A Year of Drabbles - Teen Titans Edition
Leoanda Taylor
Queen
One of the most surprising aspects of his job was learning that he didn't really know his teammates like he thought he did.
On the surface, Cyborg was a confident eight-teen year old who had recovered from his ordeal to become a Hero.
Starfire was an alien Princess who could always put a happy face on for the world.
Raven was an empath with amazing powers that she was too scared to fully use in case she accidently hurt someone.
And Beast Boy was an old hat at the job, with too much experience to allow himself to wallow in the bad moments.
So, when the 'Queen' of the local Royal Flush Gang had asked for a secret meeting, he had expected a fight.
Not a heartfelt reunion.
"What the hell are you doing, Monica?" Beast Boy asked after he pulled away from the strong hug.
"Trying to get out," she replied, "I thought I could start over - like you did. But somehow - don't ask -, it all went wrong."
"So, you want us to help you?" Raven asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes. Please."
"Of course we'll help!" Beast Boy chirped.
"Will we?" Robin asked, incredulous. "And why, pray tell, will we help?"
"We gave Jinx a second chance. And I can think of plenty of worse people who got theirs. Why can't Monica get hers?" the changeling glared back.
"Okay, but you understand that you need to face the consequences, and you're going to have to really work to start over?" the masked teen addressed the ex-Queen.
"Absolutely. Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. You've a long way to go," he sighed.
