A/N: Hey dudes! I totally forgot to put one of these on here last chapter! How's it going? Hopefully you liked this last chapter, and really dig the new one. It's gonna feel a little more rushed, but, I had a lot I wanted to pack into it, in order to move forward. Anyway, here comes Chapter 2!

"Garfield! Open the door!" Raven called as she knocked on his door. She had expected the shapeshifter to keep his distance after the meeting, after she had been so cold to him. She didn't want to be so cold and abusive to him, but she didn't know how to express what she felt. She knew that she definitely had feelings for the shapeshifter, however, she wasn't sure if A) she could express those feelings without destroying half of Jump City, or B) Beast Boy would requite her feelings. So, she kept pushing him away, trying to cover up her feelings, trying to keep everything the same as it was. Whether or not he was interested in her romantically, he was the closest to her, and she was close to him as well. "This is pointless." The door was suddenly covered in ebony energy, and promptly split open. No sign of him, but, nothing seems out of the ordinary. It's still a mess, his ChatMan still open, wait, what's that? Raven walked closer to Gar's desk, only to find it how it had been left, with their group message open, a message from someone named "Rita". Wait, 'Rita'? Isn't that Elastigirl? What would Gar's mom have sent him? She read that note first. Oh God. That's where he went. It's not because he's mad at us, it's because his father died. Oh, Azar. It was then that she saw the other note.

'Titans,

It hurts me to do this, but, I have to leave one family for another. Mento died, and Elastigirl needs me.

Beast Boy'

"Dick, Victor, Kori! Get in here!" He's gone. BB's gone. We have to find him.

"What's going on, Rae?" Victor was the first to arrive. Raven didn't say anything, simply pointing to the computer screen, and handing him the note. "Wow. He needs us. Do you know where he is?"

"Not a clue. I would imagine on his way to Midway City though."

"What's going on, guys? What've you got, Raven?" Dick entered the room, alongside Kori.

"Yes, friends, have you located friend Garfield?" Kori questioned, quite worriedly.

"Take a look, Dick." Victor responded, allowing his boss to read the note and the message.

"Raven, call him now. He needs us, this can't be easy for him." Dick quietly spoke.

Raven took out her communicator, and found Garfield. She pressed onto the image of his face, and waited as it patched through.

"Hey, Rae. Found the note?" Garfield answered on the fourth ring.

"You bet I did. Where are you? I'm coming right now." Raven responded, voice hoarse with worry.

"I just stopped in Denver, I'm staying here for the night."

"I'm coming. Guys," Raven turned from the communicator, "I'm going to Garfield, head over to Midway. We'll meet you there." Upon finishing the statement, before Dick, Gar, or Victor could respond, she slid into a black hole in the floor, reappearing next to Gar, arms open wide, heart aching. "Come here." Gar, seeing Raven, walked over to her, and wept into her shoulder. They remained there for hours, Gar sobbing, and Raven stroking his hair, offering him what comfort she could. Eventually, Garfield looked up, into Raven's eyes, which were also glistening with tears.

"Let's get some sleep, Rae. We're still about halfway to Midway." He finally spoke, voice cracking.

"I can bring us there right now. Would you like that?" She replied, wishing she could make this all go away. He nodded. They were lowered into a dark ring, and popped out in Doom Patrol HQ. Rita ran to Garfield.

"My son! I love you so much, don't ever leave me, and come here!" Rita cried out as she grabbed Gar. They grabbed each other tight, and wept openly.

"Might be best to leave them alone for a bit. They need a little space. C'mere kid, you can come and talk with Cliff and me." Negative Man piped in, surprising Raven slightly. Agreeing with his logic, she followed him down the hall, into what looked like a lounge area. They walked over to Robotman, who was sitting on a couch, trying to find something to watch on TV.

"Volleyball, News, The Real World, Fashion Police, no, no, no, and no. What the hell is this? World Of Fungus? How is that even a thing? Where is the market for this? Oh, hey kid. Larry, I see you've brought the dame. I'm guessing the prodigal son is with Rita?" Cliff said without turning.

"How did he—" Raven began.

"Biosensors. Also, you were pretty loud when you came in. I don't have ears, but, jeez. Like listening to a jackhammer on a chalkboard." Cliff answered without hesitation. Still facing the television, he patted the other two spaces on the couch. "Come here, let's talk. I don't bite."

"It would be the best time to talk about this. Although it feels out of place. This stuff was always Mento's job. Never been a fan of all the diplomatic junk. Rather just tell it how it is, you know? Anyway, you should know, don't expect the kid to go back to Jump City anytime soon." Negative Man began, speaking quickly.

"What do you mean?" Raven replied, confused. Gar can't leave, not now. What will I do? What will Cy do? Who'll make those corny jokes? Or the surprisingly edible tofu-dogs? He can't leave now, I won't let him!

"Kid, his father figure just died. He's not gonna be alright for a while, you know? Plus, she's the only one who could get Rita out of her funk. Who knows how long it'll take before she'll be alright. They need each other, and Rita's not going anywhere. I have the feeling he'll be here for a few months, at least." Larry replied, a little more calmly. "This isn't one of those things that you just get over in a day, all willy nilly. He might need some time here. Plus, a little birdie told me you guys were gonna go your separate ways soon anyway."

How did he know that?

"To answer your question, and several others: A) the Bat-boy kind of asked us that, if it were to happen soon, if we were to have a spot open, which, for the kid? Always; B) it's not my call if you or anyone else can join up, and it's a little too soon to add some fresh blood; C) it's as plain as the day is long that you wanted to ask me those, your face said it all." Robotman offered. "Again, robot. Visual scanners and stuff."

"Oh. So, what do I do then?" raven asked, clearly dismayed.

"Well, I think we're going to take a little time out from travelling the world, and focus on Midway. Stay home you know? As for you, I don't know, go out for the Justice League? Find a city and go solo for a while? I heard Seattle's open, now that Green Arrow went back to Starling." Negative man replied. "Also, I think we're going to have a team meeting, and see where we want to be, how we're gonna get there, stuff like that. Since you're here, you might as well attend. An extra two cents can't hurt."

"Alright, I can manage that. When would that be?"

Negative Man's communicator and Robotman's eyes beeped and glowed red. "Apparently, right now."

A/N: Oh, snap! Let's see how things turn out there! Also, the rest of the titans arrive next chapter! Tune in next time for The Doom Patrol! Also, please review, I'd really like a little input on where I could be better in writing this, or what you really like. No pressure though!
