Terra woke up in her room, lying on her bed. Every one of the titans was there…except Beast Boy. The titans were sitting on her floor, in a circle talking about Beast Boy and Terra. Terra was awake, but they didn't know, or need to know, that.
"So when is his funeral?" Cyborg asked painfully.
"This weekend," Robin said with sadness.
"I wish I had been nicer to him," Raven said. Beast Boy's death seemed to have opened up a new part of Raven, a more sensitive, caring side. In fact, Raven was on the verge of tears.
"Why did the evil Nevar have to destroy our friend?" Starfire asked. By now, Starfire had tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"At least he is paying the punishment," Robin said.
"Any punishment the cops are going to give him is too good for him," Raven said.
Terra bit her lip to keep from crying out.
Robin buried his face in his hands and ran his fingers through his hair. When Robin looked back up, his face was streaked with tears.
"I'm gonna turn in…I've had enough painful excitement for one day," Cyborg said monotonously.
"I as well wish to go to my room for a while, I am not feeling so good," Starfire said. Her face was very pale and she looked awfully ill.
"I need to meditate," Raven said as she massaged her forehead.
Robin followed the others out of the room, just as Terra broke down and cried. She cried for hours.
Robin was walking down the hallway when he passed Starfire's room. From within the thick metal doors, he could hear her sobbing.
He knocked on her door and she asked him to come in.
When he entered her room, he saw her lying on her bed, her hair a mess, and her eyes red from crying.
Robin just stood there, staring into the eyes of the one he loved so deeply, she stared back, feeling the same way.
Then, Starfire's lower lip trembled as she ran across the room and threw her arms around Robin. He embraced her, and Starfire just sobbed. Robin and Starfire stayed up all night just talking about Beast Boy and what they would say to him if they could see him one last time.
That same night, Terra spent the night with Raven, and they also were talking about Beast Boy. Terra was strong most of the night, but halfway through the night, she broke down and began to cry again.
Then Raven saw how bad Terra felt, and also began to feel sad. Above them in Raven's room, clouds began to take shape. From the clouds, black rain fell. The clouds were Raven's emotions, building up inside her, the rain her tears, washing away her sadness. Terra and Raven looked up, squinting their eyes against the water that pelted them from above. Then they looked at each other and cried some more.
The next day was Friday, the day before Beast Boy's funeral. It was a horrible day. Nobody could seem to get their minds off of Beast Boy. Cyborg had nobody to play video games with, Robin had nobody to take the form of an elephant and help him hit stronger, and Raven had nobody to tell lame jokes to her.
The tower was strangely quiet that day and everyday after Beast Boy's death. It wasn't just quiet, it was downright silent.
