Four Years Later
Titans Tour 3:13 PM
'This is it.' Thought Beast Boy. He fingered his collar, trying to make up his mind whether to knock, or to leave.
He Knocked Twice.
Starfire appeared at the door.
Her mouth dropped open..
"FRIEND! You have returned!"
She grabbed him around the neck in a tight hug, and he pried her lose.
"Uh.. Yeah Starfire.. Its been a long time, I just need to-"
Starfire interrupted him. "Come in friend!" She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him inside.
"Well, I can see she didn't change much." He muttered to himself.
Then he looked at her more closely. She looked happy, and slightly older. Her hair, which was usually down, and to her waist while he knew her, was held back by a clasp at the neck, and she was wearing a pair of black tight stretchy pants, with a thick wool sweater over them.
'Strange.' He thought to himself. 'Usually we would all stay in uniform.'
"Have a seat here Beast Boy, I will go call the others."
Beast Boy sat down.
He was nervous and fidgety. Would they hate him? Would they never speak to him again?
He sat, briefcase in one hand.
His outfit consisted of a suit, dress shoes, and a tie.
He had changed and he knew it.
He was no longer 'Funny Guy'
He was no longer "Beast Boy" his employees only referred to him as Mr. Garfield.
'I am just lucky to be alive.' Thought Beast Boy.
'As soon as I talk to everyone I am leaving. I can't afford to put them in any danger.'
'Put them in danger?' A nagging voice said inside his head. 'Selfish Child. You know you put them in danger the moment you stepped foot in here.' He looked down.
Raven opened the door to Teen Titans Tower, book in hand.
She had just been reading for hours. The book she was reading was one of her favorites
She held it to her face, not bothering to look where she was walking as she went,
As she started for the stairs, she heard a voice from the couch.
"Haven't seen you in a long time, Raven."
She turned, recognizing that voice, and realizing who it was, she let her book drop to the floor.
