I'm so sorry it took so long to write, but I was busy with school work and stuff so I couldn't just complete it right off the bat. I think, with this chapter, I extended the story at least 3 chapters lol!
Thechilldude(me): see, my fans always come back!
random person: If they're really your fans, how come they don't move?
Thechilldude: that's because they're to concentrated on my perfect writing.
random person: you're so full of yourself
Thechilldude: No...I think I'm pretty hungry myself.
random person: You're such a qlorbag. (in case you didn't know, which I'm sure those of you who are teen titan fans, it means jerk in tamaranian. But why should that matter? I probably mispelled it anyways! LOL)
enjoy the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------
Raven and Beast Boy sat down on a bench nearby, recollecting upon themselves and what had happened all through the week. "You know, I don't really think I ever apologized for yelling at you the other day." Beast Boy thought out loud. "Well, if you had told me, none of this would've happened." Raven pointed out.
When Beast Boy looked at her funny, as if she had said something in spite of herself, that he'd be getting another kiss or even better, her, she looked away. "Not like that. . .I meant you wouldn't have left the Teen Titans."
"Oh, I see. So. . ." He pressed on, thinking a little further ahead. "What was it like kissing me for the first time?" Beast Boy asked. "Oh you didn't count the other one from your dream?" Raven asked. "Maybe you should look into my mind more. I have hundreds of dreams about you." Beast Boy said.
"Awkwardly, I'm not surprised." Raven chirped, and then calming down a little, before getting fired up again, "How come you had to hurt our team members so much though?" Beast Boy choked on his own air forcing itself into his lungs. "Well. I didn't want Slade to find out. Once I tore his plan apart, I was free of him."
Unbeknownst to the two titans enjoying each others company, for one of the first times, Slade was doing battle with Starfire and Robin, and the three of them danced on the arena, causing mayhem. Cyborg saw this event and raced to the rescue of his poor allies, who were getting than their share of damage.
Cyborg blasted his sonic cannon as he reared Slade. "You're plan was already foiled Slade, why come back!" Robin yelled. "On the contrary, Robin, I wanted Beast Boy to go back to you, and twice he did. The sucker couldn't choose what to do!" Slade snickered.
Starfire flew in and punched Slade out of Robin's way. Slade was punched back, and then shot out of Starfire's grip by the sonic cannon.
"Couldn't you go light?" Raven asked, a little more irritated. "Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight though. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Haven't you ever figured out love. When I shot you, I felt a pain inside me. But when you ignored me again, I wanted to get back at you."
"Why'd you have to do that with everybody? And twice?" Raven asked, persistent to show him he was as stupid as they come. "Raven. . .I did it ok. I already have enough pity in my stomach. When you kissed me, I decided no more side switching. That was just. . .killing everybody." Beast Boy said. "Yeah. . .you can just think about what you've done for a while, and I'll get back to you on that." Raven replied.
"Yeah, I think I'll let the team forget about it before I do anything that stupid again. I'll even resist joking for a while." Beast Boy said, hands clenched. He was nervous now, as if Raven was testing him to see if he was able to really come back, or they could risk him changing sides again.
Just then, Beast Boy and Raven both saw a crisp of star bolts and sonic cannon. They ran to the immediate area it came from. They saw Slade, back and at it as usual. Beast Boy and Raven both, separately in different paths, flooded up to Slade and began helping their friends.
Slade was beaten down. "Fine, I surrender." He said as he lain limp on the ground, unable to get up or as much as move. Just like that, they defeated Slade. Everyone, but Robin, was happy. Robin looked down to Slade and made a reference, "That was to easy, even for Slade." However, Slade was already taken away by the time he had made that remark.
---------------------------------------------------------
They all arrived back at the Tower. "So. . ." Cyborg began, "We decided since that you have been changing sides and all so much lately, we have to initiate a reentry for you. You have to prove to each of us that you belong with us Teen Titans. Starfire will go first, since she is so contemptuous anyways." She giggled a little as she flew to Beast Boy.
"Let us journey to the top." She said and heaved him all the way to the top. "You have to do two things for me. The first is to change yourself into the prettiest of all land animals." "You mean your favorite?" Beast Boy asked. She nodded.
Beast Boy changed into a tempting cat. His eyes, big, looked towards Starfire. He had the usual black stripes around his green fur. "Meow." The kitty said. Starfire burst into giggles. He changed back. "Ok what next?" Beast Boy asked.
"The next is you must never do this again and. . .You have to agree to the Guardian shake, in your language. On my home planet it would be called Frohtre Seal. You have to shake my hand and promise you never ever betray us again. If you do, you shall feel upon the wrath of all my peoples, as it is treason to break the seal. Of course it is treason to betray your friends anyways, but the leader decides that sort of stuff." Starfire explained.
"Ok. . .Lucky me that Robin's a nice guy." Beast Boy said, "Well, I never break my promises, what have I got to loose?" Beast Boy shook Starfire's hand. She said gleefully, "I've accepted you back as a member!"
Beast Boy walked back down for some lunch. Just Starfire's circumstances were already proving difficult for him. His brain couldn't take the pressure of Cyborg's and Robin's coming next. What about Raven's? Sure she had told him that she trusted him, but did she really mean it? I guess that kiss would've been a waste if not.
Beast Boy grabbed some lunch and sighed. He knew this was going to be a long day. He walked over to Cyborg. "So. . . Who's next?" Beast Boy asked, after finishing eating his bread and tofu ham. "Me." Cyborg stated, "Raven wanted to go last so. . .and she's the hardest one you'll have to convince." "That's reassuring." Beast Boy said.
"Ok Cyborg, let 'err rip!" Beast Boy said. "Ok Beast Boy, you sure you're ready for this?" Cyborg asked. "Uh. . .Sure!" Beast Boy replied.
"You have to beat me at a game of racing. Then I will tell you my last request." Cyborg said.
As always, Cyborg was hard to play against in racing. Beast Boy agreed to the terms, and challenged him to a match. It started out with Beast Boy winning, but after about two minutes, he was loosing fast. He was scared he was going to loose, but he didn't break his concentration, as if he was meditating like Raven usually did.
Starfire came down for some lunch, and along with her Raven trailed. They were as quite enough as it seemed, in their 'girl talk'. Neither of the boys turned to notice them there, as they were busy trying to beat each other.
Robin came down after practicing in the gym. He noticed that the two were playing, well at least for now. He knew that soon when Beast Boy came to him, he'd have to do something he would surely not like.
However, Robin told no one of his requests of what Beast Boy had to do. He contently watched as he picked up a baloney sandwich. Starfire asked Raven, "So Raven, do you wish later to go to the mall of shopping?"
"Sure Starfire," Raven replied after finishing her small meal, including herbal tea as her drink. Raven then left the room to meditate for a little while and Starfire went up to her room to get ready. So, each of them, in a sense, were getting ready for the mall.
Robin wiped the sweat away from his hand and took another bite, finally taking his eye off of Beast Boy for a little while. He was unsteady about him being here now. He was like a brother, but his latest actions have caused the whole team to shake a little. What would happen if he ran away from them again, like Terra had.
No, Robin suppressed that thought down. That couldn't happen, it was now that Beast Boy would be a part of the team like usual again. Slade was captured, and therefore Beast Boy had no one to turn to even if he fled.
With that, Robin finished his sandwich and walked on out of the room, leaving Cyborg and Beast Boy to deal with their matters. It was best if he didn't get in the way for the time being, letting Beast Boy have his fun.
It was a surprising half hour later when Beast Boy won. He was amazed at how close the match was. He was ahead by only one second. "You got lucky," Cyborg grunted. He hated loosing, but he had to admit, Beast Boy pulled of a good stunt in thrashing his car into the wall.
If it had really been his 'baby' he would have killed Beast Boy. Luckily for Beast Boy, it was only a game.
Cyborg said, "Now there's one last thing you have to do for me." Cyborg said. "Wax my 'baby' every day for one week with me. If you get just one scratch on her though, I'll kill you!" He yelled. Beast Boy gulped. "I'm sure that will be fun Cyborg. I have a question."
"Shoot," Cyborg roared happily. It would be a perfect time for him to say boo yah for getting Beast Boy back on his good side, but that would have ruined the moment and the question Beast Boy had.
"Do I have to complete yours before I can move on to another task such as Robins?" Beast Boy asked. "Well, I do have to say yes. But I'm sure you wouldn't want Robin to yell at you now anyways. That would only cause troubles. Like ruining my baby with all your frustration!" he beamed.
It seemed that Cyborg just wanted Beast Boy's troubles to last. So for the next week he helped wax Cyborg's 'baby' every day, making sure he would scratch his baby.
Beast Boy had noticed a decline in everyone's speech towards him. Every now and then, Robin would say hello, or occasionally Raven would blow a kiss, but that was only when no one was looking. Beast Boy, after a while of this happening, felt lonely again.
He returned to Starfire to seek gratitude he so desirably wanted, attention. Starfire gave him attention like no other sister would have. "Oh glorious Beast Boy, so you have finished your ordeals with friend Cyborg?" "Yeah," Beast Boy said after a death grip hug she gave him.
"Today was the last day and I managed to survive all week. This will be one heck of a month if it drags on though." Beast Boy continued. "Oh do not be alarmed Beast Boy, I am sure you will survive the Rathcorg." "The what?" Beast Boy asked.
He didn't know what it meant at all, and his meager mind didn't help a bit. "On my planet Rathcorg is the initiation to bring back traitors to our side. It is rarely done, and many of my people do not know what it means." Starfire explained.
That must've sucked, to not know the meaning of something on your own planet. Wait, thought Beast Boy, Do we know everything about our planet! That means we sucked! I'll just ignore that last comment. (it's not what you think really OO. I didn't mean it in a bad way.)
"So. . .I'm half way through, huh?" Beast Boy asked, loosing things to talk to about with Starfire. "I believe so friend Beast Boy, which is why you shouldn't give up now," Starfire exclaimed, jumping with joy that soon her titan friend would be accepted back as the titans. "I just hope I don't have to do what we made Cyborg do when he returned from the hive academy." Beast Boy stared at his hands.
That was a funny thought, when Cyborg had to wear a pink dress and eat a unicycle, and carry books. Of course he had told them all it wasn't really their initiation, but it wasn't as embarrassing with just his friends watching him, instead of the entire hive academy.
Beast Boy shuddered at the thought of having to be in a pink dress. He knew he was nice and all, but he couldn't wear a dress, or anything that is pink. He'd get about as much attention as he did when he was captured by that alien baby instead of the real pooch. Man was that the worst time of his life.
Returning to Starfire and her room, Beast Boy noticed that she had been staring at him with a worried look upon her face. He announced, "I guess I better leave and see what Robin has in store for me." "Do not be discouraged Beast Boy, your journey to being all of our friends again will not last much longer." Starfire returned.
Beast Boy walked on out, seeing as getting this done and over with as soon as possible was better than waiting it out. It was only 3 p.m. Beast Boy had a feeling that this was going to take longer than he wanted though, so he wasted no time, after reaching Robin's door, to knock.
Robin answered sheepishly, knowing that the time had come. He had regretted all week what he had planned out for Beast Boy, but Raven didn't let him back down from it. It was her who suggested they come up with an initiation for Beast Boy, and once agreed she wouldn't let Robin back out.
Beast Boy asked, "What do I do to make sure you trust me again?" He knew that this was the only way to get it done, as Robin would have been to scared to go through with it if he hadn't cut down to the chase. Robin had a sweat or two that dropped down his face before the anxiety left him.
"Follow me." Robin said, sending him to a room of seclusion, for he didn't want anyone to hear, especially not Cyborg through his ultra sonic ears. "So?" Beast Boy asked, not wanting to stall for any more time, seeing as how dinner was already approaching.
If it had been a week ago, Robin would have been a lot meaner. Right now, Robin couldn't summon up enough anger to show that he completely hated the fact that he left the team. Now, however, he had cooled off a little and couldn't completely show that he hated it.
"Beast Boy that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen anyone do!" Robin yelled as hard as he could, getting worked up and frustrated. In fact, it wasn't at all as loud as Beast Boy intended it to be, and so he lightened up a bit. "I don't want you to ever do it again. And let me remind you that Slade will only use you if you go back to him." Robin finished.
"Starfire already made me promise her I wouldn't. If I broke it, she'd kill me way before you got the chance to." Beast Boy said plainly. Robin almost laughed, when he remembered this was supposed to be an interrogation, not a chat.
"What happened to make you join Slade?" Robin asked, returning to seriousness. He wanted to know exactly what happened. "Well, first when I left the team, I went to a sad café' somewhere in Jump City. I quickly left that place, as it only made me cry. Then I kind of went on out of the city to escape myself from it. Then I found Slade.
"He offered me a painless life, but I soon found out it was just a trick, when I found Raven and shot her. I trusted so much in Slade that I still went on with the plans. Nothing changed, it was just I fighting for him." Beast Boy finished.
"Did you know what his plans were?" Robin asked. "As far as I know, he wanted me to end your lives, but I'm not sure anymore. Anyways you saw him, he surrendered to us. Just like that." Beast Boy said. Robin stood there, as if putting two and two together.
"I understand that he did, but he did it on purpose. He usually never gives up. I don't like saying it, but I am as determined as he, and that's never changed. And he never gave up to fight us before. There's got to be a reason for him surrendering. I-" Robin said, getting cut off by Beast Boy. "If Slade truly had another plan, he would've already unleashed it upon us, he gave up because he ran out of plans to use us with."
"I can't agree to you Beast Boy-" Robin declared, getting cut off by Beast Boy again. Bringing this up also brought up rage in Beast Boy. He didn't like Slade, and Robin was putting the blame on someone who was going to die any die from electrocution. "Robin, just give it a rest will you? Have some fun while he's gone, if he comes back we can take him down!"
Beast Boy's words stung Robin. As much as he wanted to make a comeback, Beast Boy was right. No matter what they went through, they could always bring down their opponents. So, Robin did the only thing he could think of, backing down. Beast Boy had proven that he was worthy of coming back, but that didn't tell Robin he could trust him.
"Just to make sure you don't leave us again, You have to stay in the tower for a week." Robin shrugged.
"Fine," Beast Boy replied.
So, Beast Boy left with that and watched TV until dinner. He ate and talked to no one, for he wasn't in the mood. Robin had set him in one of his bad moods.
For the next week, nothing much happened except a lot more battles came and Beast Boy wasn't able to help. They did not talk about it, for they knew the conditions he had to endure. Whenever they went out to eat, they'd return food for him. It was really annoying because he couldn't even go out and to the arcade.
When finally he was let outside he went to the arcade first thing. Two straight hours of fun, he had with nothing else on his mind. He then went and bought new clothes, just for him. This time of freedom was like a paradise after spending an entire week in the tower.
It had been so boring, doing nothing that seemed interesting. Was that his life, inside the tower? He hadn't done anything differently except for being unable to go outside. He hated being trapped up in there, but so far the ritual was going out perfectly.
He only had one person to prove his loyalty to the team to. Raven may trust him as a friend, but she obviously doesn't trust him as a team player anymore. That concerned him. What if she didn't lovehim anymore? He knew she never said anything about loving him, but he felt deep down she had the same feelings for him as he did for her. That kept him from being so loose about this next one.
"Cyborg was right, this is going to be more difficult than the others." Beast Boy told himself. This didn't help any, as Beast Boy was already hyperventilating from the significance of this ritual and Raven's trust in him as a team mate.
After he returned from the outside world, he steadily approached Raven, not to careful to bring it out all at once. He waited until after dinner to even bring up the suggestion of carrying the ritual out and completing it so he was a titan once more. The more and more he tried, the more nervous he became.
He made Starfire promise she would make him ask Raven for it, the completion of the ritual and the initiation. Starfire, indeed, carried out the promise as intended. It didn't help relieve the pressure on his chest. It wasn't exactly the same hurt he felt last time, for it was less intense. If she wanted to kill him, it would have been a long time ago.
Starfire knocked on Raven's door. She opened up just enough for her eye to poke through. "What is it?" She asked monotonously. Just as she said it, Beast Boy cringed. He didn't want to go through with this. He didn't want to be hurt again. Or was he just imagining things?
"Beast Boy has come to ask of you something." Starfire explained gleefully. "Come on in Beast Boy." She said, opening her door the rest of the way. It was as if she knew what was going on, which she probably did, since she can read minds anyways. "Sure." Beast Boy said, walking through to her room.
Starfire said, "Farewell Beast Boy, shall you return to us as a titan once more!" Starfire then left the two titans alone, as if Beast Boy wasn't a true titan already. "Well, we should go to Nevermore." Raven confirmed. "Why's that?"
"I believe it is only proper for what we are about to do." Raven stated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That totally sucks, man...such a cliff hanger! I'm sorry but I must put Beast Boy in more funny and humiliating situations before I'm done with him. :-P
