Chapter 2
"Another Day Another Pain"
The sun has finally come up once again in Jump City. The city was normal with its hustle and bustle and the tower was soon to be normal, or so it seemed. Raven was for the first time happy to see the sun come up. Since it was day time, she could cut the act of being Beast Boy. She replaced her clothing with her own, discolored her hair and arranged it to her fashion. She jumped out of the bed and entered the hallway, but the moment she did, she was ambushed.
Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin surrounded her, quickly slapping on Beast Boy's cloths and arranged her hair. She looked at herself and instead of yelling, she questioned them.
"Um, let me refresh your brains. Beast Boy no longer thinks he's me anymore." Raven implored, but Cyborg was the first one to speak.
"But Beast Boy's not up yet. . ." Before Cyborg could finish, Raven interrupted.
"He's just being lazy. His brain is probably scrambling back to the scrambled brain he used to have." Raven said with a smirk.
"But our fellow Beast Boy does not sleep to this hour. He is usually what you call "A Morning Bird"." Starfire implored, but Raven was still being stubborn.
"Listen, you switched the diaries last nigh, so he couldn't have read it. Now, if he was still acting like me, he would be up right . . ." Suddenly, the team heard a door from above open and someone walking across the hall.
"Now." Raven said with her finger loose towards the ground. The team quickly raced to the living room before Beast Boy could get there. They were there on time, but were forced Raven on the stove.
"Cook Raven cook! Beast Boy usually has a full meal for all of us by the time you get here!" Cyborg yelled. Starfire slammed the nightmare block of a food onto the countertop as Raven hesitated. But she hurried up when she heard the shower starting up. She grabbed a hunk of tofu and slammed it on the frying pan. In about five minutes, Raven made a grotesque, but convincing lunch as the team sat around the table right when Beast Boy entered in.
Beast Boy looked a little paler then usual as he scowled towards Raven. His look was looking more like Raven as she pretended to smile. In the background, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg held up a sign that said "OFFER HIM BREAKFAST!" This was very demeaning for Raven, but she had to give it a try.
"Um, would you like breakfast Be . . . Ur . . . Raven?" The names were almost mixed up, but Beast Boy rolled his eyes.
"Accepting breakfast from a guy that can't get my name right, how inviting." The insult was just as good as Raven's and this angered Raven a bit. Beast Boy began digging into the cupboards and pulled out her tea. Raven was a bit irritated with him messing with her tea, but the Titans were telling her to keep pushing it. She sighed and held the pan forward.
"C'mon, it's tofutastic." She said with a groan, but Beast Boy didn't respond until the tea was done.
"If it's so tofutastic then why don't you eat it?" Beast Boy said. Raven glared towards him, but the team nodded. She was frightened by the look of the white blob called tofu. She could almost imagine it with teeth and eyes. She gulped hard and took a chunk off the tofu eggs, tossing it into her mouth. After her body twisted intensely with over exaggeration, she swallowed it and cracked another horrible smile.
"See, delicious." She said with a quiver. Beast Boy then turned around with a grumble. He then grabbed a piece of tofu and tossed it in his mouth.
"There, happy?" Beast Boy didn't quiver a bit, no fowl taste ran threw his mouth.
"Alright, he's changing back! Let's keep this up and we'll have this problem fixed in no time." Robin whispered as they went about their own business. Raven took a look at the tofu and wondered.
"No, he's not changing back." Raven grabbed another piece of tofu and tossed it in her mouth, savoring the piece with a curious look written on her face.
"Hm, not bad." She said to herself. She then ran over to Starfire and spited at her.
"Didn't I tell you to switch the diaries last night!? Now I have to be Mr. Vegetarian for another day!" She yelled in a low tone. Starfire was defending herself strongly.
"But I did what you asked. I do not know how he retrieved it again." Starfire said. Raven didn't believe Starfire for a second, but knowing she never had a history of lying, she stopped prosecuting Starfire. Before she could think of other possibilities, Cyborg had to step in.
"Hey Beast Boooooy, ya wanna play?" Cyborg yelled with a chuckle. Raven growled as she stormed away.
"No!" She yelled strictly, but something Beast Boy said angered her.
"What? Is the mighty green warrior all out of steam?" Beast Boy said. Raven blew off some smoke and headed for the couch.
"Fine!" She landed on the couch and snatched the other controller. They were playing some kind of fighting came with robots in it. Raven was controlling a big green one and Cyborg was controlling a big blue one. Cyborg jolted forward, grabbed Raven's robot, and smashed it to the ground. The screen flashed "CYBORG WINS!" Cyborg had to at least make a fake cheer, but saw that Raven wasn't even touching the controllers.
"There, I played." Raven tossed the controller to the ground and headed out.
"What's wrong? I thought you were at least playing?" Beast Boy said, but Raven snorted back.
"I was." She said, but Beast Boy said something that stopped her.
"Well I didn't see you playing, I just saw you standing there like an idiot."
"YOU WANNA SEE ME PLAY THEN FINE!" She jumped to the couch, slammed her body onto the cushions and began to play. This time, she was playing with surprising techniques. She was even surprising herself as she bashed Cyborg's robot to the ground and threw him across the screen. Robin and Starfire were interested in the fight, watching Cyborg and Raven squabble with each other. Even Beast Boy was a bit interested.
Ducking to the left, dodging to the right, Raven was owning Cyborg in the game with ease. Once she was finally hit, Raven burst with anger as she grabbed Cyborg, threw him in the air, and broke his robot in half. The screen flashed "BEAST BOY WINS!" Cyborg was surprised to the fullest as Raven rose to the air.
"YOU HAPPY!? I WON!" Her cheers were making her emotions all jumbled, but Beast Boy just rolled his eyes once again and exited. Raven then looked at herself and wondered. All those times she watched Beast Boy play video games in boredom, she actually learned from his own techniques, but her trance was interrupted by a pat on the back.
"Didn't know you had it in ya girl." Cyborg said as Starfire clapped her hands.
"Yes, you were most excellent in the battling of the bots!" She congratulated, but Raven snorted.
"I don't play games, I just got lucky." She was ready to head to Beast Boy's room, but the tower started to shoot out it's alarm.
"Trouble! TITAN'S! MOVE!" Without even realizing the situation Raven and Beast Boy was in, they headed for the danger that was in town square. Raven thought of the embarrassment that foretold this battle.
In the middle of town, the civilians were being tormented by the villainous, but amateur Control Freak as he released his minions of video game creatures. Control Freak was in the middle of everything with a roar of laughter as he held up his remote.
"Yes! Fear the awesome might of imagination! Behold all the creatures this world has released in Cyberspace!" He pressed his remote again and released the same robot that was in the Titan's game. From what seemed like out of nowhere, a boomerang came rushing in and hitting Control Freak's hand. He almost lost hold of the remote, but grabbed it again.
"You used up your last lives Control Freak, so I suggest you stand down!" Robin hollered as the team prepared for battle.
"Ah! The Teen Titans! I should have . . ." Control Freak was rendered with confusion as he looked at Beast Boy and Raven. Then, he bawled out with laughter.
"What!? Did you get your wardrobes mixed up! And your barbor! BWA HA HA HA HA!" The tubby villain was now rolling on the ground with laughter. Raven was fuelling up with rage, but Robin back her up.
"You can't use your powers or Beast Boy will find out!" Robin whispered. Control Freak got up from the ground and whipped a tear from his face.
"Okay, time to act serious . . . Now Tita . . . Phhhht . . . Nananow Tita . . . BWA HA HA HA HA! I'M SORRY! IT'S JUST TOO FUNNY! BWA HA HA HA HA!" Raven was about to pop the lard of fat she was so angry, but Beast Boy made the first move with a loud cry.
"AZERATH METRION ZYNTHOS!" His yell did nothing more then embarrass himself. Not even the tumbleweed would roll by the awkward silence.
"While, you two must of switch brains toWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Suddenly, a black Raven shot out of Beast Boy's back and covered the panicking Control Freak. The team was surprised to the fullest, but saw that Raven was controlling it from behind. Control Freak jumped up and saw most of his forces crushed.
"Hmph! I don't want to know how that happened, but I know what's going to happen!" Control Freak flung his controller forward and pressed a few buttons, surrounding the Titans with many beasts. Raven was now afraid, she couldn't use her powers to defend herself or Beast Boy would go berserk! The monsters pounced, giving her no chance to think.
"TITAN'S! GO!"
