I do not own the Teen Titans. But one day when the world is mine that will change, oh yes it will all change. "They say that laughter is the best medicine. I guess that's why a lot of my family died of Bronchitis."- Jack Handy.
Chapter 6: Best regards
The Titans and Jess were all relaxing at the Tower. Kevin and Jess were playing with Max and Silkie, and Raven was just glaring at them, they didn't notice though. They kept playing fetch with Max for a while. They would fake him out as Max would run when Kevin acted like he threw the ball, and Max would go looking for it when he had it in his hand.
"So how are your parent's doing?" Kevin asked as he threw the ball for Max.
"Great, there marriage is back together and there happier than ever. They miss you some times, you never visited like you said you were going to." Jess said.
"Well that's because I've been movin a lot. I wanted to see as much of the world as I could. And besides I found this place. I mean yeah there are constant attacks from a bunch of villains, but it the same dumb one's over and over again so it's pretty fun. Well except for this guy Slade." Kevin said taking the ball from his dog and throwing it again.
"Who's Slade?" Jess asked.
"He's this really bad dude. He tried to help a demon end the world, he set my leg on fire, oh and he stole my powers." Kevin said.
"How did he steal your powers?" Jess asked.
"Well what he did is he took a sample of my blood and took the metahuman chromosomes from my DNA. Then he extracted that and put it himself somehow and now he has all of my powers. Oh and he kidnapped Max just to brag about how he did it." Kevin said. He then started to rub Max's head. "But he couldn't keep ya long could he boy." Kevin said to Max.
"Wow he sounds like a really bad guy." Jess said.
"Oh trust me he is." Terra said. "He made me betray my friends, which I still regret." Terra said.
"Oh common Terra, don't put yourself down. You still stopped him." Beast Boy said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"How did you stop him?" Jess asked.
"Threw him in lava." Terra said.
"So how is he still alive?"
"Well you know that demon, he brought him back to life. So now he's hell-bent on getting an "apprentice" to pass down his knowledge, or whatever." Kevin said.
"What about the demon?" Jess asked.
"We stopped him, well more like Raven stopped him. Although I nearly died trying." Kevin said.
"Nearly died! How?" Jess was a little worried at this.
"Well I kinda did something really stupid and took all the energy in my body, not to mention some of there's, and everything around me to try and stop him. I made a giant energy ball and threw it at him hoping it would kill him, but it didn't. And well I told them to get to safety, but I wasn't able to escape the blast in time. Although I did manage to get far enough away to where it didn't kill me. But I was in a coma for a week, and I broke a lot of bones in my body. But hey you know what they say, any landing you walk away from." Kevin said.
"Well at least your alright that's the important thing." Jess said. "Hey where's the bathroom in this place?" Jess asked.
"Just go down the hall and to the left, go about three doors down and you'll see a door on the left. There should be an empty room there and you can use the bathroom in there." Cyborg said. Jess left the room and Kevin headed over to Raven.
"Well she seems...nice." Raven said not looking at Kevin.
"Yeah she is pretty nice...wait you seemed angry just now. What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
"Ever since she's been here you've barley talked, let alone mention me." Raven said in a whisper.
"Oh common. I mean yeah I am sorry about that, but I haven't seen her in like two years. Besides I still love you, you know that. Listen I'll make it up to you we can do what ever you want tomorrow. You name it. I'll take you anywhere, do anything you want. You name it it's yours." Kevin asked trying to cheer up Raven.
"Okay, but whatever I want." Raven said.
"Anything. I am but a humble slave of a man to your beauty." Kevin said giving her a kiss.
"What did I say about flattery?" Raven said.
"Hey can't blame me for tryin." Kevin said as Jess came back into the room. "Find the bathroom alright?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah. Man how many rooms are in this place?" Jess asked looking around at the room.
"A lot, trust me." Cyborg said. "There are some that aren't even used like the studies downstairs. Plus we have gym, a swimming pool, and whatever else I feel like building." Cyborg explaining his handiwork and bragging slightly.
"So which room am I stayin in?" Jess asked.
"You can just pick one, It doesn't matter really." Cyborg said.
"Thanks. I'm gonna head to bed now then I'm getting kinda tired anyway. Beside I'm probably leaving tomorrow." Jess said.
"Oh really, that sucks." Kevin said as Raven jabbed his side with her elbow. Kevin played it off as he continued to talk. "But I guess it's cool. I don't really want you to get hurt." Kevin said.
"Ok well night everyone." Jess said walking away waving.
"Night." Everyone one except Raven said.
About an hour passed and everyone was headed to bed themselves. Beast Boy was the first to go followed by Cy, then Star, then Robin, and finally Terra. Kevin and Raven were talking to each other for a little longer after the others went to sleep, but eventually Raven left as well.
"I'm gonna go to bed now too." Raven said getting up and heading to the hall. Kevin got up and walked over to her.
"I'm gonna go bed too, I just need to get some water for Max." Kevin said walking back to the sink to fill up Max's bowl. He finished filling it up and set it down next to the counter on the floor. He rubed Max's head and started to walk away. "Night boy." Kevin was walking down the hall going towards his room. He stretched out his arms and let out a long yawn. Dealing with all the stuff that has been happening has takin a lot out of himself. Not to mention the lack of sleep he had after what happened to Alex. He walked by a few rooms and saw a door opened that wasn't normally opened so he figured it was Jess. He was getting close to the door and heard her humming herself a little tune. He started to get closer and when he reached the door waved and said. "Night Jess, see ya in the morning." Kevin said. Jess quickly turned her head and ran to the door to catch up to Kevin.
"Hey Kevin can you come here for a sec I wanna talk to ya?" Jess asked.
"Yeah sure. What's up?" Kevin asked. He walked into the room to see what she wanted to talk about. Jess took a deep breath and turned to Kevin.
"Well..um..you know that guy I told you about, the one I liked?" Jess asked.
"Yeah. Good luck with him, if he's what you say he is he sounds a lot better than your last boyfriend." Kevin said.
"He is. He's a great guy, he even saved my life." Jess said as she walked closer. "He even has super powers." Jess said standing close to Kevin.
"Wow that's awesome. What kind of powers?" Kevin asked still blissfully unaware of who Jess was talking about.
"Man, Joe was right. You are dense when it comes to girls." Jess said putting her hand on her forehead.
"What do you mean?" Kevin still unaware of what Jess was talking about.
"I'm talking about you! I like you!" Jess came out and said.
"Wha..?" Kevin started to say, but before he could finish Jess wrapped her arms around Kevin and kissed him. Kevin was even more stunned when this happened and it took him a few seconds to realize what was happening as he stopped the kiss. "Whoa, OK. Um.." but before he could explain anything to Jess they both heard someone behind them.
"Kevin?" Raven saw the whole kiss. Kevin's name barely came out, but they still heard it.
"Raven!" Kevin said. He started to go to her but before he could get close the door was shrouded in black and shut in his face. Raven started to run to her room. Kevin quickly opened the door. "Raven wait." Kevin yelled to her, but she didn't listen, she just kept running. "Oh man." Kevin said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Jess asked.
"Oh crap, um…Jess listen, I had no idea you liked me, well, like that. But me and Raven are actually um…together. Listen I have to go explain to Raven, I'm sorry. I have to go." Kevin said as he left the room running towards Raven's room to try and explain what happened. He didn't even know how to explain it to himself. He made it to the front of her door and paused for a second and took a deep breath. "This is gonna hurt." Kevin said to himself as he knocked on the door. "Raven?" Kevin said.
"Go Away!" Raven yelled out the door.
"Raven please just listen to me, let me explain." Kevin said as he entered the dark room. And when he was finally in the room, a chair came flying right at him. He quickly dove to the floor covering his head with his hands as the chair shattered on the wall.
"Go Away!" Raven yelled at him again.
"Raven please you have to listen to me. I never meant for that to happen. I didn't know she liked me like that." Kevin said trying to explain what happened the best he could.
"How could you do that to me. You said you loved me, and then you go and kiss another person?" Raven yelled at him. "I don't want to see you, just leave me alone." Raven said putting her face back into her pillow. Kevin started to walk over to Ravens bed.
"Raven I didn't kiss her. She kissed me. I didn't even know she was going to do that." Kevin said walking closer.
"Liar." Raven said into her pillow.
"Raven when have I ever lied to you?" Kevin waited for a response but received none. "Raven I never have, and never will lie to you. I love you too much to do that to you." Kevin then sat on her bed. "Raven please look at me. I swear to you that I never wanted that to happen. Yes, Jess is a friend of mine, but I never meant that to happen. I'm sorry." Kevin said. Raven then took her face from her pillow and looked at Kevin. She looked right into his eyes, she could tell that he wasn't lying. She then leaped at him grabbing him into a hug and crying. Kevin hugged her as well comforting her the best he could. "I'm sorry." Kevin whispered into her ear.
"I don't want to lose you. Not again" Raven said.
"I know. I'm sorry." Kevin hugged her tighter. He let go of Raven and looked at her. "Raven I still have to explain to Jess why I left the room in a hurry. Come with me you can help me explain what's going on. Please?" Kevin asked.
"I guess." Raven said wiping the last of her tears away.
"Common cheer up." Kevin said wiping a single tear off her cheek. They each stood up and headed back towards Jess's room. They held each other's hand the entire way. They made it to the door to see it was closed. Kevin knocked on the door. "Hey Jess can we talk? I think I need to explain to you what's going on." Kevin said. There was no answer at the door. "Jess?" Kevin said again. When he still got no answer he opened the door slowly. "Jess are you here?" Kevin looked around the room and saw that she wasn't there. He then saw a piece of paper on her bed. He walked over and picked up the piece of paper and started to read what was written. It looked like it was written in a hurry.
Kevin,
I'm sorry I didn't know you found someone. I guess I was a little too late. But you won't have to worry, no one will now. I just can't live without you. You're the reason I'm still alive, but if I can't have the person I love than what's the point. Again I'm sorry, and tell Raven I'm happy for her. She has a great person to love. She's lucky.
Best regards,
Jess
"Oh no." Kevin said dropping the paper.
"What?" Raven asked.
"I think Jess is going to kill herself." Kevin said.
"What!" Raven yelled. "Where is she?" Raven asked.
"I don't know. Man why would she do this?" Kevin asked himself. He ran out the door trying to figure out where she would be. "Common, common think." Kevin said to himself. He tried to figure out anything that would help then he realized. "The Roof!" He quickly started to run towards the roof as Raven followed behind. The other's had woken up hearing the yelling and the slamming of the doors.
"Friends what is going on?" Starfire asked.
"No time to explain." Kevin said as he dashed past Starfire.
"Dude what's up?" Beast Boy asked. Raven stoped and told the other's that Kevin thinks that Jess is on the roof about to jump.
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled at the same time. They all the started to run after Kevin. Kevin had been using his increased speed to make it to the roof as fast as possible. He had to make it before she jumped. He couldn't live with himself if she killed herself. He finally made it to the door as pushed it open as fast as he could.
"JESS!" Kevin yelled as he saw her on the edge of the tower. Jess turned around to look at Kevin.
"I'm sorry." Jess then turned back around.
"Jess no, don't do it. This isn't the way. You don't need to kill yourself, please just step away from the edge." Kevin pleaded with her to not kill herself.
"I can't. If I don't have you I don't have anything else." Jess said. She then dropped off the edge of the tower.
"NO!" Kevin ran towards the edge. The others then came out of the door just in time to see Kevin run down the edge of the tower.
"Kevin!" Everyone yelled. Kevin was running down the side of the tower to gain speed and try to catch up to Jess before she hit the rocks at the bottom of the tower. He pushed off the tower to give himself a boost to catch Jess. He started to fly as fast as he could to try and catch Jess before she hit the bottom. They were getting closer by the second from the rocks.
"Common." Kevin said to himself trying to catch her. He got closer and closer and finally caught Jess about thirty feet from the bottom. He let out a sigh of relief as he flew back to the top of the tower. He landed and placed Jess back on the roof as she fell down.
"Why didn't you just let me drop!" Jess yelled at him.
"Because I don't want you to die your still my friend." Kevin said in a comforting tone.
"That's all I'll ever be!" Jess said as she got up and ran past everyone.
"Jess wait." Kevin said.
Everyone except Kevin was in the living room. Kevin had tried to go to Jess and talk to her but she wouldn't open the door. Kevin came into the room and turned toward the wall. He then proceeded to bash his head against the wall over and over again. Starfire came to look at Kevin.
"Friend why do continue to hit your head against the wall? Does that not hurt?" Starfire asked.
"I'm trying to knock all the stupid out of my head." Kevin rested his head after hitting it against the wall and turned to Starfire. "It's like everything I said made her angrier. She won't open the door, she won't talk to me, she hasn't stopped crying. I'm running out of things to do." Kevin then started to hit his head against the wall some more. Terra then stood up from the couch and walked over to Star and Kevin.
"Common Star let's go talk to Jess." Terra said grabbing her hand.
"Do you really think that will work?" Kevin asked stopping the damage to his head again.
"I'm a girl don't worry we'll handle this. Common Star." Terra said starting to walk away.
"I'll come too." Raven said. Terra stopped her.
"Actually I don't think that's gonna help, no offense Rae." Terra said.
"Why not, and what did you call me." Raven said lifting an eyebrow.
"Well you're the one who took Kevin from her, so I'm pretty sure she doesn't want you there." Terra explained.
"What do you mean took." Raven said lifting her eyebrow again.
"Just stay here Raven." Terra and Star then left. Kevin then went back to pounding his head into the wall.
"Kevin stop that." Raven said. Evin hit his head one last time and let out a sigh.
"I'm hungry." Kevin said as he made his way to the kitchen.
An hour or so passed and Star and Terra were still with Jess. They managed to get in the room and started to talk to her. The others were patiently waiting for them to come out. Kevin had remained silent the entire time making food. It usually helped when he was depressed. He just made something and ate it. Occasionally Beast Boy would sit next to him to try and cheer him up.
"Common Kev, cheer up. Terra's in there. She calm down Jessica and everything'll be alright." Beast Boy said. Kevin just continued to eat a sandwich he made. "Hey I know what'll cheer you up." Beast Boy said as he got up from the chair.
"I don't think I'm in the mood Beast Boy." Kevin said.
"Are you sure? It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly Time!" Beast started to say.
"NO!" Everyone said in unison.
"Alright fine, but I know something that'll put a smile on your face." Beast Boy then changed into a ape, and started acting like a gorilla. He started to grunt and act like he was throwing leaves in the air. He then beat his chest. He walked over to Kevin and started to act like he was eating bugs out of his hair. Kevin was starting to smile and then started to laugh.
"OK, ok. You win. Now quit it." He nudged Beast Boy away as he changed back.
"I knew that would work." Beast Boy said.
"Thanks man. I needed that." Kevin said. Just the Terra and the other's came out into the living room. Jess came out and looked at the other's who didn't say anything. "Um…Jess." Kevin started to say.
"No Kevin let me talk." Jess said calmly. "I'm sorry I worried all of you, I should have never done that. I don't know what I was thinking." Jess said.
"It's okay, your all right that's all that matters." Robin said.
"Thanks. And Raven I'm really sorry about what happened. I had no idea you two were together. If I had known I would have never kissed Kevin. I just wanted to apologize for what happened." Jess finished.
"It's ok you don't have to apologize. As long as you're all right I don't care." Kevin said.
"Thanks Kevin." Jess then gave him a hug. Raven did a little cough. "Oh right sorry. Well listen I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm actually gonna go to sleep now." Jess then left the room. Everyone else was ready for some sleep too, especially after what happened.
The next morning everyone got up to a big meal courtesy of Kevin and Raven, seeing as Kevin was still helping with her cooking. Everyone finished eating and Jess got her things and said her goodbye's to everyone. She thought it was a good time to head back home. They all stood outside as Cyborg got his car ready. He was gonna drive her home and then come back seeing as it was faster in a vehicle than on foot.
"Well I guess this is goodbye." Jess said.
"Don't be a stranger now." Terra said.
"Yeah your welcome here anytime, especially if you're a friend of Kevin." Robin said.
"Thanks maybe I'll visit sometime in the future who knows. I wanna thank you all for letting me stay here, you guys are really nice. And again I'm sorry about what happened." Jess apologizing again.
"It's alright; you don't have to keep apologizing." Kevin said.
"I know I just feel like I have to." Jess said. Cyborg then walked over.
"Ready to go?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah, one sec." Jess walked over to Raven. "Raven I'm sorry about what happened. I know you probably don't like me right now, but I hope we can still be friends." Jess then hugged Raven. Raven was actually shocked. Jess let go of her. "Don't lose this guy, he's one in a million." Jess said as she walked to the car. Cyborg started it up and Jess rolled down the window. "Oh and if you do lose him, I'll be there so watch your back." Cyborg then started to drive away.
"What did she just say?" Raven said.
"Oh common Raven calm down. Besides don't forget about that promise I made yesterday. I'm taking you out to anywhere you wanna go." Kevin reminded her.
"Oh trust me I didn't." Raven said with a smile.
"Wait a minute why are you smiling. You don't smile." Kevin said. Raven then started to walk away continuing to smile. "Raven why are you smiling. Raven, Raven!" Kevin continued to follow her. Somehow Kevin had a bad feeling.
