Raven of the Night 676: In order,

Yes, I have three of them. GO TO AMAZON! THEY'RE LOADED!

Yes, the bartender would of given her stuff because this was one of those places that doesn't give a crap so long as you gots the money.

It totally wasn't my best, but thanks for being nice.

This soon enough?

Me no own Teen Titans, got it? Get it. I wish I had it!

This takes place three hours after the last chapter.

"Hello?" A weary voice greeted Officer Cilstrong.

"I assume this is the Ligina residence?"

"Mrs. Ligina speaking."

"Yes, you are listed as the Markov's "back-up number", correct?"

"That's correct."

"My name is Officer Cilstrong. Jeremy Markov is not picking up the phone, so I was forced to call you. It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that Kylie Markov died in a car crash…hello?"

Cindy was shocked. "Victor!" She called. He appeared next to her. "Phone for you."

"Hello?"

"Mr. Ligina?"

"Yes."

"Well, as I just told your wife, Kylie Markov has just died in a car crash. Her seat belt was off and the party was stoned and/or drunk."

"Er, thank you Officer, we'll pass the news on to Jim and Tara. Yes. Good-bye." He turned and faced his wife who stood worriedly next to him. "Poor Tara. She's gonna wake up to an unconscious best friend, a dead sister, and a pounding headache…" As soon as they had come home Tara had collapsed onto the guest room bed.

At that moment Tara stumbled out of the room. "What's going on!" She demanded.

"Um…"

"Honey, you remember Gavin's little…issue, don't you?" Cindy asked gently. Tara's face fell.

"Yessss."

"Okay. See…would you like to sit down?" Cindy offered.

"Just tell me what's going on!"

"Honey, Kylie died in a car crash." Tara's face grew an interesting mixture of hate, fear, sadness, and blankness.

"What? No, you don't understand! No one does! Kylie does crap, but she won't die!" Tara spat out the last word as if it had a bad taste she couldn't wait to get out of her mouth.

"Tara," Cindy said, trying to calm her down. "It'll be fine." Tara was holding back tears, and flinched when Cindy reached toward her.

"No…" she said weakly.

"Tara…" Cindy said, her heart breaking for the young girl.

"Why me?" Tara cried, tears falling freely. "Who chose to give me this? I'm only 14!"

"Aww, honey, I don't know," Cindy said, crying now as well. "Terr, we're gonna keep you here for awhile. Is that alright?" Tara nodded.

They spent the next couple of hours calming down, and went to visit Gavin.

"Yes, unfortunately we located the bullet in the frontal lobe area of the cranium. His progress…well, he's stable right now." Dr. Lutherol finished his report. Cindy started to cry and Mr. Ligina had a grim face. Tara sat there calmly, but she felt as if she was dying inside. A world without Gav and Kylie sounded awful.

Okay, Tara thought to herself as the Liginas discussed Gavin with the doctor, maybe I should just, slowly detach myself from all things Gavin. Hard, since I'm living with his parents, but maybe if I do it, it won't hurt so much when he dies.

So it was settled. She would forget him, for the sake of what little sanity she still had. But she had no idea what state would befall her because of this.

Inner Thoughts (what the Teen Titans were REALLY thinking)

Aftershock Pt.2

(at Terra's grave)

(these are meant to be humorous, not at all serious or bashing, except the Cyborg one)

Robin: MustkillSlademustkillSlade…wait…Terra just did it. DAMMIT! I shall dig him up and kill him again! Mwahahaha!

Cyborg: I'm hungry.

Beast Boy: DAMMIT TERRA! WE COULDA HAD SOMETHIN'!

Starfire: It seems that Terra has ribbited. (sobbing mentally)

Raven: (reading Starfire's mind) Croaked Starfire, CROAKED! Not "ribbited". God, how retarded is she?

Terra and Starfire rock, so this isn't bashing of any sort. I hate Cyborg.
