Hey! Thank you all so much for reviewing my first chapter! I do so appreciate it!
And thank you all SO SO MUCH to whomever reviewed my last story, "Passion's Intensity". I'm so happy that it was so well received (even after all of the wonkyness)!

Big Thank Yous to: evilsangle, cutter-with-a-cause, SpolkaSpots, Cherry Jade, Evilevergreen(missed you too), Scott Okragleski, and Laughing Ranna, and a special thanks to DarienRavier (thank you so much for all of your input!)
cyberclock: well, even if your joke "sucked" (get it? hehehe), I still laughed! Thank you.
solitaire parker: your review in particular gave me happy-good feelings. Thank you. I try my hardest to stay as true to the characters as I can. I hope that shows later on.
--You ALL deserve huge cookies for being my first reviewers, But maybe for something special, how about cake and punch! –My treat! (hehehe)

---So, more coolness in this chapter I hope. And to those of you saying that I didn't do enough with Cy and BB in the last story, this one should not dissapoint!

Disclaimer: Just because you Titan's writers own the characters, doesn't mean that I can't toy with them in my own mind! Haha! A loophole!

Splitsville

Beast Boy and Cyborg smacked into the ground with a loud thud (and a clang for Cyborg of course). Cyborg recovered first and stood up, dusting off his frame and quickly popping out any dents he had incurred from the fall. He held out his hand to Beast Boy and helped him to his feet, "B, you all right?"

"Dude! Of course I'm not all right!" Beast Boy wailed, also dusting himself off, "I just got sucked into a black hole and spit out onto this gosh forsaken pile of dirt and I think I may have broken my toe!" He sobbed as he began hopping up and down on his right foot as he grabbed his left to examine it.

Cyborg rolled his eyes in disbelief. 'B's priorities can be so messed up.' "Man, shut up about your stupid toe! We shouldhave been crushed into a never-ending oblivion, so I think that's the least of your worries. What we should be worrying about is: where are we?"

They then took the time to actually survey their surroundings. Beast Boy was right. It did seem like all there was anywhere was dirt. There wasn't even any other color but brown, anywhere his eye could see, but Cyborg didn't feel like giving up yet. -When you have a chance to cheat death, you learn to use it to your advantage- He turned to Beast Boy and grabbed him roughly by the sleeve making him drop his "mangled" foot, "Let's go B."

"To where?" he asked flinging his head every which way to highlight his point.

Cyborg rolled his eyes again, "Anywhere, but here. Let's go."

"You expect me to walk with my toe broken like this?" Beast Boy complained pointing to his foot once more for emphasis.

In response Cyborg moved his grip to the back of Beast Boy's uniform and attempted to leave, dragging him along behind. "Okay! Okay!" Beast Boy conceded, "Just give me a minute!"

Cyborg propped Beast Boy back up on his feet and crossed his arms, thoroughly expecting Beast Boy to drop to the ground and cling for dear life. Instead, he morphed into a camel and motioned Cyborg to hop on his back. 'Okaaaay, well at least he can be cool sometimes.' With that he hopped on Beast Boy's back and they headed off into the "wild brown yonder."

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Raven and Robin screamed in unison as they dropped through the air and plunged into the depths of the ocean. They struggled desperately to claw their way out and once they surfaced, they treaded water in an attempt to remain afloat. Neither wanted to waste breath talking until they could rest firmly on the ground.

Robin peered desperately over the unceasing azure. He tried in vain to wipe from his eyes the saltwater that blurred his vision. Just before he surrendered to the endless sway of the ocean, he spotted a fuzzy blotch of gray in the distance. He motioned for Raven to follow him and started to swim like mad.

Raven couldn't see anything, but she trusted that her leader knew what he was doing. She had at first tried to use her powers to lift them both from the water, but failed at any attempt to produce the desired effect. 'I must be salt- waterlogged. Gotta add that to my "powers not useful when" list,' she thought dryly. So she started to swim in the direction in which Robin had indicated. Wherever they were headed, she knew that they would need to conserve energy in order to get there so she paced herself. A few minutes later she caught sight of the spit of land Robin had directed them to. From what she could figure, it was at least another mile or two before they would reach it. She could also tell that Robin was exerting too much energy way too quickly. She yelled his name repeatedly as she bobbed up and down to get his attention, but her words hung dead in the heavy air. She continued on in hopes of catching up to him. Though at the rate she was going that would be a difficult task.

She inched toward the expanse at an unbearably slow pace. It was almost too much for her that she couldn't use her powers to aide them both, so she tried once more to make something happen, but once again she failed. She was about to give up, but knew she could not leave Robin alone. 'Besides he'd come back for me anyway and probably drown himself in the process,' so she struggled on. Finally after what seemed like hours they were both within a few hundred yards of land. Raven had assumed correctly and Robin's energy was ebbing at an alarming rate. She soon caught up with him -as she had hoped, but not in the way she had hoped, and grabbed his cape, dragging him with her to the beach.

As she touched the dry sand she celebrated excitedly, but only in her head because she was using her last bit of strength to heave Robin ashore. She checked to make sure he was still alive before she fell to the earth, exhausted.

They were headed due west according to Cyborg's internal compass and it didn't take them long at all to find other signs of life. As it turned out, all they had to do was crest one large hill and civilization awaited them. It was a sight for their sore eyes, but it wasn't a good sight really. They had come upon a metropolitan city, but there wasn't much "city" in the city. It was fairly empty. The atmosphere had a ruddy tint and the vegetation was sparse at best. There were no people that they could see; upon further examination they found that there were no cars around either and every building looked well worn in, if not almost fully demolished. Really, it seemed as if there were no signs of life at all. "Wonderful," Cyborg sighed, his shoulders drooping, "We're gonna have to keep on going cause it doesn't look like we're gonna find anything here."

Beast Boy morphed back into his normal green form and started to shrink away from the city, "Dude, this is way creepy… I don't think we should be here!" He started to run when Cyborg grabbed the back of his shirt lifting him off the ground, leaving Beast Boy to flail about with spinning legs.

"Quiet! I think I heard something," Cyborg stated motioning "shh" with the index finger of his right hand. He set Beast Boy down hard on the ground in order to lift his left hand to his ear to listen more closely.

"Uh, Cy? I didn't hear anything. Are you sure you don't just have some screw loose or something?" Suddenly catching what he'd just said and finding it immensely amusing, Beast Boy doubled over with laughter. "Hahaha, screw loose! Hahaha…ahh." He smacked his knee several times and wiped a tear from his eye before rising. He shut his mouth and stood stolid as he caught a good look at Cyborg's unflinching face. A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out from an alley two blocks away. "Okay, I heard that!"

They ran at lightning speed to assist the endangered woman to whom the scream was attached. Cyborg shifted his armor to a battle equipped design, laser arm at the ready. Beast Boy morphed into a lion, claws out punching tiny holes into the earth. They turned the corner to see a young blonde woman, with her back pressed against the brick of a building and her arms above her head, cowering before a tall, black, faceless, knife-wielding cloak. She shrieked shrilly once more as the knife gleamed in the light of a streetlamp, prompting Beast Boy and Cyborg to lunge forward.

Before they could reach the girl however, a red-orange streak dropped from the sky. As it fell, it kicked the knife from the hand of whatever was clutching it and gave two quick jabs to its "face". The "streak" used its feet to push off of the brick wall behind it and forcefully dove forward, knocking the cloak to the ground. It then sat on top of the mass, knees on either side punching into its assumed gut over and over and over.

Cyborg could tell now that "the streak" was a girl, no…a woman, kicking this things ass and he started to cheer her on. Beast Boy shifted back into his "normal" self and stood with his hand on his head also gawking at the site. He elbowed Cyborg and mouthed "Dude!" as he motioned toward her. After she finished relegating her barrage of punches, she grasped whatever collar the thing had and pulled it toward her. She looked like she was about to say something to it, but instead forcefully threw herself forward and head-butted it, sending it sprawling completely unconscious.

After anesthetizing it to her satisfaction, she stood and brushed herself off. She then whipped out a small communication device and barked commands into it before offering her hand to the still cringing young woman. The woman quickly thanked her with a nod and ran off, brushing past Cyborg without one word.

The woman who had given the ass whooping barely looked up, but acknowledged the two boys with a wave of two of her fingers. They gathered themselves and walked toward her. Cyborg took mental notes of her clothing before he could even see her face. She was wearing tight red pleather pants that sat low on her hips and were tied at the front with a black string. They came to rest over two pointed shiny black combat boots. Above her waist, she wore a small red corset laced in front with the same black satin string. It showed off her toned muscles and abs and accented whatever she was blessed with up top. She was fidgeting with the cloaked villain and he could see her abundant red hair draping over her face. It was long enough to almost come to rest on the ground as she bent, but not quite. He saw also that she seemed off color, like she got a lot of sun, but not quite a "tan".

As they came closer she addressed them, "Could you two help me lug this guy back to the wraith chamber? There are three more that got out and I need to catch them before they hurt someone else," she turned toward them and in doing so, whipped her hair back over her shoulder to reveal her face. Cyborg was the first to notice, but soon Beast Boy also stood, frozen in shock. A pair of cat-like green eyes peered back at them and an eyebrow rose as she saw their expressions.

"Starfire?" came the mumbled utterance from both boys. Both of their jaws dropped and all they could do was stare in disbelief.

As usual, Beast Boy was the first to continue speaking, "Star where did you get that outfit! Have I made you watch Elektra too many times or something? And how did you learn to head-butt like that! That was so COOL!"

Cyborg was next, "Star!" he stepped forward to give her a big hug, "I'm so glad to see you girl! I was worried we would never see you or the others ever again!"

He was expecting her to be happy to see them too, so he was completely shocked when she yelled at him, "Let go of me!" She used her arms to break free of his grip and readied herself in a battle stance before she asked, "Who the hell are you? And how do you know my name?"

Oooooo, much plot to be revealed! Next update soon!

Once again, I love hearing from you all! Each and every "alert" makes my day!

Please review!
