I don't own the Teen Titans, though lately they seem to own every aspect of my free time. Can't stop thinking about ideas for stories.
Defense
"Why don't you just let him make up his own mind? All this arguing is giving me a headache." Raven asked, her voice taking on that slightly annoyed tone she loved so much.
Beast Boy knew that face though. He knew, though at the time he didn't acknowledge, that she was worried about him. Her eyebrows were drawn together, her mouth turned into a slight frown. If he'd stopped to watch her, through the sea of arguing faces, he might have seen the twitch in her jaw.
If he'd stopped at all, he might have seen her ditch her comfort zone. If he'd waited, and let the arguing continue, he might have seen her get mad and possibly frighten his former team. If he'd stopped to see, he might have caught on that maybe she liked him more than she was willing to admit. Of course, Beast Boy wasn't usually the 'stop and see what happens' type of guy. He was more the 'jump in and then find out what happens' type.
For this, Raven was slightly glad. Though her tone had been mild, she had been fully ready to raise her voice. Her speech had been planned. Her next move calculated. Her fists had been clenched at her side. If Beast Boy hadn't interrupted her, she was fully ready to...to what?
Had she seriously been about to yell at Beast Boy's other family? That would have gone over well.
She knew she would have though, if had meant that he would stop looking so torn and dejected. As his past and present teammates argued about his future right in front of him, she wasn't even sure if he'd heard her comment.
He had, of course, and had been very touched. Despite the tone, and complaint at the end, Beast Boy knew what she was saying. He knew she'd taken up for him, in her own Raven way. And while he didn't have time to acknowledge it, he would never forget it.
Switched
"If you even think about looking down, I will hurt you."
"What are you going to do? Turn into a rabbit and bite my foot?" Black energy crackled behind a dark cloaked teen.
"It can't be that difficult!" Raven focused her mind. It was probably much like meditation and using her powers. She concentrated all of her energy into one thing. She focused on the image of a T-Rex.
Laughter erupted from the purple haired teen. A lamp exploded.
Raven tried to tell Beast Boy to shut up and focus as well, but found that she couldn't speak. She looked up, and realized suddenly that everything was towering over her.
"I wasn't serious!" Raven ignored him, and began to panic slightly as she realized that she didn't know how to turn back. Purple eyes rolled. "Think of being human. Remember every detail of how your body feels as a human. How do your hands work? What about the muscles in your face?"
Slowly, the room began to shrink. Raven sighed; finally back to herself…sort of. Laughter exploded from the magical teen again, as three pillows rose into the air and shredded themselves.
"I must admit, Rae, the ears are kinda cute on you…err, me?" Raven rolled her eyes.
"How did that stupid puppet come back to life in the first place?" She shouted angrily.
"We're researching it right now." Robin called over his shoulder.
"Do not worry friends. This change will only be temporary, yes?" Starfire reassured them nervously.
"We're doing our very best to fix it as we speak." Cyborg called from his place beside Robin.
Raven wondered yet again how she was always the one unlucky enough to be switched.
"Can we hurry please? I kinda have to pee…" Beast Boy said from Raven's body.
"Don't even think about it."
I'm a little afraid that these weren't very clear. Very possible considering that I've written this at 3 in the morning while doing laundry…
In any case, if you're confused, the first one was from "Homecoming Part 2" when the Doom Patrol and the Titans were arguing over what Beast Boy was going to do. The second, was my idea of a fun switch of bodies between Raven and Beast Boy. I had a lot more planned out for the second, a few more funny moments, but this is how it turned out.
Let me know what'cha think :D
