Oh my gosh, people actually like this? Thank you SO much to everyone who followed, favorited, and especially to LoveAgain21 for your review. It truly made me happy :)

So here's the second lil bit!

***Quick note, Cyborg is just Cy and Beast Boy is just Beast for the sake of the AU theme. Also I added Speedy and Kid Flash who is just Flash; I label them as young twins and I recognize they aren't, but it's my story so shove off :)***

Also if Beast Boy sounds off...he's suppose to.

Otherwise, please read and continue to kind of like it!

"RISE AND SHINE BUDDY, TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!"

The creature in the bed burrowed deeper under his blankets, praying that this nightmare would end, but the other boy was insistent on getting him up. He pulled back the flap to let in the daylight, earning a groan from the covers, and ran to jump on the bed with a wide grin.

"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!"

"Alright Speedy, I'm up! Hey, cut it out! I'M UP!" The older boy growled, and the younger chuckled and ran away quickly, fearing the wrath the older boy had in the morning. He sat up and stretched, scratching his side before rubbing his eyes. The sun poured in on him and he soaked it in for a minute before standing in his "bed". He didn't remember falling asleep, but remembering the party from the night before drew a light smile across his cheeks.

He walked outside his tent, not bothering to throw on a shirt, and walked over to a makeshift table and sat down with his brothers. The two youngest twins, Speedy and Flash, were getting ready to wake up their older older brother, and he did not want to be there when it happened. Cy, the oldest, was cooking something over the fire and placed it on a plate of silver before handing it to him.

He looked down at his food and snarled, throwing a sausage at Cy's head and shouting, "You know I don't eat meat Cy! What the hell!"

"I honestly thought you'd be too tired to notice Beast," The older boy chuckled.

Beast crossed his arms and began picking at the minimal vegetation on the platter when he heard yelling from the other tent.

"Looks like we'll be having the twins cooked up too," Cy sighed. "Honestly, Robin can be worse than you sometimes."

Beast shrugged and polished off the vegetables and took the twins' portions knowing they wouldn't touch them before slithering back into his tent. He looked through his partially clean clothes and managed to find a pair of black pants and a matching shirt that didn't secrete his...unique smell.

Turning back to his four brothers, he noticed Robin finally awake, just barely dealing with the twins, and Cy finishing up his cooking. Beast cautiously walked over to Robin and sat down beside him, waiting as patiently as he could for his older brother to finish eating.

"Is there something I can help you with, Garfield?" Robin spat, clearly pissed at the early morning intrusion, though never turned to even acknowledge his younger sibling.

Beast wrinkled his nose. "Only mom and dad can...could call me Garfield!"

He sighed, "What do you want, Beast?"

Beast looked down at his hands and noticed the other three listening in. "Uhhh can I talk to you somewhere...privately?"

Robin glanced at Beast and nodded, pushing the rest of his food away. "My tent. I need to get ready."

Beast followed his brother, who closed and sealed the tent behind them. It was much cooler in there and easier for Beast to concentrate, though he was still unnerved. Robin gave him space and began to get changed, clearly aching from the previous night as much, if not more than Beast was.

"I'm having second thoughts about this, Robin," Beast said slowly.

Robin paused what he was doing and raised an eyebrow at him. "Second thoughts? About what?"

"Well...this is the first time I'll be leading just you guys by myself with no guidance from mom and dad, and it's just kind of nerve-wracking...what if I screw up? What if I get one of the twins, or Cy, or you killed? I already got..." He paused and took a deep breath. "I could never live with more pain Robin."

Robin walked over and set a firm hand on Beast's shoulder, looking him straight in the eye through his mask. "I know you're scared, hell I was scared the first time I led. But with mom and dad...out of the picture, you need to step up for the twins, as well as for the memory of our parents. We can't expect to sleep right at night unless we pull this off right, got it?"

Beast nodded and turned to go, but asked, "It's just going to be the heir, right? No one else is going to get hurt because of us?"

Robin smiled and clapped his back, "You know we don't hurt people. We just do what we can to get along."

Beast left the tent to find Cy going over the escape plan with the twins. He glanced at Beast, who gave him a nod, and Cy grabbed the two youngsters by their shoulders.

"Are you idiots ready to make some serious meat?"

Flash and Speedy beamed excitedly before dashing off into the woods. Beast was about to follow when Cy stopped him.

"Hey Beast, have you been feeling alright lately?" Cy asked slowly.

"What do you mean? I'm fine," Beast said, stepping away from his brother.

Cy watched him go and Robin walked up next to him.

"I've been noticing it too."

"He won't even crack the lame jokes, man."

Robin sighed. "He takes the blame for mom and dad on himself."

Cy stiffened; this wasn't his favorite topic. "He shouldn't. We all contributed."

"Try telling that to the one who first introduced them."

The two shrugged off memories they had sworn to forget and trudged on behind Beast and the two smaller boys. They left their supplies hidden in the trees, at the summit of a mountain overlooking a small kingdom.

Woo excitement!

Tell me your thoughts, suggestions, or just favorite/follow! It really means a lot that people don't think is as terrible as I do...

Till next time dearies.
