Warning, I do not own the Titans or any other DC characters I may use.
So while the girls were inside discussing their emotions and trying to control them, Beast Boy and Terra decided to take a long walk around the tower, just to get away and talk about simple things.
"So where do you see yourself in 5 years Beast Boy?" Terra asks, thinking of the first thing that came to her mind.
"Oh Terra why do you have to ask such lame questions?" Beast Boy replies, teasing Terra because she couldn't come up with anything more interesting.
"Just answer the question please, pretty please" Terra says while lifting up a couple rocks from a couple yards away and skipping them across the water. Beast Boy watches, rolling his eyes with a lack of amusement, he was clearly not impressed.
"Oh I don't know Terra, I'd like to think that the Titans will still be together, maybe not so much on the teenage side, especially because I'll be such a big hunk of macho man by then" Beast Boy said while flexing for Terra, she giggles in return and then he continues to answer her question. "But if not hopefully we'll be friends still I mean I'd like to think that you and me would still be together Terra." Beast Boy says while looking at the water then looking back at Terra, it was a pretty day, and that seemed to cheer both of them up.
"I'm glad you helped me remember, I really am Beast Boy". Then Terra does something to surprise Beast Boy, and leans in to kiss him on the check and then on the lips. Not a gaudy make out session but something sweet and simple. Beast Boy's face quickly turns bright cherry red and the heat emitted from it was noticeable to Terra. She giggled and blushed as well. She was happy as she felt the two of them were happy together. Nothing could ruin this moment for them, she thought; but she thought too soon.
"Help! Someone! Titans! Anyone!" A female voice calls out, Terra sighed but they both knew it was their right and duty to help anyone who required it. Beast Boy morphs into a dolphin and carries Terra to the other side of the water to where the voice was calling out from. As they got closer, they noticed it happened to be a very pretty blonde girl, who Terra thought looked familiar but wasn't quite sure as to who it was right away. Beast Boy was the first to respond to her, morphing back into his normal form as soon as they got close to land.
"Oh hey dude what's seem to be wrong?" Beast Boy asks trying to act heroic in this situation.
"Oh Beast Boy! I'm so glad you're here! You're my favorite Titan and by far the cutest!" Beast Boy eats these compliments up, however Terra isn't too happy about them and smacks him on the shoulder. He responds by giving her a look of confusion but then goes back to listening to the girl's dilemma.
"Well you see, I was taking a walk around the park like I normally do this time during the day. Then these thugs came out of nowhere, threatened me and took my purse with all my valuables in them. Could you please track them down? It would mean so much to me!" She says, still very upset over the incident that she had been through.
"Of course I- I mean we will find them. Ready to go Terra?" Beast Boy says while giggling a little at the mistake he made.
"I guess" Terra says, not happy with the way Beast Boy is acting.
"Which way did they go ummm what did you say your name was?" Beast Boy asks, curious about what the girl's name was.
"Oh it's Rose sweetheart, and they went over back that way" she points over towards the downtown area of the city.
"Okay Rose, we'll be on big quickly! Let's go Terra." Beast Boy then shifts into an eagle and picks up Terra. She groans but reluctantly agrees to these conditions. What other choice did she have?
Beast Boy glides quickly over the city and with his improved eagle sight; see's where these thugs are. He then swoops down and lunges toward them knocking them off their feet and onto the pavement in the street.
"Alright thugs prepare to meet your maker!" Beast Boy says then he morphs into a Tiger and lunges towards them. Terra helps by having the earth move a dumpster over towards them and Beast Boy corners them into it. As soon as they are trapped he shifts into a gorilla lifts the dumpster and tosses it into an empty lot. The thugs are now unconscious and the two retrieve the stolen goods.
"Easy peasy" Beast Boy says while picking up the purse and handing it to Terra to hold. "Ready to go?"
"I guess but please stop acting the way you are around here, it's really childish and I don't like it". Terra pipes up, as the longer they've been on the mission the less she likes the idea of helping this strange girl.
"What's your deal dude? I'm not doing anything out of the normal, relax." Beast Boy says, not too happy with what Terra was saying at the moment. The two of them then return back to the girl with her purse. She is more than thrilled when the two return.
"Oh Beast Boy I knew you would do this! Thank you oh so very very much" She says in a very high pitch girly voice. Then she grabs him, squeezes him, and gives a very long and very unexpected kiss on the lips. Terra is in pure shock. Is this really just happening or are my eyes deceiving me? And why is he not letting going? She decided she would hold back her tongue lashing until after she had left, as to not embarrass him in front of her.
"Thanks it… was… no… prob…lem" Beast Boy faints with little hearts and cupids floating above his head. His tongue was hanging out likes a panting dog. The girl giggles then reaches for something from her purse. A sticky notepad and a pen, she peels one off and scribbles something onto it, before she speaks again.
"Well here is my cellphone number, don't be afraid to text me or call if you ever want to hang out. I hope to see you again sweetie" She smiles and waves goodbye, then heads off into the opposite direction. As soon as she was clearly out of sight, Terra decides to erupt on Beast Boy, who was still in a dumb love struck state of mind.
"What was that Beast Boy?! Did you forget that I'm right here, Hello! I mean I could understand helping her get her purse back but was it really necessary to lock lips with her! And before you say you she started it, which yes I did notice that she did that. Did you have to let it continue!? It was twenty seconds Beast Boy twenty seconds! I mean I can't believe you would do this to be after the wonderful discussion we just had earlier!" Terra stops to take a deep breathe, her chest was pumping, filled with adrenaline from the rush of anger and disgust she had just witnessed from her boyfriend and this strange girl. Beast Boy immediately snapped out of it as soon as she raised her voice. He knew what he did was wrong and stupid, all he could do was sit there and let her go at him verbally. He knew he deserved it. After she paused for another fifteen seconds, she spoke again, this time as a much softer tone.
"So Beast Boy what do you have to say for yourself?" Terra says, while locking eyes with Beast Boy to make him feel so worthless and miserable at that moment.
Beast Boy gulps before he decides to say anything,
"Terra I'm sorry I don't what got into me, it was an… accident?" Beast Boy says trying to find the right words to make her happy with him again. He really was in the doghouse.
"An Accident! I can't believe you! I'm going to my room." Terra exclaims, then turns around and rushes towards the Tower. Beast Boy tries to stop her but it's not use. Before he knew it they were back in Tower and he got a door slammed in his face before he could say another word.
Beast Boy sighs, he then heads on back over to the main room and plops down on the couch. He sulks in his own pity. How could be so stupid? Starfire and Raven then exit Raven's room, curious as to what all the commotion was outside. Starfire is the first to notice Beast Boy, and sits down next to him to figure out what is wrong.
"Friend Beast Boy what has caused to you to be so upset?" Starfire asks, patting him on the back, trying to comfort him.
"I messed up Star, I messed up big time and I think Terra is really upset." A couple tears slip from his eyes down his green cheeks. Starfire notices this and pulls him closer, she starts to get emotional as well. Raven watches them from the other side of her room, shakes her and sighs.
"Oh Beast Boy please do tell what happened? I would very much like to know" Starfire says once Beast Boy stops tearing up and wipes his eyes.
"Well, everything was going great; me and Terra were having a good time but then a girl was in trouble so we decided to help her. Well after we got back her purse. She was super thankful and then she kissed me, I didn't know what to do and for some reason I couldn't let go. So Terra got really angry and started yelling at me. It was awful, but I knew I deserved it. She won't talk to me, what do I do Starfire? What do I do?" Beast Boy confesses, in a very emotional state, hoping Starfire would have an answer to what he should do. However, she herself was unsure so she decided to tell him something she thought was helpful.
"Oh friend Beast Boy, I am not too sure on what to do in this situation, as Earth relationships are very confusing to me. On my home planet, if we were going through a problem, we would try to find others going through a similar situation and go through it with them." This is where Starfire's brain clicked, for she had a brilliant idea. "Oh wonderful, I think I may know what we should do Beast Boy. Perhaps we could ask Jinx if she would care to go with us to enjoy your favorite food. Would that help you feel better?" Starfire asks thinking this would be very helpful.
"Yeah dude, that actually sounds like a great idea let's do it". Beast Boy responds, seeming to be very excited about the plan.
"Wonderful shall we go ask her?" Starfire asks while the two of them get off the couch. Starfire then sees Raven sitting across the room mediating, and decides to ask her as well.
"Oh friend Raven, would you care to join us to get food to help friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asks, while waiting for a response from Raven.
"No thanks… I'll pass" Raven says, then goes right back to mediating. Starfire looks back at Beast Boy, the two of them look at each other confused, then proceed to head to Jinx's room. Starfire is the one to knock first. Jinx opens the door and is very excited to see Starfire, they hug and then Starfire begins to speak.
"Friend Jinx, would you perhaps to join Beast Boy and I to go enjoy a meal somewhere, he needs to get stuff on the mind and I suggested that you would also probably like to join. Is this true?"
"Of course I would love to go hang out with you guys!" Jinx says, very excited that Starfire decided this early on after their talk to want to hang out with her. "Let's go!"
So the three of the head downtown to find something to eat, meanwhile, Slade who has been monitoring every little detail, is ecstatic about what is going on.
"Wonderful, with those three out of the way, Robin unconscious and Terra emotionally unstable then that only leaves Raven…" Slade says; then reaches for a button, Cyborg and Aqualad appear on his screen. He then beings to inform them of his plan
"Here is what I want you two to do, let Aqualad enter first, distract Raven anyway possible. Be very careful, or she will see right through your actions. Meanwhile, Cyborg, Robin stills seem to be unconscious, retrieve him and bring him back to the location I have assigned." When Slade finishes the two nod.
"Don't fail me this is very important" Slade says, "Otherwise the things I promised will…. Well, let's just say bad things will happen." Slade says; then closes the screen. Right after that a blonde haired girl and another hooded figure appear from behind the other doors.
"Well, look who has returned you have done me well. You shall be rewarded for this. Once Robin is out of the way, the Titans will be even more divided and that Tower and city will be under our control. Good work." She nods and asks a simple question, "Is there anything else you need sir?"
"No, no, you are free to go, show your new friend around, I'm pretty sure he will enjoy it." They both nod. The two leave and Slade gets out of his chair, and slowly step by step heads out as well.
