Roek stood outside the Teen Titans headquarters, letting the sea-smelling breeze blow through his long white hair as it shone in the moonlight.  He looked out at the city lights, then back at the tall, T-shaped building behind him.

"So much has changed…" he murmured to himself.

"What did you expect after a thousand years?"

Rorek turned to see Raven standing to his left, her dark figure outlined with the silver light of the moon.  "You should be in bed," he said to her.

She smiled at him, "Did you really think that I'd let you slip away without saying goodbye?"

Rorek chuckled softly, "Figured it out, did you?"

"Yeah…" said Raven, coming to stand by his side, "I figured that you're not really the type to work in a group; it's one of the things I liked about you."  For a moment, the both of them were silent.  Presently, Raven asked, "So…what are you going to do?  Now that you've defeated Malchior and you're not bound to that book…where will you go?"

Rorek turned his eyes back to the city.  "I'm not sure…" he confessed, "But I will continue to fight the darkness, as I always have.  I'm sure that, in time, I will grow accustomed to this world and it's ways."

"But…" said Raven, somewhat slowly, "shouldn't you have someone with you to teach you about these things?  Someone who knows this world?"

The wizard turned back toward her.  He couldn't help but feel pity for this young girl, as he looked into her hope-filled eyes and guessed her thoughts.  "Raven…" he said gently, "I think I know the real reason you have come to me at this hour.  But I must tell you…I must go alone.  I cannot take you with me."

Raven looked into his eyes for a second longer, then blushed and looked down at the ground, "I…guess I shoulda figured, huh?" she said quietly.

Placing his hand under her chin, Rorek lifted her face gently so that she was looking into his eyes again.  "I am not the man you think I am.  Nor will I ever be." he rested his hand on her shoulder, "You need to let go of that image…that fantasy.  Once you do, I think that you'll find that there is much more ahead of you then what I could ever offer."  

Raven's eyes fell, "So I guess…I guess this is goodbye then, huh?"

"Nay, my daughter!" said Rorek, "I have no doubt that we will meet again, for we both work for the same purpose; to fight for justice.  We travel the same direction on different roads, and I have do doubt that our paths will cross often."

"And even if the don't…?" asked Raven.

"We will see each other again, I promise."

"Well, in that case…see ya 'round!"

Rorek smiled kindly at her, "My blessing goes with you Raven." he touched her forehead gently and she felt an unexplainable peace wash over her.  For a moment she closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of tranquility.  After a time, Rorek took his hand away from her head and she opened her eyes and looked up at him.  Without another word, he turned from her and began to walk away.  She was about to tell him one last thing, when she heard a sudden crunch! behind her.  She turned to look for what caused it, but didn't see anything.  Assuming that it had just been some sort of animal she turned back to where Rorek was.  But when she looked again, he had vanished; there was no trace of him anywhere.

"Raven!" sounded Beast Boy's voice from a little ways off, "Hey, Raven…look, I just wanted to--what's the matter?" he asked, seeing the disappointment in Raven's eyes.

Raven just shook her head, and Beast Boy came to stand beside her.  "He left, huh?" asked Beast Boy.

"Yeah," said Raven slowly, "I guess I knew he would, but…" she trailed off.

"But you hoped that he wouldn't?" finished Beast Boy, "Yeah…I know.  But I don't think that he would have fit in, even if he had stayed."

"How come?" asked Raven, turning to look at Beast Boy for the first time since the conversation started.

Beast Boy grinned, "Well…I don't know about you, but I couldn't exactly see him eating pizza and playing Loaded Questions with us."

Raven laughed quietly in spite of herself, "I…guess I could see your point.  But if you put it that way, you could say that I don't belong here ether."

"That's different." Beast Boy replied, "You only pretend that you don't like doing those things.  But we all know you do!"

"Oh yeah?" said Raven, still smiling slightly, "How?"

"That's how!" said Beast Boy, pointing to her face. "Don't think that I don't see that smile when your listening to me and Cyborg play video games, or watching Robin trying to eat Starfire's food and pretend he likes it." Raven chuckled and Beast Boy continued, "And I ALSO know that, deep down, you think I'm hilarious!"

"Okay…THAT'S pushing it!" Raven replied.

"Well…it didn't hurt to try."  For a while, the two of them stood together in silence, staring out at the city lights.

"So, why do you hang out with me if you think I'm so creepy?" Raven found herself asking impulsively.

"Huh?" said Beast Boy with a confused look, "Well…um…you don't know?"  Raven shrugged and Beast Boy continued, "Well, sure you're creepy, but…that doesn't mean you're not a cool person.  I said you were creepy, I didn't say I didn't like you.  Heck, you can even be fun when you try!"

Raven smiled at him, "Only when I try, huh?"

"Well sure, most times you're kinda boring."

"According to whom?  Maybe I'm loads of fun and you just don't know it." she teased.

Beast Boy grinned widely at her, "So then…you wanna go throw goo-filled balloons at Cyborg?"

Raven rolled her eyes, "Sure, whatever.  And then I could go for some pizza…"

"Dude, really!?!"

"Yeah…" said Raven, turning to go back inside, "but don't get used to it!"  

Beast Boy watched her walk inside, "Wouldn't dream of it." He ran to catch up with her.
Please don't critique me on this, as it was only for fun, and I didn't put a whole lot of effort into it.

It's done! :dummy: I'm personally pretty happy with how it turned out. And I'm happy that I (finally!) got past my writers block enough to write this. X3

Uh...not really much else to say. I hope you enjoyed it! :meow:
