A/N: So the fourteenth story, #7, is completed! And it wasn't posted months after it's deviantart version, yay!!!!! Anyway, this started being one for the main Titans team but I figured that since they get all the screen time, some other Titans deserved the spotlight for a change. It was easy to change because the way I wrote it doesn't reveal who they are till the end. Enough from me, hope you enjoy!

Summary - One of the Titans is leaving, but which one?

7. Pack

"You're really going?" she asked, watching him throw a large assortment of unidentifiable items into an already packed suitcase.

"Yup," he replied, not bothering to turn to her. He bent over to look underneath his bed for anything he might have forgotten. To his god fortune, he found another, albeit smaller, suitcase as well as a variety of knick-knacks he hadn't known he'd possessed.

She sighed, leaning up against his door frame. "Is there anything I can say to make you stay?"

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Really."

A long silence stretched on, accented by the soft sound of too much stuff being forced into a confined space. Neither spoke a word to each other as they reflected upon the reason for his decision. She still couldn't accept it.

"Look, I'll make up for-" she began before he interrupted.

"There's no need. My mind is made up." He zipped the bags up and made one last circle around his former room to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything. The things that were too big to fit in his suitcases – even if they weren't stuffed to bursting capacity – would have to be sent to his destination. He wasn't about to set foot in this place again.

"If it's something we can-"

"No, it's not something we can discuss," he interrupted again. Sighing, he said, "It's not really anyone's fault, okay? It's... just what I need."

She threw her hands up in defeat. "A break then. Can't you just take a break for a while, just to sort out your thoughts? See if this is what you really want to do?"

He shook his head. "I know this is what I want to do." His searching had ended and, finding nothing more, he was running out of excuses to not look at her. It wouldn't damage his resolve but... it made it seem more final somehow.

"You're not going to regret this?"

"No, I won't."

"We'll have an empty seat on the team."

"There are reserve Titans. You can pick anyone of them."

"It won't be the same without you."

"Yeah."

"We'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

She seemed to want to say more but held it back, knowing it wouldn't do any good.

He sighed as he reached out to pick up his heavy suitcases and, finally, looked her straight in the face for the first time since announcing his departure a few days ago. "I'm leaving and I won't be back."

With that, he pushed past her into the hall and started his way down the hallway in the direction of the elevator and the front entrance. She stood in the hall, unable to do anything to stop him. The name "Speedy" stood out on the now closed door, a dull reminder of what had just been lost.

And Bumblebee could do nothing but stare after her friend teammate, knowing nothing would bring the former Teen Titan back.
