Chapter 10: Starfire quits the team the Ghost Boy makes his first appearance.
Back with Cyborg:
Cyborg sighed as he put the T-Car down onto the ground once he arrived at Titans East's Tower. He smiled seeing Bumble Bee and the other Titans East out side the tower, training. He called out to them, waving madly over at them.
Bumble Bee at once flew over to him, delighted to see him again. "Hi Sparky!" She smiled sweetly as she stood next to him, with her hands behind her back.
"Hi Bee! I got a message from Terra saying that you guys wanted me. She said that crime here went sky high when you guys got back!" Cyborg quickly explained, as he leaned against the T-Car.
"No, things seem rather quiet at the moment to be honest! I think Terra lied to you for some reason." Bumble Bee shook her head, as she put her hands on her hips.
"Gnh! She must've been jealous then!" Cyborg groaned. "I don't know why, but I can't seem to contact the other Titans. Its like my system's blocked."
"Jealous? Why would Terra be jealous?" Bumble Bee wondered, curiously.
"Well...I asked Ember out on a date, the next day Terra goes to tell me that you guys wanted me. My car breaks down and a part of my system is blocked!" Cyborg explained with a sigh at the end. "To be honest, things have been a nightmare since Terra came!"
"What do you mean by a nightmare?" Speedy asked, as he and Aqualad joined Bumble Bee's side to talk to Cyborg.
Cyborg explained everything to them from the beginning. "And that's how I ended up here!" He finished, folding his arms.
"Let's see if we can contact the others and let them know that your here!" Aqualad suggested, getting out his communicator.
Back with the Titans
Raven got out her communicator and tried to contact the Titans East, but nothing happened. "Weird...It's almost like, we're blocked or something!" she began, then looked up at Robin then back to Beast Boy.
"Gnh, Terra!" Robin frowned, clenching his fists. "I'm going to find Star and let her know about this!" He added, then left the room.
"Do you think Terra would be working for Slade then?" Beast Boy suddenly asked, looking at Raven. "Like she was last time?"
"It's possible. I mean she's trying to break us up, she's done something to Cyborg..." Raven replied after a while of thinking.
"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was working for this Slade guy!" Ember joined in the conversation, folding her arms. "But how are we to prove it?"
"That's the hard part..." Beast Boy began.
Before Beast Boy could say anything else, he heard Robin exclaim Starfire's name in distraught.
"STAR-FIRE!" Robin's voice cried out, loud enough for everyone in the Tower to hear.
"NO!" Raven gasped softly, fearing something bad happened to her best friend.
She and Beast Boy got up and rushed to Starfire's room, only to find a distraught Robin holding a note in his hand.
"Dude! What happened?" Beast Boy asked, walking up to Robin.
"S-Starfire..." Robin began, before he dropped the note on the bed.
Raven picked up the note and read it out loud.
'To former fiance Robin...
There will be no wedding.
Terra had told me you were dating another girl and showed me a picture of you kissing her.
Terra told me that you loved the girl more then me, she told me that she recently saw you kissing this girl!
I am leaving the Teen Titans, and you.
Please do not look for me.
- Starfire'
"I'm going to send Terra to another dimension next time I see her!" Raven grit her teeth, after reading out the note. "How dare she lie to Starfire!"
Robin looked rather distraught as he sat on his and Starfire's bed. He held the engagement ring in his hand. "I-I..." He began.
Beast Boy sat next to Robin and put his hand on his shoulder. "Dude, go and look for Star. We'll handle things from here!" He smiled.
"Are you sure?" Robin asked, after a while as he stared at the engagement ring that Starfire left behind.
" I can handle Terra..." Raven smirked. "Like B said, go find Star. We'll call you if we need you!"
Robin gave them a weak smile then got up. "Thanks guys! I owe you one! I'm going to start packing my things now and then I'll go to Tamaran to find her!"
"Good luck! And I hope you do get her back!" Raven smiled to him, giving him thumbs up before leaving the room with Beast Boy.
Beast Boy stood behind Raven and put both of his arms around her waist as they walked back to the Main Room to tell Ember what happened. On the way, they bumped into Terra, much to Raven's annoyance.
"Beast Boy, I've changed my mind and I want to start dating you again." Terra began, with a smile on her face.
Raven glared at Terra, and clenched her fists.
Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "I'm engaged, and I would never leave my Rae-Rae, for anyone, not even for you!"
"But please Beast Boy?! I'll let you know where Cyborg is, and Starfire too!" Terra added, her smile turned into a smirk.
"No!" Beast Boy replied, beginning to get annoyed.
"Please Beast Boy? I want to be your girlfriend again! I miss being hugged by you!" Terra begged, giving him the innocent look.
"He said no! Leave us alone." Raven hissed, getting ready to attack Terra.
"Beast Boy, Raven doesn't really love you, you know? She's only pretending to love you...Because she's trying to make me jealous...So why don't you dump her and well maybe go on a date with me instead?" Terra looked at Beast Boy as she said that then glanced at Raven.
Beast Boy rolled his eyes and glared at Terra. "That's a lie! Rae and I are inseparable, just leave us alone. We have more important things to do then put up with your lies."
"Hey Rae-Rae~ I know of a cute guy who's looking for a girlfriend if your interested in him. He has Ghost Powers and I've often seen him around, he's a Goth boy too! So if you dump Beast Boy I can tell you who he is!" Terra began, daringly as she began walking with Raven and Beast Boy. "And I can get him to call you Rae-Rae!"
Raven's eyes turned red with anger and annoyance, she couldn't stand Terra any more. "Don't call me Rae-Rae, only Beast Boy can...Nothing you say or do will make Beast Boy and I break-up. I love Beast Boy more then anyone and anything, my love for him will never fade away. I don't care about this so called Ghost Boy you've made up. Beast Boy and I are happy together, if you don't like it, deal with it!" She snapped at Terra, with her voice sounding furious. "Your not a good match maker anyway!" She added.
Terra paused for a moment, thinking of what else to say. She smirked and continued to follow Raven and Beast Boy around the Tower like a fly.
"Can you leave us alone?" Beast Boy complained, looking at Terra.
"Only if you go out on a date with me Beast Boy! You know you want to! I'd make a better wife then Raven will!" Terra began, she soon regretted it though.
"That's it! Azarath, Metreon, Zinthous!" Raven used her powers to push Terra roughly against the wall. "Why don't you go out with this so called Ghost Boy or what ever he is!" She hissed, as she used her powers to hold Terra against the wall.
Terra struggled to break free. "Gnh! Let me GO! Because this Ghost Boy would be perfect for you, Beast Boy is clearly not a perfect match for you! He'd be better off with me!"
Raven glared at her. "Your going to regret saying that..." She hissed, a portal suddenly appeared behind Terra and began to suck her in. "Have fun in your new home for a while."
"Beast Boy! Save me! Please!" Terra pleaded, sounding terrified. Terra screamed as she struggled to get out of the portal, but it was no use. Her voice suddenly sounded a bit different.
Ember came running up to Raven and Beast Boy, wondering what was going on. She gasped in surprise and watched in interest as Terra got pulled into the portal.
Beast Boy, watched as Terra got sucked into the Portal. The portal vanished with Terra in it.
"UGh! Finally got rid of her for a while, unfortunately that's temporary, she'll be back!" Raven muttered. "I should've done that earlier though, when she first came to the Tower!"
"Wait, temporary?" Beast Boy asked, looking at Raven curiously.
"She'll be back in three days time!" Raven replied, sounding annoyed, as she folded her arms.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side!" Ember said jokingly, winking at Raven. "I take it, she bothered you too much, what was she doing?"
Raven explained to Ember what had happened.
"She got what she deserved! I've came to tell you I think I've worked out where Cy is! I'm going to Steel City, I have a feeling that for some reason Terra sent him to the Titans East. I'm going to head there tonight, I should be there tomorrow after noon!" Ember announced, with a smile on her face.
"Did you want us to come with you?" Beast Boy asked, thinking she might want some company.
Ember shook her head. "Thank you, but I will call you if I need you both!" She smiled. "I'll go back my things now, I'll call you guys when I get there!"
Mean while with Slade...
"Gnh! Curses! I lost contact with Terra! Now I can't control what she says or does!" Slade muttered to himself, kicking at the ground in annoyance.
"How am I meant to separate the Titans now?" Slade groaned in frustration. He sat down on his chair and thought for a moment, then an idea came to him, then a smirk appeared on his face.
Back with Ember
Ember had just finished putting her clothes into her back pack. She put her back pack on her back and grabbed a map from the dressing table in her room. She then grabbed her communicator and walked out of her room, singing the Teen Titans theme song to herself.
Ember went to the Main Room to double check if her map is the correct one. She smiled seeing Beast Boy and Raven sitting together on the couch, talking.
"Are you going now?" Beast Boy asked, looking up at Ember for a moment.
"Mhm! I don't know when I'll be back, but I'll let you know as soon as possible when I find Cy!" Ember replied with a smile.
"Wait! Before you go, we have something to give you." Raven said, getting up. She held a pair of black leather gloves in her hands and passed them to Ember.
"Thank you so much, Raven!" Ember smiled, as Raven passed her the gloves.
Ember put the map down on the ground for a moment and took off her old aqua coloured gloves, she then put on her new ones that Raven had gave her. "They're perfect! Thank you, again Raven!" Ember smiled once more to her.
"Your welcome! Are you sure you don't want us to come along with you?" Beast Boy asked, once more.
"I'm sure! I doubt I'd run into any trouble on the way, but if I do, I'll call you!" Ember said, as she picked up the map once more, she put her old gloves in her trousers pockets.
Half an hour later, Ember left the tower, leaving Raven and Beast Boy alone for a while.
The couple were in the Main Room once more, sitting on the sofa, talking.
Beast Boy thought for a moment then smiled. "How would you like to go out for dinner tonight? Maybe at the Cafe you like going to or that new Restaurant that opened up recently?" He asked, looking at Raven.
"Mhm! It's a date." Raven replied, smiling to him.
Before Beast Boy could say anything more, a mysterious male's filled the room for a moment.
"You know...She was under Slade's control, there was no need to send her to another dimension!" The voice began. Raven and Beast Boy looked around the room but saw nothing.
"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked, wondering if this was a new enemy.
"Where are you?" Raven joined in, looking around trying to sense where he might be.
"My name is not important to you...I have been following Slade for a while now and found out that he has been using Terra as a puppet, he's managed to somehow control what she says and what she does. What I'm saying is, Terra probably doesn't mean what she said to you. It's all Slade's doing! Yes, Terra still has feelings for Beast Boy.." The voice added.
Silence filled the air for a moment.
"Is he gone now?" Raven wondered after a while.
"No, I'm still here! As I was saying, Terra does have feelings for Beast Boy still, she obviously didn't mean what she said to Starfire earlier, Slade made her say that. He also made her say what she said to you two earlier." The voice said.
"I suppose Slade is playing match maker and trying to get me to break up with Raven so Terra can have me again? I'm never leaving Raven's side, I love her so much, Raven's everything to me." Beast Boy frowned at the idea of him and Terra being together. "Besides, Terra had her chance and she blew it by betraying us!"
"Terra didn't mean to go to Slade that time either, he made her go to him. He made her do all of those things. She didn't want to hurt you guys, especially Beast Boy." The voice added once more.
"How am I to believe you if you're not showing yourself?" Raven asked, still looking around for the owner of the voice.
"Alright, I'm going to show myself right now..My name is Seth." Seth introduced himself as he appeared in front of Raven with a smile on his face. "And you are beautiful!" He daringly gently took Raven's hand and went to kiss it, Raven quickly removed her hand from him and looked at him, annoyed.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Beast Boy snapped, glaring at Seth.
"So, what your saying is Slade controlled Terra, and made her do all of the things she has done now, before I sent her to another dimension?" Raven asked, raising an eye brow, finding this hard to believe.
"Mhm! That's exactly what I'm saying, but when you sent her to another dimension, Slade's connection with Terra broke. I don't know if it's temporary or not." Seth replied.
"I don't believe you." Raven frowned, folding her arms.
"You don't have to but the green one seems too, but he doesn't want to admit it." Seth said, looking at Beast Boy then back to Raven.
"Why did you bring up this subject anyway?" Raven asked, wishing that Seth would leave them alone. "B and I were about to go on a date."
"Because, I want to help make things right again." Seth replied. "Well...I'm off! I'll probably see you around soon." He grinned then turned into his ghost form, and phased through the walls.
Back with Starfire:
Starfire had arrived back at Tamaran, with Silkie in her arms, crying as she went to her Castle. She was greeted by Galfore, still crying, she put Silkie down onto the ground and hugged Galfore tightly, telling him everything that had happened.
Back with Raven and Beast Boy:
"How do I look?" Raven asked, as she walked into the Main Room, wearing a dark blue sleeveless dress, with her hooded cloak.
"Beautiful, as always Rae!" Beast Boy commented, smiling as he joined her side once more. "Are you ready? I'll take you to a few places tonight." He added.
Raven smiled, then stole a kiss from his lips. "I love you B." She said, as she pulled him into a hug, Beast Boy smiled as he returned the hug.
"I love you too Rae, more then anything and anyone." Beast Boy replied, pressing his lips against hers, pulling her into a deep kiss.
Raven deepened the kiss lovingly, enjoying the moment with him.
