Oooh. Chapter two. I'd love to thank my reviewers. All two of them. DX. C'mon, man. This ficcie can't be THAT bad. Onto business. In this chapter, pretty much nothing will happen except for a lame-brained horribly written fight, and… pizza. So read on, dear reading readers!

"Raven, I meant it when I said we would talk later." Raven stopped, halfway across the living room to the elevator and turned slowly. Beast Boy, who had cheered up considerably, followed Jinx and Cyborg out of the room snickering. Starfire had already wandered into the kitchen to make some pudding or death in bowl or something like that. Raven sighed and walked back over to Robin in an almost bored, irritated way. Said leader was leaning against the back of the couch watching her with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Talk. Right." Robin narrowed his eyes. It annoyed the hell out of him when she acted like this.

"First of all, why don't you like Jinx?" Raven snapped her head up to look at him, causing her hood to fall back. Her eyes were wide, but other than that, she acted perfectly normal. This is not what she expected him to ask. She'd been prepared to defend herself in a court of law over the aspirin incident, but not this.

"Who said I don't like her?"

"I trained with Batman, Raven. I think I learned some things. You didn't answer the question." Raven sighed, feeling trapped. On a good day, she could put up with hedgehog hair and fight a decent battle. Usually win. Today was not classified as 'good' whatsoever.

"I just don't trust her."

"Why not?"

"Terra. Malchior." Raven flinched as she spat both names out coldly. Robin tilted his head slightly as if studying her. He opened his mouth to press the conversation, but thought better of it and changed the subject.

"Why did you take a box of aspirin?"

"You make it sound as if I did it on purpose."

"Did you?" Raven's eyes flashed dangerously.

"No, Robin," She spoke sharply. "I did not. I just wasn't paying attention."

"That isn't like you." Raven began to look exasperated.

"No. It isn't. It also isn't like me to deal with you, is it?" Robin narrowed his eyes at this point.

"No, you're right. You usually avoid questions and seclude yourself conveniently when I talk to you." Raven gritted her teeth. There was no doubt this would turn into a fight. First came the accusations. Old things brought up to drive the other on. Soon after, it got sarcastic. After the sarcastic verbal abuse came the shouting. Soon after the volume woke the dead, it got physical. The last piece of the scenario was rare, but when it came to pass, someone always got hurt and the two had to be pulled apart by whoever was around. These events were an unspoken taboo and never spoken of by residents of the tower.

"All that gel is affecting your brain, Boy Blunder. I don't avoid questions. I tell you right out that I won't answer you."

"No, you don't, Raven. You reply to questions with more questions. Maybe you don't notice. Maybe your lack of control extends to your speech."

"And maybe your need for control is the real problem here." Robin stopped leaning on the couch and took a step towards Raven, balling his fists by his side.

"But your lack of it is dangerous. And you rarely even come to trainings."

"That is because I don't need to train, Robin. I need to meditate."

"That's right. Meditation." Robin sneered, mocking Raven. Raven became slightly flushed with anger.

Twenty minutes passed, the comments became crueler and angrier. By the time the shouting had drawn Starfire into the room, the two teens' faces were inches from each other and both were running on more than enough adrenaline to start a physical match. It was only a matter of time before one threw a punch.

"THEN GO HIDE AWAY IN YOUR GODDAMN ROOM!"

"WHAT SHOULD I BE HIDING FROM? YOU?"

"THAT DEPENDS ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME?"

"NO! BUT YOU SEEM TO BE AFRAID OF ME!"

"Friends! Please stop before-" Starfire's words were drowned out by more shouted insults, none of which could be made out due to objects exploding and bashing into walls seemingly of their own accord. Just as a large spider web-like crack appeared in the window, the first punch was thrown. So soon afterwards, no one would be able to tell which teen had thrown it, only that this was the worst fight to have taken place between the two.

Rather than scrabbling in a way amateur fighters did, which prevented more injuries and let loose more frustration, the two began to fight as if they were truly enemies. Robin used shooting objects with black auras as landings to jump from place to place, dodging most of Raven's hits and throwing a few well aimed kicks himself.

The shouting and battle had finally brought up the remaining titans who stood in a doorway, shocked. For the time being, there was little they could do except wait until one got injured and the other lightened up a little. Starfire looked on the verge of tears and hid behind Cyborg's large form. Beast Boy stood a little bit a ways from where Jinx was gripping Cyborg's mechanical arm. Jinx stood on tip toe to half shout in Cyborg's ear.

"Shouldn't we stop them!" Cyborg thought for a moment before replying.

"We have to wait until they lighten up!"

"When will that be!" Starfire leaned over to Jinx and answered this awful question for Cyborg.

"When one of them becomes injured." Jinx bit her lip. Beast Boy was forced to jump into the air in order to dodge the gamestation which crashed into the wall low behind him. Jinx and Cyborg dodged apart from each other as a large chunk of the couch flew their way. At this point, a projectile gamestation controller hit its mark and sent Robin flying from his position on a floating portion of the couch. So far it was only about ten minutes into the fight and the other titans, plus Jinx, were slightly worried.

Robin hit the floor, landing on his back, and grunted loudly, but not before he bounced up and skidded across the carpet. Raven's eyes had been tinged crimson for so long by this time that it was a shock to her sideline bound teammates when they suddenly turned to their normal brilliant violet.

A little over half the floating objects in the room dropped suddenly. Robin got up quickly, but not quickly enough as the same controller whipped him in the stomach again, sending him crashing into a window, thankfully not breaking it. He leapt on top of and overturned table and into the air straight towards Raven, using her newly acquired black shield as another platform, almost landing a kick in her gut. Unfortunately for him, she moved at the last second and Robin's eyes widened as he effectively destroyed another table.

At this point, Robin finally came to his senses and, to end the fight, didn't get back up. Raven had a second controller at the ready, but dropped it when Robin didn't get up. In fact, everything dropped including the enchantress herself. The other teens, minus Jinx, rushed over to help. Raven hadn't moved since her feet touched the floor. Jinx walked over to her, but no one noticed, busy assessing Robin's bruises and making sure he didn't have a concussion. Robin had never given up to end the fight before.

Raven stared straight ahead and didn't seem to notice as Jinx walked right in front of her and stared into her unfocused eyes. Raven's right hand was raised, palm out about a foot in front of her shoulder, the fingers curled slightly. Jinx lifted her own left hand and put the palm against Raven's. Suddenly, Jinx's head shot up as well and the two girls stared straight ahead, not moving. Starfire was the first person to notice Jinx and Raven weren't with the larger group and looked over. Her eyebrows shot up. As she watched, both girls jumped and backed away from each other, almost angrily. Starfire frowned and looked to Robin who was trying to mediate the lunch tofu/meat battle, which was smaller than both the dinner and breakfast battles. Raven and Jinx continued to glare at each other silently. Starfire felt the urge to mediate like her unofficial boyfriend, but wasn't exactly sure what she would be mediating.

"Friends! Robin is right all and if I am correct, he will soon be announcing that we are to have pizza to devour for lunch and-"

"No thanks. I'm not hungry, Starfire." Starfire frowned at Raven. The two girls in front of her hadn't taken their angry eyes off if each other.

"Raven, you must eat. And Jinx, you must also." Starfire said firmly. Raven broke eye contact with Jinx and looked up at her.

"No. I am," She looked back at Jinx, "going to my room. I… I need to heal." She moved her cloak and indicated a large bruise on her thigh. Jinx grinned sweetly as she turned to Starfire.

"What kind of pizza are we having, Starfire?" Jinx spoke in a broad, slow tone, as if Starfire was stupid and wouldn't understand her. Raven narrowed her eyes, but Starfire wasn't phased a bit.

"All the kinds you wish! Raven, please stay and dine with us?" Raven shook her head stubbornly and walked out of the room right when Robin, as predicted by Starfire, announced that there would be pizza rather than a fight.

………………………………………………

"One medium vegetarian, large meat lovers, medium cheese, and a… small mint frosting and mustard." The delivery boy made a face. Starfire was slightly disturbed by his pimply face and greasy hair and clothes. This wasn't the kid who usually delivered, but Cyborg took the four boxes without hesitation. Robin handed over some bills and Beast Boy promptly shut the door.

Starfire floated beside Cyborg as he walked to the kitchen and pulled off the top box. Opening it, she shouted "Vegetan!" (vee-guh-tan) and handed it to Beast Boy who began to wolf it down. The next box she deemed as "pizza of cheese!" and handed it to Jinx. The sorceress was calmer and carried all the way to the table before beginning to eat. The next box was Starfire's own and she also put the box onto the table. Cyborg and Robin began to devour their meat lover's pizza.

Starfire opened her box and began to roll the uncut pizza (most of the employees are too afraid of the pizza to get close enough to cut It.) into a cylinder. Everyone else at the table besides Jinx stopped eating and began to look slightly sick as Starfire shoved the "pizza" into her mouth whole and swallow it. The three boys immediately began eating again, though. Jinx hardly seemed to notice, though who would if they lived (previously) with Mammoth and Gizmo. In fact, she was already on her second slice. Which isn't that much of a big deal if you think about it because Beast Boy was about half done with his and Cyborg and Robin's pizza was mostly gone. Starfire had just taken a piece of Jinx's pizza when Beast Boy suddenly stopped all activity.

"Where's Raven?" Starfire paused, pizza in her mouth, but then continued to eat.

"Star? You couldn't possibly know, could you?" Cyborg's augmented senses picked up her hesitation. Starfire finished chewing and swallowed.

"She said she needed to heal herself, and that-"

"Why? Did I hurt her?" Queue concerned leader Hedgehog hair.

"No, you did not hurt her severely, but she also said she wasn't hungry." Starfire splashed some mustard onto her pizza and began to eat once more.

"Is she ever?" Beast Boy said over a mouthful of tofu pizza. He swallowed. "I mean, you'd think she would eat more, but no! All she wants is herbal tea." Jinx tentatively raised her hand.

"I like herbal tea." Ignoring her, Cyborg added in his two cents.

"Dark girl is getting' skinny." He took the last piece of meat lover's pizza (much to the dismay of Robin) "Hey, speaking of skin, who wants to risk getting skinned alive and bring her lunch?" More than happy to get away from the table, Beast Boy stood and pulled two pieces of Jinx's cheese pizza onto a clean plate.

"I'll go."

"More power to ya." Said a disgruntled Robin, slightly out of character. (Apparently having the last piece of good pizza taken from right under your nose will do that to you.)

…………………..

Beast Boy finally stood in front of Raven's door. He had had the door slammed in his face so many times, though, he was hardly afraid to knock. But for all his bravery, though, no gray skinned girl opened the door to tell him to fuck off.
