Love Conquered

Decisions, Decisions

Suki had been in the kitchen enjoying a coffee when Raven walked in. "Finally had enough?" She teased. The empath grinned before teasing back, "I can ask you the same thing." Suki blushed wildly, "He's...insatiable and I'm no better." Suki shook his head, "It's the first time for the both of us, being with someone...like us." 

Raven smiled before gently squeezing the girl's shoulder, "But that is not just why he likes you." Suki blushed before hesitantly wondering out loud, "Whenever I asked him, he never had an answer. We had been talking about it before we were attacked...but do you know if or when you guys were supposed to leave? If he's said anything about staying?" 

Raven let out a shuddery breath. "I don't, and honestly this wasn't like a planned vacation. I magically teleported us here and we've been here licking our wounds and keeping our heads down in shame." Raven shook her head in angst, "We f****d up a lot in our town in the U.S and I'm honestly not pumped to go back for round 2. But...it is kind of what we signed up for." 

Suki nodded and Raven could see the devastation in her eyes, "Don't think turbulent thoughts because of me though." Raven quickly told her, "The way things are looking we MIGHT not go back." Suki smirked at her friend playfully, "Please don't say that for my benefit." 

Shrugging Raven admitted, "We've all been really happy here. Cyborg found love, Star and Robin mended the fences, and I finally got the man I loved here. I don't want to leave in all honesty because Titans Tower holds nothing but ghosts for us now." 

Suki sniffled, as a tear from her brown eye went down her cheek, her mechanical blue one suddenly glowing brightly. "But you MIGHT have to go back." 

Raven threw her hands up, "All I know is that Robin, the biggest workaholic I know, has yet to say one word about it. If that's not conflicted I don't know what is." Suki giggled making Raven grin c*****g her head to the side. She honestly really liked the female cyborg for her older brother. 

Victor Stone had been her rock when Beast had left Titans Tower, he deserved this. Her. 

"Would you consider making the move? I mean I know it might be hard but-." Suki blushed, an adorable sight on the small Japanese girl, "H-he said he was happy here so of course, I know he'd stay for me. But I don't want to take him from all of you. And yeah I'd move to be with him but...I guess I just don't want to assume he'd want me to come." 

Raven snorted, "Assume? Darling, he'd roll out the red carpet for you in a heartbeat." Holding Suki's hand in hers, Raven admitted, "And I'd want you to come." Suki melted truly touched and Raven grinned, "You were there for him, you've made him so happy, and you were here for me yesterday while I was fretting my man was injured. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know." 

Suki nodded as she sniffled, "Thank you." 

When Raven went upstairs and looked to Beast lying on the bed, the thought crossed her mind, 'Where DO we go from here?' 

Beast has gotten rid of Jong, so they no longer would be attacked or treated like scum from the wolves. With Wolfie being the alpha that was guaranteed. Robin had yet to say anything about needing to go back or wanting to. And if he did say they NEEDED to go back, Raven didn't think she was capable of saying no.

Her father had been defeated purely out of the goodness she had mastered WHILE being a superhero for the Titans. The good she did saving people, helping the innocent, and fighting for those who couldn't. 

But she also didn't know how Beast fit into that mold anymore. 

He had found peace, success, and happiness away from the Titans and Raven would hate to beg him to come back with her and him resent her for it. 

Swallowing hard, Raven broke off from looking at her man and went to take a bubble bath. Enjoying the hot water as the bubbles slid over her skin like silk, Raven sighed wondering how she'd even have the subject come up in conversation. 

When the door opened, Raven smiled when Beast came in with a grin, "Can I join you?" Smiling Raven nodded and he quickly dropped his boxers before climbing into the tub with her. Wrapping her in his strong green arms, Beast kissed his woman's head before asking, "What's got you so deep in thought baby?" 

Raven faced Beast and softly asked, "Beast...would you consider coming back to Jump City...with us?" 

Silence. 

Robin had just been stirring when he heard his phone buzzing. Looking at Starfire he kissed her shoulder before grabbing his phone, "Yeah?" He groggily answered. "So sorry to wake you," hearing the familiar sarcasm being thrown at him, Robin greeted the person bitterly, "Bruce. How can I help you?" 

Bruce scoffed checking his monitors, "Well it seems you and your band of friends have disbanded, crime has increased in your city and shits being done about it. The police are at their wits end. So, are the Titans finished are aren't they?" 

Robin knew Bruce wanted an answer then and there. That was the man he was, but Robin glanced over at his woman and thought of all the stress, the fighting, the time she almost left...it was all engrained in his head and he didn't know what was the best choice for THEM. 

"Let me get back to you on that." Hanging up, Robin sighed in annoyance when he immediately got a text. 

B: You have 24 hours before I put someone else there.

Throwing his phone on the nightstand, Robin looked over as Starfire sat up, her green eyes looking into his with concern, "Bruce?" Robin slowly nodded, "He told me crime went up in Jump, he wants to know if we've disbanded, if we're coming back." 

Starfire sighed and laid her head on his chest, "Are we?" 

Silence.
