Chapter 7
Beast boy woke up and stretched, still in his cat form. He licked a sleeping Ravens cheek and hopped down onto the floor, changing back and heading for the door.
“Beast Boy.” came a quiet voice from the corner. He turned to find Terra sitting on top of her sleeping bag.
“Yeah?” he asked, hand about to open the door.
“Can we talk?” She asked, eyes sad.
Beast boy sighed. He didn’t really want to talk to Terra but he walked over and sat in front of her anyways. “Something you want?”
Her eyes traveled to a sleeping Shadow. “How come that girl is here?”
Beast boy shook his head. “You’ll have to let Robin explain why but she’s Ravens sister.”
“Why can’t you tell me?” she asked him
“I don’t know if I’m allowed to or not so it’s best just to keep my mouth zipped.” he said.
Terra’s face fell. “Oh.” she was silent for a moment. “What happened to you? You’ve changed a lot.”
Beast boy scratched his head. “I haven’t changed that much.”
Terra shook her head. “You have. I noticed it in your eyes last night when you helped Raven up. She’s changed too. She smiled.”
Beast boy nodded. “She has changed a lot. Mostly for the better.” he grinned. “She’s funny as hell now, and extremely ticklish.” he muttered more to himself than to her.
Terra looked at him surprised. “How would you know that?”
Beast boy blushed. “Uh...” he was saved when a rustling sound came from the bed as Shadow sat up, hair messy.
“BB?” she asked quietly.
“Yeah?”
Shadow crawled out of the bed and into Beast boys lap. She curled up and looked at him, smiling. “Morning.”
He shook his head. “How come you act so young?” he asked.
“My sister explained to me that here, you don’t count when you were born as a year and on our first new year is another year old. So in your years I’m only 10, but where I’m from, I’m 13.” she explained.
“So Raven is only 13 in our years?” he asked surprised.
Shadow shook her head. “No, she is 16 in your ears and 18 in ours.”
Beast boy sat thoughtful. “Interesting.” he absentmindedly stroked Shadows hair.
Terra watched him. After a few moments she couldn’t resist asking. “Why are you doing that?” she asked, pointing to his hand.
Beast boy looked down. “Oh, it’s a habit. I’ve gotten used to this one being around all the time. It’s like she’s my little sis.”
Shadow grinned. “I could be you know.” she said suggestively.
Beast boy blushed and said nothing. Terra looked confused. “How?”
Shadow pointed to her sister. “If they got married, I would be his sister in law.” she grinned. “You know BB, I would really, really like that.”
Beast boy shook his head. “If your sister catches you saying that, she’d cut off your tongue. You know you can only go so far before she actually carries through with her threat.”
“She’s lucky I don’t do it know.” Said Raven, hovering over to the small group. She sat next to Beast boy and glared at her sister who just grinned.
“You know you would never hurt your only sister.” then she asked worriedly. “would you?”
Raven smiled slightly and grabbed her sister out of BB’s lap. She held her down and started tickling her.
“Nooooooo!” screamed Shadow. “Let me goooo!” she screamed her head off and Ravens door burst open. Robin and Starfire stood in the door way. They relaxed when they saw Raven tickling her sister and soon started laughing.
“What she do this time?” Robin asked.
Raven paused. “What do you mean ‘this time?’ ”
Beast boy shook his head once more. “After you left, she decided to open her big mouth and said some things in the company of the others. I won’t say what she said but I know you would want to kill for it as well.”
Raven thought on this and shook her head. “What am I going to do with you?!” she took her sister and pinned her to the ceiling with her magic.
She grinned. “Much better.”
“Sis get me down! You know this scares me!” Shadow said, bottom lip quivering.
Raven sighed and let her sister back down. “If you don’t behave, I’ll leave you up there.” she threatened.
Shadow nodded and hugged her sister. Raven shook her head and stood up. “Robin, your going to have to brief Terra and I think I might need another day to recover from using so much magic.”
Robin nodded. “Lets go out into the lounge.” he said, leading everyone out.
Cyborg, Jinx and her crew were already sitting on the couch. Bumble Bee and Aqua Lad were also there.
“Looks like everyone’s here so I can explain it all at once.” Robin said.
Raven walked over to the stove as Robin prepared his papers. She put the pot of water on and turned her back on it. Beast boy sat on the edge of the couch and everyone else found a spot to sit down.
Thankfully, the water warmed up fast enough and Raven got out the honey and tea bags. She quickly fixed three cups and carried them over to Shadow who sat once again in Beast boy’s lap.
“Thanks.” BB said as he and Shadow each took a cup.
Raven smiled and leaned against the back of the couch, Robin stood waiting in front of the TV.
“Alright guys. Here’s the problem. We have been notified that Slade is still alive. Though it unsure how considering he fell in a pit of lava. Also, he has freed Trigon, Raven and Shadow’s father, from his imprisonment. We have already encountered one of Slade’s plots to split the team.” he took a breath. “We have decided that the only way to truly to get rid of Slade is to join together.” he looked around the room. “Some of you might not know others. Were going to get everyone familiar with each other, even if it is just names. While you reside in the Tower, there is to be no physical fighting among anyone. Understood?”
He received a mummer of agreement and, satisfied, turned first to Bumble Bee and Aqua Lad. “Here we have Bumble Bee, she used to be undercover, watching Brother Blood for us. Aqua Lad helped defeat Trident.”
Robin then introduce Jinx’s crew. “Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo are from the Hive. Jinx has been working with us undercover like Bumble Bee used to do. Mammoth has his strength and Gizmo is a wiz with gadgets.”
“Then we have Shadow. Ravens younger sister and finally Terra who was a Titan before she became Slade’s apprentice but saved us before she turned to stone. Raven awakened her last night.”
He looked around. “I think that’s everyone.” me muttered more to himself than anyone. “You can do whatever now. Were still in the process of waiting for Slade to show himself now before we can act.”
Everyone started talking once more but Raven walked up to the front. “I only have a few things to say. If Trigon does show up, leave him to Shadow and I.” She started towards her room but Robin stopped her. “We need to address the Terra thing now. Were going to meet in my room, come on.” he whispered.
Raven followed Robin and the others towards his room. Raven leaned back against the wall and the others got comfortable on the floor or bed. Robin walked in with Terra in front of him.
“Alright guys. Were here to make a decision. I want everyone’s input on this one.” He looked at Terra. “Before you were turned to stone, you sided with Slade.” her face fell but he continued. “However, you did help ‘defeat’ Slade and save the city.” he turned to the others. “We have a few choices in this matter. Let her back into the Titans immediately , give her a chance to redeem herself with this upcoming battle, or have her leave. Cyborg?”
He sat, thinking. “I say we give her the chance with this battle.”
Robin nodded. “Star?”
“Let us give friend Terra another chance!” she said excitedly.
“Beast Boy?”
The room was dead quiet as everyone looked at him. They knew what had happened between them and wondered what he would do.
Beast boy didn’t meet anyone’s gaze, instead he looked at the floor. “I think... we should give her another chance too.
Robin nodded. “Raven?”
Raven shrugged. “I don’t care what you do, but let it be warned to you Terra.” she said, glaring at the girl. “I don’t take lightly to betrayal. If you want any trust from me, your going to have to earn it.” Raven’s voice had turned icy and she looked at no one but Terra.
She nodded. “I would expect nothing else from you Raven.”
Robin looked around. “Alright, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast boy, and I are going to fix up your room. We just need to finish the roof.”
Raven frowned. “What am I supposed to do?”
Beast boy was the one who answered. “You’ve done enough and you look like you really need to sleep.”
Raven shook her head. “I can’t sleep during the day.”
“Just rest then. You’re the one who used up all your energy last night.” Robin said, heading for the door.
“Fine.” she followed them to Terra’s room and sat in the corner, watching them fix the roof. She helped out a bit but was caught by Beast boy.
“Raven! We said no!” she dropped the board that she was levitating with her powers.
“I can’t sit back and not help.” she pouted.
Beast boy sighed and shook his head. “Don’t give me that look.”
Raven gave him puppy dog eyes that melted his insides. “N...no!” he said, looking away.
Terra watched this with some interest. Raven sat back down in the corner, pouting slightly. “You owe me BB.” she muttered.
Beast boy grinned. “Alright. I’ll make it up to you, I promise.” he went back to lifting the boards up to Star and Robin.
Raven smiled back and stood up, leaning against the wall.
Terra sighed. “If you guys want, I can go fix lunch.” she suggested.
“Sure.” called Robin. “Raven you want to help her? There are quiet a few people.”
“Sure, at least I can do something.” she muttered, following Terra into the kitchen.
“What do you want to make?” Terra asked.
“I don’t care. I’ll make some tea.” she said, setting the pot of water on the stove.
“I’ve noticed BB drinks that stuff now.” Terra said, getting out some peanut butter and jelly.
“Yeah, after I switched his soda with this stuff.” Raven smirked. “He was surprised at first but admitted after that he liked it.” She smiled softly at the thought.
Terra noticed this and frowned. “You were so cold earlier now your smiling like your in...” she trailed off.
Shadow popped up. “Hey sissy!” she said, hugging Raven who patted her on the head.
“Staying out of trouble?” she asked.
Shadow nodded. “I was playing games with Jinx. She’s really nice!” she snickered. “I beat her and Gizmo.”
Raven rolled her eyes. “Your becoming Beast boy.”
Shadow grinned. “Good! I like Beast boy, he’s really nice.” she grew a mischievous grin. “Why don’t you Mhmf!”
Raven clasped a hand over her mouth once more. “You Don’t want to finish that sentence unless you want to stay on the ceiling the rest of the day.” Raven said, taking her hand off her sisters mouth and pouring the tea into three cups and adding honey. She handed one to her sister as the huge group walked into the lounge.
“Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I haven’t had one of those in a long time.” Cyborg said, sniffing at the full plate. He took one and took a bite. “Yum! Just the right amount of peanut butter and jelly
Terra smiled. “Thanks.” She watched everyone except Beast boy, Raven and Shadow take one. “You want one?” she asked Shadow and BB.
“No thanks. I haven’t been that hungry lately.” Beast boy said.
Shadow grinned and was going to say something but a glare from her sister shut her up quick. “Hehe, BB, can you play a game with me?” she asked, giving him puppy dog eyes.
Beast boy grinned. He opened his mouth to answer here when the alarm went off.
Robin dashed over to his computer and his eyes widened. “It’s Slade, I think he want’s our attention now!” Robin looked at the huge group. “I think it’s best to let just the regular Titans go. We don’t want to give away that we are getting ready for him. Terra, Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo, stay here.”
“You too Shadow.” Raven said, putting down her cup.
“NO! I want to help!” She pouted.
Raven shook her head as the others ran out. “You heard Robin. Stay here!” she took off after the others.

The Titans came upon the wreckage downtown. Buildings had been destroyed and cars flipped over. Slade’s robots saw the Titans and faltered. Although surprised, the Titans didn’t relax their guard.
“Nothings changed has it?” came his voice as he appeared before him. “Robin.” he said, acknowledging his presence.
“Slade.” Robin growled.
“My, my. Such a temper.” Slade’s eye’s traveled to Raven. “Have you seen daddy lately little girl? He should be showing up soon.”
She rose a few feet off the ground and hovered over in front of Robin. “I already know about that. Though I have a proposition for you.” she said.
“Oh? I’m listening.” Slade said, leaning on a bent light pole.
“Give us one week. No sending out your drones or attacking the city.” her eyes narrowed. “That includes my father.”
“Why would I do that?” He asked in a bored voice.
“One week from now, we will fight you.”
Slade looked rubbed his chin. “What are the conditions Dark Princess?”
“We fight away from the city.” she said, growling.
“That’s it? No excluding outside help?” he asked.
Raven was silent for a moment. “You may have outside help, though if you have Trigon on your side, it shouldn’t be too hard. It took three people to subdue him last time. There is no limit on outside help. Though with your drones...” she paused. “There can be a maximum of 50.”
Robin made a noise like he was to interrupt but Raven used her powers to quiet him. “Are we in agreement?” she asked, not taking her eyes off of Slade.
He was quiet then walked forward and held out his hand. Raven looked at it warily before taking it.
“Do you wish to destroy 10 of those robots now?” he asked, disappearing. The robots that had been still came back to life and charged at the young heros.
“Titans, go!” Robin yelled, charging at the nearest one, his retractable bo staff in front of him. He bashed in the robotic head and took off for the next one with his birdarang sword out.
Starfire started shooting her green beams at two of the robots below her as Beast boy and Cyborg took out a few more with Beast boy as a T-rex and Cyborg with his sonic cannon.
Raven remained low to the ground, her powers still weak. She encased three of the robots heading for her in her dark powers and took them apart.
She looked at the others who were having no trouble and relaxed slightly.
“Big mistake.” came a cold voice from behind her. Slade wrapped his hand around the girls throat so she couldn’t breath. He squeezed harder, all but crushing her windpipe.
‘Someone, help me.’ She thought, desperately trying to claw away at his hand. With the lack of oxygen to her brain, it started to shut down and she started slipping into darkness. ‘My old friend.’ she thought, eyes almost closed.
“Azarath Metrion Zinthos!” Was the last thing she heard before she blacked out.
Beast boy woke up and stretched, still in his cat form. He licked a sleeping Ravens cheek and hopped down onto the floor, changing back and heading for the door.
“Beast Boy.” came a quiet voice from the corner. He turned to find Terra sitting on top of her sleeping bag.
