Chapter 10: The Figure Revealed
The next morning, Beast Boy had woken up on the couch. He got up and looked around for a minute before realizing that he wasn't in his bed and neither was Raven. She was right there beside him (when he was asleep) the whole time. Then he walked to the bathroom and looked himself in the mirror. Then he started thinking to himself about the days before. 'Look at yourself Beast Boy; you've become a jerk in just a few seconds from being a nice guy that you've been your whole life. What is wrong with me, I am surprised that Raven still likes me after what I have done. First I yell at Terra, and then I apologize and yell at her again. I have beat up Robin twice now and sent Terra away which got her killed and the worst part is that I slapped my wife. Could I be any more stupid? I am falling apart; I need to pull myself together before I do something else wrong.' Beast boy went back to the couch where Raven is and sat down next to her. "She looks so peaceful and I look like crap." Then he started playing with her hair without knowing it which caused her to wake up.
Raven let out a yawn and then tried to sit up but realized that someone had her hair. Then she looked up to see who it was and saw Beast Boy looking up to the ceiling. "Beast Boy, you have my hair."
That snapped Beast Boy out of his thoughts. "Oh, sorry Raven, I didn't know I had your hair, I was kind of in a daze." He said as he gave her his goofy grin and let go.
Raven sat up and looked at him and wondered what was bothering him. "Beast Boy, there's something bothering you, I just don't know what so could you tell me?" She knows that something is wrong and has an idea of what it is but isn't positive.
"There isn't anything wrong Raven, I am fine." He said lying between his teeth and Raven knew it. She gave him the look that says 'I don't believe that for a second' and Beast Boy saw and gave up trying to hide what he was feeling. "Fine Raven, you win. When I sat down to think I had a worry come to mind. Actually, it's a feeling that something bad is going to happen but I don't know when or even what the bad thing is but it is worrying me and I can't help but think that it has to do with Slade and Terra."
"Beast Boy, that was making sense until you got to the part about Terra." In reality, the same thing was starting to bug her as well but she kept brushing it off and now she was beginning to regret it. "I am scared that somehow Terra is up to something but things just aren't making sense right now. Like, why would Terra ask to be killed and how did Terra know how to find Slade and if she didn't know how to find him, why would she work so hard to find him just to ask for him to kill her? Why would she help us if she wanted us dead? There are so many questions and so few answers. Things just don't add up."
Beast Boy had the same questions and the same answers to them. When he was about to speak up, the team walked in helping Robin to get around since he couldn't see to well. So instead of saying what he was going to say, he said something else so that he wouldn't worry the team. "Hey Robin, how is your, face?"
Robin saw the look on his face and it worried him but he let it go of the worry. "My face is fine but you will do double training to make up for me not being able to see very well."
"Robin, I have been a real jerk lately and I know that I have apologized once already but I think that I should apologize again so sorry everyone." The Three of them looked at him and without saying anything; Beast Boy knew that he was forgiven this time.
"Cyborg, what's for breakfast?" Robin knew what the answer would be but asked anyway.
"We're having waffles and Beast Boy gets to have whatever he wants." Beast Boy looked at Cyborg confused and Cyborg noticed. "You seem to be under some stress Beast Boy so I thought that I could do something for you. In my opinion, I don't think that he should have to train and the same goes for Raven." Cyborg said defending his friends.
Then Starfire spoke up. "I too agree with friend Cyborg that our friends should not have to do the training today." Starfire said in her firm voice.
Robin now seeing that he was outnumbered had no choice but to let them off training today. "Fine, you win, Raven, Beast Boy, you get to relax and do what you want to do to."
"Thanks Robin and thank you two as well for defending me." Then he turned to Raven. "So Raven, you want to go out to lunch today?" he asked wanting to get out of the tower.
"Sure Beast Boy, besides it would be nice to get out of the tower for fun and not because of an emergency." Beast Boy got a big smile on his face.
Cyborg then walked into the kitchen. "So Beast Boy what do you want for breakfast?" He asked already getting out the tofu eggs and bacon.
"Actually Cyborg, if it's alright with my wife, I think I will just have some herbal tea." Then Beast Boy looked at Raven and saw her nod her head in approval. This shocked Cyborg to say the least but he went with it anyway and left Beast Boy to get the tea since Ravens tea was off limits to anyone who doesn't have permission to have some. So Beast Boy and Raven got some tea and went to sit down on the couch and turned the T.V. on to see what is on but like usual, there is nothing. "Seriously, we have over six hundred stations and there is nothing to watch whatsoever. How about we get a movie Raven?"
Raven thought about it for a while and then heard Tela start crying. So she got up and headed to the babies room. When she got there, she picked Tela up then found out why she was crying. "Oh great, why can't babies learn to change their own diapers so the parents don't have to. Girl you stink, I guess I hand you to your father."
In the common room, Beast Boy was waiting for Raven to return with Tela and when she did he smelled something and knew right then and there that Tela needed a diaper change and then he got something that was to be expected but caught him by surprise anyway. "Here Beast Boy, you take her." Then she ran off claiming that she had to brush her hair.
"So should have seen that one coming a mile away when I first smelled something rank. Oh well, may as well change her since Raven won't be coming back till Tela is changed. When Raven finally returned, Beast Boy just looked at her with a blank face. "So you needed to brush your hair huh." Raven gave a sheepish smile. "Very funny, but next time she is yours." Raven just nodded her head. Then she realized that the titans had all gone off to train. They were alone and about to turn on the T.V. when a knock was heard so they got up and answered the door but when they answered it they saw something unexpected and at he same time they yelled. "Terra!
