Chapter 9
"Robin" whined Beast Boy "Can you get to the point already?"
Robin glared at Beast Boy "I would, if you would stop whining every 5 seconds!"
"Okay, okay" Beast boy said frowning "But your meeting thingie is taking to long"
"Anyway" said Raven directing a glare at the both of them "This planet is in danger if Cascade stays, so Robin and myself have asked him to leave"
Beast Boy sprawled on the sofa sat up abruptly "What?"
"Use your ears BB" said Cyborq wearily "They may come in handy"
"I said" repeated Raven grumpily "Cascade will be leaving tomorrow around this time because he is a danger to everyone if he stays on this planet"
"But" said Starfire her green eyes widening "He is such a good friend"
"He is also dangerous" said Raven, her patience wearing thin
"It doesn't matter" said Robin "He's going tomorrow whether you like it or not!" with that he stomped out of the room slamming the door behind him.
"What was that about?" asked Cascade poking his head in the room
"Robin just informed us about your departure tomorrow" said Starfire solemnly "Is it true?"
"Yes" said Cascade sadly "I can't stay"
"On the bright side" said Beast Boy happily "You have one full day to enjoy!"
"Yeah" said Cyborg excitedly "We'll take you all over town!"
"I will do the hanging out with you!" said Starfire "It will be lots of fun!"
"Sure!" said Cascade "In a minute" he turned to address Raven "Can I speak to you for a minute? Privately?"
She looked like she was about to say no
"Please?" he added
"Oh alright" she conceded "Out" she waved a hand at the others.
They trooped out "We'll meet you at the T-car"
"What?" said Raven after the other titans had left the room
"I know you hate me" said Cascade "I want to know why"
"You know perfectly well why" said Raven harshly
He sighed "I know. But can't you give me another chance?"
"Why should I?"
"Because, I've changed" he said "I'm not like I used to be"
"Your spoilt and selfish" she said flatly "You didn't help with a rebellion at all, you simply ran off seeking attention"
"Don't try to deny it" she added quickly "I know It's true. You've always been like that"
"I've changed" he said again
"I highly doubt that"
"Just give me one more chance" he pleaded "Just one more chance"
"Long ago" she said "When I lived on Azarath, I gave you a chance. I made it clear you had one chance and you stuffed it up. Now, years later you come seeking another chance, a chance I don't think you deserve"
"Fine" said Cascade darkly "If that's the way you're going to be"
"It is"
Cascade began to walk away, and then an idea crossed his mind he slowly turned around and stepped closer to Raven. He grabbed her arm.
"Let go" she hissed
He smiled grimly and leaning forward kissed her, just as Robin opened the door.
