"Would you stop pacing?" Raven asked slightly irritated as Beast Boy walked past her for the 70th time. He had been walking circles around the couches, deep in though until Raven interrupted.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Rae," he said plopping down on one of comfortable couches. He and Raven were the last ones awake, the rest of the Titan's had gone to bed. Beast Boy stared at one of the candles flickering, they too had set up candles as the power went out. He had been brainstorming about a plan to win Terra back for good. He had asked all of the Titans earlier in the day on advice.
"You must give her the gifts girls always adore!" Starfire told him excitedly. "The chocolates, and the flowers that are red!"
"Roses?" Beast Boy asked blinking.
"Yes!" Starfire said nodding happily. "And wonderful poetry!" she said sneaking a glance at Robin, who was bent over tying his shoe.
"No no no!" Cyborg chimed in. "You gotta have a big, fancy car," he said puffing out his chest. "Girls love cars," he said.
"I must agree friend!" Starfire said shaking her head, and the two had a friendly argument about it and Robin looked up at his fellow green team-mate.
"It's not about the chocolates or poetry or cards," he said putting his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder in a fatherly way. "It goes down to how you feel about the girl, and weather she likes you back," he said with a small nod. "If she does, she won't care about gifts or anything like that, those are bonuses, what she should really care about is you, spending time with you," he said and then mysteriously headed back off to train.
"So, what do you think?" Beast Boy asked Raven after telling her about the other Titan's opinion on the Terra issue were. Raven's lip curled a bit. Though she and Terra still weren't 'friends' they were on silent agreement no longer to fight, but Beast Boy knew Raven was still a little stiff about talking about her.
"I'd say Robin had the best answer." she said flatly.
"So, think I should just, ask her to hang out, something simple?" Beast Boy asked tilting his head slightly.
"If you want," she said in her monotone voice, then smirked the slightest. "But you've got a little fork in the road,"
"What's that?" he asked quickly.
"Speedy,".
Beast Boy's fists bunched up slightly and he closed his eyes tightly, and then let out a breath. He had almost forgotten. The archery that shared the same crush as him on Terra. And with the two Titans living in the same tower, he saw her much more, and had more opportunities. But she would never like a scumbag like him...would she? Beast Boy thought self consciously. He had casually asked Aqualad and Bumblebee what Speedy's reputation with the ladies was, and it certainly beat his. But Beast Boy still had the plan in the back of his mine to watch him one day. See how he acted with Terra in a group, alone, and see how she re-acted back.
"What does anybody see in that guy anyways?" the green titan grumbled. "He's a cocky little pretty boy, that's what," he said before Raven could answer.
"I suppose he must have...a certain charm," Raven said enthusiastically, and Beasy Boy smirked.
He yawned suddenly. "But I think it's time to hit the old dusty trail," he said and Raven nodded in agreement and stood up at the same time as the siren went off, and the two suddenly became alert and Robin came running in.
"Titans! Trouble!" he announced and Starfire and Cyborg both charged in as well, and Cyborg was examining the small monitor on his left arm. "Target locked," he said without looking up. "Down at the old factory," he said and the Titans nodded and jumped into action. Robin got onto his fancy motorcycle, Raven and Starfire flew above and Beast Boy transformed into the a pterodactyl and picked up Cyborg and followed after the rest of the team, grumpily wondering who was causing trouble at this time in the night. He was determined to beat this villain quickly so he could get home to sleep, but little did he know it wouldn't be so easy.
