Song Used: Avirl Lavigne - My Happy Ending
Raven didn't look back as she left the tower. The place that she called home for so many years. The place where she found her first love. The place where she wanted to be with her first love. To look back at that place would be overwhelming.
So much for my happy ending
She didn't know where she was going, she just kept walking. The sky was a bright blue with many white fluffy blotches. It would've been a perfect day for her and her love, but it was far from that.
She finally settled into a small apartment in Metropolis. She castaway her superhero clothes for civilian ones, and started up her new life as a librarian. It was the perfect job for her; quiet, peaceful and full of books to read.
The only thing that she kept wearing was the engagement ring that Cyborg placed on her finger. She would fiddle with it from time to time as she would sit behind her desk. At times she wanted to go visit, but she knew that it wouldn't change anything. All she could do was promise to love him and only him.
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
At the tower, the rest of the Titans tried to cope with the loss of two teammates, two friends, two loved ones. It was one fight that the Titans could not win. Although the battles against villains were easy, battling their own emotions was too much.
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
The days became harder and harder for them, so they decided to call it quits. Beast Boy and Terra moved to New York and joined the Justice League, while Starfire went with Robin to Gotham City.
"I never thought this day would come." Was the last sentence that was said in Titans Tower as Robin flipped the switch shutting off all the power.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beast Boy and Terra would stop by the hospital to see Cyborg. They never heard Dr. Lawrence tell them that this was as good as he was going to get. Even if they heard him, they would refuse to believe it.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
Several weeks after they left the tower, they went to the hospital. As they walked to Cy's room, they saw a man of average height with short brown hair. He wore a white lab coat with matching white pants. It was Dr. Lawrence performing his daily check on Cyborg.
He saw them as they approached and greeted them with a smile.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
"Is he any better doc?" Terra asked.
"He's shown some improvement, but nothing groundbreaking. It is pleasing to see that he has improved though."
"Do you know how long it will be until he comes out of it?"
"I'm sorry to say that I don't even know if he will come out of it. If he does, it won't be anytime soon."
They lowered their heads and began to walk away.
"I'm sorry." He said as they slowly walked away.
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
Beast Boy stopped and ran back to the doctor.
"If he does come out, or show any type of improvement at all. Call us." He said as he gave him a piece of paper that had their phone number.
The doctor nodded, and Beast Boy ran back to join Terra who waited for him.
"Do you think Raven still visits?" Terra asked.
"I don't know. Probably not because it hurts so much. I know for a fact that she thinks about him everyday though."
Terra nodded as they got in their car and headed back home.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
In Gotham City, Robin and Starfire joined Batman with his nightly patrol. It was hard going back to the life he used to have. Robin had so many memories with the Titans, and even more with Cyborg since they met before joining the Titans.
Each night, he would look at the picture of him and Cyborg before going to sleep. Batman was like a father to him and Cyborg was like a brother. When he would think about what happened to him, Robin would feel that he was losing his family again.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
After several weeks had gone by, he finally found where Raven was staying. Instead of calling her, he paid her a visit at her job. It was a surprise to see him, but a pleasant one for Raven because Robin was the only other person who knew Cyborg the most besides her.
They would spend hours talking about Cy and what they knew about him. There were things that each of them knew that the other didn't. She was finally showing an emotion that she didn't show in months... happiness.
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
At first, Robin would visit her once a month, but gradually he started spending more and more time with her and less and less time with Starfire.
"Robin, may I talk to you?" Starfire asked as Robin was leaving to go visit Raven.
"Sure Star. I've for a minute."
"Why are you spending so much time with Raven?"
"Because she needs the comfort. It's been almost a year since she and Cyborg were going to be married. We need to be there for her since he isn't anymore. I guess she likes having me around more is because I was the closest to him besides her."
"I understand that, but you have been spending more time with her than you have with me. Are you sure that making sure that she's okay is the only reason that you're seeing her."
"Of course Star, but I have to go now." Robin said as he got on his bike. "That's crazy, I don't love Raven. She's still grieving over Cyborg." He thought as he drove away.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Starfire waved as he slowly disappeared. After he was gone, she went inside to make something to eat.
"Should I go check on him? I trust Robin, and he would never keep anything from me. Wouldn't he?" Starfire thought. "Only one way to find out."
She closed the fridge and left to follow Robin. When she caught up with him, she made sure that she was high enough so that he wouldn't see her, but close enough so she could watch him.
It was nighttime when Robin made it into Metropolis. Starfire was tired from all the flying, but she kept on following him hoping that she was just overreacting. When she saw Raven, she saw a smile on her face. It made Starfire smile too since it was nearly a whole year since she saw her friend smile.
Raven got on Robin's bike as they went around the town with Starfire right above them. They went into a restaurant to have dinner, then to the city park. Starfire felt jealousy rise as she saw how close they were sitting to each other. It was nearly midnight when Robin took Raven back to her apartment.
Robin followed her inside while Starfire searched around the outside for her room. When she found Raven's room, she saw Robin and Raven sitting on her bed looking at a photo album. Raven was crying as she moved her hand across the photos. Starfire hung her head remembering the day that Cy ended up in a coma. When she lifted it up, she saw Robin and Raven look at each other in the eyes before sharing a passionate kiss.
"No." Starfire whimpered as she grabbed her chest. The pain of seeing her love kissing another woman was too much. She flew away as fast as she could with tears falling into the wind's glove, making them fall on Raven's window.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
In Raven's apartment, they stopped kissing and looked at each other then kissed each other before falling on her bed.
When Starfire returned to the Wayne Manor, she was a mess. Tears were running down her face messing up her make-up. She walked up to her room and shakily packed her bags.
Her heart was broken. The first boy who she loved was in the arms of another. It was more than she could stand. She couldn't stay there, but she had no where else to go. All of the places she knew reminded her of him.
Once she finished her packing, she sat on her bed and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.
"Robin, I am sorry but I can't stay with you anymore." She placed her hands on the sides of her head. Her head was hurting because she was crying so much. "I feel that I have lost you to Raven, and I know now that I have. I don't know where I'll go, but don't look for me. You were my first love, but I guess that I didn't mean the same to you. May you and Raven have happiness with each other." Starfire scribbled on the piece of paper, which was mixed with make-up and tears.
She walked downstairs with her luggage and called a taxi.
"Alfred, please give this to Robin when he returns. It was fun while it lasted, but I can't stay here anymore."
"Where will you go madam?"
"I do not know, but I do know that it will be for the better." She said as she stepped outside of the mansion and waited for the cab.
Alfred watched as she got in. He knew what was going on, but could do nothing about it. As he lowered his head and walked away, Starfire's cab drove away. Never to return.
