Chapter 12: Not A Mistake
"BEAST BOY!"
They all turned to see the boy wonder rushing to the changeling. "What. Happened. Here?" He demanded.
"Ok… let me explain." He started. "Jinx was here minutes before."
"Jinx?"
"We heard an explosion. We rushed to the source and there she was and-"
"And what? You just let her escape? As far as I know, we have been looking for her with no success."
"And as far as we know, they might have something against me." The former titan with dark violet hair took every one's attention, including Beast Boy's. She had grown mad at the way Robin just started to blame everything on him. "He was protecting me! He wasn't supposed to leave me alone in the Tower, right?"
Beast Boy looked at her, surprised at the way she just talked to their leader. Robin sighed annoyed in defeat. She was right. He looked away for a second and stared into Starfire's worried eyes and immediately softened. "Whatever it was, it's done. But we still have to find her. She stole something from my storage room."
"What might that be?" The alien princess asked.
"Criminal files."
"Does that mean…?"
He closed his eyes and turned to the exit. "They are recruiting." He said slamming his fist on the wall.

"Robin? I wanna talk to you."
The former empath stood at the door of the titans leader waiting for a response. She knocked once again and the door opened seconds after to reveal a Robin looking ashamed to the floor.
"Raven, I know why you're here and I'm sorry, ok? I know I made a mistake and-"
"I don't think we should go through that again." She interrupted. "I'm sure you were just taking the role of a leader."
He looked at her skeptically for a moment but then nodded with a tiny smile. "Then, what do you need?"
"Well I've been thinking." She started. "After our argument, I tried to find a solution. First, I don't believe they're after me. It's obvious that these people are planning something else since they're recruiting all those villains. And I have a feeling they have been trying to split us apart."
Robin seemed to think about this and she continued. "That villain, Gizmo, he knew exactly how to get on you and Cyborg's nerves. If you think about it, he's the reason you fought."
"So, it was all…"
"Just a trap."
"That's it! It was a trap." He said while his hand turned into a fist. "And I fell for it."
"I'm sorry."
"How could I be so stupid?"
"We should make our move now. I think… we need as much help as we can possibly get. And I know there are many more titans, including… you know. And now that you know this, would you consider apologizing to Cyborg?"
"I guess that must be done, uh?" The girl nodded and he sighed. "Thank you, Raven. I almost forgot who you were."
She stared at him slightly incredulously about his comment. "What do you mean?"
"Well, Raven, frankly, you would always get the pieces together and make things straight. You were the most rational of the team. I guess that ability is still untouched."
Raven blushed a little and smiled at him. The sight was like a girl trying to impress her father. "Thank you, Robin. Before this talk I- I was feeling kind of useless and more like a bother."
"Then you were not as rational as I thought you were." He said crossing his arms but smirking. "Raven, you are not a bother. You are a friend. And we'll do whatever it takes to bring you back to normal."
Raven smiled again believing in his words.
"Starfire told you about Trigon and what he did, right?" Her smile vanished and she simply nodded. "Well, when that happened, you were turned into a little girl. You acted as if you couldn't remember any of us and as if you had no powers. But you were just afraid. This reminds me of that time. We never gave up, and at the end, everything went right, and you showed more power than you ever had shown before."
"R- really?"
"Don't worry, Raven. I'm sure we will find a solution. We always do."
"I hope so."
"And don't worry Raven, I'll get Cyborg back. I hope he's doing fine."

"I'm totally bored." Speedy whined surfing through the channels on the T.V. "Is there anything we can do?"
"You can try cleaning your room." Suggested Bumblebee.
He just muttered something bellow his breath, and annoyingly turned off the T.V.
"Now it's proven. It's easier stopping crime in Steel City than getting Speedy to clean his room." Joked the man with the blue suit.
"Okaaay Titans, someone wants a match of Stankball?" Cyborg entered the room with a ball of stinky clothes.
"¿Qué cosa?" The twins asked interested.
"Stankball! Let's go outside and you'll love it."
"I'm in, Sparky!"
"I don't think there's something better to do."
"Fine with me."
"SI!"
"I'm sure we'll have a good time." Cyborg crossed his arms and smiled happily.

Beast Boy had been at the gym since the previous episode. Thanks to Starfire he hadn't left the tower looking for Cyborg. He couldn't deny he was mad at Robin, but he knew he had that attitude every once in a while and thanks to Raven the arguing stopped before he said something he would regret.
It had been two hours since he started to work out and now he was exhausted. He had let go all the energy left from the previous fight and he was finally feeling relaxed and relieved. He let himself fall in the gym's floor and closed his eyes for a moment.
Not even a minute passed, when his ears perked up as he sensed someone else's presence. Without opening his eyes he smiled as his nose recognized the scent of a certain girl. He remained that way not making the slightest move and soon he felt someone resting they're back on the floor next to him, and he let himself smile wider still not opening his eyes.
"Hi, Rae."
"How many times have I told you to call me Raven?"
He chuckled. "Not enough, Rae."
Taking a serious voice, Raven asked concerned. "Are you ok?"
He finally opened his eyes and turned to her. "Ummm, let's see, you had lost your powers and memories, Cyborg had left the team, Robin almost kicked my butt and now the bad guys are planning to exterminate us. I'm pretty good. How about you?" He answered sarcastically.
"Beast Boy!" She said sitting up and glaring at him trying to look mad but she was glad, she knew his joking around meant he was feeling much better now.
He laughed and sat up as well. "I'm better now. Ya know, a little worried and all, but I'll be fine. Actually…" He got closer to her and spoke with all seriousness. "I'm glad you're not their target." He whispered and played with a strand of Raven's hair sending shivers down her spine. She looked away slightly and so did Beast Boy.
Clearing his throat nervously, the changeling tried to change the subject. "Thanks by the way, about earlier with Robin… I could have- never mind. Thank you."
"You're welcome. It wasn't your fault anyway." She started. "Oh I almost forgot. I talked to him a while ago."
"You did?"
She nodded and continued. "I know you're mad at him but… trust me, everything will be ok. And he'll take care of Cyborg. You don't have to go get him, it's something he has to fix himself."
"Yeah, you might be right." He said smiling.
They stood there silently for a little longer, looking out of the large window in front of them. They stayed quiet for a little too long, that it actually became awkward. Now both were thinking only about a particular incident.
"Uuh, R- Raven…" The changeling started rubbing the back of his neck. "About this afternoon… ya know, the almost k- kiss…"
She blushed furiously and hugged her legs closer and spoke softly. "I think we… were just caught in the moment again."
He sensed a hint of insecurity in her answer and decided to speak again. "I wasn't." He confessed turning to his side to look at her.
She couldn't believe what he had said. She turned to him and saw pure honesty in his eyes. But she was still afraid about everything, and her pride, even now, was stronger this time. "It would have been a mistake, Beast Boy."
He smiled sadly trying not to make her feel any more uncomfortable and then looked away clearly disappointed.
After a long silence she turned to him and saw him resting his head on his fist, eyes closed and mouth slightly opened obviously falling asleep.
She chuckled at the sight in front of her causing him to come back of his trance clearly surprised. He looked around to see where he was cleaning his mouth a little and Raven had to fight the urge to laugh he saw and glared at her playfully.
"I'm sorry." Then she suggested. "It's getting late. You should take a shower and get something to eat before going to bed."
He chuckled. "Yes mum."
"Heeey!"
He stood up laughing and held out a hand for her. The girl took it and got on her feet right in front of him, both still smiling and looking into each other's eyes. But then, almost as in a trance his smile vanished and, with no warning, he cupped Raven's face slowly taking it closer to his. He reached her lips and touched them with his own giving her the most loving and tender kiss. It lasted no more than a few seconds and Raven barely had time to process all this information before Beast Boy pulled apart.
She looked more than surprised. Her pupils danced with shock and excitement at the same time. Her cheeks were getting a reddish shade but her lips were taking the shape of a tiny smile.
She reached one of his hands still caressing her cheek with hers and closed her eyes, her smile growing wider. He kept looking at her with a smile of his own. Then he took his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "Is this a mistake?"
How did that go? ^^
Umm btw.. I'm really trying not to make them so OOC but if I'm failing :( I'm really sorry. Just remember that Raven is not exactly the same Raven. Oh well... I really hope you had liked it :3
And please... REVIEW!
See yaa! ;)
