A/N: Told you I'd be back. As I've said in the previous chap, this is Bbrae. And also a bit TerraXBeast Boy. What is that even called?

Anyway, thank you, er, who reviewed? *Checks* No one. How am I supposed to know what you wanna read if no one comments?

04. Animal Instincts
The Beast Within

Protect her.

The thought ran through his head, over and over again.

Protect her.

Protect her.

Protect her.

Protect her.

Protect her.

He growled and leapt at the attackers. The big blue one slammed him in the face with a punch that threw him into a wall, but he bounced right back. The weird looking green one tried to kick him. He gave him an uppercut and jumped for the big blue one again. The green one leaped on him, but he threw him off, leaving him with the blue one. They traded blows, fast enough to be a blur, fast enough he hardly saw them and only fought on out of instinct.

Something is wrong. The voice cut through the haze like claws. He finished the blue one of with a quick uppercut, sending him skittering across the water surface. His instincts urged him to check on the purple one, to see if something was wrong.

No!

The orange one, the one who looked a bit like the purple one, was hovering above her. He gave a roar and leapt for her.

Protect the purple one.

05. That Annoying Heart-Shaped Box
JUst before Beast Boy gave Terra the box

Beast Boy thought no one else knew about the box yet.

Raven knew, though. Beast Boy had spent enough nights, cooped up in the dump he called a bedroom, for her not to notice. That, and the box he had given her.

She kept glancing at the empty spot where it used to be, before just looking at it made her powers go haywire and she had to dump it. Any extreme emotion, like love, or hate, made her unstable, and probably endangering the city.

Until she could fully control them, be able to feel, to love, without blowing something up, she could not accept it.

She had to keep her feelings on a tight leash, or else she might hurt someone, even, no especially the people she loved.

She simply couldn't risk it, no matter how much she wanted to.

So, she reminded herself, listening to Beast Boy's door slide open, she had no right to be jealous of Terra. Especially for something she had refused.

06. Protection
Things Change

She hadn't meant for him to see her that day.

But she heard that the Titans were battling there, and she had to make sure he was safe. Sure, she knew he could take care of himself, but she couldn't risk him getting hurt. She'd hurt him enough.

But when the green changeling had turned for the slightest second, she knew she was caught. Before he could yell her name, she had run off, hiding among the crowd.

She had gotten good at that. Running.

So when he had tracked her to her new school, she had to pretend she didn't know him. even when he threw mud at her face, she had forced herself not to block it. She could not hurt him again.

She did go on following him though. It was a moral obligation for her: to protect him from further harm. And maybe beyond that.

But she couldn't go back into his life. He had to move on, and she would only hurt him more.

She shadowed him to the pie shop, the fairground, anywhere she had been with him. When she had seen him beat the crap out of Slade, for her, she knew he was going to be alright. Maybe.

And maybe, not trying to protect him was the best way to protect him.

A/N: Okay, maybe drabbles isn't really my thing. Animal Instincts is sort of classic, and I screwed up bad. Sorry all bbrae people. Excluding me. I totally deserved it. Anyway, as I've said, tell me what you wanna see written, and I'll do it.

…What did you think of it?

Also: I was originally planning to do the fight scene between Raven and Terra in Aftershock Pt1, but I kinda thought it would be weird to change their lines just to fit into a drabble.

Reviews are nice.

Update: due to a reveiw (finally!), it has been brought to my attention promblems with Animal Instincts. Who is who is not clear. So here it is, the blue one is Cyborg, the green one Robin, orange Star, and purple Raven.

Also, I know it's really bad, actually. My worse yet. Not that I've written a lot. I realize Beast Boy's thinking would not be so coherent, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Also tell me if you want me to do that extra drabble.

Final thing:give me ideas, request. I will try to think, but kinda running our already. :/
