Chapter 7

Beast Boy stared in surprise, unable to believe what was happening. He'd finally gotten Raven to love, and not just love anyone, but love him, and then Terra shows up. Terra! The girl who'd crushed his heart! He reached out to put a hand on Raven's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her, but when he looked over, she was strangely calm. An expression of superiority on her face, she stood up walked over to the recently resurrected blonde. The other Titans stared in shock.

Raven didn't see the Titans' stares, or hear their gasps, or even feel some trace of their emotions. One thing was dominating her senses: her hatred of Terra. Thoughts filled her mind, thoughts of painful torture. (Like my favorite, that involves a cheese-grater. I will say nothing more; for fear that it might be too gruesome for young minds.) She stopped a foot from Terra, looked her straight in the eye, and slapped her across the face.

"That," she stated in an eerily calm voice, "was for betraying us then trying to take the easy way out. Death solves nothing, Terra. There was nothing noble or honorable in sacrificing your life, because you 'died' before you could even begin to repair the damage you caused. Once you're dead, you're dead. And when you're dead, you have no chance of fixing the wrongs you've done. Death is the easy way out, reserved only for those who are too foolish to realize that they are cowards who are too afraid to face the pain involved in making up for your mistakes," she said, her voice not wavering even once. Still calm, she marched back over to the couch put her arm around Beast Boy. Terra stared, looking like she was about to cry. Suddenly, however, her expression changed when she saw Aquafag. He also noticed her.

'Dang! Just the type of girl I was looking for: bulimic, blonde stupid! Go Aqualad! It's your birthday! It's your birthday! YEAH!' Aquafag thought to himself.

'Ooh! Random hot skinny guy! He looks like a whimp…I like him!' Terra thought. Raven, of course, had read these thoughts. Smirking to herself, she hugged Beast Boy tightly. He looked at her, forlorn.

'I just don't understand,' he told her telepathically. 'She just came back and expected us to except her! I…I loved her. But…I don't anymore. Now that I'm around her, I'm sad. I know that we could've had something, but she obviously didn't want it enough to stay with me. I just don't understand,' he told her.

'She's not meant for you,' Raven said, telepathically, of course. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

'But you are,' he said, pulling her close staring into her eyes. A collective cheer rose from the other Titans, except for Terra Aquafag of course. Robin, who had stopped cheering long enough to mutter something about Slade, suddenly noticed the clock.

"Whoa! It's time to get to bed, you guys," he said. "Terra, you can have your old room back Aqualad, you can sleep in the spare room across from it," he said, addressing the two others. They smiled at each other before climbing into the elevator with the rest of them.

The next morning, the Titans woke to dreary, dismal dawn. It was cold windy the sky was grey and it was raining. (Grey rain! Like my pen-name! ) Raven smiled to herself when she noticed. 'A perfect day for me,' she thought to herself. She checked the black and purple clock above her bed saw that it was 6:30. She was always up this early. Smiling, she noticed that it was finally cooling down! It was no longer a 95 degree heat-wave! (Yeah, right. 95 is normal summertime weather where I live. 120 degrees is a heat-wave.) She adorned her normal uniform, headed down-stairs made herself a cup of herbal tea. Sighing, she sat down on the couch and thought about all that had happened last night. First, there was Aquafag's unexpected, and unwelcome, arrival. Second, there had been Terra's even more unforeseen arrival. Third, there was the call she'd made to Titans East. Bumblebee had answered, so Raven explained everything to her. Bee had said that they'd come by the Tower some time that week. (That was why Rae had scanned for peoples' presences! See, everything I do has a purpose…well…almost everything.) Suddenly, Raven heard someone come down the hall into the living room. She wasn't worried, why should she be? She did live there, after all. But she should've been, because it was…AQUAFAG!

"Hey, Raven," he said, flashing a nauseating smile.

"Hello," she said coldly, anxious to get back to her tea.

"Listen, there's something I want to ask you," he said.

'Oh great. Here it comes. If he asks me to go out with him, I cannot be held responsible for my actions. That includes homicide!' she thought to herself.

"Would you… tell me who that hot blonde girl that showed up last night is?" he asked. She smiled to herself, relieved that he didn't ask her but slightly disappointed that she wouldn't get to kill him.

"Oh, her? The bulimic little b? That was Terra. By the way, I think she likes you. You should probably go ask her out," she told him. 'Then hopefully she'll go join Titans East and I'll never have to see either of you again.'

"Really?" he asked, sounding delighted. "I think I will, thanks Rae."

"If you call me 'Rae' again," she said, clearly teed-off, "I will throw you out of a 12th story window onto a busy highway below, peel your pancake-like form off the road, fry you up, cover you in syrup, and then let the cannibals eat you," she said casually, taking a sip of her tea. He stared at her for a moment before running away as fast as he could. When he was completely gone, Raven smiled. Suddenly, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who!" a certain someone said, trying to disguise their voice. Raven smiled to herself, knowing full well who it was. (Not only could she recognize that voice and the feel of the hands, but she could also recognize the person's distinct aura. That was how she recognized Terra! ) Without saying anything, she quickly picked the person up w/ her magic, wrapped her arms around him kissed him.

"Good morning, Beast Boy," she said, smiling smugly at the green Titan who was currently staring in shock.

"Good morning!" he said after a moment. Apparently he enjoyed her greeting. (That was for all you fluff-deprived BB/Rae people! ) She laughed to herself, Beast Boy joining her.

"Well," said a voice behind them, making them both jump, "that's one heck of a way to start out the day. Better than coffee, that's for ded sure!" Cyborg said as he sat down on the couch. They smiled. "So B.B., you up for a game of Monkey Fighters 4, or you gonna be too busy makin' out w/ Rae?" he asked playfully. Beast Boy grinned devilishly.

"I'd prefer option two," he said, smiling at Raven. She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile.

"Good morning friends! I trust that the small carnivorous insects did not gnaw on you as you slept?" a cheerful voice called out. (Bedbugs, get it? Bedbugs? Anyone? ... Guess not. )

"We slept fine, Starfire," B.B. answered. "Or I know I did."

"Did you dream about Raven?" Robin asked, laughing, as he came into the room.

"Now that ya mention it…" Beast Boy began, grinning wickedly. Raven smacked his head playfully Robin looked like he was going to be sick.

"That was RHETORICAL!" he said, his face turning slightly green. Terra walked in, with Aquafag close behind her, but not too close as to where he couldn't get a clear view of her butt.

"Hey guys!" she called.

"Hey," they answered in unison, except for Starfire Raven. (Star had said "hello" while Raven had muttered something like "go to hell".) They all sat down on the couch, Robin preparing to challenge Cyborg to a game, when a knock sounded on the front door. Raven was normally the one to get the door, since she could just teleport through the floor, but at the time she was too busy kissing Beast Boy. Robin ran into the bathroom, closely followed by Aquafag Terra, from which puking could be heard.

"I'll get it!" Cyborg volunteered. Starfire was already trying to help Robin by making her Pudding of Sadness. Cyborg ran downstairs opened the door to find…Jinx.

"Please," she whispered, collapsing on the doorstep. "Help me." Her hair was soaked, as were her clothes it was apparent that she'd been running.

"Oh God! Jinx! What happened?" Cyborg asked frantically, unable to conceal his hidden affection for the villain.

"I-I don't know how, but I escaped Brother Blood's control. And-and…now he's after me. Oh Cyborg you've got to help me! He's trying to kill me!" she screeched, sobbing. Lifting her up into his arms, he carried her all the way back upstairs, all the while trying to comfort her. He burst into the living room to the astonished faces of the Titans. Rave B.B. had actually stopped making out long enough to ask what happened why the heck he was carrying Jinx around.

"Blood's after her! We've got to help her! Raven! Heal her now!" the hybrid teen shouted.

"Wait!" Robin commanded. "I think you should read her mind first, so you can tell whether or not she's telling the truth."

"WHAT! SHE'S GONNA DIE AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHETHER OR NOT SHE'S LYING! IF SHE WAS LYING THEN SHE WOULDN'T BE SO INJURED!" Cyborg screamed, indicating her right leg, which was bent at an unnatural angle. Raven nodded, looking slightly annoyed at being interrupted when in the middle of making out w/ B.B., who also looked annoyed.

"I can read her mind and heal her, it's no big deal," she said, lifting the girl with her powers placing her lightly on the couch. She held her hands high over Jinx's form as a bluish-white aura covered the wounds. A few minutes later, Jinx's eyes flickered open (she'd passed out while Cy had been carrying her) to reveal two violet eyes. Cyborg looked like he was ready to pass out, but soon enough Jinx's eyes were back to normal Raven broke out of her trance. She looked exhausted, but she stood up, walked out to the kitchen, made a mug of tea handed it to a very confused Jinx. "Trust me," Raven said, "you need it." She turned back to Robin, who was looking at her curiously, and said, "she's telling the truth. Blood's trying to kill her all right. If she hadn't have had the sense…and the reason…to come here, he would've done so already. As it is, she's lucky I was here to heal her."

"I…I know that I've done a lot of wrong in the past…but…I was hoping that I could make up for it," Jinx said, looking down. "I was hoping that you guys would, um…let me make up for the damage I've done." Even Robin, who was normally too emotionally deaf to notice when someone was ready to kill him, heard the sincerity in her voice.

"Well," he said, "I think that someone who used to be as villainous as you would need a 'special' sentence to make up for it. For a whole year," he said, smiling, "you are to help us, the Teen Titans, locate and fight criminals as your punishment. Maybe more, if we see that it's working," he added. Jinx, along with all the others smiled. Another knock filled the air as Cyborg sat down next to Jinx.

"I shall answer!" Starfire called, already halfway there.

"Hey, Star. I believe I'm here to collect a moron?" Bumblebee said, smiling.

"Hello Bumblebee! It is most pleasant to see you again. I believe this 'moron' you are referring to is Aqualad, yes?" Star asked, receiving a nod. "He is here, currently in the process of flirting with Raven. Would you care to visit with us for a span of time?"

"Sure," Bumblebee said, laughing lightly at Starfire's strange phrasing.

"I believe that Raven is wishing for you to take Terra with you when you are to depart. Raven actually slapped Terra when she saw her."

"Really! I can't believe I missed it! Well, would you care to take me up to meet this 'Terra'?"

"Most certainly!" Starfire said, leading Bee inside the Tower.


Oh yeah! Another chappie is complete! I apologize for the lack of comedy. Or I would, if my constant apologies didn't annoy some of you. I tend to suffer from a low self-esteem. Anyway, I'm going to follow through w/ dancingirl3's idea after this next chappie comin' up. Here's a hint for the next chappie: the Titans play truth or dare, and there's a hilarious dance scene to Mambo 5! R R please!
