Brexit

"Why are you celebrating?" Cyborg asked, as Beast Boy cheered from his place on the couch.

" 'Cause, I'm half Irish. Northern Irish. Brexit is just as much a thing for me as it is for everyone else in Britain. Even if it's unlikely that I'll ever go live there," he explained.

It wasn't exactly common knowledge that he was on Irish descent, but with his green skin, he didn't exactly advertise it either.

"I still don't get it," Robin admitted from the seat next to the green teen. "Why is it such a big deal? It's not like Great Britain isn't its own, recognised country."

"Because! Do you know how long Europe had depended on Britain for money? For back-up? For stepping up when every other country has dropped the ball? There's a reason Britain was an Empire, and that it still has the Commonwealth." Beast Boy had no idea if this was the best way to explain it, but at least he was trying.

"So, basically, they're just having and Independence Day?" Cyborg asked.

"Not exactly... but sorta, yeah."
