-AN: Whooohooo. I think I finally have an idea on what to do for the next
chapter. So, here it is...
-BTW, that episode that Terra would betray the Titans, at the moment of writing this chapter, has not aired yet. Heck, the title of the episode could a deception, and Terra doesn't betray and leave the Titans for all I know (though reading the episode teaser, AND again, the title ["Betrayal"], and the comic book version that this story arch comes from, I don't think so). This is why I'm trying to be as general as I can be concerning Terra and the Titans. That way, if I need to change the story any to conform to the series, I can hopefully do so without changing to the overall story. Now, eventually, the series and this story will deviate, but I'm hoping not until at least the last two episodes of this season.
~Titan Tower~
Robin is in his room sleeping. Robin is in Dreamland.
Robin is breaking into a building. He is swinging from the ceiling towards the floor. He shuts down a few detection devices before dropping to the ground.
He backs into a wall. He walks towards a corner. A camera is monitoring the area. When the camera is away from his side, Robin throws a birdarang at the camera's wire, disabling it. Robin continues on towards his intended target.
His target is in a glass container. Inside is a type of microchip. Robin approaches the glass container and is ready to open it. Robin takes out a device to cut the glass.
The device is taken by Raven's power. "I don't think so."
Robin turns around. He sees Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire.
"Friend, please don't do this." Starfire plead Robin.
"What are you waiting for?" Slade talks through Robin's earphone. "Fight them my apprentice."
Robin narrows his eyes. "I am not your apprentice. Not now, not then."
"What do you mean then by last time...Terra?" Slade questionably responds.
"What?" Robin's eyes go wide. He looks at the reflection on the glass. He sees Terra looking back. Robin looks back at the Titans.
"Terra?" Beast Boy reaches out with his hand.
Out of the shadow, Robin sees himself take out a Bo Staff, elongates it, and rushes Rob...er Terra. The rushing 'Robin' gets near...um...Terra, pulls his arm back, and bashes Terra.
*Poof*
Robin wakes up. Robin looks around. Robin lowers and holds his head. 'Just a dream.' Robin thinks about Beast Boy. 'Terra is our enemy now. She works for Slade. She is our enemy now...is she?' Robin thinks back during the time when he worked for Slade. Robin frowns.
~Cyborg's Room~
Cyborg gets up. Cyborg yawns. "Ahhhhh. Another morning." Cyborg walks out of his room and heads to the living room.
~Living Room~
Beast Boy is playing Ratchet and Clank. Beast Boy has a depressed look on his face.
"Hey Beast Boy!" Cyborg calls out, smiling.
Beast Boy barely lifts his head to see Cyborg, and then returns to his game. "Hi Cyborg." Beast Boy responds in a weak voice.
Cyborg's smile fades.
Robin walks next to Cyborg and Beast Boy. "Hey guys."
Beast Boy gives a weak wave. "Hey Robin."
Robin frowns.
"Well, the good news is, he isn't thinking about himself now." Cyborg speaks with a serious look on his face. "But now..." Cyborg frowns.
"Yeah." Robin lowers his head. "But there is little we could...do...now about this. Beast Boy just, he just needs to come to terms with this." Robin is disturbed by this idea. 'Is there nothing we could do about this?'
Starfire pops up. "Hi friends! Morning has arrived." Starfire smiles until she sees Beast Boy. Starfire smile fades.
Raven walks in. Raven looks at Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin. She notices that they are all watching Beast Boy. She then looks at Beast Boy. Raven frowns slightly. "He still isn't over it?" Raven crosses her arms. "This is pointless."
"Um. I'll guess cook breakfast today." Cyborg suggests. "I'll...I'll even make tofu sausages and pancakes today too."
Beast Boy continues to play his game.
Breakfast was unusually quiet this morning. Once it ended, Beast Boy was the first to get up and play some more Playstation 2. Everyone else just stared at Beast Boy. Finally, Robin left to the training course to do some training. Raven left to meditate on the roof. Starfire followed Robin to the training course. Cyborg went to the couch to have a talk with Beast Boy.
"Say, Beast Boy..." Cyborg looks at Beast Boy nervously. "Want to...play a few rounds of Soul Calibur 2! We could finally settle who is king once and for all!"
Beast Boy turns to Cyborg. "Its okay Cyborg. If you don't mind, I...I would like to be alone right now."
Cyborg sighs. "Okay, um. If you need me, I will be working on my car." Cyborg gets up and heads to his car. He gives Beast Boy one final look before exiting.
-A few hours later.
"Well, that was great." Robin walks into the living room. He is stretching his arms a little. "Starfire as a partner really helped. Though she seemed to have needed to be 'saved' a few more times." Robin raises an eyebrow.
Starfire walks in. "I guess I'm a little...clumsy today. Hehehe." Starfire giggles. "It was nice to have someone rescue me every time." Starfire blushes.
Robin blushes. "Um, yeah."
"I'm going to take a shower now. See you later Robin!" Starfire flies off.
Robin sits down at the couch to rest. Beast Boy is still playing Ratchet and Clank. "Hi Beast Boy."
Beast Boy gives a weak wave to Robin. "Hi Robin. Training went well today?"
Robin frowns. "Yeah it did. Um. If there is anything..."
"Its okay Robin. I like to be alone right now." Beast Boy goes back to his game.
Robin lowers his head. "Well, if there is anything, we're here to help."
Beast Boy doesn't respond. He continues to play his game.
Raven walks in. "Robin, can we talk."
Robin looks at Raven. "Okay." Robin looks at Raven nervously.
"Robin, about us..." Raven starts when Robin interrupts.
"Starfire...Starfire confessed her love to me." Robin lowers his head.
"WHAT?" Raven looks at Robin with a shocked expression.
"Yeah, she did it...when we were out on the picnic yesterday." Robin looks up to catch Raven's eyes.
"What...what did you say?" Raven with concern in her voice.
"Nothing she, she told me that I don't have to answer right there and then."
'So, Starfire raised the stakes now. Well, lets see about that.' Raven looks at Robin. "Robin..."
Starfire flies in. Starfire grabs Robin and spins him around. "ROBIN! Lets go out and have some ice cream!"
"Um. Okay." Robin responded before being dragged out by Starfire.
Starfire and Robin disappear past the door.
"Hey, hey! I'm not done talking to him yet!" Raven grinds her teeth. A nearby computer screen cracks. "I have to follow them. But how?" Raven turns to Beast Boy.
Beast Boy got up and started walking towards his room.
Raven rushed in front of Beast Boy. "Say Beast Boy, want to have ice cream with me?"
Beast Boy, momentarily startled, then goes back to moping. "Its okay Raven, I think I'll just stay here and..."
Raven grabs Beast Boy. "Tough, you're coming with me whether you like it or not!" Raven drags Beast Boy to the door.
"Whoa wait Raven, Raven? Raven??" Beast Boy struggles to break free from Raven's grip, but fails.
~Ice Cream Shop~
Robin and Starfire are sitting at a booth. Robin and Starfire are sharing a bowl of ice cream. The ice cream has numerous flavors, nuts, and candies.
Starfire takes a bite. "Mmmmmm. There are so many flavors in that one bite, it is amazing. Don't you agree Robin?"
Robin takes a bite. "Yup. That's the thing about ice cream."
Starfire looks at Robin. Her eyes are twinkling.
A few booths behind Starfire and Robin, Raven and Beast Boy are sitting at a booth. Beast Boy is eating a bowl of ice cream alone. He still has a depressed expression on him.
Raven looks back at Robin and Starfire. "Damn! They still don't notice me. Maybe I should throw a spoon or something." Raven looks at Beast Boy. Raven frowns slightly. "You're still depressed over Terra? Get over it already. You're depressing even me."
Raven returns to looking at Robin and Starfire. Raven's eyes narrow as Robin wipes a little ice cream from Starfire's mouth. Starfire smiles.
Cyborg walks in. Raven turns to Cyborg. "Um. Cyborg, hi. What are you..."
"It seems everyone went out for ice cream." Cyborg sits down next to Beast Boy. "Apparently SOMEONE forgot to invite me along."
Raven has a slightly embarrassed expression. "Um. Opps?"
Cyborg orders a milk shake. He looks at Beast Boy. "Hey Beast Boy."
Beast Boy continues to eat his ice cream.
Cyborg frowns.
Robin and Starfire get up and leave the restaurant.
"I have to follow them." Raven gets up and follows Robin and Starfire.
Cyborg looks at Raven. "Well, I guess we should follow them. Just to make sure they don't get into too much trouble." Cyborg grabs Beast Boy.
"Huh? Whoa, not you too!" Beast Boy is dragged by Cyborg.
~Streets of Jump City~
*Burb* Starfire giggles. "I had a lovely time. I never realized eating so much cold sugary food could tasty." Starfire turns to Robin. "And fun." Starfire gives a seductive smile towards Robin.
"Um yeah. So..." Robin looks at Starfire.
Starfire looks at Robin. "Yeah?"
"I guess we should..." Robin looks at Starfire's eyes.
"Yeah." Starfire closes her eyes, and leans in for a kiss.
Robin looks away. "I guess we should go back home."
Starfire opens her eyes and leans back. She is disappointed. "Yeah I guess."
A rumbling sound is heard behind them.
"Eeeeek!" Starfire sends a starbolt in that direction. It destroys the bush, exposing Raven who is now covered in soot with her hair fried.
"Oh." Starfire gives a slight smirk. "Raven."
'Oh no.' Robin gives a weak wave to Raven. "Hi Raven!"
Beast Boy and Cyborg raise up next to her.
"Hahahahahaha." Beast Boy laughs. "Hahahah..." Beast Boy stops laughing as Raven looks at him. "Heh."
Raven look of annoyance faded. A slight smile formed. "Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Beast Boy smiles at Raven's comment.
Raven looks at Starfire, her annoyance returns. "As for you..."
"That's what you get for spying on us." Starfire smirks.
Raven frowns. "Fine. I will make it up to you with this gift." Raven uses her power to throw a garbage can at her.
"Eek!" Starfire blast the garbage can. Garbage falls all over Starfire. "Ehhhhh."
"You look nice now Starfire." Raven smirks.
Robin looks at the girls. "Um..."
Starfire's eyes glow. "You made me STINKY! I will teach you to a lesson for your indiscretion!" Starfire throws more starbolts at Raven.
Raven counters by throwing garbage can lids, trash, rocks, whatever she can find around her.
"Um girls..." Robin looks at the girls.
Starfire and Raven are in an intense battle.
"I'm...going back to the tower if you need me." Robin walks away cautiously.
Cyborg and Beast Boy look at the fighting duel.
Cyborg speaks up. "Um. Since they appear to not be causing too much damage, why not go home!"
Beast Boy nods.
Cyborg and Beast Boy leave the scene.
Starfire and Raven continue to fight. "Robin's mine!"
Raven counters. "Robin's MINE!"
"Robin's MINE Raven!" Starfire turns to where Robin was. "Right Robin?" Starfire blinks. "Robin?"
Raven looks at where Robin was. Raven turns to Starfire. "Um. Want to take this back to the tower?"
Starfire looks at Raven. "I accept."
Starfire and Raven return to the tower. Once they get there, random explosions are heard.
'Oh no.' Robin looks at the fighting duel.
~Slade's Hideout~
Terra looks at the wall. "Why?" Terra thinks about her fight with the Titans. "Why didn't Beast Boy fight me? We're enemies right? HE BETRAYED ME! Didn't he?" Terra starts to wonder what to do next.
"Terra." Slade says behind her. "Is there something bothering you?"
Terra looks at Slade. "Um...no. Nothing at all."
"Good. Then you should prepare for you next mission." Slade crosses his arms.
"Already? But I just..." Slade then interrupts Terra.
"NOW Terra." Slade closes in on Terra.
"Okay, okay, I'm going." Terra walks off in one direction.
-------End of Chapter 3
Wheeeeeee. Got this chapter done. It's a little shorter then usual, but at the same time, I'm just glad I came up with something (Part 1 I had a much thorough idea of where I was going in then I do for Part 2). Sorry for the more Starfire/Robin fluff. I wanted to show that, at the moment, Starfire has the upper hand now. However, this is the start of Raven doing something. Though her plan might not come to be in the next few chapters. As for Beast Boy...well, he will get out of his new 'funk' eventually. Now that Terra is back. :-P
Apologize again. Didn't do a complete proofread either. After all, I have spell checker, not a logic checker.
I'm still debating whether or not to have Aqualad come back next chapter. I might either save it for a later chapter. He will come back though. Until next time...see ya.
-BTW, that episode that Terra would betray the Titans, at the moment of writing this chapter, has not aired yet. Heck, the title of the episode could a deception, and Terra doesn't betray and leave the Titans for all I know (though reading the episode teaser, AND again, the title ["Betrayal"], and the comic book version that this story arch comes from, I don't think so).
