to Cyborg, and glared up at him. "Great job," he whispered, taking her hand.

"Thanks. You had to put up the picture of us, didn't you?" she responded, glaring at him.

He shrugged innocently, and she rolled her eyes. But before she could scold him any further, however, both of their attention was directed back toward the stage as Jericho walked on, and the very loud cheers started.

"First Raven plays for Bee, then Jericho for Raven? What's going on?" Beast Boy demanded crossly.

"I don't play the piano, and Raven doesn't play the guitar," Bee informed him, leaning forward to see around Cyborg.

"Does anyone know what she's singing?" Jinx asked, mouth twitching.

Cyborg shrugged. "Some song that I've never heard of, by an artist who I've never heard of."

"Wow, that's helpful Sparky," Bee joked, lightly punching him on the shoulder.

"I better go," Beast Boy said, eyes widening, "It's about to start!"

And with that, he dashed off.

Jinx, Kid Flash, Cyborg and Bumblebee all turned to look at each other, and shrugged. With Beast Boy, who knew?


A/N: Next in the line-up, we have Raven singing Michelle Branch's 'Everywhere,' featuring Jericho on the guitar. I'm still looking for a song for Starfire to sing, and if you feel like it I'm open to a few more pairing songs… I'll except, let's see, Jericho and Kole, Argent and Hot Spot, oh, and why not? I'd even do a Speedy/Cheshire if you have an idea for the song. Um… and if you have any other ideas for a pairing that I'd probably do it. No promises though. Hope you liked this!

The one and only, Hinn-Raven.

Oh, and I almost forgot, here's the translation of what Mas and Menos said:

iHola señorita Bumblebee! iTenemos a buscar el correo!: Hi Miss Bumblebee! We went and got the mail!

¡Ooh! ¡Un concierto! ¡Quizás el bonita Señorita Starfire firmará en ello!- Ooh! A concert! Perhaps the beautiful Starfire will sing in it!

Aposté tiene una hermosa voz cantante: I bet she has a beautiful singing voice.
