Butterfly: So the tables have all shifted to me! Bwahahaha! Just kidding! I'm totally psyched to write this chapter! (Notices Robin struggling to free himself from his handcuffs) Do I even want to ask what kind of torture jc013 put you through?

Robin: He's a mad-man I tell you! He played "Bird Walk" over and over… And over… And then he hit repeat and walked away! Raven was merciful enough to turn the music off, but they won't let me go!

Butterfly: Hm… Oh Bohusk! (Bohusk appears with ipod in his ear, head bobbing to the beat of his music)

Bohusk (Removing one ear-phone): What do ya' need now, woman?

Butterfly: Would you do me one insy winsy, little, favor? (Bohusk nodded in a bored tone and I leaned up to whisper in his ear. The hero fell over laughing and agrees.) Thank you, but before you do, would you say the line?

Bohusk: Oh, yeah, I kinda owe ya, huh? Okay, MaidenoftheMoonLight17, ButterflyxWriter13, and jc013 don't own Teen Titans. Now, Bird Boy! You're mine!

(Bohusk kicks the boom box and watches as Robin screams in terror as the "Bird Walk" song plays again.)

Butterfly: Ah, the sound of torture in the evening is so peaceful… Thank you, Bohusk. I'll leave you to his demise, hun.

Chapter 11: In Her Eyes

"Then why do you want my help?" Speedy asked.

"Cause' we're going all sneaky stealthy Metal Gear Solid style with this mission and I know you want Swift back cause' you love her. Now are you in?" Bohusk said as he put out his hand. Speedy then looked out the tower in deep thought. He then turned around and then shook Bohusk's hand.

"Alright, I'm in. So what's first?" Speedy asked as he smiled. Bohusk said nothing but held stood and started off the island. Speedy followed loyally behind him. The two heroes moved down the island's shore past the usual training spot, to a large cave.

"I found this cave a while back. It leads straight into Jump City," Bohusk said leading Speedy into the dark cavern.. The duo walked in silence for a while before Bohusk spoke again." Can I ask you a question?"

"You don't seem like one to ask if you can do anything, but go ahead," Speedy chuckled dryly. Bohusk grinned and punched his arm playfully. Speedy, vaguely wondered how the boy could see in the dark, before dismissing the thought.

"What do you see in her eyes?" Bohusk asked. Speedy halted to a stop and stared at the young man opposite him." I know that may sound weird, but I want to know… BB says he sees a spiral galaxy behind Raven's deep amethyst eyes; something as wondrous and awe-inspiring as Raven is to him. And when I look into Nessa's eyes, I see snow…"

"Snow?" Speedy asked raising an eyebrow in confusion. Bohusk's face was hard to see in the dark, but Speedy swore he saw the hero's face flame a shade of red as he stared at the ground.

"Nessa is pure as light itself and just as wonderful," Bohusk explained," like a snow covered mountain after the first snowfall of winter…"

"Autumn," Speedy said with a soft smile," When I looked into her indigo eyes, I saw all the wonderful things in autumn. It's my favorite season, and when I stared into her eyes, I swear I could see golden leaves falling and smell warm apple cinnamon cider… Camp fires and red mixed with orange leaves… It's inviting, and fiery, and so unique… Just like Swift."

"You passed," Bohusk said. Speedy didn't ask what he meant, because they came to an opening in the cave. They entered a large open rock field; cliffs fifty feet up on either side of them, and a large astronomy tower farther up the rocky path." He's keeping her there. I can just feel her energy… But he's not around. He's probably keeping her here for safe keeping until his next attack…"

"You shouldn't be here brother," Swift said. Both boys looked up to see the small girl a few meters ahead of them on the rocky path. Speedy felt his heart give a painful squeeze at the sight of her. She had changed into a black leotard, cape and combat boots. The only familiar thing about her was her silver star necklace, the onyx charm glinting in the faint moonlight." I thought I made it clear that I was ordered to destroy you… You should have stayed at the tower…"

"You only said that to protect us, Becca," Bohusk said chuckling as his "sister" scowled." Besides, I said we were family; family never leaves the other ones behind. I'm not leaving you Swift… And Speedy here is too attached to say no."

"Becca! Don't you remember us?" Speedy cried. Swift flicked her wrist and a wave of silver energy knocked them both back off their feet. She advanced on them slowly, not taking the time to use her super speed. She was toying with them." Becca, please! I need to hear you say you're still you! I mean I think I-"

"Don't finish that sentence…" Swift said. Her voice was cold and lifeless. Speedy moves slowly towards her. He gazed at Bohusk for one moment and the hazel eyed boy nodded, telling him to go through with his thought." You should have left me be."

"I can't do that," Speedy said in a loving tone. He moved closer to Swift and she took a step back." And you know why, Swift… You walked into that tower today, and stole my heart. You said only a few words to me at first, but when you blushed, and tried to kick me, I knew I had to be with you.." Another step closer." I knew you were the one I would give my own life for, just to protect." Another step. He reached out and touched her cheek now, Swift flinched." I knew from that moment that I needed to make you mine. You were so small and beautiful; but tough as nails and fiery too." He moved to pulled her tightly against his chest now. Swift let him, to stunned to move." I knew from that first moment that I loved you. And when we talked at your party, and I realized how much I had in common with you; how easy it was just to be with you; I had to try to kiss you."

'Don't say these things!" Swift stumbled over her words. Speedy chuckled and kissed her forehead. Swift gave a sigh of contentment and couldn't help but lean closer to his touch. But soon stiffened again." No! I'm a hybrid; a demoness and an outcast! You shouldn't love-"

"But I do," Speedy said smiling and kissing her nose this time." I love you Rebecca Arella Roth, I love you. Whenever I look into your eyes, I'm reminded of that fact and I want to hold you like this all the time. And now, I have to save you, to save me… Because you are my world now and I refuse to live with out you. Before this day, my life was dark; I only lived to save people from villains. Then you appeared and a giant light appeared in my darkness. I can't live without my light, Becca. I can't live with out my Rebecca."

And then he kissed her. He leaned down and kissed Swift with a kiss that made her toes curl and her face flame red. So much pent-up passion was in this one kiss, that the fog over Swift's mind, lifted and she could only think about, see, feel, or smell Speedy. The chip on her neck frizzed and sparked and fell to the ground as Swift threw her arms around Speedy's neck and held him tightly to her. Bohusk cleared his throat and crossed his arms after three minutes of this.

"Sorry," Swift said softly as Speedy pulled his face back from hers. Speedy shook his head to say she was forgiven." I mean for everything… I almost killed you, Roy! And everyone else! I don't think they'll ever trust me again! I want to apologize, but how can you ever forgive-"

"There's nothing to forgive," Speedy said kissing her temple lightly. Bohusk snatched Swift out of the hero's arms and pulled her up into a hug, two feet off the ground." We're just glad to have you back, Becca… Let's get her home and explain to the others what happened…"

The trio hurried back through the cave, holding hands, Swift in the middle, as they ran back home.

"So it wasn't Swift," Speedy finished the story before the Titans," It was Slade all along! She was being mind-controlled by this." He held out the ruined chip and tossed it to Cyborg." She was good after all!"

"Oh joy!" Starfire cried. She ran over and scooped Swift into a bone-crushing hug at the same time Raven and Falcon did." I knew our new sister was not of the evil side! She had to be good!" chirped the Tameranian.

'Yeah," Bohusk said with a smile," She's too small and fairy-like to be a damn villain. Much more suited for making sugar plums and kicking bad guy ass!"

Falcon and Swift sent identical glares at Bohusk, but he remained unphased to their anger. He was too happy to have his sister back. Swift began to cry and held onto her family tight. Bohusk got up and joined the hug, patting Swift's head as she sniffed.

'I'm s-so sor-rry!" Swift managed." If I was only stronger, I c-could h-have stopped S-Slade and this whole m-mess! I only w-wish for you all to f-forgive me!"

No one spoke, because they were all crying now. The Titans East, Bumble Bee, Mas y Menos and Aqua Lad clinging to Swift's left; The real Titans, Robin holding Star's hand and Star holding Swift as Cyborg hugged around her. Beast Boy and Bohusk were behind Swift, patting her head and sniffing away tears. Even A.J. and Joy, along with Raven and Falcon, were crying and blowing things up in the kitchen, but no one cared. And lastly, Speedy was holding Swift's free hand, wiping his eyes.

"Johan don't tell me you're actually crying," Falcon said with a forced chuckle," Not my tough as nails, man! Mr. 'I won't cry for anything', Johan?"

'Shut-up! I have something in my eye!" Bohusk said with a scowl. Swift laughed and pulled everyone in closer. Her family… As crazy, disfunctional and quirky as they were, they were hers. The way they held her tightly told her that much…

Butterfly: So this was my chapter, still sketchy on whether or not this is the last chapter or if Maiden will do the last one, with how Slade reacts.

Robin: Butterfly! Have mercy! Please tell Johan to stop!

Bohusk: She doesn't order me around!

Butterfly: He's right, that's Falcon's job. Any way, R&R readers! Bohusk, put the chicken dance on next! We can see if A.J. can control him to dance along with the music!

Bohusk: I like the way you think little lady. A.J.!

Robin: Mercy!

Maiden: Ok laides and gents of Rock N' Roll (kidding...mostly) i'm writing the next chapter. The final chapter. So keep a watch out for it!
