Chapter 1
BB stood in front of his mirror as he dressed. He pulled on a pair of black jeans and grabbed his shirt off of his king size bed that he had switched with his bunk bed when his feet began hanging off the end. He examined himself in the mirror and smirked slightly. At the age of 23, he was 6'7 and still growing. His toned muscles from working out and fighting crime had expanded slightly and he no longer looked like a skinny green shrimp.
‘If she saw me now...’ He shook his head and cleared the thought from his mind. It had been seven years since Raven had left and he was starting to believe that she was never coming back.
He resumed putting on his black shirt and spiked collar along with his wrist bands when a knock came at his door.
“Come in.”
Terra sauntered in and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Coming Garfield?” she purred.
He sighed and pulled away. “For the last time, it’s not a date. Were all going to the movies together.”
Terra pouted slightly. “But Star is going with Robin and Cyborg is going with Jinx. How come you won’t go with me?”
He looked away, pained slightly. ‘Why don’t I? It’s not like Ravens coming back any time soon.’
As if picking up on his thoughts, Terra added. “She’s not coming back and you know it. You just won’t admit it.”
“No.” he replied angrily. “She is!”
Terra opened her mouth to respond when Robin’s voice called from the lounge. “Are you guys ready yet?!”
BB grabbed his wallet and headed out with Terra following close behind him.
‘I won’t forget you Raven. Never’ he thought as they left.

Raven fidgeted slightly in the white dress that she wore for her sisters inauguration as Queen of Azarath. The ceremony was taking so long and she didn’t think she would be able to wait.
Her sister had noticed and laughed silently. “Don’t worry, you waited seven years for this, I think you can wait a few more minuets.” Shadow’s voice echoed in her head.
Raven shot her a glare and then looked down at the small girl the age of seven and a half. Her dark green hair stood out against the white dress she was wearing and her emerald eyes were on her Aunt.
‘Oh BB, what will you think when you find out?’ Raven thought nervously. She couldn’t bring herself to tell him when she had left so she said nothing. Shadow still thought that it was wrong for Beast Boy not to know about his own child and lose all the chances of seeing her grow up.
‘Well it’s not like I could get away anyways. They watch you ever moment of every day here!’ Raven chided herself. ‘ I wish I had never come back here. I wish they hadn’t made me rule!’
“And now, as the former Queen passes her crown off to the new Queen.” said the droning voice that belonged to the Head of the government officials.
Raven’s smile grew as she took the crown from her head and placed it on Shadow’s. “Almost done.” she whispered.
Raven nodded excitedly and took her place back beside her daughter. As the ceremony came to a closure, the crowd that had gathered around them cheered.
Raven sighed. The ceremony had finished but she was expected to say some words of wisdom and to welcome her sister to the throne. As the audience turned to her, she took a deep breath and began.
“Queen Shadow, I have willingly turned my power over to you in hopes that you will rule accordingly and truthfully. Always listen to the people that you rule over and follow the advice of your elders. I welcome you and hope that you will take my advice.” She said.
Shadow smiled warmly at her sister. “I shall take your advice gratefully dear sister.” and she added in a lower voice. “Now get your ass outta here and to your man.”
Raven grinned and turned to her daughter, picking her up. “Come on Midnight. Let’s go home.” she said softly, opening a portal beside her and stepping through it.

Raven used the portal to get to her room in the ‘castle.’ She grabbed a suitcase that she had packed with her clothes the night before and another with Midnight’s clothes in it.
“Where are we going mommy?” Midnight asked.
Raven turned and knelt so that she was at her daughters height. “Were going to see your daddy.” She said quietly.
Midnight’s emerald eyes grew wide. “Really?”
Raven smiled. “Really.” She stood up and opened another portal. “Lets go baby.” she took her daughters hand and walked through, finally returning home.
