Chapter Eleven
Synopsis:
Ever wondered what would happen if one of Raven's emotions was released into the real world? Well, when Raven decides to squash her love (and lust) for Beast Boy, things get a little wacky... Lust is sick of being ignored and forgotten, and so Lust captures Raven in her own mirror, and goes out into the Tower to get some freedom... sound good? Keep reading to find out what happens!
Introduction:
'Kay! So, here's that introduction again. Did you know that I'm going to have an 'Alternate Chapter Names' at the end of the fic? The names Raven, Beast Boy, and I would have given the chapters instead of just numbering them. They should be VERY amusing.
Disclaimer:
I do not own the Teen Titans. If I did, Terra would not have betrayed the Titans to Slade (I don't mind Terra bashing, but my friend likes her, so. . .), Beast Boy would be with Raven, Robin with Star, Cyborg with. . . someone. . . and I would get to personally visit them! Hmmm. . . maybe if I went to visit, Cy'd go out with me. I wish! x.x
Dedication:
To Laura, Tara, and Aero, my best friends, and to Alex, another best friend, who has helped me with this fic a lot. Also to all the Raven and Beast Boy supporters out there.
Hint For Chapter Twelve:
The big showdown! Rae is freed, and Beast Boy and she have to face Lust!
Quote Of The Chapter:
"Wait! I know now! Someone put some sort of mind control device on you, right Rae? Was it Slade? Or Jinx! Yeah! I bet it was Jinx! She probably wanted to humiliate you in front of us! Well, it ain't gonna work! I'll save you, Raven!"
Lust was furious. Her face contorted into a rather twisted pout, the oh-so- scandalously-dressed emotion stomped out of Beast Boy's room. She had no clue where he could have gone. Why had he run away from her like that? The green buffoon was passing up the chance of a lifetime. The vain emotion could not understand the reason for his sudden departure.
And then, it hit her. He knew! Somehow, Beast Boy knew that she wasn't the real Raven, and had gone to rescue her. Personally, she had not thought that the changeling was smart enough to see through her façade, but. . . maybe she had underestimated him.
She knew exactly where she would find him now, in Raven's room. He would go into the mirror to rescue his beloved. It was amusing, in a twisted sort of way, almost like a prince rescuing his princess.
Well . . . almost. The princess could move things and had to control her emotions, and the prince had green skin, pointy ears, and told rather bad jokes. Lust snorted. It was then that she heard footsteps coming down the hall. The faint sound of whistling floated into her ears. She knew who it was instinctively. Cyborg.
"Oh, hey Raven," the blue, metallic Cyborg said as he passed his team mate (or, at least, what he thought was his team mate). "What's up? Where's Bea- "his voice trailed off as his mind fully comprehended what he was seeing. Cyborg's jaw dropped. "Holy shi-"
Lust cut him off. "What?" she asked, in her usual tone.
"Raven. . . you're. . . you're. . . not Raven, are you? You can't be Raven," the robot babbled unintelligibly. "No way. You're not Raven. This is some sort of joke. . . Beast Boy's joke! Beast Boy! Where are you? This isn't funny! No, wait, Slade is behind this! He's trying to trick all of us and freak us out! Stop messing with my head! Can't. . . be. . . Raven. . . thong. . . AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" and with that, he fell over.
Lust snorted, prodding the fallen man with her foot. Cyborg opened his eyes, blinked them, rubbed them, and stared in wide-eyed shock at Lust. "What are you DOING? You're. . . you're. . . I know! I must be dreaming! This is all just a disturbed dream!" He pinched himself. What disturbed him the most was that Raven actually looked. . . well. . . good.
"Ohmigod. . . I know! Aliens have put me in some alternate reality! A reality where everything's backwards!"
Lust kicked him. "Shut up! Now, tell me where Beast Boy is, immediately."
"Alright, this is just plain screwed," Cyborg said, staring at Raven. "This is just wrong on SO MANY LEVELS, girl."
"I'll ask you one. . . last. . . time. . . where is Beast Boy?"
Cyborg just stared. "Why do you want to know, whoever you are? Wait! I know now! Someone put some sort of mind control device on you, right Rae? Was it Slade? Or Jinx! Yeah! I bet it was Jinx! She probably wanted to humiliate you in front of us! Well, it ain't gonna work! I'll save you, Raven!"
And with that, Cyborg picked Lust up and held her under one arm, charging off to the kitchen to get Robin and Starfire.
Soon, the three members of the Teen Titans that were not in Raven's mirror were gathered around Lust, who was laying on the couch in the living room. "Now," Robin said, slightly distracted by the sight of one of his team mates, one he sort of thought of as a sister or something, in a thong, "explain this to me again, Cyborg?"
"Well, I was walkin' along the hallway when I saw this. . . what should I call you?"
"Please, dear friend Cyborg," Starfire said, "call her Raven so that we will not be confused."
"Too late for that," muttered Robin.
"Shut up," Cy reprimanded, "I'm trying to tell a story here! So, yeah, I was walkin' along the hallway when I saw 'Raven' storm out of Beast Boy's room, demanding to know where he was! I'm all, what up wit dat? I mean, why would RAVEN want to find him? And why would she wear this?" he pointed at Lust. "I mean, even if Rae did like the elf, she wouldn't go looking for him in her underwear! I mean, that's just not like her."
Robin nodded. "Think she's under mind control?"
"Exactly."
"I think that you are both almost as clueless as a Tamaranian Glorbag Worm."
"Hey!" both boys shouted at the same time.
"When you went into Raven's mirror," Starfire lectured, "did you not say that her emotions were of many colors?"
"Er. . . Cyborg nodded slightly. "Yeah. . ."
"Look at this Raven's skin. It is not a pale lavender like the skin of our dear companion. It is tinted red."
Robin and Cyborg looked.
"Yep," Cyborg confirmed. "She's an emotion. Wonder how she got out."
"That's IT!" Lust yelled. "It took you THIS LONG to figure it out? Excuse me, I have to go and make sure my idiotic host is still in her prison!" And with that, the emotion stormed off.
There was a long silence.
"So," Cyborg said eventually, "do you want to forget that this ever happened?"
"Roger that," Robin agreed. "We never, ever think about it again."
