-1A chilly wind blew through the barren streets of Jump City, a lone figure walked down the deserted street mumbling curses. The figure walked under a street light and lit up his features, Black hooded sweatshirt, Black pants and a pair of purple hi-tops, a dark green book bag. The shaggy green hair hung just short of the boys green eyes. The figure walked beside a old brick wall and slowly came to a stop near a gateway of the old cemetery, leaning on the stone pillar he finally voiced his problems in a clear tongue.
"Stupid arcade, only a fifty dollar limit my ass. Some people want to play for a lot longer stinking pile of crap place, I will be back and I will set the High-score." Beast boy rambled to the thin air.
"I want to play video games, who is with me!" Beast boy stood up and yelled into the graveyard not expecting a answer.
"What am I doing yelling at some dead people, it's not like they did anything to get me mad." Beast boy sighed and leaned on the wall.
"Damn right we didn't." a voice spoke up.
Beast boy jumped and hid behind the wall, quickly scanning the area left and right seeing nobody. The green changeling laughed, "I played too many video games my mind is playing tricks on me."
"You know I find that a little offensive that I'm in your mind." the voice piped up again.
Beast boy looked up and down the street again, beginning to feel a little scared until he felt a breath on the back of his neck.
"BOO!" the voice yelled.
Beast boy screamed and jumped in the air changing into a green cat, landing on the wall with the hair stuck out in all directions. The green cat looked around to see a young girl laying in the grass of the graveyard laughing. Beast boy shifted back into his normal self and sat on the wall watching the girl with a scowl on his face, the girl slowly calmed down and looked up at the titan and smiled.
The girl at around the age of sixteen wore a old red hooded sweatshirt and a long grey skirt, she had on a old beaten pair of army boots and a pair of old work gloves covered her hands. Her black hair was long on the sides and made into a pair of pony tails that framed her face, a longer ponytail was in the back. When she looked up at Beast boy her eyes were pure white.
"Well I see you don't find it as funny as I do." The girl said to Beast boy.
"Not at all, but I got to give you credit that it was a good trick." Beast boy smiled the girl smiled back. "Well thank you for the good scare, wait what are you doing out here in a graveyard?"
"Oh, me.. I'm just …well… um… I don't know." The girl replied.
"Well that helps." Beast boy said hopping off the wall and reaching out a hand to the girl. "Maybe I can help you, people call me Beast boy, what's your name?"
"Olwen." the girl said getting up not taking his hand. "Olwen Ingarfield, nice to meet you Beast boy."
"By the way you were just lucky when you scared me, I'm actually quite brave." Beast boy said puffing out his chest.
"Really… well that persons hand your stepping on might disagree." Olwen said pointing at the ground.
Beast boy gave a shrill shriek and jumped on a nearby tombstone, Olwen began laughing again. Beast boy got down off the stone and started to brush off imaginary dirt, trying to save any pride he could.
"Well you know what this means." Beast boy said calmly. Olwen shook her head. "It means war."
Beast boy flipped the book bag off his back and unzipped it and tossed Olwen a small squirt gun. Beast boy grabbed a slightly larger one from the bag and pumped it.
"Squirt pistols at dawn!" Beast boy announced. Olwen raised her eyebrow and looked up at the night sky. The green boy coughed. "squirt pistols at midnight?"
In the center path Beast boy stood back too to a girl that stood his height, Both smiled wickedly. They took ten paces and spun around and fired, Olwen dove to the right and behind a gravestone, Beast boy dove to his left. Diving between gravestones the two 'shot' at each other, finally after two hours they sat on a bench exhausted. Breathing deeply Beast boy looked over at Olwen and noticed she wasn't breathing as hard as him. Beast boy was looking at the girl beside him and noticed her extremely pale skin in the moonlight, when his communicator started beeping. The green boy took it out and opened the cover to see a picture of Cyborg looking back.
"You better get your green butt home, or your going to have to face the defences when you land on the island, string bean." Cyborg joked over the communicator.
"I'm on my way home. Thanks for warning me Cy." Beast boy smiled.
"No problem, BB. Cyborg out."
Beast boy looked over at Olwen and smiled. "Well it was fun, maybe we can do this another time my curfew is up and I got to get going."
"It was nice meeting you BB, and yes lets do this again." Olwen smiled and handed Beast boy back his squirt gun.
Beast boy tossed the toy into the back pack and quickly shifted into a bird and flew off into the night sky.
Olwen watched the bird circle a few times before flying away, she turned and walked further into the graveyard. A few minutes later Beast boy landed on the of the infamous tower, he yawned as he opened the door to inside. "Well I guess the night wasn't a total loss."
Back at the graveyard Olwen walked down the path to a large crypt, the marble was badly covered in moss and vines. She walked up to the heavy wooden doors and wiped the plaque that was imbedded into the beams. The bronze old and green now in the moonlight read "Ingarfield", the girl gave a slight smile and pushed the doors open. She walked down a small flight of stairs grabbing a torch on the wall. Olwen sighed as she looked at the burnt out torch, with a snap of her fingers the torch burst into flames.
"There we go, I really hate it when I fall down here." Olwen said talking aloud.
She continued down the stone stairs to a large wooden door, she pushed it open with her free hand and sighed.
"I should really dust down here, Mom and Dad don't lift a boney finger." Olwen smiled at her small joke.
Olwen passed by two badly beaten caskets, these ones being her grandparents , followed by two more caskets who she waved to as "Hi Mom, Hi Dad.". The final casket in the crypt she casually walked up to and hopping up on the cover dangled her feet over the edge looking at her family all dead, Her family all taken a long time ago. Olwen laid down on the casket she was sitting on and fell asleep.
Beast boy walked down to the common room whistling a happy tune. When he arrived he looked around noticing Cyborg was sitting on the couch watching a car show waiting on the changeling to get back. Beast boy walked up and tapped him on the shoulder getting the larger boys attention.
"Dude you can turn on the security now I'm home." Beast boy smiled and walked to the kitchen still whistling.
"Ok, what are you so happy about anyways?" Cyborg said getting up stretching.
"I just had a fun night out, we don't get many chances when crime is slow so I really enjoyed myself." Beast boy replied digging out some lettuce and soy cheese out of the fridge.
"I know what you mean, so any ladies fall under the changeling charm?" Cyborg laughed.
"Actually I did have some fun with a girl." Beast boy said thinking, looking and seeing a small smirk on Cyborg's face. "Not that kind of fun."
Cyborg laughed and walked over and patted the smaller boy on the shoulder. "I know just teasing. So what is the girls name and what did ya'll do."
"Oh …um… crap I can't remember, we didn't do anything crazy just some childish fun." Beast boy answered taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Childish fun?"
"Yea, she scared the crap out of me and that's how we met. Then we had a squirt gun fight in the old graveyard and I totally won but we both ran out of water at about the same time. We were going all Matrix like jumping between graves dodging shots firing shots. I snuck up on her and she started running away and ran behind a tree… why are you looking at me like that?" Beast boy looked at his metallic friend.
"When you said childish fun, you mean it to the word who carries squirt guns with them?" Cyborg tapped his hand on the counter, seeing his green friend blush. "You carry squirt guns with you."
"Yes, well not all the time." Beast boy protested. "Just most of the time I go out on the town. You never know when a squirt gun can be useful."
Cyborg was laughing when the doors opened to reveal Raven with a look that could kill many small and furry animals on her face. Raven walked over to a cabinet silently grabbed a pot and walked back behind the laughing Cyborg. A quick smack Cyborg was rubbing the back of his head and was turned to the dark titan.
"Do you know what time it is? And do you know how loud you are?" Raven asked replacing the now bent pot.
"It's 1:30 am, and no I'm sorry." Cyborg apologized. "It's just BB here was telling me of his 'adventure' tonight. He sure knows how to treat the ladies." Cyborg started laughing again but quickly stopped looking at Raven who didn't look amused.
"All I know is that you reek Beast boy." Raven holding her nose as she walked away and back down the hall to her room.
The two friends watched as the dark girl left with confused looks on their faces. Beast boy lifted his arm and smelled. "The sweet smell of Beast boy." He grinned.
"You don't stink to me, or not more than usual. Raven must be losing her mind or something." Cyborg sniffed the air. "Oh well, I got to put up the defences and I'm hitting the sack good night BB." He said walking away.
Beast boy shrugged and headed to bed himself, after a reassurance smell under his arms. "Raven must be losing it, oh well I'll take a shower in the morning."
Raven sat on the edge of her bed deep in thought, trying to recall the smell.
"I know Beast boy's smell, kind of hard to miss the boy smells like most of the animal kingdom… bad." Raven leaned back on the bed looking up at her ceiling. "It sort of smelled like the spell remnants on him but it smelled sort of like brimstone."
"maybe it was…" a voice echoed in her head.
"It can't be Beast boy can barely read comic books he wouldn't be able to cast any kind of spells, and only dark magic spells leave a brimstone smell."
"how else would he smell like that?"
"I don't know, it's late I'll research it in the morning." Raven said yawning. She rolled over in her bed and fell into a uneasy sleep.
