Chapter 2: Mixed Feelings
The Teen Titans ran around town looking for Mumbo Jumbo, but he seemed to have disappeared. Beast Boy turned into a basset hound and sniffed the ground only to shake his head at the group.
"He's not here…" Beast Boy said changing back.
"How can someone just disappear?" Robin asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Robin's hands clenched into fists and he punched a nearby wall. The wall crumbled only to reveal what looked like a school.
"'Ello my little duckies." A familiar voice called out.
Everyone looked around, but saw nothing. Beast Boy smirked and walked inside only to find a TV screen pop out from the wall hypnotizing the green one on the spot.
Beast Boy's mouth dropped wide open and drool slipped down his chin and onto his shirt. Cyborg sighed and punched the TV breaking it instantly.
He walked up to Beast Boy and grabbed his ear, "Burp…"
Beast Boy blinked a few times shaking his head slightly laughing. He looked down at his shirt and wiped off his drool.
"Dude! Not again!" Beast Boy said angrily, "Why does this always happen to me?"
"It's because you have a tiny mind…" Cyborg commented.
"Dude, I so do not have a small mind…"
"That's what you think, but the machinery back at the tower shows that you do."
"That's not true…" He said almost sad.
"I'll show you when we get back."
Beast Boy frowned not wanting to talk any further. He looked around and thought for a second.
"Hey…weren't we just in the city?"
"Yeah…I think Mad Mod is back…"
"What? You mean that freak that always seems to hypnotize me…"
"No…it's that one that always hypnotizes you…" Cyborg said sarcastically.
"Why do you have to do that?"
"Because it's fun…"
"It isn't to me…" Beast Boy said sadly.
"So my little duckies…have you come here to learn…"
"We've come here to stop you!" Robin said angrily taking out his retractable staff.
"I'm afraid you won't get away this time."
"I would have to agree with you on this on…" Mumbo Jumbo said coming out from the darkness.
"Mumbo Jumbo and Mad Mod…working together? Now I have seen everything…" Beast Boy said confused by his own words.
"Tiny brain…" Cyborg whispered into Beast Boy's ear.
"Dude! I don't have a tiny brain!" Beast Boy said angrily.
Mad Mod, Mumbo Jumbo, and the whole city disappeared. The training room soon appeared and Beast Boy and Cyborg looked around.
"If you're going to be in battle, it would be best for you two to pay attention." Robin said angrily.
"Can you please tell him to quit saying I have a tiny brain?" Beast Boy said his arms waving in the air.
"But it's the truth. Come on I'll show you…" Cyborg drug Beast Boy to the Infirmary, "Ok…now sit still and watch the screen."
Beast Boy sat still and watched as Cyborg placed suction cups on his forehead. He then turned a few dials on the screen and what it showed even made Beast Boy yell.
"Dude that is not my brain!" He said angrily.
"Yes it is!"
"Dude, I don't have a hamster running in a hamster wheel for a brain!"
"The screen never lies man…sorry…"
"Well…it is now!" Beast Boy said angrily taking the suction cups off his forehead and walking out of the room.
The screen also went blank showing nothing. Beast Boy doubted that he had a hamster for a brain, but he wasn't exactly sure. He even started to think Cyborg was right.
"I am not going to think that way! Cy isn't right!" He said.
Meanwhile, Cyborg chuckled taking the small camera from the hamster cage. He looked back at the screen and laughed even louder wondering what thoughts were going through Beast Boy's head.
"I can't believe he fell for it…" Cyborg said to himself.
"Who fell for what?" A familiar voice asked.
"Beast Boy thinks he has a hamster for a brain…" Cyborg said knowing who the voice belonged to.
Raven shook her head and walked away leaving a shaking Cyborg. The teen telepath walked to Beast Boy's room finding him sitting on his bed; his head resting in his hands.
"You do know it was a trick, right?" She asked walking towards him.
"Huh? What was a trick?"
"Your brain being a hamster…"
"Oh…that…yeah…I do…"
Raven perked a brow and let out a sigh, "You shouldn't let him bother you like that."
"But I'm not…"
"Beast Boy…yes you are…You let him find your weakness and he's using that against you…"
