"Osama bin Laden is dead."
"WHOO-HOO! OH YEAH! GO AMERICA! WE KILLED HIM! GO US! OH YEAH! USA! UH HUH!"
SMACK!
"RAVEN! WHAT THE HECK?"
Raven glared at Beast Boy, with more anger than ever before.
"Stop it."
"Why? The ULTIMATE BAD GUY is DEAD! He's more evil than SLADE! And Slade is pretty freaking evil!"
"Because celebrating the death of another human being would make us as evil as him," Starfire said quietly from the door od the Ops Room. Raven shot Starfire an appreciative glance and just looked at Beast Boy.
The president was finishing his speach on the matter and Beast Boy wordlessly turned off the television.
It was silent for a moment before Raven spoke.
"We should not be happy that a human life has ended, even if in this life, this person was responsable for so many other lives. That only brings us down to his level," she said, "we should be relieved that his reign is over. We shouldn't be celebrating his death. Nor should be make this a National holiday. We should, however, be happy that with his regime ended, we are one step closer to ending the terrible things that have happened not to our country, but to others' as well."
Starfire nodded in agreement.
Beast Boy was not looking at Raven, nor Starfire. Instead, he was starting at the floor, head hung.
"I understand."
He looked at Raven's piercing violet-blue eyes.
"Sorry," he mumbled. Raven blinked slowly as if to forgive him.
The only sound that could be heard was Beast Boy shuffling across the carpet floor od the Ops Room, and the low swish as Starfire floated aside and the door opened for Beast Boy to exit.
Then the Ops Room door closed with a small click.
A/n: That is my whole view on the matter. I felt like I needed to say something about it. I'm okay if you express your opinion when reviewing, but I will not tolerate flames-I will not hesitate to block you or delete your review if you're anonymous.
Why I decided to kind of...characterize Beast Boy like that is because...well...I have no excuse. I felt he would be the Titan to react like that before really thinking about it. Apologies if you are unhappy with my portrayal of Beast Boy in this situation.
