Second Chances

Chapter two
just Friends..

Dick Grayson took a deep breath. he hated to admit he was wrong, he always had, always would. reaching for the phone he winces knew this wasn't going to be pretty. he had Beast Boy's phone number from when Cyborg sent it.. Cyborg had been trying for almost a year and a half to get the two to make up but had been unsuccessful..

"Alright all I have to do is call and hope he doesn't hang up at the sound of my voice.." taking a calming breath "ok you know Kori will be happy if I take this step but why is it so difficult.." dialing up the phone number he waits for the phone to be answered..


Gar got up groggily making his way to the phone. he was in between the point were he was still drunk, and it changes into a hangover. "Hello?"

"Hey Beast Boy.." cringing at the voice

"Hello Rob, What do you want?" he asked obviously agitated but too tired to think of to just hang up.

"Look I'm Calling to appologize about our misunderstanding."

"Day late dollar short." he states.

"Look I'm Sorry, I know how much you two cared about each other but when the fight happened, you didnt see how Raven took it. It took almost a month before she wouldn't blow something up at even the mention of your name.. and I was afraid she would fall back into the dangerous mood swings.."

So you Decided that we both have to be miserable for everyone else!"

"Hey needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

"Well lets see you live in this rathole for two years and say that." he grabs a beer out of his fridge and slams the door. "yeah Really appreciate the heartfelt apology." he stated sarcastically.

"Sorry doesn't erase this shithole part of my life, Sorry doesn't get me Rae back, And Sorry Doesn't erase the words you said to me! Some friend you turned out to be Robin."

"Look Beast Boy I said I'm sorry If I could take it back I would."

"Yeah Why the hell it Take you Two Fucking years to appologize if you felt so bad about it?"

"ding ding ding Times up here's the answer, because you Didnt because you were only looking out for what was most convenient to you."

"Look Beast boy If you cant Forgive me for your own sake, Think of Star she missed you.." cursing under his breath "Alright I cant stand thinking of Star upset.."

"Alright how about we meet to smooth things over at the old tower?" "Alright I guess I can do that.. name the day and time."

"Thursday Four o'clock."

Raven sat reading a book.. when Happy disturbed her thoughts "So when are you going to ditch the Stiff and get Gar back?"

"I'm Not we're just friends now.."

happy whined "But Why We don't love this Guy!"

"Because he loves us.. well atleast me he doesn't know about you guys.."

"See another thing that makes Gar better, he has spoken to us and still loved us."

"Look just because we found him and I've forgave him doesnt mean we're going to get back together.."

"Why not?"

"Because we're in a relationship with Cliff, and while I admit he's not exactly perfect.. he hasn't done anything that I can break up with him over.. especially considering how close the wedding is.."

"So?"

"Look it would be rather Rude for me to ditch out like that considering how much everything has costed so far."

"but you dont love him.."

"I could learn to.."

another voice she wasnt as familiar with spoke.

"you Are So damned stubborn Raven, Love isn't Rational you cant Rationalize it so quit trying!"

"Alright I admit it I can't stand the guy but I'm not going to leave him just yet, for all I know Gar already has A Girlfriend he loves and then were will I be? stuck alone.."

"Stubborn Girl!" is the only answer she gets from the emotion as the conversation ends..

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Gar is taking a drink of water trying to clear his head when the phone rings again. "this better not be Dick." picking up the phone he hears tim's voice he had just gotten off work and only wanted to sit and watch some tv and get his mind off that mornings conversation.

"Hey Gar Get over to "The Beast Within.Think I got a Girl right up your alley.."

"In other words you got a girl you want to get alone but she's with her friend."

"Ouch That hurts Gar, I mean I'm not that shallow I'm just trying to get you to perk up a bit.."

"Alright I'll be over in twenty just let me get changed."

Gar had changed into a pair of khaki's with a black T-shirt, his hair was combed back with some gel with a pair of fingerless black gloves. he wore a pair of black dance shoes with a black leather jacket. "Oh Tim is Soo Dead." he states as he pays the cover charge that he really couldn't afford. as he makes his way over to Tim's table of course there was two girls one a bubbly headed blonde giggling at the dumbest jokes.. the other was quiet and looking obviously annoyed. Dressed in a midnight blue hoodie with black jeans.

flashing a grin at Gar as he sits Tim Winks then makes his way to the dance floor with the blonde.

"Umm Hi names Gar.."

"Pleased to meet you Gar, I'm Wren." she responds kindly civil. looking up from the menu she flashes half a smile..

"you're the Beast Boy!" blushing at being recognised it had been awhile since he had ran into someone who remembered that..

"Yeah, but I haven't been called that in almost two years I'm just plain Gar Logan now."

"Oh my God! I can't believe it, I used to be a big fan of yours I even talked my boyfriend of the time once into Cosplaying you and Raven for halloween.." she blushed at that admission.

"Umm That's interesting I guess." he was a little uncomfurtable to say the least..

she blushed a bit more "I Guess you probably dont Recognise me but You saved me one time It was about ----three years ago.. I was a junior in highschool and I was waiting for the Subway to get over to my aunt's for the weekend when I fell off the platform when this guy threw some explosive at you guys.. next thing I knew a Green gorilla picked me up and set me down just moments before the Train would of hit me.."

"Yeah I remember that fight." he says looking through the menu.

"Yeah I never did get to thank you for that.." her half smile breaks into a great big one.. as she slides her hood down Gar's breath is caught in his throat her hair was dyed a familiar shade of purple.. and despite the fact she had a much healthier skin tone, the resemblance was uncanny..

"Well Thats alright.." he states when he finally catches his breath..

"Well I'd still like to thank you I mean its not everyday you get to be saved by your favorite Superhero.."

"Well unless you happen to be Lois lane." the two chuckle at that little joke.

Dick Sat down. when a Still pissed off Starfire slams the door again. "Welcome Back Kori." he had never known her to be mad for two days straight at him..

she doesnt even acknowledge the greeting grabbing a bottle of mustard and storms into the living room.

"I Called BB This morning while you were gone." She just makes her way to the bedroom and tosses his pillow on the couch.

"That's nice." is the first thing she had said since she came back..

"I said We could meet him at the Tower Thursday.."

"I guess, We could but I wasn't the one who hurt him!"

"Look you know how Raven was acting after the fight I was scared she was going to blow something up.."

"You knew how afraid I was of fights with friends, And how much I had Worked to patch things up between those two.. And I find out the one person I expected to be helping me made it worse!"

Wren had her arms wrapped around Garfield as the morning broke.. she couldn't believe her eyes She had gone all night with the man that she had been dreaming of since highschool. It had been Wild, It had been better than she dreamed.. yet she knew it could only happen once. brushing his cheek she got up making her way to the bathroom to clean herself up..

Gar rubbed his head... "ooh headache." making his way to the bathroom he grips his ears when Wren starts screaming..

"Jesus Christ Dont you knock!?"

"Usually in my own apartment no.." he was irritated because the mix of the hangover and the screaming had given him one helluva headache.

She blushed standing in just a towel staring at the man trying to shake off a headache "Sorry you just surprised me I thought you were still asleep.."

"eh I stopped Sleeping in so late when I was with Rae.. Guess the habit just kinda stuck.."

A few minutes later she was sitting in a chair with Gar on the couch. both drinking coffee. "So what happened anyways I always thought you two looked so good together."

"Eh we had a bad Fight that got out of hand, I stormed out to let Rae cool off, and we fought again when I came back.. so I left"

"What was the fight about anyways?"
