Somewhere...
Beast Boy and Raven lay in each other's arms, simply existing. They were each lost in their own thoughts. Beast Boy glanced at his love. "Penny for your thoughts?"
She chuckled. When he raised his eyebrow, she conjured an image of the penny he gave her once, and he laughed, too.
She looked at him. "Did you mean what you said to Robin? About what you'd do if he tried to hurt me?"
"Every word," he responded without hesitation.
Raven shuddered in pleasure. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow. She blushed. "Beast Boy...I'm a bit more demonic now than I used to be. Hearing that you would do such brutal violence for my sake was...exciting." She glanced at him, worried that this might upset him or freak him out.
He raised an eyebrow. "So that's why you started purring, among other things?"
She nodded. "That doesn't bother you?"
"Raven...wild animals determine mating the same way. The males fight, and the strongest and most brutal male gets the female...or females, as the case may be. To at least half of my being, what you just said sounds completely natural."
Raven smiled. Then she frowned. "And the other half?"
"Is just to happy to learn that anything about me is a turn on for you to care what it is," he said with a huge grin, quirking his eyebrow up and down suggestively.
Raven couldn't help but laugh. "Beast Boy, you're incorrigible!"
"You wouldn't want me any other way, would you?"
She thought for a time. "No, I guess I wouldn't."
They lay there for a time. "So, Raven...what do we do now?"
"Hmm?"
Beast Boy picked up the communicator. They had deactivated the GPS. "Do we go back, go our own way...where do we go with our lives now?"
"Why are you asking me?" Raven asked. "You get a say in this, too."
"I decided when I tossed this in Robin's face...wherever you go in life, I'll be right by your side, no matter where it takes me. ...to hell and back again, even."
She blushed. "Beast Boy...you know what that's implying...right?"
He smiled at her. "Call me Garfield," he said simply.
At Titan Tower, things were a bit more frosty. Cyborg had tried to be understanding about what Robin had done, but it would take a while for him to get past it. He had forgiven Robin, but he said it would be a long time before he forgot.
Starfire was another matter. Robin sought her out, to try and talk things through. He found her on the roof, cuddling Silkie. "Starfire..." he began.
"You sought to kill Raven this evening, yes?" she asked simply.
Robin sat where he was. "I did. It was a terrible mistake."
"You did not give her a chance...not until Beast Boy showed you what you were doing did you realize how wrong you were. ...Raven is a very close friend of mine, as humans say, 'as close as a Sister.' Closer, in my case. And you sought her distruction, on very little evidence...I do not know if I will ever be able to see you the same way after this."
Robin nodded. "I'm sorry, Star. I'm sorry I proved unworthy of your trust." He got up to go.
"I can understand and forgive your creation of those weapons," she called after him, "and eventually...I shall be able to forgive what happened tonight."
He turned back, feeling hope again. "You'll...let me know?"
She shook her head. "It will be hard for me to know when to forgive...so know that when Raven forgives you for trying to kill her, then so shall I." Standing up, she walked back to her room.
Robin leaned against the roof access, sighing. He hoped things would work out...for everyone's sake.
