Poor Twisted Me Chapter 6

Hello again. Mud here. Time to answer reviews!

Rukato86- You saw that too? Oh my god, I was laughing my ass off when I saw that. Whoever came up with that was pure genius. Yeah, Raven probably wouldn't be too happy. That's why I stopped there.

Chaotic pink chocobo- Whoa! Chaos, pink, and chocobos all in one? FUNNESS!!!

Moezy-chan- yes, he can be resurrected, and you'll see why...once I'm done answering reviews. I know, I have a mild case of manic insomnia (that's when it's kind of on and off) so don't lose too much sleep, because it'll really suck ass the next day.

Kestrel- Hey! You can speak Latin? That's cool! I'm stuck with stupid Spanish ^_^ Can you say this in Latin: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Sanity-Stealing-Lawn-Gnome- Weee! You went to Kentucky? Hope you had fun ^_^ did you have fried chicken there? Fried chicken is the best.

Princess Cat- Oh, that's what brownie points are. How'd your brother get those for feeding a cat? I don't even have a cat! Well, I did, but it tried to kill me ^_^ Thanks for reviewing!

Metallikid- I'll take your word for it. I could try to throw the Frayed Ends of Sanity in, but there will be a lot more references in the future, e.g. Orion and Metal Militia. I'm trying to work in the Call of the Ktulu, but I'm not sure how I could throw it in without messing up the story. And I saw you at the BBRaven Haven! You're a shipper already! God damn it, I'm still a rookie. Anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Scarlet68- Dude! Are you a fucking mind reader? Holy crap! You just predicted this whole chapter! That is some scary shit right there. And what do you mean by 'that evil guy by Lyrim'? That part kind of confused me. And you'll see what part Slade has. He's dead, but that's the whole point! Read now and you'll see. Mmmkay.

Warprince2000- holy crap! Do you just paste what you want to say onto the review? Cuz this is getting kind of funny. But you are my reviewer so I still love you all.

On with the story!!!!! Oh wait, I forgot an exclamation mark. ! There we are.

Oh yeah, the initial fight scene sounds a lot better if you listen to 'Down with the Sickness by' Disturbed as you read it. Hella awesome song.

-Titans Tower-

Fenrir rancorously stared at the Titans as he circled his targets. Cyborg readied his sonic cannon as Raven and Starfire formed a protective circle around Robin. Beast Boy tensed up, nervously awaiting combat.

The apprehension was let loose as Fenrir leaped in a huge bound at Raven, claws outstretched.

Beast Boy let his primal instincts overtake him as he reflexively transformed into a tiger. Leaping towards the airborne hound, he tackled Fenrir in midair. They collided like one mass of mutated creature and landed on the floor. Beast Boy sunk his fangs into Fenrir's back, yet was unable to penetrate the thick skin. His adversary, however, had no trouble piercing his thin layer of fur.

Beast Boy roared in pain as Fenrir slashed him brutally across the chest, causing the shape shifter to lose his grip on the hound. But before Fenrir could execute his killing blow, a beam of blue and green knocked him into the wall as Starfire and Cyborg combined their efforts.

Fenrir leapt to his feet before the two could strike again. He roared with all his might, making the Titans clutch their ears to shield themselves from the deafening sound.

Raven was unaffected by the terrible beast's bellow. "Azareth Metrion ZINTHOS!" she yelled, and a black pillar of dark energy enveloped Fenrir. Struggling, against his might, Raven managed to hurl him against a wall before he was able to break the bond. The sheetrock crumbled before Fenrir's weight, leaving a decent sized hole in the wall.

"Perfect," she mumbled sarcastically under her breath. Cyborg and Beast Boy stood closer to the blighted Robin, fearing that the demonic hound would attack him first.

Starfire unleashed a volley of starbolts on the cloud of dust Fenrir should have been, making their house erupt in a more furious storm of debris and smoke, blinding the Titans.

Fortunately for them, Raven sensed Fenrir's presence, veiled in the barrier of smoke.

But before she could react, the hellish beast had bounded almost gracefully towards them, and latched onto Cyborg's cannon with his teeth.

"Argh! Get off!" Cyborg yelled, trying to shake Fenrir off. The creature held his place, and sunk his teeth deeper into the complex mechanics of the hybrid. Although Cyborg was fortunate enough for Fenrir to bite the mechanical portion of his arm, it still hurt like hell.

"Azareth Metrion Zinthos!" he heard, and Fenrir was yanked off of him by a black aura. The demonic creature struggled harder this time, and was able to break the telepath's mental bond. Raven ducked as Fenrir leapt towards her, his claws grazing her back. At first, Raven thought she was unharmed. Then she felt blood slowly sliding down her back where the claws had scraped her.

Beast Boy shifted into the form of bull and charged at Fenrir. The demonic hound was just recovering from his rebound when the bull's horns struck him. He skidded back a couple feet and leapt at the green bull. Beast Boy knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, hoping his horns would encumber an attack. They didn't. As Fenrir tore the top of Beast Boy's back, wounds opened up like chasms. Beast Boy roared in pain, and transformed into turtle before those rendering claws could deal the slaying blow. Fenrir's fangs crunched against the hard shell, impeding any penetration.

Cyborg's cannon was rendered inoperative, so it was up to Raven and Starfire to exterminate the apocalyptic demon. Right after Fenrir bit down on the green turtle, Starfire sent a torrent of starbolts aimed at Fenrir. But the creature's high-string reflexes allowed him to roll away nimbly, like a cat. Instead, the starbolts struck Beast Boy.

Providentially, Beast Boy remained in turtle form long enough to withstand the blasts. Starfire yelped and rushed over to Beast Boy's side, expecting him to be harmed. Raven looked for Fenrir, as he had disappeared from sight.

"Raven!" Beast Boy yelled from the still-clearing smoke, and dove at Raven. The Azareth ducked, but saw that Beast Boy was not aiming for her, but rather the demonic creature leaping towards her. She watched as the still normal Beast Boy tackled Fenrir, sending them both flying out the window.

She ran over to the window from which they had fallen, and watched in horror as the two clashed as they fell. But she saw Beast Boy change at the spilt-second before hitting the ground, and she saw a green eagle soar gracefully above the scene.

Fenrir, however was not so lucky; instead of sprouting wings, he had focused too much of his attention of his fight with Beast Boy. Thus, when Beast Boy transformed into an eagle, Fenrir found himself facing a pile of rocks.

Very sharp rocks.

Beast Boy and Raven watched as the demonic hound impaled himself on a rock formation, leaving his body stuck on it like a spear. Raven looked on queasily, trying not to look at the blood of Fenrir coating the formation as well as the surrounding areas. Holy shit, it was gross.

"Eeeeeeewwwwwww!" Starfire said as she rushed over to Raven's side. She covered her eyes with her hands, doing her best not to stare at the abhorrent scene. But she found herself peeking through her fingers; just to make sure he was dead.

"Shit...that hurt..." Beast Boy said as he returned from his eagle form. He wobbled, and then fell into Raven' arms, asleep from exhaustion. Raven didn't wake him or push him off; rather, she held him closer and carried him to his room.

Cyborg went "Awwwww..." as he watched Raven carry the green shape shifter away. He was suddenly reminded of his painful condition when his entire right arm went haywire.

"Son of a bitch!"

Starfire ran over to him and began comforting him. As the night progressed and the Titans slept, all seemed at peace.

Looks can be deceiving, however.

As they all tended to their nightly affairs, unbeknownst to them, something began happening to the creature they presumed dead.

The body of Fenrir lingered on the sharp rock formation, until a soft chorus began circling around him.

"Wake from your slumber of death, Fenrir...rise from the ashes...become reborn...more powerful than before...kick the Grim Reaper in his sack...stay up late, Insomniac!"

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself from throwing that in there)

The loose skin covering Fenrir began to shift around, as if there were billions of worms crawling under his skin. The leathery skin expanded like a balloon, until the skin popped, sending a mass of blood and guts everywhere. From the remnants of his body, a new Fenrir rose from his own carcass.

'Come to me, Fenrir...' the demonic hound heard in his head. He wanted nothing more than to tear those humans to tiny shreds, but he knew the master was speaking. So he resisted his vengeful instincts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I see you had some trouble, Fenrir," Lyrim said coolly. He was situated on top of a mountain overlooking Jump City, holding two vials and a body Fenrir recognized as his first kill on this plane of existence.

Fenrir roared ferociously, signifying displeasure. Lyrim laughed.

"Worry not Fenrir; you will be able to slay them in the most painful way possible. Once the time comes."

Lyrim ignored the next roar, and instead placed the body perpendicular to the shadow of the moon. One minute to midnight. It was almost time.

The moon soon aligned itself perfectly, denoting that it was midnight. Lyrim laughed malevolently, and poured the contents of the two vials onto the body of Slade Wilson.

"Body of a criminal...blood of a hero...ashes of the bicentennial...Orion, return from the underworld!"

Fenrir watched keenly as a red and black hole in the sky formed. It swirled demonically, until an anchor shot out from the hellish portal. The anchor shot through the body, impaling Slade's carcass. It kept going, as if were retrieving something. It was.

The anchor stopped descending a few seconds later, and began slowly ascending like it had caught something. Although he could only see the head at first, as the whole being came into light, Lyrim shuddered joyfully at the pure evil of it.

It was more demonic than Fenrir, and much bigger. It did not come entirely out of the ground; chains coming from the earth tied its arms together, keeping it bound to the earth. But what did show were about ten stories tall, with its bound arms extending the length of two Greyhound buses. Like something out of the stories, it was as demonic as the Dark Lord himself. It was chained because the spell book said that unchaining it for a second would allow it to destroy all existence.

Its wings were much like Fenrir's except they were like arms with folded skin, much like a bat's. Claws poked out of the top arc and could gut a tank open like a fish. The wings rested on top of its shoulders, which were broad and hard; not even Fenrir would be able to penetrate its adamant skin.

Its body was about as thick as twenty sequoias and sported a layer of scales. What was interesting about the scales was that they were each living creatures, ready to shoot off of it and attack any living thing.

Instead of a head, it sort of had an elongation of a neck. A splitting mouth filled to the brim with uneven, rendering teeth, and it had two huge, prying eyes that could see through anything.

Overall, it was pretty fucking scary.

Lyrim held his hand out towards the unearthly fiend and commanded, "Orion!"

The creature, which evidently was Orion, averted its piercing gaze to its summoner. It roared a raspy and haunting roar that held the screams of a million tortured souls, connoting a reply.

Lyrim felt proud of himself. He pointed to the city resting over the hilltop commonly known as Jump City.

"Destroy! Destroy it all! Burn every building, kill every soul!"

Orion shook his head. In a petrifying and ghastly voice, it said, "Sandwich first! Then kill!"

Lyrim was rendered speechless. Here was a creature that could bring about the Day of Reckoning, wanting a fucking sandwich!

Exasperatedly, Lyrim conjured up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich using his powers. Orion stuck out his tongue, extending like a chameleon's to reach the sandwich.

Lyrim could hear chewing as Orion ate the sandwich. The apocalyptic creature laughed and said,

"Now kill!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A mysterious, cloaked figure looked on in horror as the small, bearded man summoned the creature he feared most. And it was his entire fault, for he was the one who summoned the man in the first place.

"I must redeem myself...but how?" he said to himself. He began thinking.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While Robin was off dreaming in La-la land with Shania Twain and Elmo in the mountains somewhere, he began to hear distant explosions, followed by panicked screams and cries.

He bolted awake and realized he was awake. He ran over to the window and, to his horror, saw frenzied mobs of people running around, most running away from the furious wildfires that were sweeping the city. Robin was still hypnotized by the colossal towers of flames when he saw a blast of pure dark energy collide with another building. This was not the kind of dark energy that Raven used; this was true, sheer evil energy that cried the cries of all of Hell's inhabitants, that froze your soul and threatened to never thaw it out.

Robin's gaze was averted to the source of the energy: an apocalyptic, truly terrifying creature that stood anchored to a hilltop off in the distance. Although it was bound to the earth, it still managed to kill, firing off blasts of that spiteful energy from its right eye.

Before he could react a round of the dark energy had hit the Tower. The ensuing shockwave knocked him off his feet and the Tower began to crumble away. But as quick as he had been knocked off his feet, Starfire, still clad in her nightgown, swept him up. She flew nimbly out of the still broken window, followed by a green pterodactyl carrying Cyborg.

"Where's Raven!?" Robin asked frantically. Starfire pointed her left toe below them, and to his relief, Robin spied Raven gliding erratically below them.

The five embittered friends flew quickly out of the city, doing their best to avoid being hit by those blasts of dark energy.

"What are we doing running away?! We need to help!" Cyborg yelled. Robin agreed.

Raven replied, "Do you honestly think we can take that thing!? Fighting it would be beyond stupid; it would be fucking suicide!"

Everybody was surprised by Raven's language; it was not like her to curse. But it didn't stop them from gazing depressively at the blaze that consumed Jump City.

"Let's at least put out the fires!" Robin said. They all concurred.

Raven used her powers to blow the cap off of a fire hydrant. She directed the cascade of water at any building within its radius. Which was actually quite far, since she managed to put out quite a few fires.

Beast Boy landed and set Cyborg down as he transformed into an elephant. He sucked some of the water out of the same fire hydrant Raven used and sprayed the water onto any nearby building.

But before the other Titans could help, an all-too familiar roar echoed across.

"It can't be..." Robin began to say, and jumped into Starfire's arms as she took off.

"It is..." Raven said, and flew away with all her speed. Beast Boy didn't realize what everyone was looking at until he saw the last thing he wanted to see.

Gliding through the pillars of smoke and debris was none other than Fenrir, this time sporting bat-like wings.

"I thought we killed him!" Beast Boy said before retransforming into a pterodactyl, carrying Cyborg in his talons.

"I did too!" Cyborg complained. Raven then yelled, "Look out!"

Beast Boy ducked and swooped sharply, narrowly avoiding Fenrir's macabre claws. The demonic hound followed, banking sharply to avoid a flagpole sticking out of the side of a building. Beast Boy turned upwards sharply, almost losing Cyborg. Fenrir continued to swoop like him, gaining every second.

Raven began to say, "Azareth Metrion..." before a blast of dark energy from the creature on the hilltop knocked her into the ground. She landed in an area of the park and lay unconscious in the grassy area.

"Raven!" Robin and Starfire simultaneously yelled. Beast Boy hesitated a mere second to see if Raven was okay.

But a mere second was all Fenrir needed.

The airborne beast slashed Beast Boy rapidly all over his body, opening up dozens of deep cuts. Beast Boy staggered in his flight, but Fenrir was too quick. The demonic hound latched onto his back, pushed Cyborg off, and stuck his fist into Beast Bo's back. A hole you could have stuck a Coke can through appeared in Beast Boy's back.

The green shape-shifter fell like a sack of bricks. Down and down he fell, and Robin and Starfire could only watch in horror as he and Cyborg approached the ground with quickening speed.

They didn't look; all they heard was a sickening thud. Starfire ran over to Beast Boy's side and yelled, "No! Beast Boy!" as she held his head

But it was no use. Starfire hung her head in sorrow as she suddenly felt Beast Boy become...very cold.

Starfire had seen death before; but watching her friend die in her own arms was too much to bear. She erupted into a torrent of tears, not caring about Fenrir or that horrible creature...she didn't care.

Cyborg was lucky enough to have landed on a thicket of bushes, thus sparing him from any serious damage. He ran over to his fallen comrade, but was unable to accept death.

"No! He can't be dead! Beast Boy! You can't be dead! Wake up!" he yelled, tears silently streaming down his face.

Their grieving was interrupted by Robin's screams off in the distance. They turned their heads and saw Robin being gripped in an aura of dark energy, held by the demonic beast bound on the hilltop. Robin struggled against the grip, but suddenly...stopped. In fact, all his movement had stopped. The black energy that had been gripping him was released, and he too fell silently, motionlessly to the ground.

Starfire yelped and flew as fast as she could to her fallen friend. She caught him before he hit the ground.

It was of no use. There was no heartbeat.

Fenrir landed in front of Cyborg, taunting him. The infuriated hybrid growled, fueled by his rage and sorrow of his deceased friends. He blindly swung at Fenrir, who nimbly leaped aside. Cyborg tried to blast him with his sonic cannon, but realized a bit too late that it was broken.

As Fenrir leaped at Cyborg, the hybrid's life began to flash before his eyes. His birth, his first bike ride, and his transformation into the half- robot he was today- all passed by until those claws made contact with him, dying his vision red.

Lyrim smiled as his comrades befell the Titans. He looked happily at the grieving Tamaran and thought to himself, 'She is living proof that death is the ultimate liberate liberation. She feels nothing but pain. What better way to rid her of her pain than rid her of her life?'

As Lyrim slowly walked towards his target, he motioned for Fenrir to let him kill this one. Reaching the anguished girl, he held his hand over her head.

"Enlightened rule of the dead is preferable to the misguided failures of the living, miss Starfire, as you will now find out."

His hand glowed black and Starfire slumped over without another breath. As she lay lifeless on top of her departed best friend, as the last bit of warmth left her, as her last thought echoed, as her heart beat its last beat, she was too blind from her own anguish to even notice her own departure.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lyrim laughed evilly at the chaos he had caused. The whole city in ruins, he turned to Orion.

"Orion!" he commanded. The homicidal creature turned his head and answered, "What?"

"We are done for now. You may sleep."

Orion gave one last terrifying roar before disappearing into the ground. Lyrim glanced at the bodies of the Titans. Knowing that it was not over, he took out a piece of paper and wrote something down on it. Lyrim motioned for Fenrir to follow him, and the genocidal pair hurried back to their lair, leaving the skeleton of Jump City.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The shady cloaked figure that had been watching Orion's reign of blood stealthily walked over to the City's late heroes.

"They have not been dead too long. I can revive them," he said to himself, the hood masking his lips' movement.

He raised his hand and began chanting incomprehensibly. A white aura burst from his hands and enveloped the entire City. As the luminance settled in, all the dead bodies and charred buildings woke up from their bereavement, as if they had only been sleeping.

Beast Boy's eyes slowly opened and he saw the bloody hole in his stomach disappear. The green shape shifter continued observing as all his gashes closed up, and he was able to breathe again.

"Dude...how the hell..."

As the other Titans woke as well, they all began asking the same question: "What the hell had just happened?"

Raven, who had been the only living Titan, rubbed her eyes as she returned into consciousness. Resting on one knee, she saw the white glow around her fade, and turned her head to see who had revived them. Upon seeing who it was, she groaned, "Oh no..."

The cloaked person fell to one knee. Waking a thousand dead really took its toll.

Starfire pushed herself off Robin and rushed to the kneeling person. "Was it you who woke us?"

The figure nodded under his head. As Robin studied the mysterious person, his gaze was averted to a piece of paper lying on the grass. No, it wasn't paper; it was papyrus. The masked leader picked it up and read it silently. He frowned at what he saw, and tucked it into his pocket for later studying.

Cyborg rubbed his head as he too arose. "Oooooh my head. I was just in a really hot place that had fire everywhere and little red people poked me with sharp sticks..."

The cloaked person stood up, having recovered, and addressed the entire group, "My name is Izevm...I am here to help. Orion cannot be defeated by any normal means. I wish to aid you in getting rid of him." He lowered his hood; revealing a pale, yet weathered face. He had deep, black eyes and ear length jet-black hair.

Raven, whom was still kneeling, suddenly turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, and suddenly became very interested in an obscure blade of grass. If you looked really closely at it, you could see a tiny hole in the blade of grass.

Robin walked over and shook Izevm's hand. "We'd be glad to have you help us. As you probably noticed, we didn't have too much luck escaping, let alone fighting it."

Izevm shook back. "Robin, right?"

"That's me."

"Interesting..."

Beast Boy frowned. Something about that name Izevm rang a bell. And Raven's behavior was a bit unsettling. There was just something about this guy he didn't like.

Izevm walked over to Raven. She did her best to ignore him.

"Raven...how long has it been?" he asked gently. Raven couldn't keep silent, and said, "Not long enough."

"Why must you still be so spiteful?" he asked, a tone of hurt in his voice. He held out his hand to her. Raven felt guilty for hurting him, so she took it. Izevm pulled her to his feet and gazed longingly into her eyes. Raven didn't look back.

Beast Boy was positively fuming; you could literally see the smoke coming out of his ears.

Oblivious to Beast Boy's jealousy, Cyborg walked over to Izevm and said, "Since you're going to be helping us out, why don't you stay at out place?"

"No!" Beast Boy and Raven yelled simultaneously. Robin considered it, and said, "Sure, why not."

"But..." Beast Boy pleaded. He suddenly grew angry with Robin. Sure, Izevm may be helping us defeat Orion, and he may have brought everybody back to life, and may have restored the city...

Ah, hell with it. Beast Boy couldn't think of a reason for him not to say that didn't involve him or Raven.

Starfire walked over and said, "Let us return home to celebrate our newest friend!"

'Newest friend my ass...' Beast Boy spitefully thought. A thought resonated in his head, 'I heard that.'

Shit. He could read minds too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Robin, what does that paper say?" Starfire asked as Robin pulled a parchment out of his pocket. Robin frowned and said, "That's what I'm trying to figure out..."

"Let me see," Starfire said, and peered at the piece of paper. It read:

I have been watching you.
If you wish to find my location's identity,
Evil will be the key.

A fallen emperor will begin your quest,
Atbash will continue, but not the rest.
Keep in mind of or relating to a line,
And a French cryptologist will prove the worth of your mind.

M-M-U-Q-C

"This is very confusing," Starfire said as she finished reading. Robin nodded and said, "I know...it's all too cryptic. Those last letters are obviously what we want to decode, but the rest is too confusing."

The two continued looking over the paper for a while, just glad to be in each other's company again.

Meanwhile...

Raven headed into the shower. One, she needed it, and two, she wanted, or rather needed, to be as far away from Izevm as possible.

See, when Raven still lived on Azareth, Izevm was her neighbor. They had been best friends ever since they first met. But as they aged, they became...more than friends. But it didn't work out very well, since Izevm was constantly summoning monsters. So, she did what any girl in a relationship would have done in her place.

Izevm was heartbroken. Soon after, he disappeared, never to be seen again. Raven felt guilty; she knew it was her fault.

But still, he acted like nothing had happened. On the flight back to the Tower, he had even tried to hold her hand. She wanted to slap him, but instead shook him off and flew further away.

He was a pervert as well; with every passing second near him, she became more and more convinced dumping him was the best possible choice.

She stripped down and turned the faucet on. She stepped into the shower stall and sighed as the hot water caressed her back.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Beast Boy plugged the cord into his guitar from his amplifier. He tested it, making sure the sound was what he wanted, and began playing "Angel of Death" by Slayer.

With the distortion maxed out and the volume moderately loud, it didn't take long for Cyborg to complain about being too loud.

"Beast Boy! Will you shut the hell up?!" Cyborg yelled over the din of Beast Boy's playing. When he didn't, Cyborg walked over to him and pulled on his earring.

"Oww!! That fucking hurt, you stupid..." Beast Boy trailed, clutching his now bleeding cartilage. Thank god he didn't pull on the bolt in his eyebrow.

"Now shut up!" Cyborg yelled. Beast Boy groaned and said, "Gee, glad to see you love me too."

He ran over to the bathroom to find something to impede the bleeding. He opened the door and grabbed a paper towel from the stack that had been resting on the counter.

"Ow ow ow ow ow," he said as he tried to stop the bleeding. It was just then he realized that Raven was in the same bathroom as him.

"Beast Boy! What the hell are you doing!?" Raven screamed frantically from the shower, and tried to hide herself from the eyes of the green headbanger. Beast Boy jumped, unaware of her presence, and couldn't keep himself from staring at her.

"I'm taking a shower! Do you fucking mind!?" she yelled, and telekinetically threw him, literally, out of the bathroom. He landed on his ear.

"Shit, that hurt," he said, taking no notice of the blood on the floor from his cut ear.

'Dude, was I just in the same bathroom as Raven?' he said to himself, and found himself replaying that scene over and over again.

"How about knocking next time?" Raven's voice said slightly irritably. Beast Boy turned around and saw her standing in the doorframe with a bathrobe on.

"Sorry...ow, shit...about that," he apologized, wincing at his painful wound. Raven lost all her annoyance and knelt down next to Beast Boy.

"Are you...okay?" she began to say, and then saw his gash. "Oh my god! What happened?"

"Cyborg pulled on my earring," Beast Boy said. Raven frowned, then smiled slightly as she put her arm around him. "How about you and me go get revenge?"

Beast Boy snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her in tighter. "Sounds good."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Okay! Sorry if it was a little long. Okay...

Next time: Raven and Beast Boy get their revenge on Cyborg! Oooh, what will they do? Also, Izevm continues to flirt with Raven. But instead of getting mad, Beast Boy uses his head and decided to serenade Raven...on the guitar! Get ready for major fluffyness! Robin tries to break the code, but when Starfire reminds him of a past obsession, he realizes what's important. DOUBLE FLUFF!! Hell, I'm an overachiever ^_^
