What happens next?
Dare You To Move, Switchfoot
Robin ran his right hand along the murals on the wall. Odd pictures were painted there: a boy lying in what Robin supposed to be a bed, with several men hovering around him. A girl with a bird's feathers and wings as arms. A baby with a monkey's tail and ears. The pictures were faded, but Dick Grayson could still tell that whoever had drawn the pictures was a wonderful artist. They were so realistic that the Titans' leader had a small fear that they might even come to life any moment on the wall.
The teen withdrew his hand, looking at the sheet of dust that had gathered on his hand. He wiped his hand on his pants and continued on, his quiet footsteps heard only by the air around his shoes.
A particularly beautiful painting called out to him and caught his eye. Robin looked up at a picture of a girl, about seventeen. She was slim and had bright, happy green eyes that shone and hair that cascaded all the way down to her thighs. The hair was a bright orange, shining in the sun in the picture. The girl had a long, graceful panther's tail that arched in the air. Three delicate whiskers were below her nose and two ears perched on her head. She was gorgeous and reminded Robin of someone he liked very, very much.
Robin continued past the painting. He paused at a fork in the path. Which way to go? Suddenly, he heard a shriek and loud bangs from the right path. The boy wonder raced through the hallway at amazing speed and knocked over the bots guarding the entrance. He saw Starfire struggling with several of Slade's bots and immediately helped her out by knocking over several of the machines with his staff, which he had hidden in one of his pockets.
"Robin, please be careful not to—" Starfire started to shout, but it was too late. The bots Robin had just knocked over slammed into the wall and the temple began to shake. The ancient walls began to cave in, the entrance in which Starfire and Robin came from immediately being covered by rocks. Starfire immediately grabbed Robin and started flying towards the top of temple where the bowel was, but the top caved in, too. The girl reacted quickly, jerking to one side and landing on the ground with Robin. They looked at each other briefly with panic in their eyes: How would they escape?
Rapidly, Robin spotted something. He grabbed Starfire's wrist and dragged her under an overhanging piece of collapsed rock. They huddled under the jutted rock and the debris falling on top of the rock didn't hurt them. They had no choice but to stay still and pray as the temple fell apart.
Robin finally came to his senses and brought out his communicator.
"Cyborg! Beastboy! And, uh, Terra! Get out as fast as you can!" He shouted over the crashes of the walls falling. To his horror, Beastboy's communicator had no signal, Cyborg's communicator was off (which frightened Robin a lot, since it was built into his arm—why would he turn it off?), and Terra's also had no signal.
A large piece of wall fell close to the rock the two were huddled under and Starfire jumped back, right into Robin. He blushed and she removed herself quickly. They both looked around them, watching Slade's bots get crushed by falling pieces of temple. Soon, there were so many rocks around them that they couldn't see anything that was happening. Then, with a last resounding smash, there was utter silence.
Robin then realized he was stuck in a three by four feet space with Starfire, with no means of getting out.
Cyborg cursed loudly. He had been inside the temple when it started collapsing, and he had run right out into the open air, with no injuries at all. The reason he had cursed was this: none of his fellow Titans were outside with him.
Oh, and his communicator wouldn't turn on no matter how much he fiddled with the dials.
Cyborg surveyed the scene with dismay. The temple, once only half ruined, was now completely ruined. It stood, not twenty feet high as it had a few hours ago, but only eight feet high at its highest.
He walked around the temple carefully. Cyborg flinched as he saw a skeleton of someone—the American looters, he guessed—half buried under a pile of rubble. He quickly moved on and spotted a small, green garden snake slithering out of a crack in the wreckage. The snake grew longer, its eyes growing larger and its body starting to stand erect. It grew legs and arms and facial creatures—and it did all this in a matter of two seconds. Beastboy stood before Cyborg.
"Do you know where the others are?" Beastboy asked. The changeling reached into his pocket and revealed a crushed communicator. "My communicator got smashed."
Cyborg shook his head. "Mine won't work."
Suddenly, a rock shifted. They both whirled around and saw several rocks nearby engulfed in yellow energy. Terra emerged from behind them once they were lifted and placed somewhere else. In her hands was a smashed cell phone.
"Something hit me and it sort of flew out of pocket and got killed by a rock," Terra said, before they could ask. "Anyone find the stone or Robin and Star?"
Cyborg shook his head. "BB, how did your communicator break?"
"Well, I had it out and I don't know what, but something slammed into me from my left and I dropped it and a rock fell onto it."
"I don't think this is a coincidence," Cyborg said darkly. "Someone's been messing with my communicator signals and broke your communicator and cell phone on purpose. Think it could be Slade?"
Beastboy shrugged. "Let's figure that out later. We need to find the others and the stone."
Cyborg and Terra agreed, but didn't split up. They felt it would be better to travel together. They walked around the temple, Beastboy occasionally turning into a bird to fly over the remains.
Eventually, they climbed on top of the debris and started walking over it, being careful not to trip. Terra caught sight of something shiny. She walked over to it and saw a light shining from under a rock.
"Hey, guys, I think I found something."
Beastboy flew over and Cyborg followed.
Terra raised a hand and the rock glowed and lifted. Underneath was the bowl that had stood proudly on top of the temple. Just as they had all thought, fragments of jewels were embedded into the sides. But that wasn't what awed them most—the thing floating in the center of the bowl was. In the center, bobbing gently, was a perfectly in tact stone. It was icy blue and as cold as snow when Beastboy picked it up and it seemed to send out rays of light and color. It was more beautiful than any diamond, and colder than any iceberg.
"The Alucinor Mortis," Beastboy breathed.
Starfire experimentally fired a few starbolts at the rocks. Nothing. They were dented a little, but not knocked out of the way. She turned to Robin helplessly. "We are trapped."
Robin pushed at the rock above them. "Yea."
Starfire glanced at Robin. He looked back at her. In the limited space, they had to sit cross-legged, Starfire's knee one top of Robin's. Their arms were touching, too, and their faces were very close together.
"I don't know how we'll get out," Robin said. Starfire's warm breath tickled his neck and his cheeks colored.
"Perhaps we shall try the screaming for help?" Starfire suggested. She reached over for Robin's hand and squeezed it. Robin's heart skipped a beat at the feeling of her warmth…
"Beastboy! Cyborg! Terra! HELP!"
The three tore their eyes away from the wondrous stone and glanced at a nearby rock, where the shouts were coming from. Terra raised the rocks at saw Robin and Starfire sitting there, in a tiny space, holding hands. She raised an eyebrow. "Enjoying yourselves?"
Robin blushed and jumped out. Then, seeing the Alucinor Mortis, took advantage of the distraction. "You found it!"
"Glorious!" Starfire flew into the air. "Let us return at once!"
The journey back was nowhere near as tense as the journey to. The Titans were happy and reenergized, running almost the whole way, discussing why Slade's bots where there.
"Dude, isn't it obvious? They were there to stop us from taking the stone!" Beastboy said. The stone was wrapped protectively on a piece of cloth ripped from Starfire's enormous shirt (don't worry, it was ripped near the bottom, so it wasn't as if Star was walking around half-naked) and BB was hugging it to his chest.
"But why didn't they take it with them, then?" Robin argued back. "They could've easily just taken it and destroyed it." The boy wonder stopped to tie his shoe, and the others waited for him.
"Maybe they didn't get there in time, so they had to stop us," Beastboy said logically. "Who cares, we have the stone now, anyway."
Robin fell silent as he stood up to continue. He agreed with Beastboy, but the reasonable voice in the back of his head that sounded uncannily like Batman kept insisting that there was something fishy about how the whole ignominy had worked out.
The Titans soon reached the spot where Terra had dropped the rock. They all boarded on and sat down, saving energy.
"I hope Raven's still not murdering people," Beastboy muttered, fidgeting with the stone.
"Why did she wish to harm us in the first place?" Starfire asked.
"And dude, what did she say to you when she got up from being knocked out?" Cyborg took off his arm and started trying to fix his communicator.
"She told me to go get the stone," Beastboy replied. "I think she was being controlled by the metal bracelet on her wrist and at that time, she overcame its power or something."
"Maybe she was acting by herself," Terra suggested.
Robin shook his head. "No, that's your thing, isn't it? Raven knows how to make decisions." A sudden flare of hatred kindled in Robin's heart.
Beastboy glared daggers at his leader. "Chill, dude! That was in the past."
"Oh, so now you're back to being her girlfriend? Raven was right, you are naïve," Robin retorted angrily. Out of all the Titans, Raven was the one who distrusted Terra most, but Robin was second to her, though he didn't show it much.
"What'd she say?" Beastboy said vociferously.
"Nothing," Robin shot back viciously. "Forget it." Robin thought back to that conversation. It was right after Terra's 'death', and Beastboy had locked himself in his room.
Robin walked into the abandoned common room. Raven was the only one in there, sitting on the black couch and reading a book. A steaming mug of tea was next to her. She looked up as Robin walked in.
"It's too quiet here," Raven stated. Her eyes betrayed no emotion. "Usually Beastboy and Cyborg are here arguing about their stupid games."
"Yeah, well, Cyborg can't exactly argue with him while he's in his room, can he?" Robin leaned on the side of couch.
"Naïve," Raven said in her monotone voice. "That's what he is. He should know that she isn't going to come back. He needs to move on."
Move on. Robin didn't know it yet, but a few days later he would say those exact words to Beastboy.
"I'm going to my room," Raven stood up, closing her book. She levitated her tea next to her. "Good night."
She left Robin alone in the room with his thoughts.
Beastboy sulked on one side of the rock, with Terra next to him. Robin sulked on the other side, with Starfire trying to talk to him.
Cyborg rolled his eyes. They could be really immature with their little tiffs if they wanted to. Ever since a year and a half ago, when Beastboy had his little adventure with Adonis and turning into a Man-Beast, BB and Robin would have arguments. Small things, like where to place a fork or something similarly stupid. The others had noticed but ignored this. On the contrary, Cyborg and Beastboy had grown to be closer best friends and didn't argue with anything except video games.
"We're almost there," Beastboy said finally, stopping his sulking and standing up.
When they arrived at the village, Love was waiting anxiously for them. As soon as Beastboy had gotten off the rock, she embraced him in a hug worthy of Starfire.
"Hurry, Gross has already solidified!" Love ran to the hut and the others followed, Terra seething.
On a straw bed in one of the rooms lay Raven, pale and unconscious. Her body was floating a few inches above the bed, bobbing slightly. The other emotions gathered around her.
"Intelligence, why don't you go first?" Robin asked her. She nodded and Beastboy handed her the stone.
"Apparently, I simply need to desire myself to be in Raven's mind once more while holding the Alucinor Mortis?" Intelligence asked, unwrapping the stone to reveal it in all its glory. It shone in the sun coming in from the window.
The Titans and Terra nodded.
Intelligence closed her eyes, floating into the air while holding the stone. Sky blue, sapphire, cerulean, and navy waves of color streamed from the stone, reflecting onto the bare walls. The Alucinor Mortis seemed to cast a light onto Intelligence's face, making it shine. Then her face seemed to slowly dissolve, swirling and twisting. Her body followed, and then soon she was nothing but a yellow mist, hovering in the air. The stone seemed to float by itself. The mist hovered over Raven, and then shot itself into her chakra. Raven's body jolted with impact and she sat straight up, eyes open. Her bracelet glowed red, but a piece of yellow mist flew out of the chakra and wrapped itself around the bracelet. The bracelet exploded, sending chunks of metal at the people in the room.
Beastboy waved his hand in front of Raven's face. She didn't blink or say anything. "Hello-o? Anyone in there besides Intelligence and Timid?"
Suddenly, Raven groaned and rubbed her head. "My cranium is throbbing," She announced. "I am informed of where I am located, thank you, you do not need to enlighten me."
The Titans blinked.
"Um, Intelligence, can you make Raven speak normal?" Beastboy said hesitantly, not sure if he could still talk to Intelligence like that.
"Normally," Raven corrected him. "No, I am powerless to do so. For the reason that I am the solitary sentiment in Raven's mentality, only I may verbalize and I cannot articulate 'normally'."
"But what about Timid?" Robin asked.
"She is not considered to be in Raven's psyche because she is moreover in the exterior of her astuteness," Raven nodded towards Timid, who was cowering in a corner.
"Quick, wish yourself back in," Beastboy shoved the Alucinor Mortis in the hands of Happy. "Maybe she can speak like a human again if you do."
"Alright!" Happy giggled. "I can't wait! Whee!" She took the stone and twirled around with it, eventually twirling herself into a pink mist and shooting herself into the chakra.
Raven suddenly giggled. "Life is wonderful, isn't it?" She flew upwards and did a twirl. "Simply wondrous."
They all sweat dropped.
Suddenly, Raven made a choking noise and fell back down. Cyborg managed to catch her and placed her back onto the bed. A gray mist shot out of Raven's chakra and slammed into Timid with such a force that Timid fell over. When Timid stood up again, her outfit wasn't changed at all, but they could all tell she was solidified.
Robin looked at Raven. "Is she okay?"
Raven suddenly sat up, her eyes panicked. "It's a trap," She said in a choked whisper. "Go—go…run…" Her violet eyes swam with anxiety and fear. Strong, unnatural winds swirled into the room. Raven's cloak flew up and flapped around her body. For the first time, the Titans noticed the glowing red metal band on her ankles, hidden cleverly under the folds of her shoes. Raven rose slowly into the air, the bands glowing brighter and brighter. Her hair turned brighter, as well, turning red. An extra pair of eyes materialized under her first pair, glowing a harsh red. Sarcasm, Gross, Timid, and Jealously began the same transformation. The other emotions, Terra, and the Titans backed away slowly. In front of them now stood five clones of Rage. The clones rose into the air in a circle, spinning faster and faster. In the middle of the swirl of red, a black void opened. Brawny winds gusted into the room, knocking over the bed and other articles of furniture. A strand of silver white hair escaped out of the void, then another. A face peered over the edge of the void, raising itself. The face had long, white hair and four glowing yellow eyes and a large nose and evilly grinning teeth that were sharper than any elephant's tusks. The face was bright red, with two pointed ears worthy of Beastboy.
"Trigon," Cyborg said slowly.
His chest then started emerging gradually, but the Titans wasted no time waiting for the rest of him to come out. Cyborg fired his cannon and Starfire hurled starbolts at Trigon. Terra pelted rocks from outside, Robin punched, kicked, and threw explosive disks, and Beastboy turned into various animals and attacked. Nothing affected him. With a mighty roar, two muscled arms shot out of the void and knocked them all back in one blow.
Beastboy sat up, rubbing his head. He caught sight of the red amulet swinging on a leather thong around Trigon's neck. A ruby, Beastboy thought. Then the sun suddenly shone on it as Trigon dodged a blow from Robin. On the part where the sunlight struck, Beastboy saw a swish of pink and yellow.
(Flashback)
Aqualad slammed his fists onto the edge of the scarlet wall. "We HAVE to get out!" He turned around and stared at the others fiercely. "Otherwise, Speedy, Robin, and Wildebeest will get stuck in here, too! We have to help them!"
"I'm more just worried about us getting out first before we think about rescuing them," Cyborg commented. He had one of his hands against the wall, trying to figure out a weak spot to blast with his cannon. Suddenly, his cannon arm disappeared, which meant that the Master of Games was currently using it. It reappeared after a few seconds.
"Maybe if we—" Beastboy started to say, but right then, Speedy and Wildebeest fell from somewhere above them. They stood up, confused.
"Welcome to the Trapped in a Jewel Club," Beastboy offered a hand to Speedy. Wildebeest had already gotten up.
"What the…" Speedy looked around him, observing the rich red walls made out of ruby. If he squinted enough at the walls, he could see Robin fighting.
"We should try yelling for help," Hot Spot grunted, looking at Robin. Robin was confused, unsure of what was happening. "Then maybe he'll know we're in here, in case he's too stupid to figure it out."
"Robin's a self-centered, stuck up snothead," Gizmo muttered angrily. The others silently agreed, but none of them were about to say so aloud.
Outside, Robin could hear tinny voices coming from the jewel. When a light shone on the jewel, he could see faces: Cyborg's, Hot Spot's, and Beastboy's…
(End Flashback)
What had Raven said? It was a trap? Beastboy narrowed his eyes. Timid, Jealousy, Sarcasm, and Gross had all turned into Rages. Why not Love and Brave, since Happy and Intelligence were in Raven's mind? How did they get into Trigon's amulet, then?
"DUDE, MOVE!" Cyborg yelled to Beastboy as two jets of yellow shot from Trigon's eyes at him. Beastboy turned into a cheetah and leapt to the left. Then, acting on a hunch, he swiped at Trigon's amulet. The changeling's claws bounced right off, leaving no scratch, but he could've sworn he saw Happy's face inside of the amulet.
Beastboy could practically feel the gears grinding in his head. What did Timid, Jealousy, Sarcasm, and Gross have in common? Suddenly, it hit him. Jealousy and Sarcasm were negative emotions, and Gross had a negative influence on others. Timid was easily convinced to do anything and saw the world in a pessimistic way. Love, Brave, and Happy were positive emotions, with optimistic influences. Intelligence was too smart to be overcome with Rage. Therefore, if Rage had been solidified, she could easily overcome the negative emotions and unleash Trigon, which was happening right now. When the Titans thought they had been returning Intelligence and Happy into Raven's mind, they were really just handing them over to Trigon's amulet, which had somehow resided in Raven's chakra, probably through the metal bracelets. The one on her wrist was just a decoy. And now Happy and Intelligence were in the amulet, trapped. When Raven had apparently spoken (pretending to be Intelligence and Happy), it had really been Trigon, using her voice through the amulet.
"Hey, you guys!" Beastboy yelled to the others. "Aim for the shiny jewel!"
Shiny jewel? Robin thought. How…scientific. Nevertheless, Robin ran up to Trigon and gave a flying kick at the amulet. Nothing happened. Trigon's legs were now almost completely out. Cyborg blasted his cannon, Starfire fired starbolts, Terra threw rocks, and Beastboy swiped at it with various animal body parts. The amulet gained nothing more than a scratch, as opposed to the Titans, who were gaining more and more injuries as Trigon swept his massive arms. Terra hopped on a rock and raised her hands, but before she could strike, Trigon punched her and she flew into the wall, knocking it down. The blond slumped on the floor, unmoving.
"Terra!" Beastboy stopped fighting and ran over to her. She had several cuts, as all the Titans now did, but the recent slam into the wall had given her a broken arm and leg, as well. She groaned.
"Beastboy…" Her eyes fluttered open. "I…can't move…"
Beastboy looked around wildly, but the other Titans were still fighting. He spotted Love, hovering in a corner with the Alucinor Mortis in her hands. He waved her over. "Love—can you look after Terra?"
Love nodded. "I can heal her. Here, take this—" She thrust the stone into his hands. "Try to shoot at the amulet with it."
"I can do that?" Beastboy blinked.
Love nodded again. "You have to say Raven's words, though: Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."
"Thanks, Love!" Beastboy shot off, clutching the stone. He aimed it at the amulet and shouted, "AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!"
A thin beam of sparkling light blue energy shot out of the Alucinor Mortis, reflecting in the sun as if it were a piece of clear glass. Its aim was true and it hit the amulet, slicing it cleanly in half at the same moment that Trigon completely left the void. Three gusts of air came from inside: a yellow one, a pink one, and a blue one. They zoomed towards what used to be Raven's body and what was now Rage, but the other Rages blocked them.
Trigon roared, stomping his massive feet. His head was sticking out of the roof. The floor broke beneath him and he fell to the first floor. However, Trigon was so large that his chest and arms were still above the second floor. He swept his arms around, knocking over the other Titans.
Robin had a sudden inspiration. He quickly fished out two bird-a-rangs from his pocket and aimed very carefully. The boy wonder then threw them at Raven/Rage's ankle. They sliced cleanly through the metal bracelets, which fell with a clatter to the floor. They had made slight paper cuts in Raven's ankle, but she was otherwise uninjured. Robin caught the bird-a-rangs.
They all watched as Raven's red eyes disappeared with a shrill scream, replaced by two violet ones. Her cloak turned blue, along with the rest of her attire. She dropped to the floor gently and a red wisp of smoke shot out from her chakra. The other emotions returned to their normal states, then turned into wisps of smoke, and finally shot into her chakra. Trigon bellowed and writhed, but he eventually turned into a red wisp of smoke and shot into Rage, who, in turn, shot into Raven. Love left, as well.
There was a sudden silence. All around them was destruction from the fight: smashed walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. Nearby houses had been destroyed. The villagers, including King Tawaba and Galtry were all gone, run away somewhere. There were no screeching birds or chattering monkeys—they all been frightened away. Even the nearby river seemed silent.
Beastboy made the first move. He ran to Raven, who was lying on the floor. He shook her gently. "Rae?"
She slowly opened her eyes and raised herself, looking around. Raven groaned. "I really fucked up this time." She rubbed her ankles and grimaced. She then caught sight of Terra, who was still lying derelict in a corner. "Don't tell me she's died again."
Starfire gasped and flew over to Terra to aid her. She was still alive, but unconscious.
"Raven? Are you okay?" Cyborg and Robin approached her, kneeling down.
"I'm fine," Raven said sarcastically. "I just got my mind taken over by the devil and destroyed an African village in the process and got beaten up by a mad criminal. Of course I'm perfectly alright."
"By who?" Beastboy stared at her.
Raven shot him an icy glare. She hadn't forgotten what she had seen in Slade's lair. The glare made Beastboy hide behind Cyborg's hulking figure.
"Slade?" Robin guessed.
"No, Orlando Bloom," Raven rolled her eyes as she got up and flew over to Terra. She placed a hand on Terra's stomach and started to heal her.
"So," Robin said, all business. "Let's go find the villagers and then help them rebuild the village. Then we can go back to Titans Tower and—"
Raven interrupted him. "I'm not going back." She took her hand off Terra and Terra sat up, rubbing her leg.
"WHAT? Of course you're going back!" Beastboy helped Terra stand up and she smiled gratefully at him.
"You can't decide what I do," Raven turned away from Beastboy and Terra. "Here, Starfire, let me heal that cut…"
"Raven," Terra touched her shoulder and Raven twitched. "I know you hate me, but that doesn't mean you have to stop being a Titan. I can just leave. After all, I'm not a Titan."
The other Titans had no way to respond to that. It was true, after all.
"You're not the reason I'm not going to stay," Raven moved on to heal Robin's cuts.
"Who is, then, friend Raven? Oh, do forgive me if it is I!" Starfire anxiously said.
"It's not you, Star. It's not Robin or Cyborg, either." Raven looked at Cyborg. There was nothing to heal on him: all his injuries were to the mechanical parts of his body.
"What'd I do?" Beastboy exclaimed. He calmed down. "Well, whatever it is, I'm sorry!"
Raven ignored him. She whispered her three famous words and all the village huts were engulfed in black energy. They then magically began rebuilding themselves. The others were impressed. They never knew she could do that.
"Have a nice life," Raven made a black void in front of her and flew into it before anyone could stop her. However, Starfire managed to zoom into the void before it closed.
"Damn, she's good at that," Robin muttered, thinking about when Starfire had zoomed into the future.
Feh, there you go. Climax. ;) Next chapter is THE END!! Watch out for the sequal, everyone...
I'm going to upload the first chapter of the sequel at the same time I upload the last chapter. Please review for the sequel, which I think will be called Titans Forever.
I wanted to update this earlier, but the site was down. :/ Over 115 reviews, yay! :) And I am now officially 12. -smiles- And, if any of you happen to know about the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini (who's only 19 -gasp- or he was, last time I checked), do you know if the sequal is out?
Unforgettable--That's right. Don't forget to review for that, too. xD
Silvery-veritas--Really? -touched- Ty! And I thought my description sucked.... I just read this book about a Japanese princess and they talk a lot about yin and yang and how you need both for life to be balanced. It also stated yin was everything feminine, dark, and bad in the world and yang was everything masculine, bright, and good in the world, and I thought that was discrimination or something because of the feminine and masculine stuff...o0;
Mato-ko--Thanks! I'm a Rob/Star supporter and proud, but I think I really suck at describing them. xD Especially Star. But hopefully you'll find this chapter better, even though there wasn't much Rob/Star in it, but in the sequel there is a lot more of it. I promise. I'll even make them kiss. :P
soraoathkeeper--Nope, not late. :D Thankya!
Dark-Bird2--Ooh, a rose! My favorite flower! :) Ty.
Pain and Tears--Alright. And yes, I do. :D Plan to go shopping this weekend for presents...I already got my mom this pair of sapphire earrings to match a sapphire necklace my dad gave her. That's sorta-not-really where I got the idea for Beastboy's necklace, except Beastboy's necklace is a sapphire and a locket and my mom's is just a sapphire surrounded by diamonds, so...yea. xD
IAmImmortal--Lmao. -giggle-
angelzsweet90--Both, I guess. Beastboy's feeling confused, too. Maybe you should talk to him. xD
Reveric Tigeress--Soap opera...Starfire mentions soap operas in this fic, I think. Or maybe it's the sequel. No, it's in this one. 'My life is a soap opera,' says Beastboy, I think. Don't remember the exact quote. In Chapter 4 somewhere, and then Starfire imagines fat ladies with bars of pink soap...yea. :D
Shiquilla--Shequila's pretty.
Regrem Erutaerc--I honestly thought it would take too long and would bore you guys. Maybe I'll add at the end of teh next chapter a description just for those who requested it...-thinks-
dancingirl3--I'll try and read it. ;)
Ijust lazy--Are you insane? o0 That didn't make sense at all.
Amscray--No, I haven't heard of -insert long word here-. xD In the first drafts of the last chapter, I almost made Raven slap him for kissing her, but I cut it out 'cause it was dumbass. xP I hate Beastboy in the comics...so ugly in most of the books. And Star. What's with her outfit, anyway? And what's RL?
mew-xena--I think I might do it in the last chapter, but not this one. Too tired. xD I thought you'd all get bored, reading 23094820394 paragraphs of description.
Zeldagurli-- -eats muffin thoughtfully- I just rewatched the Aftershock episodes yesterday and the day before.... My hate for her has been rekindled. xD She just killed all of her friends...just like that...even when Robin gave her a second chance because of Beastboy. Ungrateful little -beep-.
dissappear--Thanks! :) I once read a fanfiction that was GREAT called Teen Titans: Shadows (I think...not sure, but it's in my favorite stories) and it made me cry. It really did. Like, two tears, but still--it ROCKED. You should try it.
lil-c-girl2218--No, I just thought BB and Rae were like Yin and Yang. :)
fourthelement, Antora, Karen, Raniatlw, and warprince2000--thanks! :P
In my reply to dissappear's review, I mentioned a fanfiction called Teen Titans: Shadows. It's really, really good and I think you should all read it. :) It's under my favorite stories. Also, please read the notes at the beginning of this little section, because they're actually there for a reason.
Last chapter coming up next,
Lily
