2 weeks later…

Farah ran to the door when she heard a familiar knock. Beast boy glanced down and smiled at her when it slid open. He scooped her up into the air with one arm while his other held onto an old looking shoe box.

Raven glanced back at him with a careless attitude. She turned her attention back to the mirror and her hair. She brought the black brush swiftly through her long purple hair, tuning out Farah's loud joyous squeals.

Beast boy sat at the end of Raven's bed awkwardly. He looked at her, staring at her beauty in the mirror's reflection. He shook his head lightly then stared down at his feet instead. Although it's been weeks since their small confrontation, the tension was still alive and well. Raven ignored him whenever she could. She would put on a fake, happy demeanor if Farah forced her to be around Beast boy, but he knew that she would rather do anything else than to be in his presence.

His and Terra's relationship seemed to have gotten a bit better. In other words, they haven't fought in the past weeks, and Terra kept her word on leaving Raven and Farah alone. Sometimes he did wonder if he made the right decision of not going through with the breakup. He hated how strained his friendship with Raven has become as a result of it. When she agreed to come back to the Tower with him, he was hopeful. Finally, he's given the opportunity to rebuild the relationship they could have had, but of course, he messes it up by choosing Terra again.

Farah crawled onto the bed and sat close next to Beast boy. She was curious to see what was in the box. After Raven finished brushing her hair, she sat down next to the excited Farah and smiled down at her, still ignoring Beast boy's gaze.

"Farah, Beast boy's here because we have something very important to tell you."

"Another secret?"

Raven winced at her comment. "Yes, another big secret." "More like another lie coming to light."

Beast boy opened the shoe box and carefully placed the lid of it behind him on the bed. He carefully took the many pictures out and gave some to Farah for her to hold. She looked down at them eagerly. "Who are they?"

"Do they look familiar to you at all?"

Farah looked at the old photo. It was a picture of three people. One was a tall man who had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a camouflage outfit with an arm draped over a woman standing next to him. The woman had long brown hair with blue eyes as well. She was dressed in a female version of the camouflage outfit that resembled the man standing next to her. She wore gloves and had a fishing net in her hand. Then the little boy that was standing in between them had blonde hair as his father but it was longer with some curls and vibrant blue eyes as well. He wore a camouflage vest with heavy blue jeans and a green T-shirt on. The small family appeared to have been in a forest setting with tents in the background. They were all smiling hard in the picture as one big happy family.

Farah continued looking at the many other pictures that Beast boy kept giving her. It was with the same people. Some of just the boy and his father and others with his mother. She found a picture of just the boy and stared at it. Raven was also looking at the picture in wonder. She smirked, knowing exactly who this was.

"This boy looks like me."

Beast boy smiled. "Guess who he is."

Farah stared at it longer then shrugged her little shoulders. She doesn't remember seeing anyone who looked like this before.

"That was me when I was your age."

Farah looked up at Beast boy then at the picture of the blonde boy. "No, it's not." She said with a giggle. "You're green."

"I know, but that's what I looked like before I turned green."

"You looked like me! We're like twins." She said innocently. Farah gave a toothy smile and brought the picture close to her head. Her mind was still not processing the hints Beast boy was conveying.

"The reason why you two look alike is because you both are related," Raven said.

She raised a brow and stared into Beast boy's green orbs. "Are you my uncle too?"

Beast boy looked at Raven hesitantly then back down at Farah. "No..I'm your father."


"Where's the remote?"

"Friend, do you not remember the last place in which you have left the device?"

"Nah. I wish I did." Cyborg lifted the couch over his head and searched, but he saw nothing but trash and dust bunnies. He sucked his teeth in annoyance and dropped it.

"The documentary on the toe of fungus will be airing shortly, and I do not want to miss it!" Starfire said sadly. She flew around the common room, throwing things on the floor to also find the remote.

"My good show, 'Family Matters', is coming on. They're having a marathon, and I remember watching that all the time as a kid." Cyborg said with a smile as nostalgia started to hit him.

"What are you guys doing!?"

Starfire and Cyborg looked up at Robin who stared at them in shock. The common area was now a mess. The fridge was raided by Starfire, and there were video discs and papers thrown on the floor by Cyborg.

"Robin, please assist us in finding the remote. Our television programs will be broadcasting momentarily."

Robin sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. No matter how old they got, they always seem to lose the damn thing.

"You gonna help or not? I can't miss Urkel's famous line."

Robin placed his papers on the yellow table and took a seat. He didn't want to help in finding anything. Eventually, they will discover it, and it would be right under their noses. He flipped the pages of the criminal reports, scanning every bit of information documented. He stopped when he heard a glass break. He turned and saw one of the large windows crack due to Starfire's aggravation.

Robin rolled his eyes then helped the two. He stood in front of the computer monitor and browsed it. He shook his head in disappointment then grabbed the remote that was hidden underneath scraps of paper.

"You found it!?" Cyborg dropped the table he was holding and snatched the remote from his hands. In seconds, Starfire and Cyborg were sitting on the couch contently.

"Cyborg, change the channel to 59!"

"No way! 'Family Matters' is on."

"But I wish to watch the fungus."

"If you want to see fungus, go look at BB's feet, Star!"

The two started to wrestle each other over the device. Robin groaned and gathered his papers. He should have known better than to come here to do his work. He was preparing to walk away when Terra walked in and strode into his presence.

"Robin, can I talk to you about something?"

"Um, sure." He said awkwardly. Robin sat back down in his seat and watched as Terra sat next to him. He was confused as to what she wanted to talk about. He and the geomancer's conversations never ended well. "Is everything alright?"

Terra shrugged. She rubbed her arms nervously and looked up. "I wanted to know if you could do something for me.."


"Father?" Farah snapped her head to Raven, but she only nodded her head and smiled softly "But I thought you said daddy went far away and wasn't coming back."

Beast boy shot an angry glare at Raven. He understood that he wasn't around for most of Farah's life, but damn! Did she really have to tell his daughter something so negative about him? Raven kept looking down at her hands. "I did, and I'm sorry that I lied to you."

Farah frowned and slumped her shoulders. "But why did you lie to me?"

"Because, sweetheart. Beast boy was here at the Tower fighting bad guys. Remember, I told you that it wasn't safe to have you here. I couldn't be a Titan and have you at the same time. I had to leave."

Farah looked down at her legs with a frown. She believed anything her mother told her, but she was still confused and a bit skeptical with Raven's answer. She was young but smart for her age. There were times when she would look at her mother's pale appearance and violet locks and questioned why she was a blonde with fair skin. Her mother eased her mind by saying that she looked like her father, then that would be the end of the conversation. But now that she knows that Beast boy is her father, she doesn't see a resemblance between her and his green skin.

"Beast boy, we don't look alike. I'm confused."

"I know we don't look alike now. When I was younger, I got sick. The disease turned my skin green and gave me the powers to shapeshift into animals. Before all of that, I looked just like you. Look at the picture, see? That's me."

Farah nodded when she looked at the picture of Beast boy's younger form again, still a bit in disbelief.

Beast boy glanced at Raven and for the first time, she looked into his eyes. He sighed when only she frowned in confusion too. They both had no clue how Farah was handling all of this.

"That explains why you can shapeshift too," Raven said. "You inherited his powers."

Farah didn't like the serious atmosphere that her mother and Beast boy were creating. The information they were telling her was overbearing, but it didn't matter. She was happy to know that she and Beast boy were blood-related. She identified a connection between them but simply didn't know what it was or how it got there.

"Father." She thought. "Beast boy's my father. My dad." It didn't show on her face, but she was ecstatic about this, but even she wished that she knew him when she was younger. Farah wanted to ask her parents many more questions. Why wasn't Beast boy in any of their family pictures? Why didn't he come to see her when she was younger? Why was she finding out about all of this now?

Farah looked up at the forced smiles Raven and Beast boy gave her. She decided not to ask them. She could tell that they were uncomfortable about this topic and wanted the conversation to end. She rolled away from between them then jumped at Beast boy's back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Then I guess I should call you daddy now!"

Beast boy laughed and lifted her on his shoulders.

Raven sighed then collected the pictures again and neatly placed them into the box they were in. A big weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She was so relieved to finally have Farah know who her father was and stop her lies. Raven hated that she had to keep up the facade for so long, but there was nothing else she could do.

But It's all over now. Farah knows who her father is and took the news really well.


"Hey, what are you up to?"

"I was with Raven and Farah. We finally broke the news to her."

Terra smiled but it wasn't genuine. "That's great!"

Beast boy smiled and tried to keep walking, but Terra noticed his box. "What's in here?'

She took it from his hands and opened it quickly, looking inside. "Oh, Beast boy! Are these pictures of you when you were younger? You looked so adorable. How come I've never seen them before?'

Beast boy shrugged. "I don't really bring them out a lot because I want to make sure nothing happens to them, so I just keep them hidden in my room." He chuckled. "Sometimes I forget they're in there."

Terra looked up. "So Raven saw them?"

Beast boy paused. He didn't know whether to say yes or no. If he says yes, then she will throw a fit and if he said no, then she would call him a liar. It was a lose, lose for him. "..yes?"

Terra nodded her head and placed the lid back. She didn't show any signs of anger which surprised him. He was waiting to hear a yell from her, but if she wasn't going to say anything then he'll happily think nothing more of it. Terra handed the box back to him.

"Let's go on a date, bae. You seem tense. I'm sure all this fathering thing is wearing the mess out of you."

For once, Beast boy agreed. "Sure. We can go tonight."


Farah intertwined her small fingers in between Raven's. She stared into the dark sky with her mother lying next to her. Soon after Beast boy left, Raven brought her to the roof to simply unwind and show the beautiful view of the atmosphere Titans Tower's roof provided.

Farah's free hand felt the comfortable blanket she and Raven lied on as she continued to gaze up at the stars. She and Raven never did this when they were in the city. She glanced at the empath and smiled softly when her mother was engrossed in the night sky above them. Raven turned her head when she realized Farah was looking at her. They made eye contact for a quick moment before they giggled softly at each other.

"Mommy, do you remember Bailey?"

Raven rolled her head from staring into the night to at Farah "No, who is she again?"

"She's the little girl with the long brown hair and had on sparkly boots every time we saw her?...The sparkly boots I wanted for Christmas?"

"Oh, now I remember," Raven said shortly. "What about her?"

"Before we left, do you remember when I went to her house to play?"

Her mother nodded, now glancing at the sky again.

"I saw her mommy and daddy."

"Ok?" Raven was confused with where Farah was going with this. "Is that a bad thing?"

"No, but I was sad," Farah said.

"Why were you upset?"

She looked at her. "Because I want to have you and daddy together like Bailey has her mommy and daddy."

"But..you do have mommy and daddy now. You see Beast boy everyday."

"I know, but he's not with us like a family. He's always with that blonde lady. Are they married?"

Raven sighed. She didn't want Farah getting into the middle of her and Beast boy's strained relationship. She didn't know what to say to her daughter and she was tired of lying.

"No, they're not married, but they do like each other..I think," Raven said bitterly.

"But you and daddy kissed. When you kiss someone, it means you like them."

"Not all the time.''

"So, you and daddy don't like each other?"

Raven opened her mouth to reply, but she didn't know what to say. Her and Beast boy's situation was intricate. She has feelings for him, and he says that he shares feelings for her as well, but she found that hard to believe when he continues to sleep in the same bed as Terra.

"Um, I don't know." She said shortly.

"Oh," Farah said in disappointment, "Ok."

Farah went back to staring into the night, still upset. Raven felt her heart slightly break. The normal life that she wanted her daughter to live was no longer going to happen. Raven sat up then took Farah into her lap, holding the toddler close to her chest. Farah melted into her mother's arms and continued to look up at the sky but there were tears were running down her chubby cheeks.


I hope the father reveal scene between Farah and Beast boy wasn't cliche. That was my biggest concern as I wrote this, but other than that, I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter! Next one on Friday.
