I do not own the Teen Titans. Wow I actuall did that one subconciously. Well anyways I'm got some more great ideas to keep this storyline going for a very long time. And plenty more Random Chuck Norris facts, such as : Chuck Norris likes to knit sweaters in his free time. And by "knit", I mean "kick", and by "sweaters", I mean "babies". And now the next chapter my dear colleages.
Chapter 4: Please listen to me.
Kevin and Raven had already arrived back at the Tower and Kevin had gone down to the gym to train. Not because he was angry, but because he wanted to test out his new arm and leg. The doctors had checked and rechecked his parts to make sure everything was running smoothly, now he wanted to test how much he could push them. He destroyed three punching bags and two tredmills in a half an hour.
"Wow these thing are great. They are way more durable than my old ones. And they are a lot lighter too." Kevin said as he threw out a couple of punches.
"Jeez Kevin break enough things?" Beast Boy said in a sarastic tone as he Cyborg and Robin came into to see Kevin.
"Yeah sorry about that. I'll fix'em later. So what you guys need?" Kevin asked.
"We just came to see how your doin. I mean your were feelin pretty down before you left." Robin said.
"I just had a lot on my mind." Kevin said tilting his head.
"You wanna talk about it man? We'll listen." Cyborg asked.
"I don't think I'm ready to talk about it right now. I just need some more time." Kevin said.
"Well whenever your ready to talk, we'll listen." Robin said. While the guy's were in the gym all the girls were in the living room. And Starfire and Terra were gocking at Raven's new necklace that Kevin had made for her.
"Wow that looks so beautiful." Terra said looking at the raven necklace.
"And Kevin made this?" Starfire said.
"Yeah. He gave it to me yesterday." Raven said.
"I wish Robin would do something like this for me...I mean." Starfire said.
"What, we all know you like Robin." Terra said.
"Is it really that obvious?" Starfire asked.
"A little bit." Raven said. "And what about you Terra, you and Beast Boy doing anything?" Raven asked.
"Well no not really. He still a little scared to ask me out again." Terra said with a small smile on her face.
"Well don't worry about it I'm sure they will ask you out soon." Raven said. And right when she finished her sentence the alarm rang. The other's quickly got into the room to see what was happening.
"Looks like another bank robery." Robin said looking at the information on the computer.
"Again?" Beast Boy said in an annoyed tone.
"All right Titans let's move out." Robin said as the all ran to the outside. Since the bank wasn't far away they decided to fly there.
The HIVE members were trashing the bank and were stealing as much bags of cash that they could carry. And with Gizmo's gadgets and Mammoth's strength they seemed to have a lot of bags.
"Can we hurry this up, there gonna be here any second." See-More said.
"Calm down that's what she want's anyway." Mammoth said throwing some more bags of cash into a truck that Gizmo made. It was desighned to carry massive amounts of weight and items. It looked like a mini version of an armored truck.
"I till don't see the point." See-More said crossing his arms.
"That's funny cause you seem to have enough eyes." Kevin said landing on the ground as all the other's landed with him.
"Hey there here." Mammoth yelled. Two seconds later Gizmo came running out of the bank on his legs and not the mechanical ones.
"Run away." Gizmo said trying to find some cover.
"Wow there running from us already?" Beast Boy said looking around.
"Were not running from you greeny." Mammoth said finding some cover for himself.
"Then who are they runninng from?" Cyborg said. Then from the smokeing front of the bank came Jinx dragging a man who was crying and yelling for her not to hurt him.
"Shut up!" Jinx yelled as she punched him in the face knocking him out cold. "You!" She yelled looking right at Kevin.
"Wow she looks pissed." Terra said.
"And I think I know why." Kevin said to himself. The HIVE members were the first to attack as Jinx went straight after Kevin.
"I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to Alex." Jinx yelled unleashing a horde of hex bolts.
"Kevin." Raven said before she was attacked by Private Hive.
"You should worry aboout yourself." He said launching his shield at her like a boomerang. It barley grazed by her as he drove past her on his motorcycle as she flew into the air to dodge him. The other HIVE members were on the move now as Mammoth and Cyborg were attack each other matching each other blow for blow. Cyborg would get in a punch then Mammoth, then Robin jumped in hitting him with a flkash grenade blinding him. Cyborg took this chance and hurled Mammoth into the side of a building. Starfire was fighting See-More as he shot at her with his laser eye attachment from his helmet.
"OOOhhhh I like'em feisty." He said as he launched another laser hitting her in the chest.
"You for a guy with a lot of eyes, your pretty easy to sneak up on." Terra said launching a bunch of large Rocks at See-More hitting him in the head breaking one of his eye's.
"I'm gonna kill you." Jinx said as she flung more and more hexbolts at Kevin. He was doing his best to dodge the attacks and each one was getting closer and closer.
"Wait let me explain." Kevin said.
"I don't want to hear it." Jinx said as she continued to attack. Kevin then made a wall in front of himself to block a hex bolt.
"Man, she is out for blood...but I don't blame her." Kevin said to himself as Jinx leaped above the wall launching another attack. Kevin quickly rolled out of the way befor a hex bolt hit him directly on the head. Beast Boy was having a little difficulty with Gizmo. The small guy could move that's for sure, and he kept dodging Beast Boy's every attack. Then Beast Boy turned into a flying squirle and latched himself onto Gizmo's face.
"Get off a me you freak!" Gizmo yelled as he tried to get him off. Cyborg then came in and blasted Gizmo with his sonic cannon, after he and Robin finaly knocked out Mammoth. Kevin was still trying to explain everything to Jinx, but she wasn't giving him a chance.
"Please let me explain." Kevin pleaded doding a kick aimed for his head.
"Explain what, how you killed Alex." Jinx yelled continuing her attack.
"But that wasn't my fault." Kevin said dodging yet another hexbolt.
"And why not. I saw what happened. You attacked him, and you kept hitting him even after he was down. You kept hitting him." Jinx yelled at him. Kevin heard this and paused for a moment. Jinx took this chance and threw out another hexbolt. Kevin managed to dodge the front of the blast but it grazed his right arm opening up a cut. Blood slowly started to flow out as he continued to dodge, not because he couldn't get a hit, but because he wanted to explain what happened. He had to stop her from attacking him if he was able even going to explain himself. He quickly dodge another hex bolt as he moved in grabbing the arm she had extended and twisted it behind her back, he then grabbed her other arm and did the same.
"Get off of me." Jinx yelled as she struggled to get out. But Kevin had a perfect grip and she wasnt getting loose.
"Now your going to listen to me. I never wanted to hurt Alex, he was my best friend." Kevin said.
"Then why did you abandon him when you were kids. He told me how you ran away, and how he was bullied everyday." Jinx said still trying to get loose.
"I know and that was my fault, but I never wanted to kill him. You have to understand me, to understand why it happened. Did he ever tell you about the problem that I have with anger. When it happens I can't control what I do. I didn't even know it happened until I regained conciousness. I black out everytime it happens, I can't even remember what happens." Kevin said tears starting to start in his eyes.
"I don't want to hear any of your excuses or lies." Jinx said. Kevin then let go of Jinx. Jinx was about ready to attack him again.
"Jinx stop right there." Robin said as the other Titans were standing behind her but keeping there distance.
"Wait guy's I need to handle this alone." Kevin said. Jinx just stood there, she then hit Kevin in the face. He just stood there and let it happen.
"You killed him." Jinx said silently she kept saying this as she continued to hit Kevin only not as strong. She started to break out in tears as she continued to hit Kevin in the chest with her fists. She fell to the ground continuing to cry. Kevin then knealed in front of her.
"I am truly sorry for what I did. And I know you can probably never forgive me. But I never wanted that to happen. If I could I would switch places with Alex, but I can't. I'm sorry." Kevin then got up and walked over to the others. "Let's go guys." Kevin said.
"What was all that about?" Robin asked.
"Well...I don't really want to tell you here. Let's go back to the Tower. The cops can handle this." Kevin said walking a little past them and taking to the air Raven following.
"Are you going to tell them?" Raven asked putting a hand onhis shoulder.
"Yeah, they need to know what happened." Kevin said as he flew back towards the Tower.
Kevin and Raven had arrived at the Tower first. Kevin had been pacing around the living room thinking of how he was going to tell them what happened.
"Don't worry everything's gonna be alright. You shouldn't worry." Raven said trying to calm him down.
"I don't know Raven, I mean I killed him. That's big, real big, I don't know if they'll except me after this." Kevin said continuing to pace the room. The other's then walked into the room a few of them worried about what Kevin needed to talk about. "Good your here." Kevi said as he stopped pacing.
"What did you wanna tell us?" Robin asked.
"We shoud sit for this." Kevin said as he moved to the couch. Raven took a seat next to him for support as the others found there seats. "Ok what Im about to tell you I should have probably already told you." Kevin then took a deep breath and let it out. "When I came back from my visit at my house awhile back, I wasn't entirely truthful with you guys. I was attacked by Alex, but that wasn;t the only time he did." Kevin said.
"You mean he attacked you twice." Beast Boy said.
"Yeah, but that's not the worst part about it. He was destroying everything and people were getting hurt. He didn't even care about the people around him, he just wanted to kill me. But then he shot my Max before I could stop him. I did manage to heal him, but then I just don't know what happened. I just got angry and I blacked out, when I came to I..I..I killed Alex." Kevin said lowering his head. Everyone was in compleate shock after Kevin said this.
"How did it happen?" Starfire asked.
"I don't know, when I came too I was over his dead body and I checked to see, but he stopped breathing. I panicked and I was scarred. I ran away before anyone saw me." Kevin finished. Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this. "I'll understand if you want me to leave, I can't make up for the fact that he's dead, but I really needed to tell you guy's. I would rather want to tell you thenm you finding out for yourselves." Kevin said as he stood up, everyone else stood up too.
"Wait Kevin. You don't have to leave." Raven said.
"Everyone we have to have a meeting." Robin said.
"And I can't be present at this can I?" Kevin asked.
"No, I'm afraid not. Your going to have to wait for us to finish and I'm pretty sure you figured out why already." Robin said.
"Yeah, but I compleatly understand, and I will agree with whatever you say." Kevin said as he started to walk out of the room. "I'll wait in my room till you reach a decision." Kevin said as he walked out of the room.
"Do we really have to do this?" Raven asked.
"You know as well as I do that we do. Now lets all meet in the meeting room in five." Robin said as he walked out of the room.
Everyone had gathered in a room with a circular blue table. Evryone had taken a seat and were patiently waiting for someone to speak.
"Well we all know why were here." Robin said, everyone nodded there heads. "Ok now we have to make the decision to whether Kevin can stay here or not. But forst we have to go over everything before we make a decision." Robin said.
"But it wasn't his fault." Raven explained. "He couldn't control his anger."
"I don't really know much about this whole anger problem, yes he told us about it but I have never seen it for myself." Robin said.
"I have and believe me he's like a compleatly different person." Beast Boy said. "Not to mention a whole lot stronger, he barely touched me and he flung like nothing."
"Yes I too remember that as well, and when he came too he was afraid that he hurt us. I do believe he never meant any harm to any of us." Starfire said.
"Well from the sound of it, it sounds pretty dangerous." Robin said putting his hands together and placing them under his chin.
"But he wouldn't hurt us." Raven said.
"We don't know that for sure, remember what he said, he can't control what he does when he's like that. What would happen if that happened here." Robin said.
"I don't think it would, unless someone made him mad." Raven said.
"She has a point, Kevin's never mad here, I mean he's actually pretty mellow." Terra said.
"And he always tries to get me and Beast Boy to stop arguing over video games and other stuff like that." Cyborg said.
"And what about all the good he's done. He saved Starfire when she was shot by Alex, remember." Raven said.
"I think we can all remember that." Robin said looking at Starfire.
"And he saved Terra too." Beast Boy said.
"And not to mention he saved your butt too, remember Alex almost shot you too." Cyborg said.
"He nearly sacraficed himself to stop Trigon as well." Starfire pointed out.
"Well we can all agree that he has done many good things, but we also have to look into what happened to Alex, and the fact that this could happen again. I think we can all agree a vote would be the best way to settle this." Robin finished.
"Well you know my answer." Raven sai as she stood up. "Now if you excuse me I'm going to go see if Kevin needs any support." Raven said as she started to float out of the room.
"Raven we know your still a little new to the whole open emotion thing, but you still need to now when to put your emotions aside. You should know that better than anyone." Robin said.
"You don't think I already know that." Raven said as she left the room.
"Well let's all come to a decision then." Robin said.
Raven had been floating through the halls to Kevin's room and still thinking about what Robin said. He was partially right she still needs to work on her emotions, but she still loved Kevin. No one really talked to her like he did. Whenever she was alone everyone thought it was best to just leave her be. But Kevin would always try to strike up a conversation. He would always asked if she was alright, or wanted to talk. And he always seemed interested in everything about her, her books, her meditation, and why she never really talked to everyone else. Kevin always said that she needed to talk to other's more often. Raven had reached Kevin's door and knocked.
"Kevin are you there?" Raven asked. There was no answer so she opened the door. When she walked in Max ran over to her and started to wag his tail. "Hey Max." Raven said looking around for Kevin. His room looked so empty. All he had was a desk, a bed, and a picture of his mother. There was a backpack in the corner of the room and a photoalbum on the desk, and next to the photoalbum was a note. She looked at the note that read: "Went to the roof to meditate, need to think." Raven put the note down and left the room and headed for the roof. When she reached the top she saw Kevin in a indian style sitting position floating in the air. She slowly started to float towards him.
"Hey Raven. Wanna join me?" Kevin asked.
"How did you know it was me?" Raven asked sitting next to him and floating in the air.
"I could tell from the way you smell." Kevin said his eyes still closed.
"What does that mean." Raven said lifting her eybrow.
"Don't worry it's a compliment. I like the way you smell, it's calming." Kevin said reaching for her hand. Raven placed her hand inside his as they floated there and cleared there minds. Raven reapeating her chant and Kevin saying words that Raven could not hear.
"Kevin what do you say when you meditate? I see your lips move, but I can never hear what you say." Raven asked.
"I try and think of all the scientific principles of energy and I review them in my head. It helps when I need to use my powers, especially when I need to create something." Kevin said as he continued his mumbling. "Hey Raven, thanks for stickin by me. Really means a lot to me." Kevin said.
"What else was I going to do abandon you. What kind of girlfriend would that make me?" Raven said.
"A bad one." Kevin answered.
"That was a retoricle question." Raven said.
"I know." They continued to meditate untill Kevin stoped floating and opened his eyes. "Hey guy's." Kevin said standing up, sensing that the other's were behind him. He was right as Raven stood next to him. "So what's the verdict?" Kevin asked.
"Well we thought over ever possible conclussion and went over everything that has transpired. And we came to a unanimous decision." Robin said.
"You mean.." Kevin said with a smile on his face.
"Yep, you can stay." Robin said.
"Yeesss!" Kevin said leaping into the air.
"We feel that you really didn't mean to kill Alex, and we feel you can do a lot more for the team." Robin said.
"Besides we still owe you a bunch for saving Terra." Beast Boy said.
"Thanks guy's, this really mean's a lot to me. I still have to find a way to forgive myself for what happened. And I still wanna apoligize to Jinx, I just hope that I can work through this." Kevin said. Everyone was a little quite untill Terra spoke.
"So who's hungry." Terra said rubbing her hands together. Everyone agreed to this.
"So what's for eat's?" Beast Boy asked.
"How about some five alarm chili." Kevin suggested.
"I'm in for some of that." Cyborg said.
"And don't worry Beast Boy I'll make some veggie chili too." Kevin said as they all walked into the Tower. Kevin felt a little better that he had great friends to help him through what lies ahead.
