Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own any of these Teen Titan heroes. But happily I created and own this plot.
Author's note: Terribly sorry for the delay. Here are the inexcusable reasons but valid.
1) Updated for another chapter. I could only write one chapter a week as some have noticed
2) Right after, computer had virus. Was in workshop for 2 days.
3) Was sick for a week and had to catch up on school work.
4) Still sick now but thought of readers (you) and wrote whenever I had time.
Chapter 5- Odd Encounter
Beastboy's lion body stretched into the air and displayed the tight knots of muscles in his torso and hind legs as he leaped in pursuit of the enemy. His sensitive nose instantaneously picked up on an odd odor and directed him to find his sense of direction. Raven followed behind in the disguise of Robin. She was quite disturbed at the moment. Instead of flying smoothly in the sky she was running with those outrageously heavy steel boots that seem to weight a million pounds. Raven could not understand how Robin was capable of outrunning the rest of the team with these bricks of burdens on his feet. She stopped to catch her breath.
"Beastboy, the target could be anywhere. Why don't we just stop here?"
"Sure, he should be here anyways. My nose just told me that he is close by."
"Could have told me sooner" whined Raven "Let's search around here then." They roamed around the area and halted in front of a funny looking amazement attraction.
"Yep he's here, the smell is coming up strong and near." Raven stared at the building. A gigantic white clown face stared down at them with its mouth open wide as an entrance for people to enter the fun house.
Beastboy gawked at the scary looking clown and nodded his head in a confirmative manner. "A definite villain hide out. Why this clown's face alone could scare the wits out of me." B-boy shivered.
"Well we better get going then." retorted Raven. Raven entered first into the hungry looking mouth and Beastboy followed in his usual form. The place was dreary and dark and held several 3D pictures of mad clowns. There were clowns with missing heads and limbs that seem to be chasing after them and others with a zombie look.
"Gosh this strikes me quite familiar, man I bet the bad guy is just itching to jump out and catch us from behind. I have seen this so many times on those horror movies. Oo look out behind you." Raven turned around and saw Robin's image in an elongated way. She was facing one of those whacky mirrors.
"Hee..you look so funny Robin."
"Looks whose talking?" B-boy peered at the reflection and saw a round squashed green beastboy.
"AHh…great I get the ugly mirror."
"Stop complaining, let's get going."
"Nah, come on let's stay here for a little while. There are hundred of mirrors here. Come on." Beastboy transformed into a little kitty cat and gave the adorable little bulging eyes that no one could resist. Raven stared at the irresistible look and her heart as always gave in. "Fine just for a little while." She turned away and walked on.
"Look at this mirror Robin!" exclaimed the excited B-boy. Raven went over to him.
"Don't we look so funny? Heehee. You all wide and me all tall." Raven gazed at the image. Although it was stupid and dumb it was sure funny. It made Raven giggle without her noticing. When she giggled the mirror reflected an expanded and distorted smile.
"Isn't this so much fun?" asked B-boy. Suddenly he smiled mischievously as a wicked thought entered his mind. He rushed towards Robin and pinched his face. He ended up making a funny face on Robin.
"Ow, I am so going to get you!" yelled Raven.
"But you looked so hilarious!" Raven chased after b-boy as he zapped into a tiny mouse scurrying away. Raven reacted fast and caught him by his skimpy tail.
"Caught you!" sneered the victorious Raven. Beastboy quickly zapped into an eagle. This took Raven out of surprise and she let go. Beastboy flew deeper into the fun house. Raven zipped through the maze of adjacent mirrors and tried to look for the eagle.
"Oo if I could only fly" thought Raven. She kept on running and slammed right into a camouflaged glass window.
"Ow." An eagle flew down to her and popped into Beastboy.
"Are you all right Robin?" Raven held her face with her hand and glared at Beastboy.
"What do you think?"
"Sorry" Beastboy grinned apologetically.
"It's all right." Raven let go of her face and revealed a bleeding nose.
"Dude you are bleeding."
"I'll be fine." Raven tried to wave him away as she sat on the floor.
"Nah let me help you." Beastboy kneeled closer to her and offered a hand to lift her up. Raven suddenly started to blush as b-boy only stood a few centimeters away from her. She tried to cover her face with Robin's cape.
"Don't do that man, you are going to mess up your cape and blame me and force me to wash if for you." Raven hated to think what the real Robin would do to her if he found out that she messed up his cape.
"O yea." She let the cape go and tried to get up but her head felt light and dizzy and she couldn't keep her balance. She ended up falling all over B-boy.
"Wow, you're all touchy Robin." Beastboy face spelled "weird out". Raven's face turned beet red as she mumbled something and tried to get away. She pushed beastboy away and tried to stand on her own.
"I have to think of something or he'll think Robin as gay" thought Raven
"Move away Beastboy. I can stand on my own."
"Be my guest!" growled the offended Beastboy. Raven moved away and met another hit on the face as she walked into the same glass window. Luckily Beastboy was behind and caught her as she fell backwards, but being the clumsy beastboy he was he tripped on his own feet and ended up tumbling down on top of Raven.
Raven lay on her back feeling fuzzy. She shook her head gently and opened her eyes slowly. Her legs were all askew on the floor but her hands were free. She tried in anvil to push herself up. Then suddenly she realized the reason why she couldn't. There was extra weight on her and it happened to be Beastboy's. The teenage girl once again flushed red as she felt the body heat emitted from b-boy. She had to do something.
Beastboy was out of place. The trip happened so quickly that it took him by surprise. One moment he was helping Robin next thing he knew he was flat on the ground. Well not exactly, he was on top of something squishy. Beastboy felt something knee him on his shin. He crouched in agony and turned his head and met Robin's eyes. He stared for a moment as everything seemed to stand still. Instantly he felt a burning embarrassment. He blushed and scrambled away. Yet he fell down again as his legs were tangled with Robin's.
"Ooff..get away beastboy are you trying to kill me here?" bellowed Raven as she received another blow to her stomach when b-boy fell on her.
"I am getting off right now." Beastboy hurried up and got away from Raven. Raven lay on the ground for a few more minutes with her eyes closed and an arm on her forehead. Her heart was pounding furiously as she experienced something that she never felt. Her stomach was in knots and she couldn't concentrate as thousands of thoughts raced into her mind.
"What was that? I could have sworn I felt something as beastboy looked into my eyes. I got to calm down. Oh my gosh, am I falling in love with him?" Raven's eyes dilated as that thought entered her mind. She continued to breathe deeply and tried to reclaim her composure. Minutes passed by and she finally got the strength and mind to get up.
Beastboy stayed away from Robin and stared at the ceiling. He was becoming more paranoid as the seconds passed. The changeling paced around and mumbled to himself. He knew that he felt something when he saw Robin's eyes. He felt a connection or electricity or whatever. "What is wrong with me? This is just a mistake." Beastboy ran his fingers through his hair. Sweats were raining down his face as this dilemma plagued his mind. "Dude, I am not gay!" Beastboy carefully peek towards Robin. While turning he reminded himself to avoid Robin's eyes. "No matter what, don't look into his eyes." murmured b-boy. He saw Robin stirring and getting up. Beastboy quickly snapped his head back the other direction.
Raven got up and saw beastboy a few inches away from her. Her cheeks began to burn at the sight of him. Raven's mind bereted her. "Stop it. You are Robin now." Raven cooled down and steadily walked up to him.
"Stop fooling around, we got an enemy to catch." Once Beastboy heard Robin's determined voice everything seemed to be fine again. He stopped worrying and put on his fight face.
"All right, besides this trip has been putting us down." Beastboy flashed into a dog. He sniffed and began to run. Raven followed behind.
