Tenshi: stares at screen
Bob: Do I want to know?
Tenshi: nods. We did it! We really did it! I can die happy now!
Bob: You want me to help you along with that?
Tenshi: glare. Shut it mister, not even you can ruin my day! We hit triple digits! Triple fricken digits!
Bob: Uh huh… well, just goes to show how many people were dropped on their heads as babies.
Tenshi: BOB! He didn't mean that people, really!
Bob: mutters. Yes I did.
Tenshi: He's just sore about the whole 'rollercoaster' thing. Just ignore him. We really luvs you all – sniff – we just cant say how much…
Bob: Really, we cant – it's illegal here in Florida.
Tenshi: O.o Riiight. Review Responses at bottom, again. Dang it's sad when they are longer than the chapter… have to make this chapter extra long or something.

Breaking Point
by TenshiJaki
---
"Not all people are annoying – some are dead." – Anon.
---
The rest of Sunday passed quietly, the idea of Monday however weighed heavily on Robins mind.
You see he already had plans made for Monday and they involved a certain Mayor of Jump City. They also, unfortunately, included the rest of the team as well.
When he had made the plans Robin had been worried about Beastboys behavior, perhaps even Stars, but now he had something completely different to contend with.
And he knew it wouldn't go smoothly if the morning was any indication.
---
They had all been sitting down to breakfast (1) when Raven had suddenly stood up and announced, "From this day forth you shall all call me 'Conquistador Raven', or simply 'Conquistador' for short." After that she resumed her breakfast, ignoring the looks she was getting from the others.
---
And so here it was, early afternoon, and all of the Titans were in the Mayors office waiting for their meeting with him.
As they waited with the Mayors secretary, Betty, they amused themselves with the magazines and other various reading materials left around the office for such purposes.
"Crrrrrooooooooooooaaaaaaaaak"
Cyborg looked over at Robin. Robin looked back at Cyborg. Both wore long suffering looks that clearly read, 'oh crap, why gods, WHY!'
"Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"
Beastboy looked around the room puzzled, as did Star. They hadn't seen any frogs around, and certainly not in the Mayors office.
"Cccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkk"
Raven was staring in concentration at the air in front of her. She was randomly shaking her head as though disagreeing with someone.
"Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"
It was about this time that Betty decided that she had to investigate. Getting up she started looking all around the office trying to find the obviously dying frog.
"Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"
Beastboy and Star started to help with the search while Robin and Cyborg just put their heads in their hands wincing every time the noise was made. Which was increasing in its occurrence.
"Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"
Not to mention length.
"Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ack"
Raven looked up at Robin who was holding a rolled up magazine which he had just used to bat her over the head with.
"Raven-"
Raven just shot him a look, "Eh hem."
Robin sighed, "Conquistador Raven, knock it off!"
Raven just gave him the 'puppy' look, "But Herb wants to know just how slow I can make a croaking noise!"
"How slow you can… that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!"
Raven just looked at him, then at the air next to him. Nodding she looked back at Robin, "Yeah, well Herb says it's not as stupid as your uniform."
Before Robin could vent any farther the doors to the Mayors private office opened and the elected official motioned them inside.
---
When they were all seated the Mayor addressed them, "I assume you all know why I called you here?"
To this he received one nod, three blank looks, one amused smirk and a partridge in a pear tree… er- sorry. It was really a mocking bird. Why was there a mocking bird and a pear tree in the Mayors office? Well, if we told you, we would have to kill you, so let's just leave it alone.
Noticing the blank stares, and being a little creeped out by the smirk, he decided that an explanation was in order, "Well, as you may or may not know, we have a new department working here in the office, the DOPC (Department of Political Correctness). Since we received so many complaints, not to mention lawsuits, from people who felt they were 'infringed' on in someway or another we felt the need for some 'changes'." He punctuated 'changes' and 'infringed' with little hand quotation gestures. (2)
"Now, we know that you are heroes, and that some 'toe stepping' is inevitable in your 'positions' but we do have a list here that we would like you to go over so you can try to 'fix' certain 'things'." He continued with the hand motions every time he stressed a word, and it was really starting to bug Raven.
"Please keep in mind that these aren't 'complaints' against you, just helpful 'suggestions'." Raven could feel her old friend 'Twitch' coming back, as well as her smirk growing larger. It was really unfortunate that the others didn't notice.
"Now, here is the list that I would like to go over with you. First we have a complaint, that is, a 'suggestion', from the GABJC, um – that's the Grandmothers Association for the Betterment of Jump City. This is actually addressed to Robin and Beastboy. They would like the two of you to consider not wearing such 'revealing' pants. Apparently they 'feel' it is giving young ladies the wrong 'idea' or something or other."
Twitch.
"Now this next 'suggestion' is from the ALJC, Animal Lovers of Jump City. They find some 'offense' in Robin and Ravens names. They are under the 'impression' that it could possibly lead to people wishing to possibly 'injure' certain birds, seeing as how you two are often involved in physical 'confrontations' in your line of 'work'."
Twitch. Twitch.
"This next complaint, I mean 'suggestion', is from WRCJCC, that is to say the Women's Right Club of Jump City College. They find that some of their members are slightly 'offended' by Starfires outfit. They hope that you might 'consider' putting on more clothing, or at least something that 'covers' more."
Twitch.
"Now that leads us to this one from the ROJC, The Religious Association of Jump City. They don't have so much as 'complaint' as an 'appeal'. They are hoping that Raven would consider attending 'services' at a local congregation. Apparently the thought of her being part 'demon' worries them a bit… Seeing as how it is your 'job' to prote- What are you doing!"
Raven was more than annoyed. Not only was this pansy telling them what to change about themselves but he wouldn't stop 'quoting' with his hands! It was driving her mad. Hn, now there's a thought.
Getting up she used her powers to 'hold' (hehe) his arms to his side and keep him immobile while she worked. Now, as we have learned previously Ravens cape has many pockets, each pocket holding a different item. Two guesses which item she pulled out. And if you said rubber chicken, dang, we want your imagination.
Raven took out the duct tape and proceeded to wrap it all around the Mayor. Stepping away from him she nodded in satisfaction. While he was gapping at her open-mouthed she merely smiled, "You may continue now."
Robin didn't know what to do; on one hand she had just assaulted the Mayor, on the other he kind of agreed with her. Shooing her away from the man he took out a bird-a-rang and started cutting the tape away from him.
Raven just looked on, a little miffed; so much good tape gone to waste.
Once Robin had the Mayor freed he started to apologize profusely, "I'm terribly sorry, she didn't mean it – she's been –uh –unwell. Are you alright? Do you need anything? Can I-"
Raven rolled her eyes and interrupted, "Kiss his butt? That is what you were going to ask isn't it?"
Robin just shot her a glare while he continued to help the Mayor. When he was finally tape free he went to stand behind his desk, as though it might save him should anything else happen. Trying to reassure Robin that he was fine he smiled to them all, "No harm done, I'm sure Ms. Raven here was just having a bit of fun."
Said Ms. Raven just gave him the evil eye before adding, "That's Ms. Conquistador to you!"
TBC… (buzz... attention: fluff next chapter - you have been warned. that is all...)
(1) – what the heck is up with my obsession with meal times? Everything starts or ends with them at the dinning table. Really, this isn't intentional… it just always turns out that way – though none of you have said anything – I have to complain about it… that's sad – its my own story! Gah! – On that note, none of you ever have to flame me – I am my own worst flamer. (Geez that sounded wrong.)
(2) – for added fun read this part with a friend. Make sure they do the 'mayor' and add little quotation hand gestures where called for. You might get a visit from friend twitch and/or friend headache… at the very least friend annoyance and/or friend amused will make a visit.

Bob: That was a stupid chapter.
Tenshi: sigh. Maybe, maybe not… our old friend twitch came back though…
Bob: That was one of the reasons it was dumb.
Tenshi: One of the reasons?
Bob: There are many…
Tenshi: If you didn't like it then I suggest you do a better job next time!
Bob: HEY! Don't blame this one on me!
Tenshi: Yep, all your fault… and vacations… now I have to get my mind back on this baby.
Bob: See, give Tenshi a week and it affects her mental capacities.
Tenshi: O.o
Review Responses (For both 12 and pre-13)
Overactive Mind –OMG – I am so sorry… Bob got away from me for two seconds… dunno where he got the gun… he's mad that I don't use all the ideas he has – he's gotten into a very 'random' mood lately – better get out the whip again. Hope he didn't traumatize you to much – hehe – I got him back… rollercoasters – fun and evil at the same time.
Fully clothed you say? Hmm… maybe… dang they are sneaky. Getting into your n-dimensional sinuses and all. Thanks much matey! Arrg – want to see POTC!
Django X – You can imitate the Box Ghost? Hm… that could be either very amusing or terrifying… Billy and Mandy would have been fun – dang, I should have thought about that before I let them escape. Ever notice that Mandy sounds like Raven? Well, in a more bitchy way of course… Yep, Bob's forehead reads 'XognajD' He has had several people ask him if it's a new energy drink or something. Yes, remarkably Bob does resemble a fat Tibetan man, well, on a good day… as for the money he just steals mine! Whaaa! Thanks :)
Elizabeth – Ah! You know the rollercoaster of doom of which we speak… hehehe… You went on the wooden one? The duel one? Umm… Kawazi? Had to think of the name lol. We went on that one to – but you have to get the good side, which is the tiger – the lion side sucks – dunno why. That one scares us – for some reason – I think it's the fact that you can see it moving and it acts as though its about to fall apart – shudder. You waited all day to read us? AWWW! We luvs you soo much right now. People around here, in 'real' time, spend most of the day avoiding us! Bob did survive BG – and he has ideas now – he says I won't like them though – something about punishing me… oh well. Thanks ;)
CharmedNightSkye – Hmm... If you catch someone running around BG doing the MI spy crawl – that was Bob, and if you see someone running around singing 'It's a small world' at the top of their lungs, that me hehe. I swear one of these days we're going to get kicked out of there lol. But not before I reach my goal of riding every rollercoaster in one day. So far we always fail by one…sigh. Glad you like the story – we are trying to keep it interesting and funny. Thanks for the support :)
coolgirlc – You're luving it? AW – we is luving you. We're not Texans – we used to live there though when we were five, but that doesn't count lol. We appreciate the support and as for 'keep going' we are – for at least, um Bob, what chapter are we on? Hmm, for at least six more chapters! Oh dang… why do I do this to myself? Eh, oh right, sorry – Thanks for the support :)
Dark-Anime-Gurl – Yes… SpongeBob… sponge – bob, spon-ge bo-b, spo-n(smack), um – right – sorry… got sidetracked, thanks Bob. We likes SpongeBob too… simply because of the 'bob' part. And we raise our hands at the Box Ghost question – we likes him – really! 'You hurt the ones you love' and all that… stop looking at me like that BOB! And we luvs vacations – they are great – except when your stuck in a room with your smelly brother – gah. Thanks ;)
CrystalWillow – Aw! We like new readers! They are fun to mess with – er – we didn't mean that! OH GODS NO! NOT NUNS! We updated! We updated! Spare us! Glad we made you cry… um – laugh that is… cause we hate to foot the bill for tissues. Thanks for the support :) We luvs encouragement! Though members of my family would tell you not to encourage us… apparently we scare them.
Nightwing38 – YES! BWAHAHAHAHA! You likes rollercoasters too! Hear that Bob! Hehe –Tenshi-1, Bob-0. Glad you liked your present – we were afraid it was too crappy lol. We often think our stuff sucks. Self-esteem issues? Us? Nahh. Oh, and you shouldn't have signed your name last review… Bob now has a tattoo on his arm that reads 'I(heart)will' – very disturbing. Thanks for everything though :) and I will try to keep Bob on a leash and far away from you, I think he has stalker tendencies.
dark girl – Yep, the plotting is back on. The whole, trip into the TV was unplanned and threw her off a bit. But she is back in reality now and ready to up her timetable to make up for it. Which basically means that 'we're' ready to up the time table to make up for those chapts :) Eh, we just think of it this way, we had lots of fun throwing them into TV shows but that was just a little 'break' for us. Now we are ready to get 'creative' again lol. Thanks for sticking with us :)
StrugglingArtist – We try to update every two days, with the exception of this week, the rollercoasters were calling. Dang, don't you hate it when you don't want to smile and you do… we do that all the time, for no apparent reason. We will just be sitting there, doing nothing, and bam. My brother says its creepy lol. But it's those little 'bam' moments that make this fic what it is. Glad you like it, and glad that you looked a little 'creepy' yourself after reading it hehe. As for how we end it – well, dang… we would like to know that too! We know that its going to be 20 chapts – and that we should figure out how we are going to end it soon – but you know how things like that go… we probably wont know till we write chapt. 20 lol. Thanks for the support – from one struggling artist to another – just be grateful you don't have to deal with a lunatic muse like Bob. :)
Isa Lumitus – Glad you liked what we did with your idea… we wanted to do so much more – but I couldn't find any showing of FG to give me ideas – so I had to got with my memory and its comparable to a goldfish – 8 seconds then nothing. Lol. Will Raven be able to go back to normal? Hmm... dunno – we will have to ask her when we get to the end of this story. We need to start wrapping it up, we want to end it on 20… for no apparent reason, but we haven't a clue how/why/what/when or who we are going to do it… hmm – think we might have thrown in to many 'w' words there. Thanks for the continuing support :) we luvs you!
cailinXaiden – you just gave us an idea of a one-shot lol. You should be ashamed! j/k. what would happen if one day the titans woke up and 'finally' noticed all the cameras around the tower and the script 'tapes' that they were learning subliminally in their sleep… hmm – see! We told you, you should be ashamed! Glad you're liking the story… we try – so very hard… see – my fingers are bleeding! Lol. Thanks for the support!
Chantily Lace – Hitchhikers Guide – well, it's interesting. And if you do watch it I will bet you five 'virtual' bucks that you start singing 'So long and thanks for all the fish' at random intervals – I know we did. Dang – I'm humming it now! Yeah, there has been like two or three DP movies, well, they aren't really 'movies' per-say, that's just what Nick calls them, they are the hour long episodes, umm – 'Reign Storm' or something, was one of them, and this latest one… dang – cant remember its name… where Freakshow shows back up – they have been playing it here for like a week straight lol. DANG IT! Now I have two songs running through my head! 'So long and thanks for all the fish, chantilly lace and a pretty face, fish!' WHY! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME? We luvs you though.
World of Nightmares – Yes! YES! You know what I'm talking about with the movie… was I the last to know? I'm always the last to know. I want to go on Apollo's Chariot – but alas – wrong BG… they don't have that ride in Tampa… dang them. Speaking of flooding – hehe – funny story. See, I lived in this apartment that was above a computer company, who had computers and servers and all that junk, so anyways, one day I was doing laundry… can you see where this is going? Well, the washer didn't stop 'loading' the water and before I knew it the entire apartment was flooded and it was 'raining' on the computer company lol. They lost like six servers that night… and I got electrocuted once! Woohoo! Fun times. Oh, what was that TT stuff you were going to tell me? Thanks for the reviews. We luvs the great support you give us.
XxHunter the One and OnlyxX – Aww… don't go to other authors. We would miss you! Hope you like the newest chapter cause continue we must. At least for six more chapters lol. Thanks for sticking with us.
i want candy – hmm… under the bed you say? We tried that once… the dust bunnies didn't want to give it back to us. Dang they are vicious little things. We have officially stopped banging our head on the keyboard – well, after we got 'FGHJ' imprinted into our forehead… Thanks for the continuing support!
addicted2danny – We are signing you up for DAA (Danny Addicts Anonymous), well, we were until we read your reviews. Then we decided that being addicted to Danny was a good thing – especially if it makes you like our stuff… though we don't see the connection lol. There will be BB/Rae fluffy happening – but its kinda the 'back' story as it were. That's why we didn't put it in the summery, yet. When we make it 'happen' then we will add it. So BEWARE! Lol. It's coming, just slowly. Thanks for the support.
Dark S3cret – Aw – original? Us? That just means we hide our sources well… hehehe – don't tell anyone lol. It will be our little 'dark secret' – ok, Bob smacked me for that really bad pun, but we appreciate the compliment and the support :)
Imp – we don't know why but we laughed really, really hard at the thought of bringing Slade in… You should be ashamed! Giving us naughty thoughts… hehehe. You little imp you. Why yes, we are the masters of bad puns. Thanks for the support, we like to cause household injuries due to excessive laughter… if you fall out of your chair will you film it and send it to us? That would be motivation enough lol. Oh, and if we do bring Slade in… well, we will blame it all on you. Thanks again!
WickedWitchoftheSE – Not crazy enough for you? Hmm… we will have to work on that. And here we thought we had Raven just as far off her rocker as we could go with out her being institutionalize… guess we were wrong… dang – now we have to come up with more ideas…got any? Ok, ok, we know better than to beg ideas off readers, who we wish to thank for reviewing. We will try to get her a little more 'insane in the membrane' just for you. Wish us luck. :)
