(A/N: I'm on fire! This is going to be the last chapter before character death. And it's just going to be plain fluffy, well, no it's not but…whatever…So yeah.)

Chapter 2

Keep Your Friends Close, but Your Enemies Closer

It was 2am and Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Colad and Terra was still up playing Monopoly.

Colad rolled the dice and sighed as it came up as a one. Picking his piece up, he moved it towards the jail cell and sighed once again.

Robin just smirked as he overtook the lycanthrope, even having the nerve to make his figure do a little dance.

Raven rolled her eyes at the two boys before placing her figure into the jail cell also as her dice landed on a one too.

Cyborg smiled wider than even Robin, moving six spaces ahead of them all apart from Robin which he only moved one two spaces ahead.

Terra just managed to escape jail.

"We've been playing this for a whole 4 hours…Can't we go to sleep?" Colad groaned, flicking himself in the eye to make him stay awake.

"No way! I'm not losing to you guys! I'm going to stay awake the longest…" Terra yelled confidently only to be silenced by Speedy shouting 'Shut up you stupid wankers!'

Raven raised her eyebrows at the archer as he snuggled into his pillow - kissing it gently.

"Charming…" She muttered, not feeling the tiredness in her eyes but hearing it in her voice.

"Well guys…" Cyborg began, stretching and scratching his head. "I'm going to play on my game station."

"You can't, Speedy, Aqualad and Bumble Bee are sleeping on there." Robin murmured, his muscles aching from sitting in the same position for too long.

Cyborg turned and gave them all a smirk.

"I'll just have to sit on Bee's head."

Raven shook her head, disapproving his act immensely.

"Though, he's got every reason to be furious at her…She did cheat on him…And to be honest, he does deserve someone better than her." Raven thought, watching her friend walk slowly towards the couch.

"Hmm, someone like you?" Intelligence piped up, awaking from her nap. (A/N: Don't ask me about that.)

"Don't be ridiculous. I love Colad, not Cyborg." Raven snapped back at her emotion angrily.

"Touchy." Intelligence replied.

"Would you fuck off?" Raven growled.

"Already gone…"

Cyborg didn't sit on Bumble Bee's head, in fact he sat on the floor whilst plugging his controller in it's socket.

Raven shook her head and turned towards Colad, who was staring at the troubled Cyborg with a faint smile.

Getting up, Colad tip toed towards Cyborg, his head tilted to the side and a friendly smile on his face.

Raven watched him go, her own smile coming slowly on her face.

"You understand him…Don't you? In a way, you understand him more than Robin. You understand why he's hurting, because you were hurt that way. Everyone in your life left you alone too…Didn't they Colad? If anyone can help him Colad, it's you or Robin."

Turning her head, her eyes met with Robin's mask. Robin nodded lightly before continuing with his game.

However even if Raven couldn't see what he was looking at, she swore on her own life that Robin was gazing at Cyborg's back.

Colad just simply gazed at Cyborg's right cheek as he watched his mechanical friend play on his latest racing game. Colad studied the controls with his one eye whilst studying Cyborg with his other.

He grinned as Cyborg cursed at losing again.

"Y'know lycan boy. If you want to say something, you better had say it quick." Cyborg grunted, pressing the pause button.

"You should move on my friend." Colad just smiled, he's annoying little smile.

"Already have man." Cyborg answered.

"Oh? Okay then."

Colad's smile grew wider, nodding he left Cyborg to play on his game, once returning to the Monopoly game he was questioned.

"Are you just going to leave him like that?" Terra asked, her eyes searching Colad's to try and figure out his tactics.

Colad nodded, looking back at Cyborg before returning his dark gaze towards Raven - smile growing by the second.

"Ah." He whispered, before tossing the dice again.

OXOXOXOXOXO

Starfire slowly opened her eyes, the dark night shining brightly on her skin. Looking towards her right, she smiled lightly. She had fallen asleep on Beast Boy's chest.

Rubbing her eyes, Starfire glanced at Beast Boy's arms to see if he had a watch on. 2:49am. Sighing, she lay back down next to her little gorftog before yawning.

"By Tamaran, that was an earthly sleep…" She whispered, before stretching to loosen her muscles.

She froze when she heard a sleep voice next to her.

"Jeez Kori, thanks for punching me in the face."

Turning her head around to face the area where the sound was coming from, she gasped to see her stretched fist in Beast Boy's face.

"I-I am sorry Garfield, I did not know or feel your skin against my fist." Starfire apologized, moving her fist quickly away from Beast Boy's cheek.

Beast Boy chuckled, he loved Starfire when she was apologizing for something she didn't know or something she did that made people angry - not that people dared get angry with Starfire because of what would happen to them if Beast Boy found out.

"Hmm." Beast Boy murmured, gazing warmly at the alien girl above him. "We've stayed here for what seems ages you know Kori?"

"Oh! Yes…Maybe we should go back?" Starfire got up but was pulled back down by her leg.

"Oof!" Beast Boy groaned under the extra weight on his chest, but smiled as Starfire laid her head against his chest.

"Did that hurt?" Starfire asked innocently.

"A bit." Beast Boy admitted as her chin dug into him.

"I am sorry my gorftog."

Beast Boy slapped his face at the annoying but cute little nickname she gave him.

"Star - I mean Kori, why am I a gorftog?" Beast Boy asked, trying to figure out what beautiful meant in Tamaran.

"Because Garfield, you are my little gorftog." Giggled Starfire, messing with her gorftog's hair. (A/N: Oh man. I'm going to start using that to people.)

"Can't you call me sexy lord and Master Dudette?" Beast Boy asked, laughing weakly as Starfire gave him a serious look.

"I cannot call you that Garfield! It is forbidden!" Starfire said, her smile turned into a straight line. (A/N: I'm not sure if that's possible but…)

Beast Boy frowned.

"Why? Why is it forbidden?" He gulped, hoping that aliens couldn't hear him now so they'd try and kidnap him.

"Because friend Raven says, no woman should ever let a man to tell their girlfriend to call them three words!"

Beast Boy couldn't help but smirk.

"Oh man Colad, no wonder you came out of Raven's bedroom with a black eye once. Heh, he's definitely got his hands full with Raven." Beast Boy thought happily.

"Well…You know Raven isn't always right Star - Kori." Damn, he just couldn't cope with calling her Kori! It was so different.

Starfire tilted her head, her lip out as if she was pouting, nevertheless Beast Boy knew that she did this when she was thinking very hard on what to say.

Beast Boy blushed whenever she did this. He didn't know why, he just found it…Kinda cute.

"But Garfield, friend Raven has never been wrong before." She finally answered, her lip still out.

"Who told you that?" Beast Boy tilted his head in question. Who on earth could have told Starfire that apart from Raven herself? Damn him for being stupid!

"Why, friend Colad told me. He's exact words were 'Hey Starfire, want some advice? Raven is always right!' He also had a big bruise on his left of the cheek."

Beast Boy smirked again.

Then an idea popped into his head. A perfect idea!

Taking Starfire by the hand, Beast Boy let out a friendly grin to match even Colad's.

"We're going to the zoo!" Beast Boy called out to the world before pulling Starfire along, his gentle smile turning into a smirk once more.

"But Garfield!" Starfire yelled as she was dragged along onto the pavement. "Everything shall be closed, and the zoo animals shall be asleep! We must not disturb their nightly slumber! What if they do the attacking? Or the snoring? Or the smelling? Or what if they eat my stomachs? Or your stomach? Little Gorftog! Please!"

Beast Boy blushed. God damn you Star, you always use that stupid little nickname when you think you can use it against me. But, not this time! Nope! It won't work on me this time!

OXOXOX

He chuckled warily, he didn't want to piss these people off. However, this was important, it was for his family, and he wouldn't ever let people like this get in his way.

"You know what has to be done don't you?" He asked, his sandy blonde hair getting in his eyes.

They growled, as if he had insulted them in a way that only they could understand and punish.

"Of course we do! We're the top assassins in Jump City, we know what we're doing and who we are supposed to assassinate." With that, a sharp knife was thrown to pin down the man's hair. "Never doubt us again. We know what he looks like. We know what this job means to you…Doubt us again…" Again he threw another knife just to sink into the man's shoulder, he didn't wince. "Or you will be next!"

Nodding, he gently pulled the knife out of his shoulder and out of his blonde hair just to throw against his desk.

"Bastards." He murmured.

OXOXOXOXO

"Starfire!" Beast Boy whispered hastily, trying to keep the apprehensive expression off his face.

Starfire gave him a look of disappointment.

"I mean Kori!"

Starfire giggled, placing a hand over her mouth to hide it horribly.

"Come on! You can fly, just fly over the gate!" Beast Boy said softly, trying to get his girlfriend over this gate was actually quite hard.

"Hmm…I am too tired to fly at this particular moment." Starfire replied with an odd hint of playfulness.

"Dudette! You're doing this on purpose!" He whined, stomping his foot like a spoilt brat.

Starfire was beginning to sound pissed.

"Have you forgotten what day it is?!" She huffed, her arms crossed and her back to the zoo gates.

Beast Boy was very tempted to say 'Gorb Gorb, the day of exterminating curtains' well that was what Cyborg had said it was called.

"Um. No." Beast Boy lied.

Bad move.

"Then what is it?" Starfire asked, her lip pouted out. Trouble was, she still looked adorably cute; just very scary looking as well. A bit like Raven in a way.

"Um, well. Ow. Dudette." Beast Boy scratched the back of his head, the sweat dripping off his neck.

"You do not remember Garfield!" Starfire yelled, her eyes a blazing green.

"Shh!" Beast Boy said, even though he was equally as loud. Slumping his shoulders, he gazed at the redhead that was behind the gates. "Okay, so I forgot Dudette…What day is it?"

Starfire still didn't look the slightest bit impressed or even happy. Wearing a frown she sighed lightly. "It is the number of the day when we first kissed Garfield."

"Oh man, I'm not good with this kinda stuff. Let me think about this, what would Colad say? Or even Cy? Let me think…"

Suddenly, Colad appeared in his mind, his eyes looking at him lazily. "Well duh brain, why don't you go kiss her? Make up for lost time eh?"

"Typical."

"Garfield?" Her voice sounded like drums in his ears; he knew that it was a quiet whisper though.

"Sorry Kori, I just…Was having a good time." He's ears flopped down, he'd really blown it this time. "With you." He added.

A giggle.

He looked up, he's eyes wide. Starfire was giggling?

Flying over the gates, she flew directly over him, before giggling again and making herself drop.

Beast Boy instantly let his arms wrap around her as she fell into his arms, making him drop to the floor.

"Apologies, I forget that I am taller than you." She let her gaze stop at his matching emerald eyes. "Apologies again, I did not mean to make you feel so…'low'?"

"I guess you can make it all up…" Beast Boy replied, his smirk more sly than a cunning tiger.

Starfire's eyes widened, she looked away quickly, hiding her blush well.

"I am not ready for the sex." She mumbled quietly enough so that only he could hear it.

Beast Boy's eyes began to water, the sweat dripping off his neck so frequently it felt that an ocean was dripping out of his uniform, his muscles began to tighten and his vocal chords felt all twisted.

"K-Ko-ri. What made you think I was talking about THAT?" Beast Boy pulled on his clothes, trying to breathe and violently failing.

"Friend Raven…"

"Oh god. I didn't mean that!" Beast Boy protested, trying hard not to picture Starfire naked.

Starfire looked at him, her head tilted, her teeth on her lower lip.

"Oh." Then she hugged him around the neck.

Then the red lights on their belts beeped.

OXOXOXO

30 minutes earlier

Colad was leaning against his old work place. He had told the others that he was going out to get something for Speedy who was to lazy to get off his arse and go get it himself.

The shop was closed but would soon open in 10 minutes. He could wait that long - he could wait for 10 years and act like nothing had happened.

He sniffed the air, his senses were clouded today and that worried him enormously. If he couldn't sense - he could be in trouble right now and not notice it because of his stinking nose.

Maybe he should ask Raven to marry him today? Or over dinner tonight? He had planned it, of course he had planned it.

He just didn't know when.

How about Beast Boy? Would he propose to Starfire? Of course not, they'd only been together for 6 months whilst he and Raven had been together for one whole year.

"Still, that's a bit early, even for me. Maybe I should wait for a bit. Yeah, about another 24 months or something."

However, thoughts of marriage was long forgotten when he was pulled into a dark alleyway.

OXOXOXO

All of the Titan's lights beeped.

"How did it go?" He said into the microphone.

"Target, Colad Quince is slowly dying." Came the buzz from the handheld phone.

"Good, you made sure that it was something that witch from those Teen Titans couldn't heal didn't you?"

" Of course, we must move quickly, somebody has reported us to the Teen Titans. We shall come back to the base as quick as possible. If we do not make it. Run for your bloody life."

Nodding silently, he put the phone down.

"Good fucking riddance. You scheming bastard Colad."

Smiling, he began to pack his suitcase.
