Chapter Six

Breaking things off and a birth of a new relationship

It was around 6:30 p.m. and all the Titans were in the hospital lounge, Terra had fallen asleep on BB's shoulder while he had an arm draped around her and the other holding her hand. Starfire was in a chair and thinking about the past events while Cyborg walked around the room, Robin was off getting everyone something to eat. "Dammit I should of saw that! I should have shot Jinx! Its all my fault!" BB looked at him and frowned a bit, "Dude" he said, "It's not your fault things happen, you know that, and besides, the doctors said she'd be fine, so, just chill." The Mechanical being sat down in a chair and put his head in his hands, just then Robin came with two trays of food, with two mini trays on each one with the meals on them.

He came to Cyborg first and handed him one of the mini trays "Double chili dog and cheese fries with a Pepsi" he said confirming him order, Cyborg smiled weakly and took it, for once in his life he didn't shove it down. He walked over to BB and Terra; BB had just woken the blonde Titan up, "For BB a quarter pound cheeseburger with fries and a Sprit, for Terra Macaroni and Cheese with milk" "Thanks Robin" Terra smiled a little at him, he smiled back at her, BB and him nodded at each other. He walked over to Star and handed her tray to her "Vegetable soup for you and some water" Star thanked him, he nodded, over the years Star had changed her obsession from mustard to a taste for soups, she was actually good at making them, only them. Robin sat in another chair with his bangers, an Irish sausage, and mashed potatoes, he was drinking coffee, as he sipped it he put it back down and put more sugar in it, he tasted it again and was satisfied.

Everyone was quite as they ate their meals but their minds went through so many thoughts about Raven and if she was ok, if she would be herself when she came out, if she'd stay with the titans. When they all finished their meals Cyborg took the trays and returned them, Terra feel asleep again after a while, so did Star. Cyborg tried to take his minds of things by reading the auto magazine, Beastboy was letting Terra rest on his shoulder and was stroking her hair and Robin just paced around the room. Cyborg looked up from his magazine and sighed, he put it down and came up behind Robin. He put his hand on his leader's shoulder and said "Robin, the doctor said she'd be alright, you shouldn't stress yourself bro" "Yeah dude, just chill out" agreed Beastboy. Robin sighed, they were right, he turned to them and smiled slightly "Thanks guys" they smiled back "no problem" said Cyborg "Anytime dude" said the animal morpher.

Inside Raven's mind she was talking with her personalities about the Robin issue. "There is no reason to get involved, he'll leave you for Starfire in an instant" said Lonely, in a depressed mood, "Yeah, and even if he doesn't he'll weaken your powers like he just did" agreed Brave. Joy tapped her on her shoulder and Raven turned around, "Robin is really good to you, I think you should stay with him" Raven looked at her "I think Brave and Lonely are right, I was to distracting with what happened this morning..." Raven looked down, she really didn't want to leave Robin but she had to. She walked around her mind and sat down at the edge of a cliff that over looked a black lake. After a couple minutes later she felt something rubbing against her thigh, it was furry and small, she looked down to see a cat, a small black cat, unlike the other creatures in her mind its had only one pair of eyes, they were soft blue, the other creatures had two pairs of total blood red eyes.

She smiled at the creature and petted it and scratched its ears, "Hey Mare, how are you girl?" she asked her as she picked her up and put her on her lap, the cat gave a pleasant meow. This was one of the very few things she'd show emotion to. Raven sighed as she petted the cat named Mare and looked down on her "I don't know what to do girl, should I stay with Robin? The pros of staying with him are I can be happy for once and can let out my emotions but the cons are if I let out my emotions things explode and I loose concentration and it effects my fighting skills, what do you think girl?" the cat looked up at her and meowed at her, Raven felt that she was giving her a blank response as if she didn't know what to do. 'Oh girl, if only you were real...' she thought, but do to the fact that she was in her mind that thought echoed throughout her mind. Meanwhile the Titans were heading home because the hospital was closing.

That nights at the Tower, when all the Titans accept one were asleep, Robin trained intensely in the gym; at the moment he was bench-pressing two hundred and fifty pounds. 'Twenty-six, twenty...seven, twenty-eight, twenty...nine, thirty' he counted in his head as he put the bar back on the hooks, he sat up and took a little break, he was only wearing a pair of sweat pants. He sighed thinking about today, seeing Raven being stabbed by Jinx, he balled his fists in anger, he saw her fall, he ran up to the punching bag, he saw her eyes filled with pain, he punched a hole in the bag. 'Dammit...' he thought 'I could have done more, I should have fought harder through those Slade robots, I have to get stronger, next time someone could really get hurt... or even...killed' he picked his bo staff and pressed a button on a control panel on the wall. A door across from him opened up and robots that looked like Slade came out.

During the next few minutes the rest of the team were watching Robin rip through the robots, using their torn off arms and legs, or just their whole bodies entirely. The watched through the camera in the room on the TV, their original goal was to find Robin using the cameras to tell him that he needed to go to bed, but the were horror-struck by what they saw. Starfire was hiding behind Cyborg. Occasionally peeking out to see if Robin had stopped, despite the fact she heard him still caring on with destroying all of the robots, Cy just stared bug eyed. Terra was clinging to Beastboy and he had an arm around her, they watched their friend in dreadfulness.

He leaped from the ceiling's electrical pole, swiping his bo staff to distract the four Slade imitation robots' attention, he landed right in the middle of the circle they had formed, he grabbed the one in front of him and threw it to the left of him, colliding with one of the others. He then flipped over the one who was behind him and tripped the one to the side of him bashing their heads against the ground. It looked much like what he did to the Titans on top of the Wayne Enterprise building when he was working for Slade, without the whole head bashing and killing thing, and laser. The Two robots he had thrown at each other recovered from their collision and gotten up, Robin leaped up behind them and, with his back to them, he pulled out his two bo staffs and impaled them through their lower back and out their stomach area, the staffs shocked them and blew them to bits, Robin put them away and turned around, their was one left, and this one was just as strong, if not stronger, as the real Slade.

The young male and the mechanical imitation of the villain stared at each other for a minute or two, seeing if staring would make their opponent surrender, but neither did, the robot charged at Robin, the way the real Slade would, Robin had recorded everything while Slade's apprentice, so he knew his fighting style. Robin just closed his eyes and waited, he listened to 'Slade' run towards him with every step, and just before he got him in the face Robin opened his eyes and...got punched, in the face, hard, very hard, so hard his nose and mouth were bleeding.

Robin got up and stared at the Slade-bot again and charged at it, he ripped it to shreds in fury, anger, and hatred. You see, what Robin attempted was a technique that only Batman knew, he had watched him use it once when the Joker told him about how he killed his parents, the Joker is now paralyzed completely, a total vegetable. On many occasions has Robin asked to learn this, but never succeeded in persuading him to do so. Just as Robin finished the Robot off, by shoving its head down into its body, after ripping off its right arm and beating it with it, and throwing it across the room. Then doing something that left Robin and the robot a blur on the camera because they were moving so fast, leaving it with half an arm and no right foot. Cyborg and Beastboy came rushing in, it had taken awhile because Robin was in his personal gym beneath the basement, and had a security code Cyborg almost couldn't hack, (A/N: emphasize on ALMOST, lol).

Robin was still beating the Slade robot until Cyborg put him in a full Nelson, Beast boy quickly turned off the system and the ten robots that were about to come out shut down, after Robin calmed down Beastboy and Cyborg looked at him cocking a brow. 'Dude, what was that all about?" asked Beastboy "What do you mean? Cyborg! Let go of me!" Robin commanded trying to get out of his hold, usually, if a villain had put him in a position such as this he would be able to get out of it, but not without hurting him, and Cyborg was much stronger then any ordinary villain. BB activated the projection screen and played back what he had just done to the robots, then what he did to the Titans as Slade's apprentice everything was the exact same, so exact that Beastboy had played both of them at the same time right on top of each other and everything happened alike.

"That's what I'm talking about Robin!" he said, by this time Cyborg had let go of Robin and watched him stare at the projections, Robin looked to Cyborg for confirmation if that was true, He nodded to him, no words need be spoken between the three at this point, they let Robin walk away to his room and they left through the secondary entrance that led to the basement, where they went through and up to the hallway and into the kitchen. Cyborg made them both a cup of coffee and they sat down.

The kitchen had been redone since a resent attack from Overload, he had destroyed the kitchen completely, it had been redone the same, with only small differences. Like for instance, the room had been expanded four more inches on each side, so cabinets were bigger, counters were longer and they bought, or rather Beastboy and Cyborg bought, with a loan from Raven which she has now added extra interest each month because they always have so little money and they've owed it to her for about a year now, a quadruple sized mast king fridge. Apparently it came with a ham because it's been there ever since they've got it, but no one's eaten it because it had come blue, but now was blackish greenish. They also put a built in table in the middle of the kitchen with doors on the top for silver wear and such, and cabinets on the bottom, for pans and such.

MTV Cribs has been begging for a tour of the Tower for such time now, once they paid Justin Timberlake to get on his knees and beg along with Usher, Starfire asked to keep them, but Beastboy distracted her by transforming himself into a kitten, then a puppy, then a panda bear, Cyborg and Terra were plotting a way to prank them, BB was going to do with them as soon as he thought of a way to distract Starfire with something else other than himself. Robin, who had answered the door, kept telling them to go away or he'd kick the crap out of them, tie them to twenty foot rope and drag them across the ocean in his speed boat, but they kept on asked and begging and pleading.

MTV must have made them billionaires for doing this, and some how they got into the Tower and started bugging the Titans, and everything they were about to kick them out they threatened to sue them, and the Titans were in debt with the kitchen remolding anyway. Usher tried to flirt with Raven, he even started performing on the table in the living room in front of the couch she was reading on, she couldn't go to her room because Overload had ruined it when he invaded the Tower, he hadn't actually gone in it, he just stomped around until everything inside their broke, he paid exceedingly for that. Usher started doing that odd Confessions dance, then Justin joined in, then they start feeling on their own legs like Usher did in the Let it Burn video.

Raven couldn't take it anymore, she teleported to her room and cleaned up with her powers, it was early in the morning so she was still in her pajamas. She went back to bed only to find Aston Kutcher (sp?) there; she had put disturbing images in their minds and kicked them all out of the Tower, they had to swim back to shore, when they got there they quite their careers. They now can be found in a local dump near you. (A/N: Sorry to all you Aston Justin and Usher fans out there, I just had to do this, even though it might be a little excessive)

Cyborg and Beastboy started talking about the new cruiser the Titans were planning to buy, it was a 410 Regal with twin diesel engines, they have been out of debt for a while now and had some money from the bank as a thanks from stopping a robbery their, They weren't sure whether to get it from this one marina or another, one was cheaper but the other one came with more options, although more expensive it was cheap for all the new options and space it had. After a while Cyborg went to bed, Beastboy cleaned up, if Cyborg had saw this he would of ran to the basement and prepared for the apocalypse. Beastboy decided to head to the docks and skip rocks, he went to his room and grabbed his jean Levi jacket and put on a pair of old New Balance sneakers and took the elevator to the back door.

When Beastboy got to the docks he saw Terra there crying on the edge, Beastboy quickly dashed towards her, he kneeled in back of her and put his right hand on her shoulder and said "Terra, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice drenched in concern for her, she turned to him and blushed, turning back and lowering her head in mortification. Beastboy got up and sat next to her, he draped his jacket around for she was in only a light blue tang top and light blue pajama pants, he took her hand "Its ok Terra, if you don't want to tell me I won't force you to, just know I'm here for you, and I always will be, forever" he said.

Terra looked up at him and into his green eyes deeply, searching for any trace of lie, she could not locate any, she smiled at him "Thank you Beastboy" she said, and then what the earth commander did was a total surprise to the morpher, she kissed him dead on the lips. At first the young man was surprised, eyes wide, and hands in the air, Terra broke apart and looked at Beastboy and giggled a bit. After a few second Beastboy's brain finished processing what the last five seconds were all about, he looked down and blushed. Terra took his hand and lead him back to the tower, Beastboy just followed, he found himself in front of Terra's door.

Beastboy's skin turned from green to red, "Um, Terra? What are you doing?" he asked as she led him into her room, she lead him to the bed and sat him down, she sat next to him. "Beastboy? Will you sleep with me?" she asked him, Beastboy bolted up and turned red again, "Um, Terra, I-I can't, t-to f- well you know, but its not like I don't want to- I mean I do- um-um-um, not now, later but it doesn't mean I don't like you!" he spat out Terra giggled and hugged him, he, once again, was surprised, "Not like that, just regular sleep silly" she said as she buried her head into his muscular chest "I don't want to have the nightmares" she said in a whisper. Beastboy put his hands around her "Ok Terra, I won't leave you" he said, they stood there, in each other's embrace, after a few minutes Beastboy left for about fifteen seconds to change into his PJ's, which was black pajamas bottoms and a white t-shirt.

Terra was already in the bed waiting, Beastboy climbed in and she cuddled up him, resting his head on his chest. Beastboy had put one arm around her and the other held her hand, the lights turned off automatically. "Goodnight Beastboy" Terra said.

"Logan"

"What do you mean?"

"My name, my real name, is Logan Garfield" he revealed to her, she looked up to him and smiled, "Goodnight Logan, I love you" she said kissing him on the cheek and going to sleep, the last thing she heard was "Goodnight Terra, my one true love" with that they fell asleep.
