Um... There really isn't much to say here except enjoy!

Beast Boy's POV

I sighed as I walked down the busy streets.

After the big reveal of Blackfire's return, we should be having a talk about it as a team.

But as soon as we all recovered enough to return home, Cyborg went to fix his blaster and invited only Starfire to come talk about it.

She refused however, and went to sulk in her room. Raven ended up going with him instead, but they both didn't seem to want me to come. Something about how I was 'too immature' to understand it.

I really hated how they all viewed me that way. I'd gone through more shit than they'd ever know.

Not long after that I'd invited them all out for pizza. We used to go for it all the time. We would squabble over what to get on it, and after that for the last slice.

Of course that was all before Robin's betrayal.

As you can probably imagine, they all refused.

So now I'm just going since it would be weird if I didn't. Even though I have better things to do.

Like investigating the traitor.

I sighed as I walked in, everything seemed the same. The counter, the take out orders that we probably should've done at some point, the lack of indoor seating… yeah it was pretty much the same.

I glanced outside, and saw the table we used to always sit at. The memories quickly began flooding back.

"You can't just get the pepperoni! I'd have nothing to eat, vegan remember?!" I yelled at Cyborg.

My mechanical friend just smirked down "Well I guess you're not going to have anything to eat then"

"Please, part of this custom of 'eating out' involves us all eating, correct?" Starfire asked, confused.

"Star's right." Robin agreed "We can't just starve Beast Boy"

"I wasn't against not having pepperoni, but starving Beast Boy might get him to shut up." Raven remarked.

"There are salads here, right?" Cyborg said.

"Just because I'm vegan doesn't mean I like salads!" I told him "That's just a myth!"

"Could we not get pepperoni on this salad you speak of?" Starfire reasoned. Or at least tried to.

"Only if we want to torture both of them." Robin answered.

"You're the leader. You decided the punishments for arguments." Raven pointed out "I'm sure if we got that we wouldn't have to deal with their bickering for a long time."

"I'm not that cruel!" Robin disputed.

"Back to what we were saying" I interrupted "Just give up your meat for once, Cy! It's not that hard!"

"Not that hard?!" Cyborg exclaimed "Pepperoni is a key part of a pizza! It's not a pizza without some!"

Raven gave Robin a glance, before he added "Of course, on the other hand maybe pepperoni salad wouldn't be such a bad idea…"

After that the squabbling only got worse, with Robin and Raven getting into the argument, and all of Starfire's attempts at keeping the peace falling flat

I never thought that one day what seemed like such an ordinary afternoon would be so nostalgic in the future. Or at least not this early in the future.

But then that traitorous little jerk had to go and join our worst enemy. And-

Ohf

I must have stopped paying attention to where I was going, because I quickly realized I'd just bumped into someone.

The first thing I noticed was the pizza all over me. The sudden realization -and guilt- that the person must've been carrying one that had spilled when I bumped into them quickly washed over me.

I got up and looked to see who I had run into.

Looking down I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

She had golden hair that fell down her beneath her shoulders. Her eyes were a dazzling baby blue, that I felt I could drown in. She wore a yellow short sleeved shirt with jeans. Although of course they were covered in pizza

"I'm so sorry!" I quickly apologized, reaching a hand out to her. She awkwardly took it.

"It's fine…" She told me

"I ruined your pizza, I should pay for another!" I decided.

"You don't have to-"

"I should-"

"No, really-"

I turned to the person working, ignoring her. "Can I have a pizza with..." I glanced down at the remains of the old one "...Anchovies, tomatoes, and cheese!"

"Sure." They said, putting in the order, I could tell that they were annoyed about the mess we made though.

"Uh… I'll clean up the mess. You just worry about you."

"You shouldn't be doing this," She told me.

"Stop worrying, it's no big deal!" I insisted

"I'm serious." She told me "You're making a mistake, being so nice to me like this."

"Uhhh… how about we share the pizza then?" I suggested.

"Fine, but you can't say I didn't warn you." She said, before heading off to the bathroom to clean up.

I furrowed, a little confused by her words, but didn't dwell on it long. After all, I did have a mess to clean up!

30 minutes later

"...In conclusion, there are millions of ways to avoid eternal damnation in hell!"

The girl -who I'd learned was named Tara- laughed in response.

I felt a blush creep across my cheeks. Nobody hardly ever laughed at my jokes, and it was nice to finally meet someone who did.

The last time anyone had laughed was probably Blackfire, and I'm not sure if that was real or not.

Ever since I was young jokes had been a bit of a coping mechanism of mine. A bit of a way to both hide my pain and search for the validation I'd never received during my years with the Doom Patrol.

So seeing that someone liked them meant a lot to me.

"I should get going" She said, interrupting our conversation.

"Why? I thought we were having a really good time, and more than half the pizza's left!" I asked her.

"Well… my Dad's really strict" She explained "I hardly got him to let me go out for just this one afternoon.

"Besides he wouldn't exactly be happy if he knew I was hanging out with a superhero." She confessed.

"So, he's one of those guys who think superheroes are nothing more than a liability?" I asked her.

"Pretty much"

"Well what are your feelings on the whole debate?"

"I don't really know" She admitted "I guess I've always been on his side, but considering how nice you've been this whole time…"

"It's fine." I reassured her. "Besides you don't need to leave! It's not a big deal, it's just one time and he'll probably never even know!"

Tara sighed "Like I said he's strict. He's the sort to figure these kinds of things out."

He sounds controlling, I thought. "If he's so strict then how'd you even manage to convince him to let you come get pizza?"

"My brother recently went out with his Girlfriend, he kind of owed me." Tara explained "After a couple of remarks with some implications, he let me out for the afternoon in compensation."

"He let your Brother go out on a date with no hesitation, but you had to convince him to let you go into town?" I frowned "You sure he's not sexist?"

"It wasn't exactly a date" She told me "But I guess the sexist thing might explain why he picks favori…" Her voice trailed off, upon remembering I was still there

"If I go any further, I'm going to be admitting some personal information. Some very personal information." She said "And I need you to promise that under no circumstances, will you reveal it"

"I promise"

"Swear it!"

I was a bit taken aback by the sharpness of her request, but quickly said the swear.

"My father… he likes my older brother more." She confided "He spends all his time with him. Tutoring him, Talking to him, Talking about him…

"You want to know what makes it worse?" I nodded.

"My brother's a douche. He makes snide remarks at me and sends my father dirty looks. The only person he's nice to is his girlfriend."

I put a hand on her shoulder "They both sound like jerks" I told her "You're way better than them."

"Thanks…" She said "But I still want my father's approval

"And I'm going to get it. Through blood and fire, by the end of this I will prove I'm better than that bitch." There was a fire in her eyes that couldn't help but slightly scare me, but I reminded myself that it was probably nothing.

I'd never had a sibling, so I had no idea how bad the rivalry could get. This was probably normal, at least for a family as dysfunctional as theirs sounded.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have told you any of that. I guess I just had to get it all off my chest." Tara sheepishly said while we both sat back down.

"It's fine," I reassured her. "I know that feeling of having a whole bunch you need to say, but no one to talk to."

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever really hated someone that everyone else loved? Been the only one to see what a jerk they really are, and felt desperate to prove it to everyone else?" she asked.

"Well…" I hesitated. My feelings about Robin were personal, and I'd literally just been betrayed. Could I really trust them with her?

But she'd trusted me with her hatred towards her brother, and it seemed like we were both in agreement that neither of us would likely ever speak again, and that this was a safe confessional ground.

"I'm sure you've heard about Renegade…"

Yay, the BBTerra has started!

I don't know why I haven't written with these two before. I've only ever done them as a past relationship before, and that's unfortunate since this ship is one of my favs!

I know it was a bit rushed, but their feelings in the original cartoons weren't exactly 'slow and steady' either. Even if it took a bit for them to officially get together (which will probably be the same here).
