Chapter 10: Converging
"Has anyone seen Beast Boy?"
"No friend Terra, I have not," Starfire replied with a smile.
"I think he's on the roof, but he could be in his room," said Robin.
"I already checked his room, so I guess he'll be on the roof. Thanks," Terra said, forcing a smile and then quickly leaving the room.
"Oh my," Raven said, pulling away from the changeling. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have."
"Raven-"
"No, this is wrong. You're dating Terra and I'm with Aqualad-"
"Wait, what? You're dating Aqualad?"
"Yes, I am. I can't believe I just-"
"You're dating Aqualad? For how long?" he asked, crossing his arms.
"That doesn't matter! What matters is that we were both unfaithful!"
"Raven, you're overreacting," he said, reaching his hand out to comfort her.
"Don't touch me," she said, slapping his arm away. "I need to apologise to him."
"You're going to tell him?" he asked, staring at her dumbfounded.
"I'm not going to lie. I can't believe you're okay with this."
"I'm not okay with it. I think you're just overreacting a bit."
"I have every reason to act this way. Just find Terra and apologise," she muttered before leaving him alone on the roof.
"Beast Boy, calm down! What are you apologising for?"
"I cheated," he muttered shamefully, keeping his gaze to the floor.
"Cheated?" Terra asked, confused.
"I kissed Raven."
"You did what? Tell me this is one of your dumb pranks!"
"It's not."
"I can't believe you! You refuse to kiss me but as soon as that witch has five minutes alone with you, you're all over her!" she screamed.
"I'm sorry! We were just caught up in the moment!"
"Did she kiss back?" she asked, scowling at him before crossing her arms.
"I don't think-"
"Did she kiss back?" she repeated, her tone colder than before.
"Yes, she did," he replied, scraping the top of his show against the floor. "It was a mistake. I'm sorry."
"I don't know what to say to you, Garfield. I really don't."
"I'm so sorry, Terra."
"Prove it."
"What?"
"That kiss I've been asking for? Give it to me."
"I'm not really in the mood for-"
"See! You kiss her but won't kiss me!"
"Are you seriously letting your hormones get in the way of this? This is serious!"
"Do you want my forgiveness?" she asked.
"Of course I do!"
"Then kiss me, you jerk!" she cried.
He stood still for a few moments before saying, "You know what? I'm not sorry."
"Excuse me?" she barked.
"Yeah, I kissed Raven, and I have absolutely no regrets," he said before smiling and saluting to her. "Adiós, bitch."
"What are you-"
He was out of the room before she could finish.
"You kissed Garfield?"
"Yes, I did. I'm so sorry, Garth, I truly am," Raven said into her communicator.
"You've been there for less than a day and you've already kissed him?"
Raven held her head down in shame before nodding.
"Did you kiss him first?" Aqualad asked, his expression unreadable.
"No, he kissed me, but I kissed back," she replied, watching as he winced after she spoke.
"I'm coming over there."
"What?"
"I'm going to give that little goblin a piece of my mind."
"No, no! You have a city to protect. It's not his fault, I kissed him too, remember?"
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Aqualad-" she was cut off as the communication broke off. "Fuck!"
"Robin, why are various things in our home exploding?" Starfire asked, turning to the masked leader.
"Must be Raven's powers. Where is she?"
"She is most likely in her room, yes? But maybe we should not bother her yet. She might be doing the cooling down."
Knock knock
"Raven? It's me, you in there?"
"What do you want, Beast Boy?" Raven called from the other side of her door.
"I just wanted to know how things went with Aqualad. Can you let me in?"
The empath made her way over to her door and it opened with a hiss. "Things went fine with Aqualad, thank you."
"You sure?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yes, why?" she asked back.
"I mean, he didn't scream at you? Or ask you to kiss him?"
"Why would he do that?" she asked, frowning.
"Oh, uh, no reason. I kinda broke up with Terra."
"Oh no," she said, taking a step back. "I broke up a relationship?"
"No! It's not your fault! I was sick of her, anyway," he replied with a reassuring smile.
"But, why? It's no secret that you love her."
"I did love her, but I was never in love with her, you know? But whatever I felt for her vanished when I found out that she was working for Slade," he replied.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that," she said before her eyes went wide. "Working for Slade?"
"Shit! No! I didn't mean to-"
"How long?" she asked with a blunt tone. "How long has she been working with him?"
"Uh, since she's been a Titan. But she's not anymore, I swear!" he said defensively.
"I see," she said, pulling him into her room. "Tell me everything."
"Are you going to tell Robin?"
"Depends. Just please, tell me everything you know," she said, sitting down on her bed and gesturing for him to sit beside her.
"Okay."
OKAY I'VE NOTICED THAT I'VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES. LIKE HOW STARFIRE MENTIONED MALCHIOR EVEN THOUGH HE WAS INTRODUCED IN SEASON 3 AND NOT SEASON 2, WHICH IS WHEN THIS FANFIC IS SET. COULD WE PLEASE JUST IMAGINE, FOR MY SAKE, THAT ALL THE STUFF MENTIONED FROM THE SHOW IN THIS FANFIC HAS HAPPENED ALREADY? THANK YOU.
