Sorry for the lack of updating. I'm going through something weird so forgive me if I say something odd.

Cyborg was in shock. Carmen had never yelled at him like that before. Never. Why was she so angry? What happened to her? Carmen looked shocked as well. She shook her head and looked down at her bag. Her guilty conscience slapped her in the face. Starfire, Robin, Raven and Beast boy peered in the room quietly. They had heard Carmen yell and came to see what was up. Cyborg scooted closer and placed his hand on top of hers.
"I can't fix anything if you don't tell me what's wrong." Carmen kept her eyes down.
"Nothing's wrong," her voice was quiet and was full of regret. She didn't mean to yell at him, it just came out. Cyborg slid his fingers in the palm of her hand.
"You're a bad liar. You know you can't hide that stuff from me," Carmen looked at him out of the corner of her eye. He was right. She couldn't hide anything from him. Carmen gripped his fingers.
"You never told me my family skipped town," she said quietly. "Did you know?" Cyborg looked down at his feet.
"Yeah, I knew," Carmen felt the anger starting to flow throughout her body again. "Sorry I didn't say anything, but there was too much happening at once and the subject never came up,"
"I guess not," she felt like an ignorant little girl. Victor wouldn't deliberately keep something that important from her. The other Titans watch silently as the scene unfolded. Raven and Starfire looked at each other and nodded. Raven used her powers and placed Robin and Beast boy in bubbles while Starfire closed the door as quietly as she could. They understood that Carmen and Cyborg needed alone-time to talk. "So, what happened to them?" Carmen held onto Cyborg's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. They were leaning against the wall at the foot of Carmen's bed.
"Well to be blunt, your father, James and Mark are in jail. Derek owns his own computer business down state. Tony and Kevin live with your Aunt May. Molly, Fehn and Nicole ran away from their foster parents, but I think Fehn was found last year. Can't say as I know what happened to your mom though," Carmen blinked.
"Wow. You're quite informative," she paused for a moment. "What about Anny?" Cyborg looked into her wanting eyes. Anny was the one who took care of Carmen. So he saved her for last.
"Anny lives on one of the new chains islands near Australia. Last I heard she worked at a bookstore," Carmen didn't reply. Her eyes were dazed and started to tear up, but she held them back.
"Anny always wanted to live in Australia," she sighed. "I miss her,"
"Yeah, I know you do," They remained silent for a while recollecting everything that happened to them. "Hey Carmen,"
"Hm?"
"There's a movie playing this Saturday. It's an action/comedy type movie. Wanna go see it?" Cyborg blushed slightly when Carmen giggled.
"What? Like a date?" His blushing intensified. Carmen looked up at him a smiled.
"Well, yeah. I guess," he scratched the back of his neck. This was some what easier than what he expected it to be.
"Ok, sounds like fun," Beast boy managed to escape Starfire and Raven. He was crouched on the floor with his ear pressed against the door. Cyborg noticed his shadow under the door and opened it quickly. He looked down at BB angrily. Beast boy smiled sheepishly and bolted down the hallway. Cyborg glared at him when he peered around the corner. Beast boy ran to his room and slammed the door shut.
"Yeah, that's what I thought,"

I know his is unbearably short, but (thinks of excuse)… (Couldn't find one) that's life. Oh congrats to Tsunami-dono for guessing the correct movie. R&R
