Sorry For the late update people, but I have my reasons! I know some of you have been waiting in anticipation for this so I am proud to announce that the start of the mini plot Date Night is up! This will be a be going on for three to four chapters and I'll be ending with a short chapter on BB and the other boys! How's that? satisfied? Don't worry though, I'll be sure to add more Jinx and Rae moments before I get to that chapter. Just so you people know, this is my longest chapter yet! That's one of the reasons it took me so long! That and real life has been bitch slapping me in the face, with much repetition
... *sigh* I have a much more exciting cyber life than I do my real life, but can't have everything I suppose.

I own nothing that will lead the suits too me. Nothing! Ya hear? None of the epic people in this story are mine either! No, their are their own person... I hope. Anyway: Exit stage left! Enjoy the show!

The previews were starting, Jinx whispered in Ravens ear, "Drinks, what do you want?"

Raven smirked, "Unless they have tea-" this earned her a sharp look from the feline, "I'll go for water."

Jinx smiled knowingly, "It's a theater. They don't have tea or water."

"Then I guess I'll go without-"

"Two Cokes it is." and with that she departed to the concession stand outside the theater.

Raven sighed in mock frustration, "Dammit, she's stubborn!"

Happy replied flamboyantly, "How else could she stand you? Face it, you like her!"

Love joined the conversation, not miffed at all by the previous dismissal, "Oh, I think we allknow it might be more than that..."

"W-what are you saying Love?" the empath was flustered, "This is just a first date. To- to test the waters..." her thought trailed off unconvincingly.

"Please!" Brave entered, "How can you kiss her and not admit it!"

"Yeah!" Happy eagerly agreed, "That woman knows how to make us purr! And I want more!"

"Who's making who purr now? Hmm?" Lust shocked everyone with her entrance.

"L-Lust! Get out of here! You know I'm on my date with-"

"Please honey! You may not know what you want, but we certainly do. Am I right my sweet little Timid?"

"Y-y-yes, m-mistress." came the feeble reply.

Raven growled to the emoticlone, "Lust, I swear-"

The emotion laughed, "Don't worry, I never touch Timid; to much of a screamer for me anyway."

Raven made a sound of disgust, "I reallydidn't need to know that."

Lust shrugged, "Hey, I'm you... of a sort."

Anger flared up, "WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER?!"

Lust decided to calm the emotion with her own... unique tactic, "Finally, you show up! C'mon, I'll show you something that'll work off that... Fire in you."

Lust retreated, Anger grumbling, but following the other emotion with extreme interest. Love continued their earlier discussion, "Now that there are no more distractions... Raven, we all know what you want." all the other emoticlones, including Love were fading back into her mindscape.

Raven had a spark of genius, one that would alleviate the bothersome emotions and keep her sane for her date, "I'll make you a deal."

"We're listening." Love was patient, even though the others did not share that quality.

"Give me two weeks to decide what I really want, without bothering me for the duration of that time. When the time is up I'll visit Nevermore and will hold council with all of you. Does that seem fair to you?"

Love paused to confirm the opinions of the others; then, "You know as well as I that love can be patient and wait in a locked chest for an enduring eternity. But the others are not as patient as I am... We have agreed to leave the front of your mind and remain in our domains in Nevermore, but only until the two week mark has passed."

Raven let out the breath she was holding, relieved, "Thank you, all of you. I- I just need time to think clearly."

"We know Raven. And we all apologize for our action of late, but we needed you to move with on your life. If you continued you would have remained immobile and alone. We could not allow this and only acted in your best interest."

Raven was not surprised, but still touched by the sentiment, "I know. And I'm... somewhat grateful, if not thoroughly confused... I'll get back to you when the time comes."

"Farewell... And remember, we'll be watching." and she was alone, back in the theater.

The conversation with her emotions had only taken a few minutes, judging by the previews. "I just hope I can keep my head when she comes back..."

Sarah was standing in line for popcorn when she heard the irritated voice behind her, "Well this is just dandy." Sarah turned to see a girl with pink cat eyes, pink hair, and dressed to impress. The girl looked at Sarah apologetically, "Sorry, but I just hate waiting... That and being kept from what I want."

Sarah was intrigued by the girl, "So I'm guessing you're here for The Dark Knight Rises?"

The girl blushed slightly and looked ahead of the line, "That's part of it... I got a hot date."

That explained the clothes, Sarah gave her clothing a second look. Casual and yet it looked date worthy. Sarah put two and two together, "And you agreed to get drinks." she shook her head in sympathy, "Wow, he must be a keeper." the sarcasm was evident in her tone.

The girl pulled a disgusted face, "Ugh... At no point did I mention a man!" she shivered and muttered under her breath, "Snips, snails, and puppy dog tails... blah!" She turned back to Sarah, "I'll stick with the same team, thank you very much."

The awkwardness in the air could have been cut with a butter knife, but then... Sarah laughed, " Wow! I've never heard reasons like that before."

Jinx quirked an eyebrow, "What? Your not gonna put some space between us or something? I figured you were straight."

She waved off the other girls concern, "I am, but you have a date so that means I'm safe." she gestured to herself, "If you wanna keep her then that means I'm off limits."

Jinx fake groaned, "Dammit! I knew there was a catch to this dating thing!"

Sarah played along by patting the other girls shoulder, "Aw! Don't worry, maybe you can find out if she's 'The One'." a confused look passed the other girls face, "What? Don't you know what 'The One' is?"

Jinx shook her head, "I don't believe in 'The One', it's just a bunch of crap."

"Explain why people get married then."

"People get divorced all the time-"

"And they get married to their real 'One' on the second or sometimes third try!"

Sarah presented a good argument and Jinx didn't have anything to counter with, "I- I um... Dammit!"

"I win." Sarah grinned, "So, do you think she's 'The One'?"

Jinx purred and in a creepy tone, "Mmmmm, my precious..."

Sarah cracked up at that, "Easy Gollum!"

Jinx decided to strike back, "So how 'bout you? Anyone special?"

Sarah answered with distant eyes, "No, but... there has been this guy I can't seem to stop thinking about... I've been meaning to talk to him about... some stuff."

Jinx was silent as Sarah ordered her popcorn, then as she ordered her drinks she turned to the girl, "Hey, maybe he's, you know, 'The One' for you."

She shook her head in denial, "Can't be... he's a Titan."

"We're in the same boat then. Wait... Isn't she..." Jinx changed the topic, "So, I didn't get your name."

Sarah looked puzzled, "She looks familiar... I've seen her before!" she decided to answer, "It's Sarah. Sarah Williams. I didn't catch yours either." she extended her hand.

Jinx took the offered hand before she picked up her drinks, "Jennifer Kamalia Wrangler, Jen or Jenny for short." but her mind was stumbling with confusion, "Yep, it's defiantly Terra. But that means..." "So I guess Beast Boy is the one on your mind."

Sarah was taken aback, "H-how-"

Jen waved her off, "Everyone heard something on the news about this biker guy trashing a school; it also said that BB saved a class being held hostage. So I guessed that you were there when you mentioned that this mystery guy was a Titan."

Sarah tried to defend herself, "B-but it could have been Robin or maybe Cyborg..."

Jen nodded, "True... But am I wrong?"

Sarah hung her head in admission, "No."

Jen grinned, "So go talk to him"

Sarah was shifting her gaze, "I- I can't. It's not that simple."

Jen shrugged, "Maybe you'll get the chance tonight, who knows." her eyes fell on the clock, she'd been in the lobby for five minutes! Her eyes widened, "Shit! Sorry I gotta go."

Sarah had finally remembered the girls other name as she watched the feline speed down the hallway to theater twelve. "Oh. My. God. That was Jinx! Isn't she a good guy now?" she gazed at the clock, "Crap! Gotta go." she bolted down to theater twelve, "She just had to be in the same theater as me! I wonder who's she's out with?" She entered the theater and tried to find the ex-thief, but the previously lit theater was now dark and offering the girl little assistance in locating the other woman. "I guess I can tail them... Maybe I can squeeze info about that green guy out of her! I'll just have to wait..." This was best plan she could think of as she settled into her seat.

Little did she know that Jinx had a few more new questions for her date,. She passed Raven her drink as she sat down, "You've got some explaining to do." Raven took the offered drink and set it in the armchair cup holder, "Right now? I thought you wanted to watch the movie."

Raven smirked as she saw the feline shuffle the priorities in her head, "Oh fine! You win." she pointed to her in mock threat, "But you are far from off the hook missy!"

"I wouldn't have thought otherwise." they both turned to watch the movie and sort out their thoughts. Raven, on how she would answer the questions from her date and on how to deal with the annoyance behind them that she sensed earlier. Jinx, on what questions she would ask and how to not ruin the mood for the rest of the night.

*After the movie*

Oh. My. God. "You certainly have good taste." the empath admitted.

Jinx giggled as they walked away from the building, "Told ya! I knew you'd love it!"

"I can't believe the creators got the identity correct." Jinx looked at her for a reaction, Raven remained stoic, "I can't believe they used a billionaire for his identity... it's seems plausible until you take his combat skills into account."

Jinx spun around as the empath questioned the film, "C'mon! I know it's far fetched, but you have to admit it was great."

She conceded, "Yeah, I can't argue there."

"So who was your favorite?"

"Hmm?"

"Who was your favorite actor?"

"Oh, um..." Raven racked her brain to remember the actor, "Morgan Freeman, he was the most believable... I liked a few others, but he seemed like he could have been that person without acting..."

Jinx wasn't convinced, "Say it! You just like him because of his voice."

Raven huffed, "I do not!" then she muttered, "Okay maybe a little..."

"HA!" she pumped her arm victoriously as they walked through the park, "I knew it. Point for Jinx!"

Raven wanted to defend herself... even though the statement was true. "How can anyone not like his voice. Here, try and hate it!" she chanted a few words and the feline went silent as a dark light surrounded them.

Then it was gone and everything was normal. "So that's it?" The quirky woman questioned. She raised her brows and glanced around in alarm as she tried to find the source of a disturbance. "What. The. Hell." The use of profanity amused the empath as she quietly chuckled. Jinx glanced around, trying to find a the source of what confounded her, but found nothing except the air and trees in the park. "Okay, so where is he?"

Her tone was rather demanding, but Raven only seemed to find more amusement in it, "Where is who?" she inquired the feline innocently.

Jinx glanced up at the sky and protested, "She is anything but innocent!"

"I don't make the rules I just follow what's in the script."

She looked to the empath, then back at the sky in shock, "D-did you just talk back to me?"

"No."

she huffed in frustration, "Hey, don't be an ass! And what script? How can you script a conversation as it's happening?"

"Well, I have no idea miss. Why don't you ask that other young woman... who seems to be suppressing her laughter at your predicament."

The feline sighed in frustration as she turned to the other woman, she quickly turned back to the sky, "AND I"M NOT A CAT!" she shook her fist up in the air as if she could press the point. She turned back to Raven, who had regained her composure, albeit with a small smile. "You just had to push it." she flung her arm out to the sky, "Why Morgan Freeman? And- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP NARRATING!"

"Sorry, but it's what I do... And I'll keep on doing it, thank you very much."

She slapped her forehead with an exasperated sigh, "Raven-"

She was cut off by yours truly, "Do you hate my voice now? I thought people love it, but if you want-"

"No!" She cut me off with surprise, "It's just-"

"Unexpected."

She nodded, "Exactly."

Raven had finally decided to intervene, "Would you prefer a more powerful voice?" And with a snap of her fingers-

The voice changed. Raven looked to the stars, a smile not far from her face. But the other young woman was still trying to place the voice. She finally recognized it and petulantly glared at her companion, "I didn't know you were in to Disney."

Raven looked to the other woman and her glare softened, "He's not just from Disney... think about it."

The feline eyes grew clouded with deep thought incurring. The, a flash of recognition, "Oh, didn't he do the voice for Darth Vader? It's... James something."

Raven nodded as she answered, Correct... mostly. His name is James Earl Jones."

"Raven the script is becoming rather clouded... does that mean-"

She cut off the powerful voice of the narrator, "I'm afraid so James."

"I see."

The feline interrupted before I could take my leave, "Wait! Could you go through, you know, the Circle?"

Raven quirked up an eyebrow and gazed at the other girl as she asked, "James, What is she talking about?"

I sighed, "It's a Disney concept... I voiced a character and described what is known as 'The Circle of Life'... With your permission I could explain."

Raven toyed with the idea as her companion eagerly awaited the affirmative. When she caught wind of the others anticipation she conceded with a shrug, "I guess... but after that, you go."

Jinx hugged the empath with a cheer, "Yes! Thank you Raven!"

"You owe me." she muttered, but still pleased that Jinx was pleased.

"Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."

Jinx picked up the que, "But don't we eat the antelope?" Raven looked at her, as if she grew a second head.

"Yes, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." I sighed as I completed the scripted lines. "I'll be off then."

Jinx was laughing hysterically as Raven snapped her fingers. I... began... to fade. I departed with one last quote, "Remember... Who you are."

Jinx was still cracking up, "Oh man, that was so worth owing you anything!"

Raven smirked knowingly, "Are you sure about that?"

Jinx swallowed a lump in her throat as she looked to her date, "I- You can't scare me!" the argument even sounded invalid to her.

Raven approached her and whispered dangerously close to the feline, "Well, good. You'll need all your courage to deal with me tonight." this was emphasized by a long, slow, kiss to Jinxs' neck.

This drew a slight aroused moan from said feline, "There's no way you're a hero."

Raven pulled back, "Oh? Why?"

Jinx was panting slightly, " "cause only someone bad could be so good at what you did."

"You need to be specific." she teased her date.

Jinx groaned, "Way to ruin the mood." she looped her arm through the other girls and led her away from the park. "C'mon."

Raven gave Jinxs' arm a slight squeeze, "Where to now?"

They rounded a corner and Raven caught a glimpse of Drinks and Dregs, "Oh, I think you know."

Ravens eyes sparkled, but quickly were replace with her usual stoic look; if Jinx hadn't seen it she wouldn't have believed it. "So... That's it? A movie and my favorite tea shop?"

Jinx brushed her fingers up the empaths' arm as they walked, "I thought it would give us time to get better acquainted before we hit the final spot for tonight."

"And that would be..." she left the sentence open to prompt Jinx into giving said info.

The feline denied the request, "Nope. You're just gonna have to wait and see for yourself!"

Raven sighed as they walked into the shop, "Really? You're going to leave me in the dark about this?"

Jinx ignored her, "Two teas and Angel Food Cake please."

"What kind of tea?" the waitress was polite as she took their order with a real smile; not a forced one.

Jinx turned to Raven, "You're up."

Jinx turned to the waitress, "Two mint."

"Got it." she punched in a few buttons at the register, "Total is thirteen fifty."

"My lucky number." Jinx muttered as she rummaged around her purse for her wallet. "Go sit. I'll handle this." Raven went to the booth that they meet in a little over a week ago. Apparently the place still hadn't been able to fix their seating problem. Leaving just the booth for seating; luckily for the pair it wasn't all that popular to the public.

Jinx sat across from Raven and the it took all her strength not the pull the thoughts from the felines' pretty little head. "Tell me where we're going next."

She turned the other check, "Nope."

Raven grinned, the grin looked somewhat like the cheshire cat grin Jinx wore, only more dangerous looking, "I'm an empath and a telepath. I can always pull it out of your mind if I want to... So just tell me." the place her hand on top of Jinxs' on the table. "It'll save us both some trouble."

Jinx sported her signature grin, "Nope."

Ravens' smile fade and all that could be seen was curiosity in her eyes, "Jinx, this is the first date-"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I want it to last too, but I want to surprise you... and I know you'll like it!" Jinx was still smiling as she gripped the others hand. "Just trust me, okay?"

"Jinx you don't understand..." the felines eyes grew concerned, "I meant that this is my first date ever."

Jinx balked, that thought had never occurred to her. Did it change her plans? No; it only served to add more fuel to the fire. "Well then, we have a lot to talk about. Let's start with what's up with Wild Man."

Raven prepared herself for the onslaught of questions her answers would bring. "Where do I begin..."

Sarah stared from the dark alleyway as she observed the couple in the window booth. They were just... talking. But about what? About her? She was sure she caught the look of recognition from Jinx. "Why didn't she tell me she was dating another Titan?" she mused about the thought, "Well, I guess it wasn't information she'd share with a total stranger..."

Now Jinx was talking, while Raven took in... whatever the ex-thief was saying. "Why don't I just go in there?" Yeah, that way she might be able to hear them, "But won't Jinx know it's me and then ask Raven to leave with her?" indecision stormed her mind for a few minutes as Jinx stopped talking and Raven continued from... wherever she left off. "Screw it! I'm goin' in!" She walked determinedly to the shop.

Raven accepted that Jinx told Kyd about their relationship almost as well as Jinx accepted BB. She was in the middle of explaining her heritage when a torrent of emotions from the cash register interrupted her train of thought. "This is becoming a regular occurrence." she muttered.

Jinx was confused, "What? Demons having their way with women to create children. Or-"

Raven cut her off with a sharp head jerk to the side, "No. We have company."

Jinx turned to see Terra ordering, "Shit!" she said under her breath. "I can't believe she followed us! I thought you said that he said-" this earned her a look from Raven that read: 'get on with it!' "She wanted a normal life and can't remember right?"

Raven quirked a brow as she used a narrators line against Jinx, "Don't you recall what James said before he left?" she leaned forward until her face was centimeters from Jinx. Her breath had the feline captivated as she spoke, " 'Remember, who you are.' Maybe he was referring to her." she leaned back again, "I won't Garfield to be happy... he's been wallowing in misery for to long."

Jinx stifled a giggle, "I still can't believe that's his name!" then she grew serious as the rest of the sentence sunk in. "Wait... how long has he-"

"Three and a half years." the empath looked crushed by some unseen despair for her friend.

"Three and a half- Good lord." Jinx now had a new found respect for the changling. "How can he fight without anything... anyone?" she looked to the empath, "I know he has the team, but-"

Raven nodded, "It's not the same, believe me I know... At least I'm starting to."

Jinx looked to Terra and then to Raven, grinning, "Want to play matchmaker?"

Raven smiled, a small one compared to the grin Jinx supported, "Sure. Your game, your move."

"Great." Jinx turned to look at Terra. What was with her? She was still ordering! Jinx whistled and this made Terra Jump as she turned, "Hey! Sarah! Over here!" Jinx waved her over.

Jinx Jumped into the seat by Raven as Terra reluctantly sat down in the previously occupied one. "Hey Jen." her voice spoke as if she was a child caught with their hand in a cookie jar. "Sorry."

Jinx was nothing if not frank, "Cut the bull Sarah. We both know that you know who we really are."

Terra flinched and looked up at the two, expecting the fires of hell to rain down upon her. "S-so what are you gonna do with me?"

Raven decided to join in, "Oh, I like her! Straight to the point."

Jinx faked offense, "Hey! I thought that's why you liked me?!"

Raven wrapped an arm around the felines' waist and purred in her ear, "Jealous now, are we?" Jinx was about to protest, but a chuckle from the empath cut her off, "Don't worry, I won't have at anyone else... yet." this earned a growl from her companion. She kissed her to ease Jinxs' anger... it worked all to well. They couldn't focus on the object at hand as their tongues were about to clash.

They were interrupted when someone loudly cleared their throat. They parted slowly and rather reluctantly. "If you finished with the PDA then, I'd like to know what you're gonna do with me."

The waitress set down three mint teas and a whole angel good cake with strawberries and whipped cream, "Enjoy." and she was off, back to the register.

Jinx cut them all a piece and set them in front of the respective females, "Nothing yet. Go ahead and eat the cake before I do!"

She munched away happily and gave sensual moans in between bites. Terra sat there staring at the feline in curiosity, "I-is she okay?"

Raven ate her cake with her regular demeanor and grace, "She just rally likes the cake."

"Okay..."

Raven finished her first piece and started to cut her second; Jinx was already starting on her third. "Let's make a deal."

"A deal?" she took a bit of her cake and her eyes widened in surprise, "No wonder she likes it so much!"

Raven smiled before she took another bite, "Good isn't it?" Terra nodded and devoured her piece in earnest. Raven sipped her tea as Jinx finished her third piece and cut a fourth. "I'll get you one hour to talk with Beast Boy."

Terra eyes sparkled with appreciation as she took it in, along with the rest of her first slice. "Really? Oh, thank you-"

"But," the empath interrupted while whipping away some cool whip, "you have to keep quite about the two of us," she gestured at the feline and herself, "unless we say otherwise."

She got her hands on the last piece before Jinx could finish her fourth, "Deal."

Raven smiled, "Now that we've settled that... We need to find someway to lure him out into the city." she turned to Jinx after she took another sip of tea, "First off, clean yourself up!"

Jinx whipped her face with a few napkins, "Satisfied?" she grinned, "I'm not the only messy eater!"

"What are you, umph-" Jinx had ponced for a kiss and the target was the cream on the side of the empaths' lips. She licked the cream off and gave the area a slight nip before, "Oh, Jinnnxxxx... P-Please-" her cries and moans went heard as Jinx released her to sat down as if nothing happened. Raven tried to compose herself and saw the grin plastered to Terras' face, "You didn't see that!" she snapped.

The grin was still there, "Really Obiwan? Cause I still remember-"

Raven snapped back, "Do you want to see Beast Boy or not?"

That brought her down, "Y-y-yes please!"

Raven smirked, "Good." she turned to the feline, who was sipping her tea, "Secondly, do you have any ideas."

She set down the cup, "We could always fake a distress call."

Raven nodded, "Good idea."

Before either of them could put the plan into action however the alarm on Ravens' com sounded. Terra thought she'd never heard the noise before, "What is it? Trouble?"

Raven flipped open the com and found coordinated to an incursion a few block away, "Looks like we got lucky."

Jinx nodded, "That's my middle name babe."

They pair nodded with grins and dragged Terra away to whatever trouble had started... Hopfully the green changling had not opted out of the mission.

The boys were trying to break each others score on Guitar Hero III when the alarm sounded. Robin immediately went into leader mode and glanced at the monitor then typed a few key at the computer screen. "It's Atlas." he said grimly, reminded of the humiliating capture and being called a 'trophy' for the self proclaimed champion. "He's wrecking Danton and Ford street."

The changling grinned to Kyd who nodded as he prepared his part of the plan. BB had to stall, "Hey, didn't Cy kick his titanium ass like, a long time ago?"

The cybernetic human in question scratched the back of his head nervously, "Heh... Kind of forgot to put him in jail... Since he didn't get away with any illegal stuff."

Robin typed into the monitor to show the chaos from traffic cams on the street, "Doesn't matter now. We have to stop him."

Atlas had upgraded and was now thirty feet tall and had weapons attached to parts of his body instead of separated. He fired a few rockets and lasers at buildings, people running away from the carnage. The machine screamed, "No one can defeat Atlas!"

Cy sighed, "Still as cocky and annoying as ever... Let's go- Wait a minute!" they both turned back to the screen. And were amazed to see Atlas squaring off against a Beast Boy and Kyd. "Hey, do you two have-" he face the couch and saw the absence of the two. "clones?" he finished.

Robin picked up a not left by the duo: Hey guys! Keep on partying without us, we won't be long! Signed, BB and the Kyd. Robin crushed the note, "Cocky little- Why'd I even put him on the team! There is no I in team! He has to work with us.

Cy was watching the screen, "Robin..."

Robin didn't hear him and continued ranting, "Seriously! He's the youngest of us! Show a little respect to the seniors for christ sake!"

"Robin."

"And he was sick until yesterday! What if he's still sick? He could go into a coma in the middle of a fight or-"

"ROBIN!"

Cy finally had his attention, albeit he was annoyed, "What?"

"Look at this." and the two observed the fight. Robin would replay it over and over in later days, but still wouldn't grasp at how amazed it made him feel to watch it unfold at the first moment. It just made Cyborg way more cautious around the changling and scared to sleep at night with a limb detached.

Beast boy and Kyd were tearing Atlas apart. Kyd threw dark portal disks at him and parts of Atlas went... somewhere. To another dimension perhaps? BB morphed into quick agile animals: a smilodon, a tasmanian tiger, a wolf, a prehistoric crocodile, and the rancor. After he pinned Atlas against a building Kyd sliced the parts attaching his arm off. BB shifted into an alien and the xenoform crawled into the hole. Atlas was human once and even though he was robotic now he could still feel. "W-what are you doing? Get out of there!" The xenoform crawled all over the inside of the robotic mass; detaching circuitry, smashing gears, disabling weapons, and causing the 'champ' to fear the green beast.

None of them were aware of the audience they had, both over video and right down the corner of a street, "S-so that's him?" Sarah asked nervously.

"No, he's inside the robot. Kyd is a friend of mine... And don't worry, he's real quiet."

She shook her head, "I'm not worried about that... he just looks scary is all-"

Raven chuckled, "Then why do you want to talk to Beast Boy?"

Sarah turned to the dark Titan, "W-well, when I met him he was nice..."

Raven shook her head, "Poor naïve child. If you watch the fight much longer you'll be to scared to talk to him."

Sarah nervously gulped, "I-i-is he really that scary?"

"I don't know... he can change into any animal at any time... does that frighten you?"

Jinx chided the empath, "Raven!"

Raven help her hands up in surrender. "Sorry, but I want her to know what she's getting into."

Sarah turned to observe the fight, "Fine. I'll try to speak to him."

Raven gave her shoulder a gentle, encouraging pat, "Good. And like we discussed on the way here, I can only give you an hour. If you approach this in the right direction it might be longer if he decides to stay."

Sarah nodded with boosted determination, "Right."

Jinx muttered to Raven, "Are you sure this will work?"

Raven whispered back, "Positive, it worked before."

Jinx gave her a longing look, "When-"

"I'll tell you the story on the way to our next destination."

"Kay."

They watched the scene before them, Kyd was standing in front of the thirty foot machine, arms crossed; apparently waiting for something. Atlas was trashing around, but was causing no further damage. A green spiked tail would burst out at random areas of the robots armor. He almost looked like Swiss-cheese. The roar of the xenoform could be heard from inside. Atlas stopped moving and everyone could tell it was over when his eyes were no longer lit. A knocking noise could be heard from his chest. Then the metal bent upward, then it wrenched violently open! The xenoform screeched from its perch as the robots bloody owl dripped off it and onto the road. The alien dropped down next to Kyd and they high-fived from their peripheral vision as Atlas fell into a portal to jail.

It was an epic Kodak moment, Luckily Jinx had a camera phone and was able to snap a few photos before their posture changed. The xenoform stiffened as in sniffed the air and the three females approached. Kyd embraced Jinx when he saw her. "Yes. Alright... Kyd you're embarrassing me!"

The untangled themselves and she watched Kyd approach Raven. He gazed at her and pointed at her with a threatening finger, Jinx got the message, 'If you ever hurt her-'

"You'll do what?" even the empath got the memo; Kyd stared at her seriously, "Don't worry, I'm not out to hurt Jinx... Beast Boy can vouch for me there." The xenoform gave a breath that sounded the affirmative of the statement. Kyd nodded his satisfaction. "Now back to business..."

Jinx led Kyd away from the gathering, "Do us all a favor, go back to the tower and have fun!"

Kyd glanced at the xenoform, 'What about him?'

Jinx waved him off, "Don't worry about it! He'll be back in an hour and a half. He needs to sort some things out with someone..."

He pointed to Sarah and his eyes widened a fraction, 'I'm guessing that's her... wait... that's Terra!' he gestured in the general direction of the tower. 'What should I tell the guys?'

"First off, you can't speak." this earned a face palm from Kyd, "Secondly, tell them when he'll be back... Oh, and Raven will do something if they try to spy on him!" this earned her a confused look from her friend. She sighed, "Look, those two need privacy-"

Kyd raised a hand, 'I get it.'

She hugged him, "Thanks Kyd."

He steeped away and gave her a salute before heading back to the tower, 'Later!'

Jinx jogged back to the group to watch the drama ensue. As she took her spot beside Terra she heard Raven in mid rant, -And why do you have to be so difficult about this!" this earned her a threatening sounding hiss from the alien. "Don't you talk back to me!" he turned to run, "I'm not done with you yet!" Raven erected a barrier around them to prevent escape. The alien turned and snapped its second mouth at the empath. "Alright then fine! If you're going to be difficult I could force you to stay." Raven started to chant in a mystic tongue

The xenoform lowered it head and collapsed on the ground, writhing in pain. "You're hurting him!" Sarah protested as she watched the alien piteously.

Jinx held her arm to make sure she wouldn't stop the empath, "Watch... you wanted and hour and now you'll get it."

Terra gasped as the beasts form slowly shifted into a humanoid shape and finally into a shivering Beast Boy. She supported him as he sat up, "Wh- what did you do to me?"

Raven had ceased the chant the moment BB was in his original form. She smirked with satisfaction at the successful spell, "I made it so you won't be able to use your powers for an hour."

He panted, "H- how could you do this to me? I thought we were friends!"

She patted his shoulder and looked into his eyes, trying to dissolve the hurt that was forming, "We are... and I'm helping you.

"I didn't want this!"

She lost her patience and slammed him back into the road, "It's not about want! It's about what you need!"

BB coughed and tried to wiggle out of her grip, "What are you-"

"I know." the calm words from her made the changling cease his struggle, he could feel her shaking through her grip on his shirt collar, "I know what you've carried for three and a half years inside you. I know your every single feeling for all that time." The other two females decided it was best not to intervene and observed a few feet away.

BB shifted his gaze to anywhere but the empath, "How could you know. Their my feelings, my-" he stopped mid sentence; the answer was right there!

A tear landed on his face, "My empathic abilities are not voluntary to emotions of certain magnitudes." Beast Boy looked at the empath and felt an overwhelming amount of guilt crush him. He made Raven cry and did so even when he swore he would keep her from crying at any cost. "I've felt your despair, regret, disappointment, everything." she wiped away the tears, "And I swore to myself that if I could make you happy, I would." her face looked determined now as she stood, "I can now and nothing, not even you, can stop me." she offered him a hand.

He sighed, "Fine, you win again Rae." he took the offered hand and she hoisted him up. She left Terra with the burden of supporting the woozy green Titan as she left with her date.

They were silent for about a block, then Jinx spoke, "Is all that true?"

Raven didn't want to recall the painful memories and answered quickly, "Yes... and I will make sure she remembers."

Jinx nodded in support, "It'll all work out." she looped her arm through the empaths again, leading her downtown. "Now, while we're on our way let's continue where we left off. Hmm... We talked about our friends that know about us.

Raven ticked off a finger, "Check."

"We discussed your family heritage, still bad ass by the way, and how you came to Azarath.

Two fingers, "Check and check."

"We discussed my family, what little of it, and how I came from India to America."

Fingers on the other hand, "Check and check... Still can't believe your from India by the way."

She waved that off, "It's the eyes and hair I bet."

"Plus the skin tone."

"Anyway," Jinx got them back on track, "Discussed why you joined the Titans and how I joined with the Hive."

"Check."

"That's everything so far... who's turn is it?"

"Still yours... I never finished about Azarath and my powers."

Jinx cuddled up to the empath as they walked, "Oh yeah! Give me a quick refresher and continue."

Raven smiled, "Right then... There once was a sect called the Church of Blood. They worshiped a deity they name Scath, but was Trigon the Terrible in a guise attempt as to not scare off potential followers... or sacrificial brides and that's how he got to my mother, Arella."

"Sounds like a shitty deal to me." Jinx looked up to the empath with tenderness.

Raven pecked her on the check, glad that she had someone she could talk to that would judge her, "Yes it was. But that was only the beginning for Arella; she eventually had a daughter..."

Whew! That chapter was a monster! But I thoroughly enjoyed writing it! I can say that BB is not entirely happy with his predicament. He wanted Terra to have a normal life and that's what he gave her! To have happiness force upon you! Hmph, some friend Raven is... Ha ha ha ha! I'm sorry, but I couldn't go on. Oh, god! BB is in for the most awkward hour of his life! I wonder if he'll actually get over his grief? Hey, I'm just a catalyst for the story; so don't ask me! We'll I'm about done here so I'll wrap it up: The next chapter will be posted sometime this week (most likely a Wednesday; I like 'em so don't judge me!) and that contest I held has been discontinued due to me being selfish. But luckily you don't read this to judge me right? Your only in it for the story I hope you've grown to love!

Zaan out.

Zaan- Crow Claw all the way!
