chapter 4
In the kitchen Beastboy and Cyborg were having their usual battle of Meat and Tofu. At the table sat Raven reading one of her novels while drinking her green tea. She was getting irritated by the second with the yelling going on between her team mates.
"Won't you two ever shut up" she thought.
"Meat, Tofu, Meat, Tofu..." they yelled.
"Won't you two SHUT UP!" she yelled
The room became silent and at the same moment appeared Starfire and Nightwing holding hands but suddenly Nightwing let go and looked shocked that for once it was quiet.
"What is going on?" he asked.
"Why don't you tell them they started it" Raven answered while pointing at BB and Cy.
"But Friend Raven, this has never irritated you before, may I ask what is the matter?" Starfire questioned.
"I'm just getting tired of them, I mean seriously by now they could have learned to get along" she said irritated.
"Raven is right we are a team and you two need to stop with these silly fights, just make different meals for both of you and get over it" Nightwing insisted while scrowling at his two friends.
"Fine" they shrugged.
"yay now there will be no more fighting yes, then may we get on with our meal of the day correct?" Starfire asked.
"Of course Star.." Nightwing started to say but was rudely cut off but the alarm.
They all turns towards their heads towards the screen and saw a symbol that haunted each of them especially Nightwing.
"Slade" he growled.
"But duude he .. te=he earthquake..." BB started.
"No one could have survived that" Cyborg ended.
Nightwing marched over and checked to answer the video request. There was his worst enemy, the one that haunted him, and can never really be at rest with him around.
"Why hello Robin how is my favorite apprentice doing, long time no see" Slade said.
"Im not your apprentice and what are you up to?" he responded.
"Ahh I see you haven't changed " he turns towards the others who just stood there staring " hello titans Raven I see you haven't changed, Beast boy still childish as ever, Cyborg how is the system doing getting better since I last hacked it, and how could I forget the lovely Starfire as beautiful and naive as always." he said.
"Enough talk what have you got planned this time" Robin growled.
"Relax Robin all at it's due course" Slade said calmly.
The screen went blank and Nightwing pounded his fists against the keyboard.
"Nightwing are you alright" Starfire said worried that he might go back to his old ways.
"Yeah I got to get back to work" he said and walked out of the room not before giving Starfire a kiss on the forehead and left without saying a word.
"Well like always there he goes shutting us out of his life" Cyborg stated.
"No, I worry about this time, Slade came back into our lives again. I fear that everything up to now will be destroyed and Nightwing will go back to ignoring us ... em again" Star sighed.
"Awh come on Star you know that's not true Robin loves you and he wouldn't do that to you, he just needs a little time to sort this out" Beastboy reassured.
"Oh I hope your right" she said. But couldn't get rid of the feeling that things were going to be different from now on.
