Beast Boy
I stopped at the park on my way home and sat on the swings, waiting.
I knew Beast Boy would follow me. He wanted to know the truth. I could give that to him, Terra did tell me she loved. He was almost all she talked about when I 'visited'. I didn't mind, oh no far from it, when she would talk about him she would get this spark in her eyes that I hadn't seen in years. He made her happy.
I remember the first time she told me about him, I remember my heart swelling with joy. My best friend had someone to make her happy.
I heard soft footsteps and looked out of the corner of my eye to see Beast Boy just a couple feet away.
"Hi."
"Hey," I indicated the swing next to mine, "take a seat." He sat down next to me and for a while we sat in silence, I'm guessing he didn't know how to ask me.
I gave a small sigh. "I know what you want to ask and the answer is yes."
"What?"
I turned to look at him to see a confused face. Rolling my eyes I sighed again. "Yes, she loved you."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
And we looped back into silence. I wanted to go home and tell Emil about all of this, but I knew Beast Boy had more to ask so I let him gather his thoughts. Finally he asked. "What did you mean you 'didn't see her again but you didn't stop talking'?"
Not wanting to give my full power away I said, "You could say, I have my own way of communication." He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Hey, that's all you're getting out of me about my powers for today."
He nodded. "Fair enough, I guess. So she talked about me?"
I threw my head back in fake exasperation, "Oh my gosh, she would not shut up about you!" I gave a small laugh as I brought my head back up.
He chuckled some. "Good things?"
"Good things," I nodded.
He stood and struck a, what I'm assuming was, a masculine pose. "Like how handsome and hilarious I am."
I shot him an amused look. "About how cute and funny you are." He seemed to deflate and sat back down. "Hey still a compliment."
I nodded, and then stood with a yawn. "Well I'm going home to get some sleep, good night Beast Boy."
"Good night, Nightmare."
I stopped a few yards away and turned back to see him staring at the stars, looking in thought. I shook my head and started heading home again, hopping that I lifted some of the weight off his shoulders.
The Necklace
I let out a strangled whimper; it would be so easy to just take it, especially at this time of night.
My thumb on my right hand started to rub agents my other fingers and palm, itching to go across the street and take the beautiful necklace from the jewelry shop.
The necklace had a silver chain with a sliver egg on the end, roughly the size of a dog tag, with a crack around the middle so you could open the egg and inside was a ruby. It was lovely and coasted a fortune, for the ruby was real (picture up top just encase I didn't explain that well enough). I wanted it and because the ruby was real I couldn't buy it so a part of me was up to steal it.
"No", I mumbled, "I will not steal it."
"Why not?" Emil asked from a light pole beside me, it was reflective enough for him to show in it. "You've stole before."
"Because I need the Titans to trust me and steeling labels me as the bad guy."
"Why do need them to trust you?" He asked with a hint of frustration. That was a good question and again I didn't know. Maybe it's because they were friends with Terra, maybe because I'm tired of running, going from job to job, never the bad guy but never the good guy, or maybe because they were there for Terra when I couldn't of been. I didn't know, all I knew was I needed them to trust me.
"Come on let's just keep walking." I said as I turned. That's what we were doing when I'd seen the necklace. Once I had gotten back from my talk with Beast Boy, Emil had been waiting because he wanted to go out and see the city. Night was a good time for it, cause let's face it how many people aren't going to freak when the see a dispatched head staring back at them in a reflective surface.
So I put my hair in its braid, put on my skinny jeans, beat up converses, and a T-shirt that said "Do not disturber, I'm disturbed enough." and garbed my dark blue purse that went on my left shoulder, across my torso and bounce on my right hip. It had multiple little mirrors on the front for Emil to see through.
We had just made it across the street when we heard the alarm. Turning I saw it was the jewelry store. Oh please don't take the necklace. I know it was childish but if I couldn't have the necklace I didn't want anyone else to have it either, especially someone who will just turn it into a profit.
I ran back down the block and dunked into an ally that was near where I was standing earlier. I peeked my head out and watched as the titans showed up.
"So they are your mighty heroes?" I heard Emil mutter from my purse.
I hissed, "Not my heroes. I don't need to be saved." When I didn't get a reply I took that as a confirmation. I knew there was a skyline on the roof of the shop and I wanted a better look, so herring around to the back I jumped on the dumpster and flipped to the roof. I laid flat on my stomach, removed one of the glass panels and peeked over.
There was a guy with one eye, a huge hairy dude, Three guys all in the same red spandex and when one of them multiplied, I figured out they were copy's, a little kid around 7 or 8 with a metal backpack and a girl with pink hair. The Hive Five.
I put my chin in my hands and started to swing my legs, like a little girl on the floor in front of the T.V, as I watched the fight. But I wasn't watching just the fight, you can see things better when you have a bird's eye view and that's why I was the only one who noticed the man in the shadows, the one stealing things while everyone was too busy to stop him, I have to admit it was pretty smart.
I was all for just letting Red-X go, till I saw him grab my necklace. I growled low in my throat and saw him look up at me; we started at each other for a little bit. Me glaring and him unreadable do to that mask.
The stare was broken when Red was hit in the back of the head by Robin's staff-thing. While we had are staring contest the Titans had defeated the Hive.
I giggled, it was entertaining. Robin looked up to see what Red-X was looking at and when he saw me his masked widened. I smiled and waved then jumped through the window and landed next to Beast Boy who promptly freaked out.
"Oh don't be so jumpy." Emil told him. It only caused the green boy to freak out more. "Emil be nice." I said while glaring down at my purse. I looked back to the Titans to see everyone giving me weird stares including the tied up Hive and Red-x.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, digging through my purse, I got out my hand held mirror, Emil's original mirror. I saw him appear then turned it to face the others. "This is my friend, Emil."
I could actually feel Emil smirking at their obvious disconcert. "Hi!" At this point Beast Boy had fainted.
Starfire got closer to the mirror, looking a little scared. "Friend Nightmare, why do you have this boy stuck in your looking glass?"
I shrugged, "It's his own fault, messing with a powerful witch. He's just lucky I was the one to find the mirror."
"We'll get to that story later", Robin intersected looking at me suspiciously, "first what are you doing here?"
"Another good question we'll have to get to later." I told him and when he raised an eyebrow, growing more suspicious, I pointed to the pile of rope where Red-X was supposed to be. "Where did Red go?"
