When Raven and Beast Boy and returned to Jinx and KF the two had finally stopped making out, though the two were quite dishevelled Jinx's hair has out of her ponytail and messed up. KF had light purple lipstick all over his face with his red hair he resembled a clown.
They both wore huge grins.
"You guys are going to have to stay with us at the Tower now," said Raven
"We need you to help us find the others," continued Beast Boy.
As Beast Boy and Raven made their way back to the T-Ship KF and Jinx hung back and had a conversation of their own.
"I didn't know they trusted me enough to ask me to help," said Jinx looking at KF questioningly.
"Last time I checked, Miss Jinx, you didn't care whether or not they did. So what did you really want to ask me?" replied KF slyly.
"Oh its nothing really just…did you notice how Beast Boy finished Raven's sentence and how he was all protective of her? I think he loves her, Wally," said Jinx.
"I've known the Titans for years Charm, Raven and Beast Boy are close; they tell each other things. Things that Raven would never tell Star, and that Beast Boy would never tell Cyborg, but that's all Charm they are most definitely not in love," said KF assuredly. "When did you become such a matchmaker anyways?"
"When I met you, everyone should be as happy as we are," said Jinx while blushing, and do not call me Charm, I'm still not a breakfast cereal."
"They say I'm the romantic one," said KF before leaning down to kiss her.
When they arrived at Titans Tower Jinx and KF were given the guest rooms with an adjoining bathroom next to the living room. While they were settling into their room Beast Boy and Raven were studying the clues they had to Mackenna. The note she had sent to taunt them, the yellow envelope that had lured Cyborg away from them.
"We are never going to find them if we cant figure out how she transported them out of the Tower," said Beast Boy slumping onto the couch exasperatedly.
"Well it was definitely magic," said Raven slumping against him "If it was technology Cyborg would have picked it up."
Reading the unspoken message in her words Beast Boy got a new glint in his eye
"Raven this is not your fault, we'll find the magic and get Mackenna," said Beast Boy holding her by both shoulders and look straight into her sapphire eyes with his bright green eyes.
"I'm supposed to be the 'magic' girl, Beast Boy, and I couldn't stop it I should have been able to sense it or-or-or something!" and with that Raven lost her carefully kept control that had kept her strong for the two weeks her family had started to disappear and started to cry and sob.
Beast Boy was shocked; he had never seen Raven cry, not even on the day that was the end of the world. He wanted to rage with her or cry too. Except he could not when Raven was loosing control so he did the only thing that made sense. Beast Boy wrapped his arms around her and let her cry into his shirt.
She cried for a long time but Beast Boy was not going to abandon her so he held her for the three hours that she sobbed until they quieted in to sniffles and finally silenced. When they stopped all together Beast Boy expected her to shut down and flee the room like she did when it became too real. But instead she surprised him. She didn't let go she just kept on holding him, almost cuddling into his chest and then she fell asleep.
As Beast Boy looked at her pale face finally peaceful in sleep, he realized he was stroking her hair. He couldn't help it. He loved her; he always had under all the bickering, teasing and bad jokes, he had always loved her.
But he could never tell her because Raven didn't feel the same way. They could never be like Starfire and Robin. That didn't bother him he would love her any way, and that was his last thought as he drifted off to sleep.
