Chapter 22: "Six Months"
It had been six months sense Raven's death and the defeat of Trigon, the Terrible. Much had changed. The Titans East have disassembled.
Tempest retired as a hero and married Dolphin and they are expecting a child.
Arsenal has started a new team with Nightwing called the Outsiders. They don't meet like the Titans do, but if something happens; they'll be there.
Bumblebee and Herald married and retired as heroes.
Mas and Menos have become members of the remaining Titans and are doing well.
Things have changed with the Squads as well.
The East Squad is disassembled and have all gone their separate ways. Only Static and Gear remain in contact. They are still the guardians of Dakota.
Dyggar and Terra are expecting a child and are the Squad's new leaders.
Moth, the only one who could've helped Beast Boy deal with his pain, has left and no one knows where he is.
Guard has quit as a superhero and has moved on with his life. He is planning to attend collage soon.
The (West) Titans have also gone through changes.
Nightwing quit the Titans and has become a police officer, cut his hair to half it's length, and downtown Jump City's protector of the night, and Starfire and Nightwing have married. They live in a large apartment and Starfire is still an active Titan member.
Starfire is a lot less naïve than she was and has embraced her warrior heritage fully, now wearing a suit more traditional of her people. After her planet's destruction she decided not to wait any longer and she was the one who asked Nightwing to marry her in hopes that their love will bring them the happiness they seek. It has.
Cyborg and Jinx are engaged and Cyborg is the team's leader.
Beast Boy has slowly cheered up but the happy-go-lucky BB is gone. His jokes are more lighthearted and he no longer pulls and pranks.
The Titans have also accepted three more members into their ranks. Superboy, Robin (III), and Wonder Girl along with Mas and Menos are the new Teen Titans.
Time goes on, but old wounds remain..
Beast Boy awoke alone in his room once more. He had a dream of being with Raven once more. A dream that was a cruel joke. He wiped tears away caused by the dream's happiness and by reality's cruelty.
"Damn… I wish you were still here.." He said as he got up and got dressed. His uniform wasn't the old purple and black suit that he wore in the past; his new one was almost completely gray. It's sleeves stopped at his elbows, which had purple pads on them. Similar pads were on his shoulders and knees. On the sides of the shirt and pants, a big black stripe. Underneath his shirt, he always wore his and Raven's necklaces. In his pocket, two wedding bands and an engagement ring.
He traced his fingers over her tattooed signature before putting on the shirt. "I love you. I always will" The thoughts of her brought him some happiness. Any reminder of her was like a little piece of heaven.
As the changeling left his room, he ran into the leader of the younger Titans, Robin; Tim Drake. His suit was just like the other two Robins' but his cape was longer and it covered his body completely. He was calmer than Todd, but not as a natural as Grayson had been. He had his flaws but he pretty much took on the role flawlessly.
"Hey Tim." He said with a smile.
"Hello Garfield" Robin greeted as he walked by.
"Garfield?.." He quickly grabbed him in a headlock and messed up his hair before letting go. "Call me B, BB, or Gar. I don't call you Timothy.."
Robin gave him a sour look while fixing his jaw length hair and walking off.
Beast Boy walked to the living room, where Cyborg and Jinx were talking, Mas and Menos were playing video games, and Wonder Girl was reading a news paper.
"Hey Gar." Wonder Girl called.
"What up Cassie?"
"Not much. Conner and Tim training?"
"uh..I guess. Not sure.."
"Ok."
Beast Boy made his way to the kitchen and made some herbal tea. "If it wasn't for you Rae, I wouldn't be addicted to this stuff" He smiled at his thoughts and took a sip.
In the training room, Superboy was training his speed against Robin as he hurled paint balls at a target on Superboy's chest. If one would bust, Robin had proven himself and Superboy owed him five dollars. If Superboy caught all of them and none broke; he had proven himself and Robin owed him five dollars.
"C'mon Tim! You trained with the Bat. I'm sure you can beat me. Unless you're just no good.." he taunted as he caught more.
"Conner! You can move like Clark! Shut the fuck up!" he began to throw them at a quicker pace.
While the two teenagers trained and argued, they were being watched. Watched by a man whose body was long dead and buried but his soul and mind were in his father.
"Joey.. don't do it.. I don't want trouble with the Titans. Later maybe.. but not now. Your sister and brother in law aren't ready.."
"(I am)" came Jericho's response in the form of sign language. He used his father's body as his own now. In his father's arms, a shotgun; fully loaded and cocked.
"Well.. here we go.."
