Hidden Secrets, chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. If I did, Terra would suffer long and hard then die. And there would be a couple at the tower. Also, B.B. and Raven would be together.

And this is where Terra's suffering starts.


"What is it, Cyborg?" came Robin's voice from the door.

"Nothing you haven't met before," came a reluctant voice from the shadows before Cyborg could answer.

All of the titans turned to see Terra leaning against the wall. "Terra!" gasped Beastboy. A smile came across her lips and a nod to her head. "Yeah, it's me again. Back in the flesh, literally."

Lights started blowing out in the room as a chair shot towards Terra. It suddenly dropped as the hold on it was released. With the lights form the halls (thankful they didn't blow up) the others could see Beastboy on the floor cradling Raven and whispering things in her ear. Her eyes blazed with hate and rage as she looked at Terra.

Just then they noticed Beastboy was gripping Raven's hands tightly in her lap. Gently he was pulling her further against him. Eyes of distrust finally turned form Terra and into a caring glint at Beastboy. Finally Raven spoke a single word, "Never."

He nodded and stood up, dragging Raven (still in his arms) up with him. That was the second time today that the teen titans had seen Beastboy calm Raven down out of one of her "death moments". Terra stared at Raven with jealousy. She had thought when she came back Beastboy would be hers again. Perhaps she was wrong.

Raven pulled herself out of Beastboy's arms and headed for her room for some quiet meditation. Beastboy watched her then headed for his room. Terra turned to the other three that looked as shocked as her at what just happened. "What was that all about? And when the hell did it happen?" she asked in an irritated, envious voice.

Robin was the first to snap out of the shocked trance and answer her. "Well, the s'moring we found them eating together. Then Beastboy stopped Raven from pounding us into the ground."

Cyborg interrupted, "He also was able to talk to her and comfort her after she brushed Star off. And he was on the roof with her right before the alarm."

"Now, he calmed her again," sneered Terra. The two males nodded at her. "Robby," came a sweet, small voice from beside Robin, "how come you never play with me like that?" Robin turned to Starfire in disbelief. She never spoke to him like that except when they were in private.


Beastboy put his head in his hands as he sat on his bed. The Terra he had once loved died when she betrayed them, but he still had a fondness for her. He knew Raven had sensed it when he spoke Terra's name. After all, that was the whole reason she went off, to keep him from being stolen away from her again. When he had been holding her, he asked if she would ever defy his wishes. She had said, "Never."

How could he do something like that to her? Raven had every right to be "pissed off" at Terra. He was partly to blame for the way she felt. Beastboy got up and locked his door before turning his Simple Plan cd up high and screaming into his pillow, like usual, to get out his frustration.


Raven tried again and again to meditate. If she didn't calm down, things would start blowing up. Suddenly she realized she was calmer than usual. That reassurance from Beastboy had calmed all of her nerves. Well, if she didn't need to meditate, she might as well get some sleep that she didn't get last night.


Terra stomped away as soon as Starfire spoke. Those two must have been together for some time and were just now showing the others that they were together. How could she break them up? There had to be a way.


Cyborg slinked away as Robin put his arm around Starfire. They definitely have some problems to work out that some of us don't want to know. He headed for the garage to work on something.


"Well, Starfire," Robin answered her after everyone finally left, "if you wanted to do something like that, then you should of told me." He grabbed Starfire around the waist and pulled her closer. "After all, I'm at your command."

Starfire giggled and put her arms around his neck. Gently she played with his hair. "Robby, you are supposed to give the orders, not me." She slid out of his arms and led him away holding her hand.


Beastboy finally stopped screaming and turned his cd player off in time to hear Starfire and Robin walk past in a hurry. Wonder where they're off to. Hearing them her remembered Robin's journal.

Robin's Journal:

"…, a star of fire. What more is there to say?"

Beastboy turned a few more pages.

Robin's Journal:

"I could strangle him. Beastboy put the team in danger, again. This time he himself turned into a true beast. Yesterday him and Adonis both took a dip in these chemicals. Today he ate meat. Totally not him! Then 'he' stole Raven away. When we found them, Beastboy was holding Raven in his mouth. Which I am making no comment on. He laid her on the ground and started to fight us. If he hadn't of turned back to normal, he might of killed us all! Right now they are both in the infirmary. Got to go check on them. Will give update later."

Beastboy slammed his head back into the pillow. Of course Robin had to write about that. Did Robin still blame him for what happened? He turned to the entry on the next page.

Robin's Journal:

"Here's the update I promised. Beastboy didn't steal Raven. He saved her. Let me fill you in. The 'beast' awoke while Beastboy was in the infirmary. Raven was unconscious and healing. When he saw he couldn't get to her, he decided to escape. Well, he got past us and went back to the sewer. That is where we found him and the other 'beast'. They were fighting.

Starfire was back with Raven when she woke up. That's when Raven told Starfire that 'Beastboy didn't hurt me. He saved me.' Quoting her.

Back to us, Beastboy and this other 'beast' fought for a while. Finally they both drained their energy and turned back to their normal selves. Turns out the 'beast' that kidnapped, or should I say apenapped, Raven was Adonis. He is now behind bars, and everyone is okay. Now, Beastboy has to learn to control his 'beast', like Raven. So, as it turns out, I can't totally blame Beastboy for all the trouble. Though, I still put part of the blame on him for not realizing the danger sooner."

Beastboy shut the journal and hit himself in the head with it. Stupid, stupid, stupid. That's what he was, stupid. No wonder everyone was upset at him so often. He was stupid to think they could forgive him for that.

Suddenly there was a knock on his door. "Go away! I don't want anyone to bother me."

"Beastboy, I want to apologize about earlier," came a nervous voice from the other side of the door.

Terra? All of the sudden, he was mad at her. He didn't feel like talking to her after what happened earlier. She had no right to come in and make Raven upset. "Go away! I don't care what you want anymore. Leave!" Beastboy was suddenly glad he locked his door earlier.


She couldn't believe what Beastboy just said. How dare he treat her like he didn't care! Soon she would show him just how much he missed her. Terra stormed away to take out her anger with a work out.
