Disclaimer ~ I don't own the Teen Titans, or Al Capone...obviously.

Chapter 2 - Don't Stay
You know, the greatest advantage to having a soundproof room, is I can hear the other Titans outside, but they can't hear me. Sounds great, doesn't it? It's only great if you like eavesdropping on people. Personally, I despise people doing that, and I certainly don't want to be the same. Dropping in on other peoples conversations, their own, personal remarks of others. It can be just horrible.
I've heard Beast Boy's remarks about me. Usually he says them to my face, which I think is most honorable of him. If you can't say something to someone's face, then you shouldn't say it behind their back. But, he has other opinions as well; everyone does.
I sighed softly. "I think I've been meditating long enough," I said, levitating over to the door. I walked downstairs, my hood down now; my tears had vanished. I crept past the others whom were playing video games.
Beast Boy was laying on the couch, curled up as a cat. I could tell that he was awake, and that his senses were picking up someone's presence. His ears kept twitching around in circles. It's almost cute...His ears make such small, precise movements. His green striped tail swinging back and forth behind him. His soft purring was so pleasing to the ear.
I think I stood there too long, because Cyborg had already beaten the level that he had started when I came down. Yawning, he turned around to stretch, and saw me. definitely not good.
"So, you finally got tired of sitting, did you?" he asked with that oh so cocky smirk. He's lucky that I'm good at controlling my emotions, or his head would be blown from the inside out right now!
Beast Boy looked up in his adorable cat like state, and changed back. "And maybe you'd like to stop sneaking around, too."
Oh, crap! "Did you ever think that I was just letting you sleep?" I lied, covering my face with my hood. "And just maybe I didn't want to disturb Cyborg from his games."
Beast Boy was going to retort, when the alarm rang. I would have died if that conversation had gone on any longer. Especially if they had asked why I had been standing there so long...Even I don't know that.
Robin rushed in with Starfire by his side. "Come on, Titans! There's a mob running around downtown!" Thank you!
Beast Boy gave me a dirty look on the way out; he knew that I was lying. Stupid animal senses! If he knew what I was going through, he wouldn't be so suspicious...though, that's the point: keeping him from knowing. It's kind of ironic, isn't it? Oh well. It doesn't matter anyway. No one would care.
We found the mob by some Italian restaurant. Once again: ironic, isn't it? A bunch of Italian guys by an Italian eatery. My gosh is that old! I mean, they've probably heard of Al Capone. Couldn't they be more creative?!
"Eh! If ya don back off, we'll shoot!" Or at LEAST think of more lines! "Ya hear?"
"Please do not shoot! We are only here to help. Maybe if you just surrender, then everything would be fine," Starfire requisitioned. That's just like her. She does that every time! And every time she gets...Oh my gosh! She's gonna get hit!
"Starfire! Watch out!" I yelled, throwing myself towards her. Now, just because I'm 'emotionless' doesn't mean that I'm not conscious less you know. "Why do you do that Starfire? They try to shoot you every time."
"I need to give them a chance to not get hurt if they choose, don't I?"
I sighed. "No. You don't show any mercy to the enemy." I paused, studying her reaction. "Got it?"
Starfire cocked her head to the side. "I think so."
Beast Boy came to the side of me and put a hand on my shoulder. "We're all glad that you saved Star, but we need to catch that gangsters now." He paused, obviously making fun of my lecture to Star. "Got it?"
I grunted unenthusiastically, and flew over to the gangsters get-away car. I yelled, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" and the engine died. It was kind of funny to watch them scramble out of the car; each of them going a different way, dropping everything in their arms. Such cowards. I saw BB moving in for the kill as a lion. After Beast Boy scared them into an alley, Cyborg grabbed some dumpsters and placed them on top of each other. That makes it easy for us.
"Nice job everyone," said Robin, checking over the dumpsters to make sure that they'd hold. "Who wants to stay here to keep an eye on the criminals while the rest of us get the police?"
Beast Boy jumped up and turned into a dog with his paws out. "He wants to," I said, moving away from him.
"All right then. Beast Boy, you and Raven stay and guard," ordered Robin, starting to turn away.
"What!" BB and I screamed in unison. "How can you leave me with that...jerk!" We pointed at each other in disgust.
Robin smirked. "Easy."
That dirty little...oh...oh well. What's done is done. The only thing to do is to stay as far away from Beast Boy as humanly possible while still guarding the criminals. Shouldn't be too hard.
"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" BB asked, crossing his arms ever so proudly.
"I don't know," I stated plainly.
He cast me a strange look and puffed up his cheeks. "Well...I'm thinking about going over there to get a pop. Then when I come back, you can get one." He paused. "You see what I'm saying?"
Ah! I see says the blind man! He's smarter than he looks! "Yep."
"All right then. I'll go now..." he said, walking over to the pop machine. I used my powers to hold the mobsters to the wall. Such FUN this is!
