Chapter eight: Revelations
[Disclaimer: Teen Titans does not belong to me or any of my alter egos. It
belongs to other, more important people. Cruel fate, that I should have no
work of literary/cinematic art to my name!!]
Why him? Why did it always have to be Beast Boy that was left out of everything? All the time he had been recovering, things had been going on with the other Titans that he didn't know about. He was totally clueless. Clueless, but happy.
Robin stormed through the tower, mad as a wet bluejay. He shoved Beast Boy aside on his way to the living room, scowling. "Robin? What's up?" "As if you didn't know," muttered Robin. Beast Boy decided not to ask. Whatever it was, Robin wasn't happy about it. In his wake, Raven also shoved Beast Boy aside, less angry but still irritated. "What is going on with everybody today?" yelled Beast Boy helplessly. Robin called from the couch, "You should know. It's because of you." "Leave him out of this!" "What, like it has nothing to do with him?" "No, it has everything to do with him, but that's not my point." "Then what in all hell is your point?" "My point, and Starfire's as well, is that you need to get a grip on reality and hold on as tight as your human hands will allow! There's nothing you can do about it short of disbanding the Titans." A confused, shocked, and horrified look crept across Beast Boy's face as he watched the argument. Disband the Titans? Just how long had he been asleep? "Raven? Robin? What are you talking about?" Beast Boy asked timidly. "Leave 'em alone, man. They'll be arguing like this for hours," said Cyborg from the general direction of the fridge. "But what are they arguing about?" asked Beast Boy, grabbing the milk from around Cyborg. "I try to stay out of it myself, but they're arguing over whose fault something or other was, I think. You do realize that was real milk, right?" Cyborg ducked as milk came flying over his head in a horizontal waterfall. "You could've told me about that sooner, Cy."
The sunset was masked by clouds that evening, but Beast Boy and Raven stood on the cliff in the park nonetheless. The silence was deafening to Beast Boy's ears as Raven stared blankly out at the ocean bordering Jump City. "Raven?" There was a hint of nervousness in Beast Boy's voice. "What?" answered Raven, calm and composed as usual. "What are you and Robin fighting about? Whatever it is, it seems important." "It is. We're basically debating on whether or not he really loves Starfire enough to admit he's happy about you and me being together. He's jealous, and he knows it. For some reason, the fact that he's jealous doesn't bother him so much as the cause of his jealousy. He doesn't understand why I feel so bad for almost killing you when he felt just as bad for actually killing Starfire." "Maybe we love each other more than they did."
