Six Confessions

Speedy

Speedy stood up. He walked over to the idle orange basketball and picked it up. Tossing it up in the air, he caught it on his finger and spun it as it balanced on his fingertip.

"Nice trick … now you gonna talk or what?" Kid Flash challenged him.

Speedy smiled and threw up the ball. It arched back and went straight into the basket before bouncing away.

"I find it very interesting the girls that each one of you are attracted to … Robin is the strong leader of the Teen Titans, yet he becomes a nervous wreck whenever Starfire's around ... Beast Boy's the funniest guy in the team and I find it funny that he is attracted to the most isolated Titan ... Cyborg I can at least understand because he and Bee just click … while Aqualad has found a former Titan who just wants to be normal … and Kid Flash … helping a villain see the light and becoming housemates in the process … now that's amazing."

Everyone listened to his speech as he rattled on about what they already knew. It was obvious to Robin that he was just stalling, but why?

"You don't have a girl do you?" Robin asked.

Speedy froze. He peered over to Robin who was now smiling.

"… I do …" He responded.

"Okay then … let's hear."

Speedy grew nervous. He liked to interrogate people, but being the one interrogated made him uneasy. He contemplated making a dash for the door, yet remembered Beast Boy's failed escape. He had to get out of this through cooperation.

"I mean, I did ..." He silently rephrased. "It happened before the whole Brotherhood of Evil event … I had a lead in China about Katarou, so when I followed it, I found it was a trap. He had purposely set the clues for me to follow and ambushed me in the process … he almost killed me before she came."

He reminisced about the past events. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. The other's waited for him to return to his conversation.

"… She was a student at a local dojo and was walking through a path in the forest when she came upon our battle. She jumped in and beat Katarou back … I could barely stay awake because of the beating Katarou gave me …"

"You really loved her didn't you …" Aqualad cut in. He studied his face as he talked about this girl and knew there was a tinge of sorrow in his words. He had concluded that only one thing could cut his friend so sharply.

Meanwhile, Speedy glanced over to his teammate and nodded.

"… She watched over me while I recovered and we fell in love … her name was Jade Nguyen, but she's someone else now …" Speedy trailed off.

"What happened?" Beast Boy silently asked.

"… Katarou came back … he offered her wealth to finish me off. She didn't have a lot, but refused him. Later, Katarou threatened to kill her family if she didn't do what he asked. She was heartbroken because he had kidnapped her father … that night, she came to me … she said she was sorry and told me to run away … I wanted to stay, but she pulled a knife at me and forced me to leave …"

Speedy paused. His words were choking up in his throat, yet he tried to compose himself.

"… She was crying … when I left. It wasn't until later that she came back … as Cheshire … and attacked me. The Brotherhood had offered her not only wealth, but power … she was a different person than the girl I knew … a cold blooded killer." Speedy finished.

Everyone stayed silent. They now saw how hurt Speedy was about it, how his heart had been broken.

"It's not your fault …" Robin said to comfort Speedy.

"I should have helped her … she didn't have to do that." Speedy mumbled angrily.

"Sometimes, the people that you care about don't see that you really do care for them." Beast Boy spoke up. "I never told Terra how much she meant to me … and yet I failed her, as a teammate and friend."

Speedy stared down at the blacktop. He knew that Beast Boy was right, sometimes, people don't see how much you care about them. If only Jade knew, he thought. If only she knew no matter what happened, he would always love her, she might have stayed with him.

"I know Beast Boy … it hurts though. That I could have helped her …"

"It always does … I mean it took me awhile until I finally found someone that cared for me the same way I care for her … and she was next to me all that time." Beast Boy told him. Speedy nodded.

"I found someone else as well."

"You have?" Cyborg asked, not wanting to sound skeptical.

"Yeah … me and her are actually together now." Speedy responded to Cyborg's microscopic skepticism.

"Who?" Kid Flash questioned.

"Argent."

Everyone stared in disbelief. Speedy and Argent were boyfriend and girlfriend now!? After all the criticism he was giving them about girls and his player attitude, he already had a girl? Guess the heart healed fast after his breakdown with Jade, they thought.

"Wait … so you and Argent are together, how did that happen?" Aqualad asked.

Even though Speedy was his teammate, he had never seen any signs of him having a girlfriend. Speedy always was the one to flirt with girls wherever he went, even flirting with Bumblebee who always beat him up after his attempts.

"Well … after the Brotherhood thing went down, you know how everyone crashed here," He said, referring to the tower. "… well all the rooms were running out, and you didn't room with me, so I had to bunk with Argent."

Speedy pointed to Aqualad.

"Hey, you never told me to save you a spot … Mas Y Menos already were there when I got there anyway." Aqualad defended himself.

"Yeah … well she was cute so I started talking to her. Ended up staying the whole night talking about everything that went down, our lives, where we live … y'know …" Speedy explained. "I asked her if she wanted to go outside to watch the stars … so we snuck out and climbed to the roof, staring up at the sky … later, she turned to me and we just looked into each other's eyes before she leaned over and kissed me."

"I thought I heard something outside Raven's room." Beast Boy said. Everyone stared at him and he blushed. "He-he … we were together that night … he-he …"

"She lives in New Zealand while you live in Steel City … how does your relationship work?" Robin asked.

"Well … the duplicate T-craft that you made for us sure has a lot more miles on it now …" Speedy snickered.

"That's why she's in town isn't she?" Kid Flash asked.

"Yeah … well, besides, she wanted to see the girls again anyway …" Speedy answered.

"And here I thought you were a player … seems you're as much a one girl man like the rest of us." Cyborg acknowledged.

"Guess I am … oh and I'm sorry for all the stuff I said about your girls …" Speedy apologized to his friends. "… just being the devil's advocate."

Everyone laughed. Speedy wasn't that bad after all. They all had their ups and downs with their relationships, yet Speedy had just as much as the rest. Cyborg glanced at his watch and knew the girls would be coming back soon.

"So much for the game, eh." He told the others.

"We got plenty o time for that …" Kid Flash replied.

"Girls should be back soon … I think I have something to ask Starfire anyway." Robin stated.

"I think we all have something to tell someone." Aqualad affirmed.

"Why not just invite everyone for a big team date!?" Beast Boy joked, yet the others seriously considered it.

"That's a good idea BB … a very good idea …" Speedy contemplated it. "Okay then, tonight … at 8:00 get dressed up … it's party time!"

Ooo

Well that's Speedy's chapter … didn't know he was so deep and heartbroken, right? … I didn't want to make him the bad guy, so I thought his story could use a touch of tragedy … one more chapter to go … it's date night! … Don't forget the reviews!
