A Year of Drabbles - Teen Titans Edition

Unforgotten
There had been a moment - just a single, un-adultered moment - when Beast Boy had realised that everyone could be saved.
Even those that didn't know they needed to be.
When he had still been running around the streets before he had met the Doom Patrol, he had bumped in Harley Quinn.
If the changeling was being honest with himself, he hadn't known it was her. She had looked strange, yes, in her black and red outfit with tears streaking her face, but he had been the strangest thing that he had ever seen, so she wasn't that weird.
They had bumped into each other, he had apologised - as he always did back then, just for existing - and offered her his only clean handkerchief before rushing off.
What made the memory significant to him was that she hadn't glared or screamed or sneered at him. She had looked at him like he was just some regular kid that she had accidently bumped into.
Years later, during a short trip to Gotham, the Teen Titans and Batman had faced off with the Joker, working together to take the deranged man down.
And Harley had helped them.
Beast Boy had never forgotten his quick run-in with the blonde, and apparently, she hadn't either.
"Hey, Greenie," Harley chirped.
"Hey, Harley," Beast Boy waved back weakly.
"Sorry I don't have a handkerchief, it's not really my thing."
"That's okay. It's not really mine either."
