Chapter Fifty: "Jealous Much?"
Starfire wanted to go into a shop that had nothing but girl things all over the place; necklaces, fuzzy slippers, earrings, all that good stuff. Needless to say, he didn't want to go in there.
"Star, I really don't want to go in there. I'll wait for you in there." He said, pointing to a indoor motorcycle showcase.
Starfire sighed, but she agreed. Raven went with her and they had some real quality girl time. Well, Starfire did anyway.
About half an hour later of asking a million questions and buying a few things, Starfire and Raven walked out. They walked over to the motorcycle shop and proceeded to find Beast Boy and Robin.
Beast Boy wasn't having much fun. Probably because he didn't know a thing Robin was talking about.
Robin was talking to this guy, who owned a very old, very expensive, in good condition, personalized Harley Davidson motorcycle. A girl, around her twenties, obviously his daughter, stood next to him. She was also talking to him about her father's motorcycle.
"Wow, I can believe how much money you can put into such a vehicle." Robin whistled. "And you're daughter is very well educated in this kind of field. It's amazing."
The girl blushed slightly. She was use to this kind of complement, but from a super hero, it was a special occasion.
"I grew up around these bikes. My father loved building them and customizing the one's he bought." She smiled, her father proudly smiling with her.
"It shows." Robin chuckled.
Starfire was trying to get Raven to smile when she saw Robin talking to the two family members. She felt a surge of anger and jealousy welling up inside her; her eyes starting to glow a brilliant green. Raven felt this strong emotion and rested a hand on her shoulder.
She asked, in her usual monotone, "Uh . . . Star, are you feeling ok?"
Starfire turned her head towards Raven, her eyes returning to there normal colors. "Raven, I am sorry. I do not know what came over me."
Raven gave her a suspicious look, "Maybe you're just getting a little bit scared. Every relationship has doubts after awhile of being together." She informed her.
"This is . . . normal?" Starfire asked, not sure what to think.
Raven nodded. They walked up towards Robin, the gentleman and young lady.
Beast Boy quickly approached Raven, as a small green bird. He chirped and whistled. She gave a faint smile.
"Hey Starfire. I was just looking at this! Isn't it a beauty?" Robin beamed.
"The girl or the land vehicle?" Starfire snapped, clasping her hands over her mouth.
Everyone was stunned; she looked at Raven and back at Robin. Seeing his face like that made her upset and she quickly flew out of the store and out of the mall.
Robin was left speechless, Raven was shocked, Beast Boy didn't know what to do and the girl was pretending to be hurt.
Robin gave a nervous chuckle, "Uh, sorry about that. She's not from Earth so she doesn't really understand everything about us yet. Sorry if she hurt your feelings Miss."
"Why was she so rude though? I thought Starfire was friendly." She looked at Robin.
Robin sighed, "She is. I mean friendly, but since we've been through a lot, she's kind of still dealing with some recent issues."
Raven shot Robin an angry glance, to the point where the girl saw it and she quickly retreated a few steps.
"We need to leave." Raven said harshly.
Cyborg was having the time of his life, well, for the first time in a very long time anyway.
"So you're really Cyborg?" One girl giggles.
"Yup." He paused, looking at his hands, "Well I was."
A long browned haired, dark skinned girl pushed the girl on his left side and took a seat next to him.
"So what are you going to do since you have no strength, or your famous arm laser?" She asked, sounding as though they'd been friend forever.
Cyborg was taken aback by this question. He hadn't thought about it before. How am I going to protect my friends? How am I going to battle with them? He looked at the girl who had asked the question.
"I don't know." He answered, still thinking on it.
"Well who cares. You're human now. So when are you going to pick me up for our little get together tomorrow night?" A blonde girl asked.
Cyborg smiled, blushing, "Uh, well how about at 8?" he asked.
"Sounds purr-fect." She said, rolling her tongue to make a kitten sound. "Here's my address and number. Don't forget to call." She winked as she got up to leave.
Nothing can ruin this day! Nothing! He thought. But boy, he thought wrong.
"I can't believe you told them that!" Raven said, trying to control her temper.
Robin outstretched his hands, "What else was I suppose to say!"
"Dude, you could have told them that she was possessed by a jealous spirit!" Beast Boy snapped, snickering to himself.
Robin rolled his eyes, "Ya, like there suppose to believe that!"
"At least it would have been better than telling them what you said!" Raven shot at him.
Robin froze, not believing that not only was she getting extremely mad, but that she agreed with Beast Boy about one of his ridiculous excuses.
Cyborg heard the three approaching him from behind. He turned around with a great big grin, but it soon was faced with a look of disappointment. I knew I shouldn't have said that. He thought.
"Hey ya'll! What's going on?" he looked around, "Where's Starfire?"
Raven shot a daggering glare at Robin and turned towards Cyborg, her eyes softening a little bit. "She left, and you should of heard the excuse that went flying out of this guy's mouth!" A string of her dark magic flew from her charka to a couple windows and broke them instantly.
Everyone ducked, except for Raven, whose eyes were glued to Robin.
"Maybe we should get out of here." Cyborg smiled nervously.
Terra laughed, "That is so funny!"
The guy she was with smirked. "Ya, it is, isn't it." He laughed too.
Terra took a delicate sip from her cup. She could feel this guys eyes staring at her. She looked up at him to find that he was, indeed, staring at her.
"What?" She asked jokingly.
The guy smiled, "How is it that a beautiful girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend?" he blushed, being honest.
Terra blushed, but also felt herself retreat within herself, "I almost did." She said sadly.
"May I ask what happened?" The guy looked both curious and saddened.
"I betrayed his trust and . . . left." She tried to smile, feeling tears wanting to flow out of her eyes. "I lost him over the time I was gone. David, I don't want to talk about it right now." She stated as nicely as she could.
David smiled, taking a napkin and wiping away a tear on her face. "That's fine. You don't have to tell me."
Terra and David were leaning in for a kiss when Beast Boy popped up next to her. He coughed loudly. David was mad, but didn't show it.
Terra turned her head towards Beast Boy, "What now?" She asked, as if he had been bugging her all day.
Beast Boy felt bad, he didn't mean to interrupt, but it was better than Robin marching over. "Terra, we gotta go. Starfire's upset and Raven's really mad."
Terra sighed, she turned to David. "I'll call you ok?" She smiled.
"That'd be great." He smiled back.
