Beast Boy sat with his eyes closed in the center of the room, waiting for an idea for a way he could escape… And where were Raven, Terra, and the other Titans? Beast Boys head was filled with thoughts and it was a difficult task to control them. Then, about an hour after being in the room there were a series of loud clicks followed by the walls beginning to rise. Beast Boy was actually in a larger room and the small one was more or less a cage. There was some sort of energy field that prevented him from escaping as well. Steps rose from the cage to a large eagle statue at the front of the room. Along the sides of the stairway there were large tubes and in each of them were on of the titans. On either side of the eagle there were Terra and Raven all of them asleep. There were shadows that came from an unseen hallway behind the statue and three men walked out, Slade, Kron, and some unrecognized kid with a laptop…

“Hello Beast Boy, or as they called you when you were younger,” Kron said “Garfield.”

A fourth shadow appeared behind the others and out walked Red X, “Sorry kid,” He said, “Did it to live.”

“Garfield, I want you to make a choice, next to me are two girls who you care about very much. I want you to pick one of them to save, they go with you, the other goes with me for tests on a new bio weapon, I could care less which one you picked now that I’m out of Terra’s little head. But, I promise you that, that girl will die. You also may ask why I’m doing this… well, because I think it’s entertaining. It’s a game now too, did I mention? Pick the right girl and I set you all free and don’t set off any bombs, I’ll totally skip your planet in my universal conquest for the time being, of course I’ll be back later. But if you choose the wrong girl, I blow up your entire planet with tactical nukes from the United States Defense thanks to Bizz here and his little laptop I have complete access to the weapon systems mainframe. And I kill all of you one by one. So, what will it be Beast Boy? Who Lives? Who Dies?” He looked down at Beast Boy…

“I, I…choose…” Beast Boy tried to think, he was breaking down and he knew it because a tear dripped form his face to the floor. Once again Bizz and Red X met glances and nodded this time…
“Hey...Raven... wait..." Beast Boy said, rubbing his head. “Wh- what happened to her? What happened to Terra? She hit me...” he exclaimed.

“Beast Boy, your nose is bleeding, here let me get that for you.” Raven said. She wiped Beast Boy’s nose with her cape to keep the blood from coming out.

“Thank you.” Beast Boy said. He smiled at Raven but was greatly disturbed by what had just happened...her first day home and something strange, unpredictable, and unexplainable, just happened and the Titans were going to get to the bottom of this before it evolved anymore like the last time.
Raven’s wide eyes focused on Beast Boy’s lips, were they touching hers? Please don’t do it Beast Boy…Please don’t do it…Love me Beast Boy, please don’t do it, she thought to her self almost half way over the barricade now. “Now,” Terra said and pulled him in the rest of the way to drown him in the most passionate kiss Raven had ever seen in her entire life.

But just then Beast Boy pushed away and looked at his feet, “Terra, I can’t do this, not now. We really have to get back to the Titans. Come on. They’re probably worried sick.” And he started to walk away down the sandy beach in the direction of the Titans Tower. Terra looked away almost straight at Raven but Raven remained undetected. She looked extremely hurt by Beast Boy’s actions a moment ago but it wasn’t like Raven cared…she wanted Beast Boy to herself…and the way things were looking now it was going to be that way.
Beast Boy stood out on top of the Tower looking out across the brightly lit city filled with people sleeping, the sun was shortly going to come over the expansion of the oceans edge.

“Beast Boy,” Raven said quietly. She walked out of the door to the inside of the tower so Beast Boy’s side, and looked at his dark profile.

Beast Boy turned and looked at Raven “Raven, I have to tell you something, see, it’s about Terra. And I really didn’t like her and me and her, we…”

“Wait,” Raven said, “That can wait.”

“But Raven,” he tried to say.

“Shh…” Raven whispered. She got even closer to Beast Boy, “Just listen to me Beast Boy, I love you. I love you to death,” she then kissed Beast Boy, funneling all of her emotion to him through the one simple touch of the lips. They stood there in front of the moon hovering over the horizon of blue holding each other, hoping that the night would not end. But it was ending and they had to get to their rooms and get some sleep. They broke contact and looked at one another and smiled and blushed a bit too. Then without another word, the two of them went into the tower and into their rooms. Quickly they fell asleep…not to be disturbed until the morning…
“Terra, WAKE UP!” Beast Boy yelled in her face, he grabbed her shoulders and started shaking them. Terra opened her eyes the rest of the way and saw Beast Boy, he had her in a straddle, and Terra shot forward giving Beast Boy a big hug. “TERRA!” He exclaimed. He hugged her back, tight.

“Beast Boy! I thought I was never going to see you again. I knew you’d come back to help me though, I knew it! I thought I was a goner.” Terra said pushing lightly away from Beast Boy and looking into his face, smiling. Beast Boy gazed into Terra’s eyes and Terra gazed back...they just sat there staring, until Robin interrupted.
“Excuse me ladies.” He said, as he combed his hair back with his hand. He used his funny British accent, which sounded awkward with the techno in the background, “I’m so sorry to disturb you but Miss Terra, dear, I was wondering if I may have this dance?” Terra blushed and gave Beast Boy her hand.

“Oh, of course you may!” Terra said with delight. The two of them got up into the middle of the room and did a slow dance style dance to the music which was totally off genre. The other 4 titans laughed playfully and watched. Half way through Robin and Star joined it. Raven got up and got a drink and Cyborg watched as the two couples danced oddly to the music, and smiled at himself, this was certainly entertaining. He liked watching the two couples running into each other and falling so once and a while.
“Terra, I…” He was cut of and could not finish what he was going to say because Terra had closed her eyes and pulled Beast Boys head to hers. “Kiss me.” She asked him in a whisper. “Kiss me like you have never kissed a girl before, now,” Terra said and pulled him in the rest of the way in to drown him in the most passionate kiss he had ever kissed in his whole life…“I choose... NO ONE!” Beast Boy yelled.

“Fine, I’ll choose for you.” Kron nodded to Slade. Slade pressed a button on a control panel as Kron spoke. The tube holding Raven opened and Slade pushed her through the force field to Beast Boy. She stirred as she slowly woke… “But,” Kron said smiling, “You chose wrong…”

“He reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a small trigger activator, “Sorry,” He said but when this place blows and your world is destroyed, I will be on my ship safe and sound…” Kron said with a smile.

“NOW!” Red X yelled. He punched Kron in the face and hit Slade with 3 of the Binding Bolts. Kron flipped back up and hit Red X in the stomach. Slade reached for his control panel but Bizz stepped on it with his boot. The tubes opened and the force field disappeared except for Terra’s, it wouldn’t open… Red X bashed Kron in the face again and he flew to the floor, dropping the remote activator. Red X and Bizz brought the unconscious titans out of the tubes and brought them all to where Beast Boy and Raven were.

“You okay kid?” Red X asked.

“I’m fine thanks to you.” Beast Boy replied, “But we need to get Terra out of there!” He ran over to Terra’s tube, “Terra wake up!” He yelled, “Red X help me!”

Red X came dashing over to Beast Boy’s side and they both pulled on the cover to the tube but couldn’t get it to budge.

“Come on kid, we can’t help her!” Red X said. We have to get out of here!”

“No! We’re getting Terra!” Beast Boy screamed in reply.

“Heh heh…” Kron laughed, “There is no way you little shits can win,”

“Azarath,” Raven whispered, still dazed…

Red X grabbed Beast Boy and pulled him over to the others, “Come ON!” He yelled.

“NO! WE’RE GETTING TERRA!” Beast Boy screamed at the top of his lungs…

“There is no hope,” he continued, reaching for the detonator, he grabbed it.

“Kid there’s nothing we can do he’s gonna blow this place!”

“NO! NOOO! LET ME GO!” Beast Boy fought to get out of X’s control but Red X let him go and shot a binding X at him which restrained him, he grabbed Beast Boy and started to run towards the group.

“Metrion,” She said a bit louder coughing…

“No chance at all...” he finished. Kron detonated the bombs and was teleported away to his ship…

“Zinthos!” Raven yelled… there was a massive flash and everyone closed their eyes….

“TEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Robin opened his eyes, all he could see was ocean, and his friends, Red X and some young kid, and they were all awake now.

“What happened?” Robin asked them, there was a large boat behind all of the titans in two pieces smoking and sinking…

“When Kron detonated the bombs it made the ship explode, but Raven saved us all with a shield of dark mater.” Red X explained.

“What about Terra, and Slade, and Kron?” Robin questioned…

“Slade escaped with Kron onto that,” Red X pointed up at a massive space ship of some kind hovering in and taking up half the sky, “And we still have no idea where Terra is of if she survived the initial explosion…”

“What about the nukes?” Robin said, eagerly.

“Look behind you,” Red X replied… pointing over Robins shoulder.

Robin turned around and saw absolutely nothing, nothing at all, no people, buildings, the spot where Titans Tower was supposed to be wasn’t even existent, all that was there was a mile high mushroom cloud left over from the explosion, they were just out of range. Nothing was left, every nuclear device on the face of the planet had been detonated and everyone was dead, maybe a few thousand people survived….at the most…

Just then there was a loud sound of metal grinding on metal coming from the sky and everyone looked up. A massive door opened on the belly of the gigantic ship and millions of small one man alien ships flew out, creating a dark cover over the already dark and very much dead sky.
