Hi! Sorry it took so long to update, but school has been trying to suck out my soul. Luckily, my work load has gone down considerably so I can work on my stories and art. Thanks a lot to the encouraging reviews, you give me the confidence to keep posting my stuff.

A bit more play with the characters, trying to flesh out the characters a bit more. That's about it, enjoy!

Chapter Two

"Booyah! You're goin down!" Cyborg yelled as his fighter gained the upper hand. Robin had to admit, Mega Warrior 5 was a bit more exciting than his game, but he personally preferred Mega Warrior 3. Beast Boy's tongue was sticking out as his fingers raced over the controls. The masked leader wondered how much friction was needed before the controller went up in flames.

"That was a cheap shot Cy, you're gonna pay for it!" The green changeling growled.

"Friends, this excitement is surely building up your appetites. I will begin preparing breakfast," Starfire said, jumping up and over the back of the couch. For one second the boys' eyes met. Starfire's cooking had improved, but her attempts at being creative with the food had resulted in many long nights hunched over the throne.

"I'll give you a hand with that," Raven's book closed and she stood up. As she walked over to the kitchen two controllers dropped to the floor. Raven…was helping Star…with breakfast? Everyone knew that morning was leave-Raven-alone time. She was gathering herself for the day ahead, her mind focusing and ridding itself of any emotions.

Starfire was delighted and quickly began talking. He might have imagined it, but Robin could have sworn he saw a small smile playing on Raven's lips. As the boys stared at the girls no one saw the mutated worm Silkie crawl over and start chewing on BB's controller.

"K.O.!" The sound brought the boys back and they whipped around. Beast Boy's dark green fighter was standing over Cyborg's fallen warrior, foot firmly planted on its chest, arms raised in victory. There was silence for a few seconds.

"YES! Victory is mine!" Beast Boy jumped up and did his patented victory dance.

"No way! That doesn't count!" Cyborg roared, his eyes falling on Silkie, who was wiggling away as fast as his tiny legs would allow.

"How does it feel to be beaten by a mutated maggot?" Robin asked, trying his hardest to hold in his laughter; he was sure he had already busted a few ribs.

"My fighter beat yours…that means I win!" Beast Boy said with the manner of an adult telling a child why one plus one equals two, though with an almost maniacal grin on his face. "You know what this means cyber man, you have dish duty for the next week!" Beast Boy laughed and returned to his dancing.

Robin wondered if he would have to restrain Cyborg from beating Beast Boy over the head with the controller. 'No, he wouldn't want to hurt the controller…' Robin mused. He looked over at the girls. He was surprised by what he saw. He had expected Starfire to be giggling and Raven shaking her head. The two female Titans weren't even watching them. Raven had her hand on Starfire's shoulder and was saying something quietly to her. The Tamaranian girl looked sad and depressed, but her companion's words seemed to comfort her.

Feeling pressure on his lap Robin looked down and saw Silkie making himself quite comfortable. He raised an eyebrow as the mutant larva let out a contended sigh as it curled up and closed its eyes. He sighed and looked up to watch as BB and Cy continued to argue, absentmindedly stroking the napping mutant on his lap.

"Breakfast is served!" Starfire announced rushing over to the couch. She nearly let out a squeal when she saw Robin petting Silkie who was cuddled up in his lap. It was perhaps the most adorable site the Tamaranian had ever laid her eyes on.

"Great," Robin smiled, gently moving Silkie onto the cushion next to him. "All right you two, knock it off."

The bickering friends both looked over, the love of food overtaking the love of videogames for a few seconds.

"Yes, tofu waffles, breakfast of champions!" Beast Boy smiled, flexing his muscles and strutting over to the table. Cyborg followed behind, muttering under his breath.

All through breakfast the two squabbled over the game. Robin had half a mind to declare Silkie the winner and make them both do dishes together for a week. 'Yeah great idea Boy Wonder, if you want to go out and buy all new replacement dishes by mid-week.'

"Please friends, why not share in the task of washing and drying the dishes?" Starfire asked. Everyone went quiet and the quarreling duo stared at her like she had five heads.

"No way, I declare a rematch!" Cyborg said.

"Anytime, anywhere!" Beast Boy retorted.

"Right here, right now!"

"Fine!"

"Will you at least finish eating first!" Robin interjected.

"Yes, you will need your strength for the battle ahead," Starfire added.

"And give the rest of us time to vacate the immediate area," Raven said, taking a sip of her herbal tea.

"Oh Raven, do wish to join me on a trip to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked smiling.

"Sure."

For the second time that morning the boys were silent, jaws hanging open.

"What? I need a new book," Raven said.

"Glorious, I will grab my things!" Starfire exclaimed, picking up her empty plate and depositing it in the sink. Practically skipping she left the room to go get ready. Raven also cleaned up her area.

"Don't destroy the Tower while we're gone," she called over her shoulder as she also departed.

"Okay, anyone else freaked out?" Beast Boy asked. Cyborg nodded.

"Aw come on, what's so strange about Star and Raven spending some time together? Robin asked.

"Nothing, when they're just meditating or working out in the gym. But…Raven doesn't do the whole girly 'lets go shoe shopping!' thing," Beast Boy countered.

"All right, enough stalling. I want a rematch now!" Cyborg said. The two rushed over to the couch, sending Silkie running for the hills. Sighing Robin cleaned up the breakfast leftovers and headed to his room.

'Someone should get some work done today,' he thought, his mind wandering to a stack of case files he had been neglecting. 'Guess it has to be me.'

Ok, before you start ranting, Raven is OOC for a reason! Consider it foreshadowing. I'm in the process of writing the next chapter. Its filled with actiony goodness!
