Girl-U-Want by King Cheetah
Part Four - Lovers and Friends
None of these characters are mine, but it'll take more than that to slow me down...
Rated PG-13, Beast Boy/Jinx pairing, and knowing me, they'll be LOTS of naughty goings on. Robin/Raven action down the road.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----
Raven looked on crestfallen as the first few tears made their southerly migration down Starfire's cheeks. They were slow in coming at first, but made up for their tardiness with strength in numbers. Despite this, Starfire remained dignified and held her head high as he spoke, "I-I believe that at this point it would be appropriate to call you both assholes."
Raven looked over to Robin, who looked at the floor, as the evening winds howled outside the Titan's Tower.
Two weeks since the disappearance of Beast Boy.
On the first day that they noticed that he was missing, it was assumed that he was merely blowing off steam and would return in short order. On the seventh day, there was speculation that he'd gone down to Atlantis to crash with Aqualad for a while until he sorted himself out, but a quick call on the Titan signal ruled this out. On the tenth day Raven speculated that perhaps Beast Boy needed time out in the wild and was hanging out with Wildebeast, but again, such was not the case. On the thirteenth day, they were becoming convinced that something was really not right with the whole situation, and Starfire and Cyborg now found themselves on the receiving end of Robin's hectoring questions.
Then, on the fourteenth day, Cyborg showed them a series of intercepted H.I.V.E. communiquŽs detailing Beast Boy's killing of Jinx during a botched kidnapping attempt. Robin and Raven were beside themselves almost to the point of panic. Was this it? Jinx's treachery towards their team mate revealed, he inadvertently killed her and now was on the run, a fugitive. Both Starfire and Cyborg urged caution, as this was afterall the H.I.V.E., and for all they knew these reports were mistaken. But Robin and Raven both were furious and lashed out in all directions, making the next few hours confused and at times surreal. Finally, Robin and Raven called Starfire into a side room and made a confession to her.
"I... I'm sorry Star." said Robin quietly, "We didn't mean for this to happen, it just sorta did. I never wanted to hurt you, honestly."
But her tears and soft sobbing were making her voice sound choked, "T-that is not why I am upset." she said, "...assholes." she added, almost as an after thought. "I have been aware of your feelings for each other for months now, possible even before you yourselves were aware of them. I was not only aware of your feelings but also overjoyed. I had never seen either of my friends so happy before. But..." she paused to wipe her eyes, "But now I see that this is why you were persecuting Beast Boy so. Did you think that you could assuage your guilt and shame for your own deceptions by pillorying our friend? You searched everywhere for proof that Jinx was a threat and found none, but still you persisted! Why?! Please explain to me what you felt the you would find at the end of all this."
Neither of her friends had either and answer for her or the courage to look her in the eye.
Trembling now, Starfire could only rub her arms nervously as she said, "You are both horrible and not at all the people that I called my friends. Beast Boy and Jinx ran away because you gave them no choice. I... I..." but without finishing her thought, she fled the room. And that was the last any of them had seen of her since.
Looking over at the clock, Raven could just make out the time on the faded digital display. Almost 3:00 AM. Gingerly, she slipped from the bed and tiptoed to the bathroom and quietly closed the door so as not to wake Robin. The dim light on, she saw a bathroom that was clean, but had obviously seen better days. The tub and toilet looked to be from the Edwardian period, while the new sink was a completely different color and style, as a matching replacement would have evidently required a time machine. She looked at herself in the aged mirror, it's silver backing still intact enough to reveal all her flaws to her.
It started a year ago. As she reached her eighteenth year, she was at an all time high in her personal growth, and could almost taste her purification in the works. Finally, all the hard work and sacrifice would pay off in total control of her body and spirit. But as calm waters settle, you can see deeper into them. Various feelings and urges, so long suppressed or ignored, begged her attention and care. As through new eyes she saw the world afresh, she likewise was seen anew, especially by a certain dark mysterious Titan. Who had actually initiated the relationship was difficult to say at this point, but once going, it was a runaway train. From flirting and knowing looks to secret rendezvous and manic love making, they grew together at a pace that in hindsight seemed reckless and ill advised.
Starfire had been right though, they had no good reason to distrust Beast Boy or question his feelings for Jinx. She cursed herself for not seeing these thing more clearly at the time.
Looking up, she saw him enter the bathroom and move behind her, wrapping his arms around her he whispered, "What we have to give up for love is different than what we're willing to give up for love." Placing her hands over his, she desperately tried to be thankful for all the things she still had.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------
Bathed in the morning sunshine that flooded her kitchen, Jinx laughed and danced about like a damaged lab rat. She could not for the life of her understand why it was that her adorable husband worried so. Couldn't he SEE just how happy she was? Couldn't he tell just how good their life was? Spending most of her teenage years in the stifling environment of the H.I.V.E. had dampened her spirits, but never succeeded in crushing them, and so her new life as Mrs. Jenny Logan was to her mind a fairy princess story brought kicking and screaming to life. Even her job as a dancer had a thrilling fantasy quality to it. Sure, it wasn't a career option, but it was fun in the short term and it was certainly paying the bills. She just wished that the afore mentioned adorable husband would get his cute green butt out of the shower so that she could try out a few new dance moves on him.
Gar needed to relax and take life with a little less stress. She was sure that once he got his GED, he'd have a slightly easier time of it in the job market. Not like she wasn't in the same boat, having only a graduating certificate from the H.I.V.E. Academy for Exceptional Young People, which was not taken very seriously by potential employers. Once Gar was tucked snugly into the labor statistics, she thought that she might just look at college and a professional career, and she began to chant, "States Attorney General Jennifer Logan" several times to see how she liked the sound of it. Upon careful reflection she decided that she liked it just fine, thank you very much. Just as she was mentally preparing a report for the Governor about her plan to combat the H.I.V.E., the phone rang.
"Hello, Logan residence." she said musically, then nearly dropped the phone upon realizing just who it was on the other end.
"Oh jeez, why are you calling me here?!" she said, craning her head to see if she could still hear the shower running.
"No... no, not yet... He doesn't suspect a thing... uh-huh... uh-huh... uh-huh. I think so... no... no... no-well, maybe. Alright, just stick to the plan. I'll e-mail you later. Uh-huh. Okay, bye." and she hung the phone up, just as a dry but very nude Beast Boy wandered into the kitchen as he toweled off his hair. Towel on his shoulders, he took her in his arms and kissed her.
"Nice look. You reconsidering a little work at Kasserine's?" she grinned.
"Yeah, see if Curtis will go for that 'Heavy Petting Zoo' thing." he smiled, just as a knock sounded at the front door.
"Dammit." he sighed, "Please don't let that be Tawny. It's WAY to early to deal with her." he said reaching for a pair of sweat pants on the arm of the couch.
Tossing his a T-shirt she smiled, "Now don't be that way. You know how badly she needs someone to look after her."
Opening the door, Jinx was in mid greeting when the words all caught in her throat at once. There in the hall stood Robin and Raven, though it took her a minute to recognize them out of costumes. Her mind raced for answers as to what to say or do, but all she could manage was to mumble, "oh shit" in a hoarse whisper. Spinning around, she saw Beast Boy sitting in the center of the sofa, feet up on the coffee table and arms over the back. His face a complete blank, he looked at her and said softly, "Honey, please invite our guests in for coffee."
Now she desperately wished it had been Tawny.
