all right, chapter 6!

*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven swooped low over the city, eyes scanning the crowds below for anthing green, be it humaniod or
animal. This little endeavor was going nowhere fast as far as finding Beastboy was concerned. He could be
anywhere in the entire city, her odds of finding him were slim to none, especially since she had no help.
Maybe laeving Star at the Tower had been a bad a idea, in retrospect. Robin would probably have been okay
on his own. There was little chance of him prying himself off that wall, she probably should have brought
Starfire with her to help with the search. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk, as she recalled the
human adage (dig that, I used a vocab word!).
*ZOOM*
Raven tumbled head over heels in the air, plummeting towards earth at deadly speeds. Had that been a
starbolt that knocked her out of the sky? No way, no possible way. Starfire was at the Tower, watching
Robin, just like she was supposed to be. Raven straightened her decent, slowing as she went until she
floated a few feet above the sidewalk. The citizens had scattered, fearing her crashing on top of them.
Raven noted faces watching from windows with typical human curiosity. Stupid humans, didn't they know
that whatever had caused her to fall could still be around? Raven narrowed her eyes into slits below her
hood, seeking out her enemy, be it for better or worse.
Worse came along quickly in the form of none other than Starfire herself with Robin, who looked
deleriously happy at the moment, in tow.
"Raven!" Starfire's eyes glowed green with anger, and her hand cackled with energy. Raven decided
that this was not going to be pretty.
"Since when are you in charge!? Who died and made you queen!? Robin grinned wildly behind the
furious girl and she advanced on Raven, still shouting, but now she had switched to her native languge,
so it was anyone's guess what she was saying. Raven was willing to bet it wasn't nice comments. Her eyes
began to glow red.
"For Heaven's sake Starfire, we don't have time for this!" Raven fought inwardly to control herself.
"We have to save the boys!"
The glow in Star's eyes died and she hung her head in shame. "Of course. I apologize, Raven. I will
not put myself before the team."
Raven's eyes softened (is that possible? O_o) and returned to their normal shade of blue. "I'm sorry
too Star. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
Her usual smile returning to her face, Star spread her arms wide. "Let us partake of a hug!"
Raven staggered back. "No!"
Star's face fell, but only slightly. "Then let us go and find Beastboy together." Raven didn't
respond, instead launching herself back into the sky. Star had litle choice but to grab Robin's hand and
follow.

The sun was setting serenely over the horizon as the three Titans returned to the Tower, Raven and
Starfire each brooding inwardly over their inability to find Beastboy. As they were flying towards the
Tower, raven froze in mid-flight, causing Star to ram headfirst into her back.
"No. Way." Sitting calmly atop the Tower, Beastboy appeared to be deep in meditation. Raven flew in
and perched next to him. "Beastboy.........?"
"Yes?" He opened on eye to peer at her as though him meditating was the most natural thing in the
world, and how dare she interrupt him. (now this is like the Twilight Zone..........)
"Ummmmmmm........" For once, Raven had no response. What was she supposed to do now? She had been
intent on rescuing him from dire peril, not findind him meditating on the roof of the Tower. This was too
weird, and them some. "Maybe you should come inside?" It was a question, not an order. She was to nervous
to think of anything else.
"Fine. I want some tea." Beastboy got up and went down into the Tower, leaving a baffled Raven
sitting by herself, rather perplexed. Oh, she would need to meditate on this one. Then it hit her.
It had brought out their hidden emotions by making them their opposites! Robin was usually calm, so
now he was giddy and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to perky. Beastboy was usually fun and upbeat, but now he was just
like Raven. A fact she found slightly more disturbing than this whole misadventure itself.
~*~
Raven entered the kitchen to find that Starfire had bound Robin to a chair, and was attemping to do
the same to Beastboy, who kept transforming to keep her from doing so. Raven waved her hands in a bored
manner. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." The boys suddenly glowed black around the edges and were zoomed
upstairs. A resounding *boom* was heard. "That should hold them for the time being." Raven gestured to a
chair, and Starfire sat down across from her.
"I figured out what the effects of the potion is," she began, and went on to explain the personality
twists to Star, who nodded in rare understanding.
"So what are we to do now?"
"We have to find Cyborg. Then we have to figure out how to reverse the affects of the extract."
Star nodded. "How are we to find Cyborg?"
Raven's eyes roamed the room, coming to rest on the door, where a note was taped. She walked to it
slowly, read it, and went an even whiter shade of pale.
Star was watching nervously. "What is the matter Raven?"
"He's out for the weekend. We have to do this ourselves." Raven turned around and sat back in the
chair, her legs suddenly weak like jelly.
"Now what are we to do?" Worry shone in Star's eyes. "What can we do without Cyborg?"
"We have to do this ourselves. But how......." Raven mused aloud.
A green mouse appeared at her feet, then resumed it's normal shape. "I want my tea." He grabbed a
steaming mug of herbal tea from the counter and marched solemly back up the stairs to his room.
Raven resisted the strong urge to slap her hand against her forehead. "This is too weird........"
"I agree Raven." Star looked at the spot where Beastboy had stood before returning upstairs. This is
definatly what humans would call 'too weird.'"
