Enchanted Mind of the Blackbird
Chapter Seventeen:
Showdown at Titan's Tower
"Hmm... How to do this... how to do this..." Beast Boy mumbled to himself as he gazed up at the cloudy night sky as if it would give him an answer. He wasn't coming up with a plan in his room, and well, he wasn't getting one on the roof either. He brought his cigarette up to his lips and took a long drag. He blew the smoke out and scratched the bridge of his nose. He should probably quit smoking but one problem at a time.
When he left Rae's mirror he wasn't on the best of terms with her emotions. He should probably fix that... yeeeah... He took another drag on his cigarette. Okay, that was the millionth time he'd come up with the conclusion. Good God, he was stuck in an infinite loop of repeating himself... Okay, okay, he'd just go into Raven's mirror again and fix it. Easy. So... why did he have a feeling it would be anything but that? Well there was the whole problem with Robin... he'd most likely go looking for Beast Boy go get some revenge or something, act like the ass that he is... oh and there was Raven and the fact that the mirror led into her mind. He was probably lucky to be alive right now and here he was coming up with a plan to put his life in danger again. Wow, he really didn't learn anything from his stupid antics. That also had to change, but again, one problem at a time.
Now, he knew his problem, but how was he going to solve it? He shifted so he sat more comfortably. He couldn't just waltz into Rae's room and go into her mirror, she'd kill him. Or could he? He took one last drag on the cigarette as he stood up and put it out. Maybe his answer was in the... well not the kitchen.
Beast Boy closed the last of the kitchen cabinets and cursed. He was sure that bottle of Nyquil was in one of those cabinets. Go figure that someone would clean the kitchen at the worst time possible. He walked to the nearest bathroom and searched those cabinets. Nothing. And to make matters worse as he left the bathroom he walked right into Robin. An angry Robin.
Beast Boy had just enough time to tell Robin to watch when a green fist connected with his chin and cut the it off. Because he was unprepared for the attack he lost his balance and hit the wall. He pushed himself back on his feet cursing loudly. For a powerless teen Robin sure had some power packed into that punch.
Anger finally having it's way with Beast Boy; he attacked Robin back, kicking him square in the chest. The blow shoved Robin backwards. Robin launched forward with a battle cry and tackled Beast Boy to the ground and from there it went into a pattern. Punch, punch, roll over, punch, punch, roll over... and then they rolled down the stairs. Well Robin did, Beast Boy transformed into a bird and took flight.
Robin got to his feet and Beast Boy transformed back and punched the boy wonder. Robin ducked and pulled out his bo-staff. Raising an eyebrow, Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla and grabbed the bo-staff as it came towards him. Easily pulling it out of the boy wonder's hands he then took a swipe at him. Robin back flipped, almost dodging the attack but not quite. Beast Boy's large hand clipped one of Robin's legs and he went rolling to the side.
The longer the fight went on, the more desperate both parties became. Robin has resorted to using his explosive discs and Beast Boy started transforming into bigger, stronger animals.
Robin grunted as he jumped out of Beast Boy's way. The green Titan had transformed into a rhino and had charged at him. Pulling out another explosive disc he threw it and missed, so now a large chunk of wall was missing. Cyborg was going to have a shit fit when he got back from where ever he was. Beast Boy transformed into and elephant and picked Robin up with his trunk and flung him into the opposite wall. Beast Boy threw him hard enough that he left a partial indent in the wall.
Robin slowly got to his feet and Beast Boy morphed back into human form. There was a moment of silence and Beast Boy thought it was over, but then Robin lunged at him. Beast Boy side stepped it and kicked him in the back. Robin stumbled forward, turned around and punched Beast Boy, actually making contact this time.
"ENOUGH!"
All the while they were fighting neither teen noticed that they had ended up on the ground floor and that someone was standing in the front door. They stopped and looked at an unhappy looking Starfire.
"Uh, how long have you been standing there?" Beast Boy asked, wiping the blood coming from the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. He noticed Robin do the same.
"Long enough to wonder why I bothered coming back. I left in hopes that when I returned all would be better, but instead I come back to the place I once called home to find my two very good friends engaged in battle." Starfire said. The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence and Beast Boy and Robin exchanged glances. Then it hit Beast Boy, why the hell were they fighting? Things were such a mess.
"Look, I'd love to stay and chat, but you two need to work things out and I've got stuff to do." Beast Boy announced. And with that he turned on his heel and walked away. He hoped that Starfire and Robin used that time to actually work things out and he really did have stuff to do. The list was growing and his problem with Robin was currently at the bottom of that list.
After searching every bathroom in Titans Tower, he gave up and walked to Raven's room. He'd been planning to knock her out but if he couldn't find the Nyquil than that idea was pretty much shot. So entering his room as quietly as possible he snuck over to Raven's mirror sitting in the place where he first found it. Careful not to pick it up, he sort of leaned over it and with another flash of bright light, was gone.
