JUMP CITY
"FRIEND ROBIN HAS AWAKENED!" Star screamed when Cy smiled and told her the news. They were eating dinner when Cy's built in system alerted him of Robin's brain relaxing and his body moving.
"Lets go see Robin," Cy said but Star was already flying to the infirmary
They entered to see Robin sitting on the bed with a cocky, grin on his face, he already had all his equipment and uniform ready and he simply stated: "I won, now things can get better. Star we can be together, I destroyed my enemy once and for all."
"Who?" Cy asked confused at what battle Robin had finally won
"I have defeated Slade's influence before it could actually harm anyone," Robin explained, and lied.
"Excellent, now we can truly enjoy life!" Star declared, she as did Cyborg slowly felt their suffering and confusion for the past weeks were finally over. They thought the changes were over, and things would return to normal. However, on a distant planet, two of their friends were about to make another change in their lives.
AZARATH
"How do we get married on Azarath?" Beast Boy asked as they slowly trekked to the small village.
"We have to go to the Council of Elders and answer a number of questions. After they are satisfied they will each give us their blessing and give us each a marriage stone. Then I will transport us back to Gotham so we can prepare for the return journey," Raven explained to her fiancé
"Do we need to dress up, or buy the ring?" Beast Boy asked, nervously as they approached the village.
"No, Azarathians don't really care much for looking nice, we are fine with what we are wearing, don't worry, you don't look too strange," Raven gave a little chuckle and pulled her hood up.
"Why did you put your hood up?" Beast Boy asked curious, he also noticed her voice had gone back to monotone
"Just a tradition, as is not displaying emotions in public. Try not to smile, laugh, or touch anyone or anything when we are in public, it is extremely disrespectful," Raven warned Beast Boy as they finally entered the tiny village.
Raven and Beast Boy walked in silence, at a constant, slow rate until they reached a large one story building. Slow moving Azarathians with their hoods up also glided down the streets like ghosts, paying no attention to Beast Boy or Raven.
"The council meets here, lets go in," Raven entered and reached the desk.
"What business do you have with the council?" An Azarathian secretary asked Raven in a dry, monotone voice.
"I need to be wed with this man," Raven replied pointing at Beast Boy, keeping a monotone voice as well.
"All right, I will alert the council of your arrival and intention," the secretary walked to a black sphere as Raven led the way to the council room.
"No waiting?" Beast Boy whispered. They walked down a dark corridor.
"No, marriages are important here," Raven whispered back as they entered the large room. The thirteen council members sat in a semicircle facing a large podium, Raven and Beast Boy sat facing the council members. There was a high chair with an elderly Azarathian sitting with, like the other council members, very prestigious looking cloaks. To his right sat six women members and to his left sat six male members. They also had emotionless, stern voices.
"Who wishes to marry who?" The chief council member asked in a monotone voice.
"I Raven of Azarath wish to marry Beast Boy of Earth," Raven declared to council members. Several raised there eyebrows at the fact she was marrying such a strange looking Earth man.
"All right, first you must answere thirteen questions, one from each member, then we will move to the next stage," he looked at the man standing at the end of the table and the council manasked: "Will you take care of each other for all eternity, because this is what this oath means, once married you cannot end the marriage," the member warned
Beast Boy and Raven nodded an affirmative
The rest of the council members asked similar questions and each one they nodded in agreement. After the chief gave his question he said: "Now we are ready for the next phase of this marriage ceremony: Council woman Arelle bring the rings. Nodding, a hooded female left the room, after three minutes of complete silence, she returned with two rings. She brought them to Raven and Beast Boy, they each took a ring.
"When you put the ring on you are married, this is a big decision, not one to be taken lightly. Make sure this is what you really want. These stones on the ring, we find them in the ground, they are only two identical stones, each has a different pair of colors or desighn. Only you two will have this particular pair. Once you put the ring on, they will never come off, they are bonded by magic," the elder told the young couple as they stared at the ring. It was blue and green, the perfect ring for the two of them.
Beast Boy looked right into her eyes as he slipped the ring on his ring finger. Raven, also not losing eye contactalso slipped on the ring.
"Congradulations, you are now married, please come back if you have any problems," the elder told the newly weds in a monotone voice.
"Thank you, we need to get home," Raven said in a monotone voice and walked out. The large,wooden doorslammed behind them as they left. As they walked to the front door in silence Raven felt her powers finally returning to her, she felt balanced and satisfied. Beast Boy felt full of pride and joy, he had finally done what he had previously only fantasized about. Sure it wasn't in a large church, sure Cy wasn't the best man or any of my friends are here, but to hell with that Raven's my wife!
"Lets go home," Raven said suddenly as a black globe enveloped them, in no time they were back in the Gotham room.
"What happened to the spell, and all that stuff?" Beast Boy asked suspicious
"My powers are returning very quickly Beast Boy, I sense Batman should be coming in a few minutes, we should get ready to return to Jump City," Raven told her husband
"Uh, Raven, think they will be ... surprised to see us married?" Beast Boy asked nervously, talking about the other Titans.
"Probably," Raven replied in monotone
"Raven, what is the problem, we just got married, you have been showing less and less emotion since we got married. Are you worried about Robin?" Beast Boy asked with concern
Raven looked down feeling ashamed, he had hit bulls eye. She was still scared of Robin and even of the Tower which held such painful memories. Beat Boy gave her a hug and whispered: "I will never let him or anyone hurt you Raven, I will always protect you,"
He let go and Raven quietly gave him a nod of thanks, she still hadn't recovered. Just then Batman entered the room.
"Hello, are you married?" Batman asked right when he entered
"Yes," Beast Boy chirped cheerfully
"Excellent, what are your plans now?"
"We would like to return to Jump City and we are wondering if you can take us home in the Batjet," Raven asked Batman
"Sure, get packed and I will be back in two hours. Before I go, Raven I need to give you something," Batman asked. Raven nodded and Batman and her went to the hallway to talk.
"What do you need to ask me. Beast Boy is really jealous when it comes to you," Raven warned Batman
Batman smiled solemnly and said: "I don't think I will take his wife, but Raven, I still will protect you, if you are ever in trouble, push this button on this little bat," Batman gave Raven a little electronic, flat bat, it had a red button in the middle.
"Thank you, I really needed this," Raven said giving Batman a great full smile. Batman nodded and walked out to the Batmobile.
TWO HOURS LATTER GOTHAM
Raven and Best Boy packed their bags on the jet. It was a cold, dark Gotham early morning. The wind was blowing heavily as Batman went through the checklist. They took off on the short ride to Jump City.
"Forget anything Beast Boy?" Batman asked Beast Boy who was startled by the question. Raven was taking a nap. The jet glided gracefully over the midwest
"No, I don't think I forgot anything," Beast Boy was feeling a little suspicious at Batman's random question
"You didn't forget a green moped?" Batman continued in a surprised tone, his eyes never left the controls he was working on.
"I cant bring that, its too big to take to Jump City!" Beast Boy said, he was pretty sad that he couldn't take his moped. It would have been his and Raven's vehicle.
"Really? Because I loaded a green moped in the back just before we left," Batman had a little smile on his face, this was a rare moment when Batman was trying to act a little bit like the human being he really was, he saw Beast Boy's face light up.
"How did you fit it in the batjet?" Beast Boy asked curious
"I had to move some things and was able to get it," Batman replied
The rest of the two hour flight was filled with good conversation between Batman and Beast Boy. The tension that the two had felt previously was slowly vanishing. Raven who was taking a "nap" was really trying to pull herself together to facing Robin again…
