Chapter Nine.

Author's Note: This chapter takes place one month after chapter three.

He couldn't believe it.

Beast Boy just couldn't believe it, Geo-Force and Raven had been seeing each other for over a month! BB hadn't even noticed it happening until Starfire let it slip to him.

Bryon and Raven had been going to a poetry cafe every week together, and The prince had even taken her to the Carnival! Raven's outward personality had changed little, unlike the incident with Melchior, but she had seemed a little... happier than before.

Beast Boy wondered if Raven and Geo dating was such a good idea. Oh, he wasn't jealous or anything, but BB remembered the pain he had experienced with Terra. "I hope Raven knows what she's doing." He thought to himself.

As BB walked walked down the hall, he heard voices coming out of Geo's room. Wondering who the prince could be speaking to, Beast Boy turned into a fly, and zipped underneath the door.

Inside, he found Bryon talking with someone through a strange looking communicator. "I am uncertain about what we are doing, perhaps we should just forget about our plan." The prince said into the communicator.

The voice on the other end replied back. "We can't do that, Markov. Don't let your feelings for the girl get in the way of your mission!"

Geo shook his head. "Of course... I will continue to spy on the Titans, Bryon out." He shut the communicator off.

Beast Boy flew back under the door, and changed back to himself. "Bryon's a traitor... just like his sister..."

BB suddenly became angry, furious at the fact that the Titans had let another Traitor onto their team. He was also angry that some was going to break Raven heart... again.

"Geo's going pay for this!" The shape shifter swore under his breath. He ran downstairs to tell the others.

In the living room, Cyborg and Robin were playing video games, while Starfire played with Silkie, and Raven meditated in the corner. Beast Boy suddenly came charging down the stairs.

"Guys, I just found out... Bryon's a traitor! He's been spying on us!"

Cyborg jumped to his feet. "What? You're kidding man, right?"

Starfire looked up. "Beast Boy, please tell us you are joking!" BB shook his head no.

Robin looked stunned. "No, I can't believe Batman would let a spy onto the team."

Everyone looked over at Raven. A look of sadness and shock spread over her face, then changed to a dark look of anger. What she said next surprised everyone.

"liar"

"Wh-what?" Beast Boy said in shock.

"Liar!" Raven yelled at him. "Bryon's no traitor! I would have sensed it if he was going to betray us! Do think I would let what happened whith Terra happen again?"

Beast Boy Became enraged. "Do you think I'd make something like this up, Rae? I heard him! He's a traitor!"

Raven stood up, shaking with fury. Her Eyes began to glow, and the TV set suddely exploded."Bryon would NEVER Betray me! NEVER!"

Raven and BB stood there, staring at each other in anger.

"What's going on here?" All eyes switched to Bryon, who was just now coming down the stairs.

Beast Boy. s fist flew directly at Bryon. s face, sending him flying back into the wall. "I knew it! I knew you'd betray us!"

Beast Boy was on top of the prince before he could even move, hammering him with punches. The other Titans stood back in stunned silence.

Bryon kicked BB off of him. "What's wrong with you?" The prince demanded. "Why are you doing this?"

Beast boy looked back at him in anger. "I heard you talking to that guy in your room! You were sent here to spy on us!"

Geo looked stunned. "I... uh..."

Before he could finish BB turned into a tiger, and pounced on Geo-Force.

The prince wrestled with the Tiger, then punched it in the
stomach. "Let's take this fight outside the city, where no one will be harmed!"

Geo grabbed his opponent, and smashed out the window, flying far out over the city.

"Come on, we gotta stop them!" Cyborg yelled, running out the door.

Starfire flew out after him. Raven was still standing there, totally silent.

Robin put his hand on her shoulder. "Come on, we gotta catch up with them! We'll sort everything out later!"

Rae nodded, and followed Robin out.

Geo-Force and Beast Boy landed in the desert outside of town. BB's tiger claws slashed into the prince, sending him flying backward into a rock wall.

"We trusted you! Let you join the team! And you turned on us, just like Terra did!"

Geo's eyes flashed red with anger. "DON"T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY SISTER THAT WAY!" He lava blasted Beast Boy, sending him flying back into a sand dune. "You were her boyfriend! You were supposed to protect her! And you couldn't even do that!"

BB turned into a Rhino, and charged Bryon, who flew up out of the way. "I tried to help her! We all did!" Beast Boy yelled back. "She pushed us all away!"

The prince used gravity to hurl a boulder at BB, who changed into a gorilla, and smashed it with his fist. "Liar!" Bryon Roared. "I'll make you pay for abandoning Terra!"

Bryon took to the air, and beast Boy morphed into a hawk, following him. The Hawk's talons slashed at Geo's face, cutting it open. "Agrraahhh!" The prince yelled in pain. He lava-blasted the hawk, sending BB into a tailspin.

As the two continued to fight, the other titans arrived on the scene.

"What should we do?" Starfire asked, uncertain.

"We should stop them from fighting, that's what!" Robin Replied.

As the two combatants charged at each other again, A starbolt came between them. "Please, my friends, that is Enough!" Star pleaded.

Cyborg grabbed Beast Boy from behind. "That's enough buddy, chill out!" After a moment, BB stopped struggling.

Raven stepped in front of Geo, looking him straight in the eyes. "Bryon...stop this. I will not allow you to hurt my friend. Unless you're willing to hurt me too."

The prince looked deep into her eyes, then backed down. Robin scowled at them. "Okay, we're going back to the Tower and Settling this... RIGHT NOW!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the Tower, Geo and BB sat on the couch, glaring at each other, while Robin paced the floor. "Okay, Geo-Force, Beast Boy has accused you of spying on the Titans. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Geo looked at all of thier faces, his eyes lingering on Raven's hopeful gaze for a few moments. He then closed his eyes, and Replied. "It is true...I was spying on the Titans."

"I KNEW IT!" Beast Boy's yell broke the silence. He grabbed Geo by the collar of his shirt. "You are a filthy traitor! Who are you Working for? ANSWER ME!"

Behind BB, Raven's eyes filled with tears. She had let her guard down, and had been betrayed agin. "How could I have been so stupid?" She thought to herself. She turned away, trying to hide the pain from her friends.

Just then, Robin stepped forward. "Put him down, BB. He's a spy, but he's no traitor."

Beast boy looked at robin in shock. "Dude, what the heck are you talking about? He just admitted-"

Robin put his hand up, silencing BB. " He's not a traitor, because he wasn't spying on us for an enemy." Robin looked back into the shadows. "You can come out now, I know you've been there for quite awhile!"

Out from the shadows stepped a large figure in a bat costume. "Planting a spy on the team to see if I'd learned from the Terra incident... very funny, very funny!"

Robin said shaking his head. "That was why Raven didn't sense any evil intent from Bryon, he was working for you all along!"

Raven stared at Batman for a moment, looked over at Geo, then quickly walked out of the Room.
