Chapter 2.
Everyone was stunned after watching Kole polish off her third plate of Starfire's "Glorg Supreme", save for the ecstatic alien. She giggled in her endearingly tinkling way and moved Kole's plate to the counter. "More?"
The pink haired girl managed to get herself up off her seat somehow. "No thanks Starfire, I think that's about enough for now." Beast Boy was completely stunned. "Dude! How many stomachs do you have? Star's got nine! You gotta have more than that!"
This seemed to tickle Kole, indicating her amusement by emitting a giggle similar to Starfire's. "I don't know what to say…thanks..?" This caused his green face to develop a slightly pinkish tone. "Uhh..you're welcome, I guess. Man, I never saw anyone eat Star's food like that since…" He stopped himself in time, his happy countenance replaced with one of possible regret for what he was about to say. Beast Boy then left the kitchen area for his room.
Kole raised an eyebrow at the shapeshifter's actions. "What got into him?" Raven blinked once. "Don't worry about it. Ancient history." She then left. This statement only succeeded in confusing Kole further, but she decided to let it go for the time being.
The other remaining Titans knew what caused Beast Boy to act the way he did as well and felt it was best that Kole discovered the reason for his behaviour on her own, if she felt it necessary.
In his room, Beast Boy sat on his bed, silent. He knew that he was told to move on, that things were different now and nothing could just stay the way it had always been. He sighed, still struggling with that fact. It was up to him to decide that this was the truth and it was about time to get on with his life.
Cyborg looked down, slightly uncomfortable with the awkwardness of what had recently happened. Beast Boy was his best friend and he could see that maybe something might be developing between him and Kole. He wanted BB to be happy, but was perfectly aware that his friend still had some issues to work out. "Don't worry, man…you can do it."
Robin and Starfire looked at each other, the alien girl's face showing some degree of confusion. "Perhaps Beast Boy is not pleased with Kole's eating habits?" Robin slightly smiled at her words. "No Star, it isn't that…he just…umm…Beast Boy just kind of didn't think before he spoke. He made himself feel bad without meaning to."
The confusion on Starfire's face was replaced with concern for her friend. "Oh…then I hope that he makes right that which upsets him…" The masked hero nodded. "The only person who can make it right is himself, Star."
Before the issue could be explored further, the alarm went off. Kole looked around at the flashing red lights and heard the sharp sound indicating that the Titans' services were needed. "So, I guess there's some kind of problem?"
Robin tapped some keys and the information on the disturbance revealed itself. "Mumbo. His performances are always bad and it's about time we gave him a real showstopper."
Beast Boy then came out after hearing the alarm, putting his problems behind him and concentrating on what he had to do. Raven followed soon after and when the five Titans were gathered, they began to head out until Robin stopped. "Kole, are you coming? It's only fair, since you are an honorary Titan. Your help could most likely throw Mumbo off-balance."
The girl ran to join them. "Sure, that would be great! Not a bad idea, he won't even see me coming!" Coincidentally or not, she had found herself standing beside Beast Boy.
