Ch 3

Beast boy had spent most of the night and early morning coming up with a list of things to do before the Titans disbanded. He couldn't sleep anyways so making the list occupied his time. After he finished the list, he went down to the kitchen for something to eat. Before he could get anything started, he heard a knock on the door, which didn't happen that often.

Making his way towards the door, he checked the door hole to see a surprisingly familiar face. Smiling, he opened the door to see Bumblebee staring back at him. "Hey Bumblebee, come in. It's good to see you but why are you here so early?"

"I could ask why you're up so early to, from what Sparky's told me, you like to sleep in."

"A lot is on my mind with the Titans ending in 5 months," he said as she came in and he closed the door behind her.

"So, he told you all ready?"

"Yeah," said BB as he sat on the couch with Bumblebee.

"Are you going to be ok?"

"How was it telling your team?"

"They were fine about it actually. We were all moving our separate ways, but we'll always cherish the memories we had as a team. The truth is we weren't as close as your team is, so are you ok? I mean really."

BB smiled. "Raven asked me the same question actually."

"It must be hard for her the most," said Bumblebee.

"How do you figure?"

"This is probably the first place in a long time that she's felt safe. She made friends, a family and now it's all going to go away in 5 months."

"Cyborg talks to you a lot about us, doesn't he?"

"You're his brothers and sisters as far as I'm concerned," smiled Bumblebee. "I know how much you all mean to him. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with him."

BB smiled. "Oh! Dude I totally forgot so what brings you by?"

"Cyborg called me and told me to come to the tower today. He wouldn't tell me why, and I couldn't sleep thinking about it so I came right over."

"I couldn't sleep either, so I stayed up the whole night making a list of the things we could do before it's time to go our separate ways."

"That's a great idea Beast boy."

"So, you want breakfast?" asked BB as Bumblebee nodded and followed him him into the kitchen, hoping he wouldn't ask her to try some tofu.

Raven came into the kitchen to make her tea and start her breakfast when she saw Bumblebee cooking in the kitchen. Turning around, she smiled at Raven. "Hey girl, long time no see."

"Uh hi Bumblebee," said Raven as she went to make her tea.

"I made breakfast for everyone well accept Beast boy and I. We all ready ate. Now I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here. Cyborg called me over, and that's as far as I know."

"Ok," said Raven as she sat down at the table with her tea and saw all the food on it. "Whoa, that's a lot of food."

"It's habit I'm afraid, none of the boys really know how to cook that well, so I usually make breakfast."

"I appreciate this Bumblebee believe me. The boys are the cooks around here."

"I believe that," she smiled as she sat down across from Raven. "You can dig in."

"Thanks," said Raven as she took a plate sitting at the table and helped herself. "So, you said Beast boy was with you?"

"Poor guy didn't get any sleep last night making a list so he's literally having a cat nap on the couch."

"I don't blame him," said Raven looking at her tea.

"You're having a hard time with this change to huh?"

"I'm coming to accept it as an inevitability."

"So no then?" Bumblebee smiled.

"I'm happy they'll find their own ways in life. I just haven't found mine yet. This has been my home for so long that it's hard to think of life past this place."

"You're a strong person Raven. I have no doubt that you'll figure it out."

"Thanks," she smiled as Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg came into the kitchen.

"Friend Bumblebee!" exclaimed Starfire as she came over and almost squeezed the life out of her.

"Ni—nice to see you to Starfire," said Bumblebee.

"What brings you by?" asked Robin.

"Ask Cyborg," said Bumblebee. "He called me over."

"Can we do this after breakfast?" asked Cyborg, who looked at the food on the table. "Besides we shouldn't put Bumblebee's delicious cooking to waste," he said as he kissed her on the cheek. "Hey where's—he heard purring on the couch. "Never mind I don't want to know."

"Well help yourselves I need to go freshen up," said Bumblebee as Cyborg let her know the nearest restroom.

Raven sat on the couch while her friends ate breakfast. With her powers she brought a book from her room to her. Getting comfortable on the couch, she took out the bookmark that held her place in the story and continued reading. Some time during her reading, she felt this warmth on her hip but dismissed it as it wasn't disrupting her.

"You do know you have a furry, green friend resting against your hip," said Bumblebee as she walked into the living room.

Raven looked down from her book to see a furry, green cat sleeping on her hip, purring away in happiness. The sensation traveling through her body wasn't unpleasant and normally she knew she would glare at him and throw him out the window with her powers, but she didn't have the desire to, which surprised her.

"Raven, you ok?" asked Bumblebee.

"He's not harming anyone," Raven smiled. "I guess he survives another day," she said before she got back to her book.

"You're a big softy Raven, just admit it," smirked Bumblebee.

"Never, I'm as cold as they come," Raven smirked.

"You care about Beast boy, don't you?" Bumblebee asked. Before she could get an answer from the empath, Cyborg came into the room with Robin and Starfire.

"Hey y'all I have something I've wanted to do for a while and I thought now would be a good time," said Cyborg.

"Ok, now you're scaring me Victor," said Bumblebee.

"What is it Cyborg?" asked Robin.

Raven carefully put her hand on Beast boy's fur, waking him up. Looking around the room, he could see something was going on so he morphed back into his human form, not anticipating the consequences as he fell onto Raven. "Uh heh heh, sorry Rae," he said as he quickly sat up, bringing his attention to the rest of his friends. "So, what's going on?"

Cyborg looked at Bumblebee and kneeled before her as he took out a ring. "Karen Beecher, I love you with all my heart. I can't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"

Bumblebee smiled in utter joy. "You bet I will Sparky! I love you," she said as they kissed.

"Oh! I am most overjoyed by your engagement!" exclaimed Starfire as she hugged the newly engaged couple.

"Me to," said Robin. "Congratulations you two," he smiled.

"You two really deserve this," said BB as he stood up from the couch. "I'm happy for both of you."

"Thanks B," Cyborg as he hugged his brother.

"So, when's the big day?" asked Raven as the the newly engaged couple looked at each other, realizing a lot of work was ahead of them.
