Aurora Maryte: thanks for the review...terra will be back, just not at all like you'd expect
CanadianKittyN: Glad ya liked it, hope the next chapters live up to expectations
ravenfairie: hopefully this chapters as "good" as the last two...but i dont think this could get published (besides, i dont own the teen titans...just like everyone else on this site :) )
Laura: yeah more is still on the way...and BB and Raven all the way. I was BB/Terra until Aftershock, then I looked back at old episodes and saw the truth...
Hostess: glad ya liked it
Regrem Erutaerc: yeah chapter four will be a LOT more BB/Raven...and I know I placed the one flash back out of order. I really like that scene and was kinda mad that it came after aftershock, but then again, thi is fan fiction, so a little creative liscense isnt totally horrible...sorry if it bugged ya
Hikari-Moriyaku: glad ya liked it
JMPchick: dont worry im looking at a total of8 chapters
Steve-Racer: I agree, that's the whole point of my story, that Beast Boy finally realizes his true feelings for Raven (But that's not til the end...so you shouldnt know that part yet...lol)
So without delay...chapter three
Chapter Three: Blorthog
The next morning, Starfire charged into the living room screaming, "Happy Blorthog!" A bright smile stretched across her face, and it seemed like nothing on earth could wipe it away; until she saw Beast Boy. He had been up for nearly two hours, and he hadn't moved from his spot since. Starfire floated over to him cautiously, "Is something the matter Beast Boy?"
"What do you think?" Beast Boy mumbled without bothering to look up at her. Starfire shrunk back a bit, but chanced speaking again, "Today is Blorthog, the feast of friendship. Do you not wish to celebrate?" Beast Boy sighed, "No…"
Starfire slumped over and floated out of the room rejected. She passed by Raven in the hall. "Raven?"
"Not now Starfire," came the usual reply. Starfire floated toward Robin's room, "Surely he will celebrate," She thought. As she was about to knock, the alert sirens went off. Robin's door flew open, and the Boy Wonder nearly trampled Starfire on his way out of the room.
Robin held out his hand and helped her up, "Sorry about that Star."
The two of them headed for the living room where the other Titans were waiting. Cyborg turned to Robin as he walked in, "Bank robbery. Probably the HIVE trio again."
Robin looked around the room, "Where's Beast Boy?"
Cyborg shrugged, "I think he already left…"
Robin looked surprised, "On his own...?"
Starfire stepped in and urged her friends toward the door, "Then we too must go. Beast Boy will need our help!"
Robin nodded and the four remaining Titans rushed out of the Tower and headed for the crime scene.
Mammoth charged forward and before he had a chance to react, Beast Boy had turned into a giant T-Rex. He swung his massive tail and caught Mammoth mid stride. He flew through the air and crashed through the front wall of the bank. Beast Boy lunged forward to strike again just as Gizmo rose up on his four mechanical legs.
The tiny villain leapt at Beast Boy and wrapped the metal limbs around the dinosaur's mouth. Beast Boy flailed his head around violently, and Gizmo lost his grip. Beast Boy flung him high into the sky and morphed back to his normal form. Gizmo retracted his legs and pulled out his jet pack.
He threw himself into a nose dive toward Beast Boy who looked up prepared to strike. While his eyes were on Gizmo, Mammoth crawled out of the rubble and ran forward. He swung a massive fist and slammed into the side of Beast Boy's head. Beast Boy was knocked back stunned. He fell to the ground and lay motionless for a moment. Gizmo landed next to him and pinned Beast Boy to the ground with his long metal legs.
Beast Boy opened his eyes ad glared at Gizmo. Hatred boiled inside of him. "It's all your fault! Slade had you work for him, but you couldn't make the cut! That's why he went after Terra. Because you weren't good enough!"
He changed into a gorilla and unleashed a ferocious roar. He wrapped his large hands around Gizmo's legs and pulled the tiny kid off of him. Beast Boy stood up, still holding onto Gizmo. He swung him against the wall repeatedly.
Gizmo struck the wall three times before his mechanical legs snapped in two. He landed on the ground hard. The first blow had left him unconscious. Beast Boy glared at Gizmo's helpless form. He prepared to strike again just as Mammoth jumped in and wrapped his large arms around Beast Boy's animal form.
Beast Boy reached back with a giant gorilla hand and grabbed Mammoth's head. He yanked Mammoth off his back and slammed him onto the ground. Beast Boy roared viciously as he slammed his fists down hard on Mammoth's face, unaware that the other Titan's had arrived on the scene.
They stared at Best Boy in utter shock. Gizmo and Mammoth were unconscious and badly beaten. Robin stepped forward nervously, "Beast Boy," he said, choosing his words carefully, "is everything...ok?" Beast Boy grunted and returned to his normal form and sat down on the ground to catch his breath.
Cyborg spoke up, "Where's Jinx?"
Beast Boy shrugged, "She wasn't with them."
Raven stood off to the side watching Beast Boy silently. Was he going to be ok? Losing Terra had been much harder on Beast Boy than she expected, and now he had taken it out on someone else. Although she would never say it, she was worried about him. She looked over at Mammoth and Gizmo who were still unconscious.
Cyborg walked up to Beast Boy and gave him a friendly slap on the back, "Alright! Beast Boy laid a smack down!"
Beast Boy shrugged it off as he stood up and made his way over to the T-Car. Robin turned to Cyborg, "Hey Cy, can you give me a hand?" Robin picked Gizmo up and slung him over his shoulder. Cyborg grunted as he picked up Mammoth. They walked over to the T-Car and put the pair inside. Cyborg took a sideways glance at Robin, "You seem a little on edge man."
Robin ignored the comment as he hopped on his motorcycle, "I assume you'll take care of those two?" Cyborg shrugged, "Always do."
Cyborg climbed into the T-Car and looked at Beast Boy, "You ok man?"
Beast Boy nodded, "I'm fine."
"If you say so."
Cyborg and Beast Boy turned the unconscious criminals over to the authorities then returned to the Tower.
Back at the tower, it seemed that Starfire was still intent on celebrating Blorthog.
"Now is the time that we will share a pizza, yes?"
Robin smiled, "Sure, Star."
Starfire smiled brightly "Wonderful!"
Raven smiled to herself. Starfire's energetic attitude had a way of making people happy.
Beast Boy sat on the couch staring off into space.
Cyborg dropped down next to him, "Yo BB?"
Beast Boy blinked and turned to look at his friend, "Huh?"
Cyborg grinned, "Pizza!"
Beast Boy shrugged, "Yeah, sure."
"Alright!" Cyborg grabbed Beast Boy and yanked him off the couch.
Together, the five Titans left the Tower and headed out to fill their stomachs.
Sitting with her friends gathered around the largest cheese pizza they could find, Starfire held up her drink, and smiled brightly, "Happy Blorthog friends!" Raven nodded, appearing indifferent as always. Cyborg and Robin mumbled inaudibly around a mouthful of pizza. Beast Boy stared blankly ahead ignoring the pizza before him.
Starfire poked her green friend gently, "Beast Boy, why do you not eat?"
He mumbled something and picked up his pizza. He half heartedly took a bite without bothering to look at his friend. Starfire smiled slightly. At least he was eating.
Though it was meant as a celebration, the Titans ate in silence. Robin and Cyborg were not going to allow anything to interrupt their feeding frenzy, and Starfire merely smiled, happy to be in the company of her friends. Raven was the only one who noticed Beast Boy stone faced and unmoving. It seemed his mood was only getting worse as the days went by. Raven shook her head, "This is not healthy," she thought.
The rest of the meal passed by uneventfully. Afterwards, the Titans returned to the Tower, and Beast Boy went back to his room, but not before Starfire could send him off with one last "Happy Blorthog."
Well, chapter three is in the bag, and chapter four is on the way. It's called "Open Wounds" and it's going to have a major focus on BB and Raven, and it will probly be shorter than previous chapters. As always, point out the flaws...i'm lookin to better my writing with this story so all criticism is welcome
