Jasperslilred: Now, I know it's short, but the only reason I'm updating at all is because I have a few hours from no school (Ha-ZA!) I'm so busy right now, but I'm here and my bunny's in my lap, trying to play with the keys on my computer.
Beast Boy: First of all, nobody cares. Second, why is there a rabbit in your lap?
Jasperslilred: Cuz I felt like it, dats why! You got a problem?
Beast Boy: Mhm. It's name is JLR.
Jasperslilred: Shall I go beat this person up?
Beast Boy: X(
"That's it! Not one more time will I sit back and watch his life be played with like a doll!" Raven screamed and a few plate shattered to dust in the full sink. She and Robin were pacing back and forth, meeting in the middle and going from one end of the common room to the other. Starfire sat on the couch, trying to watch both of them at the same time... unsuccessfully.
"Exactly, we need to find a way to get ahead of them. They're planning something, I know it..." Robin muttered.
"No shit, Sherlock?!" Raven stopped her pacing to face him.
"Hey, don't talk to me or any of us like that! We're heroes! We've got a reputation!" Robin didn't take well to being cussed at, much less by his own team. They learned that from Beast Boy...
"I'll talk however I feel like talking, got that!?" Raven backed.
"Not to me you won't!"
"Get off you're high horse!"
"Oh, I will! And maybe he'll stumble away and get a beer too!"
"Whoever said that horse was a boy? Sexist?"
"Well, if it's my high horse-"
"You've never had a horse. Just an ass!"
"FRIENDS!" Starfire screamed.
"What?!" Robin and Raven ,who were now inches from one another, whipped around to look at her.
"We should not be fighting right now. We need to work together to find our friend! This arguing over intoxicated horses and donkeys will not help him at all!" When her little rant was over, the two just stared blankly at her. "I'll go to see Friend Cyborg and see how the Timothy is..." she flew to the door slowly and disappeared down the hall.
"Alright, fighting isn't helping..."
"Wait... that's it! Robin, I know how we can get Beast Boy back!" You could see the dusty wheels of thought turning.
"Helping?"
"No, you dolt. Fighting!"
"We've been fighting Rae-"
"Raven."
"-what are we doing wrong?"
"Well, it's going to be a pretty big risk, but if I know something about the Riddler and Joker that I think I know, it's that they make games you have to play. Here's where we finally get the upper hand," Raven was now in full thought mode.
"I don't follow."
"Robin, what are we?" Raven looked him straight in the face. For a moment, he thought she might have gone crazy.
"Heroes." His trademark answer.
"No Robin, right now think outside the box. What do the Riddler and Joker think we are?"
"Raven, no time for riddles, what is it?!"
"What do we do best?" she asked like it should be the most obvious thing in the whole world.
"Heroes, Raven, we are HEROES!" Robin threw his arms in defeat.
"Hey guys. We got Tim here fixed up," Cyborg said coming into the room, oblivious to the argument.
"Can I get back to my mom now?" Timothy asked timidly. Before Robin could tell him that he wanted to question him, Raven jumped up.
"Yea, we'll take you on our way."
"On our way where?" Starfire asked.
"What are you going to do about Gabe and Beast Boy?" Timothy asked.
"We're going to do what we do best," Raven smirked and looked at Robin. "Being rebellious teenagers."
Sadly, for this chapter, I only own Gabe and Timother... I wish I had a high horse...
