Chapter Twelve
Forgiveness
Back at the titans tower, the Robin was in the bathroom with Cyborg, both of them washing the blood off their wrists from the shackles. It was silent, but they were both thinking the same thing. Victoria, even though a traitor, should still be apart of the teen titans.
"Look, my man," Cyborg said, breaking the silence, "I've been thinking. Even though she betrayed us and all, we still should give her the chance as a teen titan. Don't you think?"
Robin dried his wrists, "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. She saved us when we thought she was gonna shoot us," he sat down on the edge of the tub, "What do the others say?"
"Raven, a no," Cyborg said, "But BB and Star, they think she deserves a second shot."
"Then I guess we'll go with the majority. Get one of the titans to fetch Victoria. Then we'll call a meeting."
Victoria sat on her bed, depressed. She was still thinking about what Slade had said. We will meet again, Victoria. She couldn't help but feel helpless. What if there was no one to protect her this time?
Her thoughts were inturrupted by a tap on the window. She opened it and in flew a green bird. It perched itself onto a pile of school books.
Victoria sighed, "Hello, Beast Boy," she said sadly. The green bird morphed into Beast Boy.
"Why do you look so upset?" he asked.
A tear ran down her face, "Well wouldn't you be?" she screamed.
"Look, please don't be mad at me. I've come to bring good news to you."
"And what good news is that?" she said, her voice still raised.
"If you're gonna be that way, then I guess I'll leave," he prepared to morph again.
"No, wait," she said, more kindly this time, but still showing traces of anger, "I'm sorry. And not just about being mean, but about betraying you."
Beast Boy shrugged, "It doesn't really matter."
"Yes it does," she bit her lip, "Beast Boy, all I do is think about you. I think I love you but I don't know."
Beast Boy didn't looked surprised.
"I hope you know that I didn't want you to die," she walked closer to him, "Beast Boy...please forgive me," she grabbed his shoulders and pressed her lips against his, kissing him.
Beast Boy, although aroused and happy, softly pushed her away, "Vic, you betrayed me," he said, "I forgive you, but it's gonna take a while to earn my trust back. Look, the titans have agreed to have you back on the team. So why don't you start earning it now by comming back."
Hurt and still crying, she bowed her head, "No," she said, "I do not wish to be a part of the teen titans any longer."
"But--"
"Just go," she said.
Beast Boy hesitantly morphed back into a bird and lfew out the window, back to titans tower. Victoria stood there, crying. She would have to gain their trust back fully before she ever would think about joining the titans again. But until then, all she could do was dream about them. And worry about what Slade might do next.
The End.
