Chapter 10: Life's a Pain
Apartment 2G was rudely kicked open.
"Where is she?" Beast Boy demanded storming in.
"Hey!" Victor shouted.
"Where is Raven?" Beast Boy demanded.
"I haven't seen Raven for a long time," Victor lied.
"Liar!" Beast Boy cried, "Kitty overheard the conversation you had with Robin," he revealed.
"Your ex-girlfriend!" Victor shouted, "she listens in on calls as well."
Beast Boy's face burned.
"That's none of your business," Beast Boy said softly.
"You kicked down my door so you bet it is my business!" Victor exploded, "if Raven was really here, why'd she want to see you?" he demanded, "you seem pretty cosy with your ex."
"I never cheated," Beast Boy countered.
"You lied," Victor said, "and you involved your ex-girlfriend in your engagement plans," he listed, "what did you think would happen?" he asked.
"I definitely didn't expect my girlfriend to cheat on me," Beast Boy threw back.
"She was drunk," Victor reminded him, "what were you, high?"
"You have no right to say that," Beast Boy said upset.
"I have every right," Victor snapped, "it's seems everyone's mad at Raven but Robin," he said.
"Don't you dare say his name!" Beast Boy raged, "he'll never get there those children!" he shouted.
Victor watched Beast Boy in disbelief. He never thought the changeling could scare him. Now he knew he was wrong.
"Beast Boy," Victor said, "you have to calm down."
"I can't," Beast Boy said, "I want to see Raven," he said bursting in tears, "I need to see her, I need to know the babies are alright, I need…"
Victor hugged Beast Boy.
"Shhh," Victor said, "she's just fine," he said, "you just need to calm down and give her some space."
"Space!" Beast Boy cried.
"Yes," Victor told him, "it's bad enough she's upset about Starfire not forgiving her," he said, "even though according to Robin, she's forgiven him," he added bitterly.
"What?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief.
"You heard me, that hypocrite forgives her fiancé then drops her anger on Raven when she tries to call," Victor revealed.
"You mean Raven might've spoken to one of us and Starfire ruined it?" Beast Boy demanded.
"You better believe Raven's in no condition for drama now," Victor responded.
"But she seems completely fine with Robin," Beast Boy said, "I'm mad at both of them!"
"I can understand your anger BB," Victor said, "but Raven's having kids, you can't be upsetting her."
Beast Boy sighed.
"I know," Beast Boy said, "is she really upset?" he asked worriedly.
"Yeah," Victor admitted, "but she and the babies are fine," he said, "it was more of a scare than anything else," he added.
"That Starfire," Beast Boy growled, "if she wasn't pregnant…"
"Wait, she's pregnant?" Victor asked, "when?"
"Two, maybe two and a half months after Raven," Beast Boy guessed.
"Great," Victor said, "I'm steamed at one pregnant woman and protecting another."
"Who's watching her then?" Beast Boy asked.
"Um, a good friend," Victor decided to say.
If he finds out she's with Terra, this will not go well, Victor thought.
Raven sat on the sofa with her cup of tea. Her company was most unexpected.
"So…this is where Terra thought was safe," Raven said simply.
"I don't expect you to be happy about it," Terra said, "but since he agreed to give up his powers, he's been allowed to live on Earth."
"Yes Raven," Trigon spoke, "your father will keep you safe."
