Alright, this chapter explains basically the whole romantic part of the story. It was probably my favorite one to write, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. It's another long one…

Author's Note: Please tell me if I have the events in the correct order.

Disclaimer: Heck, I don't even own a video camera to make cheesy reenactments of Teen Titans. So how in the world could I own them?

Chapter 9:

With Questions, There Are Answers

(*)

Beast Boy stepped into the main room, where the others were sitting. Robin noticed him walk in first.

"How is she?" he asked, turning to face him on the couch.

Beast Boy nodded quickly. "She's resting. She's been through a lot."

Cyborg spoke next. "So, in a little less than a year or so, she's been through the end of the world with her demon father's return, and now a once-dragon's revenge leaving her in a coma for almost a month? Geez." He sighed.

"She is very brave." Starfire said, hugging her knees to her chest. They nodded in agreement.

"Of course," Beast Boy said quietly to himself. "She's Raven."

"Cy, Robin wanted me to tell you that the R-Cycle has a flat tire that he needs you to change." Beast Boy called out, stepping into the garage. Cyborg was at work on the T-Car. He rolled himself out from under the car.

"Will do." He said, standing up and wiping his forehead with a nearby rag.

Beast Boy turned to leave when Cyborg spoke again.

"So how long have you liked Raven?"

The shape shifter stopped dead. (AN: BUSTED!) He tried to stay cool."Huh?" he replied casually without turning around.

"Oh come on, B," Cyborg said, leaning against the hood of the car, a smirk on his face. "Rae's like my little sister. I notice these things. You've been acting more mature around her, you've stopped cracking jokes that normally annoy her, you didn't leave her side when she was in comatose, and you kept on holding her hand." He reasoned.

Beast Boy blushed, and turned slightly. "She's my friend." He said, doing a bad job of lying.

"Plus, I saw you kiss her cheek."

'Crap.'

The blush darkened.

"B, it's not rocket science. Anyone can put the facts together," Cyborg said, pulling a chair up for Beast Boy. Reluctantly, he said down.

"Now I'll ask you again. How long have you liked Raven?" the mechanical man repeated.

Beast Boy took a deep breath.

"Is it that obvious?" he said, lowering his head.

Cyborg nodded.

"Okay. You got me," he continued, sighing. "I've liked her for longer than I think I've realized. I think almost as long as we've been Teen Titans. She was so different; mysterious. Before I knew what was going on, I just wanted to make her laugh; to make her smile. I kind of started to realize it right before… Terra came," he sulked at the mention of her name.

He continued. "Then when Terra showed up, I completely forgot Raven. When Terra betrayed us after our first date, I thought that I would never be able to recover from that much pain. I told myself to never fall for anyone again.

"Then, when she sacrificed herself to get rid of Slade, my heart broke even more. I don't know why, but it did. For awhile, I visited Terra's statue day after day, but I knew things would never be the same, even if we brought her back. You guys told me that you would bring her back for me, but I don't know if I want that anymore."

Cyborg nodded to show that he was still listening.

"But I wasn't the only one who was tricked into love and then was betrayed. Somewhere along the way, Malchior came for the first time. Seeing Rae with someone, seeing her laugh at his jokes, seeing her smile at him, it made me get… jealous. And then, just as soon as it started, Malchior betrayed her, just like Terra had done to me. Raven was just as cut up as I had been, but I had a feeling that Raven had it even worse. She was supposed to be emotionless, until he came. Then he shattered her heart. I was mad too, especially when I saw her right after she had released him as a dragon. That night, I went to comfort her, and she actually hugged me. I felt bad though, because I was so shocked to hug her back. Then you showed up and chucked a stank ball at me," he gave Cyborg an annoyed look.

Cyborg's eye widened. "Yeah… sorry about that."

"And then, like not even a week later, the whole me-turning-into-a-beast-but-still-saving-Raven thing happened. After you gave me the antidote, Raven found me out of the island. I made a joke, and she told me that we were 'having a moment'. Stupid me brought the joke up again…" he sighed.

"Then Trigon came, and the thought of Raven dying almost killed me. Seeing her in that much pain, seeing her cry, it broke my heart too. I think it was after Trigon was defeated that I starting realizing my feelings for Rae again."

Beast Boy squeezed his eyes shut, knowing what happened in the story next.

"And then, I thought I saw Terra again. I ditched Raven again for Terra, and it wasn't even her. She didn't know anything about me and she cast me out of her life. Now, looking back, I was stupid to forget Rae again."

"Given." Cyborg said.

"And now, Malchior returns. He puts Raven in a coma and a millimeter away from death's grip. I once again realize how I would feel if Rae… let's not even go there. Then I knew that if she made it out… alive… that I would never leave her again. I realized how much I need her and how much I really do care about her. All those feelings that I had to push down to back room for Terra came up to the surface, and I don't plan on pushing them down ever again." Beast Boy finally finished.

"Geez, B. I didn't know that you had a speech prepared for this." Cyborg said jokingly. Beast Boy blushed again and shrugged. "You asked!" Beast Boy rebutted.

"But now I understand your method. Last time Rae was this close to… you know… was when her father came back. And Robin was the only one that could play hero because of the agreement with Slade. Now, you're trying to prove to Raven that you care about her with the whole 'staying by her side' thing." Cyborg said, getting up and grabbing a cloth to polish the T-Car's windshield.

"I guess so. I really wasn't there for her during the whole Trigon thing. Of course I cared, but I really didn't show it. We almost lost her then, and I didn't realize it. I guess my mind didn't want to believe that she actually was… gone… until Robin brought her back. I still feel bad about that…" the changeling admitted.

He remembered giving her a lucky penny that he had found earlier that day. The day that the poor girl had become Trigon's portal. And he remembered how she had held onto it until the very end.

That gave Beast Boy an idea.

"I wouldn't worry about it, B. The whole Trigon thing is something Raven wouldn't want to spend hours reminiscing on anyways. She's got enough going on right now, and who would even want to remember the time that they almost destroyed the universe?" Cyborg replied, dipping the rag into the water again.

Beast Boy nodded and stood up. Helping Cyborg with the T-Car had become Raven's thing. He was about to head back to his room when a thought struck him.

He turned to face the robotic man.

"So how long have you liked Bumblebee?"

Okay, so I was wrong. This is the longest chapter. But it's probably one of the most important ones, too. And I hope you liked the ending to this one. CyBee is another one of my favorite Titan couples. I hope I got all of the events in order. Please tell me if I did, because my brother and I have started arguing about if I did or not. Haha.

Please Review. :D

Sorry that I didn't update a lot today. I had a minor medical issue. It's all good now. Keep reading, fellow BBRae lovers!

Love, Liz.
