Notes: Hey, I'm back, yet again with another chapter. I would have updated sooner, but I have a major project to work on...it's called the Senior Research Project.
(Warehouse)
Machine looked at the only girl member of the gang with wide eyes, before he burst out laughing, "You actually did that?"
"Hey, he scared me," Aqua shrugged, "I was only trying to defend myself."
"You should have seen Blackjack's face," Shad jumped in and then imitated the look, a strange look of surprise and anger, "She nailed him right in the eye!"
"Talking about me," a voice asked suddenly and the three turned to find Blackjack standing a few feet away. His hands were full of bags and he dropped them on the floor.
"So what if we were," Aqua replied, not caring that Blackjack looked angry, "What did you get?"
"The usual," Blackjack told her, "Food, some extra clothes and other things."
Aqua turned to Machine, noting the confused look on his face, "Every time we rob a store or something like that, Blackjack will go out the next day and get some stuff. I can't go, because they think I'll steal something." She pointed to her blue hair, "And Shad forgets what we're supposed to get. We learned all that out the hard way."
Shad groaned at the reminder, "That wasn't my fault," he brightened suddenly, "Get my candy bar?"
"Like you need it," Blackjack said, but tossed the bar of chocolate in Shad's direction, "He has enough sugar in his system as it is."
"At least it gets him to shut up," Aqua stated, glancing at Shad, "For about a minute."
Shad glanced over at the group, "Want some?" Everyone immediately shook their heads and he happily went back to devouring the sweet.
"I will never understand him," Aqua looked at Shad strangely, "Anyway, I don't think I want to."
"Everybody deserves a second chance," Machine told her.
(With the Titans)
"I do not see Beast Boy anywhere," Starfire's voice came through the communicator.
"Of all the days for him to be smart and leave his communicator behind," Raven commented.
"Are you implying that you might actually miss BB," Cyborg asked.
"No, I'm only implying that he might actually have half a brain," Raven responded.
"Can you two stop it," Robin's voice questioned, "We have something more important to do."
"The fact that Beast Boy can change into any animal doesn't help," Raven said, "He could be anywhere and we wouldn't know."
"He wouldn't stay in animal form for too long," Cyborg replied, "He'd only do that in serious situations."
"Is this not a serious situation," Starfire asked.
"Yes it is," Robin told her, "but he means that Beast Boy probably wouldn't stay in animal form in daylight. Green animals would look too unnatural in the city."
"So he is probably hiding out somewhere," Starfire said.
"Exactly," Robin replied, "We just have to figure out where."
(Raven's mind)
"Where is he," Rage yelled, "I'm gonna kill him."
"Killing Beast Boy won't do anything," Intelligence commented.
"Cyborg already doesn't like us," Timid spoke up for a rare moment, "We caused Beast Boy to go away."
"We didn't do anything," Denial said, stepping forward in her cloudy blue cloak, "We're not responsible."
"I miss BB," Happy said, sounding much unlike herself, "He used to make us laugh. He was nice to us. He noticed us."
"Stop acting so glum," a black cloaked Raven, Sarcasm, told her, "That's Timid's job. One of her is enough around here. We don't need two."
"Stop, all of you," Intelligence yelled suddenly, "We need to help Raven think. We all know that we want Beast Boy back."
"Yes, we do," a new Raven stepped out, a purple cloak swishing at her ankles, "We all do."
