To MSBlackmon: I'm sorry, but I'm not taking requests at the moment. I may come up with a RedX chapter eventually, as his character is a lot of fun, but for now I'm just writing what inspires me.

Based on a real conversation I had a few years ago.

Sonic Boom

9-12-15

"Come on, man, don't you want wings?"

"No, I would rather have horns on my head instead of wings on my back."

"…Nice comeback, but not everyone can zip around on grabbling cables."

"Maybe, but it's better to be slow than to have giant targets on your back just begging to be shot down."

"I'm made of metal, glow blue, and almost twice the size of an average man. I already am a giant target. At least I'd be a giant target that doesn't need to be carried around like a dolly into every battle."

"A doll that strikes fear into the enemies' hearts with his belch alone."

"Ha, I beat both of you."

Beast Boy changed into a rhino, and they jumped back in surprise right before he thrust his horn at them. They had barely enough time to recover before he shifted into a goose, swooping at their heads when they ducked. He circled above them and honked in what could only be interpreted as laughter.

Cyborg straightened, his cannon aimed overhead. "I think Grass Stain's gotta be reminded of who's in charge around here."

Robin smirked and whipped out a birdarang from his belt. "I've got the boom if you've got the sonic."

The goose squawked and dropped an inch in the air before hurriedly beating his wings to recover. He flapped away, missing by the tip of his tail feathers a blast that leveled every tree within a mile radius.

NEXT: On the ceiling Mother Mare creeps,

Spinning a web of devious dreams,

While our heroes start to dream…
