Change. (Beast boy x Raven)

3.

The next morning my phone vibrated loudly against the wooden nightstand. I cracked one eye open and reached for the phone.

The brightness of the phone made my eyes cringe as I unlocked the lock screen.

A message from Bruce blinked as I read it .

"Meet me at a coffee shop on 30th ,called winters palace. At 3:00."

I texted back a small sure and slowly got out of bed.

I hooked my phone up to my small blue tooth speaker and hopped in the shower. The music was drowned out by my racing thoughts as I felt the water cascade down my face.

My stubble was getting thicker as the days went on, I didn't feel like shaving recently. My hair was messy and a bit chaotic from my lack of styling it.

By the end of the song I turned the faucet off and sighed.

I missed my friends and I felt more alone then ever without them.

Maybe a roommate is what I needed.

I threw on a dark blue v neck and some jeans then slipped on a black jacket.

I did a small scan of the hotel room, to make sure I had everything I needed.

I grabbed my phone and walked towards the hotels elevator.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and cyborgs face was blinking on my screen.

I answered it and was greeted with a loud hi.

"How's it going?" I smiled into the phone.

"It's good, it's actually great getting to see my family." His voice softened and I could feel how happy he was.

"How are you doing?"

I walked into the elevator " I've been okay, actually on my way to see someone who needs a roommate, Bruce set it up for me"

"Like Bruce Wayne?"

"Yeah" I smirked.

Cyborgs enthusiasm rang through the phone. "Damn that's awesome, well I'll let you go, I got some things I gotta do, let me know if you end up with that roommate though"

"I will, talk to ya later"

"Bye"

Victor hung up and I walked out of the hotel, signaling a cab.

By the time I made it to the cafe I was a couple of minutes late.
I jogged in and saw Bruce sitting with a woman.
I ran over to them "I am so sorry that I'm late, there was so much traffic, I guess I'm not use to that"

Bruce smiled "Don't worry about it, take a seat"

I sat across from the pair and finally looked up.

The woman stared me down with violet eyes. Her hair was a dark purple and fell slightly over her shoulders.
"You didn't tell me he was part of the teen titans"

Her voice was smooth and stern.
She was a real eye catcher and it showed as men cast there looks over towards our table.

"Uh.."
Was all I could allow past my lips.
Bruce chuckled "Didn't think it was important"

She sipped her drink with disinterest. "So, your looking for a place to stay?"

"Uh yeah"

"You don't mind rooming with another person?" Her eyes flickered up from her cup and her stare held me down in place.

"Not at all."

She shuffled through her bag and slid a pair of keys across the table. "Anytime your ready to move in, just come"

I looked on with surprise "That easily?

"If Mr.Wayne trusts you than I don't see an issue"

I smiled brightly "Thanks!"
I shook her hand and her eyes widened some.

"Oh sorry"

She brushed my gesture off and Bruce slid out of the booth. "Well I best be off" he walked out and she slid out next.
She was a good foot smaller and she wore a baggy long sweater that was grey and skinny jeans. Her bag was over the shoulder and had a little cat doll hung on the zipper.

She handed me a piece of paper. "This is the address as well as my number"

I took it gingerly and smiled "Thanks and you don't mind if I come tonight?"

She returned a small smile "Not at all"

"Oh um what's your name?"

"It's Raven"

"I'm Garfield"

"Well Garfield I'll see you tonight than" she walked out the door and I was still caught on when she said my name. The way it rolled off her tongue.

I snapped out of my small daze and made my way back to the hotel, slightly happier.
