Teen Titans: Secret


CHAPTER ELEVEN


"Well…" Raven began.

"Yes?" led on Robin.

In one whole breath, Raven said "Something is coming after me, it's not my father, and I just know something bad is going to happen to me! And in the tower…I could hear a voice…it was wind-like…I think it's what's after me…"

Even though, she had spoken quite fast, Robin had still heard every word.

"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Robin.

Raven looked down at her feet, "I didn't know how…"

Robin put his hand on Raven's shoulder, "You know you can trust us with anything."

Tears fell down her face, "Yeah…but I was scared…and I didn't want to get you guys involved."

"We've always been involved, Raven." said Cyborg.

"Yes, you are our friend" Starfire whispered, "We won't let anything hurt you!"

Raven smiled a small smile, "Thanks…"

"What are friends for?" asked Cyborg.


Everyone except Raven turned to Beastboy with a look of wonder.

Beastboy feeling nervous with all the stares directed at him, asked while scratching his neck "What?"

Cyborg rubbed his metal chin, "Nothing…I was just wondering why you were not, you know shocked by what Raven informed of us…unless you…" Cyborg's mouth dropped, "You knew, didn't you!?"

Ashamed, Beastboy nodded his head.

"Why keep it away from us, Beastboy?" questioned Robin.

"I promised her not to tell you guys!" exclaimed Beastboy, "A promise is a promise!"

Starfire remained mute, just watching what was going to happen next.

"How could you keep something as vital as this a secret?" Cyborg asked.

Raven, not liking seeing Beastboy being verbally beat up, exclaimed "I made him, okay!"

Cyborg and Robin glanced at Raven but quickly turned back to Beastboy.

Robin whispered, so Raven couldn't hear what they were saying, "Look, this isn't something you should have kept away from us."

Cyborg nodded, "If anything had happened to Raven, then it would have been your fault for not informing us about the current dilemma."

Tears of frustration fell down his cheeks, "Look, I get it! You know now, so what's the big deal!?"

A look of shock appeared on Cyborg's and Robin's faces. Before they had the time to respond though, Beastboy charged off.

Cyborg exclaimed, "Where are you going!?"

"Far away from here!" Beastboy roared in a loud booming voice.

"Get back here!" commanded Robin, in a strict leader tone.

Beastboy screeched, "No!"

Soon the sound of Beastboy's footsteps faded away.


"What do you mean he ran off?" exclaimed Raven.

"He…ran off." Cyborg whispered.

"But why?" asked Raven, holding in her tears.

Cyborg looked guilty, "I think it might have been Robin and my fault…"

Raven gave Cyborg a menacing look; if looks could kill, Cyborg would be on the ground, dead by now; jabbing her finger tip at Cyborg's chest, she asked through her gritted teeth "What did you guys do?"

Removing her finger, Cyborg explained, "We were only telling him that he shouldn't have kept what he kept a secret."

Raven groaned frustrated, "Why couldn't you have left well enough alone? So what he kept it a secret, I made him! He wanted to tell you but I made him promise not to. Instead of looking at it in a negative way, look at it this way, he kept a promise this long, doesn't that mean anything to you?"

Cyborg lowered his head in shame, "I…I'm sorry."


"We have to go search for him!" exclaimed Raven.

"It's too dark out there! We will just end up getting lost, lets wait 'til morning!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"By then, he will be long gone!" Raven shrieked.

Raven started to run off, Cyborg sighed and shouted "Where are you going now?"

"To go find him!" she called out, "If you won't then I will..."

"Are you crazy!?" exclaimed Cyborg, "You'll get lost!"

Raven paused in her tracks, "I might be crazy…but you are selfish."

"You're not thinking rational!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"He didn't give up on me…I'm not giving up on him, now!" she shouted running off.


Cyborg sighed; he asked himself "How do I explain this one to Robin?"

"Explain what to me?" asked Robin, who appeared behind Cyborg.

Cyborg jumped startled, "Robin!" he exclaimed.

Robin raised an eyebrow, "Are you feeling alright, Cyborg?"

Pointing at himself, Cyborg said in a squeaky voice "Me? I feel great, never been better!" He showed off a toothy grin that would fool a person with half a brain but not Robin, he knew him better, much better.

Robin's eyes narrowed, he questioned "Are you sure that you are alright?"

Cyborg gulped, "Yeah…I'm…perfect!"

Shrugging it off, Robin questioned "If you say so…now what was what you were going to tell me?"

"What?" Cyborg asked; he had hoped that by now, Robin would have forgotten, but he should have known better.

"You know…you said something like 'how do I explain this one to Robin'…what happened?" asked Robin.

Cyborg shook his head, "I would rather not tell you!"

In his leader tone, he said "Tell me…or else."

Not wanting to find what the 'or else' was, he decided to tell him.

After he was done explaining, Robin exclaimed "She did what!? And you didn't try to stop her!?"

Cyborg backed up, frightened at the tone Robin was using.

He defended himself, "I did but that girl has a mind of her own…she wouldn't listen to me."

Sighing, Robin asked "Why did you even tell her?"

Stuttering, Cyborg said "I thought she had a right to know…"

Robin sighed, "It's too late now to go out there and search everywhere. Tomorrow, when the sun rises, we search."

"Should we let Starfire know?" asked Cyborg.

Robin thought about this, "We'll tell her tomorrow…we don't want to have three titans lost…" he explained, knowing that if Starfire knew, she would either find a way to convince him into searching now or just go off to find them on her own.

"Right…that's probably best…" whispered Cyborg, agreeing.
