Playing Charades

Chapter one: False intentions

It was just an ordinary day in the Titan tower. The sun rose at exactly 7:16am and set off the alarm clocks in every bedroom. Raven had already been awake for at least an hour now, and had been meditating ever since. She sighed, feeling the fact that her meditation had gone to waste because the blaring alarm shocked all of her senses. "Time to start another fabulous day." she remarked sarcastically.

She went down to the main room and plopped down on the rounded leather couch. She let her thoughts wander until she realized somebody was watching her. She spun around, ready to accuse the person of being a stalker, that is, until she saw that it was merely Beastboy, the object of her few affections. "Can I help you?" she asked while cocking a thin purple eyebrow. Beastboy smiled goofily, as he usually did. Raven surprised herself by willing to smile back. The green boy rose his eyebrows in question. Rubbing his chin in exaggerated thought he asked teasingly, "Is the Raven actually smiling? Or am I imagining things?"

Raven dropped the smile into a tiny smirk. "Neither, you just forgot to take your pills." "Ha, ha, very funny Raven." Beastboy continued his act by producing a perfect fake pout upon his green face. "But you're wrong because I know for sure that you think I'm funny and irresistible." "What are you talking about?" Raven asked putting up her hood, "You don't know anyth…" She was interrupted by Robin entering the room, quickly fallowed by Starfire and Cyborg. Beastboy couldn't help but giggle, Raven was helpless because if she spoke, the whole team would figure out their previous conversation, and BB knew more than anything that Raven didn't want that.

Raven glared over at him, her mouth forming something along the lines of "You won, for now anyway." Beastboy tried to look smooth, as if he was James Bond, but he just burst out laughing instead. Raven was thankful her hood was up or everyone else would've seen her massive blush. Robin stopped his jabbering on about missions and training to glare at Beastboy. "Anything you wanna share?" the boy wonder asked, sounding like an angry teacher with an interrupted lecture. Raven scowled and her eyes began to glow beneath her hood. "Nope!" Beastboy squeaked, not sure if he was more afraid of Raven or Robin.

'Raven, defiantly Raven'

"Is everyone done with breakfast?" Now Robin sounded like a concerned mother, he always wanted to be a mature leader, but Raven thought he was simply going too far, although she never mentioned it to anybody. "Yes." Cyborg and Beastboy replied sounding like they were six years old. Raven was pretty sure Robin was rolling his eyes, but with the mask, his expressions were invisible. "Whatever guys. We're gonna start training in one hour. Instead of the course or targets, we'll have a small tourdament. Two pairs of two will fight then, the winners will fight, and the winner of that will fight me." Raven rolled her eyes from beneath her hood. No matter how mature Robin attempted to be, he was ever cocky, making him seem childish in Raven's eyes. But the cloaked her girl couldn't help but notice how Starfire saw him. The poor girl saw him as a prince, an idol, perhaps a god. 'But she could do so much better. What a shame. Besides, he's too busy gloating to notice.' "Any questions?" Although, coming from Robin, it sounded more like a demand than an inquiry. Beastboy put on a goofy smile and his six year old voice. "When will we find out our partners?" Cyborg snickered but Robin remained stern. "When we get to the training field." Raven felt Beastboy peeking at her intently, but she couldn't understand why.

An hour later…

The whole team had flown/walked down to the training field. "Okay, let's see here…. Cyborg you'll be with…. Starfire and…" Raven inwardly groaned, knowing now she'd be paired up with Beastboy. Just as the thought hit her, the teen approached. 'Speak of the devil… or grass stain. Whatever.' "Hey Rae, looks like we're paired up." A mischievous look filled the teen's eyes as he looked her up and down joking-ly. "Don't even think about it, you sicko." Beastboy pouted. "Beastboy and Raven, you guys will fight first, Raven please don't kill him." "I'll try my best but I can't promise you anything." Cyborg whooped loudly as the two began to fight.

"I'll go easy on you Ravy, don't worry." Raven snickered. "I'm not, and don't worry about me, you should be worried about how badly you'll be crying." Beastboy smiled as if she'd told a funny joke. "Whatever you say Ravy." "Don't…call…me…RAVY!" Raven cried as she charged at him, blasting black energy through her hands. Beastboy easily dodged the blasts and turned into a bull. The animal scraped its hoof across the dirt and charged. Raven felt like she'd been electrified as a burst of energy pounded through her veins and she charged right into the bull smashing him head on. She was stronger and managed to flip him over. Beastboy returned to human form as Raven climbed on top of him, ready to finish this dumb fight.

She noticed Beastboy's face was bright red. 'Wow, he's so afraid of me…'

That was the thought until Raven subconsciously realized she was straddling Beastboy.

'No, no! This was not my intention at all!'

Yet she couldn't find the will to get off him.
