Two weeks had passed since the Titans last battle with the Brotherhood of Evil. Robin had wondered what happened to Slade and Raven told him that she and Slade had a go around and then he disappeared. Robin knew that Slade was still out there but right now he would not obsess with him and just stay focused that his friend was back with them alive and well. Beast Boy's recovery was not an easy one. Aside from all of his physical wounds his mind was a shamble do to that device Slade had used to get Beast Boy to talk. Raven had not left his side the entire time he was recovering. She had used her healing abilities to heal his physical wounds and talked with him about what Slade had made him see. They did not go into detail about what he saw because Raven did not want Beast Boy to go through it again, but she did manage to make him feel safe again.

After his two weeks of being in the infirmary, Beast Boy could not wait to get out of there and have some fun with his friends. He entered the Common Room only to find that the lights were off. He switched the lights on and all of his teammates jumped out and surprised him.

Beast Boy yelled and put a hand over his heart. "God guys are you trying to give me a heart attack," he said panting. Beast Boy looked around the room to see streamers, balloons, and a variety of foods. "Uh guys, you know it's not my birthday today right."

"Yea man we know. We are just so glad that you're back, we decided to hold you a little welcoming back party," Cyborg said as he pulled a rope and the rolled up banner hanging from the ceiling rolled down and said "WELCOME BACK BEAST BOY."

Beast Boy could not believe his eyes. His friends had missed him so much that they threw a huge party just for him. This brought a huge grin to his face as he could not thank them enough. "Thanks guys, this means a lot," Beast Boy said not being able to think of anything else to say.

"And we have one more surprise for you," Robin said kindly. He gestured to the other door that led out of the common room and said, "Ok guys, you can come on out now." Once he said this, the doors swished open to reveal the Doom Patrol.

"Rita, Mento, Cliff, Negative Man, what are you guys doing here?" Beast Boy asked confused to see his old team here.

"One of your friends, Raven I believe was her name told us that you were alive and that they were throwing you a welcome back party. And we came over as soon as we could, and now here we are," Rita explained to him.

Beast Boy could not contain his joy as he walked over to the Doom Patrol and then gave Rita a warm hug. He then noticed that Raven was the only one not in the Common Room. "Speaking of which, where is Raven?" Beast Boy asked as he let go of Rita.

As if on cue the main Common Room doors opened to reveal the very same dark empath that Beast Boy wondered where she was. She walked down the stairs and approached Beast Boy. She stood only a foot away from him looking into his deep emerald eyes taking in everything they showed. She breathed in one more time and said, "Sorry I'm late I had to get something." She put down her hood and put her cloak behind her revealing the amethyst necklace Beast Boy had gotten her.

"I can see that," Beast Boy said as he extended his and put the jewel itself his palm. He then took his hand away from the jewel and looked at her once again. A moment of silence befell the room but it was quite comfortable.

"Hate to interrupt the love fest, but what do you we get this party started y'all!" Cyborg exclaimed. Everyone agreed and proceeded to the kitchen to start the party. Robot Man pat Beast Boy on the back as the Doom Patrol passed him to the kitchen. Raven and Beast Boy stayed where they were for a moment longer looking at each other one more time. "Welcome home, Beast Boy," Raven said as she smiled to him. Beast Boy returned the smile and they both went to the kitchen to join the festivities.

It had been a great party that everyone seemed to enjoy. Even Raven admitted she had fun. They first decided to play some upbeat dancing music so they could get as much of the party in them as possible. Eventually, they stopped so they could enjoy all the cooking everyone put into making the buffet. Cyborg did all the cooking, even cooked Beast Boy's tofu for him. After they had finished eating they danced a bit more, even did some slow dances. Cyborg managed to get Raven and Beast Boy to share a slow dance not that either complained, but of course got a few laughs in from the others. Soon enough they preceded to the living room area where for the rest of the time they merely talked, played videogames, and watched a movie or two. Of course, when Mento asked Beast Boy why Slade had kidnapped him, Beast Boy had no choice but to tell the truth. Thankfully they did it in private away from everyone else so he would not be hounded by questions. It was about 11:30 P.M. when the party finally died down. The Doom Patrol decided it was about time for them to leave. The Titans followed them to the roof where their ship was so they could see the Doom Patrol off.

"Beast Boy, may I have one more word with you?" Mento asked his former teammate. They walked to the other side of the roof away from everyone so they could talk in private once again. "Beast Boy if what you said is true, then do you think that Slade knows?"

Beast Boy looked at his former leader with defeated eyes. "It sure seems that way," he said his voice full of defeat.

"Then perhaps you should come with us. So Slade cannot get his hands on it," Mento suggested.

"No Mento, I can't do that to my friends again," Beast Boy said strongly.

"Very well then at least let me hold on to it for safe keeping. Where is it anyway?" Mento asked.

Beast Boy looked to where the others were. They were chatting and saying their goodbyes. More importantly he looked at Raven, and when he did a smiled played his lips. He turned back to Mento and said, "Don't worry its safe."

"Ok, but will be back in a few months to make sure nothing happens to it, and more importantly to you, alright," Mento stated.

"Alright Mento, that's fair enough," Beast Boy agreed to Mento's terms. They both walked back over to where the others were and Mento joined his team.

"Well it's been fun, but really must be going," Mento stated to the young heroes.

"Yeah, don't be strangers and come and visit us if you're nearby, alright," Beast Boy said to his old team.

"Sure think pipsqueak," Robot Man teased.

"Hey, I'm not short anymore," Beast Boy began to argue.

"You'll always be pipsqueak to me, squirt," Robot Man continued as he ruffled Beast Boy's hair. Beast Boy began to growl until Rita came to him.

She knelt down in front of him and hugged him and said, "We all missed you very much, and we're very proud of how you have grown," Rita complemented to him. Beast Boy blushed at the compliment Rita gave him. She pulled away and went back to the others.

"Well bye for now," Negative Man said as he waved his bandaged hand. They all went into the ship and it began to take off. Once it was gone all the Titans stood on the roof for a moment enjoying the serenity.

"Well y'all, it's late and Cyborg here is powering down," Cyborg yawned. "Night y'all." Robin and Starfire followed his example and followed him into the Tower holding hands. Raven and Beast Boy lingered on for a moment longer but soon enough went inside as well.

Once Raven and Beast Boy reached Beast Boy's room they looked at each other once more before turning in. "Well I guess this is where go our separate ways for now," Beast Boy said quietly. Raven remained quiet. "Well goodnight," he said as he opened his door and proceeded in. He was stopped however halfway in by a firm hand grip. He looked to his hand and recognized the pale skin and black skin tight clothing. "Raven, what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked curiously.

"Could you come with me to my room for a moment, I need to ask you something," Raven said quietly.

"Sure Rae," Beast Boy replied. They walked down the hall to Raven's room Raven still having a grip on Beast Boy's hand. She opened the door and they went inside. They walked over to Raven's queen size bed and sat down on it. "So what is it you wanted to ask me?"

"I wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind sleeping in here with me tonight?" Raven asked meekly.

Beast Boy did not expect that and asked, "Um, mind if I ask why?"

Raven remained silent for a moment before continuing. "I just got you back in my life, and I want to make sure that it's not a trick of the mind. I-I care about you too much Beast Boy."

Beast Boy was flabbergasted to say the least but managed to say, "Really?" Raven nodded and leaned forward closing the gap between them. Beast Boy took this as an initiative and did the same. Their lips met in a sweet but loving kiss that sent a spark through both their bodies. It was not long but it was still amazing. They soon pulled away and looked at each other lovingly. "Alright Rae, I'll stay with you tonight."

Raven gave him a gentle smile and kissed him once more. Once she broke the kiss they both stood up and Raven removed her cloak and Beast Boy removed his belt. Raven pulled back the covers and they both got underneath them and then pulled back over them. Raven snuggled closely to Beast Boy, laying her head on his shoulder and her hand on his chest. Beast Boy's arm was around Raven's small frame lying on her waist. Sleep soon took them over, but not before some final words was spoken.

"Thanks for the necklace, Beast Boy," Raven said sleepily.

"You're welcome, just make sure to keep it safe," Beast Boy said just as tired.

"Don't worry, I will," Raven said. "Oh and Beast Boy?"

"Yea Rae?" he replied

"Can we see the sunrise tomorrow?" she asked tiredly.

Beast Boy smiled and said, "Sure Rae that would be wonderful."

"And tell me a joke tomorrow to; I always thought you were funny," Raven said as sleep finally took her over.

Beast Boy looked at her sleeping form and smiled. "Sure Rae," he said as he closed his eyes. Tomorrow morning his final mission would finally be complete a real laugh from Raven that was caused because of him. With that last thought sleep got to him to and they both slept with good dreams waiting for them.
