wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee, i'm having fun with this! reviews make me very, very, very happy!

disclaimer~i don't own Teen Titans.

*~*~*~*~*~*

The door opened slowly due to Raven's wariness of what she and Starfire might find. She had no idea how

Beastboy would react to the extract, for all she knew it could kill him (puh-leez, even i'm not twisted!) as

soon as his stomach digested it and it entered his bloodstream. She hoped that wasn't the case.

Star gazed into the darkened room over Raven's shoulder. The TV seemed to be the only thing on, and it

yielded only static-y snow. Not much help. "Beastboy? Are you here?" Her usually happy voice was strangled

with worry for her friend.

Silence answered her. Raven stepped tentitively into the room and glanced around, it was cold in here.

The window. The window was open, the curtains flapping in a chilly draft that filled the room.



Beastboy had gone out the window. Kami-sama save us all, a crazy shape-shifter was loose in the city.



Starfire too noticed the window, and Raven's sudden change in posture. She had tensed visibly, to the

point of almost shaking. In a very un-Ravenlike move, she ran to the window, leaning out to peer over the

edge. At least there wasn't a body lying there, splattered on the earth below. That left only two options.

"Star, I need you to stay here and make sure Robin doesn't escape. If he does, hit him with a starbolt

and knock him out."

Starfire whimpered slightly at the thought of having to attack Robin. Raven gave her a stern look.

"I know you don't want to, but odds are he won't escape anyway. I just don't want to leave him by

himself. Heavens know what trouble he'd get into." Though, she added to herself, if I want to avoid trouble,

leaving him with Starfire probably isn't the best thing to do. She'd let him trash the place. But I have no

options right now. "I'm going to find Beastboy. Raven didn't wait for Star's objection, she instead went to

the window and flew out, leaving Robin in Starfire's care.

Raven scanned the lake around the Tower, seriously hoping that Beastboy had not transformed into a fish

or something of that nature. It was either that or he had become a bird and flown out into the city. Not

able to see anything under the water, and not in the mood for a swim, Raven headed out towards the buildings

of the city, hoping to find Beastboy there.

Starfire walked back into the weight room to find Robin still pinned to the wall. She took a seat on

the floor in front of him. "Hello Robin."

"Hey, Starfire, would you mind unpinning me," Robin asked in a voice so sweet it was sickening. Star

shook her head.

"No, Robin, I cannot. Raven said I was to watch you so that you do not escape."

Robin clucked disprovingly. "Now since when do you take orders from Raven? She's not the boss."

Star thought momentarily. "You are just saying that because you have been affected by the extract.

Raven is trying to find Beastboy."

"Is she now? Why don't you get to look for Beastboy?" Robin's eyes bored into hers as she hesitated.

"Well, why not? Does she think you are to stupid to be able to find him?"

Tears sprung to Star's eyes. "Do not say that Robin! Raven is my friend, and yours too! She would

never treat me like that!"

"Why don't you release me and we'll go find her and ask her then?" To her own surprise, Star nodded.

Using a starbolt, she basted away the weight that held Robin to the wall.

Once down, he grabbed her hand. "Let's go!"

They ran to the Tower entrance, going so fast that on their way out, Starfire failed to notice the

note that was taped to the door.

'Titans,

I have decided to take the weekend off, I just feel like a I need a break. See ya'll on Moday

night!

Cyborg'

Star let herself feel joy and she and Robin, hand-in-hand, flew off into the setting sun, towards the

city where Raven scoured the streets and Beastboy ran free.
