Chapter Seven dedicated to DarkRavenna—

Here we are—chapter seven. I think last chapter was my biggest turnout, so keep the reviews coming! Trust me, reviews help push me along in the process, so, thanks to everyone who clicks the button. Now, onward ho! Review answers:

DarkRavenna: Without your support, this story would never be here. I'm just glad you're enjoying it—it has been a complicated, yet very fun challenge for me, because before this, I could count the number of times I wrote for my own pleasure on one hand. Ah, yes, our good friend Cyborg. With all of these new powers around, will he ever get used to them?

terraskewl, hannahbanana3809, Marfbag: Thanks!

Gryfffinrose: Poor Sasha...

Anonymous: I'll try to keep the mistakes to a minimum. Truth is, I'm a TERRIBLE speller. Without spell check, I donno... Sorry about the switch, but that's kinda what the story's about. Glad you like it though.

Steve-Racer: Probably, but Slade has a reality changer to back him up. (Muhahahaha—hack.)

Belated, but done.

Raidersrule76: Yay pranks! Thanks.

Well, continuing with the story... Sorry about the loooonggggg wait.

Reality Is Perception: Chapter Seven

We have to MOVE!

Beast Boy decided it would be best to call a team meeting, and go from there.

That's where he ran in to his first problem.

He tried to activate Raven's clasp by doing various things. First touching it, then banging it, then jumping on it, and finally slamming it against the table.

Nothing happened.

Raven walked up behind him. "Like this."

She pressed, and held. A small holographic screen popped up in front of them.

"Ohhhh... Thanks Rae, ya know how—" Beast Boy stopped abruptly, and did a double take.

"RAVEN! You're awake—"

"Yes, for about five minutes. I tested out my powers while you attacked my clasp. They're the same as yours."

"But how did you know what my powers were?"

"I can read minds. You should know."

Beast Boy smiled a sheepish grin. "Oh, right."

"Well, I thought you were going to call a team meeting?"

Beast Boy pressed a button on the clasp, and Raven's communicator started blinking next to him. "Done."

"Well team, It seems we're stuck. If Slade wanted to, he could erase us from existence." Robin paused. "Fortunately, Slade has been nicoooooooooeeccccc—"

Robin curled up on the floor in a fetal position.

"Friends! We must help Robin! He is in pain, no?"

"Nah, Star." Cyborg looked mildly amused. "I've run a scan. His genetic makeup doesn't allow him to use 'nice' and 'Slade' in the same sentence."

"Oh."

"Well, moving on. Beast Boy and I seem to have a handle on our new powers—" Raven was interrupted by Beast Boy.

"So, in the words of our leader, currently not able to say them," He changed into Robin. "Titans, Go!"

"But we still do not know the location of our enemy." Starfire added.

"Now we do." Cyborg was punching buttons on his arm. "2600 Feet below the business district."

The Titans took off. Cyborg in the T-Car, and Robin on the R-Cycle, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire flying. Both Raven and Beast Boy were getting a taste of each others flying styles; it had taken Raven three tries to get the hang of pterodactyl flying (Beast Boy: "See, it is an art!") and Beast Boy had pulled a Starfire when first levitating off (Switched). But now on there way, things were running a lot smoother.

That's when Beast Boy decided to bring up his conversation with Slade from earlier.

'Guys, you there?' Beast Boy tried to talk to his friends through telepathy. He looked down. It appeared Cyborg had just about swerved into a ditch. 'You Ok, Cy?' Beast Boy asked. Cyborg replied, in a quite shaken thought. 'Sorry, BB. I'm just used to hearing Raven's voice in my head, not yours.' (Beast Boy's and Raven's thoughts are in their own voice.)

'What is it Beast Boy?' Robin asked.

'Well, I kinda had a little conversation with Slade, earlier today. I did something that may give us an edge.'

'I'm impressed.' Raven commented in a sarcastic tone.

'Hey!' Beast Boy sounded annoyed, but he continued anyway. 'Slade doesn't know my new powers—or Raven's'

Silence.

'I think what they're trying to say is "Great job, Beast Boy, I didn't think you had the mental capacity!".'

Raven didn't notice the street light encased in a glowing black aurora flying up behind her.

Clang!

'I'll get you for that Beast Boy,' Raven muttered, wincing as the egg shape grew on her pterodactyl forehead.

Robin butted in, trying to pull out of the acquired moment. 'Well, good job Beast Boy. I think will give us an edge.

The Titans all climbed in the T-Car for the subterranean dig. Once they were all packed in, Cyborg pressed a button on the dash, and a large drill rose up out of the front of the car.

Then, all of the sudden, it happened.

Pop!

The Titans looked around. All of the pedestrians were dressed in Slade like clothes, and the Titans looked down at themselves. Cyborg's armor had gone from its normal blue, to a Slade orange. Robin was wearing his Apprentice outfit, and Starfire was now wearing a large black sweatshirt with the Slade logo on it, with orange sweats. Beast Boy's cloak had gone from dark blue to Slade orange, and Raven was styled in a black tee shirt, with orange baggy pants.

"SAY WHAT!" Cyborg shouted. "It's one thing to want to take over the world. But now Slade wants us to dress like him? NO WAY, MAN."

"We need to hurry. I have a feeling Slade's about to show us phase two," Robin said.

With that, the T-Car revved, and pushed into the ground.

No doubt, at that moment, the five Titans were unsure about what the future might bring.

I like this chapter the least so far. Suggestions for chapter eight? R&R..

PS- I couldn't picture Starfire in sweats; and that's why I wrote it: I cracked me up. If someone is very bored, draw it up, and post a link in your review (I have chocolate chip cookies!).
