"What the hell are you talking about? She walked up to you and said 'Hi, I'm Mike's sister!'"

"So you're saying it's a little weird that I asked her out?" (A very similar situation to this happened in real life between two of my friend. None of the names have been changed to protect anyone, sorry Mike.)

Chapter Two

'Freaking owww…' Was the first thing Beast Boy thought as he awoke.

He opened his eyes and saw the sterile white of the medical bay ceiling. He was resting in a medical bed covered in sheets of the same sterile color. Beast Boy hated all the white. It was too plain, almost as if the lack of color sucked all happy emotion out of the room. Then again, they were only ever in there when they had been injured in such a way that Raven could not heal it; and it had to be fairly sever if it was something that Raven could not heal.

Something felt different. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but it felt as though all of his senses were dulled. Almost like he had a stuffed up nose and hands covering his ears. He also had a splitting headache. He didn't think much of it though; he'd had minor concussions before that bore similar symptoms.

He rolled on his side to find Cyborg with his back facing him. He seemed to be recording the readings from a monitor next to another medical bed.

"Owww… Dude, did anyone get the license number of that truck?" Beast Boy asked.

"Good to see you're still you're cheery self." Replied Cyborg.

Beast Boy was starting to get up but Cyborg ordered him to lie back down.

"Before you start moving around, we need to talk." He said with an air of seriousness in his voice.

Beast Boy's mind began to race. 'Crap! Something's happened! Did Mumbo suck someone into his hat? Is somebody hurt? What happened to Raven?'

"Where's Raven?"

"She in here."

"What? Is she ok? Did she get hurt?" Beast Boy franticly asked trying to see past Cyborg's large frame to see the bed behind him.

"Chill B, she's fine. More or less anyway…" Chuckled Cyborg.

'More or less? What the hell is that supposed to mean?'

Cyborg placed his hand on Beast Boys shoulder and gently pushed him back down to the bed. Beast Boy gave up his futile attempt to see if Raven was in the bed that was obstructed from view by his metallic friend and looked at his face.

Cyborg sighed and continued. "Just calm down a little, everyone's fine. Something happened when Mumbo attacked you guys." He jerked his head over his shoulder to indicate Raven. "I think he sucked both of your powers out of you with that hat of his but something didn't go as he planned."

"And that would be?" Best Boy questioned.

"Well, me blowing his damn hat into confetti for one." He smirked but his expression returned to that of his serious one again. "You and Rae were really close together when it happened and your powers went flying back at you after the hat was destroyed. I don't know how it happened but it must have something to do with the fact that you were both so close to one another."

'Why won't he just say what happened? Quit dancing around it!'

"Dude! Just spit it out! What happened?"

"Well…" Cyborg's words failed him so he just handed Beast Boy a mirror.

Beast Boy knew something wasn't right the moment he pulled his hand out from under the sheet to take the mirror. It was deathly pale and gray instead it's usual green. Gulping he raised the mirror and peered into it. Staring back at him was a gray skinned face with short, dark purple hair and eyebrows to match. His face looked very similar to the way it usually did but it was as if he was a page in a coloring book that had been incorrectly colored. His ears were not pointed and it seemed that his canines had shrunk because he no longer had his small fang protruding from his mouth. Centered on his forehead was a small diamond shaped gem that was a deep shade of crimson. The only thing that he found vaguely recognizable as his was his dark emerald eyes that were now agape in shock.

The now pale Titan tried to speak but no air passed his lips. All he found he could do was stare at the stranger staring back at him. A slim tendril of black energy stretched out form the red gem that was embedded in the chakra of his forehead and came in contact with one of the fluorescent lights in the ceiling, causing it to fracture into tiny shards immediately.

Beast Boy let out a short yelp in surprise and the medical bay came alive with dark energy. Drawers and cupboards flung themselves open releasing the medical supplies contained within into the air. The sheets on the empty bed on the other side of his leapt out of place and went sailing toward the windows while the pillow exploded raining feathers down throughout the room.

"BB, you have to calm down or you're going to hurt someone!" Shouted Cyborg.

"I-I can't!" Beast Boy cried, having just regained his voice.

The situation in the medical bay was only getting worse as Beast Boy was becoming more rattled by what his uncontrolled powers were causing. Cyborg grabbed a plastic case that had been previously flying through the air and quickly opened it. He drew a hypodermic syringe from within and inserted it into one of the bottles of sedatives the case contained and grabbed Beast Boy's arm.

"Sorry man but I gotta." Said Cyborg before he plunged the needle into the pail flesh and injected its contents.

Beast Boy's frantic eyes stopped darting around the room and he looked at the syringe being drawn from his arm. His quickened breathing slowed and his eyelids became heavy. Everything that had been spinning around the room dropped to the floor with a clatter. The only thing that remained in the air was the blizzard of feathers that were slowly drifting downward.

"This could be a problem…" Muttered Cyborg as he surveyed the wreckage that was once the medical bay.

:-:-:-:-:

Raven rolled over on her side but clenched her teeth and inhaled sharply. She kept her eyes shut but moved her hand carefully down her side under the sheets. There was a long piece of gauze tapped from the middle of her ribcage right down to her hip. Why hadn't her powers kicked in while she was unconscious? Unless… Right, Mumbo. He'd really stolen her powers then. But she was being cared for now; that either meant that they'd beaten Mumbo and needed to find a way to return her powers, or Mumbo forced the Titans to retreat and he was at large.

She didn't really want to find out either way right now because she had a skull splitting headache and there seemed to be unnaturally loud noises coming from everywhere. The smells of her surroundings were also quite strong: The sterile scent of antiseptic, the strong scent of body odor, and something almost unbearably fruity.

She opened her eyes a little bit and spotted Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire sweeping feathers and broken glass into garbage bags. The sweeping sound the broom bristles made, the scraping of feet against the floor, and the tinkling of the glass shards were far too loud and only contributed to her headache.

"Do you guys think you could try and keep it down?" Raven mumbled in a croaky monotone.

"Friend Raven!" Starfire squealed as she dropped her broom.

The broom clacked on the floor and created a noise similar to that of a gunshot. Raven clamped her eyes shut and thrust her hands over her ears.

"Please keep your voices down!" She urgently whispered. "I have a huge headache and loud noises are not helping."

Starfire clasped a hand over her mouth and slowly drifted in mid air to Raven's bedside. Robin and Cyborg stood silently and watched. Withdrawing her hand, the auburn haired Titan spoke in a hushed voice that was faintly above the shadow of a whisper.

"Friend Raven, something has occurred during our battle with the Mumbo…"

Raven was suddenly struck with a wave of that fruity scent. Was that Starfire's lip-gloss?

"And he's taken my powers?" She replied in a voice that was equally hushed.

"No. We were victorious in combat with the Mumbo but we were unable to prevent him from removing your powers from your body."

'He removed my powers but he doesn't have them?'

"So where are my powers now?" Raven asked.

Starfire started but could not even form the first word. Robin spoke quietly from the foot of her bed where he and Cyborg stood.

"Something happened Raven. We're not sure how to reverse it but we'll do everything we can."

Raven sat up to face him and opened her eyes. The expressions they wore were ones of concern and uncertainty. She turned to Starfire who was resting on the edge of her bed and a lock of dark green hair fell across her face.

'Stupid hair.' She thought as she brushed it away. 'Wait… Green? GREEN?'

She looked down at her hands and found that the skin that covered her arms was a similar shade of deep green.

"Wh-What?" She spluttered. "M-Mirror…"

Starfire cautiously picked up a mirror that lay on the bedside table and handed it to her. The image she saw shocked her. What she saw was a dark green skinned female with even darker green hair. She reached up and felt the center of her forehead with her now green hand. The spot where she would normally have found her chakra gem was bare. She traced her hands through her hair and felt the ears that the green tousles concealed. They were pointed and almost elflike.

Raven's mouth fell open at what she was seeing and she found yet another new development. The canines on both her upper and lower jaw and grown slightly, giving them a fanglike quality. The only thing that did not seem completely alien on her face was her eyes that were both still a deep violet.

She lowered the mirror and looked at all of her friends speechlessly. There was just too much happening, too much happening that couldn't possibly be happening. The hand mirror slipped out of her loose fingers and her body fell back to the bed.

"Cyborg, what happened?" Robin urgently asked.

Cyborg read the monitor next to bed. "She fainted."

:-:-:-:-:

"So what are we supposed to do?" Asked Robin. "We can't just keep Beast Boy sedated."

"I know man but you didn't see him. He was tweaking out. I'm surprised the mess in the med bay is as minor as it is." Said Cyborg.

"At least Raven's condition isn't destroying anything."

"Should we not just keep Friend Beast Boy calm as he awakens? When I dwelled in Raven's body, I learned that to control her powers, your emotions must be controlled. We must simply keep Beast Boy in a relaxed state and the powers should not pose us a problem." Said Starfire.

"Well, yea." Robin agreed. "But how are we supposed to keep him calm right now? I think the situation gives him plenty of right to freak out."

Cyborg sighed and sat down on the disheveled bed next to Beast Boy's. This was going to be tough.

"How are we supposed to keep Beast Boy calm? He's not exactly known for being reserved." He stated.

"We'll think of something. How long until those sedatives wear off?"

"We've still got a couple of hours at least."

"Let us hope Friend Raven will wake before Beast Boy. It may be possible for her to train him in controlling his newfound powers." Suggested Starfire.

Just as Starfire finished her sentence, the person in question stirred with a groan.

"Please tell me it was just a bad dream." She muttered in a quiet voice.

"If what you were referring to is your change in appearance Friend Raven, it saddens me to tell you that it was not."

"Ugh… Fine, whatever, I don't care. Tea. Get me out of here, I need a cup of tea."

Raven tried to rise but was reminded of her injury as a sharp pain shot up he side. She fell back to her bed and sighed. Without her healing powers, this was going to be a long recovery. Starfire quickly moved to her bedside.

"Allow us to assist you! You have been injured."

"Yea Raven." Cyborg stated. "You got a pretty bad cut from a jagged piece of brick when you were knocked down."

Both Cyborg and Starfire helped Raven to her feet being careful of her injury. Before they turned to the medical bay's door however, Raven caught sight of Beast Boy. She stopped and stared at him. Hey lay unmoving and half covered in sheets in the medical bed next to hers. The sight was odd to her. As if she'd stepped into a dream world where everything was reversed.

"Is he ok?"

"Physically, yea, nothing wrong with him. But your powers started up when he saw himself and it just got worse from there on in." Said Cyborg.

"Oh." She simply replied.

She turned to the door again and her friends assisted her.

:-:-:-:-:

She tipped the mug back for the final time and drained the last of its contents. The tea helped her think more clearly, even though it tasted stronger than it should. This would take some getting used to. Beast Boy's animal senses were greatly heightened in comparison to hers and everything she heard, smelled, and tasted felt like it was coming in ten times stronger.

Was this what Beast Boy experienced every day? All the sounds were almost deafening! The high-pitched buzz of the florescent lights, the shuffling of feet on the floor, and the scraping of utensils on plates. Those were only the sounds she could identify! There were dozens more that she couldn't identify for her life. The smells were equally as powerful; the burning of the stovetop element, the steeping tealeaves, and the ever present scents that followed each of her friends.

Raven's train of thought was disrupted by a question from the Titan's leader.

"Do you have any idea how to get Beast Boy to quickly get control of your powers? We can't keep sedating him every time he wakes up."

Raven sighed. "I'm not sure this can be done quickly. It took me the better part of my childhood to get them under control. Even now I have occasional slipups."

"That's not what I was hoping to hear." Stated Robin more to himself than the others.

"The best thing we can do now is just keep him calm. Only one person should be around him at a time until he gets used to what's happened."

"Good idea, but right now I don't think we can do anything to help him. Only you really know how your powers work. Do you think you can try to keep him calm by yourself?" The masked Titan asked.

"Sure. You're thinking that I should try and coach him before he gets into more… Emotional atmospheres?"

"Exactly."

:-:-:-:-:

Beast Boy woke up and opened his eyes. It was dark, really dark, but he could tell that he was still in the medical bay. He was relieved to find his headache was almost completely gone and he rubbed his forehead. His hand brushed over the diamond shaped gem.

"You have got to be kidding me." He muttered under his breath.

"No. It looks like this is the way things are for now."

"Rae?"

Beast Boy looked around the room but found it was too dark to see anything but shadows. Something in the next bed shifted and sat up. It then stood and walked over to his bedside.

'Stupid darkness.' Beast Boy thought. 'I can't see a thing.'

"About what's happened, you just have to stay calm. It's happened to me too." Raven said gently.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" Beast Boy asked starting to get worked up.

Raven smiled a little in the darkness.

Beast Boy felt as though a wave of warmth washed over him. He was confused and just looked at Raven through the darkness. She placed a hand on his to calm him down.

"I'm fine. But you have to stay calm, those powers start working overtime when you get worked up."

"What the hell was that?" Beast Boy asked.

"What the hell was what?" She asked in a steady and calm voice.

"I-It felt like some kind of heat blew past me." He stuttered, rubbing his arm.

:-:-:-:-:

"What happened to you? Are you alright?"

A small smile graced Raven's green lips and she couldn't help but feel a small wave of happiness flow through her.

'He's worried about me.'

"I'm fine. But you have to stay calm, those powers start working overtime when you get worked up." She gently told him.

"What he hell was that?" He asked looking in her direction.

She could see almost perfectly in the dark room but she could tell that he could barely see her. He was looking in the direction of her face but his eyes weren't focused on her.

"What the hell was what?"

"I-It felt like some kind of heat blew past me."

'Some kind of heat? Oh.'

"That's probably emotion. I used to be empathic."

"Oh." Said Beast Boy still rubbing his arm because of the strange sensation. "Wait, used to be?"

'Uh oh, this may work him up.'

"Yes." She said. "But before I show you, you have to stay relaxed. I'm fine, you're fine, and no one was hurt, ok?"

Beast Boy gulped but nodded.

Raven stood and walked over to the light switch.

'Here goes nothing.' She thought as she flicked the switch.

I'm sorry! Please stop beating me! It just seemed like such a good cliffhanger of a place to leave it. What did you guys think of that one? I had a tough time describing how Raven perceived things through Beast Boy's senses but I think I turned out pretty nicely.

The only sacrifice for this chapter was a 2-litre bottle of Coca Cola but he stepped up to the call without hesitation. Mourn for him for he was the bravest of them all. I salute you Mr. 2-litre!
