He pointed his finger at Raven. "You are friends with Her! She killed my family!"
!#((!&$)$
No one spoke for minutes until Beast Boy finally, interrupted the silence.
"Raven?" he said, his eyes pleading, please don't let it be true, don't let him be right, any thing but that. "Is it true? Did you kill someone?"
"She didn't kill just someone!" Thor cried. "She killed an entire planet! She blew it up like it was nothing." He turned to Abbi whose face was pale.
"Athena?" He asked, forgetting that just a few minutes ago he was calling her a traitor. "Are you alright?" She shook her head.
"How can I be?" she whispered. "I've been helping Ana's murderer all this time." She turned to Raven. 'Raven, please say it's not true. Please?" Her eyes were pleading like Beast Boy's. "Please?" Raven looked at her.
"Abbi…" she said. "It was my father. He made me. You have to understand, I would never do it if I had control. He came and… I couldn't defeat him. Again."
Abbi walked over to Raven, whose head was down. The Titans were shocked to see a single tear fall to the ground. Abbi gripped Raven's chin and lifted her head to meet her eyes. She cocked her head in a manner similar to a dog or cat, searching for an answer. Satisfied, she dropped Raven's chin, smiled at her and turned around to the Titans.
"Shall we go then?" Every one but Raven and Abbi did the anime-fall.
"That's it!" Thor cried. "You're going to let her go, just like that! Well, I won't!"
In one swift motion he took his axe out and threw it towards her. Beast Boy would have warned her, but he didn't notice till it was a foot from Raven. But Abbi just simply held her hand out facing the hammer, and it skidded to a stop, as though it had a will of its own. With enormous force it went flying back to Thor, who caught it with ease.
"Thor." Abbi said, her voice dripping with venom. "We'll talk later. For now, all you need to no is that she's not accountable for it. So let's get over this argument, because we have someplace we need to go. Everybody into the limos!"
"Hey! That's my job!" Abbi smiled.
"Sorry Robin. Got a little into it there."
"Hmph. Titans, go!" Every one stared at him. He sweat dropped. "Erm, I mean, hurry or we'll be late?" The other Titans just walked to the limos. He sighed. "Wew."
The limos were as followed: Abbi, Raven and Thor in one, and Robin, Star, Beast Boy and Cy in the other. Theone were discussing Thor, when theother limowere explaining to Thor all about their secret.
"And the winner for the Best Rookie Band is… The Titans!"
Starfire yelped, words failing her. Abbi stood up and hugged Star. Robin and Cy high-fived and Beast Boy hugged Raven on impulse, but Rae didn't push him away, partly because she didn't have time before he jumped back. But she didn't mind it so much.
They made their way up to the stage, but since they were sitting in the back, they decided to just fly up there. When they got up there Robin accepted the award and leaned down to the microphone.
"Thank you so much for this honor…" he started but was cut off by a tap from Abbi. She whispered into his ear. He blushed a VERY deep red, stepped away from the mike, and handed the award to Abbi, who stood at the mike.
"Sorry 'bout that, leadership skills took over. But, as manager I'm just gonna say that he summed it all up. Thank you. We didn't think we'd make it that far, but we did. Even farther. So thanks to the band, to the staff, and to Silence and Saturn for help when we reached musical roadblocks that we, as rookies, didn't know how to handle. But most importantly, thank you to the listeners, because without you, and I know this is a major cliché, but without you this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you, and good night."
The Titans filled off backstage, to a huge round of applause. As soon as they reached a safe talking point, they all erupted, but quietly. During their celebration, a backstage worker came running up to them
"Which one of you is Abbi?" he said.
"I am, what do you need?"
"Thank goodness I found you. Silence forgot how to make that tea that you showed her, the one that soothes and prepares your throat for singing? Well, she needs you to make it right away, her throat has been acting up lately. And Raven, she needs some help with her song, she says that she's going to switch it up a bit, but she wants your opinion."
This worker was one of Abbi's private studio workers that she had snuck in. He knew all about their true identities, and could be trusted to create a reasonable excuse. Abbi smiled.
"Okay. See you Titans, we'll be back out after Silence's award, which is right after her performance. Come on Raven." They ran to the dressing rooms. The Titans stared after them.
"Whatever."
(Bold and italics is Abbi, plain italics is Raven and underlined is both!)
"Ladies and gentlemen! Our newest singer; Silence singing "Why do Angels Cry" with guest star Saturn!"
The curtain rose to reveal a smoky stage. A lone figure dressed in a simple black dress stood on the stage. She sat on a bench with a simple black hat covering her face and head. From the ceiling a swing floated down. Sitting on the swing was Silence, dressed in a simple white dress. She also had a simple white hat and veil, just like the other girl who happened to be Saturn. Silence started to sing, looking towards the ceiling thoughtfully.
Rain, rain
On my face,
It hasn't stopped
Raining for days.
Cry, cry
All you want,
But the sound is drowned
By the rain.
Saturn sat there, apparently not hearing anything. Then she sang, and it gave the appearance of being softly, but echoed through the hearts of everyone there.
Why, why
Does the rain
Moan so?
You ask.
Rain drops
Are angels
Tears,
I say.
Why, why
Do angels
Cry so?
You ask.
Angels cry
For every
Lost soul.
I say.
Without giving any symbol of recognition of the other, they started to sing in unison. Their combined voices harmonized, melting into pure bliss.
Angels cry
For every
Kind word
Left unsaid.
Angles cry
For every
Innocent,
Murdered babe.
Angles cry
For every
Lost moment
Spent in hate.
The earth
Must be full of turmoil
To make the angels
Cry this way.
You say.
Indeed it is
I say.
While rain, rain
Falls down on my face.
The girl in black looked up at Silence and smiled. Even those in the back of the room could see the tears glittering on both girls' faces, and they felt those tears reflected to their own eyes. There wasn't a dry face in the room.
"And the award for Best New Singer goes to… Silence!" Silence came out from backstage, still in her singing costume.
"Thanks. Well, I'm not really one for speeches, so all I'm going to say is thanks. The only reason I even sing is for those who enjoy listening to my voice. So thanks to my fans, my manager, Saturn, the crew, and those who know my secret identity." With that she left the stage. The crowd burst into large applause. The noise wafted up to the rafters, and continued out into the night.
"And the award for the Best Duet Record goes to… Silence and Saturn for "Why do Angels Cry?"!" Silence and Saturn appeared out of no where, dressed in beautiful long kimonos. Raven's was lavender with dark purple birds and lime green vines embroidered onto it. Saturn's was red with gold vines and black dragons. They stepped forward to the mike to accept Silence's fifth award of the night.
"Wow. Fifth one. To be honest, I didn't think I'd even get one. Well, since you all seem to like me so much, maybe I'll be honest with you too. I'll use this time to announce that in one week at Jump City's Town Hall I will announce my true identity. Thank you for the award."
They both stepped away and disappeared in a blast of smoke. The audience sat there in shock. Well, how were they supposed to react? Whispers filled the room as they excited to attend the after parties, which the Titans and Silence were skipping.
Raven and Abbi met the Titans and Thor at the limos and rode home in Silence, four pondering who their friends could be, and three pondering how to break it to them that they were them.
Well, did you like? A bit short, but I felt like that was a good place to stop! So, please review! Thank you sooo much for reading and, again please review!
