Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans; DC Comics, Warner Bros., and Cartoon Network own them. I do however own this plot and all the original characters I've made up…
Author's Note: I'm sorry to all my Rob/Star fans, but this fic is going to center around BeastBoy and Raven. There will be Robin and Starfire moments at some points… I apologize for the long wait for this chapter. I believe that this chapter will longer than the previous two so, yay! I love Eighteen Visions! They were my inspiration for this entire story. I can't wait for you to meet the evil one!!!
Prevarication
Chapter 3
With the two kids, well teenagers showing up made it even more awkward for BeastBoy and Raven to talk rationally. BeastBoy automatically walked up to his future daughter and gave her a welcoming hug, as did Starfire with Licentious. They talked amongst themselves for a bit until they noticed that BeastBoy's stomach was enacting to grumble from not being fed, from the effect that Star had grabbed him while he was searching for food to settle his stomach earlier. Everyone looked to BeastBoy and chuckled, well for the exception of Raven who grumbled, trying to clear her head of her thoughts of BeastBoy… she knew that with Arden around that her daughter probably read all of the Titans thoughts when they weren't thinking about the fact that Arden could read their thoughts.
"Are you coming, mother?" Arden asked, following the gang out to the T-Car.
"Uhh, yeah." Raven uttered as she made her way behind Arden once again trying to clear her mind of BeastBoy.
"Do you think there will be enough room for all of us to ride in the T-Car?" Robin questioned Cyborg.
"Do you and Star want to meet us at the Pizza Joint?" Cyborg grinned, gaining a blush forming beneath Robin's mask. He rarely took his mask off, the only time Cy could remember when he saw Robin with his mask off was when Star had slipped unconscious.
"Umm." Robin started when he saw Star exit the Tower coming closer to the two, once again he turned a shade of crimson.
"Robin, shall we go on the R-cycle and meet up with the others?" Star asked the question that was reverberating in his mind. He silently nodded his head and walked to the base of the Tower to retrieve his bike. Star smiled up at Cyborg quickly and turned to follow Robin to the bike and mounted on behind him. When they met up with the others at the shore of the island, they rode over the crushing waves. Star looked up to the sky and uttered, "It looks like it will rain tonight." Robin too looked up to the sky and noted to himself to make sure the bike was inside the Tower tonight.
As they came to the brink of the Town, they all came crashing down to the asphalt. Cyborg gunned his engine receiving a glare from Raven and a whoot from Licentious and himself. Robin was following behind him and silently cursed himself as he flicked his wrist and gained speed pulling up beside Cyborg. If it were possible, Robin gained even more speed and sped in front of them, causing them to only see Star's auburn hair going wild from the wind and the rear end of the R-cycle. As they pulled up to the Pizzeria, the gang either slid out of the T-Car or dismounted from the R-cycle.
The gang slowly entered the Pizza joint when something caught BeastBoy's eye, Blonde hair, where has he seen blonde hair before… But before he could enter the pizzeria, the blonde tackled him to the floor. BeastBoy looked up at the girl in shock, it couldn't be, could it?
"T-Terra?!" BeastBoy shouted, trying to pry her arms off of him. After a span of a couple of minutes, he finally succeeded. But when he did, he saw Raven out of the corner of his eyes. Before Raven could spot him, he ran to the nearest alley. He shoved Terra off of his side, which in turn forced Terra up against the wall.
"But, I thought that you liked me… what happened?" She said disappointed.
"Umm, yeah, I liked you, but its different now, me and Ra--." He broke off before he made a fool out of himself. But when he broke off, Terra understood now.
"You mean, that you like that—that—ugh! I can't even come up with a word to describe that apathetic bitch!" Terra bit out.
"Stop that now!" BeastBoy yelled. "You have no right to say that stuff anymore, I thought that you didn't remember what went on in the past. You couldn't even recall who I was, what's with the sudden change of heart." With every word, his voice raised an octave gaining people's interest as they passed by the alley. With his voice made Raven appear. "You shouldn't even be here! You should be dead; in fact you are dead to me." BeastBoy once again yelled, gaining more confidence to overcome his childish past. Terra looked miserable, but that didn't occur to BeastBoy who just wanted to get rid of the past and by doing that, he would get the weight lifted off of him that Terra herself had inflicted upon him, when she left him heart-broken.
Raven looked on in both anger and happiness, now that BeastBoy was finally trying to get rid of the past, thoughts of Terra betraying them made her anger grow. "LEAVE! Before I kill you myself," Raven spoke bitterly to the blonde. With that spoken, Terra ran blindly deeper in the alley. Raven then turned to BeastBoy who had bent his head down shadowing his eyes from her view.
"Do you want to go back to the Tower?" Raven asked him.
"No, I think I'm too hungry to pass up the chance to eat free pizza."
"It is a strange perk from keeping the pizzeria from destruction every time something bad goes on." Raven spoke trying to console him, with whatever she could find useful.
BeastBoy kept his head lowered to the floor, as he exited from the alley starting to cross the street to the pizzeria with Raven shortly following behind him. As he entered, he saw an new face at the usual table that the Titans had reserved. As he took his seat, he saw that the new face was a teenager probably around the same age as Arden. He suddenly felt a need to keep his daughter out of his grasp. The only one he would allow to get near Arden was Licentious and that was because he could feel the tension between the two and now the tension had increased ten-fold. He looked to Licentious who had a grimace on his face. He locked eyes with him and had a silent agreement that they didn't want Arden around this newbie in town.
"Oh, I totally forgot, let me introduce you too…" She trailed off before she mentioned her dad… aka BeastBoy. "You've met Licentious, Robin, Starfire and Cyborg already… Well this is BeastBoy," "BeastBoy, this is Rivet, he's new in town. Oh and look, Raven's coming." "Raven this is Rivet, he's new in town." Arden spoke all too quickly. She looked back to Rivet, and once she locked eyes with him, it felt like she couldn't drag them away. And that earned two glares, well three if you include Raven's. She didn't like to do it, but she felt it necessary, she probed his mind to see if there were any thoughts going on in that head of his.
Author's Note: Okay, maybe not as long as I would've liked it to be, but I found it nice to end on that note… he, he. What do you think of the new character?! I would definitely love some comments or reviews, any would be nice!!! Ja Ne!!!
