Raven and Chance walk about three miles before Ravens communicator rung.
"Hello?" Raven said, really wishing she did not have to answer it.
"Raven, you left without saying goodbye." Robin said back to her. "My plan was to talk you out of it."
"Oh, well the best laid plans of mice and men often go array. Bye then." Raven said annoyed. She hung up. "I should throw this away." She said, going towards the trash can.
"What? No. . .what if Slade tracks us down, and then we need help. Or if something happens at the Tower? Don't you want to know?" Chance said. Raven was annoyed at how right he was.
Back at the Tower, Cyborg was running some last tests on Beast boy. "He should wake up soon; I just gave him an injection in his arm. It should wake him up."
"What are we going to tell him?" Terra asked. Cyborg gave Terra a strange look, clearly meaning for Terra to explain what she meant.
"About Raven." Terra said shortly.
"Just tell him that she quit, he doesn't need to know that we fought with her, and yelled that you wanted her to leave." Cyborg said, his words quiet, making it easy to tell that he was feeling guilty.
Moments later Beast boy woke up. "What happened?" He asked looking from Cyborg to Crystal, then Starfire to Terra, and finally to Robin.
"You got hit hard, you were out for three days." Cyborg said.
"That's not what I meant, I know I got hit. I mean why do you all look like someone died." Beast boy said pausing for only a moment, "Where's Raven?"
All at once, the Titans looked at the floor. "She- she didn't get hit did she?" Robin said looking at Cyborg.
To Beast boy's relief, Cyborg shook his head. "Oh good," Beast boy went to get up but Cyborg held him down.
"Now where do you think your going?" Cyborg half yelled.
"I was going to go get some food, then to see Raven." Beast boy said, and at once the titans looked at the floor again.
"We have to tell him sooner or later." Terra wispered.
"Tell me what?" Beast boy said.
"Well," Terra said softly, "Raven quit the team after you got hit. She felt it was her fault."
"No." Said Beast boy firmly, "No, that isn't true. It can't be." Cyborg went to say something, but Beast boy spoke firmly, "Leave me alone." Then at the sight of there hurt faces, he added a "Please." The Titans filed out of them room quietly.
" Beast boy." Robin said from the doorway, "She still has her communicator." Then he left.
Beast boy reached over and lifted his communicator, when he picked it up, he found a small paper under it, and he unfolded it.
Beast
boy,
I
am sorry I could never tell you this, but I always liked you too. I
left the Titans and I don't plan on coming back. I have my
communicator on me, and if I ever come to town, I will visit. Chance
and I are headed south. . .we're not sure were we are going yet.
I
never told the Titans that you and I kissed, and I think it would be
best if you did not mention it either. The only one who knows is
Chance, but he won't tell. It is up to you if you want to tell
them, but I don't think it will turn out well.
Please,
don't blame yourself for this. Being a Teen Titan was great and the
best part of my life. I really hope that we don't lose touch.
Love
always,
Raven
Beast boy read the letter over three times, then picked up his communicator.
"Hello?"
Chance answered the communicator.
"Chance, put Raven on.
Please"
Beast boy said.
"No can do. She's sleeping. First time she
slept in a while." Chance said back, not helping Beast boy's
mood.
"That was an order not a request." Beast boy said
back strictly.
"Fine." Chance angrily mumbled. There
were a few minutes before Ravens face came into view on the camera.
"Hello?" She said, clearly half awake.
"Raven,
its Beast boy. I -" But Raven dropped her communicator, he heard
Chance screaming and Raven yell a 'Leave him alone'. "CYBORG!"
Beast boy yelled. Cyborg came running in. "Ravens in trouble."
