CHAPTER 21 - THE PACKAGE

In a dark ally lay crimes biggest doners. A simple drug dealing meet up no less. Even the basic of crimes can have a big impact on those around it. But in this ally, it was more than just a deal.

At least, if you look close enough.

There were three guys there total. Two were the dealers, and one was the buyer. Not unordinary in crime ally. "I've come to recieve my package," said the buyer. He wore a leather jacket with a black hood covering up his face. It was clear he didn't want to be recognized. "I trust that you do indeed have it correct?"

"Why yes we do," said dealer one. He had the most incognito but obvious outfit for a drug deal. A trench coat, bandana over the mouth, and deep dark glasses. "Can't believe you would ever doubt us," sighed the second dealer sarcastically. He was more fit for the job. Black hoodie that covered the majority of his face, black pants, black shoes, black socks. No eyes would follow him. The first dealer handed the buyer a brown wrapped package the size of a child's hand. It was small, but it mesmerized the buyer. "Wow, you guys got a lot huh," he exclaimed. "This is more than enough!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever. We held up our end of the wheel, I think it's about time you do the same eh?" Said the second dealer. They buyer back peddled a bit, but recovered quickly nonetheless. "Right, my apologies guys, how silly of me. It's right here." The buyer whipped out a surpressed pistol and shot both dealers in the head faster than they could blink. "That was messy guys. You should've just left with the money I already gave to," the buyer said. He ran through their pockets in a rush, clearly looking for something specific. He found the first dealers phone, but no luck with the second. He was the smarter of the two. The buyer pocketed the phone and took out his phone, quickly dialing in a number. The other end immediately picked up. "Callsign?" the other line said. "Deathstroke," said the buyer, as he quickly rushed out of the ally. "I assume you got package?" asked the call line. "Confirmed sir. Both dealers were nuetralized unfortunately. Their bodies were hid well, and all signs of the deal were cleaned."

"Good work. Take the first flight home. We'll discussed our package there."

"Yes sir. I'm on my way. Ravager out." Swiftly taking off her hood revealed none other than the notorious Rose Wilson. Her eye patch gleamed in the moonlight as she made her way to the airport as fast as possible. She had a package to open.

BACK AT THE TITANS TOWER...

Beastboy yawned loudly as he made his way to the kitchen. He was absloutely exausted from his hard work this week. And he was quite proud of himself for being able to pull through.

At the fridge, Garfield made some bacon, eggs, tofu eggs, and pancakes. Clearly cooking for more than just himself. As the other titans began to fill in from the smell of delicous food, Garfield sat down and began digging in as usual. And as usual comes, Argent was the one to sit directly next to him. It was a comforting sight for him. Despite his delema with the other girls, he knew he still had a friend in Argent. It was nice to know.

"Alright guys, what's our plan for today?" Argent asked.

Everyone looked at Robin in hope that he would say they could just relax for the day. But, usual hard as nails Robin swiftly side-stepped their silent pleas.

"We'll be training for at least 13 hours today. We'll be mainly focusing on team building, and workout regulations. Any questions guys?" He asked. Everyone shook their heads no in disapointment. "Cool. After breakfast, everybody prepare themselves to be in the training room by 10:00AM sharp. Don't be late." Everybody began to quickly scarf down their breakfast as it was already 9:44AM. They all understood how much Robin hated people being late. Especially Beastboy. He knew first hand what that wrath could represent. Now more than ever, Beastboy didn't want to piss Robin off.

LATER...

By 11:30, everone was extremely exuasted from what Robin had put them through that day. Most of all, Garfield. Robin showed him no mercy, pretty much forcing him to do most of the work. But he couldn't really blame Robin. If Dick had suddenly had sex with his first and only love, he would want to kill him too. Gar was just happy that Dick didn't want to kill him in his sleep.

On the way to his room, preparing for bed, he was stopped by none other than Raven. "Hey," she said. Beastboy akwardly shifted around his feet to her response. "Wassup," he replied. "I just wanted to um, congratulate you on your proformance when we were, you know, training back there."

"Oh, thanks, I appriciate that."

"No problem," She said. A long akward silence soon picked up after. It was only a few seconds but they both felt as if it were an hour. Breaking the silence, Beastboy said," Look Raven, I just don't get the feeling that's all you came here to say."

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. I nearly forgot about that," She played off. She took a deep breath and said," Look Beastboy, I know we both just had some very rough couple of weeks."

"That's an understatement," Beastboy replied.

"I know, I know, but just hear me out. I'm definitely still mad at you for playing me Star. Don't look at me like that, cause you did. But on that same token, I don't want that to ruin our friendship. Or anything more than that. I know I'm not as beautiful as Star, and I know I'm not as sexy as Argent. But my heart is just as big. I love you dearest and I'm sorry if I didn't express it correctly in the past. But I'm willing to be more than just that. And I know I'm not Terra, and I'm not trying to be, but--"

"Save it," Garfield said. "You're nothing like Terra." He then swooped down and hugged her tightly. "But I'm not ready for all this. Not yet atleast. Give me some time. I'll let you know first hand what I decide."

He felt Raven's head nod against his shoulder, and he soon released her. "I love you Gar," She said. "I love you too Rae," He said. Before he could close his door, Raven captured his lips with her own. The kiss was sweet but short altogether, which was pefect for them. After they broke apart, Raven said, "Goodnight," before teleporting to her room.

R and R.

Long time no see guys. It's been a while. Im deeply sorry for the wait, and I really can't make an excuse for my absense, and I can't promise I'll upload frequently. But I can promise that I am back, and I won't take that big of a break again. I have no idea when the next chapter will be out, but it'll be soon.
