Song Used: Usher - Burn

All of their eyes were on Cyborg as he slowly walked his way towards them.

"So, when were you going to tell me?" He asked in an amazingly calm tone.

No one said a word as the distance between them and him became smaller. He repeated his question, but in a louder tone.

"W-We were going to tell you." Robin choked.

"Is that right?" Cy said as he smiled.

I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to


"Uh-oh." BB thought when he saw Cy smile.

Sensing what was going to happen, BB guided Terra to the wall.

"I wonder what Rob wants on his tombstone." BB whispered to Terra.

Terra nodded as Cy stood right in front of Robin.

"Why didn't you two tell me?" Cyborg asked as he looked at Beast Boy and Terra.

"We didn't know how." Was all that BB could say as he lowered his head.

"You son of a bitch." Cyborg said in a deep, low voice.

"I deserved that."

"And a LOT more for stepping on my turf!" Cy yelled.

"I am nobody's turf!"

"Oh, so you belong to Robin now?!"

"She doesn't belong to anybody!" Robin interjected. "Besides, we wouldn't be having this argument if a certain someone watched what he was doing three years ago against the HIVE!"

What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn


Cyborg smiled and nodded, then punched Robin in the face. He twisted his fist to break more skin as he made contact with Robin's cheek. Their former leader stumbled back against the wall and slumped down holding his mouth.

Raven ran over to him as a thick, crimson colored liquid slowly oozed from Robin's hand. He pulled his hand back to reveal a slit from cheek as the blood ran down his chin.

"I'll go get the first-aid kit." Terra aid while dashing off.

"How dare you." Cyborg said as he stood there, his eyes narrowed on his fallen comrade.

Terra came back with some gauze, ointment, and medical tape. Raven tended to his wounds while the others watched.

"I already knew, I was just waiting for you two to tell me."

"H-How did you know?" Terra asked him as Raven and Robin looked at Cyborg.

"While you two were going to get these two at their wedding, someone paid me a little visit. Can you guess who it was?"

It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change


"Starfire. Who else would know?" BB gasped while Cy nodded.

"When I saw her, I wondered why she wasn't with you Robin. Her face was a mess as she told me everything. As much as it hurt her when she saw you two kissing, she couldn't leave you alone. She did leave, but she went back to the mansion for a whole month while you were living with Raven. After you didn't come back, she left for good." Cyborg said as Robin's eyes went wide.

Cyborg popped his neck as Robin stood up before Raven could finish and ran to attack Cy. Cy walked forward, but was cut off by Beast Boy and Terra, while Raven used her powers to hold Robin in place.

I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby

Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn


"You're lying!" Robin exclaimed.

"You bastard! You had no right messing with my girl while I was gone!" Cy yelled angrily while B had to turn into a bear to stop Cyborg from getting any closer to Robin.

"Well you shouldn't have left her in the first place!"

"Do you think I had a choice?! Besides, you already had someone!"

"Enough! I'm tired of hearing you argue over me like I'm your property! I don't belong to either of you! I choose who I do and don't want to be with!" Raven yelled at Cy.

When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


Raven let Robin down. "Let's go Robin. I seem to have made the right decision in moving on."

"You self-righteous little bitch." Cyborg said, his eyes glaring at her and Robin as they left.

Raven and Robin walked out of the tower's exit. Robin stood there as Raven went back towards Cyborg. When she reached him, she slapped him across the face. Several tears rolled down her face as she looked at him in the eyes. His human eye showed no emotion as he turned his face to look at her. She walked back to Robin and they headed out of the tower.

Cyborg watched as the doors closed behind his former love.

"I think you two should go." Cyborg said as he headed towards the elevator.

Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


Terra began to say something, but BB cut her off. She lowered her head and began to walk away. BB looked at Cy as the elevator door closed on him. He followed closely behind Terra.

At their car, Terra broke down, and began weeping. The people who were her family for so long were splitting up. Beast Boy comforted her with a tight hug. He guided her to her seat, then walked over to the driver's side and got in.

Cyborg was on the roof watching them leave. A slow, cold breeze blew past him as he looked up at the moon, while it stood out amongst the millions of tiny stars next to it. He placed his right hand on his cheek; the same cheek that Raven slapped, and thought about all that just went down.

Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late


He fell to his knees and began to cry. His whole world was coming down around him. First, he lost his love for years and his best friend. He began punching the surface of the roof as hard as he could. He wanted to bleed away the pain, but no matter how hard, or how much he punched, his metallic hands wouldn't let him.

"Why? Why? Why?" He cried as he finally stopped punching the roof.

As the tears streamed down his face, he looked up at the night sky. So many nights he and Raven spent on the roof just looking at it. The night was their time, but it would be no more.

I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return


At Raven's apartment, things were quiet. Robin and Raven didn't know what to say to each other. Each one wondered if what they did was the right thing. They gained each other, but lost the one person who the closest to both of them.

Robin decided that they need to talk, but Raven wasn't in the mood. It ended with Robin walking out on her.

Raven was slowly getting up out of bed. She didn't feel like going to work today, so she called to have someone fill in for her. Cyborg was gone, and now Robin was too. The whole day she sat around thinking about what she did. She raised up the hand that struck Cyborg's face. The look that she received after she hit him haunted the most. It was one that she never saw. The look was one of no remorse. He meant what he said and didn't care. She hated him for calling her that, but she couldn't stop thinking about him.

When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


Her hand reached for the phone. She picked it up and started to dial the tower, but hung up before pressing the final digit. Over the past few days, she and Robin barely spoke to one another. She knew that he was thinking about Starfire, but she couldn't complain because she was thinking about Cyborg.

Her pale hands went to her face as she started crying, but a knock at the door broke her thoughts. She wiped her face as she walked towards the door. When she opened the door, she was shocked to see Starfire on the other side.

"Starfire, I'm so sor-" Raven began to speak, but was cut off by Starfire slapping her in the face.

Deep down you know its best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


Raven looked back up and Starfire while holding her cheek. Her face was the same as Cyborg's. She lowered her head as the tears started flowing down her face. Starfire reached out and hugged her as she wept. The only other female that was there in the beginning, and the only female that understood her and knew everything about her, she stabbed in the back.

"We need to talk." Starfire said, while pushing Raven away to arms length.

Raven nodded and let her in. Starfire followed Raven to her couch, but stayed standing while Raven sat down.

I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry


"I'm so sorry Starfire. I never meant for any of this to happ-" Raven mumbled, but was cut off.

"Forget it. I'm over it now."

"You are?"

"Yes, but as much as I want to forget Robin, I can't. I hate him for not telling me, because I thought that he was able to tell me anything."

"I guess you hate me too."

So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return


"I don't hate you, I hate what you did. I hate what both of you did. I understand how you felt when you lost Cyborg, you needed comfort and he was there. He was the best choice, but he was already with someone. And when Cy came back, you didn't do anything. Now you've lost him, and Robin."

"H-How did you know?"

"I left, but I couldn't leave Robin. As much as I hate him, he still means everything to me. Call me stupid, but I still love him. He was always the person I could go to."

Starfire turned around and began to walk to the door.

"So you're going to look for him?"

"No. I'm just going, if I end up seeing him, then we'll talk. If I don't, then I don't. I still love him, but I can't be with him. What about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You love Robin right?"

"Yeah."

"But you still love Cyborg don't you?"

Raven paused and thought about that question. Did she still love him? When he came out of his coma, he was all the she could think about. Even when she was with Robin those months while trying to think of ways to tell him, she still thought about everything they had been though. She couldn't fight it, she was still in love with him.

When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


"Yes. I do."

Starfire turned her head to look at Raven. "Then you have to choose. Which one do you want to be with? I can't tell you which one, only your heart can."

After she said that, she started walking out of Raven's apartment. When Starfire was gone, Raven started thinking about who she wanted to be with. She began going over all that has gone on, from the time that the Titans started, all the way until then. Both guys were there for her equally, but only one was right for her.

Starfire's voice rang in her head while she debated which one loved her most and which one she loves more. "Your heart will choose."

She closed her eyes and focused on her heart. Then she opened her eyes. Her choice was made.

Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
