Chapter 2: Poison Spreading
The Titans had returned home from their battle against the HIVE triad, and Beast Boy was putting the finishing touches on his plan against Star and Robin. All of a sudden, nausea hit him like a bus. "Ohhh… that hurts…" he moaned, staggering towards the bathroom. As he emptied his stomach's contents, he tried to figure out why he was so sick. "Maybe I ate something that wasn't tofu… or maybe it was the thought of Robin and Starfire in the same room alone… yeah, that's probably it."
As he plodded back to his room, he decided that he wouldn't pull the prank today. "I think I should rest awhile…" he thought, heading for the bed.
All of a sudden, the alarm went off again. "Oh maaaaaaaaaan…" he whined, wishing that criminals would just stay PUT for a while. He heard Robin's shout of "Titans, GO!" but didn't get up to do anything about it. After about 20 seconds, Robin came running into the room. "Come on, BB, let's get moving!" he ordered. "Dude, I just threw up lunch. Can I take a break?" Robin's… uh… mask furrowed in concern. "You okay?" "Yeah, just caught a bug… or maybe something I ate…" Robin left BB to figure out what the heck was wrong with him.
By the time the rest of the Titans had returned, Beast Boy had thrown up 17 times, had a fever of 102.3, and didn't look too happy about it. Robin went back to his room to see how the changeling was doing, and was very concerned about Beast Boy's appearance. "Do you want me to get Raven? Maybe she can heal you." Beast Boy nodded miserably. "Please."
Raven came in, looking faintly annoyed, and – was that a bit of concern in her eyes? She put her hand on his forehead, and flinched at his high temperature. "I'll see what I can do," she said, taking a few steps backward and then assuming her meditation position. "Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos…" For a moment everything was dead quiet. Then Raven fell over backwards, purple eyes opening in shock. "Something is blocking me from healing him. Beast Boy, when did this start? These symptoms?"
Beast Boy thought for a moment, then said, "Just when we got back from the battle against the HIVE losers… Wait a minute! Jinx said something about… poison."
Well, that's all, my dedicated readers!!! looks around Come on, I know you're out there!! crickets chirp Oh well…
This will probably be the last update this year. My family is going on a trip on the 27th, and we will get back probably late on New Year's Day, and I will be without Internet access. Tomorrow I have to pack and I have a hockey game, so I won't have time to write. But when I get back, I will put up at least 2 chapters immediately. Please review!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
