Chapter 7:Car Trip, Black Roses, and Misunderstandings
Speedy sat in the car, waiting patiently for Starfire to say her goodbyes.
'Now remember Speedster, this is just a car trip with another hot chick you're gonna win over. Make this go smoothly and she'll fall for you just like that.' Speedy checked his hair in the mirror and smiled. 'Perfect, you look just as fine as usual.'
She sat in, blew a kiss to everyone, smiled her dazzling smile, and waved good-bye. Speedy started the TE-car and drove them both down toward the sunset.
"Thank you friend Speedy, for taking your time to drive me to the eastern hemisphere. I am very grateful." Starfire said as they started driving down the road.
"Ahh," Speedy replied, "It's no big, we're really happy that you were able to down to help us out. That guy was like, seriously bad. Hopefully, we'll be able to take him down with you helping us."
Starfire smiled at him and he couldn't help but return the favor.
At Titans Tower.. .
They all stood watching the car drive down the road. Cyborg's arm started to make staticky noises and then Bee's face appeared on his small screen.
"Hey Sparky," Bee called out. Cyborg blushed and looked at the suspicious glances his teammates were giving him.
He muttered, "I gotta take this," before he dashed into the tower. Beast Boy and Robin started snickering but Raven glared at them to shut them up. Robin cleared his throat and went inside the tower leaving the two alone. Beast Boy smiled a hesitant smile and Raven gave him a face of grimace. She teleported herself to her room and left him alone. Beast Boy smiled knowing that his plan can still be put into action.
"Anyways, what was that Cy?" Bee asked when Cyborg entered the tower.
"Nothing, it's just, I didn't want them to listen in on a private conversation." He replied.
"Why not? It's not like you like me or anything…right?"
"This isn't why you called me right? I mean, we got better and other things to discuss right?"
"What the hell Cyborg? If you don't like me Sparky, you could've just said that instead of saying crap."
"Who said I didn't like you?"
"Well you seemed to make it pretty clear to me."
"Well what if I liked you but I was afraid that you didn't like me back."
"PUH-LEEEZ. Why would a playa like you be scared of getting liked back?"
"Well this playa is different now. I want to be in a real relationship."
"This is sooo funny. What? You think that I'm easier to get into bed with you or something?"
"BEE I'M SERIOUS! Dang, why don't you understand that?"
"Well WHAT IF I'M SCARED OF A RELATIONSHIP!"
"WELL YOU'LL BE WITH ME SO WHY WOULD YOU BE SCARED?"
"I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT CY!"
"I WOULDN'T HURT YOU BEE! TRUST ME ON THAT! CAN'T YOU GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD THAT I LIKE YOU!"
"CAN YOU GET IT THROUGH YOUR MECHANICAL HEAD THAT I'VE BEEN LIKING YOU!"
"WELL I GUESS WE'RE GOING OUT NOW AREN'T WE?"
"OH I'M PRETTY SURE WE ARE. LATER BOYFRIEND." Cyborg and Bumblebee turned off their screens and then stomped away. They both stopped at the same time, slapping their foreheads realizing, as of now, that they were officially a couple.
"Well, that's not how I pictured it would happen." They both said to themselves and went to whatever they were going to do that day.
Beast Boy was quiet for a really long time and Raven started to wonder what he was doing.
'Wait, what am I doing? I'm supposed to be mad at him.' She thought to herself. Raven started to wonder why she was mad at him again but brushed it off. After a few minutes, a piece of paper slid under her door. She used her powers to pick it up and held it in her hands. She hesitated, deciding if she should open it or not. Figuring it was from Beast Boy, she probably expected a small goofy face, or a picture of him trying to be funny. But when she opened it, she found a small picture of a black rose bud. She went out her door and saw another piece of paper a few feet ahead of her. She opened it she saw the same black rose bud, but in a bouquet of pink, white, yellow, red, blue, and purple roses.
She started walking toward the path where she found the piece of paper and soon found another one. It was a picture of a hand picking up the black rose bud, then it being thrown onto the ground. She kept walking and soon found another piece of paper at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the roof. It was the same picture as the other one except that the hand held on to black rose bud while the bouquet was being thrown onto the ground.
She walked up the stairs and took the envelop off the door. She opened it and saw that it was a beautiful sketch of a black rose bud that had bloomed. She opened the card and it read:
You can't but help to wonder what a black rose bud will look like when it shall blossom, what secrets it holds…put it in a bouquet of colorful roses and many will pick it out and ignore it. But pick it out with such care ness, watch it blossom, and you'll realize that you've picked out a rose like no other, one in which unveils its beauty that you can only find once in a lifetime.
I'm sorry Rae, please forgive me? I love you too much to ever upset or hurt you…
Beast Boy
She had tears in her eyes as she re-read the card, over and over. (Over time, she had learned how to control her powers…and is working on anger right now. :D) She opened the door and gasped. Beast Boy was standing in the middle of the roof with a bouquet with black roses with a small tint of blue in them and around him was blue and black rose petals spread out everywhere. There was a table near the edge of the roof and this whole scene was breath-taking to Raven. She looked over to Beast Boy, and then ran over to him, giving him the biggest hug she's ever given him.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you Rae," he whispered.
"No, no, I'm sorry for being mad at you. It's just, when you said that, it brought back bad memories for me, and it just.."
"I know, I'm sorry for hurting you. But no matter what, you're the most beautiful person that I've seen."
"Thank you Beast Boy, I love you .. ."
"I love you too Rae, no matter what." She looked up and smiled at him. She leaned up and gave him a kiss and he smiled back when they broke apart. He gave her the bouquet of roses and she loved them immediately. He led her over to the table to where they would eat, overlooking the view of the ocean. They simply enjoyed this night, enjoyed being in each other's presence…enjoyed loving each other.. .
In the Car..
It was getting dark and traffic was bad. Speedy groaned in frustration and Starfire was looking up at the sky (fromthe window).
"How are we to get over to the eastern hemisphere if the roads are too crowded?" Starfire asked.
"We'll get there how I came here. We're going to like, 'hover' the ocean. Does that sound okay Starfire?" he asked.
"It sounds wonderful friend!" she smiled and soonshe and Speedywere over the ocean on their way to Steel City.
Speedy put the car on autopilot then went to the backseat to get something.
Starfire gasped. "Friend speedy!" she called.
"Yeah Starfire? What's wrong?" he answered.
"The car! It is driving by itself! I have seen friend Cyborg let go of the wheel of steering before but I have never seen him get out of his seat!"
Speedy chuckled as he got what he wanted and got back to the drivers seat.
"I put it on 'autopilot' Starfire. That means, I put it on a function where you tell where the car should navigate and it'll go to exactly where you tell it to. Cyborg built it for us when he was at our tower."
"Oh how fascinating!"
"Sure, let's go with that. Want a chip?"
Speedy held out a bag of potato chips. "They're goood."
Starfire giggled at his offering.
"Robin has given me one before and they were quite enjoyable," she said as she took one out of the bag. "This is one of the very few foods friends Cyborg and Beast Boy share in fact; Robin and friend Raven just tell me that they are what you call 'idiots'." (A/n: chips arent necessarily meat and tofu so they could share those right? besides, chips are good :)
Speedy laughed at her small story and she gave him one of those heart-melting smiles.
'Damn, she's so hot.' he thought.
"So, friend Speedy, do you have a girlfriend?" Starfire asked.
"Nah, I don't have time for all of that. I can't anyone interfere with saving peoples' lives."
"Oh friend Speedy, you are just like Robin. Putting your work before yourself. I hope that you shall find someone who will help you realize that it is alright to take some time off your work."
"Thanks Starfire." They both drove in silence before Speedy spoke up.
"Well Starfire, welcome to Titans East Tower."
Starfire squealed in excitement. "Let us hurry and greet our friends Speedy!" She grabbed her pink backpack and flew towards the entrance.
'Well, things seem to be going well. I'm guessing byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy the third week, she'll fall in love with me. Besides, who couldn't?' Speedy thought smirking while he grabbed her suitcases from the trunk and headed towards the entrance.
Back to Titans Tower.. .
'Man, one month. She's only been gone a few hours and I miss her a lot.' Robin thought to himself while walking to his room. He opened the door and found someone sitting there. He quickly went into a fighting stance but then realized who it was.
"Oh. Whew, hey Babs, what brings you here?" Robin sighed as he closed the door. Barbara was sitting against his headboard on top of his bed in just black shorts and a long pink t-shirt.
"Richard, I think we should talk."
"Okay…?"
"Why are you even with that alien? If she was a human, I would have understood. But an alien! Richard, I can tell she's up to no good." Barbara crossed her arms and waited for an answer.
"Babs, are you jealous?"
"NO. I'M TRYING TO WATCH OUT FOR YOU. I care for you Rich. A lot. Like, you don't even know. And I just don't trust her."
"I know you care for me Babs, and I care for you too," Robin walked over and sat next to her on his bed continuing, "but sometimes, you got to let some people handle stuff ontheir own." His words stung Barbara, but then she felt some anger well up inside of her because he was being stupid (in her case).
"Richard, I think you misunderstood, I said I care for you, a lot. Like you don't even know. So doesn't that ring a bell to you?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, so does that mean you feel the same way about me?" Babs looked at him and then glanced away quickly, trying to look 'innocent'.
"Of course I do,you're family; my big sister. Just don't worry, Starfire and I are in love and nothing's going to change that. So no, I didn't misunderstand. Anyways Babs, I'm gonna go take a shower now so, I'll see you in the morning. Thanks for being that caring big sister you've always have been." Robin went to his bathroom and Barbara just sat there; shocked. But her shock was replaced by anger and she soon left his room.
'Great, the alien slut rubbed her stupid-ness offon him. Whatever, I still have a month to go…besides, what's just one misunderstanding? No big. He's gonna love me. I'll make him.'
