Chapter 7: A Special Place and Becoming Titans

A few days passed and Tara, she was laying down, with her eyes closed, just soaking up some sun, when a shadow came over her. She cracked an eye open.

"Oh hey BB," She said.

"Tara I just wanted to say sorry for what I did the other day," Beast Boy said sitting down next to her, "I just didn't want us to end like it did with terra,"

"I know what you mean," Tara said, "and by it you mean?" she cocked an eyebrow.

"Us…you know our friendship," He said blushing.

Beast Boy hadn't blushed this much in forever. What was she doing to him? He only ever felt this way with one other person Terra; even then it was nothing like he felt now. He liked this new feeling and he planned on keeping it.

"Oh right," Tara said her cheeks tinted pink, "I accept your agrology,"

Shadow and Crow fit in with the other nicely. At the moment they were on the roof talking.

"So Shady, what do you think of the titans?"Crow asked leaning against the wall. He looked at his best Friend who was looking out at the setting sun. "Shady?" Crow said waving his hand in front of Shadow's face.

"Huh," Shadow turned to look at Crow.

"Hey look, it's Beast Boy," Crow said his short attention span kicking in. "And Tara," he said.

"So," Shadow said.

"He's talking to Tara," Crow said.

"So," Shadow said again.

How he had become friends with Crow was beyond him. Crow was loud annoying, and had a very short attention span at times. Shadow on the other hand was smart, quiet reserved when he needed to, be he never pried into other people's business.

"oncvero satni," Crow said.

"Eavesdropping?" Shadow cocked an eyebrow at Crow.

"Shhh," Crow said, "I'm trying to listen." He hissed. Shadow rolled his eyes.

"She's gonna kill you if she catches you," he pointed out.

"If you be quiet she won't find out," Crow said.

"I'm leaving before you get caught," Shadow said walking away.

"Whatever," Crow said.

Beast Boy scooted closer to Tara, "I trust you," he said and he meant it. He felt as though he could trust her with his life, and he's only known her for three days.

"You do?" Tara asked.

"Yeah and now do you trust me?" He asked a sly grin on his face.

"Of course," Tara said without thinking.

"Then will you come with me I have something I want to show you I've never shown any else." Beast Boy said standing up and he held out his hand. Tara stood up and took his hand. He transformed into a giant bird and took Tara away.

Beast Boy took Tara to a cliff. It was a beautiful sight. she could hear the waves crashing rhythmically against the bottom of the cliff. She could smell the saltiness of the seawater. The setting sun perfected the scene with its light pinks, oranges, purples and all the other colors, you could find in a sunset.

"Beast Boy it's beautiful," Tara said looking out into the horizon. It was a breath taking sight.

"None of the others know about this place," Beast Boy said, looking at Tara's amazed expression.

"This place is amazing," she said.

"Yeah I come out here a lot to just think," Beast Boy said.

"It's beautiful," Tara said again. "And you trusted me to show this to me," she said, "Why,"

"If Raven can trust you why can't I?'" Beast Boy said, "And we can share this place," he added. Tara smiled. She couldn't believe he trusted her so much even after he found out about her working for Slade. No one had ever been so nice to besides her own family, and Shadow's family. She sat down and pulled Beast boy so he was sitting next to her.

"Thank you," she said.

"For what?" Beast Boy asked confused.

"Giving me a second chance," Tara said.

Later that night at the Tower, Shadow, Crow, and Tara were alone in the living room.

"I'm bored," Tara said she was lying on the couch. Crow was sitting at her feet and Shadow at his other side.

"We're all bored," Shadow said.

"Where are the others?" Crow asked. Tara kicked Crow and he fell of the couch.

"Huh, I'm not so bored anymore," Tara said kicking Crow again.

"Ow stop," Crow whined as he swatted at Tara's feet. A few minutes passed in silence and the titans walked into the living room,

"hey guys," Beast Boy said grinning.

"Oh hey, BB," Tara said turning around. "Where have you guys been?" she asked.

"Could you guys come with us," Robin asked.

"Uh…sure," Tara said a little unsure.

They left the living room. Beast Boy and Starfire took Tara to a room, where she saw a plaque on the door that read, 'Tara' Tara gasped.

"Is this my room?" She asked.

"Yes," Beast Boy said.

"Robin told me to give you this," Starfire said holding out a communicator. Tara took it.

"So I'm a titan?" Tara asked.

"Yes," Beast Boy said. Tara opened the door to her room. She saw the walls were royal purple and her bed had a lavender pillow and blanket, and saw a circular rug that was a light purple. There was desk by the wall, she walked over to the desk where there was a jewelry box.

"Tara?" Starfire said.

"Did Raven do this?" she asked holding up the jewelry box, tears froming in her eyes.

"Yeah," Beast Boy said.

"New friend please do not cry," Starfire said.

"This belonged to our mother," Tara said. Starfire nodded in understanding. She left the room leaving Tara and Beast Boy alone. "Thank you this is so awesome," she hugged Beast Boy. She quickly let go.

"Sorry," she said her cheeks pink.

Raven took Shadow to a room where he saw a name Plaque that read, 'Shadow,' "Is this my room?" He asked.

"Yeah," Raven said. "Yeah and this is yours too," She said handing him a communicator.

"I'm a Titan?" He said shocked.

"Yeah," Raven said. Shadow opened the door to his room and went in and saw a bed with dark blue blankets and pillows. The curtains were black and so was the rug. He too had a desk. On the walls was a picture of Dras-Leona.

"Did you do this?" he asked pointing to the picture. It was of the royal palace, where he had lived for most of his life. He hadn't been home in almost three years, it's not that he didn't want to go home, but he wanted to find Tara. Somehow him, Crow and Tara had been separated as they traveled to earth. He ended up in Jump City, near the high school, and Crow by the beach. He had no idea where Tara had shown up, when she arrived on earth.

"Thanks Rae," he said hugging Raven.

"Shadow I don't do hugs you know that" Raven said smiling slightly.

"You don't but I do," Shadow said.

"Stop," Raven said. Shadow pulled away blushing ever so slightly.

"You got to loosen up a bit," Shadow said.

Robin and Cyborg led Crow to a room where he saw a plaque that read 'Crow' "Am I a…" He began.

"Yes and this is yours." Robin handed him a communicator.

"This is awesome." Crow went into his room and looked around. His bed has crimson blankets and pillows, "Thank you guys,"

"Don't thank us Raven suggested you were Titans material." Cyborg said.

"She did?" Crow asked.

"Yes," Robin said.
