A Few Questions Answered

The door leading to the Titans main room opened. In came a yawning Beast Boy. He was rubbing his left eye with his left hand.

Beast Boy, and the rest of the Titans, had slept in their uniforms, which wasn't that much different. As soon as they got home, Robin, Cyborg, and Jinx took Kid Flash to the nursery, hooked and oxygen mask to him, and then left him and Jinx and went to their respective rooms.

Beast Boy and Starfire had flown to the garage. They had gently dropped the cycle in Cyborg's work zone, and then wordlessly walked their tired bodies to their rooms, too.

And now it seems Beast Boy was the last to wake up.

Through sleepy eyes, the changeling scanned the room. Starfire was making breakfast (well, what Tamaranians call breakfast), Robin was waiting for his food (well, what Tamaranians call their food), and Cyborg was drinking coffee from a mug while reading a newspaper. The front cover was about the wrecked football field in a high school and a crash on an empty store.

Just like old times.

"Good morning, friend Beast Boy," Starfire greeted. "I hope you had a well-rested sleep."

"Yeah, nice," Beast Boy mumbled. He walked to the kitchen to make his own tofu breakfast.

He remembered something then.

"Hey, where's Raven?" he asked.

"Over at the couch," Robin answered, at the same time Cyborg pointed towards the couch without looking up from his newspaper.

Beast Boy walked over to the black furniture. He peeked over . . . and there she was, lying down, fast asleep. She was facing the TV, and her body was bent to match the curve of the couch. Beast Boy couldn't help noticing how peaceful she looked, sleeping like that with her hood down. If he didn't know better, he would think she was a nice, innocent, girl. If she was still in that "normal" look she had, she would have looked even more innocent.

It did not match the background scene behind the green boy, where Robin was gagging from his girlfriend's meal while Cyborg almost squirted coffee through his nose from laughter.

But he didn't seem to take notice.

Instead he was still staring at the girl in front of him who was practically his complete opposite.

The sunlight streaming through the window illuminated Raven's face, outlining her features, and making his gray skin almost silver. Every feature seemed to glow: her nose, her eyelid, even her eyelashes seemed longer than usual. Her skin looked softer. Beast Boy had a sudden urge to poke her cheek.

And then his eyes traveled to his lips. He didn't know it, but he was blushing as he stared at them, and he had no idea why he had sudden interest.

But of course, someone had to ruin the moment.

And that someone is . . .

"BEHOLD! Your number one nemes -" suddenly the man on the TV screen paused and stared at the people in the room. "You are the Teen Titans, right?" he asked in a normal voice.

"Um, no?" Robin tried.

"LIAR! BEHOLD! Your number one nemesis has returned!" he shouted. "I am your greatest fear; I am your worst nightmare; I am Contro - "

"SHUT UP!"

Suddenly the whole screen was covered in black. The confused villain looked around him, and before he could ask what was going on, the TV cracked. It cracked, like a mirror.

The screen was now blank, with many spidery lines shooting from the center.

The hand, extending from the couch, dropped back down, its owner grumbling angrily.

Meanwhile, the Teen Titans had widened eyes at the unexpected-but-should-have-been-expected outburst.

The girl on the couch slowly sat up, stretching and yawning. All of a sudden, she looked behind her with killer eyes that gave everyone in the room heart attacks.

Four chibi Titans were suddenly huddled by the table, hugging each other, trying to protect each other from the monster that is their teammate.

Even Beast Boy, who was just admiring her earlier, was hugging for dear life.

Raven turned back around and then stood up. She rounded the couch, heading to the door that leads to the hallways. As she got closer, the chibi Titans huddled even closer and tried to scoot as far away from her as possible.

She stopped in front of the table.

Their breaths stopped in their throats.

"Sorry, I'm just really tired from last night," she muttered, not looking at her teammates. Her bangs covered her eyes.

She then proceeded to walk to the hallway. When the door opened, Jinx and Kid Flash stood in the door way.

"Um, good morning?" Jinx said.

Raven just ignored them and walked past them.

The couples looked to the pale Titans. And then they noticed the TV screen. "What happened?" Kid Flash asked, shocked to see his source of entertainment gone.

Cyborg just shook his head. "Keep this in your heads: NEVER wake up a tired Raven!"


The morning had quickly passed.

Right after breakfast, Jinx and a revived Kid Flash left to go back to their own city. Robin went to the garage to start working on the R-cycle. Cyborg started fixing the TV screen so he could hack into Murakami High to un-register themselves from the roster. Starfire flew to return the book they borrowed from that bookstore (and maybe get that book for foreigners), and that left Beast Boy alone.

He knew what he should be doing: thinking about the damage he had done to the Titans for meeting that stupid genie. He also knew the perfect place to think.

He exited Titans Tower in the back. He usually came here to think. It was the same place where he discovered Terra's uncontrolled powers, and the place where he apologized to Raven for attacking her in his beast form.

He had a sad smile from those memories as walked over to his favorite spot.

However, he stopped.

Sitting at the rock, the same place she sat that night, was Raven, staring at the water.

Beast Boy gulped. Is she still mad?

"Don't worry, I won't kill you," she said, still not looking in his direction.

The changeling stiffened. "How did you . . . ?"

"I can hear you gulp from all the way over hear. Plus you're walking on stone."

Beast Boy blushed at his stupidity. He then cleared his throat and continued walking to his spot. He sat next to Raven, on the right.

There was a long, awkward silence between them. Raven had her hood up, shading her face, but he knew she was staring into the distance.

The green boy switched from watching her, to rubbing his arm, to rubbing his neck, to taking off his shoes and socks and dipping his feet in the water. He hoped Raven didn't mind.

Raven didn't move from her spot.

Beast Boy considered whistling, but he thought it might irritate her. So he just sat there, wiggling his toes in the clear liquid.

He then noticed a pebble next to where his hand was resting. Like all the other times, pebbles near water reminded him of Terra. He picked up the pebble and examined it a little. Then, with a bored face, he threw it across the water. It skipped twice before sinking into the depths.

He would never be as good as Terra.

Once again, the awkward silence rested on the two teens.

Beast Boy was just about to take his feet out of the water and go think somewhere else when, from the corner of his left eye, he saw a rock float.

He looked towards the direction of his companion and found a small rock coated in the same energy substance as Raven's, hovering just below the girl's shoulder. His eyes followed when it zoomed to the water, bouncing four times before plopping into the ocean. (It is an ocean behind Titan's tower, right?)

Looks like girls are better at this than him.

He returned his gaze to Raven. He gulped again and then cleared his throat. "Um, Raven?"

Raven didn't say anything.

He continued, "I - I'm really sorry about what I put you and the team through. My stupid wish lead to all these problems that didn't need to happen." Beast Boy's voice was soft. "I would say that it wasn't my fault, that it was that gangster's, but I think it is my fault. If I didn't overreact from their comments and just ignored them, the past few weeks wouldn't have happened. The past few weeks would have occupied more important problems than these. We could have finished off Adonis, or fought Mad Mod, or jailed Control Freak . . . again."

Beast Boy suddenly had a thought. "To make it worse, I did it to ALL the Titans. They probably had no idea what was going on! They were probably confused why they didn't have powers! What if they tried to fight some bad guys attacking their city? What if I got them hurt? Just because of one stinkin' wish, I probably ruined the lives of a thousand people - Titans AND the civilians they couldn't save!" Now the changeling felt like crying, be he held back the tears. "Sooner or later, they'll find out. They'll find out it's me, and then they'll get really mad. They'll hate me, want to take revenge on me, maybe kill me! And for one, selfish wish!"

When the teen stopped talking, he realized he hadn't been taking in any breath. He started panting and sweating, both from that and the terrible things the Titans could do to him.

"Hm."

Beast Boy jumped a little. He had forgotten he was talking to Raven. He had somehow made himself think that he was talking to himself.

"Don't worry, they'll get over it," Raven said.

The teen looked at her. Raven still hadn't moved.

"I mean, maybe in the beginning they'll be mad, but they'll get over it. They'll understand. Maybe everything you described will come true, or is true, but that's highly unlikely."

"How do you know?" Beast Boy couldn't help asking.

Raven shrugged. "We're Titans."

That could explain a lot to someone smarter than Beast Boy.

Raven sighed and leaned back on her hands. She tilted her head upwards just a bit, revealing her mouth.

"I talked to Morku while I was bringing him to the ocean."

Beast Boy's eyes widened.

"He didn't attack. He seemed tired. He woke up while I was carrying him - and by carry I meant I carried him with my powers," Raven added before her teammate could interrupt. "We talked while I was flying. He explained everything. You were the master he was assigned to, but you weren't making any wishes anytime soon. So, he made you, so he can be free.

"He turned into Jordan, approached a gang of high school kids, and then mind-controlled them to thinking they were his posse. He went to us and purposely berated us. He tried his best with you." Raven looked from the corner of her eyes to Beast Boy to see his expression, but he just kept quiet.

"His plan worked when you flew away. The Titans did beat up that gang, but Jordan got away. He quickly followed you and then set up a fake carnival at the docks, where he was sure you would pass over. With the power that he had, he was able to make it look like the workers at the dock were there to play. He then played as Rokum and got you to wish something. After that, he suggested we go to high school, which would be perfect for him to disguise as Jordan and watch us. He was a pretty good actor. Also, high school is full of drama, so he knew you would be making a wish soon."

Raven took a deep breath and said, "By the way, I found out your second wish was for me." Beast Boy smiled embarrassingly. Raven rolled her eyes. "Anyway, your second wish surprised him. He didn't know it would come that quickly. With two wishes already done, he needed that third wish, but you were stubborn. So, he tried another tactic."

At this Raven paused. Beast Boy, impatient, said, "And what was that tactic?"

Raven sighed. "Getting you jealous by making Jordan ask me to the dance." She looked at Beast Boy this time and raised an eyebrow in her shaded face.

The other teen gulped for the third time. With that information, Raven would be smart enough for her to find out that he . . .

Thankfully, Raven looked away and continued with her explanation. "It worked; you made a third wish, but it wasn't how he planned it. He admitted that . . . that we were strong. With all of us together, we could have beaten two of him. At the same time."

Beast Boy tried to imagine the disaster that that would cause.

Raven sighed again. The changeling waited for more, but it seemed that was all she had to say. "So . . . why were you in the ocean?" he finally asked.

"I took him to the deepest part of the sea and dropped him in it," Raven answered calmly.

"What? That's it? Dude, he can control the elements. He could just part the sea and walk back here! Or he can make an air bubble and breath underwater! He can - "

"The closest land he's near to is 50 miles away, and it's Antarctica. You did hear him, didn't you? That he's not immortal?"

"Yeah, but - wait you flew all the way to Antarctica?"

"It was faster going back than going to."

So, that's why she slept on the couch. She wouldn't have made it to her bed.

As he mulled over this, another silence took over them.

That is, until Raven talked again.

"You know, being normal wasn't that bad," she said.

Surprised, Beast Boy looked at her. She had tilted her head upwards again, revealing her mouth and - GASP! - a small smile.

Entranced by this, he continued to stare. Again, he was surprised by the next words.

"Being normal, I didn't have to worry about my powers. A different part of me that's not me was able to let go of all those restraints and let go. It was your second wish that got out of hand, but I still, somewhat, enjoyed it. Without my powers going crazy, I was able to show emotion. I did stuff I normally wouldn't do. I was able to hang out with you guys. Smile, watch, giggle, even - "

Beast Boy's breath stopped again, but it wasn't because he was scared. It was because Raven's confession. Raven, the "demon" of the group, the always stow-ick one, the quiet one, saying the most words she has ever done in one hour.

"Even . . . even laugh at one of your jokes. I was free to do that."

S-U-S-P-E-N-S-E

Beast Boy thought he was going to faint from happiness. "So, the reason why you didn't laugh at my jokes was because if you do your powers would go berserk?" he asked.

Raven frowned again. "No, those other times you weren't funny," she deadpanned.

Bursting with joy, the changeling suddenly hugged Raven. "I don't care! At least you listen! Like Cyborg said!"

With the sudden action, Raven's hood fell down. She was blushing at his hug, but only a little bit. Raven thought about the emotions she had inside of her. I bet Happy and Love are having so much fun right now, she thought.

Beast Boy was laughing. Raven laughing proved one thing: she did like him! Maybe not as much as he just realized he liked her, but enough to have a chance!

He couldn't help it!

Still with arms around her, he leaned back, and then leaned forward again, but this time, to plant a kiss on Raven's cheek.

The corner of his green lips touched the corner of hers, and he kissed her for about five seconds. After that he looked back at the girl.

Raven's blush increased tenfold.

Beast Boy's grin vanished into thin air.

". . . . . ."

". . . . . ."

And then the teenage boy jumped off of the teenage girl like she was on fire. Crud! Did I just do that? DID I JUST DO THAT TO RAVEN? he shouted in his head.

He stared at his teammate, who was seemingly frozen.

Suddenly, the water near their island turned black and exploded. Rain sprinkled over the two teens. More of the water went wild. One formed a column and then zoomed itself to Beast Boy, washing away his shoes. The boy yelped as the water attacked him.

While this went on, Raven was still in shock. He - he - he k-kissed me? Her hand touched the place where he did, gently touching it. It was . . . it was so close to her lips! Raven blushed some more and this time the rocks rumbled.

The water was done attacking Beast Boy and the remaining water splashed all over him. Now he was vibrating on top of a rock. He looked at Raven. Oh man, now she's probably mad at me! There goes my chances!

Suddenly, the rocks glowed black, including the one BB was sitting on. They all floated and then flipped over, dropping the poor teen to the remaining rocks on the ground. The rocks that floated shot up way up to the sky, high enough that it made stars. (Team Rocket is blasting off agaaaiiiiin!)

Beast Boy sat up, rubbing his head injury. Once again, he looked at Raven.

She was standing, her hood back on, her face completely shadowed. For the fourth time, the green teen gulped. The waters were calm now and the rocks would most likely be part of the asteroid belt by now.

Raven looked in the direction of Beast Boy, and then she looked away. She walked towards the door into Titans tower, muttering, "Nice talking with you, Beast Boy."

She passed him, her cape sending a wind to the other gender. He stayed there, sitting and soaking wet. Yup, all those chances, gone as fast as those rocks. He shook his head slowly, disappointed in himself.

And then he felt it. A slight touch. The tiniest touch of all, but he felt it. His heart grew warm.

Raven had bent down, and pecked Beast Boy on his cheek, just for 5 milliseconds. Then she glided off, towards the door, any rock in her way shooting off to the side and into the water.

Beast Boy watched her go, that grin back on his face. Now those chances were back!

He put his hands behind his head and lay down on the rocks. Right now, they were piles and piles of marshmallow clouds . . .

He closed his eyes in happiness.


That scene with Beast Boy and Raven, that's the scene that started it all!
About a year ago, I had an image and thoughts in my head.
'What if, Raven was normal and she laughed at Beast Boy's joke, and she confessed that to him? That she liked being normal because she can laugh with him?'
And then BOOM It Just Might Come True was born! I just made stuff up along the way, no matter how untrue :)
*clears throat* Anyway! Here you go: the big climax! Sorry if it wasn't to your liking, but . . .
I actually have a tendency to make endings a little too much, too dramatic.
If you don't believe me, look at my other stories, though they're not Teen Titans.
So I tried to be as realistic but still be able to satisfy readers . . . How'd I do?
Well, thank you again for reading this fic! I had ups and downs, blah blah blah, hope to see you in some other time!
Bye! XoStarcicleoX
WAIT YOU DIDN'T WARN US LAST CHAPTER THAT THIS WAS THE END!
To tell you the truth, I didn't even know this was the ending 'til now!
Oh, if you have more questions that hasn't been answered, you can ask 'em!
