Now back to business. After their enlightening romp through Raven's mind the Titans are ready to leave and deal with their other problems. And for those who wanted a little fluff, prepare yourself because here it comes.
BeastBoy felt like he was king of the world at the moment. Not only did he help Raven, but the green boy also gained her unwavering trust in him, something he'd been striving for ever since he first met the girl. Now all he needed to do was get her to laugh at one of his jokes and his life would be complete. Currently, he, BumbleBee, and the Raven's were making their trek toward the Forbidden Door so that he, BumbleBee, and Raven could finally leave her mind. Courage and BumbleBee lead the group, followed by Happy and Love, who in turn lead Wisdom, Knowledge, and Lazy, who themselves were followed by Timid and Rage. Finally Raven and BeastBoy made up the rear of the group, BeastBoy occasionally looking left and right as if he was watching out for something. Raven didn't need her powers to tell her why he was looking about like a prairie dog. After losing control of her body twice in the course of a week, BeastBoy was being a tad overprotective of the cloaked female. Truthfully she didn't need it, though BeastBoy would have said otherwise, but she didn't say anything. It was rather…sweet he cared so much.
"He's so kind." She thought
Though her face stayed in its usually monotone setting, her feelings about him and his eagerness to protect her was going a mile a minute and her emotions knew. Every so often she would spot one of them looking back at her and BeastBoy, smiling. Although each smile had a different appeal to it, the same general message was sent.
"She's starting to like him." They all thought
Even though the changeling was keeping a watchfully eye out for any dangers that might befall the group, he was still absolutely delighted at his recent success. Raven was back to her normal self…hopefully, he was able to solidify his and Raven's friendship, and best of all it seemed Raven wasn't universally mad at him for going into her head again. She simply looked indifferent as they closed in on the Forbidden Door. However he decided not to push his luck by saying he was sorry he went into her head. If he was lucky she might just dismiss the entire thing as not a big deal.
"So Rae?" called BumbleBee, "I have to say, being in your head has been a time in my life I hope I soon forget. I don't know how BB and Sparky were able to handle it the first time, hell, I not sure how BB can stand it now." she replied
"Bee!" he squeaked, trying to keep the talkative winged girl quiet
"Hell, he must enjoy coming here or something cause I've on the verge of losing my mind. But what do I know. He's probably this way to hide the fact that you'll kill him for coming here."
"Bee!" he cried out angrily, but the damage had already been done
"You're right. But he hasn't a clue about how angry I am for his little intrusion." she replied, "But he'll know soon enough. I can assure you of that." She said, glaring slightly at the boy
After all, even though she was truly thankful for BeastBoy's assistance, she was still annoyed that he invaded her privacy yet again.
"I…hate…you…Bee!" he seethed, boiling with anger
"Hey, this is payback for dragging me into this crazy place." She replied, "I'd do it myself but I can guess that Raven as even worst in store for you."
"I…hate…you…Bee!" he repeated
"I-I-Is that true?" he heard a quiet voice say, directing his attention to the grey cloaked emotion who could feel the anger in his words
BeastBoy looked at BumbleBee, smiling smugly and then at Timid. The moment he did his anger subsided to that of being slightly annoyed.
"I h-hope it's not…" the emotion trailed off
BeastBoy sighed and the rest of his anger left him, leaving him rather confused. He wanted to be angry at BumbleBee, really he did, but he just couldn't with Timid looking up at him, worried.
"Nah, I don't hate her." He said reassuringly, "But I'm gonna get her back for this." He replied quietly, grinning
Timid wasn't exactly sure what BeastBoy had in store for BumbleBee, but that didn't matter. She was just happy he didn't have any hatred toward the stripped fighter and with a slight nod and small smile she turned back around to catch up with the others.
"Weird." BeastBoy thought as he watched the grey emotion skip off
He didn't know why, but he just couldn't see Raven saddened by something. He wanted to make the girl happy the best way he could but there was something else, something more, nagging in the back of his mind. A simple smile from Raven, no matter what part of her it might have been, caused him to feel a sense of fulfillment, a sense of joy. He could only imagine what he'd feel if he ever got her to laugh. And, as he thought about it, something else became clearer to him. He'd just about do anything for the cloaked sorceress, he'd even go as far as lay his life down for her and he wished he knew just why that was so. He knew it dealt with more than being friends but as he delved on the matter more it simply confused him. He wondered what was he feeling for the dark girl and a better question, why?
"Gah…" he groaned inwardly, "Maybe I'll just ask Cy or something." He thought, banishing the thoughts away for the moment
As he did so he noticed the Forbidden Door over the hill the group had finished climbing and a bucket of relief poured over him.
"We're almost out!" he cried happily, throwing his hands in the air and whooping loudly in joy, "Yeah!"
"Could you be any louder?" Raven asked
"YES!" BumbleBee cried out happily, "I am so ready to get out of this freaky place!" She replied
"Gah…" muttered Raven, those two were yelling far too much for her
In a state of pure joy the two raced off toward the door, bounding along without a care in the world. That was until BeastBoy tripped, crashed into BumbleBee, causing the two to tumbled to the ground in a heap of arms and legs.
"Idiot." Muttered Raven
"Moron." Muttered Rage
"BeastBoy!" BumbleBee barked, "Do you have balance or what?" she asked him, throwing him off of her
"Sorry, guess I wasn't watching where I was going." He replied sheepishly
"Yeah, guess so." She muttered, "Let's just get out of here." She said, trotting over to the Forbidden Door, "So I just go on through?" she asked, turning back to Raven
"That's generally what you do when you see a door." Raven replied indifferently
"Hey, I'm just wanted to make sure I don't end up somewhere crazier than this place!" she yelled
"Don't worry BumbleBee, Raven would never send us anywhere crazy…I think." BeastBoy replied, grinning
"That makes me feel so much better." Replied BumbleBee sarcastically
"No really, Raven's cool like that." He replied
"BeastBoy!" someone cried out happily, latching onto his back and bringing their arms around his neck
It only took him seconds to realize it was Love hanging onto him, a wide, warm smile on her face.
"You are the sweetest thing ever!" she said happily, snuggling up against him, latching onto the poor boy like a leech. While she held steadfast to the boy, BeastBoy could feel her hands wander and it didn't take long for those hands to start exploring areas they shouldn't.
"Wait, stop, L-Love, don't do that!" he told her, but she refused to let go
"Why?" she asked, her voice taking a sudden, seductive tone, "Don't you like it?" she asked, purring into his ear
"Raven!"
"Enough of that." He heard Raven order
Love, turned to face the blue cloaked girl, half disappointed, half leering at her host, but by Raven's order Love reluctantly let go of BeastBoy, who in turned sighed heavily in relief.
"You're no fun." Love pouted, excessively pushing her lips out to emphasize her point
"Yeah, and?"
"BeastBoy liked it, didn't you?" Love asked
"Well actually…" he trailed off, not wanting to sound too put off by Love's overzealous jester
"Look what you've done to the boy. He's so scared of doing something perverted he can't even enjoy the simple things a woman can bring him." Love replied, eyeballing BeastBoy, "You really need to show him these things, and soon Raven." She replied, smiling wickedly, "We don't want this cutie to grow up without the knowledge of how to please a woman." She replied
BeastBoy morphed into a small turtle and hid in his shell, too embarrassed to show his face in front of so many females as Love blatantly explained the birds and bees to Raven.
"Please, don't make me hurl." Raven replied, "The only explaining he needs is that I'll snap his spine like a twig if he ever tried anything." She replied
Timid gasped and rushed over to BeastBoy, scooping him up in her arms and stroking his shell protectively.
"She doesn't mean that." Timid said quietly
"Well I know BeastBoy would be a proper gentleman. It just doesn't hurt to have a little expertise in certain fields, if you know what I mean." Love commented
"Well he'll be keeping himself out of any of my fields if you catch my drift." Raven retorted
The other Ravens watched as the two continued to argue over BeastBoy, the changeling in question felt as if the world was falling on him, with no mercy.
"Yo, green bean." He heard BumbleBee call
He pulled his head out of his shell to acknowledge her and she continued.
"Look, you're never gonna get this to end unless you get in there and referee." She told him, "And before you go all, this is a girl's problem, you need to realize they're fighting over you so it's only logical that you are the one to stop it."
"But he might get hurt." Timid said, whining somewhat
She didn't want BeastBoy to ever get hurt as long as she was around.
"Please, he'll be fine." She replied, taking hold of his shell, "Now go in there and shut them up so we can leave!" she yelled, flinging BeastBoy toward the quarreling Raven's
Instinctively he retreated back into his shell out of fear of hitting a nearby rock and cracking his shell, but instead of hitting something hard and rocky he hit something soft and bouncy. Now he knew there was nothing in Raven's mind that was soft and/or bouncy so he was quite confused with his landing and for some reason he was scared to peep out to see.
"Le Gasp!" he heard everyone gasp, strengthening his resolve to stay in his shell, however, from his vantage point he could see Raven glaring down at him, visibly holding back her unbridled rage she was currently feeling for him
He wondered why she was so mad until he realized one key point of information. He was looking up at Raven from an angle and was being suspended just below her shoulder blade. He began adding things up and as he did so, fear and dread slowly crept into him.
"Please don't let me be sitting where I think I'm sitting." He asked, but the fates enjoyed a good laugh now and again
BeastBoy looked out to see that he was currently resting on a nice set of…female pillows at the moment, the best if not most dangerous place in the world for him to be at the moment. The glare he was receiving from Raven was so piercing he swore lasers would shoot from her eyes, and since this was Raven, they most likely would. He had always wondered what it would be like to die in this particular situation, though he never dreamed it would be happening to him, the dying part mostly.
"Well if ya gotta go." He thought, preparing for the end
BEASTBOY!
The emotions were busy saying their heartfelt goodbyes after BeastBoy recovered from his traumatic experience. Since repeating the awful event would scar children for years to come, let's just say the green changeling will never become a small turtle in BumbleBee's vicinity ever again. He also swore he'd get BumbleBee back for this, somehow, even though the yellow clad girl continually apologized for her rash judgment and inaccurate throwing ability. She had really been trying to aim for in-between the two Ravens.
"We're gonna miss ya BB." Happy replied, not as happily as usual
"I'll miss you too." Replied BeastBoy, "And hey, maybe after Raven forgives me for BumbleBee's lack of accuracy I can visit or something."
"Really?!" she asked excitedly
"Sure, I'd love to come back." He replied
"And you'll tell me new jokes and bring me something!?" she asked giddy
"You know it."
"Eeeee!" she squealed, hugging BeastBoy for all she was worth
"Somebody…help." He wheezed
It took a combined effort from Rage and Courage to pry the pink emotion off of BeastBoy.
"Watch yourself." Replied Courage with a grin, "And don't go soft on me." She told him, punching his arm
"I'll try not to." He replied, hoping that his arm hadn't officially dislocated
"And Bee, keep his butt in line cause I can't watch him all the time." She told BumbleBee
"Don't worry about." Replied BumbleBee, "I won't let him get himself kill or anything." She replied
"Y-y-you promise to be careful?" Timid asked timidly
"I swear on the bruises Raven gave me." He replied
"I just…don't want to see you get…hurt." She told him
"What did I tell you earlier."
"Y-Your BeastBoy."
"And?"
"Nothing can hurt you."
"Bingo." He replied, "So stop worrying so much, or what will happen?"
"I'll get wrinkles."
"Right." He replied, giving her a wide grin
She returned it, albeit very small.
"I do hope you take care of yourself BeastBoy. You're carefree nature may be your strength but it can also be your weakness if not kept in check with patience and a clear head." Wisdom advised
"That's what I got Raven for." He replied
"I have been able to collect a great deal of data from this excursion and I am anxious to collect more after you have exited Raven's mind." Replied Knowledge
"What am I, a guinea pig?"
"You can change into one." She replied
BeastBoy rolled his eyes.
BURP!
"How was that B?" Lazy asked
"Hmm, control the volume so you can give it a deep rumble and try for a longer one." Replied BeastBoy, "Like this."
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Nice."
"Disgusting." Muttered Raven
Rage slowly made her way over to BeastBoy, an air of uncertainty followed her. Though she wasn't much of a threat at the moment, Courage and BumbleBee still stiffen as she approached, ready to jump her if she should try something. BeastBoy on the other hand was rather relaxed with her approach. Not for the fact he didn't think she was dangerous but because he knew Raven could do far worst than anything Rage thought of.
"You…" she replied, effectively directing everyone to their conversation, "I will…miss you presence." Said awkwardly
Rage just didn't know how to say goodbye in a manner that didn't involve a lot of violence.
"You're presence too?" Replied BeastBoy awkward as well
He never had to say goodbye to someone's presence before.
"Stay alive, for I'm not done with you yet." She said, "I have…plans for you." She said, turning to leave,
"What, kind of plans?" BeastBoy asked
Rage simply chuckled to herself as she left.
"Rage?"
She continued to chuckle.
"Maybe I am better off with Raven." He thought
"BeastBoy." Called a sultry voice, "You'll miss me, right?" asked Love, slying moving up beside the boy
BeastBoy was torn. If he said yes, Raven would beat him into a puddle. If he said no he'd risked making Love feel bad and he didn't want that to happen. But being beaten to a puddle wasn't fun either.
"Well if you're not gonna answer…" she pouted, turning her back to him
"No, no, I just…well…" he started, feeling stupid for hesitating, "Yeah, I'll miss ya." He said, "Just not the way you act." He told her blatantly
Most girls would have been very offended by that remark; however other girls would have thought it was a sign of maturity that he spoke his mind. Love, was one of those girls that was in-between.
"Well then, I guess I'll have to change that." Love replied, "But, not everything I do is naughty…unless you want it that way?" she asked
"Grrr…" he heard Raven growl
"Let's just start as being friends." He replied quickly
"Fine with me, but don't think that'll last." She said, "Bye cutie. Come back, anytime."
"Yeah, I'm way better off with Raven." He thought
"Blah, blah, blah. We said our goodbyes, can we leave now?" BumbleBee asked
"Sure, let's go." Replied Raven walking toward BeastBoy, grabbing his hand and dragging him through the Forbidden Door
BumbleBee quickly followed after and within seconds the portal that opened Raven's mind to the real world finally closed.
"Have you created a suitable body for me to inhabit?" asked a dark, ominous, and cold voice
"Yes my master, this body will prove more than reliable for you to carry out your dark deeds." Replied another voice
"After much time I will finally be released back into the world of man." Replied the voice, "I have spent far too much time in his accursed mirror, wilting away my vast power for the greedy and foolish."
"Yes, my master, but soon you will be free and will be able to do what you wish with this world."
"Yes, however, first I must deal with the enemies that you have sold you soul to me, to defeat, correct?"
"Yes, my master. Once they are defeated you may take you conquest of this world."
"You even told me that one is the daughter of Trigon, intriguing." The voice said, "It will be amusing to test my power against hers."
"You'll leave the green one for me, right my master?"
"I make no guarantees. If you want him for yourself you will take him before he faces me."
"Yes."
"The time has almost come, make the final preparations."
"Yes, my master."
This dark and ominous force was finally ready to be released; it was only a matter of time.
"Finally, out of there." BumbleBee sighed, relief washing over her like a waterfall, "I hope I don't have dreams about that place."
"I hope you learn how to throw in the near future." Replied BeastBoy
"I said I was sorry!"
"Yeah, yeah." He muttered
"I hope you two get out of my room before I ring your necks." Replied Raven
"Right." They replied as one, walking toward her door
The door opened and they were immediately bombarded by light from the outside.
"It must be early morning." BeastBoy replied
"Crap, no sleep for us." Muttered BumbleBee, stepping into the hallway
"BeastBoy." Raven called just as BeastBoy and BumbleBee left her room
BeastBoy turned around to see Raven look straight at him, hood down, a solemn look adorning her facial features.
"Uh…Raven, something wrong?" he asked
"About earlier, during breakfast…I'm…sorry I snapped at you." She said awkwardly, as if the sentence was a new addition to the English language
Apologizes just weren't her thing.
"Don't worry about it." BeastBoy replied, "You were just mad, that's all."
"No, it isn't. I guess I wasn't as over Malchior as I thought." She replied, "I took my anger out on you and even with all the stupid things you do, you didn't deserve that."
"Really Raven, I'm okay. I'm use to it."
"Why can't you be angry with me?" she asked, "Why are you so okay with this?"
"Cause they're would be no point. What I am I suppose to say, don't get angry with the guy?" he asked, "I understand, really. Things like this happen. No point in getting all worked up over them." He said
"Are you always this carefree?" She asked
"Yeah, but I'd kill for a vacation." He joked
Raven didn't laugh nor did she smile, but she accepted.
"Goodbye BeastBoy." She said, though the way her voice soften betrayed lingering emotions
"See ya Raven."
"BeastBoy?" she called once again
"Huh?"
Before he knew what hit him, her face was next to his, planting a small peck on his cheek before she disappeared into her room, door firmly closed. He stood there facing her closed door for some time, unable to really come up with a rebuttal for Raven's unexpected gesture.
"Whoo…" whooped BumbleBee, breaking the uneasy silence "Smooth Casanova."
BeastBoy's faced turned a host of different shades of red as he tried his hardest to keep his composure. He wondered why every time he came from Raven's room after helping her, he ended up blushing.
"Come on Romeo, maybe I can still get some sleep before the others wake up." She replied, dragging BeastBoy away, with little resistance, for he too was very tired
It was mid-day and most of the Titans had assembled in the common room, all except three.
"Okay, this is weird. I'll admit, BB can sleep a whole day away with his lazy self and even Bee can be pretty lazy sometimes, but Rae, she's always one of the first people up." Cyborg replied, "If she's sleeping in then something's definitely wrong." he replied
"The're probably just tired, you're thinking into it too much." replied Speedy, "Pass the pancakes."
"Teníamos muchos huevos y gofres!" Menos and Mas cried out happily, digging into their plates
"I'm not sure what they said, but I'm gonna agree with them." Speedy replied, taking the pancakes, "Just let 'em sleep." he continued
"I'm with Cyborg on this one." Replied Robin, "Something wasn't right yesterday between Raven and BeastBoy, maybe we should check up on them."
"Nothing ever seems 'right' between those two." Replied AquaLad, "They are always arguing and such."
"Yeah, but it was different somehow. I not sure exactly, but something just wasn't right." Robin replied, "Usually they argue for awhile before going onto any of their long time silences, but this time around they hardly talked to one another."
"Meh…" muttered Speedy, "Still say we should let 'em sleep." He replied,
"If our friends are troubled we should come to their aid." Replied Starfire, "I do the voting on Robin and Cyborg's side to do the checking." She replied
"¡No¡Déjeles dormir!" cried out the twins
"Still, haven't a clue what they said, but I think it involves agreeing with us." Speedy replied
"Guess we've come to draw." Aqualad replied
"No, not yet. Hey Terra, stop staring at the TV and tell us what you think?" Cyborg called, "Terra, you hear?" he asked when she didn't immediately answer
Terra had heard alright, so the problem wasn't whether she could answer it was whether or not she wanted to answer the question. She too was curious about the odd behaviors coming from Raven and BeastBoy, however she was scared that the answer might involve her and her sudden reappearance somehow and was too worried to try and find out.
"They're probably just tired. It was not too long ago we fought a whole army of those bug things." Terra replied, "Maybe it's just now they're feeling it." She told them
The Titans seemed to take that in and think about it. Though Raven and BeastBoy's behavior toward one another was still strange, Terra's explanation still seemed to make sense.
"Still…maybe when they wake up we can ask them what's going on." Robin suggested
"I suppose so." Replied Starfire, "However we must not dawdle, the moment they awaken." She told them
"You guys talking about us?" asked a voice at the door
Turning to the opened doors the last of the Titans made their grand entrance into the common room. BumbleBee lead the group, followed by Raven, who was in turn followed by a very hungry looking BeastBoy.
"'Sup dudes." Replied BeastBoy, his commented earning him strange stares from the collected Titans, "What, is my shirt on backwards or something."
"Actually, yes." Replied Raven, immediately heading toward the kitchen area to get herself some tea
BeastBoy quickly tried to realign his shirt, but ended up getting stuck within it for a few moments. While he wrestled with his shirt for dominance, curious BumbleBee wondered what the other Titans had been mumbling about when they first got in.
"What you guys talking about?" she asked, skillfully masking her suspicion behind that of curiosity
"We were just wondering why you three had decided to do the sleeping-in?" Starfire asked, "Are you troubled friends?"
If anything, Starfire could be rather blunt at times and didn't have the tactful nature like Robin to be able to analyze a situation without giving away your intentions.
"Uh…no, just tired." Replied BumbleBee, somewhat confused
Starfire was rather easy to figure out but as she looked around BumbleBee noticed more odd looks from the Titans, they were hiding something from her and she wanted to find out what.
"Oh…really?" Starfire asked, genuinely concerned, "Are you sure?" she asked
"Yeah." Replied BumbleBee, "Why do you ask?"
"It is just that it is the middle of the day and wasting away a day can bring misfortune to all." Replied Starfire
"Well don't worry…" replied BumbleBee, eyeing all the other Titans, "We're fine." She replied, heading over to the kitchen area to grab a bite to eat
"It's fixed!" BeastBoy cheered triumphant, finally getting his shirt under control, causing many of the Titan's eyes to be fixed on him
If anything they were going to get answers from him.
"Now what is everyone staring at, do I got something in my teeth?" he asked
"Probably." Replied Raven, "You're not exactly on friendly terms with your toothbrush or mouthwash."
"Hey!" BeastBoy yelled, beginning to feud with Raven, "I do brush my teeth! Why do you think it took so long for me to get out the bathroom?"
"I thought you were admiring yourself in the mirror. Mumbling things about you muscles, or lack thereof."
"Hey!"
Well, it would have seemed that Raven and BeastBoy were back on friendly terms with each other, or as friendly as they got with one another. Things seemed back to normal, but looks were deceiving.
"So B, how was your night?" Cyborg asked
"It was cool dude, you?"
"Fine. Missed breakfast." Cyborg replied, "I didn't cook this morning so there wasn't as much meat as I wanted, Terra even made some tofu for ya." He replied
"Really, thanks Terra!" BeastBoy replied triumphantly, flying over the couch to smother the geomancer in a huge
"No, problem BeastBoy." She replied, blushing slightly, "It's in the fridge if you want it." She told him
"Thanks!" he replied proudly, leaping a good distance from the couch to the kitchen area
The changeling landed on two feet, grinning madly as he reached for the fridge door, flinging it open and reaching inside to find his tofu delight.
"Okay…" muttered Cyborg, at a lost for words
The Titans looked on as Raven, BeastBoy, and BumbleBee fumbled around the kitchen area in search of sustenance. There were no obvious problems with the group and from the looks of it they had simply slept in late. Weird, but no cause for alarm from what they witnessed. So the Titans decided to go about their business, disregarding the strange occurrence as nothing big, when suddenly…
WHEEE, WHOO, WHEE WHOO!
The alarms blared and almost immediately the large overview display displayed a disturbance in the city. On the screen an evil figure laughed a shrilled, annoying, taunting laugh as her forces started to destroy the city.
"The Witch!" Robin yelled, "Titan's Go!"
And go they did.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" the Witch cackled, taking in delight that the people of he city fled in pure terror, "Run, run you insignificant worms. You're simply in the way of my conquest of this city!" She chortled, as she rode atop one rather large insectoid
She would have continued to laugh to all her hearts content if it hadn't been for the Electro-disks that came whistling toward her. Acting within moments she raised her hand up high to stop the weapons in mid-air and throw them back at her attacker, who skillfully dodged the explosive devices, letting them detonate behind him.
"Ah, the Titans have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you nuisances. I must admit that you came rather quickly. So ready to protect these weak humans are you?" she asked
"Yeah, from the likes of you." Robin retorted, "Give up, you can't possibly win." Robin replied
"And why do you say that, boy?" the Witch asked
"Simple, we have you surrounded."
Taking a quick glance around the Witch soon realized that the masked man was right; she was indeed surrounded. Speedy emerged from behind a downed truck, arrows at the ready while Aqualad floated in on a stream of water from behind an alleyway. One moment there was simply a turned over car, the next there was Mas and Menos standing atop that turned car. Raven, Starfire, Terra and BumbleBee floated above while the hum of Cyborg's sonic cannon could be heard from behind Robin. Finally, a small fly crawled from Robin's shoulder, jumping down to the ground to morph into BeastBoy.
"My, my, you Titans are quite good, quite good indeed. It will almost be a shame to utterly destroy you all…almost." She said, grinning, "I've prepared for our rematch." She said, directing her attention to the Insectoids around her, "Destroy them."
The ten Insectoids that were causing mass destruction of the city turned their attention to the Titans and lunged, ready to serve their mistress of evil and destroy her enemies. The Titans stood ready, with fierce determination and unwavering courage.
Agh! Not the ending I was looking for, but it'll do to lead up to the next chapter. The next chapter is one of those action packed chapters I'm known for so I hope you'll enjoy it.
