A/N: Ah, Yes my friends. Yet another chapter of Keeping Secrets. Decided to type this up before I could check my reviews (mom took internet for the moment -.-) So I will respond to reviewers at the end this time. Thanks for reading guys! On with the story:
In this chapter of Keeping Secrets: Beast Boy and Raven face the facts and have to go back to Jump City for the sake of the team. Meanwhile, Starfire tries to convince Robin to come back to Titans tower.
Warning: I do some Terra bashing in this! I hate her so much. Bitch...XD
-
Raven laid down the phone quietly. How could this have happened? The Titans were supposed to be together forever…not just break apart so easily.
"Rae, what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked, wrapping his arms around her.
She sighed and looked over at him. "We've got to go back to Jump City…"
Beast Boy practically fell out of the bed in shock. "What! We can't go back! No! I-I'll get thrown in jail a-and…NO!"
Raven put her hands on his shoulders firmly. "Beast Boy. Calm down, please. The Team needs our help badly. Besides…they found out Slade was behind all of this. We won't be charged for anything."
The scared look on his face was replaced with shock again. "What? How long have you known this?"
Raven looked down at the bed. "Well….since Star showed up. But I didn't want to leave here. I love staying here with you…" Her hands slid off his shoulders and began to twist the blanket.
"Raven….You could've just told me. I would've said to say here too…" He put his hands over hers as she kept twisting the blanket.
"Yeah. But look what happened. Now the team is probably lost forever because of my selfishness…" She looked up at him, the sadness flickering through her eyes.
"Is it that bad?" He ran a hand through his green hair.
Raven let out a long sigh. "Robin ran off and is nowhere to be found, Cyborg has just given up hope, and Starfire is just an emotional wreck. Yeah, it's that bad."
"Oh…Well, you better go get plane tickets if we're going to be in Jump City tomorrow." He pulled her into a deep kiss and then watched as she gathered her clothes and walked out the door.
"I knew this would have to end sometime…" He whispered, looking up at the ceiling.
Raven sighed and sat down at the computer chair in her robe. This would be the last of their money. She typed in a few things and found tickets for a flight to Jump City leaving tomorrow at ten a.m. It hurt her to think that they were leaving their life behind like this. Just so quickly giving up everything they had established here.
Suddenly, a light snow fall began to envelop the whole city. The snowflakes looked like frozen dust, swirling through the sky. People actually took a second or two or so to look up at the mezmorizing snow fall, then continued on with their journeys.
-Gotham City-
Robin looked down at Starfire and let out a small smile.
"You always were the one to catch me.." She whispered.
He tilted his head slightly. "What do you mean?"
"You're always there to talk to me, to catch me during battles and also just to…care for me when no one else did." Her delicate hand stroked his cheek as she said this.
"Yeah, I guess so…" His face was just inches from hers.
'Oh, how I wish to close this gap…' He thought to himself.
"But Robin…why did you leave the Titans? What happened to the Robin that wouldn't let Slade win for any object in the world?" Her eyes narrowed as she looked into his hazel brown eyes.
"It's just…when you left, I gave up hope. I figured you were never coming back…you mean the world to me you know…" His voice became a sweet whisper.
Starfire let a large smile grace her lips as he said this. "I believe now would be the proper time to do the kissing?"
He let out a small laugh and nodded. He quickly and happily closed the gap between them, running his hand through her silky hair. Her lips felt so gentle against his. He couldn't belive that he finally had her in his arms without interruption.
-NYC-
The suitcase gave a loud click as Raven slammed it shut. She let out a sigh and sat on the bulky luggage. Her mind began to wander to how they would greet her and beast boy when they returned.
-Scenario 1-
Raven and Beast Boy carefully walked into the tower to find everything in shambles. Maybe all hope was lost. Raven looked to Beast Boy, he was looking at the ground, depressed that everything was lost so fast.
-Scenario 2-
Beast Boy slid open the door quietly to find Robin, Cyborg and Starfire sitting on the couch.
"So, traitors. You decided to FINALLY come back, huh?" Robin said, anger wavering in his tone of voice.
"All because of you, our team fell apart and now the city is a wreck! Thanks alot!" Cyborg shouted, chucking furniture at them.
-Scenario 3-
Raven and Beast Boy opened the door and screamed as everyone shouted 'Surprise!'.
"What's going on here?" Beast Boy asked.
"We've got a present for you B.B! Terra is alive again!" Cyborg shouted, blowing a party horn in his face.
Raven's mouth dropped open. "What!"
Terra appears in a skimpy bikini. "Oh Beast Boy! I'm so happy to see you again! Go ahead, kiss my brains out while Raven blows up the tower!"
Raven grew an additional set of eyes and pulled out a machine gun. "HE'S MINE BITCH!"
Raven began to mercilessly shoot Terra into little bits with the machine gun. Suddenly, Jason appeared and poured Dr.Pepper all over Terra's dead body. It made a loud fizzing noise and then he regretted waisting his precious drink on such a worthless girl.
After Terra was good and dead, everyone began laughing and sat down for tea and biscuts.
-End Scenarios-
An evil grin appeared on Raven's face at the last scenario. If only she had a machine gun...
"You ready?" Beast Boy asked, smiling at her.
Raven jumped up slightly at his speaking. "What? Oh yeah, I'm packed. Ready to go?"
He nodded and they looked around at the apartment one last time.
"I'm really gonna miss this apartment...so many good memories..." Beast Boy said with a sigh.
Raven smiled slightly. "Yeah, you mean you finally getting to see me naked?"
A huge grin spread across the changeling's face. "Hell yeah! Do you know how nice of an ass you have?"
Raven elbowed him hard in the stomach and he fell over.
"Owww...that hurts!" He said, gripping his stomach on the floor.
"You'll live." Raven stated simply, opening the door.
-At The Airport-
Raven handed the cheery looking stuardess her ticket and walked onto the plane, her head bowed slightly. She hated the fact they were returning to their old lives and had no idea what if they would be welcomed with open arms, or to be left outside in the cold.
Beast Boy took his seat next to Raven and looked over at her. A million thoughts ran through his head as he looked at her pale, delicate face. "Raven..."
She looked over at him, gripping his hand. "You don't need to thank me."
He smiled. "Thanks anyways...you didn't have to go through all of this with me, but you chose to anyways..."
She sighed and looked into his eyes. "I know, but there was a part of me that wanted to help you. When I found you in that bathtub, I was willing to do almost anything to get that sad look off your face..."
He pulled her into a deep kiss until the 'seatbelts on' light flashed red. They pulled apart and fastened their seatbelts tightly.
Beast Boy grinned as a couple thoughts creeped into his head. "Hey...you wanna join the mile high club?"
Raven's dark eyes traveled over to him. "Yes. And blow the whole damn plane up. Remeber what happened to your room last night?"
-Flashback-
"NOOO! MR.STUFFYKINS!" Beast Boy screamed, clinging to the remains of a stuffed, orange cat.
Raven raised an eyebrow. "Hell. Be lucky I destoyed Mr.Stuffykins and not you."
-End Flashback-
Beast Boy bit his lip, thinking of his stuffed cat. "Right...sorry..."
Raven rolled her eyes and patted his hand. "Mr.stuffykins is in a better place now..."
With that, the captian made an announcement that the plane was taking off and their long flight began.
-Gotham City-
"Robin, please. Come back to the tower with me..." Star begged, taking his hand in hers.
"Star...I can't. It's not even worth it. Raven and Beast Boy are never coming back, we're useless without them." Robin sighed and looked at the ground.
"Robin, what if I had told you that Raven and Beast Boy would be back in the tower tomorrow?" Star knew Raven would yell at her for telling anyone they were coming back, but this was her last resort.
The boy wonder looked over at Star, his eyes slightly wide. "You...you knew where they were?"
Starfire bowed her head and nodded. "Yes. Friend Raven and Beast Boy will be arriving tomorrow."
Robin pulled his hand from Star's. "You knew all this time and you didn't tell me! We could've avoided all of this!"
The alien girl glared at Robin as he began yelling. "Raven was very happy in her surroundnings. I went with her wishes and left her location a secret. Also, Friend Robin, If you had not been so stubborn and jumped to conclusions about our friends, we could have avoided all of this!"
Robin's mouth dropped open slightly. The anger that was rising subsided and now all he felt was guilt. Starfire was right, if he haden't been so quick to judge the pair, they wouldn't have run off.
"Starfire...let's go back to the Tower. We've got to clean up for Raven and Beast Boy's arrival..." He held his hand out for her.
Star let a small smile slip out and took his hand. She flew them back to the giant T-shaped tower.
