Chapter Five: Letting Go

Robin came running into the room, and Raven quickly wiped the tears away. "What happened," he asked as he came up behind her. Raven kept staring out the window, "Beast Boy's gone…" Raven pulled her hood over her head and slowly floated out of the room, "I need to be alone."

Beast Boy wandered through the streets in a daze. As much as he wanted to ignore it, Raven's words had left their mark on him. Maybe she was right. Maybe he had taken things too far.

No. Raven never liked Terra, she never once trusted her. In fact, he was the only one who never lost faith. He may have turned his back on her, but deep down he knew she was his friend. Even after she had tried to kill them, a small part of him still believed she was on their side. In her last moments, Terra had proved herself more powerful than any of the other Titans.

She had come to them an unstable drifter, and she left them a master of her powers, and more importantly, a hero, and a friend.

He was starting to feel a little better, but he still wasn't ready to go home. He changed back into a hawk and flew to the cave where Terra's figure was forever frozen in stone.

Beast Boy stood in front of his friend and stared up into her lifeless eyes. He smiled slightly as he spoke, "I keep thinking I'm gonna wake up any second and find out this was all a dream. But it gets more real every day. The worst part is, you're still in there. I know you are…and we're still looking for a way to bring you back. Raven said I need to let go, but I don't think I can do that. It was easy for her, but it always is. She's never been an emotional person. It's like she wants me to forget you…but that's not gonna happen…ever."

He continued to stare up at his friend. The last time he was in this cave it tore him apart, but now, he felt an overwhelming sense of calm. Terra was gone, at least for the moment, but Beast Boy took comfort knowing that she would be back some day.

He gave one last goodbye and walked out into the evening air. It was getting late, but Beast Boy was in no hurry to get home. He figured Raven was still waiting to lecture him.

Raven sat on her bed in silence. She just didn't know how to reach him. He was unpredictable. Most of the time he wouldn't leave her lone, but the past few days he couldn't be bothered. She was worried about him. He had cried himself to sleep every night since Terra…"Don't say it," she whispered quietly. Raven rested her head in her hands, "Why do I care so much?"

Life had been a lot different after losing Terra. Robin was far more tense than usual, and even Starfire wasn't smiling nearly as much. Cyborg seemed to be back to normal, but Raven assumed he was just covering it up. Then there was Beast Boy. Everyone knew he was going to be devastated, but no one could have predicted this. Raven could count the number of times Beast Boy had left his room on one hand. It just wasn't normal.

Beast Boy walked slowly through downtown, taking in every moment of peace. He looked the other way as he passed by the hospital. He never liked that place, not after last time. He nearly lost one of his best friends there, and just looking at the building reminded him of all the pain he and his friends went through.

Beast Boy couldn't help but cry in this situation. He stared blankly at Raven's lifeless form lying in the hospital bed. He squeezed her hand gently, "Don't leave me…" As he sat there crying, he felt the life returning to her cold hands. She opened her eyes slightly and whispered, "I won't." Beast Boy's eyes shot wide open; Raven was awake.

"Not now Beast Boy," he thought. He hurried past the hospital hoping to once again block out the horrible memories.

Raven opened her eyes and looked around her room. It was her first night home from the hospital, and she felt so alone. But, as she sat in the darkness, she started to feel something. Someone was inside her room. She looked down and saw Beast Boy curled up on the floor. A slight smile forced its way across Raven's face. Any other night, she would have been furious, but not tonight. Tonight, she actually found comfort knowing that Beast Boy was there. As much as it pained her to admit it, she needed the company.

Raven's eyes shot open, and she looked around her room frantically. It was still early. The others wouldn't be up for at least a few hours. "Beast Boy," She thought, "Did he ever come back?" As she sat in the darkness, she caught the familiar sound of Beast Boy's radio.

"You can hold me once. You can hold me twice. Even better if the stars are good tonight. You can hold me, be my one and only. This is the reply to the letter you wrote me…"

She smiled as the sound drifted through the wall; Beast Boy was singing along.

The next morning, Raven walked into the living room and was greeted with a familiar smile.

"Beast Boy!"

Beast Boy smiled as he shoved a plate of pancakes in her face, "Hope you're hungry."

Raven sat down at the table, "What happened to you?"

Beast Boy turned back and continued making breakfast, "I thought about what you said last night. There is no way I'm ever gonna forget her, but there's no point in crying about it every day. We're gonna bring her back right? I finally realized that last night, there's no need to cry, cause Terra's not gone."

Raven was shocked. Had that actually come from Beast Boy's brain? Less than twenty-four hours ago, nothing could reach him. Now, it seemed like something in his mind clicked, and he was actually thinking. "Beast Boy, that's…I…" Beast Boy turned around, "What?" Raven was speechless; she had actually gotten through to him. She looked down at the floor and smiled to herself, "Nothing." Beast Boy shrugged and went back to cooking pancakes.

Seconds later, Cyborg walked into the room, "Who's ready for another no tofu break…oh…uh, hey BB…" Beast Boy grinned and handed him a plate, "Pancakes!" Cyborg frowned as he took the plate, "Thanks." He slumped down next to Raven. "I was just starting to remember the taste of real bacon…"

Robin walked into the room yawning, "So Cyborg, what are we having today? Ham, sausage?" Cyborg held up his fork, "Pancakes…" Robin looked over to see his green friend standing by the stove, "Beast Boy…" Beast Boy shoved a plate at him, "Eat up!"

The doors slid open one last time as Starfire floated into the room. When she saw Beast Boy she rushed over and nearly squeezed the life out of him, "Friend Beast Boy, it is nice to see you are well again!"

Beast Boy struggled to escape her hold, "Thanks, Star. You can let go now…" Starfire released him, and she gratefully accepted a heaping plate of pancakes.

Robin looked up from his plate, "So Beast Boy, why the sudden change?"

Beast Boy shrugged, "Long story." He grabbed a plate for himself and joined his friends at the table.

I know this kinda sounds like an ending, but it's not, I've got a much better idea planned, I just need some time to figure out how to continue from here.
