DISCLAIMER: I don't own Teen Titans because there is too much stuff to do.

CHAPTER 4

SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT

Now there were only five. All of the Titans have already left the tower and now the main five were in the main room relaxing and doing the usual.

"Wasn't that party cool or what?" Exclaimed Cyborg as he was sorting through his variety of video games.

"I could say the party was off the hoof."

Everyone glanced at the alien, wary of how to react.

"Um Star," Beast Boy said with an awkward laugh, "I think you meant off the hook."

"Oh." Starfire embarrassed went back to petting Silkie on the couch, Robin then putting a hand on her shoulder in comfort. She smiled at him for the small gesture. The two were dating since being back from Tokyo, some things were just too complicated to say the least.

"Yeah Cyborg. Good job on the music and food preparations," Robin complimented. "Star and Raven the party decorations were great. And Beast Boy..."

The green teenage boy delighted listened intently to the compliment he was about to receive until the alarm went off.

"Aw c'mon!" Beast Boy said. "I thought today was a break!"

"Man, it looks like crime decided to meet us today." Cyborg leaving his assorment of games, went to where the leader was standing.

"Who we fightin?"

The boy wonder searching the screen replied, "Seems to be Control freak and his henchmen of living PAC-man ghosts."

"Creative," remarked Raven sarcastically.

Beast Boy gave her a side glance and shook his head. Raven seen him do that and raised her eyebrow, she was wondering why he did such thing and before she could even question him Robin made his familiar cry,

"Titans Go!"

When the team arrived the childish yet hefty man and his 'creative' minions hadn't done much damage to the city. Only injuring a few civilians that were in time going to be treated. Inspite of that no one was dead.

Now that the team was back home, Control Freak in jail, and his remote device taken and minions melted and diminished. Everything you could say was back to normal.

"Good Job team," congratulated Robin entering the ops room. "Now that's done and over with, you may all relax."

The team sighed in relief. Today was supposed to be their 'relax day' considering they threw a party yesterday but somehow crime decided to go ahead with them today.

Thereupon Cyborg decided to cook them all a comforting meal; meatloaf with a variety of peppers, mash potatoes, and cabbage. The team couldn't help but drool in delight, well except Beast Boy whom cringed at the loaf of meat.

"Guys," he said, scratching the back of his head. "I'll just head to my room."

Everyone didn't seem to mind, however Raven still wanted to know why the Changeling shook his head after staring at her for considerable amounts of time before they had left for the mission, but decided to ask him later devouring in the mighty meal unenthusiastically that Cyborg had made.

Beast Boy entered his bedroom tired, exhausted, and a bit unappreciated. He hopped on the top bunk of his bed and stared at the ceiling for moments until he heard rattling coming from his closet.

Suspicious, the green seventeen year old boy got down from his bed and got a sense of who could be in his closet.

Kole.

He then opened his closet door revealing a frazzled tan girl. She was looking around the closet as if she was trying to spot something.

Beast Boy somewhat confused said, "Um Kole are you okay?"

The pink haired girl looked up him and smiled bubbly.

"I'm fine," she said with ease. "I think a spider was on me, though."

"Do you want me to kill it?" Gar asked, looking inside the closet.

"No, I think it's gone."

Kole therefore stood up and sat down on the bottom bunk.

"So, here I am," she said, putting the pillow up and laying against it. "What we've discussed earlier with Thunder and Lighting, I think they're right about the revenge, it's not right."

Beast Boy sat down on the floor with his legs and feet out.

"Kole that's not the reason were doing it, and it'll work out fine, okay. Now we've already discussed everything before, was that why you left Gnnark all by himself just to see me?"

Kole blushed.

"He's fine, I think he's gotten used to independence. He's grown a little since you've last seen him," and with a giggle she added, "I think some times I drive him insane. But that's only cause he loves me so."

The two friends laughed out loud, unaware a sorceress was standing outside of the door about to knock, however the feminine laugh mingled with Beast Boy's caused her to think twice.

Is Beast Boy doing what I think he's doing? She couldn't help but question herself. She then decided that she was going to do what she was going to do in the first place, all in all she folded her pale hand against the door, and knocked on it lightly.

In a minute the door was slid open revealing a frazzled Beast Boy. Raven raised an eyebrow.

"Beast Boy," she said monotonously,"why is your hair askew?"

The green boy looked as if he didn't know what she was talking about at first but then realized she was talking about his hair.

"Oh, nothing," —smoothing his hair out— "what do you need Rae?"

Sighing in annoyance at the misuse of her name, the Mage then replied,

"Earlier today, before we went to fight Control Freak. You gave me a wry face expression and shook your head. I would like to know why you did that."

Beast Boy flushed.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, Beast Boy. Your look of disdain towards me has me questioning your emotions. Are you alright?"

The changeling chuckled.

"I'm fine, Rae. Thanks for checking up on me."

"I wasn't checking up on you."

He nodded slowly, the Mage then gave him a stoic look knowing plain well she wasn't going to get an answer; too bad she couldn't sense his emotions. However before she turned to leave, Beast Boy asked her question that had been on his mind since yesterday.

"Um Rae are y-"

"It's Rae-ven. Two syllables."

"Oh okay," he said nervously shifting side to side, he was happy no one else was out here in the hallway or he knew he was putting himself out for execution for asking such a question.

"Okay, um Raven are you and Jericho, you know, dating?"

She raised an eyebrow at him, deciding whether or not she should answer. Thoroughly deciding this in her mind she nevertheless she didn't answer just yet.

"Beast Boy, why are you asking me. It's none of your business."

"Come on Rae...ven, why can't you tell your bestfriend?"

"Reason is your not my 'best' friend, Beast Boy. And I don't like how you're asking me such a crude question."

Beast Boy felt a bit frustrated.

"I just wanna know."

"Why?"

"Can you tell me please? I mean c'mon, can a guy just ask a question?"

"It's may, and no I will not tolerate you asking me that Beast Boy. Bye."

Saying an adieu she was already down the hall but he just wasn't satisfied. Thus he ran down the hall and grabbed on her cloak, stopping her tracks. She turned around facing him.

"Why can't you just tell me?"

She gave him a deathly glare.

"Don't touch me."

With her powers she threw him against the wall like she had done earlier today.

"And why do you want to know?" She held up her hand before he answered. "Fine, Beast Boy if you want to know so badly. Yes, we are dating."

She then turned back around, leaving the shape-shifter feeling more and more heartbroken.

"I wanted to know. 'Cause I thought for once it wouldn't be true."
