Konnichiwa minna… again! Sorry for not keeping up with my countdown, I was so tired when I got home on Wednesday and Thursday but… You guys ROCK! Thanxz for all the reviews and of course, please keep voting! Standard disclaimer…
I quit…
"Cyborg… LOOK OUT!" His number one fan screamed him to get out of the way of the speeding truck. The truck seemed 'possessed' and carried on zooming down the street. Suddenly, his sensors went wild as he glanced around him. His human eye bulged as the truck came closer and closer.
BANG! A clatter of metal scrapped the atmosphere and pierced the heart of his number one fan. To there surprise, there was no driver in the driver's seat of the truck, in fact a meek voice had been yelling, "Make way for my truck!"
Crowds of people gasped loudly as the smoke cleared. A metallic enhanced human, stood clear in the middle of the wreckage. Everyone cheered for the Titan as he yet again signed more autographs and explained why he was walking.
At last, the T-Car was in sight. With a victory yell, he sprang up onto his heels and charged towards his precious 'baby'. He gave it a manly hug and clambered in. Within moments, he turned on the turbo and headed towards Titans Tower.
Titans Tower…
Beast boy's eyes bulged at the question. Sure he was glad that Terra was back and alright but… 'love'? Terra had made him believe in her, then she abused his trust and went with Slade, their most hated enemy… but then she saved them all… and it was all because of the love she thought they had.
"Well…?" he voice rang, like a church bell through Beast boy's ears… very hard to miss. Guilt swept through his body like a plague. "You said that you would wait for me?" He pulled away from her, seeing tears creep into her eyes.
"Did you lie to me?" Terra asked as a sudden burst of anger and uncertainty came over her. Her eyes started to glow violently. Beast boy held his hands up for some defence.
"Hey, hey now! Easy Terra, you know that I would never lie to you… because… I …"
A smile crept on Terra's face as she realised that he was having difficulty admitting his feelings. She embraced him in a hug and kissed him lightly on the lips. He returned gratefully and squeezed her waist. They soon broke off and Terra snuggled up to his chest and breathed slowly. Well done Beast boy… You now unofficially have a girlfriend…
Raven's Room…
"…… Go… solo?" Robin stuttered. A sudden pain gripped his stomach in a deadlock, refusing to let go. A range of possibilities, which were more like questions, ran through his head… if he were to go solo that is. Who would be the leader? How will the Titans live on? What would I do? Where would I go? Would I ever see the Titans again and let out my feelings to the person I love?
Raven, yet again, artfully hid a smirk beneath her hood as she was reading Robin's mind. There was so much activity going on and his nerves were getting the best of him. In another heart beat, she decided top help her distressed leader.
"Cyborg would probably be leader. We would make it through somehow and if the going got too tough then we would disband. You would kick bad guy ass like you always do. You'd probably go back to Gotham to your mention for him to give you a few pointers… then you would make your way from there. Of course you would see us again… after we've all cooled down from your 'betrayal' and you'll see us on the news, whether it being good or bad. And for that special person in our life… it all depends on who it is…" She explained, being successful in calming him down. His breathing had become a slower rate and his mind had only one stupid question inside it.
How the hell did she know that?
"It's because I can read minds you idiot… or did you forget?" She tilted her head to the side, a characteristic that Starfire, so far, had the panache to do in front of the Boy Wonder and get him to smile. He did smile… slightly.
"I'm just… stressed that's all. Your statement really got me going. I think I need to relax a little."
"Well. I'm not really a person who could tell you how to relax so um… how about we go to Cyborg and ask him if he has any 'cures'."
Robin nodded as they both headed out of her door and down the hallway. On the way, Robin pictured an ivory book in his mind.
"So… how long have you been reading that book for?" he asked interested.
"I started a few weeks ago… but then I got a little… side tracked. My dreams have become… rather, disturbing." She looked up at him timidly but carried on.
"If, there was a secret and I couldn't tell anyone else… would I be able to tell you and you wouldn't let it leak out… would you?"
"Of course not Raven… you were the first person in Jump City that I have trusted… I only hope for the same in return." Raven mentally smirked, his words calming her nerves. They carried on walking in silence until they reached the garage, where Cyborg was just pulling up. He soon clambered out of the car and addressed his friends.
"Hey people, what's up?" Raven sighed and said,
"As Star would say the lights, the ceiling and the sky. But onto more serious matters. Robin and I think that it would be a good night for the Titans to unwind and relax. Too much has happened in the last few days for us all to comprehend and so… you get the point." I'm really beginning to hate explaining things so many times to so many people…
"Sound like a deep idea Rae! I think we should tell BB and Terra since she's up now," Cyborg suggested. Robin nodded,
"I'll go get them, you two stay here and… wait?" Robin jogged through the doors and up to the Medical Wing. The sight he saw made him say 'Aw' in a girlie way. Beast boy glared at him while Terra giggled lightly.
"Nice to see that you're awake Terra," Robin commented. BB almost blew a gut.
"Nice… NICE! It's fabulous to see that she's awake! DUDE! Have you never been in love before?" Robin smirked at his reply, but didn't push any further.
"Alright Beast boy, Cy, Raven and I are going to go out tonight and we would like you to come with us. So are you up for it?"
"Is Terra awake?" BB commented as he carried Terra out of the room and raced Robin down o the garage where Raven and Cyborg were waiting in the car. BB, Robin and Terra all mounted into the car.
"So," Cy started, "Is Star coming with us?"
"Yea Robin, is she coming? I'm missing my bone crushing hug!" Terra agreed.
"I can't sense her in the tower, so she's not there." Raven claimed.
"Then where is she?" BB asked.
"I don't think it will matter, she'll find us!" Robin explained as Cy hit the gas and the T-Car tore down the road towards there favourite club… SOTO!
Once they had passed the Bouncers, Cyborg, Terra and Beast boy headed straight for the dance floor. A crowd formed around them instantly, with Terra and Beast boy dancing close to one another and Cy pulling random girls, who he thought was hot, from the crowd to dance with him.
Robin and Raven headed to the table that was reserved for them and sat down. Everyone around them, even the people who were working, was having a great time. Many girls saw Robin and asked him to dance and pulled him out of the seat. Raven watched him go out of view and sighed.
"Great… I at a club with no one to dance with. Woe is me. I guess I'll just have to sit on my ass all night and get a massive cramp in the morning… Oh gracious simultaneous joy, I must be the happiest girl in the world!"
"You are now Raven!" Robin shot from behind her. Raven gasped as she spun around in his arms. He led her to the outside of the floor as a new song came on… just happened to be a carnival song.
Wave for me
Wave for me
I need you
I I I need you
Wave for me
Where yuh rag
Where yuh flag
Put yuh rag in de air
"You don't really expect me to dance to this song do you?" Raven asked. Robin smirked and nodded and he spun her around faster. Cyborg, Terra and BB made their way towards them and started to dance together.
We jumping...celebrate
And waving... celebrate
We jamming… celebrate
til morning… celebrate
I'm your queen
You're my king
My darling...
Little did they know that paparazzi cameras was filming them the whole time, especially when Robin and raven were up close together and smiling… yes, Raven was smiling.
Red X Hideout…
"It's nothing fancy, but a home isn't just a building…"
"…It can be a spirit… or a person you truly admire and love…" Starfire continued for him. Red X looked at her and placed his hand underneath her chin, lifting it up gently.
"And how do you know that?"
"I know because… I feel that the place of my dwelling is with my friends in Titans Tower… but they seem not to need me anymore. Robin hates me and everyone is appealing to Terra more… even Raven. I feel like… a…"
"…An outcast?" He offered. She nodded and sniffled as if she was going to cry.
"That is the reason why I rely on my mothers spirit to pull me through and the love that I may find on this planet."
"I hope you find it as well Princess… I really hope you do…" X whispered in her ear as he pulled her over to his 'living room' where a T.V was blaring out the latest scoop on the news.
"BLONDE KICKS OUT RED!" it stated in big letters. In the background, you could see the Titans (sans Starfire) dancing around having a good time with all their fans around them. Everyone was smiling, even Raven.
Starfire's heart was shattered as she sank on to the floor. Red X gathered her up in his arms, rocking back and forth as the first of her tears began to fall. Starfire eased herself up. With his arms still around her and pushed him very gently away.
"I have made up my mind… They have made my decision easier…"
Behind the mask… Red X smirked…
… He had won…
Titans Tower…
The rest of the Titans staggered into the Rec. room, tripping over each other and falling over themselves with laughter. They were so over filled with joy that they hadn't noticed a scolding shadow in the doorway, watching them with cold, but heated eyes.
Cyborg had his arm around Bumble Bee, who they had met at the party and they decided to take her home. Beast boy had his arm around Terra and Robin had his arm around Raven's shoulders. The shadow shook its head as a glistening tear fell down.
The Titans collapsed onto the sofa giddily but their eyes fully opened when the lights flipped on. The all stared at the shadow that was in the doorway. Noticing that it was a fellow Titan Robin greeted her with a friendly,
"Hey Star! What's happening…?" She remained silent for a few moments and Robin noticed the tears. She quickly mumbled something which they could not hear.
"What Starfire, we can't hear you."
"… … I… Quit… …"
