Teen Titans 1. Chapter 1

**This is my first fanfic ever and it is a BBxRae Fanfic. I'm going to use a bit of the Trigon plot from the comic book (New Teen Titans) but it will have quite a few changes so that it will match the style of the show. Instead of taking place on different dimensions or worlds it will take place on earth. If enough people ask me to, based on this first piece, I will write more. So make sure to review if you like it. Thank You, and now, ONWARD! Disclaimer: I do not own teen titans, no matter how much I wish I did. :D**

**CHAPTER 1?**

It was a sunny day in Jump City and all but one of the Titans were enjoying basking in the sun's rays. Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire all lay on lawn chairs on their home's roof, they were all wearing bathing suits. A pitcher and 5 large glasses filled with ice water were on a small wooden table that stood to the side, it was covered by a giant beach umbrella. Raven sat underneath the umbrella as well, with a heavy book in her hands.

"Ah, this is great. The next best thing to actually taking a vacation at the beach." Beast Boy sighed contentedly and looked over at Raven who sat a few feet away from him, still wearing her trademark leotard and cloak. "Hey, Raven. leave that book and come join us." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, she frowned at him but didn't say anything.

"Yeah, Rae, you know you want to." Cyborg grinned at her and continued to look at her until she spoke.

"No. I don't. The sun and me don't exactly get along." Raven went back to her book. It was quiet for a while and all that could be heard was the occasional flipping of the pages of her book. She realized Beast Boy was still staring at her. She looked up at him and saw him sitting up, looking at her curiously, it was obvious he had a question on his mind. She sighed, "what?"

"Heh, heh. It's just that, you say you burn easily, but you're half demon. Aren't you supposed to be resistant to heat or something?" Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably as he spoke, he was afraid how she would react to his mention of her being half demon. He knew that that was a bad subject to touch with her if you valued your life.

It was quiet for a while and he noticed that everyone but Raven was staring at him in shock, their mouths open in surprise. Raven's expression hadn't changed a bit.

"Uh, Beast Boy? Maybe y-" Robin started but Raven cut him off.

"No, Robin. It's alright. Beast Boy was just asking a question." Raven wasn't wearing her hood so they could see her eyebrows furrowing in thought. She was trying to decide how much to explain. Her face relaxed back to its usual bored look, and she looked at her four friends who were staring at her curiously. She hated when they stared at her. "Two words, UV Rays."

"Uh, that's two letters and a word, actually." He paused, "Anyways, does that mean you're sort of resistant to other kinds of heat? You know, cuz of your dad?" Beast Boy added while his other teammates gave him looks that definitely meant they wanted him to drop the subject.

"Look Beast boy, Ultraviolet light burns me, and that's all I'm going to say on the subject." She went back to reading her book in silence, a small frown on her face. She hated being reminded of what she was, who her father was.

"Okay, but I still think you should join us. I could get you some sun block, and then you could enjoy the sun, like us." Beast Boy insisted.

Raven didn't appear to be listening but on the inside she was trying to control her temper, how many times did he have to ask her to join them in the sun before he would learn that she didn't want to, and never would. She wasn't anything like them. She wasn't anything like anyone she would ever meet. She had nothing in common with _him_.

"So, do I get you the sun block? I could help you put it on." Beast boy wiggled his eyebrows at Raven again, but this time in a more flirty manner.

"I already have sun block on." He was making it really hard to keep her face expressionless, she decided on an annoyed look.

"Then come join us. It's just like the beach, it's only missing the water, well, the sand too. Other than that, it's almost exactly the same." He saw Raven roll her eyes at him. "You like the beach, don't you Raven?" He added grinning at her, his fang jutted out over his upper lip.

"No." Raven's eyebrow twitched and she pulled her hood on to hide her face. Everyone knew this was a warning for beast boy to back off but he didn't appear to get the clue.

He stood up and walked over to the small table next to raven, still grinning, "Wow, it's hot. I'm overheating, if we were at the beach, I'd jump in the water right now. But I guess I'll just settle for a nice cool glass of water." He moved really close to Raven, who was now openly glaring at him. He reached for a glass of water with deliberate slowness, his eyes not leaving raven for even a second. When his hand reached its destination, he felt only air. He looked over to where the glasses had been, a confused look on his face. He gasped in surprise as the pitcher and all 5 glasses of icy water were emptied over his head. "Ahh!" He looked over at Raven angrily and saw that she now had a small smirk on her face. Her book lay closed on her lap.

"Why settle for less, right?" Her face was neutral once more.

Beast Boy growled, "What's your problem!"

"I thought you wanted to get wet." Raven said in a serious voice.

Beast Boy looked at her angrily, turned into a dog, and shook the water all over her causing her to gasp in shock. As soon as he saw the look on Raven's face he regretted it. He was suddenly encased in dark energy and found himself flying through the air. She'd thrown him off the roof and disappeared through the floor into the building, while his friends looked on with smirks on their faces. He quickly turned into a bird and flew back to the roof.

He scowled at his friends, "You thought that was funny!? I thought you were my friends." he crossed his arms and pouted like a little kid.

"Oh yes, it was most amusing to see friend Raven do the pouring of the water upon your head." Starfire giggled, a huge smile covering her face.

"Yeah man, you kinda asked for it." Added Cyborg laughing, "You shoulda seen your face when she did."

"And when she threw you off the roof, priceless." The team leader chuckled and Beast Boy looked at him surprised. "I know I'm not usually one to encourage fighting or arguing for that matter, but you had it coming, and it was pretty funny."

Beast Boy suddenly began to laugh along with them. It had been pretty funny, and Raven had smiled a little too. He decided then that it was worth it, just to see her smile, even if it was at his expense. He'd do anything to see her smile. His smile quickly faded as he realized that in the end he'd made her angry by wetting her back. He groaned, "I'm gonna go apologize to Raven now."

"Really? Cyborg and me usually have to _make_ you go apologize. What's different about this time?" Robin looked surprised and for some reason that annoyed Beast Boy. He had apologized on his own before, hadn't he?

"Nothing, I just don't want to ruin this week for her, its been a while since we had a break from fighting villains, and it was going so well until I had to go and open my big mouth." Said Beast Boy shrugging, but deep down he knew it was more than that. '_I want Raven to be happy no matter what,_ he thought,_ and having her be happy with me is an added bonus_.' He felt his ears grow warm at the thought but no one noticed.

"Ya do have a big mouth BB, almost as big as your ears. But are you sure you should be goin' anywhere near her at the moment? She looked pretty mad." Cyborg grabbed Beast Boy's shoulder and looked at him seriously. He didn't like it when Raven and Beast Boy fought, out of all the Titans they were his closest friends, they were like his little brother and sister, and he knew that whenever Beast Boy tried to apologize to her he had a tendency to make things worse.

"Cy, I have to." Beast Boy turned and started to make his way to the stairs, trying to think of what the best way to apologize would be. He decided he would make her her favorite tea, take it to her room and just say he was sorry. He smiled to himself but as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, and began to set his foot down on the first step, the alarm went off. There was a villain on the lose. The week long break was over, and his apology would have to wait.

**Thank you for reading this, and remember if you want me to write more, just say the word. Please review. I need to know what I did well and what I need to improve upon. Even just saying if you liked it will help. COME ON PEOPLE! BOOST MY SELF-ESTEEM! LOL.**

	2. Chapter 2

**Hello, so I wrote some more… I apologize for the delay, I had been planning to update a lot sooner but my computer literally blew up. I'm not joking, I plugged it in and the battery just exploded. I actually have a small burn where I was holding the cable when it caught fire. Unfortunately, I had to re-write everything because I hadn't saved it on a flash drive like I usually do (Never making that mistake again) but I'm done with Ch.2 now and as Mumbo says, the show must go on! So… Here you go. Enjoy! (Hopefully)**

**I do not own teen titans. Teen titans is property of DC Comics and CN. If I ever do own Teen Titans you will be the first to know. ****J**

**Chapter 2**

Robin

When the Titans arrived on scene, there were several police officers tied up in what appeared to be several handkerchiefs tied together into a very colorful rope. Mumbo stood in front of the bank, trying to get the last of the money from the ATM machines. "Mumbo Jumbo!" The money floated into Mumbo's hat while he laughed and made faces at the officers who lay on the ground.

"Mumbo! Shows over!" Robin yelled as they neared the blue faced villain. Mumbo looked up in surprise but a smile slowly spread across his face.

"Alright, let me just finish, wrapping things up!" He yelled back as he waved his wand at them and sent several yards of his handkerchief ropes wrapping around them tightly. They struggled for a bit until Starfire broke through her bindings and Raven snapped the rest with her powers. Mumbo was running down the street laughing like a madman and when he saw the Titans chasing after him he laughed even harder. He began launching things at the titans from his top hat as he made his way across the street. This included several giant rabbits that were now attacking both the titans and any civilians that had stuck around. While Beast boy, Raven, Cyborg, and Starfire took care of the rabbits, Robin continued the chase on his own.

Mumbo sent several vases with flowers flying at Robin's head which he easily smashed out of the air with his Bo staff. He smirked as he got even closer to grabbing mumbo. "It's over Mumbo. Give up and I won't have to hurt you. Much."

"I don't think so my boy. The Show must go on!" Mumbo waved his wand, as Robin ran at him swinging his Bo staff over his head, turning the staff into a giant python which immediately began to coil itself around the very surprised boy wonder.

"Ahh!" The boy wonder yelled as the snake tightened its hold on him and began to squeeze the air out of his lungs. If he hadn't been so used to Starfire's hugs he was sure he would have already passed out.

"Robin!" The red headed alien flew up to him and began to pry the snake off him. She was careful because she didn't want to hurt robin by mistake and the snake had a really good grip on him, she knew how delicate human bodies were. As she pulled one part of the snake off him another part would wrap itself back around Robin. Robin struggled as Starfire tried to free him, but was pulled in even deeper. It even began to pull the Tamaranean princess into its deadly embrace as she fought to free her boyfriend.

The last robin had seen of the battle, Raven and Cyborg had been trying to capture the rabbits, which kept multiplying every time they were hit, while Beast Boy ran after the crazy magician as soon as Robin was unable to do so. Robin squirmed to get a look at the fight. When he managed to get a clear view of the action, hoping to see his team gaining the upper hand on Mumbo, he felt his stomach tighten in a way that had nothing to do with the giant serpent that now held him. what he saw was definitely not what he was hoping for.

"He's getting away!" Robin managed to let out a muffled yell as his head was pulled back under the serpent's writhing body. "He got Beast Boy!"

**Sorry this is short but like I said, I just re-typed this. I wanted to put something on so you didn't get tired of waiting. Before I go, to continue writing, I would like to thank deux voix and BlackCat160 for being my first reviewers. I actually saw your reviews around five minutes before my laptop's unfortunate demise. I went giddy with excitement, to plug in my dying computer, in disbelief that someone actually wanted to read more, and my computer died permanently. ****L**** I had been about to add Ch. 2. ****L**** Well, enough sad stuff. I've got to get to work.**

**While I waited for my new laptop I bid my time by reading other works on this site on my ipod. Everyone should check out work by Beautifulpurleflame, who is an awesome writer.**


	3. Chapter 3

**I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS! (Sniffle… Sniffle… Sobs uncontrollably) WHYYYY!**

**Oh, well, whatever. On with the story.**

**Chapter 3**

Cyborg

Beast Boy had chased after Mumbo and gotten him to stop running. He had fought Mumbo as a tiger while Mumbo magically dressed himself up in a circus tiger tamer outfit, complete with whip. Mumbo had snapped his whip at Beast Boy, while Beast Boy growled menacingly at him. He had pounced, and in that instant, mumbo whipped his hat off his head, and sucked Beast Boy into it.

Cyborg and Raven were rounding up a group of murderous rabbits that kept increasing in number whenever one of them landed a blow. At first that had been a big problem, but Cyborg and Raven had worked out a solution, and were currently acting on it. Cyborg was busy maneuvering the rabbits in Raven's direction with his sonic cannon, while she trapped them in a huge cage made of black energy. Even though his cannon had no visible effect on the rabbits, including not causing more rabbits to burst forth, they hopped away from it whenever they were hit.

"Boo-yah!" Cyborg jumped in front of a rabbit that was busy chewing on a lamp post, with humongous razor sharp teeth, and hit it with a beam from his cannon, sending it scurrying in the opposite direction. Right into a giant black claw that grabbed it by its ears and dumped it unceremoniously into the waiting cage.

"Twenty down and about ten more to go! We're more than halfway there!" Cyborg pumped his fist in the air a huge smile on his face, but his celebration was cut short when he heard a muffled yell coming from somewhere behind him. He couldn't make out what had been said and turned towards the sound, just as the voice of his leader broke through the chaos once more, still muffled, but understandable.

"He got Beast Boy!"

Cyborg's human eye widened and he looked at Raven, making eye contact. She nodded hastily, understanding that he wanted to make sure she'd be okay on her own. She then reached out and grabbed a rabbit in a giant black fist, to make sure her point got across. Beast boy needed rescuing and Raven would finish rounding up the killer rabbits on her own.

"I'm on it!" Cyborg yelled as he turned and ran in the direction of his best friend, quickly catching up to Mumbo who had stopped to enjoy his own show. He reached out to grab the man and gave out a triumphant, "Gotcha!" As his fingers closed around the man's arm.

"Ooh, better luck next time," Mumbo chuckled as he twisted out of Cyborg's grip and moved away. Cyborg tried to take a step forward and seemed confused when his legs failed to respond him, "or as we say in show business, break a leg!"

Cyborg looked down dreading what he would find and his legs immediately fell out from underneath him and began to hop away on their own. They got farther away until finally they stopped and jumped into mumbo's hat one after the other. "Yo! Give me back my legs!"

He looked around to see if anyone was coming to take care of Mumbo. He saw Star and Robin still struggling with the snake, which seemed to be growing bigger by the second. He then noticed all the rabbits were contained inside a large sphere of dark energy. Raven wasn't there. His head snapped back to the direction he'd seen mumbo run off in and saw Raven flying after him, her eyes glowing white. They had made it to the park and they needed to finish it off before they caused any more destruction elsewhere. Raven would finish him off that was for sure, _I'm going to enjoy this, _Cyborg thought with a small smile, _no one takes my legs! No one!_ Cyborg watched as Raven got close to mumbo and opened her mouth to yell. _Raven's gonna make him pay!_

**Will Starfire and robin make it out of the serpent's clutches (can serpents clutch?) Will Raven be the one to catch Mumbo? Or will Mumbo get away taking Beast Boy and Cyborg's legs with him? All will be revealed next time on TROTTT (The Return Of Trigon The Terrible-duh! JK :P)**

**Please Review! Even if it's just to tell me to write faster or to yell at me for short chapters. I'll even take a, "Wazzup!" Please! Thanks in advance to anyone who reviews.**

**Because this was shorter than what I was originally going to post, I'm going to post another part tomorrow, after I go over my writing (I tend to obsess over grammatical errors for hours.) I posted this now as a thanks to De Logan for reviewing and because I think it made a nice transition to the next part which follows Raven more.**

**The more reviews I get the quicker I'll post, not because I'm a jerk or anything but because it is seriously a huge motivator.**


	4. Chapter 4

**I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS, not even a little bit.**

**Chapter 4**

Raven

"Azerath Metrion Zinth-" Raven was hit in the face by a stuffed rabbit before she could finish her spell, and choked as several of the rabbit hairs went down her throat. "Oh, that's it!" she yelled angrily, but began to cough before she could use her powers. She glared at Mumbo's amused face while she tried to clear a few stray hairs from her lungs.

"Brings back memories doesn't it?" Mumbo asked smugly as he picked the rabbit up from the floor, it was wearing a small blue cloak. Raven growled, clutching at her throat. "You know, you could have been a great assistant." He sighed and began to wave his wand around, "Oh well, time for the finale!" He pointed the wand straight at Raven's face and began to open his mouth to yell his magic words, but instead he let out a shrill scream. His wand was encased in dark magic and exploded in his hand, sending several shards from the broken wand flying into his face.

"You talk too much." Raven said simply as she looked down at the now normal looking Mumbo. The old man kneeled and gathered the pieces of his shattered wand that now lay among the dirt and stones. Raven looked up to see Beast Boy running towards her grinning at her and holding up Cyborg's legs. She had to try hard, to not match his smile. Instead she turned around and watched as Star and Robin unwrapped a very twisted Bo staff from around themselves. Everything had turned back to normal, just like it always did once Mumbo's wand was destroyed.

Robin was smiling as he made his way to his friends, his arm wrapped around Starfire's shoulder, who was supporting him as they walked. Raven gave them a small nod as they thanked her for saving them from dying of asphyxiation.

"I do not think I could have held the snake off for another moment. It was beginning to do the breaking of my bones when you beat Mumbo," Starfire gave Raven a very small hug, which surprised her, she'd been expecting one of Starfire's bone crunching hugs. After the snake, it seemed she now finally understood what her hugs felt like to her friends.

"Looks like you'll be headlining the show in prison." Robin grinned at them, proud of himself for that line, but his smile quickly turned into a frown when Beast Boy let out a loud groan.

"Dude, that's worse than anything _I_ would've said." He frowned slightly, "Actually, I think you've used that line before."

Robin ignored Beast Boy and looked at Raven, who was still staring at a crying Mumbo. She felt him watching and tried to hold back a smile at the upset aura that was coming off him, it seemed she wasn't the only one that Beast Boy managed to annoy. She continued to watch as Mumbo groveled on the ground and tried to pick up all the little bits and pieces of his wand. Outwardly, Raven had a small frown on her face but she was happy on the inside. They had caught Mumbo with minimal damage to the streets around them and had prevented any civilian injuries. It could have gone a lot worse. She looked back at the gawking boy wonder and he immediately turned back to the boy that had annoyed him earlier.

"Beast Boy go untie the police officers so they can take Mumbo away." Robin ordered, and then walked over to Cyborg with Starfire's help, to help him reattach his legs.

As soon as Raven was left alone with Mumbo, she noticed he was no longer crying. On his face there was only a very blank expression that immediately piqued Raven's curiosity. She was about to ask him if he was okay when he picked up a rock and threw it. The rock hit a very surprised Raven in the eye and she grunted in pain. The instant the rock left his fingers he began to run. Mumbo didn't usually attack them without his powers and she hadn't expected him to try, especially not with her. Rumors had gotten around after her encounters with Doctor light, that if anyone made her angry she would transform into a demon and try to kill them in painful ways. That wasn't completely true, but she wasn't one to deny rumors, especially ones that would help her keep villains in line.

She grabbed her eye and watched as a very frightened Mumbo crashed into a wall of dark energy and was lifted 60 feet up in the air. She saw her teammates all look up in shock as the dark energy holding Mumbo suddenly released him, and sent him plummeting down to the earth below. He gave a loud scream as he fell and Raven saw his eyes roll up in his head as he fainted in fear. If he hit the ground from that height he would surely be killed, and Raven didn't do a thing to help him.

**(Sigh) Review after reading please… (kneels and pleads)… PLEEEAASSEE! I'll do anything! Well, not **_**anything… **_**but you get the idea.**


	5. Chapter 5

**Hello Everyone that is still reading this…**

**I apologize for the long wait, I know its been 2 months, I think, but I was away in L.A. and when I got back I was faced with the reality that I now had a job, much quicker than I'd been expecting. Unfortunately the job is very hands on and it happens to be peak season until after new years. I was too tired to update or even write, although the ideas are burning holes in my mind. Hopefully you will enjoy this chapter, and hopefully now that I'm getting more used to my new job, I will now have the energy to update much quicker, but if I don't that is why. Just so everyone knows, no matter how long I take between updates… This story will NEVER die, BC I hate it when other writers do that, besides, its all plotted out. So ONWARD HO!**

**Teen Titans in no way belongs to me, and I do not stand to make any money off of my writings. This is merely written for the fun and enjoyment of myself and others.**

**Chapter 5**

Cyborg

"Starfire!" Robin yelled as soon as it became apparent Raven was going to let Mumbo hit the ground. Starfire immediately flew up and caught him, his head inches from the floor. Cyborg could only watch with an open mouth.

Robin's initial expression of shock transformed into anger as he turned to face Raven. Everyone else still looked shocked, including the young Raven herself. Raven was staring at her own hands in surprise. Cyborg looked closely at Raven's face, it was obvious to him that she had no idea what had just happened. He saw the emotions leave her face as she composed herself, before turning to face the other titans who were staring at her.

"Raven, you know we are not supposed to hurt the people we catch, especially not when they are powerless." Starfire said calmly, trying to understand why Raven had done what she did, she hadn't appeared to lose her temper like other times, she had seemed calm even after the rock had hit her in the face. Cyborg looked away from the Tamaranean to finish reattaching his legs to his body. As soon as he was done he looked back to his teammate and saw that she was looking back at Starfire, her face as expressionless as ever. The conversation that followed gave him chills.

"I didn't do that to Mumbo." Raven spoke slowly in a monotone that didn't give anything away.

"But it was your dark energy, was it not?" Starfire asked curiously. She knew that if it had been her friend that had dropped Mumbo, then surely it had been an accident.

"Looked like it, but I don't think it was. I didn't feel it leave me." She replied in a firm voice that told them she didn't have a single doubt. It hadn't been her.

Cyborg trusted Raven completely and if she said it wasn't her, then he believed her. But that left them with a bigger problem, if Raven hadn't done it, then who or what had? Had it been another half demon or someone controlling Raven's powers. Cyborg shuddered, he'd seen a little of what Raven's powers could do and knew that what he'd seen was probably not even a tiny part of what she was capable of. He didn't want to think that there could be someone else out there with powers like hers, or the ability to control hers.

Cyborg looked at his friends and was happy to see that they all believed Raven, he breathed a sigh of relief for her. He'd been inside her mind before and knew that though she never showed it, she had quite a few insecurities, the last thing she needed was for the team to doubt her words. Cyborg was about to suggest they wrap everything up and go for pizza, when he noticed Robin's expression. Even with the mask covering his face Cyborg could see that the spiky haired teen doubted Raven's words.

Robin finally spoke up. "Raven, are you sure? This wouldn't be the first time you lost control of your powers."

Raven scowled but didn't respond. Cyborg was about to speak up on her behalf when he was beaten to it by a certain green skinned changeling. "If Raven says it wasn't her, then I believe her. When has Raven ever lied to us?" His voice was firm and steady as he glared at their leader. "Never, that's when."

Cyborg was surprised by Beast Boy's words and he saw that raven shared his surprised expression.

Robin barely glanced in Beast boy's direction, his mouth in a tight line, before turning back to Raven. "I just want you to be sure. You _are_ the only person we know who's a…" His voice trailed off suddenly. He looked uncomfortable, as though unsure of whether to continue or not.

Cyborg thought he could hear a small growl coming from Beast Boy's throat but immediately dismissed the idea. He also saw Raven wince slightly at his unfinished sentence.

"What? a half demon?" she spat the words out violently and he saw Robin flinch slightly, he noticed Raven seemed mildly pleased at his reaction. If Robin wasn't careful she really would lose control. Everyone knew how much Raven hated to be reminded of her heritage and Cyborg couldn't believe it was Robin who was bringing it up in such a way, and in public no less. The police officers that had been tied up were now nearby as they had come up to them to retrieve Mumbo. One of the officers passed very close to Raven as they made their way back towards their cruisers and Cyborg watched Raven as she suddenly stiffened and clenched her fists. Cyborg and her made eye contact and Raven relaxed slightly, unclenching her fists, and instead scratching at a small sunburn on her neck that he hadn't noticed before. She still looked uncomfortable as Robin continued speaking, when the officers were a little farther away. Robin didn't want them overhearing their little argument.

"Well yeah, couldn't you have lost control and not felt it? He _did_ hit you in the face."

Cyborg felt a chill go up his spine as he saw the look Raven was giving Robin. He'd never seen a look like that from Raven directed at one of her teammates, at least not at one that wasn't Beast Boy. She looked ready to grab him with her demonic powers and shove him headfirst into the nearest brick wall, but when she spoke her voice was surprisingly even. That made her even scarier.

"Robin, do you ever _not_ feel when you run a mile? When you throw a punch? When you exert yourself in any way that takes up energy? My powers are part of me, I feel them when I use them, and they drain my energy. Every time I use my powers it's like I'm putting a little bit of myself into whatever I'm moving. I would have felt it if I'd lifted Mumbo as much as you would have felt it if you'd picked him up with your bare hands."

Robin looked thoughtful, but didn't say anything else. Cyborg felt himself be pushed aside as Beast Boy made his way up to their leader.

"Robin, they're _her _powers and she knows how they work better than anyone else." Beast Boy was almost nose to nose with Robin and Cyborg had to put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Beast Boy glared at Cyborg but calmed down when he spoke up next.

"Yeah man, and she'd already said something along those lines to me before." Cyborg remembered when the T-car had been stolen and she'd told him she understood how he felt, because she felt something similar when she used her powers.

"Yes, and I have had to use her powers in the past. What she says is true." Starfire looked up at Robin seriously.

Cyborg looked hopeful for a moment, but it was a very short moment, as he caught a glance at Robin's face. Robin looked ashamed of bringing up Raven's father and her powers and he looked sad that everyone was angry at him, but he didn't look like he believed Raven at all. Cyborg sighed, this was _not _going to end well.

**It's short, but please don't hate me.**

><p><strong>Chapter 6<strong>

Beast Boy

Beast boy was angry. Maybe angrier than he'd ever been before. At least as angry as he'd been when he'd turned into The Beast for the first time and had been blamed for the attack on raven. He'd been ready to physically knock some sense into Robin, when Cyborg placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned around to face him, ready to yell at him too, but then he spoke in Raven's defense, followed by Starfire, and Beast Boy visibly relaxed. Most of the team was on Raven's side, Robin was the only one being a stubborn jerk. When Robin's expression didn't change after listening to both Cyborg and Starfire's arguments in Raven's favor, he heard Cyborg's sad sigh.

Beast Boy stared at Robin and grew even angrier than he had been moments before and he finally realized why he was so angry with Robin. The expression on his face was a familiar one. Beast Boy felt his stomach drop, it was the same look he'd been given when everyone thought he'd attacked Raven as The Beast. Beast Boy felt himself grow sad. Robin just couldn't believe in anything without evidence, and in this case, the evidence there was, pointed directly at Raven.

Beast Boy's anger swelled up within him once more. Raven wasn't a liar and he wasn't going to let _anyone_ treat her as such. Even if it was Robin, the boy wonder, leader of the Teen Titans, and he got kicked off the group.

"Robin! I don't know what your problem is, but you seriously can't believe Raven is lying, can you?" Beast Boy looked his team leader in the eye as he confronted him, hoping for an apologetic response, but all he got in return from him was an uncomfortable shrug. Beast Boy took a step back, looking completely disappointed.

"It's okay Beast Boy, let him think what he wants." Raven spoke calmly, but her voice sounded loud in his ear, and he realized with a jolt that she'd moved closer to his side. He looked at her closely, his eyes narrowed. His expression very similar to the one raven wore when he said something stupid or annoying.

"No." Beast Boy stated firmly, dismissing Raven's words with a wave of his hand. "I won't let anyone blame you for something you didn't do."

Raven looked surprised at his words, or maybe it was at his insistence in defending her. She quickly tried to hide the look of surprise that crossed her face, but she wasn't quick enough. Beast Boy had noticed. He felt something warm in the pit of his stomach, he'd surprised her. Raven wasn't one to be easily surprised, but he'd done it. Raven caught him staring at her and gave him a small grateful smile. The feeling in his stomach intensified and so did the need to defend her. He turned back to Robin, more determined than before.

"I thought you would have learned by now, that not everything is always what it seems." Everyone focused on him once more, and he felt Raven's eyes on his face, but he blocked everything around him except for Robin. He didn't want to lose his train of thought as was known to happen, and he definitely would if he paid attention to the fact that Raven was now looking at him, with interest written clearly across her face. "You didn't trust me once, and you regretted it later. I think you know what I'm talking about. All clues pointed to me but I was innocent. You didn't believe me like you now don't believe Raven. I believe her, and so should you. Don't make the same mistake twice."

Beast Boy saw Robin look ashamed and turn to Raven, he followed his gaze and was pleasantly surprised to find Raven still looking at him. Their eyes made contact and they both smiled at each other. Raven's smile was small and delicate and Beast Boy knew his was anything but. He was grinning like a lunatic, his smile so wide he felt his face was going to be split in half. He heard someone clear their throat loudly and turned to see Robin smiling at him and Raven. Raven's smile slowly faded from her face, being replaced by a look of complete curiosity. Beast Boy was slightly saddened to see it go, but his face mimicked her features, slowly becoming curious as well.

"I'm sorry. Beast Boy is right. You're my teammate and friend, but not only that. All five of us are a family, and families trust one another. I trust you and I choose to believe you. I won't make the same mistake twice." Beast Boy listened on in surprise and felt a strong urge to yell loudly that he'd been right and Robin had admitted it, but he restrained his Beast Boyish impulses, and remained quiet. Watching Raven's smile reappear on her face, he was glad he hadn't ruined the moment. He spared a glance at the rest of his team and saw that they were all smiling, and he was pretty sure Cyborg had wiped away a tear. He ignored that fact for now but told himself it would be quite a juicy detail to remember later. Instead, at that moment, he decided to focus his attention back to Raven. In the distance he heard the others say they were leaving for pizza, and he nodded absently when he was asked if he was going to fly there. He then walked up to Raven, watching her closely.

Raven had made her way to the side of the street where the cops were still trying to get an unconscious Mumbo into a patrol car. He kept folding in the direction of the door and falling out. Beast Boy smiled at the fact that an unconscious Mumbo was proving harder to get into a patrol car than an alert one. Beast Boy was about to mention the fact to Raven, hoping to get another smile out of her when he saw her stiffen suddenly. She was staring intently at a young police officer with silvery white hair. Beast Boy focused his attention on the young man but he looked completely normal to him, maybe she knew him from somewhere. He started to shrug it off but he saw her face become paler than was normal for even her, as her eyes widened in fear. He immediately rushed to her side.

"Raven, what's wrong?" His voice was urgent, and Raven seemed to snap out of some sort of trance as she stared at Beast Boy in shock, as if only just realizing he was there.

"Nothing," she spoke slowly, unsurely. "I just thought I saw someone I knew, but I think I was wrong." She still looked anxious but seemed to relax somewhat as she looked at him. "It doesn't matter anyway, we should catch up to the others before they get to the pizza place and order without us."

Beast Boy shuddered, not knowing for certain, whether it was the idea of Cyborg ordering the meaty supreme pizza or because of what Raven thought she'd seen. Whoever it was she had mistaken the young man for, must have been bad news if they had put her so on edge. Raven wasn't easily scared, so if something worried her, it couldn't be anything good… or easy to beat for that matter.

As they started to walk away side by side, he saw her sneak a glance at the man once more while scratching at a particularly red area on her neck, it looked painful and ready to bleed as she continued to assault it nervously with her nails. She saw him looking and immediately covered her face with her hood, walking away faster than she had before. Beast Boy gave the police officer Raven had been so transfixed with, one last glance, before running to catch up with her.

	7. Chapter 7

**Hello my peeps… long time no see, er write… no read… whatever. You get what I mean. I planned on updating like a month ago but was once again whisked off to LA. Then, my sister was hospitalized. Also, work is crazy. But, hey, I'm here now. Ok, so, I wrote this on my iPod because I got tired of waiting for my new laptop to arrive (Fedex totally lost it and it had to be replaced) so please excuse any weird capitalization issues that there might be. Now that my computer is here I will finally start updating more consistently (or at least less sporadically), so rejoice, my fellow BBRae fans!**

**I do not own teen titans… as of this moment, but I will. Oh, yes I will. Just you wait. (evil smirk)**

**Chapter 7**

Beast Baby

Raven sat alone in her room for what seemed like hours. She'd left the pizza shop as soon as she'd been able to do so without raising suspicion. The truth of the matter was that that cop had shaken her up, no matter how much she tried to hide it. What made things worse was that Beast Boy had seemed to pick up on her anxiety and wouldn't stop looking at her. She'd finally snapped and told him to stop staring at her, and he'd looked away sadly, making Raven feel guilty after how he'd defended her. She had apologized to Beast Boy for snapping at him, and said she was going home to meditate. No one had stopped her, and Beast Boy had had the sense for once to leave her alone. Now she was lying on her bed, in her dark room, wishing he'd followed her so she wouldn't have to be alone.

Raven silently cursed herself as she sat up indignantly at the thought of wanting Beast Boy's company. She thought about the concern he'd shown for her when she'd freaked out over the cop with the long silver hair.

That cop had seriously freaked her out. One moment she was looking at a group of what appeared to be normal cops, and the next, one of the cops had caught her attention. Her heart nearly stopped as he made eye contact with her. His eyes were a deep blood red, not only that, there were four of them. She blinked in shock and found herself staring at a normal young man once more, but even then, she hadn't been able to get rid of a prickly sensation on the back of her neck. That cop was bad news, and she wondered just how long that news would take to get to them.

Raven shuddered one last time before changing her thoughts back to Beast Boy. He had been watching her with a worried face, just like he had done later at the pizza place. Beast Boy cared about her and she yelled at him for it. She let out a long sigh, she would have to make it up to him somehow, but it would have to be in some way that didn't make Beast Boy think she was going soft on him.

She let out another sigh and at that precise moment there was a loud knock on the door. She jumped, startled by the sudden noise but quickly composed herself before opening the door. Beast Boy was waiting on the other side with a huge smile plastered across his face. He was holding a tray with a teacup and a small sprig of lavender on the side.

"Its chamomile, prepared it myself" he beamed proudly up at her. She looked at the teacup for a second, then her eyes slowly wandered down to the hands holding the tray and her eyes widened almost imperceptibly in surprise, but not quite. He noticed where her eyes were looking and chuckled lightly, "Heh, guess I need to learn how to pour water without spilling. You would think a superhero could make a pot of tea without burning themselves." His hands were red and splotchy, and the color looked strange against the green of the rest of his skin. He walked into Raven's room without waiting to be asked and set the tray down on her bedside table.

"Most heroes can," Raven said as she reached for his hands. He winced at the contact, but then her hands were covered in a bright blue light as she began to heal him, and he relaxed as the pain was taken away.

While she held his hands with her own, Beast Boy looked her in the eye and waggled his eyebrows in what he thought was a seductive way, "couldn't keep your hands off the beast man forever, now could you? no one blames you, I_am_irresistible."

Raven raised an eyebrow at him and let go of his hands. They dropped to his sides and the pain immediately came back as the partially healed burns came into contact with his jeans. He groaned in pain and she smirked at him. "Thought you were The Beast Man, not Beast Baby," she added when he let out a whimper, but she took his hands back into her own to finish the healing process.

Beast Boy looked relieved and thought about saying something, but decided to wait until his hands were completely healed to speak.

The blue glow finally died out and beast boy held onto Raven's hands tightly. "I'm not a baby, but if you like you can call me that, I kinda like how it sounds, _Beast Baby_," he paused and then added in a lower voice, "but just as long as I get to give _you_ a pet name too." He winked at her with a slightly crooked grin.

Raven scowled and pulled her hands away, completely hiding the fact that her stomach had fluttered when he held her hands, and at the thought of calling him baby, even though she knew she'd never do that. Calling older people baby was weird to her. "How did you even burn your hands so badly, anyway? I doubt pouring tea would result in both your hands being burned, or at least to that extent." She asked coldly.

Beast Boy blushed a spectacular shade of red. "Uh, I kinda forgot the tea kettle would be hot and I grabbed it from the sides. _T__hen_ I dropped it on the counter when I got burned and the water splashed out over my hands."

Raven nodded, that sounded just like Beast Boy. She sighed dramatically, "so... What did you want?"

"I brought you tea as an apology."

"Apology? I'm the one who should apologize. After how you defended me, I snapped at you. You were just concerned about me and I overreacted. I'm sorry Beast Boy." It took a lot out of her to admit to him that she felt badly at the way she'd treated him. She hadn't planned on apologizing at all. She had just wanted to make it up to him somehow so that he wouldn't go back to thinking she hated him. But Beast boy had come to apologize for whatever he thought he'd done wrong this time, and she decided she should let him know she was sorry as well.

"Uh... That's okay. Actually, I'm sorry about earlier, on the roof."

_The roof? what happened on the roof? _Raven looked confused for a split second before she realized what he meant. _oh. _"Oh, that."

"Yes, _that__.__"_

" I have nothing to forgive you for."

"But... Aren't you still mad at me? You know... For wetting you."

"I'm not mad at you beast boy, I don't think I ever was. Especially not for wetting me back. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. You were just doing to me what I did to you."

"Then, why'd you leave the roof?"

She frowned, "I don't want to talk about it," mainly because she didn't know why she'd gotten upset. Was it because they had talked about her demon heritage? or because she'd actually started to enjoy her little fight with beast boy. She would never admit it to him, but she enjoyed the attention, even though at the same time it annoyed her. How was it possible to enjoy something and find it completely irritating at the same time? She couldn't for the life of her figure it out. She sighed, "look, I just want to be alone for a bit, okay?"

Beast boy nodded and he let her close her door. He remained standing there for a few minutes, he would figure Raven out some day, that was a promise he was determined to keep. He knew he had the motivation to keep trying. He would never quit until she opened up to him. And then he would make her like him, like he did her. He frowned, he liked her? That much? _oh my god, I have a crush on raven,_ he thought, _she is so totally going to kill me if she finds out._

**What will happen next? Will Raven find out and kill beast boy? Does Raven like him back? And again, where the heck is Trigon? All these questions and more will be answered in the next installment of The Return of Trigon the Terrible. Make sure to review and ask for the next chapter. I like it when you beg. Mwaa! Ha! Ha! (continues evil laugh until it is interrupted by a violent coughing fit) No, really, please review, even if you also PM me. BTW, anyone who wants can PM me, no need to apologize for it, (you know who you are).**


	8. Chapter 8

**Hello! This was supposed to be up sooner. I actually thought I'd already posted this but it must have slipped my mind when I went and got hit by a car on Nov, 21st (that date is clear in my mind only because I had been walking home from watching Mockingjay part 1) the lady was texting. I, like the moron that I am, told her I was okay, so she drove off, then the adrenaline wore off... And the pain kicked in. My brother was with me and says it could have been worse, he says I made a weird spastic jump over the hood of the car, which is why I only hurt my arms, and the car only barely bumped my leg. He says if i hadn't done that, the lady would have totally run me over. my brother attributed my strange display of agility to the batman sweater i was wearing at the time. I attribute it to my strange luck, i have so many near death experiences that result in minor injuries that my friends call me Lucky (others say I'm jinxed). I got time off from work for a few days during which it hurt to even move, needless to say typing was also too painful to attempt. Then I went back to work and worked 60 hour weeks. Then, I got "let go" 2 days ago, and I might have cheered a bit and run home to my computer. which is when I realized chapter 8 wasn't posted and I had to search for it. I thought I'd have to rewrite it, but I found it, so rejoice!**

**Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. A fact that causes me considerably more pain than any car ever could.**

**Chapter 8: Hallucination?**

After beast boy left her room, raven let herself drop heavily onto her bed. She laid there for a while just staring at the ceiling, before realizing that the tray with tea was still on her bedside table, untouched. She sat up slowly and glanced nervously at the tea. It was still hot, as evidenced by the small plumes of steam that continued to swirl in the air above it. She eyed the cup for a few more seconds before reaching out with a hesitant hand. Her fingers curled around the handle and she brought the cup slowly to her lips.

She couldn't help being wary of the peace offering, the last time beast boy had made her tea, it had tasted horrible. He'd boiled the water with the herbs inside the pot for so long that the concoction had been unbearably bitter.

She finally took a sip of the tea and immediately relaxed. The tea was good, maybe a bit on the sweet side, but that was beast boy for you. Everything with extra sugar. Raven smiled as she slowly drank her tea in the silence of her dark room.

* * *

><p>In the common room, Beast Boy sat next to cyborg on the couch, holding a Gamestation controller. On his face was a look of pure concentration as his car zoomed ahead of cyborg's. his eyebrows were scrunched and his tongue was over his upper lip. He watched in obvious glee as his car crossed the finish line first.<p>

"I won! Woohoo! Go Beast Boy, go Beast Boy!" He jumped up and down a few times before flinging his controller at the couch. He was done playing for the moment, right then all he wanted was to go see Rae. Maybe she'd go on a walk with him, or fly with him to the city. Cyborg stood up to say something, Beast Boy figured he was going to ask for a rematch so he spoke hurriedly as he began to inch away slowly from the room. He was anxious to get out of there but he didn't want cyborg to know. "Okay, Cy. Beat ya! Gotta go!"

"Yo! What about my rematch?!"

Beast boy couldn't help but pause to smirk at the question he knew had been coming. With cyborg it was always rematches, until he either won or they got tired of the game. "Later Cy, okay?"

"Where are you going?" Beast Boy blinked. Cyborg's voice was accusing, and he couldn't help but feel that he was right to accuse him. He just didn't know of what.

"To check on Rae." Beast boy spoke slowly. He hesitated, wondering why saying it aloud made him so nervous.

"Why? You just did that like barely a half hour ago. Leave her alone B, and give me that rematch."

"Sorry Cy. You lost. Deal with it." He snapped, his nerves getting the better of him.

Cyborg just watched him silently as he stormed out of the room. He sighed, "little grass stain sure likes getting his butt kicked."

Beast boy grumbled as he overheard his friend, causing cyborg to chuckle slightly. Cyborg couldn't understand why Beast Boy always had to follow Raven around, making her blow his precious tower up. _Well, At least she would never do anything to my baby,_ he thought.

* * *

><p>Beast boy walked down the hall, still grumbling under his breath. Why did everyone always assume he'd make Raven mad? He didn't always behave annoyingly towards her, and they'd had several deep moments together, and even when Raven DID lose her temper with him, Beast Boy knew she wasn't truly angry, just frustrated.<p>

He knew that Raven understood his need for attention after she'd been annoyed a bit too much and exploded at him. She'd yelled for a bit and when she calmed down, she'd sighed and spoken in a soft voice that he'd never heard from her before, she'd sounded tired. "I know you need attention, I understand the reason behind that too. You feel abandoned by a lot of people and you're afraid that if you don't constantly have our attention, we'll forget about you." He had started to shake his head and open his mouth to deny what he also knew to be true, but she stopped him from doing so. "No don't interrupt. I just wanted to tell you, that even if you weren't pestering me every minute of everyday, I wouldn't forget about you. All of us care about you, but I need space. Okay? Just know that if you ever truly need anything, all you have to do is yell, I'll be there."

He remembered asking her why she'd gone all soft and where that beautifully heartwarming speech had come from. She, of course, had responded by donning a scowl and muttering something about how when she'd been yelling at him he'd started to cry. He had protested that he hadn't cried, but when he wiped at his eyes, his hand came away wet. He had blushed, while Raven stood there smirking at him.

Beast Boy chuckled at the memory.

"What?" A voice brought him abruptly out of his thoughts and it took everything he had to not transform into a turtle and hide in its shell. But he couldn't hold back a loud yelp.

"Gah!" He yelled, clutching at his chest. He looked up from the spot he'd been staring at on the floor, and his eyes met confused violet ones. "You nearly gave me a heart attack. Why would you do that?"

Her expression grew even more confused, and slightly annoyed. "You're standing outside my door."

"So? That's no reason to nearly scare me to death!" He was still clutching his chest and breathing heavily. He just wasn't sure if it was from the fright anymore.

"If I wanted to give you a heart attack, I wouldn't rely on scare tactics, I'd just give you one. Want to see?" Raven's voice was cold and menacing and it scared him badly.

"N-no. I... Um. So... What are you doing here?" He saw her features twitch slightly and he realized she was trying not to laugh. The only times she laughed with him around was never at his jokes, it was always at him.

"I live here. This," she gestured into her room which she was standing in front of, "is my room. What are _you_ doing here?"

_Oh_, "Heh," Beast Boy rubbed his neck nervously and tried to maintain eye contact. He failed horribly. He continued speaking at her boots. "I uh, was wondering if maybe you, er, that is maybe, you like might want to..." he paused and began to tap his index fingers together nervously, he shyly looked at her face again, "unless you don't want to. That's fine too."

He blushed when he saw Raven's raised eyebrow, and he knew he was making a fool of himself.

Raven stared at him for a few seconds before rubbing her hand across her face in exasperation. "What are you babbling about? Want to what, exactly?"

"Oh," _didn't I say what?_ "I just thought you might like to leave your room for a bit. You've been in there since we got back, actually, since before then, bc you got back before us." He felt stupid and cowardly, he'd wanted to ask her to maybe go on a walk with him. Or to fly with him.

"I've spent longer in here before. Now, leave me alone Beast Boy."

She made as if to close her door but Beast Boy rushed forward and gave her a strange look. He struggled for a bit before his head drooped and he nodded. "Um, okay, but if you need anything just yell, I'll be here." After a small pause, he added, "I'll hear you," and pointed at his ears, giving her his trademark grin. He looked as happy as ever, but Raven could sense waves of self-loathing and disappointment radiating off him.

"Sure thing Beast Boy, bye." She resisted the urge to run at him and envelop him in a hug, the urge to ask him what was wrong. She closed her door and leaned her head against it.

Beast Boy stood outside her door, staring at it once more. He let his shoulders slump as a small, sad sigh escaped his lips. After several moments of standing in silence, he finally began to walk away.

Inside her room, Raven heard him and guilt tore at her heart. She had no idea why she should feel guilt at all. She hadn't done anything that warranted guilt, had she? Was it something she was supposed to apologize for? She rubbed her temples, annoyed with herself for worrying so much about something she was sure she hadn't done.

"Seriously, I'm going all timid today, I need to meditate for a while."

Raven closed her eyes in the darkness of her room and assumed the lotus position. She floated slightly above her bed as she tried to relax herself. She chanted her mantra trying her hardest to reach her center but the calm evaded her. It was becoming more and more difficult to concentrate with every second that passed, but still she tried.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath..."

She paused in her chanting as she felt a familiar sharp pain go through her skull. She gritted her teeth at the pain and tried to ignore it, hoping it would go away. Sweat began to drip down her forehead and over her closed eyelids. She tried to take a deep breath and realized that concentrating wasn't the only thing she was having difficulty with. She couldn't breathe. She tried to calm herself down by continuing her mantra, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath, Met..."

"Hello, daughter."

Raven's eyes snapped wide open and she fell onto her bed heavily. Her eyes darted around her room, expecting to see flames licking at the walls, or the mark of Scath burning on her forehead reflected in her mirror, but everything was completely normal. She let out a nervous shuddering laugh.  
>"Beast Boy gets on my nerves so much I'm beginning to hallucinate."<p>

She got off her bed slowly and made her way to the door. Her room was making her uncomfortable and she didn't want to be in there. She took one last nervous look around her room, still waiting for the flames to burst forth at any moment. Then she stood staring at her door, before making her mind up and exiting through it as quickly as she could, not even bothering to open it. She glided noiselessly down the hallway, towards the common room, seeking out the company of her friends. One friend in particular. _Beast Boy,_ she thought, _Maybe I can get Beast Boy to tag along on a walk in the city._

><p><strong>Chapter 9: <strong>

**Big Bro Cy **_**or **_**Doctor Cyborg**

"Stupid! Stupid! _Stupid!_ She probably thinks I'm a moron!" Beast boy paused in his ranting to let out a small chuckle, "well, _more_ of a moron." He walked past Cyborg who was sitting on the couch watching some commercial about car parts. He began to pace about the room, still muttering to himself, while Cyborg followed him around the room with his eye. Beast Boy didn't seem to notice he was being watched and nearly jumped out of his skin when Cyborg cleared his throat loudly.

"Jeezus! What is up with everyone trying to kill me today!" He yelled much more loudly than even he thought he should have. Cyborg hadn't done anything wrong at all. It had been his own stupidity once again that put him in that embarrassing situation.

"Whoa! Calm down little dude! What's got you all worked up?" Cyborg sounded concerned, and Beast Boy gave a small sigh. He could never do anything right. First he was stupid enough to go and _try_ to ask Raven out, which he'd of course failed at, and then he'd been talking to himself like some lunatic in the middle of the common room, the one place where there was always

ure to be someone lounging about.

"Sorry, Cy. I'm just a bit jumpy. That's all." He looked at his feet for what was probably the hundredth time that day alone. He'd probably be seeing his feet in his dreams that night. He sighed again, this time longer, and Cyborg's concern for his friend grew. He stood up and walked to his side. He put a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you all right? You know you can tell me anything, right?" He eyed the green teen who only nodded in response. He decided to talk about something that might interest the low-spirited boy. It also would help if that something was also something he could tease him about. "So, how was Raven? You took a while checking up on her. She alright?"

Beast Boy's face scrunched up for a second but he responded in his normal way, with a goofy grin, and an upbeat voice, "She's fine. She's meditating, I think. It's just, I got distracted in the hallway before I went to check up on her and she scared the bejeezus out of me. I guess that put me in a bad mood. Heh."

Cyborg grinned, "What were you thinking about, huh?"

"Nothing important, just the usual Beast Boy stuff, you know, tofu, veggies, and um," _Raven. Wait! Don't say that out loud! Think! You said 'and.' _"and my moped."

"You don't have a moped."

"Not yet, well, not anymore, you know what I mean. I had one, I lost it, now I'm going to get another one."

"Good Luck with that."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're gonna need another job, and if I remember correctly your last job didn't go very well." Cyborg smirked down at him. Everyone loved to make fun of Beast Boy's last, and only, job.

"Yeah? well, you… _You_ ate my boss, so Ha!" Both Cyborg and Beast Boy were quiet for a moment at that and then they both let out a simultaneous shudder.

"Who the heck leaves their evil boss in the fridge and doesn't leave a note or something?"

"Dude, he probably screamed when you ate him and you didn't even notice."

"Hmm, you know, he might have…" Cyborg stared seriously at his robotic belly for a moment before smirking at Beast Boy. "Oh well, he was delicious."

"Gross! Okay, you know what? Let's stop talking about this before I puke. I'm going to go out and fly for a bit. Okay?" His smile dimmed a little as he turned towards the door.

"Uh, sure. Just don't stay out too late, or Robin will start worrying about where you are." Cyborg's tone became quiet as soon as he noticed the change in Beast Boy's face.

Beast Boy's smile was completely gone now that he was facing away from his friend and he responded without turning to look back at him. "Yeah, sure. I'm not gonna be gone long. I just need to stretch my wings a bit and clear my head."

"Have fun!" Cyborg yelled as the doors to the common room slid closed with a thud. He stood there frowning for a bit before he went back to his spot on the couch. He turned to look at the TV in surprise. It was no longer showing car part commercials. He stared blankly at the screen wondering what was wrong with his little buddy.

* * *

><p>When Raven got to the common room, she fully expected to see Beast Boy engaged in a video game battle with Cyborg, but she was surprised to find Cyborg sitting on the couch alone, staring at the TV. Cyborg immediately turned to her and watched her closely as she made her way around the couch to sit next to him. She ignored him and instead fixed her gaze on the screen in front of her, pretending to be interested in... Gardening gloves?<p>

"What are you watching?" Now she truly was interested. She watched as the lady on TV said that those were the best gloves she'd ever owned and would continue to buy from them.

"Uh, the ad channel, you know, where they try to get you to buy stuff you don't need." He said grinning at her, while rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.

"Hmm, you weren't thinking about getting the gloves, were you?" She asked curiously, hoping to get a no as a response.

"No, of course not."

"Good."

"So… what brings you to the common room to mix with us mere mortals? I thought you would still be meditating." He switched the channel, and jokingly pretended to gag when the screen showed a documentary on the making of tofu. "Tofu, gross."

"Speaking of Tofu, where's Beast Boy?"

"Hah! I knew it! I knew that's why you came in here! Smooth Rae, _real_ smooth." He chuckled, and then proceeded to mimic her in an exaggerated monotone, "'speaking of Tofu, where's beast boy' ha!"

"Well, as amusing as your imitation of me is, I need you to answer my question."

"_Need_, huh? This must be more serious than I thought. Lovers' quarrel?"

"Lovers qua-" she choked, "No! Um, no, we didn't argue. It's just that we spoke and he left a bit depressed. I just wanted to check on him. That's all."

Cyborg sighed, "I would have called you a liar, and teased you until you admitted your undying love for the green bean, but I did notice the little grass stain looked a bit deflated earlier."

Rae felt that strange guilty feeling return, but she squashed it back down. She had nothing to feel guilty about. "So, where is he?"

"Is there something going on that I should know about? You two can't stand each other, yet you've been checking up on each other all day." He paused with a thoughtful expression on the human half of his face. He appeared to come to some sort of conclusion because his human eye widened and even his robotic eye seemed to glow a little brighter. He looked excited, but settled down before speaking. "I was joking before, but you two _are_ like an old married couple." His voice was calm and collected, leaving no doubt in Raven's mind that Cyborg believed he was stating a fact.

Raven rolled her eyes at the idea. "Do you know where he is?"

"Said he was going to stretch his wings a bit." Cyborg watched Raven closely but she was good at remaining expressionless. "Look, he tried to act as if everything was fine. He thought I wouldn't notice but I always notice when something's bothering him. I mean, he's like my little brother, besides, it's kind of hard to miss the large drooping ears."

"Yeah," Cyborg was surprised to find a distracted Raven standing in front of him. He'd never seen that look on her face before. He realized something beside Beast Boy was on her mind, and it was bothering her.

"You okay?"

"yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking."

Cyborg smirked at the parallels this conversation was taking to the one with Beast Boy. "What about?"

"Nothing important, at least I don't think it is." She looked thoughtfully up at the man she considered an older brother. "I've just been a little stressed after what happened with Mumbo and I had difficulty meditating. That's all."

"Are you sure it's not something more serious? You know you can tell me anything, right?" He said for the second time that night.

"Yes, I know. Thank you. If I think its something dangerous, I'll tell you. I just don't want to bother you with my crazy, stress induced hallucinations."

"It's not a bother." Cyborg grimaced as Raven nodded at him before phasing through the wall in the same direction he'd seen Beast Boy disappear. He hadn't used the word dangerous, Raven had. Which meant she was worried about something that could potentially pose a threat to her or someone else. His expression lightened up when he analyzed her words further, she'd said if she thought it was dangerous she'd talk to him about it. That was something at least.

Feeling reassured, Cyborg clicked through the channels at a rapid pace. Stopping on a channel that looked promising. "Hmm, Barbeque ribs." He watched intently as they showed how to prepare various types of barbeque sauces.

><p>It was only a few minutes later that Cyborg noticed Robin walking towards the kitchen lost in his thoughts. He jumped and struck a defensive pose, when Cyborg called out his name. When he realized it was just Cyborg, he relaxed his stance and stood awkwardly, he looked as though he wanted to talk but wasn't sure if he should say something or not. Cyborg let out a long breath and rubbed his face with a large robotic hand, before motioning for the masked boy to sit on the couch beside him. He listened intently as Robin talked about his feelings for Starfire while still being completely unable to admit he had any in the first place.<p>

_'Instead of Big Bro Cy, I should be Dr. Cyborg, Psychiatrist for emotionally constipated teen heroes,' _he thought, wondering how long it would take after Robin left for Starfire to walk in through the same door and start talking about some issue or other. It would probably involve her relationship with robin or maybe something Silkie ate that he wasn't supposed to have eaten. "Doctor Cyborg," he mumbled under his breath.

"You say something?"

"No. Is that all you wanted to talk about."

"Yeah, thanks. Getting all that off my chest really helped. I'm feeling great. I'll be in the training room if something comes up."

"Cool."

Robin smirked as Starfire walked in holding a sick looking Silkie. "Well, see ya _doctor Cyborg._"

Cyborg followed Robin's line of sight and groaned audibly, "Not _that_ kind of doctor!" He turned around only to find that Robin had disappeared without a sound. He waved a fist in the air desperately yelling down the hallway, "Come back here you coward!"

"Friend? I was wondering if you would be so kind as to help me figure out what has given my poor little bumgorf the aches of the belly. You will help me, yes?"

"Of course Star," he let out his longest sigh yet and muttered dejectedly, "Doctor Cyborg is in."
