--Chapter XIII--

Disclaimers: I don't own Teen Titans.

A/N: I've got a question: The city where the Titans tower is secured is in Jump City right? Or do I have it wrong? Please correct me if I'm wrong… Here's the very short Chapter 13. Enjoy…

One week later…

(Cyborg's POV)

It was an evening vigil. Somehow, I was waiting and expecting something to happen. Not that I was psychic, of course. But it certainly helped to keep watch.

I wondered what was happening between Beast Boy and Raven now. They must be in pain, I decided. After all, I had no chance to help them throughout the whole week. I must be the worst friend ever, not helping my two friends to get together.

But somehow as the week passed, everything was uneventful. Neither Raven nor Beast Boy spoke much to me, or said anything about the things they had talked to me about.

I was almost certain that they would find out about each other's feelings soon enough. Somehow, something was holding me back… the attraction. I shouldn't get in their way! I had stopped myself from getting attracted to Raven. And now it came back to haunt me more than ever. I must not give in so easily!

That was the reason why I couldn't lead them to each other. There I was, good old pal Cyborg, ready to help friends with problems but not on love. And what was I doing right now? Surely I've been dealing with love a lot lately, since both my good friends were turning to me for help.

And I wasn't helping them! I regretted this whole week. There were so many countless sayings to apply to my situation: "Treat each day as if it were your last," or "Don't wait for tomorrow to do what you can do today."

But the sound of a distant sound disrupted my troubled thoughts, and I was quite relieved to think about something that I tried so hard not to think about.

And it hit me. That was the Titans alarm! I rushed immediately out of my room.

(Robin's POV)

I aroused at a time no one from the Titans was awake, unaware of what time it was. I staggered to get up from my bed. Where was that sound coming from? Obviously it wasn't the alarm clock. I leaned over and dressed in my normal clothes. What could that sound be…?

"Robin! Come quick!" Starfire called. I was surprised that she was already awake. The week had gone by so slowly and there was barely any assignment.

"What is it, Star?" I asked her and came towards her direction. Cyborg was there too.

"Isn't that the Titans alarm?" she asked.

I listened carefully. True enough, it was the alarm. Finally, another assignment! I had been clamoring for one for the whole week. Although I didn't want to see Jump City in ruins. I hoped it was not too late.

"Teen Titans… go!" I yelled and Raven and Beast Boy burst out of their rooms, following my lead. With Cyborg's help, he got the car ready and we immediately left to see what the trouble was.

As soon as we sped off, I called immediately to know where the trouble was. The police station reported that it was near a school district.

My eyes widened as Cyborg took a quick turn. "Where is it, Robin?" he asked.

"Near a school district. Come on!" I urged him. I hoped no one was hurt or that anything was damaged yet.

But knowing bad guys, the havoc was probably started by now.

A/N: So how was that? It's May 7… in our country. Hehe. The day of my birth, 15 years ago, hahaha. Please review. Sorry for the cliffhanger… will be back soon for the next installment…
