Chapter 3,
"Now remember Starfire, anytime Robin makes you feel like crying again, just threaten to send that video to the H.I.V.E., Slade, and Batman." Twyla said and Starfire had a confused look on her face.
"Remind me, why I should send the video to those people?" Starfire asked and Raven gave a small smile.
"Because Starfire, you actually made Robin cry and Robin hates to show weakness. And who would Robin hate to be weak in front of? Answer; our main enemy, his arch nemesis, and the man who taught him to be strong. It would be very embarrassing for him if they saw him weak." Raven explained and Starfire blinked.
"This sounds like a trick that Blackfire would use to controls her soldiers." Starfire said and Twyla thought about this.
"True, but it's for when Robin makes you cry. You won't actually send the video because you care about Robin, but the threat alone is enough to remind him of the power you have." Twyla said and Starfire thought about this and smiled.
"Ok, so shall we walk in like we normally do or with our arms crossed and upset looks on our faces?" Starfire asked and Raven looked at them.
"Let's watch the boys fear us and make Robin apologize." Raven said so once again the girls walked into the OPs room with arms crossed and they glared at Robin. Robin swallowed hard and slowly approached the angry women.
"Starfire I-" Robin started but he stopped when Starfire held her hand up. Then Twyla pointed to Cyborg and Raven points at Beast Boy and both girls pointed to the empty spaces next to Robin. When both boys joined their leader, Starfire lowered her hand and stared at the masked boy.
"I, uh... I just want to say... that we are really sorry for upsetting you Starfire. We didn't mean to make you cry and... I'm... I'm sorry." Robin said and Starfire gave a small nod and looked Twyla who glared at Cyborg.
"Sorry." Cyborg said and Raven glared at Beast Boy.
"Yeah, sorry." Beast Boy whispered as his ears drooped. Seeing this made Raven's features soften for a moment, before returning to her usual emotionless self. Twyla looked at Starfire grabbed the front of Robin's uniform with one fist, pulled him into the air and kissed him. Twyla laughed and Raven smiled for a moment and Beast Boy saw this.
"Raven did you just-"
"No." Raven said as she pushed past the green boy. She sat down on the couch, picked up her book and proceeded to read.
"You smiled when Starfire kissed Robin." Beast Boy said in bewilderment.
"I don't smile, Beast Boy." Raven said simply and Beast Boy rolled his eyes and took her book out of her hands.
"Hey!" Raven said annoyed, and Twyla looked over at them.
"You can deny it all you want, but you smiled when you saw them kiss, And that means that you either like their relationship or you like relationships in general, or maybe you like the idea of kissing or maybe it's a mix of these reasons." Beast Boy babbled on and Raven rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"You're being ridiculous, Beast Boy. Now give me back my book." Raven said in a bored tone and Beast Boy grinned.
"Well, miss never smiles. Why don't I hold onto this book until you do smile?" Beast Boy said and Twyla face palmed herself.
"What's wrong, Twyla?" Cyborg asked and she motioned to the two Titans.
"Beast Boy is acting stupid and if he is not careful, he will get hurt." She said.
"Should we stop him?" Cyborg asked and Twyla shrugged.
"They would probably have this conversation regardless if I was here or not. Why don't we just play a game and see what happens next." Twyla shrugged as they walked over to the couch as well and started up a game.
"Are you actually threatening me, Beast Boy?" Raven asked and Beast Boy shook his head.
"Threaten? I would never threaten, only keep this little book hostage until you smile. Or, you know, you admit that you smiled when Starfire and Robin kissed." Beast Boy said and Raven rose an eyebrow at him.
"Can I ask you something, Beast Boy?" She asked and Beast Boy nodded happily.
"Even if I say that, what will that matter? What will it prove? Because you doing this seems completely pointless." Raven said and Beast Boy blinked. He hadn't really thought about why he was messing with Raven like that. But Raven doesn't smile very often, and it was nice to see her happy, even if it was for a moment. After a moment of silence, Cyborg turned to the quiet teens and smiled.
"Hey guys, Twyla just gave me an awesome idea. Tomorrow night after training we should brake out the new blender and play never have I ever." Cyborg said and his friends stared at him.
"When did you buy a blender?" Raven asked and Cyborg gave a small smile.
"I bought it when Bumblebee turned 21. We were suppose to make margaritas and watch a few movies but her team was on red alert. She was aloud to spend a few hours away but she had to keep her mind so we just made popcorn and drank soda instead." Cyborg said with a shrug.
"So are you making these smoothies?" Beast Boy asked and Cyborg gave a small laugh.
"I can but it's more fun if we all make our own. Especially since you'll want some vegan stuff and Raven would probably want some kind of tea or coffee concoction." Cyborg said and Beast Boy shared a slightly nervous look with Raven. Twyla saw this and smiled while Cyborg looked confused.
"What's up with them?" Cyborg asked and Twyla giggled.
"I think that is a story for another day." She whispered back, as Raven got up and left the room.
That night, Beast Boy tossed and turned in his bed. He couldn't believe how nervous he was about using a stupid blender. How hard could it possibly be to use a simple blender? He wished that he didn't feel so ridiculous for never using a blender before. He knew that the lid had to be on before you blend because of people on TV who forgot. And he liked to have smoothies, but her had never made one himself. He always bought one at the mall, or the few times that Rita made him one when he was still in the Doom Patrol.
"Oh, that stupid, stupid blender." He muttered under his breath. There was a good chance that he could convince Starfire to make his milkshake or smoothie or whatever. She would probably be thrilled to do it, especially with what happened earlier today. Though there was a small chance that his cousin would want him to do it on his own. Beast Boy looked at his clock and it said 12:30. Beast Boy groaned and put a pillow over his face.
If I had actually used a blender before then I wouldn't be so worried now. Beast Boy thought and then he sat up.
"That's it. If I practice using the blender tonight then I have nothing to worry about tomorrow." Beast Boy whispered to himself. He got out of bed and walked into the OPs room in his pajama bottoms. When the door opened he was surprised to see Raven in the kitchen, with the blender. He heard her click several buttons and muttering under her breath as he walked towards her.
"Raven?" He asked and with a surprised gasp, Raven turned around.
"Beast Boy?" She said as they both stared at each other.
"What are you doing up so late?" He asked
"Why are you shirtless?" Raven asked and they both gave a light blush.
"I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about how we were suppose to use the blender tomorrow night, and I was a tad nervous because I have never used a blender before." Raven muttered as she looked at her feet.
"Well, That's the same reason that I'm here now." Beast Boy said which made Raven looked back up at him. They stared at each other for a moment before giving a shy smiles and small nervous laughs.
"Man, aren't we a pair of goofballs?" Beast Boy asked and Raven nodded.
"Strange how we actually have 'never used a blender before' in common." Raven said and Beast Boy shrugged.
"Well, I see two cups over there with some kind of chocolate drink in them and the blender has stuff, that's not chocolate, in it. That tells me that you have more experience then I do." Beast Boy said and Raven blinked.
"Well, who knew that you were observant?" Raven said. Beast Boy stuck out his tongue which earned a small grin from Raven.
"Yeah, I did make those drinks, but I'm worried that I broke the blender, because I did the same exact actions as before and it's not working now." Raven said before biting her lip. Beast Boy walked over and looked at the blender.
"It doesn't look busted. Tell me what you did?" Beast Boy said as he stood next to her.
"Well, I found the pieces of the blender, put them together and plugged it in. Then I put stuff into the blender, put the lid on and clicked this button-" Points to the button that says high.
"I waited until I thought it was done and I clicked off, poured the glasses, cleaned it out, and I thought that I better do it twice to make sure that I got it down so I filled it with more stuff, put the lid on but when I pushed the button nothing happened." Raven said and Beast Boy looked at the blender.
"And nothing is different?" Beast Boy asked and Raven shook her head.
"Only the ingredients and the blender is not in the same direction." Raven said.
"Huh, does it need to be in a specific direction?" Beast Boy asked and Raven shrugged.
"I thought that it didn't matter but perhaps it does." Raven said. She clicked the off button and put the blender back in it's original position then clicked the high button and sighed when nothing happened.
"Well, maybe there is something wrong with the outlet." Beast Boy said and Raven rolled her eyes.
"The outlet was working fine before." She said and Beast Boy shrugged.
"Hey. I'm only trying to help. If you did nothing wrong then maybe something happened to the outlet." Beast Boy said and Raven sighed.
"Ok, let's try it." She said. She clicked the off button, and moved the blender to another outlet with her powers, plugged it in and clicked high.
"Nothing still?" Beast Boy said while he scratched his head.
"Maybe you can't use high every time." Beast Boy said as he clicked off and then low.
"I don't think that's the problem. Maybe one of the other buttons." Raven suggested before clicking off and then blend.
"Maybe puree would work." Beast Boy said as he clicked it.
"Cool, the blend button didn't stay down when I clicked puree." Beast Boy said with a chuckle, before pushing other buttons.
"Pulse, liquefy, grind, puree, ice crush, shred, blend, high-" Beast Boy was cut off by the sound of the active blender, which made both Titans jump.
"You did it, Beast Boy." Raven said happily and Beast Boy grinned.
"I did do it, that's awesome." He said before hugging Raven.
"Man, do I feel stupid. I mean two buttons, it makes perfect sense now. Low blend or high blend?" Raven said as she hugged Beast Boy back.
"Yeah, one of the other buttons must have been pushed before you made that chocolate thing." Beast Boy said and Raven smiled.
"I am just glad that I didn't brake the blender and had to go out in the middle of the night to buy a new-" Raven stopped talking when she realized what was happening.
"We're hugging." She stated and Beast Boy nodded.
"Yeah, we are." He said. He and Raven were in the kitchen, in the middle of the night, him wearing pajama bottoms, her wearing a tank top and sweat pants, and they were hugging.
"So, um... should we just let go?" Raven asked.
"We probably should." Beast Boy muttered but they stayed still for a moment, before Raven finally pulled away.
"The, uh, banana pudding milkshake is probably done now." She whispered as she turned off the blender and poured two glasses.
"If you want you can have one of each. Or all four, if you like, since I don't normally have so many sweets before bed." Raven said with a shy smile.
"Ok, Raven." Beast Boy said as he carefully took a chocolate and banana pudding milkshake, and started to leave the OPs room. Once he was at the door he turned back to Raven.
"So, this is just between us, right?" He asked and was happy to see Raven sigh in relief.
"Yes, of course. Good night, Beast Boy." She said.
"Good night, Raven."
