Chapter 3

The Titans returned home after their outing, and went immediately to the Common Room. They put the pizza box they had brought with them onto the kitchen table and went to the couch. Cyborg turned on the TV, as the other's sat on the couch. The news came on and it was explaining how the Titans had defeated Control Freak. After a little while of listening to the news, they decided that someone should go and find Beast Boy and give him his food.

"Alright y'all, I think I'll go and give BB his pizza," Cyborg said as he started to stand up. But before he could even take his first step, Raven was already in the kitchen area. "Uh, Raven, what are you doing?"

"I'll bring it to him," Raven replied. She picked up the pizza box and proceeded to the door.

"Uh, you sure Raven, I can do it," Cyborg said. He was afraid that she and Beast Boy would get into an argument over what happened earlier.

"No, its fine, I need to mediate anyway," Raven said as she went through the doors leaving the other Titans in the Common Room.

It was partly true, she did need to mediate but, she also needed to talk to Beast Boy, wanted to get a few things straight, and thank him for earlier. She walked the halls of Titans Tower, until she stood in front of Beast Boy's room. She breathed in and out and then knocked on his door. She waited a moment, but there was no response. She tried knocking again and called his name. After a moment, there was still no response and she knew that he was not in his room.

She thought about where he could be if he wasn't in his room or in the Common Room then, he could be in the Training Room. She left the front of his door and proceeded there. After a couple of minutes of walking, she was close to the Training Room, and she started to hear music playing. Once she was at the Training Room doors, she walked through them and the music she heard was much clearer. It was not heavy metal, but more like a fast pace rock, that is good for exercise.

She looked around the Training for a moment and saw Beast Boy punching the punching bag. He had on a wife beater shirt and the pants part to his uniform. From her point of view it looked as though he had been sweating profusely, which meant he was getting in a good workout. Raven watched him as he continued, not wanting to interrupt him. She had heard him grunt with each punch he was doing. After about a minute though, she decided that she had enough of watching him workout and went over to him.

Beast Boy was punching the punching bag, continuing his workout that he started when he had arrived home. He was so focused on it that he was completely unaware that someone was watching him. Then he heard something that sounded like someone clearing there throat, and stopped hitting the bag, and turned the top part of his body to look behind him. He then saw Raven standing there with a large box in her hands. He breathed in and out one time slowly and looked back at the bag; he then gave it one last punch, hard enough to make the bag shake.

That last punch startled Raven internally for a moment, but on the outside she looked unfazed. After hitting the bag she saw him walk over to the bench near the bag and pick up a towel and put in on his head. He used his right hand to dry the sweat of his head and neck. He then let the towel dangle around his neck and picked up a bottle of water, and drank it to cool him off.

He then, walked back over to Raven with water in his hand and a towel around his neck. He stopped a few feet in front of her and drank a gulp of water one more time before setting it on the ground. "Yeah?" Beast Boy asked, wandering what Raven would want with him.

Raven sighed and started talking. "We brought you some pizza, since you said you wanted a slice or two," Raven said to her green friend. She then opened the box which showed a whole vegetarian pizza. "We made sure to get you a vegetarian pizza, with no meat on it, even though Cyborg insisted on putting bacon on it to give it flavor." Raven handed him the pizza box.

Beast Boy looked at the pizza he had for a moment and then closed the box. He set it down next to his water and then looked back at Raven. "Thanks, anything else?" Beast Boy asked in a deadpan voice.

Raven did not expect his voice to sound like that, but she still needed to talk to him. "Yes. First I wanted to say thank you for your help against those standees," Raven said in a kind voice, so it sounded more sincere.

"No problem," Beast Boy replied with his arms folded across his chest.

After hearing his "welcome," Raven continued, "And second, I was hoping to clear up what I said earli-" But Raven stopped when she saw a hand in front of her face. This confused her as to why he was stopping her from talking.

Beast Boy lowered his hand and then began to speak, "Ok Raven, I'm gonna stop you right there. I really don't want to talk about it. It's over, I'm Done. I'm not mad," He wanted to make it clear that he was done, not mad.

"But why, most people would be furious, myself included. And I'm unclear as to why you say "I'm Done," Raven stated, wanting a clear answer from him.

Beast Boy sighed and continued, "Raven, there is no point in being mad anymore, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of getting nowhere with you, I'm tired of you thinking I'm a nuisance. So when you said what you said, I wasn't mad at you. I'm just done trying to get through to you," Beast Boy said. He picked up his pizza and water and went to the door. Beast Boy stopped just a little bit in front of it and spoke once more. "We're still teammates Raven, but that's it. You should think of this as a positive, now I won't bug you anymore. You can have all the free time you want."

Beast Boy took a few steps forward and the door opened. Just before he was about to leave he said one last thing, "Thanks for the pizza though." And with that he walked into the hallway, leaving Raven to her thoughts as to what just happened.

One Month Later…

The Titans were in the Common Room enjoying their day, since there had been no reported crime activities in the city. Beast Boy and Cyborg were on the couch playing there space racing game. They were trying to make one another crash so that one could win. Robin was on the computer updating the scanning system and the criminal database. Starfire was in the kitchen making one of her Tameranian dishes for her friends to try once it was complete. Raven was also on the couch near the end of it, reading a thick brown book.

This is how it usually was all the Titans would do their own thing, while in the comfort and company of each other. Once Robin had finished his updates, he went over to the kitchen to help Starfire with whatever creation she was making. This left Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven alone in the living part of the Common Room.

Cyborg and Beast Boy were continuing their game and it looked like it was almost over. They were neck and neck that is until Cyborg's car hit Beast Boy making him tip back enough so that Cyborg would be the first to cross the finish line. "Boo-yah!" Cyborg exclaimed after winning his race.

"Dude that was so cheating!" Beast Boy exclaimed for his defeat.

"Sorry B, but jus cuz` you lost doesn't mean I cheated. Maybe you just need to improve your skills. Although, no matter how much you improve it still isn't going to be enough to beat me," Cyborg stated happy with his victory.

Beast Boy was upset and threw his arms across his chest and said, "Whatever dude. I'm gonna grab a snack." And with that he walked over to the kitchen. He passed Raven going around the coach, and did not make eye contact with her. As for Raven she saw him walk by and glanced at him walking by.

Sighing, Raven closed her book as memories of the last month fluttered in her mind. It had been a month since their conversation in the Training Room, and Beast Boy had kept his word. He had stopped perusing Raven, this including telling her jokes, playing pranks on her, and almost not talk to her. They still did talk, but it was never more than a hello, good morning, or just an exchange of strategy during a battle. At first Raven, was enjoying the peace. She had managed to mediate much longer without interruption.

However, not everything was not made to last. The other Titans knew when she needed her boundaries, and now that Beast Boy was doing the same, she felt a little more alone. She always did hang out with the others, whether it was for food, training, or going to the park. But they usually would let her do her own thing, and only ask her if the others were all doing something. No one had tried to drag her. Raven went to take a sip from her tea when she saw that it was empty. She got up and took her empty cup to the kitchen area.

She went to the stove and poured herself a new cup of tea. She took a sip of the warm tea, and it gave her a calming feeling. She looked at the room and saw all of her friends. Robin and Starfire were still in the kitchen as well cooking. Cyborg was playing another game by himself this time. And Beast Boy was at the table eating a salad.

Raven walked over to the table and sat down across from him sipping her tea. Beast Boy looked at her for a moment, before closing his eyes and continued eating. Most times, quiet is considered comfortable and calming, but now it was tense and unbearable. After a few moments of silence, other than the noise of Beast Boy eating quietly, Raven felt uncomfortable again, like she had lately in front of him.

"So, Beast Boy how's the salad?" Raven asked hoping to get something out of him.

He gulped down the food he had in his mouth and said, "Fine." His eyes were still closed, so he would not make eye contact with her. Raven looked at him again and sighed. This is how it usually was one word responses or barely speaking.

"So, anything new with you?" Raven asked. She wanted him to talk at this point.

"Nope, same old, same old. You should know Raven we live in the same house," Beast Boy replied as he finished up his salad.

"Oh, right," Raven said and then took another sip of her tea. Beast Boy picked up his bowl and walked over to the sink.

Beast Boy put his bowl into the sink and then walked to the door. He was stopped when he heard someone talking. "Beast Boy, don't forget that we have training today," Robin stated as he placed the dish into the oven and set it to cook.

"Alright dude. I'm gonna go take a nap, just wake me when its time, ok," Beast Boy said to his leader with a smile. And with that he left. The other Titans then presumed with their tasks.

Raven was still on the table as she watched him leave. It was uncanny how his personality could suddenly change. He seemed almost cold to her at the table, but then all of a sudden be happy when he talked to Robin. On the outside it seemed he was back to normal, but Raven was not so sure. She then thought that he was probably still upset over what she had said about him.

Raven sighed and then made a decision, one she would hopefully not regret. She would have to get Beast Boy to, act like Beast Boy around her again. It was something that she hoped would never have happened. She was starting to miss the old Beast Boy.
