Chapter Nine: A Little Witchcraft
"Silver!" Starfire exclaimed, flying over to embrace her friend. Silver laughed.
"Hey Star."
"Oh we have worried our balongorfnians off over you!"
"Um... that's.. flattering Star. I'm back though, it's good to see you both," he said with a nod in Beast Boy's direction.
"Good to have you back man," Beast Boy said, still contemplating Silver's words. "All I really want is Terra back." "That can be arranged." What did he mean by that?
Robin and Cyborg appeared at the door, having already met the three survivors. They went down to the main room to talk. Once they were all together, Robin spoke, "What happened?" And they told it all, the running and the meeting the seraph. About how he and Raven had fought, until he froze them in time. Then how he allowed them to speak, and their explanation (though they left out what the actual explanation was,) had made him remember his past. They told how he turned good again, restoring and balancing Silver, and then floated back to heaven. When they were done, most everyone was speechless. Finally Robin found his voice.
"So.. what did you tell this guy that made him stop fighting you?"
Raven answered, "We told him why we wanted to save Silver."
"Because he's your fr- wait a second," he grinned knowingly, realizing the truth. "You told him you loved him, didn't you two?" Raven blushed, and looked down, an annoyed look upon her face. Stupid bird boy....
"Oh joyous!" Starfire yelled, "We must celebrate this love of-" She stopped talking suddenly, and sat down blushing. Because of Silver's return, she had temporarily forgotten her talk with Robin. Raven was glad she shut up. By now Cyborg and Beast Boy knew as well, but said nothing, well, Beast Boy kinda already knew. Foxfire, who had said nothing the whole time, stayed silent. She couldn't tell Silver, but she loved him. Loved him loved him, not just as the great friends they were. And to see him with Raven hurt her... a lot.
No one said anymore on the subject. After answering a few more questions about the ordeal... ok after talking the whole night, everyone finally went to bed at 11:30. Beast Boy left first, wanting to catch Silver in the hall and ask him about earlier, about Terra. Foxfire said goodnight, hugged most everybody, and went to her temporary room. Cyborg said good night, and shut down in his room, and Robin left quietly, wanting to talk to Star in the hallway. That left Raven and Silver, after Starfire left as well.
"Thankyou Raven, for coming to get me," Silver said. Raven gave a half smile.
"It was no trouble." Then, the happiness that had been waiting to burst since she saw him alive was let loose. She practically jumped on him, hugging him and holding him, laughing the whole time. Silver laughed along with her, so glad to be back. No one had asked him yet about his experiences in the realm of the dead.
Finally they quieted. "I love you Raven," Silver whispered in the girl's ear.
"I love you too," She whispered back, leaning forward. They kissed, the kiss that may as well have been their first, because it felt just as fresh and felt just as good.
And from shadows of the doorway, Foxfire stood and cried silently, then left again, back to her room.
"Goodnight Raven," Silver said, kissing her quickly one more time.
"Goodnight Silver." She gave him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek, and left for her room. That left Silver alone to trudge up the stairs and down hallways. He was about to enter his room when he saw Beast Boy approach from his left. He turned to face him.
"Hey, ah, Silver," Beast Boy said.
"Yeah?"
"What you said earlier... about, you know, 'That can be arranged' what did you mean?"
"Ah, that. Well we're going to get her back for you."
"Really?" Beast Boy asked. "You would really do that for me? How can you do it?"
"Yes, yes we would, and," Silver said with a grin, "With a little witchcraft." He said no more and went to his room, falling asleep quickly. Beast Boy went to his room as well, but of course got no sleep, being so excited. Terra might really come back, if they can pull it off! TERRA!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "YEAH!!!!!!" He cried outloud, earning him a "SHUT UP!!!!" From Silver down the hall.
XXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, Starfire had met up with Robin in the hallway. "Hello Robin," she said blushing slightly. She had guessed what he wanted to see her about.
"Hey Star," he said, strangely he was not nervous.
"What is it Robin?" She asked, trying to act casual.
"I just wanted to tell you something. Star, if you ever need to tell me anything, anything at all, I'm here for you."
"Thankyou Robin, that means a lot. Um.. did you have anything in mind you wanted to hear?"
"Ah.. about what you said earlier.." Robin had driven himself crazy making sure the meaning was what he thought it was. "What did you mean by that?"
"By what Robin?" Starfire was pretending not to know what he was talking about.
"Ah.. about the overcoming your fear if you were to tell me who you loved..."
"Oh that." Neither said anything for a minute. "Well..."
"It's ok Starfire, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Goodnight," he made a move to head for his room.
"Robin wait!" Star said quickly. "I need to tell you something." Robin looked at her, waiting for her to speak again. "I love you," and she left.
"She... she.... she.... she.....she.... loves me?"
XXXXXXXXXX
BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP
"DAMN ALARM CLOCK!" The clock exploded as Silver got out of bed. He crossed his room and went into the bathroom, undressing. He turned the water on and got into the shower.
Meanwhile Raven woke as well, and went down to the kitchen to prepare tea for Silver and herself. She was surprised to fine Foxfire there, making... tea.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked, her voice sounding irritated.
"Making tea," Foxfire said innocently. Oh my god. There is no fucking way she's gonna start this. Raven thought. This is the oldest trick in the book, COPY THE ONE HE LOVES TO GET HIM TO LOVE HER!!!!!!!! NOT GONNA HAPPEN RED HEAD!!!! The tea exploded. It just about scared Fox to death. She recovered and glared at Raven.
"Wasn't me." Raven said in her usual mono-tone voice. Tch, too bad it was me. Raven thought, gathering the materials needed to prepare tea. Foxfire said nothing and sat down on the couch. She turned on the tv and began flipping through channels. Silver came down shortly, and he and Raven had their tea.

Raven, Silver, and Beast Boy stood on the outside of a cave, motionless. They stared into the black entrance. Silver raised his hand, creating a ball of illuminating energy, and led the way. The trio was on a quest to restore Terra. Raven had recently learned the final skills that she needed to know to change Terra back from stone. It was three days since Silver was restored himself.
Beast Boy and Raven followed behind Silver. "You sure this is gonna work?" Beast Boy asked, for about the umpteenth and a half time.
"Positive.." Raven said, annoyed.
"Just checking," Beast Boy said.
"Shut up we're here," Silver said, unexpectedly jumping up the the platform of rock Terra was on. His jump, just a blur, was too fast for anyone to see. Beast Boy in the form of a hawk and Raven flew up to the platform as well.
The stone image of Terra was scaringly similar to the seraph, but only Raven recognized this fact. It stood on a little outcropping of rock, outstrechting over a hundred foot drop to bubbly looking rock. It was once molten lava, until Terra did her work. They were in a giant cave, a few hundred feet across, with a jagged circular ceiling. Light shown from holes far above, so they could all see the statue very clearly.
Beast Boy looked at Raven, and she nodded, walking forward. When she was only a foot or so away from Terra, she stopped, and sat down on the stone. She spread out various strange ingredients that she had gathered over the past few days, and began reciting some incantation in a strange language. Slowly she rose into the air, and the statue form of Terra started to glow, and the stone slowly melted away, like it was just the casing. Then, for a brief second, Terra stood before them, then collapsed, but was caught by Raven.
"Where.. am I?" Terra asked.
"It's us Terra, you're back," Beast Boy said, taking a step forward.
"Who are you?" Terra asked.
Terra, listen. Raven said telepathically. We are your friends. You were turned to stone, when you saved us all. We've changed you back. You have temporarily lost your memory, but in time, it will return.
"Who's Terra?" Terra asked.
"What is wrong with her?" Beast Boy asked worried, and speaking quickly.
"She has lost her memory, but it will return soon," Raven explained. Beast Boy was slightly less tense upon hearing the second fact.
"Get away, I don't know you!" Terra shouted turning to run. That's when her eyes locked with Beast Boy's, and she felt alright. Comfortable. She stopped. "Take me home?" she asked.
"Sure," Raven answered. I kinda think I know these guys, except him, Terra thought, refering to Silver, he's all dark, he keeps in the shadows and he hasn't said a word. I wonder what's up with him. Suddenly Raven cut into Terra's thoughts, That's... just him. She said, explaining. Oh.
XXXXXXXXXX
The four titans got to the tower, and explained everything to the rest of the titans. When this all began, Silver slipped away unnoticed. In a blur he was outside Foxfire's room. He pushed the door open as quietly as he had been the entire time, and entered at the same noise level. Fox didn't noticed until Silver slammed the electric sliding door shut.
"Ah!" she screamed. "Silver.. damn you.. did you have to do that?"
"Yes."
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." A blank look from Silver. "You're mean, I don't want to talk to you." A blank look. "Damn it let's talk," Foxfire said in frustration.
"What's wrong Fox?"
"Oh nothing... nothing... nothing...." She said plastering on a fake look of joy.
"Right," Silver left. Oh nothing's wrong... I'm just watching you and Raven have a great time together and I'm left out of it all.... oh that's nothing.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Starfire?" Robin asked her from where she sat at the couch.
"Yes friend?" she asked, pretending to not know what he was going to say.
"I love... you too Starfire." Star was speechless.
"You.. you love me?" she asked.
"Yes Star, I have for a really...well a really long time. I have always loved you Starfire."
"Um.. do you want to go on.. a date?" Star asked, making sure she got the right Earth word. Robin smiled.
"I'd love to, Star."
There you go! Enjoy! Chapter Ten whenever.
