I was on the roof again. I didn't know why. I rarely slept though so I suppose it was natural to try to avoid the sound of the married couple fighting again. I didn't have Cyborgs ability to shut off hearing while I slept. Floating in the middle of the roof I was almost lulled into a semi-sleep state by the sound of the waves until I heard something hit the roof. Normal people wouldn't have been able to hear it, it was so feint. Probably just a bird, I thought, and ignored it.

"Hey Rae."

I was silent. Only thinking how it must be another illusion my emotions were giving me.

"Aren't you happy to see me?"

I flinched. This was so real. Too real.

"I can leave if you want…" He said sadly.

I finally decided to turn around. No harm in checking I told myself. My eyes got wide and my mouth fell open. Standing in front of me was my favorite changeling. He had changed so much. He was so tall and muscular now. And he had a goatee on an amazingly square jaw. I had never dreamed of him ever being any more handsome than the last time but… here he was.

"Well Rae? Aren't you going to say anything…?" He took a hesitant step forward. "Look. I'm sorry it's been 5 years. I… I just figured you would have someone else and… and I couldn't bring myself to face you after I left… so… so cowardly." When he finished he looked at me expectantly but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move. He was about to turn around when I finally got a tendril of power to escape and enter him.

'BB… I- It's me.' I said telepathically.

"Rae?" He looked back at me very confused.

'When… I gained control. I lost control of my body… I can barely… barely talk to you this way."

He looked extremely worried and ran to me. I of course didn't do anything. I couldn't have. He grabbed me and held me so tight that I could barely breathe.

"Oh Rae… Rae how do we fix this?"

'I… I don't know.'

"I'm so sorry. Sorry for everything. How I left. How I never called… or visited. Everything." He started to cry silently, still holding me.

'I… I still… love you.' I managed out.

Startled. He looked at me face, unashamed of his tears. "I love you too Rae. I thought of you every day." He kissed me again. Just like last time. But this time was different. Strong arms held me. Something snapped. My power encircled and raised us.

"BB… I… I can talk again…?" I was so confused. I had felt it. My emotions had released me from my prison but I couldn't believe it.

"Huh?" He looked just as surprised as I did. Then his face was suddenly gentler. He kissed me lightly again as we slowly set foot on the roof again. "Well that was easy huh Rae?" He laughed spitefully.

"Uh… yea." My voice was still horse from years of disuse. He hugged me tight and I finally reached up and held him back.

-Bang- The loud noise of the rooftop door slamming open startled both of us. It was Nightwing followed by Starfire and a tired looking Cyborg.

"Well well… what do we have here?" Nightwing started.

"Friend… Friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked in disbelief.

Cyborg looked a little more shocked. "Why are you too hugging?" I figured that he always believed BB would come back and no one knew how we had confessed to each other all those long five years ago.

"Uh hi guys." Beast Boy said as he let go of me. He looked panicked.

"What are you doing here, Beast Boy?" Nightwing asked angrily. "I thought you would be long gone and never show your ugly mug around here again."

"Well, Nightwing. First of all, I'm not here to see the team, least of all you. I'm only here for Raven. And dude, your insults won't work anymore. I've grown out of that kinda thing bothering me. And finally, I go my either my given name, Garfield, or Changeling now. I've grown out of Beast Boy." Changeling crossed his arms and looked down at Nightwing.

"It's nice to see you…" Starfire said timidly. She had lost so much fire after marrying Nightwing.

"Yea. You too Star." He smiled sincerely. "You too Cy."

Cyborg just looked stumped. "Why after all these years did you come back?" He asked.

"I already told you, Cy. I came for Raven. I… I made her a promise, 5 years ago." He smiled at me.

"Whatever. Just get out of here, Changeling. You're no longer welcome here as a traitor." Nightwing said with malice. "I'll be forced to take action if you don't."

"Ha. Man… you think you can take me?" Changeling looked more confident than he used to. "You're not the only one who trained these years away."

"You don't have a right to be here." Nightwing took out his staff, pointing it at Changeling.

"Then bring it."

Nightwing surged toward him, swinging his staff down, only to be blocked by Changeling's arm. He then failed to dodge a kick to his side. Nightwing could barely catch himself in a crouch. "What the hell? Since when did you learn martial arts?"

"I learned them with Doom Portal you idiot. You just never let me train with them because it was your thing. I was only the animal remember!" Finishing his sentence, he charged his ex-leader and delivered a series of crushing blows.

"Guh-!" Nightwing was defeated before he could even put up a real fight. "Wh-What the hell man?" He asked, barely getting to his hands and knees.

"That was for being an utter ass of a leader." He turned to me again. It seemed no one noticed the look of shock on my face. "I'm sorry Raven. It looks like I've got to get going again." He said with utter sadness. He walked toward the edge of the building.

"I'm going with you." Every one of my team mates looked at me in shock. Those were the first words they had heard from me in over 2 years.

"What?" Changeling asked.

"I said, I'm going with you." I disappeared for what seemed to them like a split second but to me was long enough to empty my entire room into another sealed dimension and I was back before they really had time to react. "All packed."

"Are you sure Rae?" He asked, glancing at the others.

"I have no place here if you don't."

"You're making a mistake Raven." Nightwing said, standing up.

Starfire looked relieved and sad at the same time. "I'm glad that you have found happiness Raven. I wish you well."

"Uh yea… Just keep in touch Rae. BB. You know the tower land line number." Cyborg said, air fist-bumping with Changeling.

"Goodbye." I said and we took to the air.
